The group that took the lead in climbing the asphalt chunk was mostly made of young people, some in their teens, some in their thirties. But there was an older man with glasses, approximately around fifty, whom I had not noticed before. He was strangely misplaced here.

I reckon that the other people from the south district were either dead, or they were hiding somewhere. The crater was fairly big, and if you showed up in a strange world, I can understand that you felt safer indoors, no matter how destroyed this 'indoors' was.

Still, I doubt that only random people had survived; for that, there were too few people here. The south district should be full of humans, amounting to a quarter of the city.
