Story of the Cherno Safehouse

[Greasymullet 7]

After what seems like hours of walking me and a stranger finally reach the outskirts of Cherno. He says we should go left, but i want to loot the grocery store. I make 10 steps towards it when i hear a "pop pop" and see he's been killed. I panic and make a mad dash to the store. I loot the grocery store getting a flashlight, a new bag, and a Winchester, but i cant help thinking i left my friend to die.

I continue into Cherno and climb a tower. The entire time and hearing shot after shot in the distance. Not 3 seconds after hitting the top of the tower i hear footsteps behind me. I'm not sure why i did it, but i didn't shoot the stranger before me. I'm glad I didn't because he would prove to be invaluable. He say's hes meeting a friend and so we decide to travel to the hospital and wait there.

When we arrive we find another survivor who signals friendly. Quite a team we're building. Over the next 15 minutes of locking down the area and scavenging supplies, my original allies friend arrives as well as another friendly face. The 5 of us quickly become a force and start destroying zombies and looting all of Cherno. That is until 2 members of the group fall from the death ladders and night begins to fall.

The 3 of us decide we would like to leave the city before dark, but will split up and do 1 final sweep. My area is the church, i arrive grab some ammo and turn to leave when i'm forced to draw on a bandit. We kill each other, but my 2 friends retreat to safety without me.

Now in the pitch black I arrive at Cherno hungry for my old supplies. In full sprint I enter the church to find 2 bandits, they didn't see me but they saw the 20 or so zombies i brought along. While they were busy with them i unloaded all i had on the bandits. I looted their gear and headed toward a small apt nearby. I knew it would be too dark to escape Cherno alive.

I make it to the apt, clear the area, load up on supplies and just before i'm ready to log I see in chat "Please anyone in Cherno I need help!". Something in her voice seemed sincere. I drop a chem-light to mark my hideout and I set out to save this poor soul. 20 rounds later we safely make it to my base when 2 new survivors who had heard the nearby commotion arrive with some uninvited guests. We finish off the zombies and I welcome them to my supplies. We would eventually lead 3 more people back to my hideout.

It may not seem like the most interesting story on here, but having the power to help someone who is genuinely scared in the pitch black surrounded by moans is awesome. The 7 of us chatted for a little while before 2 of them set off, a couple of us logged out, and i can only hope the rest continued what i started.

Good luck to all who dare to brave Cherno in darkness.

THIS is why i love this game. i get more thrill helpin someone in the dark than hunting them, im a builder, good job man, you gave some other people a second chance and more time to play this groovy game.

I'm glad to see that there is still a few decent people out there who are brave and willing to help someone out in dire need.

Good read, great work my friend. I remember when playing the mod for the first time 3 weeks ago, people were a lot friendlier. Now a days, people tend to shoot you on sight. We've adapted to that in our group and make sure that our group stays safe.

Should you be looking for a casual crowd to join up with, toss me a PM and I will send you our details for Teamspeak. :)
