Survivor stories

Recommended Posts

You can post here your survivor stories, didn't find a topic with this theme so I made my own.

Just recently I logged off after managing to pull off -- in my opinion -- quite a survival miracle.

It began with me checking out the North West Airfield, clearing the first barracks on the eastern side before deciding to move down towards the southern barracks. However, contrary to me being often cautious and going around... I decided to go THROUGH the open airfield. This decision was mostly made because of how low the population seemed to be on the server.

However, on this Canadian server, just as I'm getting close to the barracks on the airfield, I get shot at. I take a hit or two before I manage to return fire, as the damn Canoock that was shooting at me from an unconcealed position. I take him down and that slippery weasel combat logs as he goes unconscious and just as I'm about to bandage myself, I go unconscious. I watch there helplessly as my blood drops from 5k to 1k, barely getting up in time to patch myself up and eat the last cooked meat in my backpack.

I then set off towards the forest, away from the zombies, in hunt for meat before I die. (( Not sure if I die when my blood meter is flashing, like with food or water )) Usually I have pretty good luck with findings the animals, but I couldn't find a single thing. Top it off that I was passing out every minute-or-so. I finally come across a rabbit on an open field, chasing that little b***** for a good quarter of a kilometer before I manage to shoot it with my M4 CCO SD. I cook the meat and I'm now around 1900 blood.

However, I spot a boar in the forest and I literally say: "Oh I could kiss your sweet swine ass..." before I'm interrupted by the fact that the freaking thing disappeared. I spent looking around the bushes for it, but it wasn't there and I was forced to abandon it. I manage to kill another rabbit and eat it before I've suddenly got a zombie behind me, in the middle of a forest; turns out I ran next to a deer stand. I kill the zombie with a head shot before it knocks me unconscious, again leaving me bleeding and watching as my health drops -- though at a faster rate now. I drop to 300 blood before I use my last bandage and I'm off to search for food, after an agonizing 6 or 10 minutes I finally find food. Not just one boar, but two boars!

Here's the twist: It was dark, pitch black.

From there on I've sworn to be more cautious even on low pop servers as well as sworn vengeance against any Canoock that I come across!

Hide your beans, hide your meat, Canoocks... Cause I'm coming for it.
