The quest for useful things begins. So, I'm stuck on Sahrani , and supplies are meager, so I set out to explore my surroundings. I found several small villas and towns nearby. I was able to pick up a few things, some canned foods, and one soda.
That's my biggest issue at the moment. I've not found much to drink, and it's hot.
Zombies are not everywhere it seems , not yet anyways. They tend to stick around the villages and houses of places. I'm guessing, what ever they did in life, or were familiar with is where they stay around. I'm not sure why. A few will wander away , but if left alone they will meander back to where they started.
There seems to be quite a variety of of them. I don't think, they can see very well, but seem to have excellent hearing, or possibly a great sense of smell.
Most shamble along at a slow walk, some even remaining stationary looking around. Even if aggravated, they walk towards any noise I make passing by.
Occasionally, I will see what I call "monkeys" , these types travel in a crouch, more hopping along like a chimpanzee.
Every great once in a while, I'll come across a "freshy" ... a zombie that can still run. Those are the scariest. They will chase me a long time, unless I lose them in a building, or break thier line of sight.
I've started calling them by how they appear.
"Grey-Skins" , ashen and pale, with black ooze dripping from thier mouths.
" Regulars" , bloody and dressed in bright clothing, poor people, that had obviously been bitten and died from it.
" The masked ones" ... I've ran across a couple of these, they carry hatchets and have some sort of protective mask on thier faces. I assume, they tried combating the zombies when the shit hit the fan. They died of course , just how they are.
" Clubbers" zombies that carry thier arm around, swinging it like a club.
I'm sure there are more types out there.
Which, they all seem about the same to me. I wonder, if I ran across "Patient Zero" if I'd even know it from any of the others.
As I was traveling around , searching for supplies, I did stumble onto something ... first I was amazed, as the sighns on the fences was in English. I assume I ran into either a old US military base, or maybe a british one ...
The Sighn and fence. This was a blessing in a way. I found some nicer weapons , not much ammo , but nicer things.
I picked up a hand held crossbow, a M4 with a grenade launcher under. No grenades , good thing to ... I don't really know how to use em. Only a couple of magazines worth of ammo though. I discovered an MP5 with one mag, a slightly bigger pack.
I hung onto my little trusty makarov ... but I'm running low on ammo due to close calls with some of the running zombies. Just a few bullets left in it. Hopefully enough.
On my way out after scouring the place , I came across an abandoned Humvee with a mounted machine gun. I guesstimated and marked it's location on my map. I stashed my new MP5 in it, as I needed the room in case I found other things. Keys were still in it , it's banged up badly. Needs a few wheels , all the glass is shattered out of it.
Nearby I found a fuel tank and engine parts and a toolbox. I was able to repair some of it, it runs now, just will not roll for lack of three wheels. Not much petrol in it either.
But , it will at least be there, when I do find some wheels and maybe a gas can or something. Kinda be a nice ride. Had ammo for it's gun to. Might come in handy , if hordes of zombies are near.
Now if I could just, find something more to drink ... I'd say my luck is changing for the good.
As I left the Military compound.
