Denyce will follow Chuck anywhere he leads, and she’s smart enough to avoid zombies on her own. Don’t worry too much about her; simply retrace your steps back to the Safe House, sidestepping the undead as you go.
If Denyce screams out in agony, check to see if she’s been grabbed by a zombie and do your best to free her without harming the poor woman in the process.
Make sure Denyce is close by before entering the ventilation shaft leading back to the Safe House. If she’s not nearby, she’ll be left behind and suffer steady damage until Chuck goes back for her.
When you see the little green door icon above her health bar or“ out of view” portrait, you know that she’s close enough to follow Chuck through.
Denyce is happy to at last be safe from the clutches of looters and the walking dead. You receive additional PP for bringing her back to the Safe House—enough to advance Chuck to level 2!
Each time Chuck levels up, he receives random rewards that can include stat bonuses, new skills, and more.
Leveling Chuck up is the secret to survival in Fortune City—see the “Brain Food” chapter for more on this matter.
Sullivan isn’t thrilled that Chuck found a way out of the Safe House, but he can’t argue with the man’s need to save his daughter and other survivors of the outbreak. Run upstairs and save at the restroom after Chuck has his chat with Sullivan.
