Last chapter I thought they were just gonna hide in the forest with the camper van and bring some gas to refill. I doubt the guy with the Mazda would have thought that they were hiding close by: after being stalled for time he'd be in a hurry to catch up and chase them on the road.
Why is EVERYONE so retarded!? The writer clearly wants us to think so, why are the characters constantly put in situations where they can put an end to this and then just don't?? This is done on purpose, MC might be extra dense, I might accept that, but why is everyone like that?
