2 Guys, 1 Bike, 1 Secret Camp

Starring PhantoM and @Jimbo - also starring @Moony

Two nights ago, I went on Day Z to continue where I left off, with an AKM in the middle of Cherno. Ozz decided he was too tired to play, but I felt I may as well go HAM with my AK for a bit, given I was already on. I run into a Makarov beaner pretty quickly; he does the Q and E dance, but before he can even finish it I've domed him with my AK, prompting plenty of zombies to chase me. After clearing them out in a nearby field, I loop around the construction yard to the coast, passing a small alley.

That alley ahead of me had this little beauty on its side, in plain site. I hopped on and drove into this garden away from the road to see if it worked... and it did! Not a great deal of fuel and not in the greatest state, but I found my first usable vehicle!

I drove it around the roads a little bit, pretty much terrified I was a moving target, given the fucked up wheels weren't giving me a whole lot of speed (I later noticed disembarking the bike and getting back on straight after seemed to fix the wheel problem, as I got way more speed... but that was a while after first discovering it).

With the idea that I needed to find a new wheel, I headed to the docks just south of Cherno, on the standalone pier of sorts. Zombies spawned pretty unkindly to me, and I made a bit of a ruckus clearing them out with my PDW and AKM.

It wasn't long before someone found me. I saw him sneaking up pretty clearly, but made it look like I hadn't seen him, as I still fighting zombies and there was a chance he was a friendly, given he was a sloth on the coast. More and more zombies kept coming, and this little fucker managed to prone around the corner and slot me in the legs. I ducked and weaved a bit, rocking that S2 strafe to take him down with my PDW, but he killed me. Unsure if he died.

Luckily I got a nearby spawn in Prigorodky, and legged it back to the docks. No sight of my body or his, but the bike was still there. Strange... I saw another guy on the docks, seemingly oblivious to the bike, or possibly checking very carefully around the area. Either way, I Solid Snaked that shit and quad-tapped him in the back of the head with my Makarov. After refilling the bike with the nearby tank, I was away again.

The bike was far quicker now, and I headed towards Elektro. Some zombies started running behind me and then another survivor was alongside me, shooting near me. It was strange, his aim was either shocking or he was trying to kill the zombies chasing me, hoping for a ride. Either way, he didn't kill me or them. But, during my looks behind me and around me, disaster struck...

I got caught on this fucking wheel, with the zombies around me. I disembarked quickly, killed the idiot near me and mopped up the zombies. I couldn't get the bike unstuck, and so turned to Steam chat to get Jimbo the fuck on Skype. He turned up after about 10 minutes, during which time I had killed another nearby survivor coming near me (he hadn't seen the bike, presumably, but I wasn't taking any chances). This one Makarov had netted me 3 kills in a very short period of time.

In typical Jimbo fashion, get gets the bike free in about 10 seconds, whereas I failed in about 10 minutes. We started riding off into the sunset. He got off nearby, hoping to get another wheel as we thought I had fucked it again with my little crash (though, as mentioned before, it seemed getting back on it up the road fixed it). During Jimbo's expedition I went around all of Mogilevka and through the forests and nearby towns, with a few people spotting me the way. I met Jimbo nearby in a barn once I had found us an Enfield each, and we headed west to drive past Moony who was in Balota.

After doing a few laps of Balota and seeing Moony, we probably drew a little too much attention for him and headed north, with Jimbo navigating from the back for me with the plan of doing a daring rush through the Airfield, all for bant of course. His map skills are shocking apparently, and we ended up in Kamenka. We went as far west as possible:

Part 2 due soon.

Part 2:

So at basically the south-western most point of the map, we head north along fairly unstable, sometimes texture-less terrain, figuring it's a fairly decent method of navigation. I had once been on the western limits before, with Johnny and Ozz on one of the first ever days, as we made our first journey to the then fabled NW airfield.

You can see on the left that there's a kind of border where the map ends, to an extent. You can cross it, but I didn't dare go too far over in case you could fall through the floor.

After a substantial amount of time, our lowly bike gradually made it to basically as far north-west as you can. It was a fairly arduous journey as this thing is NOT easy to control; Jimbo entrusted me partly because he didn't trust himself, but I got ourselves them i none piece, just about.

So yeah, where now? The trees were sparse along the way, but once we started heading east just a little, we saw the densest forest in the entire map. It was fucking absurd, unfortunately I forgot to screenshot it; I was too busy shitting myself at the prospect of driving down this massive hill and entering what can only be described as a slalom. About halfway down, I of course went straight into a tree, and fucked up the front tyre for probably the 3rd or 4th time so far, lol.

We eventually got out of this forest and into a clearing, with Jimbo kept getting me to stop, convinced he'd seen something. Eventually he did.

"Is that a tent?" he asked. I wasn't sure, it kinda looked like it. We got closer.

Holy fuck there were 4 tents. We were excited now. This had to be someone's secret base. Why else would you hide 4 tent in this god-forsaken corner of the map? We looked inside... "oh my god there's a DMR! And an LMG!"

These tents were laden with rare gear; 2 DMRs, 3 LMGs, AKS, an anti-material .50 cal sniper, shit loads of ammo and loads of tents. Jimbo even got a ghillie suit out of it.

Pose for the camera

Here's a shot of one of the tents; keep in mind there were 4. Once we were done, we had to decide what now? Do we wait for them to return? That was Jimbo's thought, but I decided it would take way too long. What could be a troll thing to do was our next thought. We both agreed to leave everything they had on the floor that we couldn't carry, so that when they returned, they'd get the shock of their lives. Though we were kind enough to leave them an empty jerry can, two Enfields and a Makarov mag. We're not heartless monsters, after all.

Jimbo even placed a few of their surplus tents around, so they'd know something was up when they got there :lol:

The entire time I could hear water, and it was moving occasionally. Jimbo heard nothing (but I have Astros which help) and it was making me paranoid. Eventually I saw a body come through the fucking floor, which I domed immediately. I don't recall getting a kill for it, and it was probably a glitch, but it was weird. My guess is that it was someone in debug or something... phasing through a point of the map where no-one is likely to ever be.

So yeah, we rode off once again, far better kitted out, though both still with patrol packs and Makarovs :lol: We had to go to a nearby city to kit out, given we had one bottle of water between us, and that wasn't gonna be enough the next time we logged in. We're now saved not too far from the airfield, with our faithful bike hopefully still hidden in a nearby forest next to us. The plan is to test out these badboys on the airfield, a risky game for sure, but when you're this close, why not?

FIN.

[Blt 1]

Good read, and love the added pics.

Lucky shit finding a bike, and that camp was pure chance. Maybe doing that more often might bring you across other ones?

[arch3r (DayZ) 17]

[Remix (DayZ) 14]

Worst place for their secret camp with their tents! Great story!

[BuzzBurridge 43]

Best story I've read here so far. +1 Internet for pictures.

There's not a chance that you got chased by two people and had to abandon your bike last night is there? It sounds likely it could have been you as they had the exact same bike and one of them had a ghillie suit on.

THIEF!

Haha nope, that wasn't us. Our friend has a server now and we play on that... abandoned this bike a long time ago.

Cheers for the feedback btw, guys. I wrote this and Jimbo posted it. I posted it here the other day in a separate thread as I hadn't realised he had already posted it, haha.
