Idiot mc. Should've domed at least one of them. Preferably the clear leader they kept asking questionsand waiting for orders from. It doesn't matter when or where prople are. If the chronies watch their leader suddenly die it breaks both morale and organization. If any of the other ones nearby him do anything but run, dome them too. Be it one corpse or four, their spirits will eventually break and you've got enough ammo in that mag to take out that entire group.
It's survival now, not housewives of the frozen city. Act accordingly.
