All 30 cars were scrap vehicles, but even scrap vehicles could be scavenged. Sure enough, the first car had a lighter, commonplace in Future City but now a treasure. Still, with the lighter, I'd lost the chance to tease Maya by making fire with sticks.
The second car had a can of lighter fluid.
The third car had half a comb, a pity it wasn't a System Item—barely touched, its teeth broke off and fell away.
Finally, under the canvas of the tenth pickup truck, I found something valuable: a can of gasoline. Now I could finally make Incendiary Grenades.
Next, I saw a two-seater scrap sports car that looked like it might be a highway star. Hoping against hope, I inspected it and sure enough, it was scrap, unfixable. Glancing inside, I spotted something in the back seat. After making sure there were no Mutant Zombies around, I broke the window with my pistol, checking again for zombies lured by the noise.
