I killed my friend.

[Legiito 23]

I killed my friend. I killed my friend. I killed my friend... Those are the words that

keep coming into my mind.

As I woke up on the Eastcoast of Electro, with dozens of zombies in

my sight. I headed into the mountains on my way to go to Cherno to meet up with some friends that

were waiting for me there. I headed around Electro and I saw the North East Station house. So I

decided I needed to gear up first. As I go inside, I keep hearing gunshots but I do not know

from where. So I continue to check the entire building and luckily I found an M9 with 2

magazines at the very top.

Next thing I had to do was check from the grocery store. My Oh my, I could tell you

there was a lot of zombies around it. So I had to sneak in through the back. As I entered the

store from the back, I heard more gunshots, and this time, It came from inside the grocery

store. At this point I am panicking because there is someone in the store with me shooting. I

did not know what to do, So I decided it's either to be outside with dozens of flesh eating

zombies, or another human being. I cautiously peek to the front of the store to see what is going

on, and there he was, looting for supplies.

I saw he was very well geared with a Czech backpack, a Lee Enfield, and an M1911. I come out silently and he

raises his weapon and points it to me. At this point, my heart stoppped.

I whisper

'' Hey I'm friendly''.

He then lowered his gun, and continued to scavenge for

supplies. I go over to him and try to communicate with him.

After we exchange names, I tell him I am heading towards Cherno to meet up with my friends.

''I have a friend there who I am going to meet up with there too''.

''We should travel together to Cherno'', I tell him.

''Fine by me, 2 heads are better than one'', He said.

'' But please do not shoot your weapon while we are in the city, because it will attract

zombies'', He said.

We then go loot the apartments which are infront of the grocery store, I find a M1911 in the

upstairs room, and a few other supplies. Next thing we go loot is ''The Office'', which I find a Lee

Enfield inside, but it only had one magazine. I would have assumed that he would start to be

alittle bit more worried having me around, but he seemed to have trust in me.

As we started heading out of the office, it seemed like out of nowhere a zombie rushed me,and

knocked me onto the ground. As it was going to start to eat me alive. I was sure that was it

for me. As I saw my life flashing before my eyes, I heard a gunshot. It was ''Guismo'' who had

shot the zombie in the head. He had saved my life.

Then I noticed he had shot his M1911, and I saw there were a number of zombies running our

way. As we both did not know what to do, we ran in different ways as we panicked. Not knowing how

many zombies were coming our way.

I then ran towards a hill, and I saw in the distance a barn. Not having much choices, I ran to the

barn. I went up the stairs and started shooting my weapons at the flesh eating creatures. It seemed

like there was endless waves of them. Eventually they stopped coming but also I was running low

on ammo. They finally stopped, it felt like hours and hours of shooting and dozens of bodies

stacking up. I went back into Electro to try to find ''Guismo'' but he was long gone. So I had

no other choice to head to Cherno.

I was about halfway towards Cherno and I saw a small town called ''Prigorodky''. The place was

swarmed with zombies. Alittle bit seperated from the town, I saw yet another barn.

Something came to my mind though. I realised I only had a handfull of ammo left. So there was

no choice but to go to the barn and check if there is anything usefull there.

For the first time, I found a very powerful gun. I believe it was called the CZ 550, and it

looked like some kind of hunting rifle. It was the only weapon that had ammo so I would have to take

it. I then keep heading towards my friend in Cherno.

As I am finally arriving to Cherno and out of nowhere, I heard someone calling my name. It was

my friend who saw me from a hill. Now we can finally head up north towards our group.My friend

had to clear out a few zombies on the way, he had a silenced Bizon so we were very stealthy.

About halfway towards Stary Sobor, my friends asks ''Did you hear that''?

''What?''

''I just heard someone shooting'' he said.

We start to be alittle bit more cautious and then all of a sudden my friend gasps.

''What?'' I say.

''There are 2 people on the road running our direction!'' he exclaims''.

''Shoot them! I have no ammo'' he said.

I did not feel comfortable killing another being, but then he said

'' It's either them or us''.

That really got me thinking. My friend has no ammo and if they got to us, they would probably

kill us. So I raised me CZ 550 and shot.

It had be the loudest sound I had ever heard. The first shot hit the guy in the shoulder and he

fell to the ground. I then shot at his buddy to his left and I missed. He went prone and was looking

in my direction. I stared right into his eyes. ''Boom''...

'' Great shot!'' He said, '' You got him right in the head''

After we go and check the bodies. The second person looked familiar. Those clothes, That gear.

''No It can't be!'' I said.

When I turned him around, I couldn't believe it, I froze still.

It was ''Guismo'' The same person who saved my life, and I took his... I was just in shock of the

horrible act I did.

''C'mon we have to go! Someone had to hear that shot. We're gonna get spotted''.

For the entire day, that stayed on my mind. There was no emotion at all on me.

Once we got to Stary Sobor and we were all together. My friend asks...

'' What was wrong with you today''

I looked at his face and I said

''I killed my friend...''.

I am truly sorry ''Guismo'' and ''S bastion'' from US 52.

That's nothing. Tonight I was with a mate, I had a Saw and we heard a Landy coming down the road so I started ripping it up, Unfortunatly he moved for a better shot and got his head taken off :(

Didn't even get the car :(

It didn't take very long for me to kill my friend, but that was because it was late and he was running around like a headless (coughing) chicken so he ran into my bullet.

sad story....

[jthewonder 28]

Well written story that i enjoyed reading :)

I once killed my friend aswell but not so much by accident. We were raiding the airstrip north of berezino when we got absolutely swamped by zeds, seeing how they looked to have aggro on my mate and not me and also knowing that we wouldn't survive i made a quick decision that one life is better than none. I then shot him in the leg and started running away as fast as i could, with the zeds focusing on eating him.

Didn't work though, being new at the time i had no idea where to run to and ended up running straight into more zeds.

He yelled my ears off on skype during this and promised me payback, but feeling like Shane(TWD) for a couple of seconds made it all worth it B)

When playing on my first dayz server, I met a really cool dude by the name of dude. He set me up. He showed me around elektro, took me around town to get my weapons and basically gave me a friendly, nooby boost. Well, the next day we log on and he says hes in trouble so we meet at the light house in Golavo so i can give him a transfusion. After I patch him up he looks at me with his Lee enfield and I unload an m1911 clilp in his face. After the incident i realize he was truly just looking at me but i didn't take any chances. I even had an adrenaline rush.

Dude i felt terrible because we were buddies for like 3 days. Im sorry it didn't work out, you were truly a cool dude.

Sympathy beans for you. I can't imagine that happening to me. I was pretty shaken after killing my first survivor, period. Killing someone you owe your life to, even if in a game, must suck so much.
