Alex and his party neared the closest settlement that was still functioning. By now most of the human settlements within the Mojave were destroyed by the monster tide. However, the largest ones were still functioning and took on many survivors. In front of them was a shelter made out of an old hotel/casino. The surrounding blocks were walled up and guarded constantly by human sentries. When the man on guard duty noticed Alex and his party approaching he instantly raised his crossbow and alerted the other guards. It had been quite some time since a friendly face had appeared, and it was currently in the middle of the night.
