I wanted to find out what happened to my number one Companion, the one that I've had the longest, follows behind me first in line and holds all my valuable repair items and ammo. I went back to a manual save made at the Bloodsucker Village and found he was already dead. Normally when a Companion is killed, it retains the Companion symbol dead or alive, as long as you remain in the level. Because I had left the level, despite using a manual save before I left it, the Companion symbol no longer works. I had to find out at an earlier point where and when he was killed.

At first, I was thinking did something happen earlier in the Truck Cemetery? It seems like I had 21 on arrival in the Army Warehouses, so that means it happened in level. As I went up the hill from where I had killed the three Zombies in the Bloodsucker Village, I found Mikha Worm's body at the top of the hill, apparently killed by the Zombie pistol fire and I didn't even notice since their fire seemed so ineffective on me before I quickly downed them. Now this is very important to understand the importance of your Companions and the stuff they carry. Compare when I found his body and how the inventory of the dead is significantly reduced from what they carry alive. No one has looted him as they would have taken all of it.

You can see that alive Mikha Worm carried a couple of PKMs, 3-4 repair kits each for weapon and armor repair, gauss gun ammo and many other items. When killed he retains only one PKM, one armor and one weapon repair kit. The gauss gun ammo has vanished along with other greater quantities of ammo. I don't know why the Game is made this way but it is. Now you know why I can accept the loss of one of the many random Companions I have but not my main Companion. The save at the Farmhouse was used, where all were alive and we continued on the same path, facing the same Zombies but with more care at my end. We left the Army Warehouses and arrived in Dead City and were soon at the Mercenary Base.
