Small story

[GodOfGrain 191]

Logging in on my favourite server (bmrf.me, whitelisted, expert, no third person.) (74.91.123.48:2303)

7 players online

Shooting myself through Krastnostav to find some painkillers, bad luck.

Still shaking. Besides that, geared up to max: Holo-M16, M107, 3* night vision (lol), GPS, camo...

But no painkillers.

Approached the NE airfield ... zombie contact ... soon I see a survivor running into the firestation

(some buildings added on this server). Didn't get a good angle for a clean shot, decided to

get closer to drop him in CQ. I made my way to the hangers, getting closer to the tower,

my weapon ready. Try to keep my pulse low.

Then i read in chat: "Hello at NE, I am friendly"

- i run to the next trees and type "OK, friendly as well at NE".

I thought: If I can't approach this guy without getting discovered, I might aswell

give up on that...

I run to a good position 200 metres east of the tower to have a good view.

I ask if we shall meet; he says yes, he would be unarmed.

All i see though through my scope is a guy in camo running through the airfield

- with an automatic weapon. Oo Unarmed?

He runs into the firestation, about 10 zombies chasing him.

"Help", he screams, "I am down"

- yes of course, I am that stupid

"I'm up again, but they broke my legs"

You'd believe that? I didn't. Imagined a guy with his AK ready, sitting and waiting.

Once i see someone standing on the rooftop a couple of minutes later, i pull the trigger.

Missed the shot, he runs. But someone keeps shooting... there is someone else.

Since I gave away my position I relocated, running all around the airfield.

Took position again west of the airfield, good view.

I see some zombies 500 m away attacking a bush.

I asked this guy ("friendly"), "hey, are you sitting in a bush? zombies?"

- "Yes, that's me, i cant get away"

Took the zombies out with my M107, relocating immediately a couple of hundret metres.

Then I understood the situation a bit better...

There were two other guys in the tower now, and our "friendly guy" in the bush.

Those two guys have killed the one standing on the firestation, cause he opened fire.

All of us communicated over side, thought about how to clean the air...

how to get help to Mr. Friendly with the broken leg - without getting shot.

I offered the guys in the tower a trade, a NVG vs some painkillers and a coke.

On my terms of course, to lower my risk.

They seemed nice, and probably they would have agreed.

But hey, it is difficult to organize a "safe" trade if your on your own...

So I said to myself, what the heck...

"Allright, I am coming to the tower. Friendly approaching from the west,

please have weapons lowered"

As I am close to the tower a guy comes out, flashlight in hand.

All cool, but then a shot from somewhere, probably far away (sniper hill).

I run back, asking in direct what the hell is going on.

I quickly decide that it is not one of them, as they would have had better chances

to kill me, and run inside. Immediatly getting bandaged by one of the guys.

We say hello, everything seems cool, although the situation is still quite tense

with the sniper overlooking the area.

Another shot. "Mr. Friendly" died, the guy with the broken leg.

He had managed to crawl into the tower, was on the upper floor.

The sniper got him.

Well, we talked for a while, discovered that all of us are German.

(That's always quite easy because of our accent ;) )

I always have some smokes in my backpack, so finally we get out safe.

In Krastnotav we logout. Perhaps we'll meet again sometime.

6 out of 7 player have been at the NE airfield. 4 of them have been friendly.

You Sir, have my beans.

I thank to you for an awesome story was this.

Coastal towns have a lot more bandits than the airfield, unfortunately there is always the patient sniper waiting to scratch another notch in his stock up there on most servers. One of my more recent visits i was bandaging a guy in between the hangars who was bleeding and knocked out by zeds when another guy, possibly his mate came around the corner and sawed me too death. I find sitting in an obscure spot and waiting for the snipers to reveal themselves by taking out other players who have run all the way up to be most rewarding.
