| Those are my beans! |
Had some company in DayZ last night… sort of, was on Skype with friends while playing, we all made it to the same server, but we never actually found each other on the map. But it was fun listening to a friend experience the game for the first time. I hear after I logged off, they managed to find each other on the map, just as it got dark.
Dear Zombie Apocalypse Diary…
A day in DayZ like every other day, a new beginning. I arrived somewhere on the coast, but I have no idea where, I forgot to pay attention at arrival. I ran in a random direction for a minute, and saw a lighthouse, but it was not the same lighthouse I’d seen on previous days.
Coming upon the lighthouse it was to discover something delightful! Leaning against the lighthouse, on both sides, were two old pastel green bicycles. I couldn’t resist, I sat on one, and rode it around the hill, up and down that hill for a few minutes, worked quite well. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to take it with me, and now I’m kicking myself, I should have just rode along with it, instead of leaving it on the hill. I guess I didn’t want the hassle of going back for it if I had to travel prone for any extended time. Oh who cares! I should have kept it with me as long as I possibly could. Lesson learned.
So I continued my journeys, trying to figure out where I was on the map, I had a theory I might have been near Elektrogorsk. Being very cautious with the surrounding zeds, I investigated a farmstead, and then a town, where I came across a small tent. It held my curiosity for a few minutes, there was nothing inside of it. And I couldn’t figure out if I could pick it up and add it to my own gear or not.
My memories have started to fade, but I’m pretty sure I left that town… running for my life! Some zeds chased me out of town, once upon a time I bet these town folk were friendlier. And I’ve been wondering, what happened to the women? All the infected I have come across are male. Has anyone seen an infected female?
Anyway, I was being chased, had trouble shaking one of the zeds off of my trail, thought at some point I’d lost him, I laid prone, hiding. Yet there he was again, kicking me. I quickly scrambled up, and started running again. Eventually lost him by running around large boulders on the beach, and then I was able to continue on my way. Travelled to what I was guessing was a town on the outskirts of Elektro, there was a very large warehouse, open doors at both ends, nothing in them but a pile of wood and a jerry can.
It was on the other side of that warehouse that I was detected again by a zed, at first I thought I’d escaped it’s notice, it was very strange. Because first it was far away, then it was close, then it was far away again! It was teleporting! A teleporting zombie! I stayed still, hoping it had not seen me, then it practically teleported right on top of me, it had noticed me. I ran, and ran! Up a hill, through woods, closer to what I thought was Elektro, more warehouses, factories. Running around a corner, I had finally escaped the teleporting zed, I came across large military tents. I knew it was risky, but I had to check them out. And there was loot! In the second tent I looked in, three boxes! The first I looked into had massive amounts of medical supplies.
Then, staying prone as I was concerned about attracting any outside attention, I crawled over to the second box. I was worried, I could hear a zed, but I couldn’t see where the sound was coming from, and then it got louder, and then I was being attacked, at first I couldn’t see what, I looked behind me. It was another survivor! Some freaky looking guy with a beard, and an axe, I couldn’t get up, I began to fade. And I was murdered, by an axe murderer. Bastard.

It was only mere moments after I was killed, as I was looking at the “You are Dead” screen, that complete chaos happened on the server we were on. Lists of newly killed scrolled up on the bottom left on my screen, including the name of one of my friends on Skype. And my other friend who was brand new to DayZ, was freaking out on Skype, apparently all the other players on the server appeared around him, and a massacre happened. But that’s his tale to tell.
