It would appear the day after returning to base camp, where we were the air quality had changed and was very much alot cleaner. We decided that we would keep moving on but above surface now. Our gear was replenished and replaced with anything better or new we found in the bunkers we had explored. We always kept to the best of our ability well taken care of. The bunker we left we decided to just leave it unlocked. Was hard enough to get into these bunkers to begin with. I stopped to have a drink of water and check on everyone at the camp. The injured would be slower than us and we would have the medics with them. At least a couple, during our journey the group sometimes would have new members join and we had lost a few. Alot of nurses and doctors were displaced about the country it seemed. You'd be unwise not to add them into your group. Me and James made sure to get their names and help them out however we could before adding them to the group. If they wanted to join. We were moving up north to where its colder and there were supposedly less monsters or slower ones up that way. The border near Canada would be a good place to search.
Me and James still were wondering if that human society earth would ever return to the same or recover. The ones who started all this mess, some had backup plans and ways to combat what they had done. And by now it was likely any scientists and engineers left would all be gathering in bunkers or shelters and labs to work on this issue. I had seen alot of progress towards it in the bunkers, and alot of failures. Places around the world were still filled with monsters and the harmful gases and toxins and radiation that had been released from the collapse of society. It was about 2pm on my watch and we were on our way to Virginia. I wanted to head up north to NYC to see if maybe we would be safe up that way. All the gear we had was loaded and everyone signed up for their roles for the travel. We trained everyone in every role we could, and we would rotate them as often as the schedules and such would allow. We wanted to keep some sense of normalcy. Humans seemed to me not to function very well without a focus or tasks to do. Time could drive a man mad by itself. Let alone the horrors we had come across. The injections we had taken only had helped to a point. It made us alot more combat effective and our natural immune systems would be able to combat anything in the air that we came across. We did however keep our air quality meter devices and other sensor devices active, and we would wear our respirators when required. So far as we moved further north the air seemed to be improving. Maybe we could finally have hope for once after all these years.
