All you have at your disposal are the bare bones of the kitchen utensils you packed (including a few steak knives, a filet knife with a saw edge, and a mixing spoon), the various components of your car, and whatever you can build from the forest around you.
One morning, a surprise - a fellow survivor has stumbled into your camp. You ask him where he comes from, and he tells you he is from a refugee camp to the East of your location. He claims to be a scout looking for fellow survivors, and instructs you to follow him immediately. Upon closer inspection, however, you notice a bite mark and blood around his leg. His eyes are reddened, and he seems sick and generally abnormal.
Upon asking him about the wound, he becomes enraged and demands that you follow him.
What do you do/where do you go?

I agree to follow him, but the moment his back is turned I embed a steak knife in it. I make sure he's finished off (straight through the eye-socket, gotta destroy the brain) and then carefully scavenge for what possessions he may have, avoiding any body fluids. I decide to head in the direction he came from, as it's possible he was with a group of friends who saw that he had been bitten and decided to exile rather than kill him. However, I'll approach with caution- it's possible his entire group was attacked, and are all in advanced stages of transformation.
