It's a shame some of the zombies were able to keep their coordination after death, which is not usually the case. :[
You don't know what is inside, but I don't think there'd be too many zombies if any in the parking garage. Not only that as was said before, the maze of cars might be good for slowing the runners down. I have to say I wish I got here earlier, I don't recommend a shopping mall visit. Too many people would've gathered there and who knows what zombies are lingering. Bad place if you were to defend one with all its entrances too. Maybe alright for a quick round up of supplies if you get out as fast as you did in.
Fighting the zombies unarmed would be a horrible idea if you didn't want to be bitten by one.

We need to keep moving. While I'd prefer to try a side entrance to trip up the runners and control the direction the infected are coming from, that option may not be available.
Go straight into the lot, but scale one of the cars and us them as stepping stones.

c) I'd prefer to take the side entrance. If you lead the infected all to the front, they'll simply crash through the doors. Moving through a parking complex will give you the opportunity to disorient your pursuers and sneak inside. Then you can barricade the entrance.
C, side entrance, if the main entrance is already blocked or locked then we will only compromise the security of the whole building, also shopping centres usually have several entrances, so the likelyhood of finding one is quite high
I say option c as well and i could spend time typing it up the quote above has my reasons for my choice typed up already.RaNDM G said:
6 A, 3 C. Looks like we're taking the frontal approach. OP has been updated with a disclaimer.
Also, apologies for the cryptic description. The carpark was at ground level, not underground or a building. Just an open parking lot.

I kept running, legs burning, lungs on fire, body about to collapse. Just as I entered the carpark, I saw a reflection out of the corner of your eye, as if from a mirror. Thinking quickly, I raised my arms in the air and put them behind my head. That didn't seem like something a zombie would do.
Just like I thought, the reflection was from the morning sun hitting a rifle scope. The gunshots quickly downed the runners following me. Would have had to have been a good shot to hit them all facing into the sun. The figure on the roof gestured towards the front doors. I waved my thanks and entered the mall at a slower pace. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to have been cleared out. Although dispersed, zombies were everywhere.
Congratulations! You're inside the mall, and seem to have found someone who is at least not immediately hostile! Unfortunately, you're still unarmed and surrounded by zombies.
Choices:
Pick the order you'd like to search the following stores:
- Sporting Store: Protective equipment, bats balls and shoes.
- Grocery Store: Food and water.
- Hardware Store: Hammers, nails, crowbars, wooden boards, chainsaws...
- Gun Shop: Handguns, revolvers, bolt/lever-action-rifles, shotguns.
Hints:
- You might want some protective gear like a motorcycle helmets and stuff. Just a suggestion.
- The zombies are kind of closing in. Perhaps grab a weapon first?
- You just ate breakfast. However, since then you've rode a bike 30 min into the city center and run for a few blocks.

Sporting goods store first for the most generic weapon of all the baaseball bat.
Guns shop second for a friggin gun, followed by a trip to the grocery store then finally hardware just incase we find something useful.

If I know my zombie apocalypses right the weapon shop will already have been looted to bits. And you don't want to be trapped there empty handed. I would say go to Hardware store first, then gun shop, then groceries, and ditch the sport's shop (I suppose you mean accessories like american football padding and stuff)- it would just slow you down.
Go get yourself a friend ASAP.

Sport shop first: Baseball bat for sure, possible boots, and anything else protective that could be useful.
Grocery store second: A gun store would be great but you have a melee weapon hopefully to stave off the zombies for the moment. Plus, grabbing a gun or two and ammo can be quite the load. I would say go to the grocery store preferably, as they have carts there. I'd take my chances with melee and a cart, and we can just pile supplies in the cart. While you probably can't get the cart to the roof easily unless there is an elevator, you can always stash it somewhere nearby for certain things. Grab some nonperishable items and plenty of water.
Gun Store third: Grab a nice couple of guns. Only a few things. I would hope they would have a good handgun, G18 maybe. A shotgun would also be very nice to have. Lastly, if there is an assault rifle, take that. Grab plenty of ammo to fill the cart halfway if you can. If there are attachments like a silencer or two, sights, or lights, take 'em. Before heading to the hardware store if you can make it, make sure to load a pistol.
Hardware store last: Be sure to take some planks, nails and screws, a hammer, and an electric toolkit. Grab any plastic containers like the ones used for starting seeds before you plant them. That should be good for now I guess. It's a heavy load though. Always good to get whatever you can.
Hopefully we can make it too all the shops. If not reverse the order of the grocery and gun store.
Also, I strongly suggest NO CHAINSAWS! Bad idea, the chain will get stuck the flesh of the zombie before we even get halfway through a cut. They're badass in games, but they don't really work like that.

Sporting goods: For possible protection and weaponry. Also a back pack.
Hardware store: For a crowbar alone, excellent weapon and tool.
Grocery store: Food and water. What more is there to say?
Gun shop: If anything for long range weaponry, preferably something common like a handgun or hunting rifle.

Sports, Gun, Grocery, Hardware seems to be the closest match. I'm tweaking the layout of the mall a bit so this is convenient for the character.
Also, who likes the name Alex for the protagonist? And should they be male or female? This is (most likely) going to be purely for identification.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
I moved quickly to the sports shop near the the main entrance, avoiding zombies on the way. No runners, fortunately. I grabbed a lightweight aluminium baseball bat for a weapon, as well as a good quality hiking backpack and some camping gear, like a couple of knives and some rope. I also picked up a scuba diving mask. If these zombies were infectious, I didn't want to end up like that poor bastard in 28 Days Later.
Next stop was the gun shop, which was surrounded by zombies. I didn't fancy my chances of breaking though armed with nothing but the bat. I barely escaped with my life. That was when I really learned to watch my back.
The grocery store was next, and also choked with zombies, although they were more dispersed in the larger store. I grabbed some bottled water, as well as tinned and dried food. On an impulse, I grabbed a few bags of apples, oranges and carrots. They weighed me down a bit, but I wasn't ready to forsake fresh food entirely if this didn't just blow over.
Finally, the hardware store. There were many fewer zombies in here, and I was free to grab hammers, nails, plant seedlings, a machete and another weapon, although I couldn't carry any boards for barricades. I dropped my baseball bat- I wouldn't need it again. I considered, taking a trolley, but I decided it would impede my progress even more than the backpack, which could be dangerous.
It was time to reenact Dawn of the Dead. I headed for the roof access door.
Choices: What was your weapon from the hardware store? THIS COULD KILL YOU!
a) Crowbar
b) Axe
c) Chainsaw
d) Power Drill
f) Wooden Board
g) Shovel
Your next move will be to climb to the roof and meet up with the gunman.
Hints:
- You already have a Baseball Bat, a Survival Knife, a Pocket Knife and a Machete.
- There aren't many corpses around. Why?
- Most of the zombies you've seen appear to have the flesh ripped off part of their face, usually their cheeks.
- You're currently carrying a lot of gear. You'll tire quickly.

Damn. I am at a tough point here. While we could go Gordon Freeman on the zombies with a crowbar as well as pry things open, we could also grab the axe which would be a better weapon. But, as we already have a bat and a machete, I am going to trust that the machete will last the longest. Too bad we didn't have any katanas lying around...
Crowbar it is.
Chainsaws once against aren't realistic for mowing down zombies and laughing maniacally.
Power Drills, I am assuming that it's a handheld drill and not something I am not thinking of, don't exactly seem effective for killing things.
Wooden Boards have a second use like the crowbar but once you use that, you can't re-use it very well.
Shovels are also multipurpose. But I think prying things open might come in handy. As crowbars are also lighter, this also might be best.
There probably aren't many corpses around because they've all reanimated. If I had to guess why the flesh has been ripped off part of the the zombies' faces, it's because that is how the zombies spread the disease. Through the face. Like face herpes. I have to say thanks for grabbing that diving mask, it will be a good thing to have.

That's already too many melee weapons to begin with. Ditch the pocket knife and bat.Ninjat_126 said:
Ditch the fresh food or eat it now. It'll spoil in a few days anyway.
Also, it might help to grab a flashlight.
EDIT: On the topic of weapons, I'd have to vote for...
a) The crowbar. You're going to need to break open crates or doors eventually. Consider this your master key.
The problem now is that you already have a machete, so unless you feel like carrying two primary weapons you'll need to decide between one or the other.
