The next morning, I survey the town below. I can see zombies and closed doors; both are signs that I could be the only one here. I advance, still cautious.
It turns out to be quite fruitful. I find a large fireman's ax, which proves to be even more effective at dispatching zombies as I take down a half dozen during my looting. Loot is plentiful. I find first aid, food, another canteen, and plenty more that I leave behind. I find a propane tank and a portable propane stove. I fill my water containers, and move west northwest.
There is another town within sight of the first town. The first thing I begin to loot is a parking lot. I find a map of the area. The previous town was Novy Sobor, and this town in Stary Sobor. I find much of the same things here, and I need little of it. However, the map indicates a small military compound across a field northwest of town. I decided that I should check it out, since both of these nearby towns had not been looted it was possible the military compound also had not been looted.
Getting there was nerve racking. I sprinted at least 200 meters across a field when there was no cover available. There was some trees and brush along one of the roads leading north est towards the base, so I hunkered down when I got to this point. Squinting at the base several hundred yards ahead of me, I notice movement. There is a person running away from the base in a north east direction. I can tell by their posture that they are holding a rifle of some kind. I watch them move until they are out of sight.
Assuming that person looted anything worth looting, I am somewhat dejected as I creep into the base. I crawl under a hole in the eastern wall, and head for the largest building, which turns out to be some kind of administration building. The front door is still shut! I go inside. Within minutes I find a magazine full of rounds for my handgun, and I lock and load. I find a camo jacket to match my pants. I find a large (empty) ammo box, and upstairs I find several boxes of 5.56m and 7.62mm ammo.
I head outside. The first barracks I find appears to have been looted. I find a pair of black gloves and a kevlar helmet. I find a green hunting backpack, which is much harder to notice than the bright red hiking backpack I have, so I swap my stuff out.
In the next barracks, I find an M4 automatic rifle in the first bedroom. Completing my search of the barracks turns up two 30 round magazines, which I load with ammunition and slap one into the rifle. I find a second magazine for my handgun, as well as a tactical vest. I grab a pair of military boots and run. By the time I am sprinting into a nearby patch of trees, I look like I am ready for deployment.
It is a strange feeling at this point in the game for me. I know I don't want to be a random bandit, but now that I am fully equipped I am at a loss of what to do. I am healthy, stocked with food, water, medical supplies, ammunition, and a means to deliver said ammunition. Where will I go from here?
