The rest of their trip through the mountain range was close to uneventful, with only the occasional groups of monsters wandering through their path.
The party stuck to the road, so there were fewer monsters present. It would have been a whole other story if they had wandered off the path.
When Gulnur and his group explored this zone, they had been deeper into the mountains and often had to hide from the larger predators in the area. Wild zones like these always contained their fair share of zone bosses.
The trek through the mountains took the better part of their day, but they made it through. Once they were out of that zone, they took another break, taking turns to log out and do what they needed to.
The ones that had it easy were the players with pods. All they had to do was hook up more IV bags to the pod and attend to basic needs.
