I'm missing a decent amount of photos of the start. right now as I'm typing this he survived 2 days and 3 hours in riverside.

pop for the first week is 0.75 then it will slowly increase to very high pop setting. yet he got so unlucky that 4 houses that he spawned around had events. from robbery-football game. so it got out of control when I found a shotgun. he was pushed out of the gated community. also with my irl luck I got so unlucky that the water shut off on day 1. Which for me is so common at this point I'm not even shocked.

still on day 1 he fled thinking that the zombies were just the lower class and he thought that they were "eating the rich" but they took it to literal. so he went to the poorer area trying to blend in but it didn't work. the first house he checked a house alarm went off. causing his location becoming to hot. he fled with a horde chasing him into the woods. He lost most of them but still had to fight 2 off barely winning. So exhausted that he had to sleep on the dirt for the night.

Day 2 he already fell so far that he sleeping on the floor without anything. sore from fighting for his life and carrying things from life he had to drop his fancy wine and items to be able to run if something find him. he snuck into the poor district and once again another house alarms goes off. but he did find a car and the key. but it out of gas and he needs to get some gas. He made it to the gas station and of course his luck is so bad it also had a house alarm. gas station is now swarming and even the police station across the street. he then fled back into the poorer location. where he slept so stressed out from the shooting and screams he hearing he kept waking up all night. But he heard from a tv in the living room talking about a virus but doesn't know where it is. He may be a nurse but he was more given that by his rich family he not smart enough to connect the dots and he still think it just the lower class. Which is somehow worst because he will gladly kill them because he thinks they just wants his money.

on day 3 he went back to the gas station seeing how bad it is he went into the spiffo for something to eat while watching the undead roam outside.

#

Now if I could try to use my bad luck I could get another alarm going off nearby luring the massive horde from the gas station away. But the zombies will be lured back if they smell the bodies.

#

Day 3 is when he decided to watch the news since he shocked that the police haven't solved the "riots" that when he finally got that everyone he been killing wasn't just the poor but sick poor. So he feel so much better killing them because he "helping them". you know he is a nurse and killing them is a way to stop them from suffering and blah blah blah a lot of mental gymnastics. So when the police/army come in and take control of the situation he can say he was actually not killing people he thought was just poor but also not killing sick people when he a nurse but actually helping. He will now check the channel each day to try to find out when the army will come in and save the important people like him an rich asshole.

#

Day 3 at 7Pm is when the heli start flying over the area. He went outside thinking he was gonna be saved but all he gets is a message "This is a CDC announcements, Lock your doors and cover your windows and turn off all lights"(mod: CDC Rapid response 2 Air Traffic) this keeps repeating they can clearly see him waving his hands and yelling but they flew by. The slow flight over his location and loud message and his yelling as lured a massive horded that he now has to deal with. he notice one zombie is chasing a cat down the street aswell he realized he really haven't seen many pets recently and shudder at what they might have done to there pets.

#

He did follow what the heli told him to do since he thinks this will be a good indicator to the army that someone is in there aswell as maybe make it harder for the sick to find him.

#

he started hearing chewing and he peaked outside that where he saw a horde eating a bodie right outside his door. one noticed him and started to walk to his door. If only he listen to message and stay away from the doors and windows. He wouldn't be running for his life in the woods again.

#

even in the woods he won't be safe no where is safe. He starting to think no one is going to save him. how can the army keep this under control if the sick is even roaming in the woods. there so much ground they would have to cover to make sure not even one make it out.

From hero to zero!

sudden vault Feb 23, 2026, 6:43 PM

#

in Riverside there still police siren and screaming going on there still people alive clearly. yet each day it becoming more and more quiet. It was only 3 days ago that he thought it was just riots that why he was staying at his manor. waiting for it to calm down. He didn't leave like the over and of course they didn't tell him what actually going they were all snobs who thought they were better than each other. So when the police that was guarding the rich and elite fled and the community started getting overwhelmed is when he started realizing it not just an normal riot.

same it also really good for making stories

As my guy watch the news, I'm gonna go set down what I'm planning on doing with this guy/world. Riverside is often where I start and I'm bored with this town. BUT I also love the start and not skipping a month ahead, and you guys might be thinking why would any of that matter? I'm playing with project season. so after like 30 days the places I haven't seen will get start to decay. SO I want the feeling of truly walking from day one to months in after the end of the world. Where you see house slowly degrading and windows smashed, weeds growing in cracks inside houses, and etc. But it also wouldn't feel right spawning in rosewood or mauldraugh or any other location since those places I feel I would be driving threw a lot so I want the area to look really close to each other, and not just one town set to day 1 of the end of the world. But that also mean my guy will have to live riverside after 30 ingame days which is a lot of time to past. So I need a reason why he would leave his hometown/base. So recently a new mod came out called siege night that I plan on using as a reason for him to leave since I can act like a horde attack out of the blue. But this isn't suppose to be a siege playthrough another thing I never tested this mod so I have no clue how bad this could be. Also I have one other mod that lures zombies to dead bodies so I have no clue how the siege night would work and how it could be worst since the bodies would keep bring more and more. But yeah that where I'm at I overall don't know what I have plan for him just yet but I think he might try to make a cure or something or maybe he will just drink himself to death.

#

This is the worst run I ever had there has been about 5 house alrarm in this small area. due to this there gonna be a large mega horde. but the rest of the area will be more "safe"

#

this is the 6th house alram....

#

he found a lovely little house that has a gym in there basement

#

Pete is very tired each day is a struggle, He not use to such a thing. He always had people do everything for him he had enough money to do that. But money doesn't matter anymore and the horde is always hungry.

#

Even when he struggling. for some reason happy he enjoys this, He doesn't need to worry about what the family wants him to do to keep the wealth, he enjoy thinking that each person he kills is his father the one that told him to go to medical school to do just something with his life. His father was a politician who ran the town called Brandenburg a few miles away from riverside. His image was hit pretty badly after the tornado that hit the town. His poor management/funding that went "missing". Made the public watch Pete father and his family like a hawk. Pete who never really did anything with his life and was more of a deadbeat who did nothing but party and got caught with weed and his father had to bail him out wasn't helping the image of his family. So his father gave him a choice to go college for anything he wasn't really picky he just wanted him to do something with his life. But Pete took as bad as possible, His father wasn't the best he was always out and was caught cheating when he was young splitting the family all over the Knox county. He Still never forgive his father for that.

sudden vault Feb 26, 2026, 3:43 AM

#

on day 4 Pete is so happy he finally have a car. missing a window and may not be the best but it something that can and will make his life so much easier.

#

The first runner he saw was at the school it was a old man. Pete found him bashing his head onto the wall outside. As pete got near it quickly turn around and started running he wasn't acting like the normal undead this one was more aggressive Even jumping over an fence it ran right through it tripping over and it attempts to grab Pete even on the floor.

sudden vault Feb 26, 2026, 4:18 AM

#

Pete woke up at 3am hearing another heli fly by speaking stating the same thing like last time. Pete is starting to think that help isn't coming. They must have to see the hordes roaming around hiding won't do anything. Pete Checks the news just to see that they having issue even out of the knox event. Seem like higher army is tighten there grasp around everyone even to the point that new is starting to be censor.

sudden vault Feb 28, 2026, 4:05 AM

#

Pete is working on making the school a safe location, there were notes about evac but they were suppose to go to rosewood, muldraugh and westpoint. and there were notes saying people were fleeing to riverside hoping it was safer. This would explain why there a lot in the woods. People were running to different town hoping it was different even by foot. and making it to the other town they are so exhausted and they couldn't fight

#

The only downside is that there so many windows that he need to board up and his flimsy axe already broke

sudden vault Mar 3, 2026, 6:35 PM

#

Day 7-8 he notice the tv having issue so he kept changing the channel randomly switching he landed on GBC. Just to see thru static one of the tv tech standing there sitting behind a window showing new york in smoke as he talks about how it in different states and even made it over to Europe. Pete Fully understand that he won't be save now. the tech pulled out a gun looking at it a bit of blood dripping from his arm. He has been bittenm You know what he planning on doing. He looks up saying his goodbye to his father. The channel went black. But hours later it flickers back on showing the boy standing the gun on the floor a making a small growling noise as he starts bashing his head against the window.

#

Pete main goal right now is gain weight at the moment but all the houses he been to has been picked clean of canned food. must have been when everyone trying to flee they took what they know won't rot.

sudden vault Mar 3, 2026, 7:41 PM

#

Pete is starting to realize how hard it is to board up the school. It seems like every day more and more are appearing at his door steps and the smelling is getting sicken. He worried that it the reason so many are coming. but the only gas station in town is overran and almost out of fuel

sudden vault Mar 4, 2026, 4:42 AM

#

The final broadcast happen at 12am on 21th, almost 12 days since he fled his home. it was a poor woman trapped in the Triple-N new station. it kept repeating over and over for a few hours until it finally went down. Afterward it was quiet. Pete may have never liked the lower class. But weath stop mattering after the first day he fled his home. He felt the struggle of homelessness when he had to sleep outside on the dirt scared that one of them would find him digging in the trash for any scrap he can get. He survived with little to no food for days hoping that the house he found was safe. He truly understood how they were just people who were just getting by and how lucky he was to never needed to worry about it until now. He found a bottle of booze and he decided that this was the moment for it. He toasted the end of the world. as he drank he heard an chopper. As he looks outside it wasn't one of the CDC heli or even army, it was a slick black chopper that flew to the rich part of town following the trail of bodies Pete left. Pete quickly hid because he doesn't know who they are or what intention he had he was already shot at once a couple days ago so he hid. It kept flying over and over Pete over heard someone yelling at the chopper to pick them up but it didn't it shined a light at him and then flew away. leaving him to fight a massive horde that was lured. a couple of hours went by until it flew away. He did notice that it came from Brandenburg but didn't fly back to it.

#

and if things couldn't get any worse a massive storm is coming. Last time one of these hit the power went out in town. If this is as bad as the last one he was in. This could be it for the power, He has no way to keep it even on if he tried

sudden vault Mar 4, 2026, 5:13 AM

#

Pete went back to where it all started he trying to see if one of the neighbor still have there genny.

sudden vault Mar 4, 2026, 6:13 AM

#

Found one

sudden vault Mar 4, 2026, 8:00 PM

#

day 16 Pete trying to learn how to hook up a genny as he was working around the block the lights flicker, then turn off. but around 7pm The town lights came back on. But for how long?

sudden vault Mar 4, 2026, 10:38 PM

#

Day 19 the Power is getting more and more unstable. Pete is spending more time in darkness then light. He check almost every house expect 3 house at the gated community so he went there to see if he can get another generator. The first house he checked had one. still doesn't mean much he does know how to use one but he slowly learning.

sudden vault Mar 4, 2026, 11:49 PM

#

Day 21 The power seems to be out for good. Pete Just in time found out how to hook up the generator to the old school power box. giving power to most of the
school.

#

the new issue is gas, the gas station only has one pump that has fuel and gods know how long that will last

#

Pete is slowly trashing the whole school He never realize how much trash can makes until people stop keeping it clean

sudden vault Mar 5, 2026, 12:37 AM

#

Day 21 10am: The horde, Pete notice it a massive horde they are slowly but surely killing anything in it path on the left side of riverside. Any bandit, survivor are teared apart in seconds and what worst it slowly growing. It near the gas station and each time he get gas it gets a bit closer. Only one block away from his base. He needs to be ready if it decides to siege his home, He needs a get away if things gets bad. He haven't left riverside since all of this happen he doesn't know if any other towns are like. they could be worst, But at this point who know how long he has left in this town.

#

Day 22 groups of bandits are attempting to take over the gas station Power of the town turn back on lights around town exploded due to power surge. the horde move over toward the gas station killing them quickly. massive amount of gun fire lured more in created a larger group

#

Larger groups are seen around the school, Pete has to keep going out to clear them, Runners are more commonly seen and are more aggressive than ever

sudden vault Mar 5, 2026, 2:49 AM

#

The cafeteria was breached during the attacke, the door barely hanging on he quickly boarded it up. He might have to fully board up the whole cafeteria if things get worst

#

The rotting corpses all over the school yard is luring more and more creating a endless cycle. it no longer an if that horde makes it to the school it more of a when?

#

Day 23 things are just getting worst Pete is in a full on shoot out with two bandits the sounds are going to lure many to his base

#

Pete took aim and shot both of them the first two uninfected he killed. He can't mourn or feel guilty since a distant scream show the horde getting near pete decided to give him more time by quickly running to a police blockage and turning on the siren luring them to a different district. but this will only give him a few more days most likely

sudden vault Mar 5, 2026, 3:42 AM

#

Pete found a station where people are reporting around knox county. He haven't heard a friendly voice for so long.

#

of course this is where the horde is, the poor guy problem took a turn right into the horde

sudden vault Mar 6, 2026, 8:03 PM

#

day 24-25 Pete started to build up more defense inside the school since more and more zombies are starting to surround the fences in the backyard. Pete also took a oven from a neighboring house to place in his room. But each die his home feel less and less welcoming. Pete slowly been boarding up more and more rooms that the undead could have a chance in getting in. The lunch room is his next goal there way to many windows to try to just board them up. He gonna just board the doors to slow them down, Once Pete felt the school was massive but each day it feels like it shrinking. The wall that felt like safety now feels like a tomb that slowly closing around him.

sudden vault Mar 7, 2026, 7:47 PM

#

Day 26 the back yard is starting to look hostile decided to take the second genny in just incase things degrade even more

#

#

#

Breaking in the gas station is notice how bad the state of other towns are and shocked that his is just slighty trash. He starting to think this was a mistake on ever leaving.

sudden vault Mar 9, 2026, 5:04 AM

#

as day 44 comes to the end, Pete sits down looking into small forest that hide far reaching fields. He just in shocked on how much the world decayed. As he looks at the field that all started to rot. So much food went to waste. Pete is also starting to waste away from how much weight he been losing. He was already planning on setting up a chicken coop. But maybe he should expanded the idea

sudden vault Mar 9, 2026, 4:53 PM

#

the update has made this playthrough unplayable... for now

#

Pete will live on.

sudden vault Mar 11, 2026, 3:06 AM

#

I had to remove a couple of mods but that fine

#

so let get back down on the story of pete. Pete survived for 45 days exactly now and on the 46 day his goals are chickens.

#

but he doesn't have anything to move the little guys but he does remember seeing an animal trailer in riverside and guess what it right beside the infested school he fled from

#

he been killing bandits and got a decent amount of ammo maybe it time to get some pay back?

#

The school is still overran, but Pete is way stronger. Pete is attempting to get access to the school once again because it still has some good things

#

The hallways are still swarming with the undead

#

An single shot was all it took to anger the whole horde

sudden vault Mar 11, 2026, 3:53 AM

#

pete was able to shoot the runners kill them. After all that he was able to lure a decent amount away from the school but the school itself is still crawling with them. He just gonna take this as a small victory and just grab the animal trailer and leave. one day he will get back in it just not gonna be today

sudden vault Mar 12, 2026, 2:43 AM

#

day 47 got chickens

sudden vault Mar 18, 2026, 6:51 PM

#

most mods are updated i can keep going

sudden vault Mar 18, 2026, 7:27 PM

#

day 50 Pete started clearing the pin a bit more for the chicken. he then decided to go fishing but didn't have a fishing rod he tried his best to make a fishing rod with a stick, some twine, and a nail it could work be better but it will have to do.

#

sudden vault Mar 20, 2026, 6:50 PM

#

The first meal Real meal he had for days

sudden vault Mar 21, 2026, 8:16 PM

#

day 54-58 Pete can't shake the urge to go back to the school. He decided to go back not even stepping in foot of the town he can tell he was near the town from the smell of decay of the rotting bodies he left. Pete drove to the gate community where he cleared a few undead he can't but notice his old home. Door busted open an zombies standing in his hallway window smashed in and etc. A place where the most crazy thing that happen was getting high at one of his party. he decided to move on and clear out a neighbor house to stay in. where he will stay for the coming days while clearing the school and the area around.

sudden vault Mar 21, 2026, 8:35 PM

#

He started digging around notice a flier, more memories floods in. The Brenford manor Was a place he used to visit a lot mainly due to his father who was close friends with the Brenford Family. Pete father always chuckled by himself when they tell the tell of Kevin and how he went missing. Pete felt like he knew where he went, He also think the family knew he had a hand in it, they always act kind and welcoming to him even though there eyes are filled with fear. Maybe one day he will check on them, they were pretty far from the start of this plague they might have had a better chance of living.

sudden vault Mar 21, 2026, 9:09 PM

#

The lunch room where he boarded up since it was overran before the rest is sadly the safety for him to get back in, the kitchen is his goal but he pushed a table in the way at the start and it would make to much noise trying to move it. he has to take the longer way but he can hear so many still inside

#

He is hearing static he did leave a radio upstair on it was more to lure them away which it seems that it did it job since the first floor is mostly empty

#

But of course the one area he needs to be at is surrounded. Which is sadly not a shock since this is where he fled from

sudden vault Mar 21, 2026, 9:29 PM

#

Pete just look at the sad decay that the building has went through. It sad how a place Pete felt slightly safe has now became of the most dangerous place in riverside that keeps killing more and more people because he looted most of the town. Pete knows that most of the loot of the whole town is in this building.

#

going upstairs to get to the otherside he see the half ass wall he made, a giant hole in the wall shows how poorly that went

#

Sneaking into the courtyard, Pete see the broken fence where they all poored in.

#

as he slowly clearly the courtyard he hear two guys yelling an cursing him, they wearing mask, an full on black robe and holding katanas and started to run at him. pete had to quickly shoot them. but of course that sound is going to bring attention

#

It seems pete isn't welcomed back not even from the living

#

Pete found a man in a black hazmat suit, they had a vial. with a note "caution multiple use will lead to death. Cure of the knox Virus" He doesn't believe what he reading, I mean why haven't he heard about this, nothing on radio chatter about an cure being out there. Who are these people?

#

Can he even trust using it, it could just he a sick prank and just be a vial full of blench, I mean otherwise they would use it, it just doesn't make sense.

#

he doesn't have much time to think about it since another wave of infected has breached the fence. But this time Pete won't be running away. He wasted to much time already.

#

Pete is dealing with the last horde that took the school, there still some roaming around outer wall but most of the ones that ruined his home have been dealt with

#

There another one, He swears he didn't see them in the horde on that night Who are these people.

sudden vault Mar 21, 2026, 11:27 PM

#

This one had a journal and another vial. The journal says "July: 14th 1500 EDT : it's been a few days since we made it in and we already used 4 vials out "protectors" were killed last night. Calling for evac and they told us that they were busy due to a riot at the checkpoint after that they just went quiet. No response. We can't use the last vial, it's gonna kill us. We can barely move since we used the 4th one. The last guy that used 5 in such a short amount of time died slowly, his lungs filled with blood. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS "CURE" ? It's so barely tested that I feel like we are the test subjects and not the poor inmates from the local prisons. before that was overrun. We are near the riverside but we are so out of the time we weren’t meant to be there that it is not funny. Our truck died a day after we came in from Brandenburg. The people were starting to feel the effect of the virus in that town and they were already getting aggressive before they started getting sick. The damn mayor who HAD a chance to leave a few days before we blocked all roads stayed, He felt like his image would be ruined if he left the people like how he did during the tornado. Now he is at the checkpoint with a crowd of his political friends. Demanding to be let through. He even demanded to speak with McGrew saying he knows him from the old days. The higher up told him that they can’t and you had a chance before everyone else. Due to knowing McGrew. The sergeant on post gave him a gun and a single bullet telling him that the best he can do now. The way he stormed off makes me feel like he is not gonna take the easy way out.

#

July 15th: “The new Mission evacuation” The city is a warzone from the chatter we heard that a large horde of infected tore a hole in the checkpoint wall. We were lucky to even get one of the evac crew to respond to us. Every squad in here is calling for evac. They don’t want to be left in this hell. The evac crew told us that we needed to get to the riverside to get saved. After that all evac flight crew will be halted. We barely have enough ration to try to get to any other evac site. So we are now trying to make a two day trip to half of a day. We have to drop everything but the last vial we have to get there.

#

July 16th: It's spreading in the air, Everyone is showing signs of it but us. Our last tank is running low. We drop the spares to make it to the riverside. We made it to the evac site and another crew made it as well, as we sat at that damn junkyard. Some damn junkie saw us. Clearly having withdrawals pointed a gun at the crew who just arrived. Damned to have whatever they had on them. They told her that they don’t have anything but they give her a way out. She wasn’t hearing anything said that “they” left her to die. That she was done with people lying. She shot the guy right into the head. Her yelling brought them to the junk yard, we jumped the fence but she wasn’t as lucky. Her screams god I can still hear them. It didn’t even matter if the chopper didn’t come. Chatter from the radio stating that it is in Ohio, and a few other states around Knox. They said our “service and sacrifice won’t be forgotten” basically telling us that we are left to fend for our own. God we’re going to die, we are going to get killed by the infected or the terrified people in Riverside. People are already trying to leave the town they saw on the news. They think they can get out now, even though the plague is now out there.

July 20th: We got it, we were sick, we weren't even touched by one of those things. We barely got by from the house we looted, Dave was shot in the leg by a local he begged for mercy and the local just looked at him and told him that WE were the reason his granddaughter is dead. I barely made it away. A quick glimpse I saw him putting the gun at his own head. It was just me and the other guy from the crew who refused to give me his name told me it doesn’t matter anymore. Which I guess is true about it. We are hiding in a house near the school. There was a guy we were watching who was staying there. It seems like he made himself a good place. He was boarding up the windows and killing the infected around the school. Radio chatter from survivors around here is stating there is a large horde near the gas station that is slowly making its way through the whole town. He is the only one I think would be able to withstand that horde. But I don’t know anymore my head is getting foggy, I’m so tired. I’m gonna just lay down for a bit. (editor note: why do I make myself do shit like this)

He knew who was at that checkpoint, His father was still alive or at least was at that time. He wonders where he went but at the moment he had more important things on the table. The food at the kitchen that what he came for.

The drive home was a calm one, he went into a house that he looted before to fill up a bottle of water. that when he noticed how much time truly passed. he see a razor laying on the sink so he decided to shave. after a few minutes he looks just like the day he left his house.

"Day 60 it been 2 months, Two Hellish months. I thought I would never be back in my old neighborhood. but Fallas lake has nothing left to loot. The gated community still has stuff to eat/loot. But being here.. it just doesn't feel right anymore. The school is not safe and so damaged that I don't think i could fix it. I might fix up my actually home that I used to live in."

"Its day 61 and I'm walking down my neighborhood. I can't help but remember what happen. the first day I broke into my neighbor house. So drunk and high from the party I had that I didn't notice they changed. I killed an officer, stole his gun. shot my the husband that ran at me. I panic and just the gun an horde notice and swarmed the area broke into every window and was breaking the door down. so I ran into the garage where I found the wife eating an dead officer. I bashed her head in and I notice they had a bike. So I stole it. the door behind me busted open from the horde so I ride into the town. that where I saw even more. I was so out of it that I thought they were just protestor from the poorer district of the town. I was so shallow that I killed a couple people thinking they were just homeless, I did it since I thought they were going to kill me but I felt nothing because I knew I could pay to get out of it. but now I wish I have just one person to talk to."
