Im already thirsty. I decide that I need to get SOME supplies before heading north. I stick to the coastline to avoid heading into the middle of the city. I have already heard faint gunshots, so I know I am not alone. I begin to methodically search the nearest buildings for supplies. I find a warm hat, and a can opener right away.
I head back downstairs after searching a building, and literally bump into a man with pack holding a mosin nagant rifle. My tongue catches in my through, and I scramble backwards. The man throws the rifle over his shoulder and draws a red fire axe into his hands. Still at a loss for words, the only thing I can think to do is kneel down and put my hands on my head.
"I have nothing" I say. The man looks me over for a moment, then turns and heads out the door.
I delay a few seconds, then go out of the same door. There is no sign of the man. I run to the next building and find a pair of gloves, and a large heavy monkey wrench. As I exit the building I hear more gunshots, and a zombie scream. I wait and listen. These are much closer than before. I look to the north. Past a few more industrial buildings is a road, and past the road are a few smaller structures as the terrain moves uphill. Next is an open expanse with some bushes, and what looks like a farmhouse up on the hill right before the woods get thick. I decide this is my escape route.
I hear a sound, much closer. I peek through a hole in the wall and can see a different man with a rifle running around. He is maybe 50 meters away, and he doesnt seem to see me. He is moving from my right to my left, and I sit still waiting for him to pass.
"Go", I think.
I start jogging north. I pass the first building, and then there are gunshots behind me. I hear a snap on the ground near me and I pick up my pace into a sprint. I duck through a fence and try to put cover between myself and whoever is behind me. Rapid shots now, but they sound more distant. I reach the road, and continue my sprint without looking anywhere but north.
