The trick is never to stay in one place for too long. Inevitably the undead will sniff you out of your hiding hole, and you'll find yourself cornered by an endless sea of flesh-hungry abominations. Unfortunately, while you're on the move, your last encounter emptied the last of your bullets. With an empty gun you're defenceless.

You take refuge in an abandoned police station, looking for a new weapon. Most people have thought the same thing, because the place is picked clean. You are lucky, however, as you stumble upon an overturned desk. Beneath the mess you find a Combat Knife wedged in the head of a decaying zombie. You pull the knife from the now unanimated corpse, taking a closer look at the knife. It's a good find.
