Day two of Zombie Life, Michael Deering's July 2015 Minecraft Hardcore Challenge. The rules haven't changed: eat only zombie flesh, kill villagers, craft only wooden things, and break nothing but dirt, gravel, sand and coal ore, with the village to fix up in the end. Basket is still in a team of three with Scoti_Garbidis and pulse2010, all of them alive after the first night.
A picture for the album
The morning starts in the village with a small panic. "We forgot to take screenshots." pulse2010 is out by the well, Scoti_Garbidis earns Benchmarking in chat, and the three of them gather outside the library with wooden swords in hand. "All right, then Basket jump in the middle." The picture gets taken, and the team heads out.
Coal only
The next stop is a cave near the village. "All we need is coal, though, that's all we can get, right?" The stone walls are no help. "We can't dig around, so it has to be exposed to the cave. This stone stuff is just too hard." Zombies wait in the dark water below, and somebody has already eaten through their supply. "I just ate all my zombie flesh."
Lightning in the rain
Back on the surface a thunderstorm rolls in, and the zombies come out in it. Basket has rotten flesh in hand in the rain while Scoti_Garbidis walks across the grass ahead, and a bolt comes down close enough to set the grass on fire. "Whoa, that is the closest lightning strike I've ever seen in Minecraft." A creeper wanders across the field soon after. In the village, Scoti_Garbidis earns Time to Strike and then Monster Hunter, pulse2010 is back among the houses, and a fresh hole opens in the ground beside one of them. "You blew this house up!"
Slabs before dusk
With wood to spare, Basket crafts more acacia slabs, and the hotbar fills up with them. "It's almost dusk. Just so you know." The sun sets over the savanna, and the team goes looking for another cave.
The zombie in gold
The one they find drops into a big cave of water and lava. "I'm trying to light up this cave over our head like a smart zombie." A zombie in a gold helmet and chestplate turns up on a dirt ledge, and Basket goes after it near the lava. "Careful, don't knock him off of there." It goes down, but there's no prize. "I don't think he dropped anything." Basket eats a piece of rotten flesh, and the inventory screen shows the Hunger effect.
Food runs short
The cave keeps going, and so do the fights. "I'm surrounded." Someone is down to "two and a half hearts," and flesh gets shared around. "I have three zombie flesh, do you need some, Basket?" Basket's hearts stay full the whole time. Scoti_Garbidis waits in the torchlight while Basket holds up a piece of rotten flesh. "I need their flesh. Lots of food."
The episode ends with the team still underground, Basket holding a torch by a fall of lava. No death lines show up in chat. The credits follow, with no gameplay after them.
