Throughout the drive, Frederick was unusually chatty, clearly exhilarated.
Driving from Paradise Resort to Eagle Base would only take two hours at his pace.
Along the way, we encountered plenty of zombies.
However, Frederick's abilities were so strong that he didn't need my help—or the system's—to handle them.
About half an hour away from Eagle Base, we came across a significant zombie horde.
