Day 710: much closer call

Day 710: took a heck of a hit from a mess of zombies today.

I thought it was just a zombie hiding in the trees, but it turned out to be four zombies and a exploding giraffe-corgi, who promptly exploded.

That part was pretty convenient because it injured the zombies. The zombies, by the way, were all wearing armor. But not like the murderers that come around wearing matching armor — these zombies were in all kinds of armor. Leather, gold, chain mail, diamond, it was as if they’d gone through the dumpster behind some kind of zombie army navy store.

None of it was in good enough condition for me to take, and I spent most of the day making new arrows to increase my supply.

The area I’m mining right now (and generally cleaning up) is just northeast of my most northeastern point, and it’s got a lot of tall trees that really block out the sun. It’s dark in there, which I think is why it’s such a zombie pit.

I’m torn between keeping the trees (who doesn’t love trees?) and taking them down so I don’t get killed. Maybe I can thin them?

I’ll need more wood for arrows soon anyway I suppose. Especially if I don’t thin the woods.

Guess I’ve answered my question.
