I can't believe we made it out of the building unscathed. Though it was obvious the lower floors had been looted long ago, when this apocalypse first began, there was no one else in the building....at least anyone who made themselves visible. There are still plenty of shadow areas in there for other survivors or gang members to hide.
There wasn't much on our floor, but we at least found a pistol. It's unloaded, and we didn't locate any bullets for it, but it can be used to intimidate an enemy if necessary, or to pistol-whip someone. It's useful, and that's what matters. Maybe we'll find bullets for it later.
I've been elected to carry it, since I was the one who found it.
There are a few people on the street, but they are mostly keeping to themselves, heads down, scurrying along, hoping to not be noticed. It's not quite dark yet, so the gangs haven't come out in full force. They're like vampires, feeding in the night and thriving on its darkness. If we can make it to the edge of town before the sun fully sets, we may have a real chance at escape, and finding a new, safe place to live. Maybe, if we're very lucky, we'll ALL make it to freedom.
We haven't been on the street too long, huddling together in a large group that I'm sure makes us look like our own gang (and thus, intimidating to others), when we come across a beat up pickup truck on one side of the road, and a nicer looking, newer car on the other side. There don't appear to be any other people nearby, but you never know. It's a tough choice, because there could be valuable supplies in those vehicles. There could also be sleeping gang members in them, or small, armed family groups who will shoot first and ask questions later.
The short-term safest option is to just keep going, but that won't help us long-term. We need supplies, and it's crucial that we search any place that looks promising....and deserted. It's a risk, but we can't pass up the opportunity to search the cars.
One half of our group goes to search the truck. I argued against it, because the truck is pretty far in the bushes, which means it is more likely to be a trap. There could be anyone hiding in those bushes, using the truck and the promise of possible supplies as a lure. But, we really need to search both vehicles, and a large enough portion of our numbers are willing to take a chance on the truck. Even dividing our numbers in half, there are still dozens of us. I think, and hope, that if there are gang members or other bad guys hiding in the bushes that our people can overpower them with the strength of those numbers.
I volunteer to take the rest of our group to search the nicer car. Honestly, the truck is probably more likely to have useful supplies in it, but again, it's too risky to search. This newer, nicer car may not have as much, but it's also farther away from the bushes, and so less likely to have others hiding in its vicinity. We can also do a quick search underneath the car as we approach it, and look in the windows before opening it, to make sure there are no evildoers waiting to ambush us.
And, really, at this point, any supplies we find will be useful. Even if the newer car doesn't have much to offer, we can probably still use it. It might even be in driving condition, which will help us get the most vulnerable of our group out of town more quickly. If it drives, it will also be useful in making trips to and from the woods for supplies in the country.
I'm armed with my pistol, empty though it may be. If there is anyone near or in the car, or if anyone approaches us while we're searching it, I'm ready to take them on and protect my people.

Time to discover what this car has to offer.
I have a Magnesium Firestarter and I choose OPTION 2
Magnesium fire-starter tucked away securely in my back pocket, I'll risk a quick search of the nicer looking car and then scram.
