7 days into the apocalypse.
I have to leave. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the city is not a safe place for surviving. Sure it got food, resources and stuff, but Newyork is one of the most densely populated place on earth. Which means, there is, well, were a lot of people here. Which means, there is a huge number of Plagued roaming around the streets.
I think I had heard one just outside the door yesterday.
So yeah, I'm leaving.
I found a bunch of maps in Jerome's closet. Probably stuff he used in his field of work. I used the GPS on my phone and cross referenced it with the map.
Currently I'm in Manhattan. And from my position, the best possible way out of the city is either take the Brooklyne bridge or the Manhattan bridge and go to Brooklyne. And from there, I can take the 278 highway and make my way out of the city.
Lincoln tunnel is another option, but I don't think the subway systems are in service anymore at this point.
I've learnt about the locations of some Quarantine zones from the news. The closest one is Atlantic city. It's a long way there by road, but I think I can make it.
I've packed up some provisions. And took a knife from Jerome's kitchen. Sorry Jerome, but I need it more than you buddy.
The pain in my leg has reduced, and i think I'm good for a walk. Tonight is the last night I spend here. Tomorrow, I'll leave for Atlantic city.
So long Newyork. It's about time I leave.
