Go towards the smoke, dude.

Become suddenly confused as to why the light came after the sound, when light is much, much faster than sound.

What was it like in Indianapolis? Did undamaged generators still work, while they had fuel? What about battery-powered radios? Any idea if the military has set up camps or anything?

I dunno, never really thought of that. Maybe they were two separate instances?Indiana was like any other city Ive been through in the past six years. Save for the fact that there were no people. Come to think of it, I haven't seen many people at all. Definitely not a military presence. As for generators with fuel, no. Its as the properties of wires, and the transfer of energy in electrical appliances have changed. I once tried to get a solar-powered flashlight to work, but to no avail.

While sitting, and listening to the various voices in my head, I hear movement to the North of me. I can guess that it is a few meters ahead. I stand up to get a better look, but see nothing in my immediate vision. I am hesitant to take a look.

Scuff your feet on the carpet and grab the doorknob. Electricity is back! You've saved teh world!

OH SHIT I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT
NEW MISSION: FIND HOUSE

After waiting for 3 minutes I decide to just go on and investigate the sound despite the voices' silence. I take out the dull knife from the mult-tool, and hold it up in case anything happens. Not that it would help me. I just need something to make me feel a LITTLE bit safe. I slowly make my way towards the area I heard the noise. Then the sound of a gunshot, the thud of a corpse falling to the road. I drop onto all fours, and crawl under the nearest car. I can hear voices, and they aren't in my head.

"I heard it drop. Good shot Charlie!"
"What did I even kill? A fucking dog?"
"No, no, it has antlers. A baby deer. In other words, you might as well have shot a dog for all the good it will do us!"

It sounds like a father and two boys, maybe brothers? In any case they don't sound malevolent. I take a chance and reveal myself, crawling out from under the car. They immediately spot me.
"Hey! You there!" Says the oldest sounding voice. I put my hands be hind my head and say
"I don't have a gun! I'm just on my way up the highway!"
"Put yer hands down, we ain't bandits!"
I do so, and slowly stand up, hands in the air showing them my only weapon.
I ask: "Are you from the forest? I was going to investigate what I thought looked like smoke until I heard the noise of that animal you shot."
"Smoke you say? Yeah, that's us. We're camped out a mile in, we just came out here hunting. What're you on the highway for anyways?"
"I'm going to Canada."
A sound of confusion went into the man's voice.
"Canada? Why'n the hell would you want to go there?"
"I have my reasons! I'll be on my way now... good day to you!"

Head north and west, the prairies are probably your best bet,major fucking farming communitys and a good majority of which could easily become self sufficent. Also our stuff is built to take the cold even without power...mostly.
Also question if there is anything happing in the north that you should be aware of.

>>464558
...what are your reasons? And don't do any horrifyingly cliche bullshit oh-so-mysterious act, we're your headvoices. Cold is hard to deal with, you should be heading for somewhere nice and consistently warm, like southern coastline.

And don't waste this opportunity to ask your fellow survivors if they know anything about what happened or the state of the region/country/continent/world at large.

Because I've never been. I dunno, really. I might as well go to places that I've never been now that there's nothing stopping me. I honestly don't know why I didn't decide to go sooner. The last six years have been me taking a tour of Eastern America. I've been all up through New England, just places that I've never been. New York had the most people out and about than the rest of the major cities I've been to. Even though a majority of them were ass-holes. If honk that's just because of the survival crisis that's been going on for the last six years. It really does change people. The movies pretty much represented this perfectly.

I be been walking now for a day, using up one food ration and two bottles of water. I'm doing good managing my resources, one meal and two bottles of water for every 24 hours. I could probably do the same system for 48, but I'm not in that much need to try it. There have been enough sources of food for me to stick wih the system I have going on now. Since walking, I've found enough half-drank bottles of water in cars to fill up my four bottles to capacity. I suppose I should set up camp soon. So, what should I do? Keep walking or set up camp in one of these fine vehicles?
