[The Road Warrior] What did the people of the compound find two thousand miles North?

They seemed to have at least survived, judging by Feral Kid apparently having eventually become chief, but did they find anything when they went North? civilization? fresh water? a less violent organization of tribes?

Desert, desert, desert. 

When they got to the coast, there was no water. So they turned around. They were desperate. There was a green place they passed through on the way back. They had to steal food and water to survive. 

The people from the compound were attacked by a group of women. To escape they held a woman and her daughter hostage as they retreated. Many of the people were killed, and the hostages were wounded in the crossfire. 

Two days on they took shelter in a rock quarry and found a spring. They tried to tend to the wounded, but without medical help most injured in the long exodus and the recent shootout died. The hostage died, and her daughter's arm had to be amputated. 

With no where else to turn, and with the guzzoline all but gone, the survivors of the compound set to building a city. But as the days turned in to weeks, raiders found the camp and began attacking on a regular basis. Less organized than Humungus's group, the raiders were fought off again and again, but the attrition of each battle left fewer and weaker survivors. 

With nowhere to turn, the survivors dug in. Scavenging and twisting the bus into crude tools, the survivors scrambled up and into the very living rock. They blocked the external exits of the spring, and protected the life-giving water. 

As starvation began to set in, they made a deal with a particularly nasty group of raiders called the Boys of War. The leaders met and joined together in a truce. The raiders roamed afield for supplies, and the survivors provided shelter and water. 

As the years went on, the wasteland and the radiation killed and killed. Few survived those long dark times, and those that did turned more jaded. The raiders sickened even more, their far trips leaving them unprotected. 

Eventually only a few remained. Not surprisingly, the feral kid with his resourcefulness grew up to be a greatly respected leader. In his teens, he led a short coup, and consolidated the power of the survivors and the raiders. He expanded, repairing a nearby drilling station, and allying with yet another powerful warlord. He continued to lead through a very tenuous peace. 

But even then, that small bit of peace was the longest period of calm for the descendents of those brave survivors!
