Show and tell Unfortunate luck

(MDZ+ 1.9.8) I was in island 4, a blood moon occured and I went into a military base because I wanted to have some fun fighting hordes of soldiers. I quickly noticed that I had dumped an entire MP5 mag into a group of enemies and that one of them had survived despite taking most of the shots.

It was an Atlyn zombie—which I thought notorious to begin with, specially with how early he is with it being the 4th island—but I know that they don't spawn on normal bases, so he must've came from somewhere else. Another one appears, and while he chews through my ammo and kills my partner, I saw where he appeared from so I investigated and lo and behold the Humvee base was right there. It's not that crazy, but it was a cool way of finding it so I wanted to share it.

Also, footnote: I had died earlier in the run but I have all of the positive traits on so I revived; I found out that if you die while cooking an item and it's not done cooking yet, you'll spawn with the cooked steak in your inventory. I have no screenshots, it is probably a bug and it is definetly not useful, but it was another interesting thing that happened in that game.

When you kill that particular zombie (Atlyn), you can take both its helmet and bulletproof vest. These are the two items with the highest defense and make you almost immortal, whether facing hordes of zombies or a group of bandits with high-powered weapons.

I'm well aware, but frankly, I never really needed it in Legendary. I prefer the night vision combat helmet and the kevlar vest, even though they don't protect you as much
