The next several hours passed relatively smoothly and without major incident as I—along with Ivy, who seemed completely unwilling to leave my side for reasons she refused to explain—helped the various clearing teams eliminate as many remaining Infected as possible from the blocks surrounding our new settlement.
I would focus mainly on taking care of actual fighting situations, dispatching Infected. Ivy would provide minimal medical treatment when necessary, though honestly everyone was performing remarkably well at handling the standard Infected without sustaining serious injuries.
The teamwork and coordination were genuinely impressive.
In fact, there hadn't been a single death announced throughout the entire day—not one casualty despite hours of continuous engagement with potentially lethal threats across multiple city blocks.
