Days Gone: Story 2

So I was headed to a spot down south to look for an NPC named Lisa, who is a child in the game that you save from living on her own. She had been living on her own for years since the zombo apoc hit (or, "Freaker apocalypse" I guess) and basically she's been passed from camp to camp, and currently she was at some dude's camp called Iron Bull's camp or something like that. Anyway, I guess she ran off during a scavenging mission (she's been through hell basically already and probably mentally broken... some pretty bad stuff happened to her, which was her own fault basically).

Anyway, so I get to this town (named Rogue Camp) where there are six freaker nests (basically they "build" spots in buildings to keep them warm or something I guess, but they're blocked off with twigs, mud, and literally their own fecal matter, spit, etc). Now, six is a lot of nests, which means the town is literally infested with freakers, namely the basic ones, but they're still dangerous as fuck. So I entered the town (again after dying once due to staying in a building and trying to shoot them coming out of the nest and then getting mobbed), cleared out a couple and then tried to move to a different part of town for a different nest. Note that the quest to find Lisa was here, I just wasn't pursuing it at the moment, in favor of clearing nests.

So basically I hopped a white picket fence and headed down a hill toward the third nest I was gonna hit. I went into the house, threw a molotov (basically the only way to burn them out as far as I'm aware) and booked it straight out da house, back up the hill to the white picket fence and hopped it. And immediately I hear an unusual amount of screams and growls. Like, a ton more, while I'm booking it. So I hop the fence and turn around and there are at least a hundred freakers in a horde about to swarm the house. And being the idiot I am, I'm sitting there with my mouth open in shock like "holy shit I just avoided that".

Well, I forgot to crouch.

So immediately, one or two of the Freakers sees me and screeches, and immediately screeches, alerting the rest of the horde. They all turn toward me.

I fucking BOOK IT back to my bike, and accidentally go the wrong way (wanted to go back to Iron Bull's camp and went the wrong way, and I turn my camera and look and they're just flowing over the fence towards me.

I book it back to the nearby encampment and go to sleep. I figure it'll be safer there during the day... (Freakers aren't as active in the world during the day, but you have to fight more Freakers if you burn a nest during the day. At night you fight about 3, during the day you fight about double that, 6 to 7.)

Welp. I'll go back soon to wreck dem son'a'bitches.
