Because of his close vicinity he learnt about the zoological park a month ago and decided to pay it a visit to determine the extent of the threat.
He reluctantly returned to the SUV he had left behind. Drake advised him that, given his talents, it would be far safer for him to proceed on foot. Vehicles tend to draw a lot of unwanted attention, and because he is travelling to a potentially hostile location, it is preferable to travel in stealth.
He got into his car and drove to the zoo's location. He hid himself inside one of the houses, which was 50 meters away from the zoo's perimeter fence.
He prepared his defenses before dispatching his drones to scout the surrounding region.
.....
The place is a complete mess; everything is shattered, and the majority of the buildings have been destroyed. All of the cages in the facility have been busted open. As far as he can tell, there are no moving or living things left on the planet.
He took a few detours along the route to get to this location. He traveled to various sites and used his drones to map the surrounding region.
He also instructed his drones and sentries to kill as many zombies as possible in order to advance to the next level. As soon as he arrives, he will only need to kill a couple more enemies to reach level 10.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to level up, and this is one of the objectives for this trip.
...
The zoo will be dark by the time he has done his reconnaissance.
He's currently employing a drone that's hovering 100 meters above the house where he lives.
He has already put up a perimeter defense with sentinels and drones to protect his property. His sniper sentry station is located on the ground floor, and his heavy machine gun station is located on the second floor. In addition, there is another immediately outside the room. The rest of the sentinels are stationed around the outside of the home, but they are still within the confines of the fence.
He has two drones inside his room and four drones beyond the four corners of the fence, which he uses to patrol the perimeter. The remainder of the group is on patrol around the block.
Since the beginning of his journey, this has been the typical setting. For him to arrive here, it took about two weeks. He stayed in a variety of locations and built up his defenses in the same manner.
.....
During his defense planning, one of the characteristics of the map he used was the ability to designate a specific area or sector.
He discovered that he may set different levels of priority for different areas of the house. He can then adjust his defensive strategies as necessary. It will automatically respond to anything that comes within a specific distance of the area that he has designated as his base of operations.
His drones are also capable of identifying the distinct traits of the zombies that he encounters. After the first time he deployed this defensive arrangement and alarm system, he was unable to get any sleep at all during the night. Because of the large number of zombies that wandered across his allotted zone, the alarm just didn't stop going off throughout the night.
His answer is to divide his defined region into three layers, starting with his designated base. The three main areas are the outer, inner, and base.
The outer area begins approximately 400 meters from the base point and extends outward until the drone's detection range is at its greatest extent (1 km). His defense will automatically track and track anything that enters that zone of protection. The system will just record the fact that an intruder has entered the system, but it will not take any action against the invader. If anything other than a human zombie enters the area, the technology is programmed to send an automatic notification to Will. Will then has the option of employing his sniper sentry or launching an attack with his drones.
In the inner region, you can find yourself 100 meters beyond the house perimeter, and you can walk right up to where the outer area ends. Anything that enters this zone will instantly trigger an alarm to the sentries, who will then launch an attack as soon as they are within range. Maximum-level sentries have a maximum firing range of 350 meters when at their highest level.
The final section is the foundation. This is the location where Will can be found. Anything that comes within 100 meters of the heavy machine gun sentry will immediately trigger the weapon. By this stage, if an ordinary zombie manages to get that far away from the big machinegun, the thunderous firepower of the heavy machinegun will almost certainly wake him up.
....
He was jolted awake in the middle of the night by an unexpected visitor.
Right now, the proximity alarm that he set up is going off in his head.
An alert from the system is currently blinking in front of him.
'Proximity Warning!' It appears that a potentially hostile creature has penetrated the authorized outer area.
He instantly pulls out his map and starts looking at it. Because it was the middle of the night, he turned on the infrared light.
He counted roughly fifty small red dots dispersed around the perimeter of the laveled zombies and one large red dot exactly on the eastern boundary of his drone's detecting range, which he attributed to the zombies. It is currently classified as unidentified.
He instantly dispatched a drone to fly 500 meters out to the east and hover 100 meters above the surface of the water.
This strategy will essentially increase his 1km detection range by another 500 meters, effectively increasing his detection range to 2km.
It simply took a few seconds for the drone to be at the proper location. He stood by and observed while the video from the drone underwent a couple of adjustments in order to provide better feed.
That's when he first came face to face with the massive mutilated zombie gorilla.
