00:00Faced at the dash cam, I expected blood corpses, but instead there was a middle-aged couple standing outside.
00:05The woman was holding a young boy, maybe three or four years old.
00:08The woman called out, her voice cracking.
00:10Please help us. We haven't had water in two days.
00:13Please, just give us a little water and something to eat that I hesitated for a moment.
00:17Then open the door to Wanner grab a few water cards and food cards.
00:20Lynn Wanner quickly pulled some water and food cards from the cabinet and handed them to the couple.
00:24The couple dropped to their knees in gratitude.
00:27Thank you. Thank you so much, Dot, I nodded.
00:29It's not safe at night.
00:30Head back now, Dot, I moved to close the door, but the man spoke up.
00:33Wait, please, just a moment, Dot, I said flatly.
00:36No room for argument.
00:37If you're thinking about getting in the vehicle, I can tell you right now that's not happening.
00:40The man looked a little embarrassed.
00:42No, no, you've already given us water and food.
00:44We would never ask for that.
00:46He paused.
00:46But my son is three years old.
00:48It's so dangerous out there.
00:49Could you possibly don't even think about it?
00:51I cut him off, then added while I still had some patience left.
00:54Take what you have and go, Dot, I closed the door before he could say another word.
00:57Lynn Wanner didn't say anything, she just kept staring at me.
00:59What?
00:59I asked, do I have something on my face?
01:01Lynn Wanner shook her head.
01:02No, I just didn't expect you to give them cards.
01:04I thought you were going to lure them into the RV and kill them.
01:06I never said that.
01:07Don't put words in my mouth.
01:08Lynn Wanner pressed her lips together and looked away.
01:11Only those willing to fight and push through have any chance of surviving this apocalypse.
01:15That family of three was unlikely to make it to the second phase,
01:18so honestly, I didn't think of them as people worth investing in.
01:21They were like stray cats or dogs on the side of the road.
01:24I happened to have food on hand, so sharing a little was no big deal.
01:27After finishing our meal, I picked up the military binoculars and scanned the sky above.
01:31The monsters up there told me what I needed to know, a second card rain should be falling soon.
01:35I decided not to make any more moves tonight.
01:38Better to rest up and recover.
01:39The next morning at 7.30, right on schedule, a card rain came down to IT was much smaller in
01:45scale compared to the first day.
01:46But for the survivors out there, it was enough to rekindle hope.
01:49All around, residents poured out into the open, cheering as they scrambled to collect cards.
01:54The card rain lasted less than an hour before it stopped.
01:57Wyone Hall from going out to scavenge had been pretty disappointing aside from a few resource-type gold cards.
02:01Everything else was blue and green cards.
02:03So I figured I'd head into the residential complex and try my luck, maybe trade for some higher-quality cards.
02:07For most of the residents out here, food and water were the top priority.
02:11With that in mind, I packed a backpack full of food and water cards and slung it over my shoulder.
02:15Stay in the vehicle.
02:16Don't open the door for anyone, no matter who knocks.
02:19I won't go far, call me if anything comes up.
02:21Lynn wanted nodded firmly.
02:22Be careful, dot.
02:23I stepped out, tore open a gold card, and tossed it casually onto the open ground ahead.
02:27A red ghostfire motorcycle materialized on the spot.
02:29My only other gold-tier vehicle besides the RV.
02:32The car description for this one always made me smile.
02:34When the ghostfire's in trouble, the whole world cheers.
02:36Everything ready.
02:37I haven't...
