That won't do. NOW the Scavenger is having a moral dilemma. He hesitates.
What will he do? Will he tell the Bad Dudes to fuck off? Will he do the execution to get suspicions off then lowkey sneak off somewhere later?
No. He decides to stay crouched and whisper to the Survivor "I'm going to shoot by your head, just play dead okay?"
Bear in mind the two bandits are still there unloading the cart, and keeping half an eye on the pair. The Survivor thinks he is being toyed with but he tries to play along regardless, and unsurprisingly it doesn't work. The bandits can plainly see the Survivor ain't dead.
Queue confused laughter. They ask Scav "wtf" basically and Scav loses it. He tells them to fuck off and stomps down the tunnel to the squad's Leader- a real piece of work with a shotgun. Scav demands they let the Survivor go since the battle is over. The Leader tells him off, saying he's not going to let the Survivor go just so it can bite them in the ass later.
Scav's blood is boiling from this miscarriage of justice. I'm not sure why he chose this moment to get indignant (they already did some Bad Shit) but he ends up punching the Leader.
I'd say the Bad Dudes beat him stupid, but I think someone already did. They beat him unconscious and left him for dead in the tunnel. Later he woke up to a huge rat trying to figure out how to make a meal of him, and the Survivor deadzo.
He did live through that, but eventually did perish.
Really he probably should have been killed by the bandits but I'm a sofite.
