Even though I had been to the School, I had not really gone inside or explored all the levels. An Emission had just taken place when I traveled between Zaton and Jupiter, and I had at least half a day left of good sunlight, so I thought it was a good time to do so. A Bloodsucker was checking out the Zombies I had killed across the boulevard and earned a zapping from me. Likewise, another Chimera at the Hospital did too.

Before I could get to the School, I detected two NPCs but could not see them yet. I used the range of my Mini-Map to determine how far away they were. Retreating to the Hospital got them out of range and I turned around to see two Zombies coming from the direction I had been going. I shot them with my FT-200M, went back over and looted them and then continued on to the School. I decided to enter it at the other end from where my infrared scanner told me three Zombies inside the building were on one of the four floors. I started on the first floor and was looking for any stashes.

I ended up finding three stashes inside the building, one on the first floor, then the second and then the third. When I finally moved in on the three Zombies, I found them on the third floor and stairwell to the fourth. The fourth floor had a gate on it at the stairways and you could not get up there. When I had gone to the far end of the building by the anomaly, I was able to get a Goldfish artifact and then back where I had come from two Zombies spawn and took up the former positions. I killed them but now had more than enough loot requiring Hercules.

I was not surprised at the spawning so quickly and right in front of me, as I had remembered this happening long ago. Even later in the Game when you have Mercenaries all over Pripyat, you can literally be standing in that section of the School and have them spawn in your face. Why GSC thought this was a good location to do that is beyond me. It makes lingering in that part of the School very dangerous if you don't know better or are not expecting to have reinforcements appear so quickly.

Since I had more than a full load of loot and not wanting to meet any more Zombies, I made my way downstairs and used a window and a pile of dirt next to it, to go outside and to make haste to the south-east parallel to the main boulevard. Crossing it I spotted another Chimera at the Hospital and zapped it. Then I made my way back through the front of the small building, out its back door and to the side street I favor going to and from the Laundromat. Once back home I ended the video.
