Nichols Mall
Zombies led by the Ridleybank Resistance Front defeated survivors led by the Combat Revive Squad. All corners are ruined and occupied, as are much of the surrounds. Survivor attempts to reclaim the mall have so far borne no fruit.

Basic Info:

  • Malls are an excellent place to find a wide range of items; the only major items that cannot be found here are revivification syringes and fuel cans. As such, Malls are frequently used as safehouses and fortresses by survivors. Zombies often check inside (when they can get in), and organized zombie groups sometimes lay siege to them. They are listed as a Tactical Resource Point.

Description

The Mall, post-outbreak: a zombie mob protests against the Kilt Store's No pulse? No service! policy. The mock-medieval brickwork and domed glass roof can be seen.

Nichols Mall is a four-block shopping mall in the suburb of Stanbury Village. It was designed to match the style of nearby medieval sites such as St Ambrose's Church and Brome Library, but with an open-air design which proved a disastrous failure. The domed glass roof which was subsequently added is now in a state of considerable disrepair.

Malton's one and only Kilt Store is hidden away in the south-west corner of Nichols Mall.

History

For a detailed account of the Mall's unusual and dark history, see this page on the creation of Nichols Mall.

Nichols once supported a reasonably large number of survivors, but has been in constant flux since April 2006 as the Kilt Store's staff attempt to stave off floods of prospective shoppers from the Ridleybank Resistance Front and other zombie hordes.
