After the last unfortunate event I gave it another go and was plonked on the coast at Kamyshovo, right next to a zombie infested village.  Great!  I snuck around, looking for an escape but there was no way out, I resigned myself to the fact I was going to die – again.  Interestingly the zombies spread out, giving me some room and I managed to crawl through into the nearby village, loot a couple houses and grab myself a Makarov with ammo!  WOO!

Wiggled my way out, got up the hillside with a handful of cans and tins, I was happy!  At last I wouldn’t die instantly, I could figure more shit out.

I wandered around a bit and saw I was pretty close to Elektro so I made a beeline for it.  I was taking a risk but to get further I needed to try out the cities, get used to the approach.  Managed to attract no unwanted attention and got into a hotel with 3 floors – inside I found all manner of things, food, bandages, ammunition – twas a gold mine!  Sneaking out I was suitably happy and snaked my way down the high street, just exploring when out of the corner of my eye I see a rifle – a Winchester!  With ammo no less!  Finally a proper gun.  A gun that won’t invite half the continent to my door. 

I wiggle out, spy the supermarket and get inside, more food, more gear and a water bottle.  Great!  Whilst I’m here I may as well visit the fire house; inside I find binoculars, more Makarov ammo and bandages.  This is great.  Now I just need a hatchet and a hunting knife, I’ll be pretty much self sufficient, bar needing the occasional visit to the hospital for zombie bites etc. 

Next building I get exactly what I need, a hunting knife!  It’s all coming together as I skip out of town and head into the countryside for a hatchet.  It’s slowly getting darker and it’s harder to see, I still need that hatchet or I’m stuck, I will have to go into town for my food and I don’t like that.  In the distance I spot a barn, it’s surrounded by fencing but the back door is open, so I run for it.  Two zombies growl and come lurching towards me – both go down in a second as a Winchester round each takes them down.  I bolt into the barn, and there it is; a hatchet!

Now I have everything, matches, hatchet, hunting knife, weapon with ammo – oh and a gillie suit which I found in the 3 floor hotel.  

Hunting is going to be easier now.
