The following that happened is a true story. It happend from between 10:30 to 11:25pm Having kept my character alive for over a week, I was feeling proud of myself. I had just found a tool box, and was using it to set up a base hidden in the woods. I had lots of gear, food, and water, and a number of zombie kills, due to my use of a hatchet for silent kills. This day, I went another sever, as my usual was full, hopping to find some more tents and fortifications for my base. Then it all went wrong. I spawned in this new server, with three other characters around me in the middle of nowhere. Confused, I loked around, and noticed a death. Beroin has died. I was confused. How was I dead? All my gear, my toolbox, the Alice backpack... all gone. I disconnected, and reconnected to my favorite, which had less people now. And I spawned on the beach. I swore up and down. Everything was gone, not a flashlight, backback, or painkillers. My hunger was low, so I knew I didn't have a lot of time. I thought it would be easier if I ran into town, and get killed by zombies, so I would have something. I ran into a larger town, thinking it was Cherno. A single zombie came after me. I ducked into a railstation, and found a shotgun and an Alice backback. I smiled. I wasn't going out easy. I ran, but no zombies came after me. I ducked into a firestation, and decided to go look online to find out where I was, because I had never been to Cherno before, when I saw the bodies at the foot of the stairwell. Running over, I saw the two bodies. I searched them, and on the first one, I found an M16. Thinking that there was a bandit above me, I went up, but found nothing. I ran out of the fire hall, with a horde of zombies behind me. Running down the street, I noticed a hospital. I decided not to go in, as I never had before and didn't get want to get trapped, so I turned the corner down an alley way. And came face to face with a bandit pointing a gun straight at me. In a panic, I let out a burst of shotgun lead, hitting him twice. With the zombies behind me, I ran past him, shooting him several more times, hopping the zombies would go for him. Then I noticed that I could loot him. He was dead, glitched standing up. I kept running, the zombies still on me, and turned another corner to find two more corpses standing up. I kept running until I got to a large building with three floors, and bolted to the second floor. The zombies began pouring in, and I shot them down one after another. But I didn't have many slugs for my M104, and I soon ran out with more zombies attracted by the noise. I ducked into a room, despretely trying to switch mode so I could fire the pellets I found earlier, but couldn't figure it out. Then in a panic, I switched it out for the M16, with only 20 bullets in it. I noticed no zombies had come in, so I left the room, and found out that most had left, but two had stayed, so I shot them, and it was all over. I was now trying to survive. I knew if I could get this gear back to base, I would be set. I searched the building, grabbing some slugs for the shotgun. I looked outside and saw a convience store, and ran over to it. Bodies littered the floor so I acted fast. I grabbed some water bottles that were full, cans of food, gear, and whatever I couldn't carry I ate for blood. I snuck out the back door and crawled to a small patch of trees. I had found a map, and I looked at where I should head to get back to base if I was in Cherno (which it turns out i wasn't). I opened the map, and as soon as it loaded, I heard gunfire. Closing the map, I tried to figure out where it was coming from. Two deaths had just been recorded, so I knew a bandit was in town. I tried to crawl to get into a better position, when more gunfire rang out, and another body fell dead. I reasoned about going in, and trying to escape. In the end, I ran. I knew that I had to get back to base to fully equiped myself and stock my base so I could go bandit hunting when I respawned. All of this within an hour.
