At the Slag Heap, I took the Guide to Rostok, where I got my weapons and armor repaired. After that I took the Time Warp Anomaly that teleported me to southern Garbage. Upon arrival, enough time had passed where it was no longer daylight but after dark. I went north to the Flea Market, where I realized the darkness was actually bad weather. Another heavy storm passed through and then the daylight returned. That is when I saw all the activity to the east by the swamp and when I went out and ran into the squad of Freedom Zombies. I also found nearby several dead Loners and a dead Bloodsucker. I came across a wounded Freedomer, that I was unable to help.

Game Note: I discovered a spot to the east of the Flea Market, next to the swampy area, where NPCs were suddenly materializing or going online. They would run north and then vanish quickly, going offline. This appeared to be a cycle, as if it might be the same NPCs over and over again. Ever so often, one would appear like the others but go west towards me, but step into an anomaly field and explode.

I thought there might be some dropped weapons to grab, so when I went towards that area to look for them, a squad of Freedom Zombies suddenly appeared in front of me, that I started shooting. As I looted the Freedom, I found other dead NPCs and a Bloodsucker to the north. I also found a wounded Freedomer, but I was unable to access any dialogue with him. I made a manual save, that I reloaded in the next video, thinking it might fix the problem of not being able to give him a medkit. When the reloaded game started, the Freedomer vanished.
