Moon's eyes landed on the large building that the veterans and the Lieutenant had all ventured into. A solid stone structure near the center of the base, more fortified than the surrounding buildings, with guards posted at the entrance. Clearly an administrative or command facility where important awakeners gathered.
With the location known and faces memorized, Moon headed out of the base.
As he walked toward the main gate, many awakeners tried to recruit him into their groups, calling out offers of partnership and safety in numbers.
Moon declined each one without breaking stride.
As he passed one particularly persistent group, their leader called after him, "Lone wolves die fast!"
Moon ignored him and continued on his way. He knew the veterans weren't going to leave that building anytime soon. Debriefings, reports, equipment maintenance, and rest would occupy them for hours at a minimum. In the meantime, he decided to hunt more beasts and continue accumulating resources.
