Traveling through a nearby city park, you notice the usually busy outdoor gathering place is empty. With most of the town transformed by the mutagen, it seems whoever was once here is long gone. Fold up tables and chairs thrown every which way litter the large park. Investigating further, you can see and smell the familiar scent of sex everywhere. Within the last 24 hours this place was crawling with mutants rampaging the park, its visitors, and other mutants.
If there is one good thing about the park’s current state, it’s that there is a ton of free bagged food and drinks. Although it is very easy to pick out which is contaminated by nearby soiled torn clothing, selecting uncontaminated food is that much harder. Perhaps you should leave them alone, but then again you had to leave in such a hurry that you are becoming dizzy and weak. You won’t be able to fight off or outrun a mutant if you don’t get some food and water into your system.
For drinks you gather some sealed water bottles. By picking them you are sure nothing has gotten into the bottle. The only danger from them is if the mutagens are on the outside of the bottle themselves. You hope for your sake they aren’t.
Food on the other hand is very difficult. You look high and low for bagged chips or something sealed, but with no luck. You are stuck looking for opened food. Yes, some are easy to spot, partly eaten, soggy, and those receiving special salty sauce, all of them you don’t even inspect. Knowing you need to keep moving and that you are out in the open within the park, you need to pick something and move on. Your stomach growls pressing home that not eating is not an option.
