If the NOT A FUCKING NECROMORPH looks dead, loot.
(Bowie)
[5] You check his back pocket and find a wallet with $20.55 and some family photos in it, a pocketknife, a piece of string, a 3 pennies, and a Snickers bar. Also, pocket lint: easily the most valuable thing you found on him. That's some quality pocket lint. You overhear that Leon got some canned goods.
Investigate Forest
(Carrie's dreamself)
You climb through the vent-turned-portal into the forest. It both smells and tastes of ashes. You look behind to see that your portal disappeared.
This forest is so boring, so you investigate the singing, as it's the only interesting thing around you. You walk about the length of a football field before you enter a clearing. Strangely, the singing has not become louder or softer as you approach. In the clearing are three tall trees, each spaced about 50 meters apart. The three trees are all pine, and you can make out glowing shapes marked into all of them, none of them in an alphabet you recognize, but in different alphabets. The trees faintly shine lime green, purple, and red. The trees look just vaguely human. The red one is devoid of needles and its markings are look somewhat like Daedric. The green one has dying vines sprawling across its trunk and the symbols look a bit like Arabic. The purple tree is surrounded by pinecones that are emitting a scent that smells like decaying flesh and the sybols look like Chinese, if the carver was a 3-year-old stereotypical American.
In the center of the triad is a tree stump lacking any symbols or abnormalities, aside from a woman, the woman who must have been singing. The lady, wierdly, has no lower body to speak of, and the stump of the tree seamlessly blends into her torso. Her pale skin is missing in some patches on her arms and back and she is nude. Her bronze hair is tied back into a ponytail, and her eyes are a piercing blue. She isn't very muscular, but she would look beuatiful, if she wasn't in her curent state. A jagged mark, similar to the kind on the red tree, is cut into her cheek. It looks sort of like a lowercase H, like this:

Tears are running down her cheeks, and her ballad has grown more melancholy, until she notices you, and stops singing.
She smiles at seeing you, the kind of smile that you get when you learn your friend has been cured of cancer.
"H-hi, ma'am. Are you here in a dream?What items are nearby?
[5] A glass bottle.
Thank them for the food and water then head to the police station and ask if they need any help, If they do tell them ill require a full set of riot gear and a side arm and sub machine guns and as much ammunition as they can give me.
[4] You head to the entrance of the store with your newfound allies with what supplies the store had remaining, which is 10 cans of black beans, a bag of rice, a bag of brocolli, 3 6-packs of water bottles, 2 packs of bandages, and 2 bottles of glue. [2] However, due to all the ambulances and emergency crewmembers, it may be a while before you can leave the shop.
It is 9:15.
