When the three of them arrived at the entrance after dawn, the crowd had already gathered. Yesterday's group and their weapons were nowhere to be seen—only patches of blood stained the ground.
Today, the crowd was thoroughly prepared. They had brought every conceivable container and piece of equipment capable of hauling supplies back, including five large cargo pushcarts.

Women and children will walk in the middle of the group. The elderly walk more slowly, so they will be at the front. I will lead the way today, and my two friends will bring up the rear!"
