Doing what I suggested had pros and cons and the most advantageous thing about this setup was that complacency would just be thrown out the window because everyone else would be on their toes or in high alert—not to mention the discourse it would cause just from the forced misinformation from the enemies' side—but the drawback was that aside from accidents to occur, it would be mentally draining to be watching out and being mindful as to where they were currently placed at any given time.
To be fair, this was one of those things that looked really good on paper and would totally work for a camp that had small numbers, but this would be next to impossible to pull off with my numbers at home.
And with our aggressive campaign to clear groups of zombies and reclaim as much territory while boarding up the surplus, we even had to recall our "Killzones" where we placed automated traps or repositioned them much, much further to be feasible.
In any case, we only talked for a bit more before we said our goodbyes because our goal was to reach the Marine base in Subic on or before sundown. Reaching Jessica by noon was also our goal but the number of stops we were making just to clear hordes and loot abandoned facilities were slowing us down.
"Alright... Good shit, Moses, but Jane and Eric, we don't care whatever it is you do in your 'free time' but keep your radios on, yeah?"
"Ah— Umm—/ Y-Yeah... sure..."
"Goodbye again, sir!"
With that said, we followed the road by the river and drove for a good 20 or so minutes before I slightly let off the pedal and glanced at the entrance of JED's Island Resort which was a waterpark that existed even before I was born, but its poor state just made me go back to the pace we were in earlier.
'Now's not the time...'
Quinn was the first one to inquire about it:
"What's up with that place?"
"It's a waterpark."
"I could see that but why did you... you know? Looked nostalgic and shit from seeing that..."
"Eh~ It's just been a custom for us to visit that place with everyone back home and even though the decor could use some work, the luxury cars a bit further in—"

After that quick exchange, I rushed to this cluster of 5 to 7 biters but they were already a cluster of four when I reached them because Kaley already bored a lead projectile into their skulls. That made pieces of their skull and what remained of their brains sprayed on the pavement though it only took almost the same slashes before their bodies collectively hit the floor.
