The city as we know it. There's a grocery store that will have food and probably a cart or two, a library above it that should have useful skill books, and an electronics store that may have useful gadgets and batteries
The grocery store doesn't have a back exit so we attact some attention going into it from the street. Skeletons can't actually smash windows/doors, but zombies sure can
Our first vehicle, the shopping cart
I put all the loot into the cart. There were also some skill books
Next is the library.
... which has the most disappointing selection ever - a single skill book that trains throwing, and a ton of novels
I looted the electronics store above too. The only notable loot was a hotplate. Drinking from the deep river water (dark blue tiles) has a small chance of poisoning you
I decide to go around the city, and when I walk next to the traps we found yesterday I notice that the animals have triggered the traps, leaving two crossbows and two bolts. Crossbows are excellent weapons. It's worth walking into the traps to geet them, but this time I didn't haev to.
Slow to reload, but they do a lot of damage, are silent and you can pick up the bolts afterward
The shocker zombie that almost killed me rose it seems, because I forgot to smash it
I take care of it with my crossbows.
I make my way to the most northern house
It has a mechanics skill book. Mechanics 3 is good enough to do basic stuff with vehicles, if I had the equipment.
I notice a slime pit north east. We won't be sleeping in this area.
A survivor zombie notices me. This is the first time I've seen one of these actually. I had no idea what they did.
Turns out they hit very, very hard. I'm almost dead.
I use my two first aid kits. First aid kits are best used for cleaning bite wounds, but it's an emergency.
The survivor zombie seems to spawn with survivor gear. Makes sense. Survivor clothes are high-end clothes that were only craftable until now. Unfortunately this one only had a winter glove part. It's spring.
I go west to uncover what's in the northwest part of the city and despite my best efforts, a Mi-Go notices
The Mi-Go is faster than me. I assume a defensive position behind a bush and wait. Outlook not so good
Doh. I forgot to use the crossbows. But the zweihander performs well. The Mi-Go runs away.
I try to go for a house, but a mass of zombies appears. And a fungaloid.
I'm pretty sure there's a fungal spire north. Fungaloid can give you a nasty infection, but the zombies would've meant certain death, so I choose to run north
It starts raining
I finally see the spire. Unfortunately it would be really hard to avoid
I find a crashed military helicopter with lots of goodies. The filter mask will help against fungal infection if I'm not already infected
I get out of the forest in the field. There is a herd of cats. If I had cat food I could befriend one.
I walk up to the road. There's a prison east, and a large-ish looking town west
The bridge has many vehicles, but none are operational. Most just lack gas though.
An annoying coyote follows me. It dodges my sword swings. It can't dodge crossbow bolts though.
I get poisoned drinking from the river. Looking back this was a bad idea.
I'm in no condition to explore any more. I go back to the bridge and hide in the cabin of a truck. I put up the leather pants to get leather parts to repair the steeltoed boots.
I use the hotplate to cook some diner
Looking at the map I note that there's a mansion on the edge of a forest. Mansions can have libraries and sometimes have good weapons. Since I have the zweihander, the books would be of most interest.
It's only 3pm, so I read some books until dark.
After getting marksmanship and archery to 1, it's time to sleep
It's morning. I'm hungry, thirsty and my torso is still in pretty bad shape. The truck is my base for now
The map
What could go wrong?
