I’ve found my AK. Looks like that undead technician tosspot near the town entry did somehow tear it out of my hands, because he did the same to my shotgun. When I was driving past him.
(It was a pleasant discovery to recall that I had cleaned that part of town — for I expected quite a fight there.)
Beat him, took my guns back. Did a bit of scouting, found five crates full of army supplies — MREs, grenades, dynamite, smoke bombs, all good shit. Then there were these fungal flowers nearby. Prettily animated, I have to say.
Boy, these things BURN. I approached them with a dozen or something of incendiary grenades, but two or three did the job BLAZINGLY fast. The giant fungal flower (whatever was its name) took a bit more work. Now there’s a nice ash field. And a bit of burning forest, hehe.
(Blue sunflowers? I almost feel bad, I like sunflowers.)
Then there was a lab but I had to bug out fast, as it seemed the lab was of iced variety — ridiculous -50 and lower values for body warmth. Er, don’t know for sure, I had never checked those values before whilst underground. But I had also never received ‘your mouth will be frostnipped in x hours’ messages on z-minus levels too.
