Life During an Alien Invasion

Описание: Five years after the invasion, a small community in Mozambique is still calling for anyone who can hear them. There are machines inside the growth around the landed ship, and it is getting closer to their homes.

I wanted to follow the people who survived Part 1. How do you find each other when the internet is gone? How do you rebuild anything when the land you need is slowly being taken over? This time we hear it from the survivors, through their radio calls, local broadcasts and the messages they manage to pass between settlements.

Would you keep trying to defend your home, or leave before you know there is somewhere else to go?
