Prologue

The first level takes place in a gas station. Go inside and reach the back of the building. Kill a zombie and take the key from the locker on the wall. Use it to open the locked door. Exit the gas station. Don't fight with other zombies, just avoid them.

Take the key from the locker. The door you went through will close. You need to use another passage.

You get separated after the cut-scene. Don't fight with the enemies. Instead, run between the vehicles. Turn into the nearest alley between the buildings on the left. You reach the police station. This is where the chapter truly begins.

The police station's hall

Approach the reception desk. Notice the two important objects:

1. Metal box - you can store your items here. Open it and move any items from your inventory. These items can be accessed from any metal box in the game. The boxes' capacity is unlimited.
2. Typewriter - these objects allow you to save your game. On assisted and standard modes, you can save whenever you want to. On hard, you will need to carry an ink ribbon which limits the number of possible saves.

The hall is a safe zone - no zombie will enter here, you are completely safe in this area (until you encounter the Tyrant - after you visit the building's undergrounds [after collecting the medallions]).
