Mercy Killing

I was observing a town this afternoon, watching a supermarket closely. Concealed aprox 500m away. After about 30 minutes ... movement. A survivor was inside looting, I said in chat "you in the store, be very careful", no reply, then shots ...

It's quite amazing seeing all the walkers get aggro'd and converge on a victim. I could see through my CZ scope, he didn't have a long weapon, and was frantically moving around the store shooting, as I watched and considered opening up to support, he stopped firing ... he must have run out of ammo and the horde was in position already ripping into him with more moving in from all sides for the fresh meat ...

EXHALE ... slowly squeeze the trigger ... don't miss ...

The round hit him center mass .. pink mist ... and he went down, the horde collapsing on top of him.

No good deed goes unpunished ... as I popped back out of the sights, I saw a walker about halfway between me and the store turn in my direction and charge me (Now i've hunted for food plenty of times with a CZ, and a lot closer to walkers than I was today and never aggro'd them?), anyhoo I got back to cover and dispatched the horde with my pistol.

I'd like to think there are others out there who would also show restraint and let others go about their business and not fuck with them but who would step up when the chips are down.

In this world, mercy killing isn't worth it. I've had the temptation before. Between the hordes of zombies, lack of ammo, and loss of humanity, its a better choice to watch them go down. Turn away if you have to.

At least it shows you have a heart.

Yeah I'm not proud of it, I've never fired on any survivor at all before today. But it was such a horrifying scene I couldn't just lie there and see the poor guy ripped apart (ya ya I know it's a game).
