I somehow made my way halfway through the town to a street with a grocery store and two hardware stores, found a shovel, and entrenched my way around the store. I looted the nearby houses and the grocery store, and got bored after getting sieged by three dozen zombies who died in my trenches.
I go to sleep in the safety of the entrenched hardware store and I wake up a bit later being beaten over the head by one of TWO NECROMANCERS. The fuck!? I cap one in the skull pointblank for massive damage and he dies, while the other one crashes through the western window... Where the front door is, and only two lines of trenches are. Shhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! I run right for the door and bolt through, to be accosted by a spitter, a boomer, 4 zombies, a skeleton, and the other necro. I quickly lay down a line of 2-wide trenches and they all get caught in it, but the damn necromancer WON'T BLOODY DIE! I pull out my pistol and empty three clips into the fucker from 3-4 tiles away, and my flashlight battery then dies. Next thing I know, I've got boomer bile on me and I'm blind. I quickly round the corner and nearly fall into a trench, gain my sight back, and go back to kill the fucker. He. Just. Won't DIE.
I run next door into the grocery store and all seems well. I loot it, eat and drink, and spend 5-6 hours getting my cooking and mechanics skills up to level 3 via books. I then get bored and decide to set the place on fire. I set ONE DAMN TILE on fire and all of a sudden the whole fucking neighborhood is at the front door. I set 4 more fires to mask my scent and cover my tracks and make the stupid mistake of going through the front door. BOOM, Boomer bombs me, shocker nearly blows my head off, and I'm getting chased by the horde all over again.
I lay down some trenches but I'm damaged so I take too long... I decide to haul ass and seek safety... I decide to, since I'm about to die anyway, install an energy-saver CBM for the hell of it.
...I apparently damaged my genetic code upon installation and contracted two 'conditions'. The first is 'Quick'. Wait, what? WOO! The second is... Fangs...? Hmm. So I fucked up a cyborg installation and turned into a super-fast vampire? F- YEAH! I now have fleet-footed, quick, and fangs, a pretty badass combo if I ever stop beating zombies with a sledgehammer, shovel, or shooting their brains out, and figure out how exactly to activate the fang attack.
I haul ass and try to escape the horde, seeking shelter in a house to the south of the reinforced hardware store.
My laptop crashed, NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO! I reload the autosave which oddly enough left me a few tiles north of where I was shooting the necromancer in the trench, and proceeded to haul ass to safety.
Had to save and run back to work, as I was 15 minutes too long into my lunch break. Oops. >_> When I reload I'm either going to be horrifically lucky or really fucking screwed...
Time to use those 3 molotovs I made and empty a few pistol clips.
Oddly enough, I haven't had even ONE gun-related skill-up o_o. Melee either. Hmm.
