New Mutation Branch: Bloodsucker
I’ve got my eyes on an outpost I’ll need to recruit my bandit comrades for, and a cabin I could pursue on my own. If I can reclaim the outpost, I should be able to use the cards there for getting into the nearby bunker without a fight.
Well, a trip to the hardware store got cut short once I found there was a roadblock with a turret nearby and a master zombie was in the area,
Killed the master, but the turret must have attracted the group of ~10 zombies in the area, all upgraded. Ran through a library I didn’t even notice was there, got a few books.
But unfortunately, no wrench for me today. Some zombies caught up to me on my way out, but I was too encumbered to fight them. Had to use 5 shotgun shells to kill them.
Also, I went outside at 3 AM and it was brightly lit, then around 5 AM when it starts getting brighter, it got darker. And no, I didn’t have anything emitting light on me. Was really weird.
It was probably a full moon so you could see really well, but the rising early morning sun spoiled your nightvision until regular daylight took over for vision purposes.

Huh. Come to think of it, the weather was clear. Didn’t know it worked like this, thanks.
Today I found and successfully installed a Synaptic Accelerator CBM. It is a happy day.
I am discovering that the busy imps who make this game great have completely revamped zombies. Hulks are totally badass. All the other new weird zombies (hollow, corrosive, etc) are scaring the doodoo out of my survivor. Also, having a great time.

Of course not, chiki-briki, Dolg is the faction to join.

…took me a while to realize that was the romanization.
Needs more Freedom. X3
Long story short, I died.
Short story long:
[spoiler]
My character awakens in a hospital with a neurological disorder. She doesn’t know what it is or what’s going on. She only has basic t-shirt and pants on and survives through the hospital with a pipe. She’s relatively young and good looking and the person she finds inside is sympathetic, and also has a hatchet. They flee the hospital.
It’s fucking cold out. They get jumped by a Mi-go and can’t get away, and have to fight it. It’s 2 to 1, so they do win, but NPC friend lady is in rough shape and limps along rather sluggishly. My character looks ahead and finds a giant mall swarming with zombies. It’s beginning to get dire, so my character pops some caffeine pills and volunteers to rush in and snatch some food that they need.
It was a rough trek. She didn’t get hurt too bad, but one passing zombie too many cut her arm so bad she couldn’t even use it. She hobbled out with plenty of food and a backpack, but she’s cold and in pain and barely manages to escape the MASSIVE horde assembling outside, drawn by the sound of Blobs stepping on the entirety of a minefield. The two women barely escape, somehow only managing to attract a z-9 out of the dozens of zeds that could have descended upon them and beaten them to paste.
By now it’s a full on thunderstorm and the two are freezing. They limp stiffly to the west till they find a wastewater treatment center, which they decide to use as shelter.
However, there’s nothing in it, and they aren’t getting any warmer. My character again volunteers to go out and reasons that it’s just some fabric they need. She’s just bust a window and bring the sheets back. Anything to keep them warm.
She underestimates the time it’d take to get there. It’s cold, it’s pouring, it’s whipping winds, and it’s now utterly pitch black. But she did find the house, right on the outskirts of the town she woke up in. She goes up to the window-
-which shatters before she can even touch it. Something hot splashes on her legs, and gets hotter, and hotter, and holyshititssofuckinghotitburns-
She’s stunned and shocked and stumbles back around the corner, smashing the window out with her elbow and climbing through, thinking perhaps she could pull a fast one on her attacker-
Except the attacker never left the room. Acid sprays on her legs and feet, and as she hits the floor, the rest of her. She’s in indescribable agony as she drags herself back up through the window, unable to feel the broken glass slicing her stomach and legs, feeling as though every inch of her body is on fire. She couldn’t even feel the acid zombie beating on her as she pulled herself pitifully across the dirt and to the sidewalk, dripping acid across her back, eating through her leather jacket, her kevlar vest, her shirt, her skin, her muscle, and finally her spine.
The impulses telling her heart to beat abruptly stop coming, and so does the pain. Everything goes quiet. Everything’s dark. It’s so cold. She’s so tired…
The corpse would be melted to a gorey paste and washed away in a pink slush, then petrified in the thin layer of ice that would form come morning. If there’s enough of it left, the upper half of the cadaver could very well become one of the animate dead.
Just another casualty in a dead world.
(Also fun fact, the only part of her body with any hitpoints left was the head. That’s still mostly intact, sooo…yeah.)[/spoiler]
Well that was impressively morbid. D:
EDIT: After enduring many, many shocks trying to enable the emergency cleanse to destroy a mi-go…
“Unable to reach network router or proxy. Please contact your system administrator to reseolve this issue.”
Who would make a “purge the hostile experiment in the containment cell” thingy that needs internet? D:
Well, after disassembling an entire car and making many boonie hats and fingerless gloves, I’ve finally got everything I need to fix and customize vehicles. All that’s left is to obtain said vehicle. Then I’m off to scavenge for books, cbms, and mutagen!
I went back to my main survivor and decided to finally disassemble the dozens of broken robots in the nearby town. Not sure what I’ll do with all the stuff I get. Probably make a ton of power CBMs. Maybe a bunch of solar panels.
Just become a walking power station?
That’s what I always aspire to.
It’s great if you have the joint torsion ratchet, or the solar power cbm, as you can just go for a jog or take a bike and come back and do whatever it was that needed electricity.
Or both. They really work best in combination.
Put an alternator an battery on that bike for maximum unlimited power. o3o
Tried playing with NPCs ( which i hadnt before cause i thought they didnt work yet ), havent interacted much with them at all and now i see them all over the map. Thing is that i got my hands on some yummy ursine serum and mutagenics, since im all about that science! i injected it all. Now im a freakishly huge, badly deformed, smelly freak with shaggy fur. Only spend a day and a half trying to get in contact with survivors but they all just run away, apart from one chick which i caught up with. At that point i was a bit frustrated and she had a katana that i would very much like for myself so i swung my fireaxe at her, missed and got swiped 4 times before i realised i ran away with very low health and extreme pain ( my strength went from 20 down to 4 ).
So yeah, i guess im just going to mind my own business from now on unless i randomly come across a NPC that doesnt run away. Also all i have been able to find i can wear so far is a XL survivors mask, a loincloth and a wedding veil ( which i reinforced with kevlar ). Any suggestions on how to best utilize my new and… improved body would be appreciated since ive only been playing since friday.
