cold after flu after cold. That’s happening 
Basicly, spawned in a LMOE Shelter, checked map and was a road that lead to a Gas station nearby so went to check gas station but it was a automatic one that requires cash cards and had no store, so moved on up and checked map at a fork in the road and seen a 2nd LMOE Shelter so I went there after finding a random pile of human bodies, some with cocaine on them being guarded by a Kreck & 2 blobs/small blobs, ran past them and made it to the shelter, loaded up on guns and stuff then went out and killed the kreck and blobs, looted the bodies and went back to the fork and went the other way towards a mine with a parking lot, before I got there I had to detour across a field and through a bit of forest to avoid a roadblock with turrets, when I got there i found a running flatbed truck in drive-able condition so I got in and shut it down and spent the night in it as it was getting late, in the morning I drove it across a large field finding a Marked PA (my first PA Ever!) and as I continued east/south east I encountered a Random NPC, I talked to her and she was a meanie, became hostile and started shooting, instead of just shooting her down right away I figured I’d try out the PA i picked up so . stripped off everything, including my glasses (can Glasses be worn in a PA for Near sighted Chars?) and got in the PA and took her down, but not before the one side of the truck box got shot off and it was either that or something else later nearly broke my arm. anyway after me and the truck surviving taking her down i took off the PA and put my clothes and glasses back on, looted her body and loaded up the truck, and started driving onward to a town, checking my map for a gas station, I never seen one right away so I moved in further to look for one hitting zombies and avoiding cars and wrecks along the way , after I killed a Zombie Brute with my truck I tried to talk to a Random NPC that I believe was being chased by the brute I killed but the NPC was Fleeing from me so I couldn’t chat with him, then I checked the map again and spotted a gas station further south that I proceed to go to, when I got in the area I decided to use my truck to clear the area out by going around the area in circles killing dozens of zombies with my truck, when I was satisfied and a storage part of the truck fell off I went to the lone pump on the southwest corner of the station next to a dumpster, shut down the truck and put what gas I could in it
after filling it up from 2-3% to 9% I hopped in, went to start it up but no go, checked the truck and noticed it had no charge and the battery condition was red,so i said “Well we had a good run together, so i guess it’s RIP for now, i’ll be back for my stuff when i find something else”
and that’s where I had left off, now to go and get back to the adventure!
Edit: Derp, what I thought was a Gas Station wasn’t a gas station, it was a Hardware store…
Edit 2: Left hardware store and made my way to the gas station, first stop was a Mil Surplus store where I got some better equipment then stopped at a gun store where I picked up some .45 for my Enforcer (That I got I got from random NPC with no ammo), they had some 9mm and a .22 guns that I had ammo for (spawned in LMOE Shelter minus gun to use it with, had 0 volume so I took it) but the guns weighed to much to take so I left them, then i made it to the gas station, fought some zeds, filled some bottles and glass jars with gas in case I found a good car or something that just needed more gas, fought another zed or 2 breaking my arm in the process, became dead tired so tried to sleep in a room inside the gas station but would wake right up again because of the cold so I decided to go across the street and check out the house there, when crossing the street and finding a window to get in though it got dark, I got attacked by a Fat Zombie, Feral Hunter and a Zombie Master (First Known Encounter), I emptied my Enforcer, was going to use my Remington 870 but can’t use shottys with one arm so was either my mosin 1891/30 or ruger mini 14, went with the ruger at point blank but wasn’t enough and I died.

YES FINALLY
SOMEONE ELSE FIGURED OUT HOW TO KILL TANK DRONES RIGHT
Seriously, tank drones can be killed just by driving a pickup into them at 70 mph.

I think an artificial night generator + light amp goggles might be even more practical. I will try that with the next one.

…Here I thought ramming one with the RMCC was overkill.
I am still disappointed the tank drone can cause even the RMCC to swerve… I’ll be back later I need to some scientific car/train-crashing.

Killing them is all fine and dandy but I’m more concerned about not getting shot while I’m doing it.
Things got easy and I got bored, so I decided to put on some Japanese armor and go kill the nearby ants to increase my melee skill, your melee skill can never be high enough, ever.
I also decided to go on a super reading time, I nearly died of thirst so I drank from a nearby pool.
Is time, for my first ever rolling fortress of death, I have a bad idea a very bad idea and I love it so, so much.
Slowly evolving from my lowly office peon days to the Z slaying knight I was born to be. Maybe good ol’ Keiter Luca is slowly devolving mentally into believing that he has been transported to a time where the sweet ancient armors and weapons he found in a mansion is his birth right. And the Z are rebelling peasantry.
Avatar relevant?
Had my first run in with a Chicken Walker.
I knew I was saving that LAW in my trunk for something good. 1 shot killed it, and it didn’t even get a chance to shoot me.

For ten people who die to a tank drone/chicken walker, there is one that knows how to kill it properly. You are that one.
That’s because I spend too much time on the forums on my phone when I can’t code or play Cata. 
It was also a lucky encounter. At night, plenty of range and it didn’t spot me, and I randomly got a LAW from some wreckage.
So uh, I cracked two safes in a cellar.
Found more than I expected inside.
About 20 guns, and circa 3000 rounds of ammo. lol
holy crap I see one once and thought meh probably not worth my time.
I am so going to look in them next time

I was surprised as heck, only opened two other ones previously. Think those times I only found power armor and a .22 pistol.
I decided to make a blunderbuss and a flintlock rifle. c: I like the blunderbuss, I imagine it the description isn’t lying about how it degrades quickly but meh, its easy to make anyway. c: time to mass produce gunpowder!
a year and a half, 2000 kills later i thought i can take on a tank drone. He’s still laughing.
I just noticed that an active chainsaw is probably the strongest melee weapon in the game.
