Just another night on the coast...

[dricht1 28]

All I wanted was to find a mag for my FNX45. Just one, so I could have it loaded while I used the flashlight on it.

I'm used to military areas, but haven't had any luck at those at all, so I wanted to try something else. Elektro seemed reasonable, given that there was only one person on the server at the time, and I hadn't seen a single soul in well over a week of playing. So off I went, in the dead of night.

I get to the first fire station without incident, and loot the first floor before approaching the stairs... where the single other person on the server charges out of the darkness and whacks me with a fire axe. Ouch, what the hell! But then again, that IS why I keep my revolver out while looting, even on low pop servers...

After bandaging him up, taking away his axe and handcuffing him (I have no idea if he was still alive, I don't usually shoot people) I left to check out the second fire station, thoroughly rattled. On my way there the unconscious guy logs out. I notice another person has logged in, but what are the chances that this stranger will be anywhere near me in such a huge map?
 

I get my answer halfway down the bottom steps after finishing up with the second fire station, where I see him milling about the shelves. I'm jumpy after my first run-in, and fire a few shots in his general direction to scare him off, which works well - I couldn't see if he was armed, but didn't want to take the chance. After several tense minutes of waiting where I hope he can't get a shot at me from outside, I see that he's logged out.

Phew. Enough excitement for one sitting. I log out and eat a couple tacos.

But... I still don't have my mag, so I fire DayZ back up after dinner and join another random one-person server. I'm still in the fire station, in a corner on one of the higher floors, so I start heading down... and see a flashlight. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

I slowly, caaautiously creep down the steps, where I can see that the flashlight is coming from just on the other side of the near wall, in the main part of the building. It isn't moving, though - odd. I peek around the corner... and see some guy in a gas mask standing there apparently AFK or glitched, flashlight out, bleeding, with a zombie just chilling right behind him, apparently not interested in any brains he may have left. What the hell. I shoot him in the head (mercy killing?) and book it out of there, FNX magazine be damned.

 

Screw this, I'm heading back to the NWAF where it's safe!
