I'm on the highway to hell!

A few hours later.

The second group of soldiers are already making their way back towards a neighboring village that has now become a heavily fortified walled village with soldiers keeping watch all around the clock.

The gate quickly opened up as the armed convoy drove past it with ominous vigor as the guards quickly noticed that the vehicles and soldiers clearly went through an arduous journey with how dirty they were and the underbody of the vehicles, as the wheels are almost covered in disgusting gooey stuff.

The people living inside the village eyed the armed convoy with fervent expressions as they couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes as they knew that they were certainly carrying food and devices that they had looted from the outside.

Knowing that, they all quickly went back inside their homes and took anything that they thought they could exchange for anything of value before they hurriedly made their way to the village square.
