Can I Escape a Doomed City in Project Zomboid?

good evening tonight president Phillips will try and restore calm to the troubled United States after the disturbing developments on the Louisville event as we all know it's been 9 days since the first infection a week since the quarantine of the city began and only yesterday we learned of those immune and the Airborne transmissibility of the virus it appears statement has been released prior to the press conference new so for those still in Louisville with a heavy heart we thank you for your sacrifice under impending destruction some tried to escape [ __ ] they're too quick they're too quick they're too quick I thought I they're too quick how are you supposed to get revenge delivery driver he just wants to burn down his place of work oh secure the area around their home they're too fast they're too fast they're too fast they're too fast they're too fast but they Fallen co-workers to rest fight against dwindling [Music] odds no no no no no no no no no we'll see their family members one last time but all their efforts were in vain as the military would never let them leave and the dead inside refused to let them live so that's what we want oh [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] but maybe just maybe someone would make it spawning in I found myself surrounded by lockers and quickly figured out I was in a school based on the loot inside the dead had already spotted me not knowing the extent of the infestation within the building ignored the threat and continued searching the lockers soon as I began fighting any number could hear come sprinting towards me but the door was about to break luckily neither of the two were sprinters and the third emerged after a delay [Music] there's a battle through the hallway in adjacent rooms with sprinters forcing me to run [Music] around the lack of a melee weapon causing El [Music] laceration but I worked my way into the car park through the pain and my growing needs there were enough cars I could almost guaranteed gas but without the ability to hot wire finding a key was my only hope so I methodically searched each glove box and [Music] ignition lock I needed to smash a window to get [Music] in [ __ ] okay God damn it [Music] no before I could get back inside sprinters already blocked my path but after maneuvering around them found the building in valet ruling out options at every [Music] [Music] turn [Music] that someone was not Maggie Pearson Jean Villa is an outdoor survivalist with a plan deep in the forest maybe he could survive the blast and live off the land but I needed to get there [Music] first after sweeping my home for loot I fought and snuck my way to whatever car I could see [Music] see smashing the passenger window I ran away immediately to avoid any drawn sprinters thankfully [Music] nothing the luck didn't hold as I turned up empty-handed when rifling through the car so I broke into the neighboring house hoping for Keys supplies for camping or a bit of weapon getting dark I hunkered down and slept away the night I needed to speed up my Escape breaking to a barricaded home was just what I [Music] needed I found protective clothing food weapons The Last Resort the bat made me formidable but not safe pushing North I spotted a severely damaged Jeep and smashed my way [Music] [Music] in I had my ticket out of here if it lasted the journey too many zids hit or one crash the engine would give out and spell [Music] [Music] disaster now on the outskirts I gunned it to the South and used the adjacent fields to give me space to maneuver around [Music] groups now far away I pulled off and found myself at the forest edge I had made it with sprinters coming I used what little durability the car had left to kill the followers and left on [Music] foot I ventured deeper and deeper into the [Music] woods if I sto I would die but I soon found myself shrouded in darkness and fearful the branches tearing at me would be followed by a bite separated from his Squad Terence Rock heard the news from his superiors on what would happen to Louisville it was on the wrong side of the fence fighting immediately I worked to secure my spawn house but struggled to see a godamn thing opening occupied rooms I retreated into Moonlight to fight in daylight I meditated and plotted my Escape could use the corpses inside as camouflage to get close to the fences then think of a way through except it failed to deceive the [Music] Dead [Music] [Music] [Music] bitten and barely hanging on the hope of my immediate Escape was dashed but there were rumors of those immune and I could recover all I needed was time and a secure place to [Music] [Music] plan venturing North I found a homestead a bike and an opportunity to gather [Music] resources [Music] with the sun sitting in the nearby Factory yielding [Music] little I biked [Music] home my absence had let stragglers wander in [Music] for the remainder of the day I added sheets to the windows cleared the area began disassembling furniture for planks and nails to barricade my home continuing into the next day I disassembled more furniture h a way to avoid a helicopter cleared the deaded pool and strip two more [Music] homes Laden I secured my home and plotted my next steps [Music] overnight [Music] finding myself in a storage lot but unable to access anything inside I need to find the basics of survival somewhere else immediately began checking the vehicles out the front only to be met by stiff opposition over time I slowly armed and armored myself from the Fallen dead but they reminded me that one loud noise would spell my in still I needed to check for [Music] keys with no luck I entered the American tie store hoping to find weapons supplies or anything remotely useful the thought of multiple sprinters running me down I broke raided what little I could from the back room before it was also [Music] overwhelmed [Music] a bite is already dead unless that vaccine actually worked shooting up in a storage lot bathroom HED for the best but anticipated the worst thankfully I was still kicking so was the parking lot gas and keys meant I could flee the area but without food I risked starving before finding a source so I pressed on to the Eastern buildings Cafe have more time if I could get everything out [Music] relatively safe I continued searching cars for something faster or gas to ensure my Escape From the City Center forced to use a single bottle slowly transferred gas into the step Van's tank and finally entered the bat dude no no then again I took a break in the van before confirming my inability to access storage units fighting even more dead into the evening more food was only one window away [Music] [Music] why strip beer I return to the van to unwind get on top of my [Music] withdrawal nearby group had decided the parking lot was their new home and after a close call and with my basic needs [Music] me my time here was over driving Southwest through Louisville with sprinters [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] with more sprinters joining The Fray the van would die before they would so I continued searching further down the road gunning it I stretched the legs of the van while putting distance between me and the pursuing dead seizing a break in the uniform distribution I ditch the vehicle to enter the empty State unknown numbers would soon be on the van if I treed carefully could take this place and wait out the [Music] apocalypse [Music] there was some solid scores inside the mechanics book meant it was far more feasible to grind it to level two for hot wiring the next two things on my list were bringing the van inside the compound assessing my new car and then getting through mechanics hitting South I gained some free XP installing a tire but avoided breaking windows in favor of stealthily looting a nearby [Music] Home encumbered I dumped everything inside my van before returning to the street I bought it home in invaluable supplies and the spilled blood paved my way to them now had high damage Millie weapons a large capacity backpack and all I'd need to keep myself going for the foreseeable future I'd like to have taken guns but sprinters and agobia meant any charging did would quickly overwhelm me so I chose to hold on to my pistol for the time being after some basic carpentry and organizing turned in ready to continue my work with keys for a near pristine Toyota Corolla added some fuel and scouted the nearby area not great but easily navigable with better awareness of the state of my surroundings I knocked out more homes for supplies tuned into the radio they deprived me of the chance to cover home for myself for all my effort this van would now be my grave if I did nothing to escape thinking it through I had two paths with the same answer with the blowtorch from the neighboring house I could cut through the quarantine fences to escape but I needed to find a welding mask or I could break through with a sledgehammer if I could find one regardless both required a trip to a warehouse and I knew just the [Music] one familiar and sparsely populated streets quickly broke into a shet showell if I drove directly there Untold numbers of sprinters would run me down so I elected to try and pull them away from the complex so I could infiltrate with my relatively quiet [Music] car except now I needed to double back through the Miss I created speed was a dangerous friend as it let me put distance between me and the dead but almost caused me to overshoot my exit back to full speed I'm mentally prepared for the fight of my life I know plans from here on out just [Music] instinct [Music] with the corpses spred against the fence I took a moment to siphon gas before pressing into the warehouse [Music] Rel relx oh [Music] cheeky jump skip way too much I was cracking under pressure banging and a consistent stream of De kept attention but I slowly pressed [Music] on a welding mask I had a chance I wanted to take everything but a jet overhead shook me into gear for any chance of success I would need Nightfall and prep time time at [Music] home with plenty of the day left I added gas to my Corolla loaded my new nail gun grabb food and water and meditated drawing the next steps in my mind over and over until it was time to put them into action I was headed to the southeast of the industrial complex from there I could drive close to the quarantine wall and C my way to [Music] Freedom finding myself in a residential suburb I cut my headlights and continued venturing Southeast until I ran out of Road without a choice left I took what gas I could and fled into the [Music] woods the quarantine faints equipping my blowtorch I searched for a weakness before cutting my way through and fleeing into the world Wilderness the military could still track me down but I had made it and left countless Souls [Music] behind
