Interesting Glitch

I don't know if it's a glitch I have seen this for several years now and I think it's the way that the game moves people around for instance yesterday I completed the plastic Depot and my Comic Book Guy was in that vicinity which is in the bottom right corner but then as I was scrolling around clearing Bandits he miraculously made it nine hundred miles up to the redwood tree so I don't know why it doesn't but it seems like it's not a glitch like maybe the computer is just reassigning characters to different areas to help with the lag only thing that I can think of.
