On the way to the other barangays, we encountered more of Morales' soldiers and the ones I fought like Romeo and Jerry were present, giving me a short nod when our eyes met. Their groups were more focused on mapping out the entire area and tagging places still ripe with resources. They would still clear a small herd or loot for valuable resources but their main focus was gathering more intel.
"You guys aren't here to take more from this city, right? There are not as many places available because of the fires." Jerry commented.
"Did you forget that we're on the same team? I will always lend a hand but you got to do your part too. I just don't hand stuff to freeloaders, you got to do proper work first." I replied, tossing to Romeo the pack of smokes I picked up from the store they were parked in.
"Uh, y-you should keep it." Romeo tried to hand the pack back, nervously looking at me.
'What's this guy on about?'
