After reading Grognaurd's reply I began to suspect the same, that the Maller's could have been able to pick up
the Colony's transmissions too. The reason
the Tower's scavengers found it was because they had to venture further south in order to find new supply sources.
More importantly,
the Mallers seemed to have been already on the way there as soon as, if not before,
Michael,
Pegs &
Kelly returned to the Tower. It took about a day and half to return to the Tower after transmitting the radio message. During the night they escaped,
Lizzy was kicked out of the Tower. I'm assuming that she was picked up by the Mallers that day because
Saul an
Burt went looking for her ASAP. After finding evidence that the Mallers had her, they discovered that
the Mall was abandoned. Immediately after picking up Lizzy, they attack
the arena and reveal that the bulk of the group was already heading south. In
Chapter 32 part 3
Scratch reveals that the Colony was discovered via radio and scouted BEFORE the group abandoned the Mall for better pastures. So, it very well could be that the Colony called their own invaders.
If there is ever a way for this info to get to the Colony then Michael could be redeemed in the Colonists' mind.
Good catch guys.
Oh, the police station where CJ, Saul &
Victor scouted the Colony? I wonder if the Shelby Cobra found near by will make an appearance.
