Don't shoot loud guns in cherno.

[macscottie 70]

My new friend decided to get Day Z, which is always cool, but I was on the NW airfield when he first started. Well since we're friends, I ran ALL the way to Cherno to meet up with him.

While I was moving through Cherno, I saw very very few zombies, so I figured we would be okay to shoot. We meet up in the middle of Cherno and I give him a gun, and we loot some of the cafes since Cherno seems to be mostly abandoned. While were looting, another friend joined up with us.

The friend had a FN FAL, and I had an M14 Aimpoint. Two very loud guns.

He shot a survivor that was being eaten by Zeds to put him out of his misery and we decided to move away. No significant Z reaction despite the fact that we both shot our loud guns. As we move away, we hear makarov fire from behind us. "Do we want to kill him? All he has is a makarov..." I say. "When in Cherno..." he says. So we move around and get on the capitol building rooftop.

We spot him after a minute. He's in another cafe across the street from us. We watch him and kill him as he exits the cafe. I fire 3 shots from my M14 and my friend fires 2-3 from his FAL while the "new guy" watches our backs.

That's when the shitstorm starts. Every. Single. Fucking. Zombie in Chernarus hears the shots. In no time flat our building is completely surrounded. They're pissed, and they're hungry. We decide to try to hide on the rooftop and hope they'll go away. 2min pass... 5 min... 10 min... They haven't left. We scout around the rooftop to try and think about our options. I see an opening to get off. All the Zs are on the other side of the building and the ladder on our side is mostly clear. We go for it.

We don't even make it halfway down the ladder and those fucking Zs go "We may be dead, but we're not stupid." and swarm us. Me and the other veteran survivor make it off the roof and make a mad dash for it, taking about half the horde with us. New guy thinks he's going to get eaten, so he crawls back up the roof.

We run for about 2-3 minutes with ~20 zeds on our heels, and we manage to lose them in an industrial complex. The vet wants to go loot the fire station, but I want to save my friend. I make my way back to the capitol building and fire off 5-6 shots at the horde still surrounding it. I kill 4-5 Zs and I think I attracted them all, so I take off and run back through the industrial complex and manage to lose the Zeds chasing me.

Unfortunately, I didn't get them all, but my friend decides to make a break for it off the roof, and of course instantly gets his leg broken. I try to make my way back to him to save him, but he bleeds out from being eaten before I can even make it halfway back:
