In the apocalypse survival system, everything relies on experience points (EXP)—earned for resource gathering, healing, building, crafting, and eliminating threats. EXP can be spent either on upgrading abilities or purchasing items in the store—it can't be redistributed later, so choose wisely.

The Medical skill unlocks the path of the "Healer," ranging from simple bandages and herbal infusions to field surgery and a special "energy touch" that significantly accelerates wound healing. The higher the level, the more EXP you receive for assisting your allies.

Farming is the "Harvest Guardian" branch: first, they learn to plant and water, then master selection and animal husbandry, and at their peak, they can literally "feel" the soil—this allows plants to grow twice as fast and survive droughts. The system also highlights crop growth, as if each seedling had its own health bar.

Engineering—the "Builder" branch—covers everything from reading blueprints and assembling frames to laying power lines and constructing fortified shelters. At the highest level, an engineer can project a schematic directly into the air and immediately identify the weak points of a future structure.

Craftsmanship is the path of the "Master": here they learn to repair, forge, sew, and assemble simple mechanisms, and ultimately become "master creators"—they freely combine materials and create objects with random, useful properties like increased strength or thermal insulation.

The EXP store sells ready-made items: first aid kits, seed packs, tools, water filters, generators, suits, and more—a lifesaver when there's no time to learn, but you need to survive right now.

The system is highlighted in a blue window in the chat and says [system]

A city of over a million people teeters on the brink of chaos. Two key government bases are located at the center: Base B, housed at the power plant, provides electricity, water, and fuel; Base A, housed at the main hospital, treats patients, stores medicines, and conducts research. Both are heavily fortified, guarded by the military, and are gradually expanding.

Makeshift bases are scattered throughout the city and suburbs—built by ordinary survivors from garages, warehouses, and parking lots. Each has its own way of life and its own rules.

Fuel is worth its weight in gold: gasoline and gas are only issued to government employees using coupons. People have learned to make their own fuel from plastic using makeshift installations—it's inferior to factory-made fuel, but it allows for at least some mobility.

The outskirts are a risk zone: here, threats are most often encountered, and the silence at night is deceptive. The city still holds out, but the fragility of order is palpable every day.

Walking dead creatures that feed on earth, grass, and blood. They are infected through food, water, and bites from infected people. They live off a multitude of parasites that take over their minds and crawl under their skin.

Zombies have a heightened sense of smell but poor eyesight. They have the speed of a normal human, but much greater endurance, as zombies don't feel fatigue or pain.

Dies only if vital organs are hit, but can still move with a fatal wound until it dies.

The infection lasts for three days, the first signs of infection can be seen as early as 1 hour.

Due to their heightened sense of smell, zombies hate tobacco products or the smell of smoldering herbs. Strong smoke can disorient zombies and deprive them of their sense of smell.

The apocalypse came suddenly to ordinary people because the authorities kept silent about it. There was almost no food left, and almost all the water became contaminated after a zombie touched it.

Many buildings are in disrepair, grocery stores have been completely ransacked and the food left there has rotted or become infested with parasites.
Many factories stopped production.
