The World of the Dead (A Zombie Survival Quest)

[X] Find a rock and chuck it at one of their heads.
 
Part 1: 13
You looked around for something, anything you could use to gain their attention without being loud and potentially drawing in zombies from elsewhere. You did see a few small rocks around... they weren't too small like pebbles, but their size still left things to be desired.

You picked up one of the stones and chucked it on top of the car. It had a small metal thud and rolled off, but this didn't gain the attention of any of the dead. They were probably too stupid to realize the rock came from your direction... maybe that would change if you nailed one in the head.

You picked up another rock and threw it indiscriminately at the general height level of the crowd, since you didn't feel like assaulting any dead children if you could avoid it. The rock hit a man in the head, and he turned towards your direction. You couldn't stop now, or else he would just turn back towards the car.

You began rapidly picking up rocks and throwing them in the direction of the car. So long as you hit one of the zombies, they seemed to react to it. Thankfully, other zombies on the side of the car closest to you began following the few heading your direction. Unfortunately, the zombies on the other side of the car were completely oblivious to anything other than the man inside.

With an infrequent but steady stream of stones, you began to lure the zombies towards the street you just came from, throwing a final stone into the convenience store for good measure to hopefully lure some of them inside. You didn't stick around to corral them any further, but you at least got a good distance between them and the car.

You ran back to the car and stepped into view of the once again confused man inside of the car. The remaining zombies were all crowded around the passenger side of the car, so he opened the door and quickly ran out of the car, tugging a backpack along with him. You called him over with your hands and the two of you quickly moved through the brush to lose the few zombies that just realized that their canned food had escaped the container.

"I think we lost them," you said as you looked behind you after some time. You weren't exhausted, but the man was panting from having ran.

"Oh, thank the heavens..." the man finally said. "My car broke down and I was trapped in there for three days..."

Was there anything you wanted to ask the man?

[X] Do you know the area?
 
[X] Introduce yourself and then ask for his name and last occupation.
[X] Ask about the cars and the area, see if you can get to somewhere safe-ish before continuing the talk.
[X] In a safer place or if you can't find a place, ask about his other skills and how it happened that he got trapped there.
-[X] All the time be polite and show your monk ways simply by acting through them.

"I am Kanasanan," you said with a polite smile. "What is your name and what did you do before all of... this?"

"I'm Budin..." the man said, "...I was managing my store when all of this madness started."

You kept an eye and ear out for any sudden signs of danger, but for now, things seemed safe where you were. "Did you travel from Route 4?"

"Yes... the road was getting cluttered with abandoned vehicles, so I started to take a side road when my car suddenly broke down. I would have died if you didn't come and save me."

"Where were you heading to?"

"Singapore. I heard it's actually safe there... please, do you have anything to drink or eat? I'm starving..." he said lowly.

[] Give him a can of food and a water bottle.

[] Your paths diverge here. Bid him farewell.

Wehave plenty and allies are as important as supplies in these situations. Besides, we have no allies right now x)

It did not even cross your mind to not help Budin. You set down your backpack and opened it, riffling through the contents until you produced a water bottle and a can of food. You handed the bottle to Budin, who snatched it from your hands and quickly opened it before practically pouring the whole thing down his throat.

While he drank, you took the knife and cut open the lid on the can of pasta, handing it to Budin as he scarfed down the contents.

"Thank you so much..." Budin said lowly, looking somewhat embarrassed of his gluttonous actions. You zipped up your backpack and slung it over your back once more. "Are you going to Singapore, too?" he added.

You shook your head. "I'm afraid not. My wife and daughter are waiting for me in Pattaya."

"R-really? I heard that city is a walking graveyard! You know they are safe?"

You did not know. You had brought no phone with you, and had no opportunity to locate one until right now. But would a cellular device even have batteries remaining at this point? But... of course they were safe. They had to be safe.

"Yes, I do," you said. The thought crossed your mind that they might have heard that Singapore would be safe, but it was probably too dangerous for them to get too far from your home. They would not be there.

"I see. That's great. I wish you all the best... but..."

"Yes?"

"Perhaps you can accompany me for a bit? Now that my car is shot, I'm planning on finding a boat and sailing along the coast down the Singapore. I can find you a boat, too, and you can sail up to Pattaya."

You had little idea of how to operate a boat, but it's not like you would be going out into the ocean. Sailing alongside the beaches sounded doable for sure... but there was no guarantee that a boat would be found. This could end up being a waste of time...

[] Sure, go with Budin to find a boat.
 
[X] You would continue on foot.

I'd rather have him come with us, but if he won't... We don't know how to operate boats, we have no idea if we even will find one, and, for me, the walking option just goes better with a monk x)

Thats a interesting thought actually , living on a boat and getting ur food that way instead of staying on zombie infested land is a very viable individual or family survival strategy ..
