The group of three are walking along market street witnessing abandoned cars and bodies littering the street. The bridge they plan to cross is above the Berg River. A river that slits the town in half, Liam asks Kevin to scavenge through the cars.

"Hey Kevin do you thing you can search some cars?" Liam says pointing over to a SUV with the trunk open. "I check it out but watch my back." Kevin says walking over to to the SUV stepping over a dead body with the head severed.
