- Still Creek Map

Still Creek (Population: 753) is a small desert town located 46 miles outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. It is the setting for Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. The town falls victim to a zombie outbreak, although it is still occupied by survivors and psychopath.

Case Zero
Chuck Greene and his daughter arrive in this town after fleeing from Las Vegas due to the zombie outbreak that has claimed Mrs. Greene. They take refuge in a gas station as Chuck must go and find Zombrex to save his daughter before the military performs their clean-up operation, due to the town being within the 50 mile perimeter of Las Vegas, which the military plans on wiping out in an effort to stop any further spreading of the zombie infection. As Chuck and Katey take a brief glimpse of the area, an unknown individual hijacks their truck and drives away, just as zombies come into view. Chuck grabs his daughter and takes refuge in the station, barricading the entrance.

The town is seemingly abandoned, cars with slashed tires litter the streets and many buildings have been boarded up and rendered inaccessible. At the east end of town, where a bridge sits, a Quarantine Zone was set up earlier that day in an effort to contain the refugees from Las Vegas. Unfortunately, the quarantine effort failed. As the parasite overcame the population, the soldiers were left with no choice but to close the blockade, stranding hundreds of residents and refugees. With cars, trucks and the evacuation bus turned away, the town soon fell to the undead, leaving several small groups of survivors to fend for themselves. Chuck finds the burning blockade and abandoned military camp and finds an overturned ambulance. After searching the crashed ambulance, he learns that the military plan on arriving at 9pm to initiate another quarantine, which is bad news for him and Katey. After grabbing a vial of Zombrex, he sees a broken dirt bike and hauls it back to the station to repair. As Chuck looks for bike parts throughout town, he encounters less than a dozen survivors and does his best to save them. Later that evening, just after giving Katey her second Zombrex shot, a psychotic mechanic named Jed arrives, and, seeing that Katey is infected, attempts to kill her and add her to his "trophy" collection. Chuck manages to kill Jed, and he and Katey quickly prepare to leave the town for good.

Just as the two of them are leaving the gas station on their rebuilt bike, the military invades Still Creek and begins their clean-up operation. Chuck and Katey barely manage to escape. Eventually, they run across Chuck's stolen truck on the side of the road, the thief having died of unknown causes. Chuck grabs the extra Zombrex vials from inside, along with his jacket, Katey's backpack, and a family photo, and the two of them ride off.

The fate of the other Still Creek survivors ultimately remains unknown, though it is most likely they are taken away to safety for infection screening and treatment.

Attempting to leave Still Creek on foot without Katey results in a cutscene where Chuck admits that he can't leave her behind, and heads back.

Locations
The town, being mainly a rest stop for tourists travelling to Las Vegas, has a general tourism industry, including a casino, movie theater and hotel. Due to the outbreak, many buildings have been boarded up and cannot be entered, presumably by their owners to avoid looting or a last attempt by residents to survive. About half of the structures standing in Still Creek are still accessible, though some are occupied by the undead.
