I think he led the way but he's hallucinating or having some memory lapses due to trauma. semexukexseme
I don't think so cuz he was behind the doc all the way there. And the doc announced they were "already there" while he was hyperventilating. I think it's impossible for the doc to know that for sure if he hadn't been there before, especially since almost every infrastructure there has collapsed.
But how did the doctor know where his house is? Don't you think that's suspicious?
