Trapped

You're wandering about in the World Beyond World Beyond, when suddenly, you feel an eerie presence surround you. You start to pick up the pace, but out of nowhere they start to surround you. Several zombies have trapped you! You feel your throat close, but you force yourself to stop and think. The zombies don't seem to want to attack you... yet. They're just blocking your path, but by the time midnight comes they may start to get hungry. Better think fast...

Definition of Trapped

Main article: World_Beyond#Trapped

In the World Beyond World Beyond, each citizen has two Control Points, while each zombie has one. If the zombies have more total control points than the sum for the humans, the humans have lost control of the zone, and whoever is in the zone is trapped!

Don't Panic

Getting stuck in the World Beyond with zombies can seem scary, but don't panic. It's part of the game, and even the best players get stuck now and again. The most important thing to know is that you have all the time you need until 23:00, which is when The Attack The Attack occurs. Until then, you are not going to get bitten.

Options

Don't panic. Zombies won't attack until 23:00 (server time). They just prevent you from leaving. When trapped, you still have a few tricks up your sleeve.

Call For Help

Highly recommended especially if you are a newbie.

If you choose to call for help, you should open a new thread on the town forum with a title of "call for help". Please list down the following information:

• the amount of zombies
• whether you are wounded/infected
• how many AP left?
• have you eaten or drunk water today?

Let's see if someone will respond and help you take control of the zone. You will usually get a response if you are in an organized town.

If someone responds and arrives, they will provide (at least) 2 control points and perhaps bring a weapon to kill the zombies.

If nobody responds, try to bump the thread some time later. Perhaps they miss your thread.

If nobody arrives, then you will have to consider other options.

Fighting

Main article: Fighting

Each zombie killed means one less control point for them. Kill enough of them, and you'll be able to regain control of the zone.

Fighting with a weapon

Highly recommended but only available if you have a Armoury weapon.

This action costs no AP. It costs ammunition if the weapon has ammunition (can't use if it is running out). There is a risk of breaking if it is a melee weapon.

Click on the relevant "use" option to use your weapon. Different weapons have different kinds of success rates. Find the specific weapon on the wiki for details.

Fighting without a weapon (1 )

Not recommended.

If you choose to fight with your bare hands, you cost 1 per attempt with minimal success rate. There is about 4%~8% chance of killing just one zombie, but otherwise there are no other risks.

AP are usually wasted for nothing. You should call for help and ask someone to save you, especially if you are in an organized town. You should only consider it if nobody arrives and you have no weapon with you.

If successful, you will also earn the Fights_of_despair Fights of despair distinction.

Fleeing

Highly not recommended. Usually frowned upon as an unwise choice.

If you choose to flee from the zone, you do it at the cost of getting Wounded Wounded and a chance of Infected infection the next day. It is hard to cure wound because it requires a rare Bandage Bandage.

You should only choose this option in extreme situations.

Camp

Main article: Camping

If all else fails, you can also take the risk of camping (hiding yourself) in the zone for the night, hoping that you can hide yourself from the horde attacking the town, as well as the zombies that have been staring at you since your arrival. Perhaps tomorrow someone will be able to come and rescue you.

You can click on "inspect this zone" to estimate the chance of survival of camping here. Then you will be offered a number of options to improve the chance.

• Camping in a zombie-infested zone has reduced chances of survival. Each zombie makes it harder to survive without becoming dinner.
• You can choose to improve the campsite at the cost of 1 , which gives a minor boost to camping survival chances; you can (and should) also choose, preferably after some improvements, to spend 1 finding a tomb for a medium boost in surviving just this night.
• If you forgot to save 1 for the final medium boost in surviving chances, then you can simply choose to camp in this zone.
