BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.

Corvo fol owed her gaze and shook his head. "Like I said, nuttier than candy-bar shit." He lay down on the floor, propping up his jacket as a pillow. "Alright Jacob, it's your turn for the first watch.

Everyone else, get some sleep. We'll move out at first light."

The man in question picked up his shotgun and walked over to the wall near the door to get into a

comfortable position for his watch, grumbling al the way.

"What about food?" Markus asked.

"We're out," came Corvo's simple reply.

The young man's face fel , almost in unison with a loud rumble from his stomach. However, he was

elated to see Samantha proffer a small, crumpled bag of peanut M&M's. He greedily grabbed a

handful and tossed them in his mouth.

"You, girl, are a lifesaver. I owe you one."

She smiled in response and turned to offer them to the others.

"Wel , here we are. The 'historic' town of Riverside," Jacob said sullenly. He was in a bad mood as usual.

Probably because Corvo woke us all up too early, Markus thought, shaking his head.

The four survivors made their way into the dreary town of Riverside and found themselves amid a

scene of devastation. A mixture of abandoned and wrecked cars was scattered throughout the

streets, among piles of rubble and dead bodies. Some were riddled with bul et-holes, while others

had been clawed to death. The stench was terrible.

"You know, for once, it'd be nice to visit a city without dead bodies everywhere," Markus

deadpanned, crinkling his nose.

"Get used to it," Corvo said crisply as he lit up a cigarette. As he exhaled, he noticed that there were a number of APCs (armoured personnel carriers, he clarified for the others) and various other

military trucks amid the civilian vehicles. "Looks like the army was here at some point."

"So where are they now?" Jacob pointed out.

"Maybe they're further inside the town." The war veteran flicked the cigarette to the road and lifted his sniper rifle. "Only one way to find out."

With that, the team made its way careful y through the silent streets. They cautiously kept watch for

any signs of danger, but the area was dead quiet. The town was disturbingly empty; there was not a

living soul in sight.

"Where the hel is everyone?" Samantha muttered.

"If I had to guess, I'd say that most of the infected ones came to the party at the church last night,"

Corvo grunted. "That nutter sure invited a lot of 'em."

"But where is the army?"

Corvo did not respond. From his experience, if there were not any soldiers out on patrol in the open,

then the area was not secure. There could be hostiles watching them right now. He maintained a

vigilant grip on his rifle.

"The main street should be around the corner," Samantha said after a while, breaking the silence

that had fallen over the group. "Hopeful y there's a – " Her words died in her throat as they came to the centre of Riverside.
