We made it to New York after the bandit attack. We had been fighting for so long I don’t know officially what the date is. I’m pretty sure it is the 4th and I missed the 3rd.

Bandits attacked us from all over after we accidentally drove through their base. Once they saw our truck they just started blazing away. I really didn’t want to, but I found myself testing out that new irradiated rifle. It shoots through metal, and when it hits the flesh, it seems to corrode and burn like flame to paper.

We hit a bump and it sent us into a death spiral. We knocked over several tents and flattened a few bandits before we had to evacuate. On foot we took out another 20 bandits, Kat being an excellent shot when under pressure.

We didn’t get all of the bandits, most of them said they would be coming back as they ran away. I marked off three locations on the map. The one I described here is the one under New York City, the other two are camps I found on maps from inside the camp.
