From Terror to Triumph.

 Inside the ruined liquor store, I finally faced my fear of Shamblers and discovered they were easier to defeat than expected. Pushing further through infected, tattoo shops, and an auto repair, I barely survived with scarce ammo. The risk paid off though, uncovering a safe with a shotgun holster.   The stairs to the basement of the liquor store were totally done, like they were not there. I fell there and understood it was not for my best. The whole place was filled with spores and I heard Shamblers making noises around.  It was like the creepiest moment and I understood there were only two Shamblers there, and nothing else. You know I've been fearing these creatures from the beginning and tried to stay away from them.   To mint the fear away, I decided to face them and see what they do to Ellie if they catch her. I went close to one and shot him with the shotgun. It was like something came out of the Shambler that was spinning Ellie's head and I was getting its feel in a way as well.  I tried to escape the creature after shooting it with couple shotgun bullets and I shot it down when it followed me to another room. Right at that moment, the other one ran to me.  I shot the other one like mostly with my handgun. And then I checked on their ugly faces from close for the first time. It looks like they have eyeballs on all over their faces and chest.   Knowing taking down Shamblers is not as difficult as I thought it is, I came out of the liquor store and found a book for upgrading bow attacks though I still don't have a bow in my gears.   I came out through another store and noticed some infected around so I was laid into the grasses to stay away from their focus and I shot one of the infected down using the silencer gun.   But there was another one who noticed me taking down the other one so I had to get up and shoot this one as well, as fast as I could. And I saw the stairs where I had to get to next.   But I decided to explore around first and for that, I went inside a tattoo shop and found the back entrance of an auto repair was stuck by a bin on the back, so I moved the bin.   I understood somethin was inside there but I was not ready to face like more than two pairs of aggressive infected at once so I decided to get away from them.   I ran as fast as I could as I was low on ammo and then I jumped up on a van to slow them down and was shooting them from there but they were climbing up as well.  I hardly got out of them alive and decided to show how Ellie looked after this run for life.   I went back to the auto repair to see what was so special about that place as it was filled with infected and I found a safe there but I didn't know the code. I found the code later but I was not going back so I tried google.   The code was 308265 and after unlocking the safe, I found a short gun holster along with some bullets. And its totally worth it. We'll check what happens next in another post. --- Image Source: In game screenshots. End of the post. Peace.
