Now inside of the building I took a moment to survey my surroundings.

It was some sort of apartment building with a small lobby and a long hallway connecting to it.

I heard no zombies in the area, and no more moaning from outside the door.

I think that I was able to distance myself far enough away from the crowd.

I pull up my stats.

All my debuffs are still the same...

I think I should look for some food and water. My throat is parched and my body feels weak.

I stumbled towards the vending machine, looking forwards to finally having some food.

It took about 3 minutes to find it since the layout for the hotel was kind of unusual.

The vending machine was filled about halfway with various chips and other snacks.

I broke the glass and grabbed a Gatorade.

However after I touched it I felt the urge to use observation.

*observation*

Gatorade (restores 2 CON) 5 min cool down.

What...

I quickly observe the rest of the drinks and snacks in the machines finding 3 more things.

Doritos (restores 3 CON) 6 min cool down. Powdered Donuts (restores .5 CON per donut) 1 min cool down. Funions (restores 3 CON) 6 min cool down.

I sat down at one of the lobby tables and tested out the food, eating the bag of Doritos and immediately eating a powdered doughnut afterwards only restored 3.25 CON.

Which meant that all the food shared the same cool down and it gave me half the healing if I ignored the cool down.

I waited for 7 minutes as the two cooldowns expired before I drank the Gatorade and ate another donut. This time it restores 2.5 CON. There are two separate cool downs and no reduction in effectiveness yet.

I waited 1 more min before I ate 2 more donuts bringing my CON back to max.

After healing up to full, I take some time to try and process my new situation.

sure I have food now but what about a couple days from now.

The event doesn't have any sort of time limit that I can see. Any the monsters are not going down at all.

Furthermore I don't think I will be able to live like this for any extended period of time.

The safe zone had already done damage to my mental and physical state, now that I am in the zombies territory who knows what will happen?

I go to look through the rest of the rooms in the building one by one, finding about 3 more of the system touched Doritos, 2 more system touched Gatorades and 1 more pack of system donuts.

I decided to abbreviate the titles of these to S Foods. Because in a way they do feel super. The improvement to CON in my body is already scabbing the bloody areas on my body.

The stats still feel foreign by They seem to be just a little bit more familiar after I had entered the event.

Is it due to potential?

I push the question to the back of my mind and focus on finding a way out of this mess.

Luckily I haven't found any zombies in the building. So I make my way to the rooftop in hopes of scouting out a path to another supply depot.
