Then Run Like The Coward We Are!

Only go for the Pot if there aren't any Zombies in between us and the house.
There are almost certainly zombies between you and the house (you know because you saw them when you were running here). You examine the various corpses and find some more...useful, clothing among their remains. It feels a bit grim to wear the clothing of the recently dead (or undead for that matter), but necessity conquers all.
As you're trying on the new clothes, the girl continues to peek out the window for any incoming danger. A small child stumbles inside the pawn shop, the girl casually severs its head. The skull rolls toward you and you can see that the once pink cheeks have decayed into a dull green-grey. Some of the bone is peeking through. You stifle a heave and clutch your mouth. You wipe your face and realize that the undead boy was carrying a backpack. You go over and pick it up, it still seems to be in good condition. You pull it from the boy's shoulders and put it on yours; you can smell decomposed flesh and a chill goes down your spine.
After all is said and done, you manage to built an outfit (of sorts) from the clothing you find, you also find a FN P90 submachine gun (no bullets, but it could come in handy later), and a bottle of superglue (superglue is always useful), and some sort of important looking document, something like a ledger; the title reads: "Standpipe maintenance log", you put it in your bag for a future look. Finally, you put the rollmat you spotted earlier and the book on fletching into your bag, you try to fit the tent as well, but its simply too big.
Zombies begin to gather outside the pawn shop; you jump out the window and run for the hills (literally). A long line of zombies begins to follow you:
But most of the others have disappeared beyond the horizon. It seems the girl (her name is Elli) injured her leg so you (reluctantly) decide to fight. Its a quick fight and this time around you actually help and manage to get (lightly) injured. You find some more items among the bodies:
You immediately pop a painkiller (you were hit a few times, right?) and offer some to Elli, she refuses despite her leg, and instead, motions toward some zombies approaching in the distance. You nod, and start walking again...except, you don't really know where to go...
What will you do?
*Btw, I don't really know what the latest features are with NPC's, is there any way to heal them? Also, since the winter break is over, updates will be coming somewhat slower (I expect at least 3-4 updates/week).
