After blowing up some clickers, I found a shotgun in a locked store and used it to fight off some runners. I climbed over a large gate and tried to stay quiet while a Scar sniper shot at clickers nearby. I was following some Scars when I got caught, and I died while trying to heal.
After blowing the clickers up, I found a way to jump to a neighboring building and get inside a locked store. I discovered a letter containing a safe combination there, though the safe itself remained hidden from view for the time being.
While searching for the safe, a runner suddenly ambushed me inside the store. I was forced into intense close combat since I didn't have enough time to draw my weapon.
I found a shotgun tucked beneath a desk, which was a welcome addition to my gear. I put it to use immediately on the next group of runners, noticing it had the stopping power to take off heads with a single blast.
I managed to open a door that was locked from the inside and reached a Chinese-style gate. I had to perform some climbing to reach the other side.
Immediately after crossing, I spotted clickers wandering the streets, but they were being picked off by headshots from an unseen source. I also noticed several Scars moving through the area, adding a new layer of danger.
I realized there was a sniper on a nearby building who was responsible for shooting the clickers. I had to move with extreme caution to avoid drawing his attention while I trailed the Scars on the ground level.
Following the Scars, I climbed up into a building where I got a clear view of the sniper on the opposite rooftop. I stayed low and moved carefully, knowing one wrong step would give away my position.
Suddenly, I realized two Scars were inside the same building as me. I tried to move in, but they detected me before I could strike, forcing me to take them down in a frantic struggle.
With the whole area now aware of my presence, I tried to slip back into the shadows to recover. I attempted to heal because my health was critically low, but I was caught off guard and taken down just as I started to patch myself up.
We'll check what happens next in another post.
