Zombie Hunting Report - That's a tower
They locked us. We could not run away. The district swirled all over the zombies. There was a way left for us. Up! There was a giant radio tower in the street. It is enclosed by a two-storey, massive fence. It did not work, but with a control panel we opened the electric doors, which allowed us to run for help and then return to the radio tower where the helicopter could pick us up. But for the key to the tower gate we had to go deep! To the bottom of a cellar.
