Doing another school start.
I’d say I’m doing well, but every single time I say that, something stupid comes along and kills me. It’s about mid-day, and I found an Electric SUV and moved it out of the city to store my stuff in.
Making a third run into the city with my NPC companion (who has been surprisingly helpful in dealing with hordes of zeds) Lonnie before I head for the hills.
[EDIT: All told, I made four runs into the city before me and Lonnie got separated, and a fifth to try and rescue him, to no avail. I managed to hold on to the machete he used until it was somehow dropped while we ran from a zombie hulk. (I think he got it stuck in a zed and just decided to leave it there, but I picked it up.) I didn’t see his dead body, but I’m pretty sure he’s done for. I headed south in the electric SUV, stopped at a gas station and filled up a plastic bottle with gasoline before I realized the car I was driving was electric. x_x
I headed a little further southwest and found a radio tower with an adjoining building, which is where I’ve decided to settle for the time being. Not much in the way of luxuries or comfort, but it’s better than nothing.]
