"We been having to go further and further out, too. Didn't used to have to do as many two week trips," Daryl admitted to show he understood. "Ain't done house to house stripping of the places around us, but might have to start just to make sure we get everything useful. Work our way out from there and start heading into the cities."

But cities were dangerous. Not just because of the dead, but because they provided a lot of places for other groups to hide and pick people off from. Sure, there was the possibility of encountering groups with good intentions like the Vatos, but that had been way back at the start. Anymore, the chances of running into people like Grady or the Saviors was much higher. Hilltop had been a chance encounter and even that didn't start out well.
