#

its like every other turn in B42 is just a horde

#

#

Attract a few
Retreat
Kill the ones following
Repeat

#

easiest way to dispatch smaller hordes, or just use a shotgun and make the horde bigger and then smaller... If you have the ammunition

#

Clear the PD, Part 1

#

Clear the PD, Part 2

The PD itself is, rather clear. PD Horde (New name) will now be led into the trees, hopefully never to be seen again?

What's my plan with the PD you may ask?

Guns
Ammo
You see the fence around the PD? Indestructible and shoot through-able
Basement, cause who doesn't want a basement
roof access
easy to defend
Several storys

All around the perfect place to live.

Clear the PD, Part 3

The PD Horde was led into the trees, and after a scratch on the foot, bringing good old Anemic Jude here down a quarter of health, making him remember that one wrong move, and one bad cut ends his story.

He set up a sleeping bad in the trees, as it is now 11 P.M and with an injured foot, too risky to continue the PD mission, he sleeps in the trees, hoping to see the light of morning.

Indeed, clear it out, disassemble everything and now its just a basement, lots of work, but can be one hell of a basement storage room.

#

Jude slept, okay. Fortunately woke up to see the morning, it is now 7 A.M. He tends to his injured foot, and continues the PD Mission.

#

After an annoying bug, Jude was unable to pack the sleeping bag back up, and had to leave it.

#

Clear the PD, Part 4, final Part? (Maybe)

The PD is clear, or it looks to be. After searching the whole PD for they key because Jude does not have the proper equipment to bust a door down, it was found on a body outside. Jude was able to dispatch the remaining zombies left wondering in and around the property lines with ease, his foot heals well, it has yet to be infected.

steel umbra Dec 27, 2024, 6:55 PM

#

After looting the armory, Jude was rather well-ish equipped with weapons. However, due to his low aiming skill (0), pistols and rifles are out of the question as of right now, but that's ok. He has a shotgun, shell bandolier and 8 box's of 12 Gauge. He moved to the 2nd floor, where theres a nice room that over views the entrance of the PD, making it easy to see incoming threats. This room is also has a gun locker and one entrance, making it an easy spot to defend, but hard to escape. With his low carpentry skill, being level 1, building a gate at the entrance will have to wait a little.

#

#

It's September 5th, 1993, started on September 1st. Winter will hit soon. Jude's goals as of right now are the following:

Warm clothes
Generator
An axe, to start barricading windows
Food supply, with winter being so close, growing crops will not suffice. He must loot all the food he can before then.

BREAKING!!!

While dragging body's out of the PD to make the smell less, and make a corpse pile to burn later, he gets attacked, the Zed made 0 noise until he appeared in the doorway just a tile away. The Zed grabbed Jude, but fortunetly, no scratch or bite was induced, he will live to see another day. But with this comes a new thought, this place isn't safe yet, and Jude will need to put priority number one on securing a safe place to stay. Who knows, that zed could have wandered upstairs in Jude's sleep and easily killed him. It's not safe yet, and Jude will need to keep on high alert until then.

steel umbra Dec 27, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

It is now September 7th, 1993. Most of bodys out front of PD have been pilled, yet there are more inside, estimated around 15-ish more, give or take. Even though I would like to continue dragging the body's, my food supply has run very, very short. He will use most of the 7th to loot stores and homes in the general area for food. The entire day of the 6th was spent moving body's. (I love and hate the new dragging animation for corpses, really cool to look at but god damn does it take AGES to move body's)

#

Found a van in in absolutely amazing condition, and with my burglar profession, he can hot wire it right up, and make life much easier.

#

The cars noise has unfortunately drawn the PD horde back right infrount of the store's he was about to loot, so now we must drag them away, slowly.

#

Ditched the car in the front of the store, as I am better at leading zombies away on foot.

#

times like this i wish I packed my shotgun.

#

Well, a slight hiccup clearing the stragglers, Jude was bit. However, I have the Super Immune trait. But it will take weeks for virus to clear.

#

Well, its not looking good for good ol' Jude here, he has been bit, had to sleep on the floor due to zombies being on the base floor, tried using furniture to block the way to my little room, unfortunately that no longer works and when there's no path for the zombies to go, the furniture becomes walk through-able. He's severally hurt, sick, extremally uncomfortable which will lead to depression and at his breaking point. I'm almost out of shotgun ammo and I have almost no melee weapons. This is bad.

WHAT A TURN OF FUCKING EVENTS:

BASE COMRIMISED, THERES SO MANY AROUND IT
WHILE SHOOTING ZOMBIES AND LEADING THEM AWAY FROM MY BASE, A FUCKING HELICOPTER EVENT STARTS WHILE IM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GOD DAMN FOREST
IM VERY TIRED, EXERTED, AND COLLECTING THE HALL OF FUCKING MODDLES

WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG???

#

steel umbra Dec 27, 2024, 9:42 PM

#

The heli has left, and I think I lost the horde following its sounds. However while walking through the forest i got a fucking laceration on my left thigh, and because im anemic it damn near killed me. What is my luck right now? 😭

#

FUCK EVERYTHING THE HELI IS BACK

#

#

No car, limping in the forest, near death, infected, tired, hungry, sick and cut up.

#

He made it to that lake, where hopefully zombies cant hear the heli. Jude sits watching the tree line, trying to recover as much stamina as he can. He's out of shotgun ammo, he is growing hungrier by the minute. This has not been a very pleasant day. It is now September 8th, 1993, 8:50 P.M. Just a day ago he had everything, and its all crumbling apart. Like sand between your fingers, its all slowly falling apart. I watch as Jude's situation gets increasingly worse, and his moral lowers. He's getting increasingly sick with the virus coursing in his body. He wonders if its the end. But he's strong, and will not give up so easily.

#

He has seen better days.

#

This is where the story will pause, as I have been playing this game for 7 hours, it will continue, and we shall pray for Jude. 🙏

#

And here we are...

Jude is, not doing good. Right now the heli has just left for the 3rd, and hopefully final time. He's still by the lake, but he's now disorientated. Too dark to read the map, and very sick. Its currently 10:30 P.M on August 8th, he will try to go through the forest to the back road by muldraugh to re-orientate himself. One scratch, one wrong move, and Jude will no longer be alive.

#

Change of plans, Jude is gonna sleep by the lake, no zombies have yet to arrive, so I think he's out of range. This sleep will get rid of his tiredness and endurance loss. Lets pray he makes it to morning.

#

Unfortunetly, a night terror woke Jude up at just 4 am. Endurance is back to full, but he's still starving, very tired, and everything else. He will start moving through the forest, taking his time as one cut will kill him.

#

Jude fucking did it. He made it fucking home. After slowly moving through trees, and too tired to fight, he ran into either zombies attracted to the heli from when he made his first initial dash into the trees, or a scattered part of the PD horde. He ran, ran as fast he could into the general area of where he thought was home, when he emerged from the trees he was only across the street from what he calls home. He will take a few days to relax, and recover.

#

#

Jude now does what he should have been doing that night.

#

Jude's Goals:

Warm Clothes
Generator
~~An axe, to start barricading windows~~
Food supply, with winter being so close, grwoing crops will not suffice. He must loot all the food he can before then

#

#

After looting around for more food, killing a zombie decked out in some nice looking military clothes (Marked in green circles), accidently formed a small horde (Red circle). In Jude's lack of melee weapons, and health, grabbed the pistol he loaded at home before embarking, and shot down the street. (Marked in yellow) After bringing them and nearby zombies down the street, fled into a building (Marked in blue) and is hiding out until zombies are attracted. The purple line marks his plan back. Zombies broke a window, most likely the one(s) near the door to the building he fled in, he may have to leave a little early.

#

I should have followed my path... after hopping the chainlink fence in front of the door to that screenshot. thinking nothing of it walked towards the body of the military zombie, and while walking over a pile a of corpses, glass shards periced his shoes and into his feet, both of them. With jude already being on low hp from the virus, its over. There is nothing I can do.

#

I am sad to say, but this is the end of Jude Hennessey. Unless anyone knows how I can possibly recover this

#

HOLY

#

FUCKING SHIT

#

I SAVED IT

#

#

JUDE LIVES FUCKING BARELY

steel umbra Dec 28, 2024, 8:29 PM

#

Jude is still, dying.

#

If you watch the clip, you can see Judes health continue to slowly decline. If I remove a bandage I die, but i don't, he still dies.

#

Jude has stopped losing health, and in fact gained some!

#

Jude has been through a lot in the last 3 days, infections, cuts, fear and violence. His mental is gone. On the brink of death, where even a grain of sand will kill him. He limps home a broken man. But not completely broken, as he is gonna munch on some chicken.

#

Jude is gonna recover.

#

Jude's luck is turning around, after cleaning some rags in the PD bathroom, accidently opening the loot tab, he saw a first aid kid in a locker containing everything he needs to stich his wounds up. I didnt have any before and was planning to take a trip to the clinic, but that has been saved.

#

Pausing the story here, this has been a very stressful day for Jude, and damn near death. The glass in his wounds have been removed, yet not stitched yet.

steel umbra Dec 29, 2024, 6:09 PM

#

Jude has just arrived to the clinic in Muldraugh, its infested, horde after horde, he's using the car to draw them away. His goal?

Suture Needle Holders
The first aid kid he found contained everything he need... but suture holders.

#

Thats just a small portion of the hordes.

#

Hes in no condition to fight, he can barely walk. His goal is to swoop in, find suture holders and leave.

#

He stays in a house right down the street to sleep so he's fully rested and, as prepared as he can get.

#

And he has just found out than can be stiched when they stop bleeding

#

All stiched up.

steel umbra Dec 29, 2024, 6:35 PM

#

yikes

#

Even in his very injured state, Jude is still deadly. Armed with nothing but a glass shiv and his bare feet, he kills anything.

(yes ik i have a gun and ax, but guns too loud and hachet durability being saved for trees)

#

WILL WE SEE JUDE'S COMEBACK??

steel umbra Jan 1, 2025, 6:07 PM

#

Sorry for the long wait. Happy new years everyone!!

So Jude is still very alive, but still not very well, its now the morning of September 12th, 1993. He's still in the general area of the clinic. He's trying to secure a good place to sleep for the night, but with all the noise he made in the area the day prior, that's proving difficult, Deadly Jude still kills them with ease, using windows as a weapon.

#

He gets ready to sleep in a not so very safe building, but he has no choice. We pray he wakes in the morning.

#

He wakes at 5:30 A.M. Night terror woke him up, but its okay. He's rested and alive. Its a rather rainy morning today, but what's the harm in a little rain?

#

Realizing too late, water has shut off. Sinks and such are no longer viable. He didnt exepct it so soon. Unprepared for the water shutoff, he ponders at options. He can use pots and such on the roof, but that wont hold him over in the long term. Power is still on, but will that go soon? He now is is urgent need of power, and carpentry level for rain barrels. This isn't good, and as he has solutions for short term, he is not in health to even work towards long term. But a generator is now urgent goal #1.

#

Jude is gonna make the most dangerous mission of his life, he's in desperate need of an axe, a good one. At this point a good axe is life or death. He will embark on a mission to the McCoy's, where they should have all the nails, wood and axes Jude can dream of. He will also stop around for generators, food and things like that. Book stores, Grocery stores, supply stores, whatever the hell he can get his hands on.

#

He prepares.

#

Both of Jude's feet have been infected now, but now is no time to rest. Power shutoff could be any day now, he needs a safe place to live, that is no doubt. Even with Jude on the brink of death, he must done what he has done these last 2 weeks, fight. Push, survive and thrive. You won't get anywhere sitting at home. This is what MUST be done. Jude packs his bags, food, beer, drinks, pills, caffeine, medical supplies, guns, ammo, knifes, everything. This must be done right, slow and steady wins the race, Jude plans to clear a building at McCoy's out and sleep there while he slowly and methodically clears it and loots it.

#

Remember. P.S.T
Push.
Survive.
Thrive.

#

First horde.

#

He drew as much as he can out with the sounds of gunfire. He's gonna lead them, somewhere. That has yet to be thought of. One thing races through Jude's mind, one saying he will make known, and spread through the wastelands of the apocalypse. Push, Survive, Thrive.

#

JUDES IN A BAD SPOT, HES CORNERED

#

HIS PLAN WAS TO JUMP THE FENCE AND ESCAPE BUT HE CANT MAKE IT OVER

#

WITH A HORDE CLOSE BEHIND AND NOWHERE TO GO IS THIS THE END?

#

WAS IT ALL FOR NOTHING?

#

AS HE RUNS HE WONDERS WHY HES EVEN HERE, WHAT WAS HIS PLAN? HE LET HIMSELF GET AHEAD JUST TO PUT HIMSELF IN A CORNER

#

HIS MINDS RUSHS, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, FEAR. HE HAS NO PLAN, IT ALL FELL APART.

#

ALL HE CAN THINK IS TO PUSH

#

PUSH

#

PUSH

#

PUSH, SURVIVE, THRIVE, HE HAS TO PUSH THROUGH THE HORDE THAT FOLLOWS HIM SO CLOSE, ITS LIFE OR DEATH.

#

PUSH SURVIVE THRIVE, PUSH, SURVIVE THRIVE, PUSH SURVIVE THRIVE

#

He sits in his car. His adrenaline wears off. He can't stop thinking about it. For the first time Jude felt true fear. He shakes at the thought, he keeps flashing back to that fence, he failed to hop it. Several times. He sleeps in his car, to try again in the morning. The gunshots only brought a few out, so many more reside.

steel umbra Jan 1, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

His fitness is becoming a problem, he gets exereted way to fast, hes strong, but cant be strong very long.

After searching 2/3 main buildings in McCoys. Not. 1. Axe. What kinda logging company dosnt have axes?? Was Jude's near death experience worth absolutly nothing?

#

I'm gonna pause here, life has been a little busy recently.

Incase you are curious, I have just under 200 hours in zomboid, so their are still many things I don't know.. This is also why I have been in way more sticky situations, and near death almost every other day lol. But its fun, I like this story, its tense. Don't get me wrong surviving is cool, but the action, the near death and the despair that I've been through right along side with Jude is what truly makes zomboid, zomboid.

Ontop of that I also factory reset my computer at somepoint, and am scared I lost the saves to zomboid. However, hopefully the worlds are still there when I redownload PZ at some point. Been taking the time to recover and heal from the accident. Love all yall and thanks for being so invested in my story of Jude!
