The Second Ordeal begins!
Jake was already well equipped, but when he discovered many boxes full of ammunition of all types, he took the opportunity to replenish his supplies. He still had his old apartment to clear out, which was still on the same islet lost in the middle of a lake, but it was possible that a group of vagrants had already squatted and robbed it, just as he himself had ransacked a farm without the slightest restraint.
Being already well-equipped, he soon lost interest in the family armoury, which was not worth the one at the New Earth Research Center. Not everyone was, however. Even though almost everyone had decent equipment, one could never be too careful.
