Started a new character, his names Joshua Young. When He spawns near a regional school, I immediately get him out of the evac and on the road. I decided to clear a mansion with a pointy stick, baiting zombies, and bashing them near the bushes until they’re death. Then, I get Halligan bar, and I’am like “ya!”, this means I can start killing zombies in 2 hits instead of 5. Additionally, there was a minefield in front of the mansion, I tried luring a bunch of zombies that were in the front of the mansion, but I was only able to get like 3 mines to explode. So, I went and cleared the rest of the mansion of zombies, and I started exploring. I found two libraries with tons of books, and then I hit the jackpot. In the second library, in two of the display cases I found lots of jewelry, and TWO katanas! Yup, some katanas on day 2 :). There was also a battle axe, and a war hammer, but I decided to roll with the katana.
Since I already built up a short of food, I plan to board all the windows that are near my bedroom, and then read every useful book I can find. A good early game I have to say.
