The most unrealistic part. They're mercenaries, they're loyal to money
The Great Panic in World War Z was when the public realized there was no cure and the rabies vaccine developed did nothing against the infection. Another chapter mentions a border guard who remembered how "[travelers] gave me a look that said money wasn't going to be good for much longer."
In that moment I doubt their paychecks were on their mind.
I mean, right up until the second that they are suddenly not and the relationship needs to get redefinded.
If you hire a guide to take you out in the wilderness, be polite.
