It all starts here in DayZ … on a beach. I’m confused and the sun is blinding me. I look around to see where I am … what day is it … but I only have a lot of confusion in my head. I hear a far scream my blood runs cold in my veins. I have to go away quickly from this beach because it’s too exposed and the zombies are all over. The adrenaline rush reminded me where I am and my military background leads me to seek a safe hiding place to the Drobyy’s Hill forest north of my position.
Move! I said in my mind and immediately my muscles contract.
Low profile! Low profile! The gun in my right hand, ready to fire, crouched and proceed up the hill.
I have to cross the wide road that left leads to Elektrozavodsk. It is not an action I take lightly and be sure not to be seen by anyone … nor from infected and even less from bandits.
To my right I do not see any movement and on my left, not so far, I notice a series of figures in motion. I’m pretty far away and probably anyone and anything do not notice me. I counted in my mind to three and I move to the hill. Is a four-lane road and got halfway I realize that if I can get across without being noticed is a miracle … I do not stop and continued to peer at my sides.
Suddenly a screams coming from my left freezed me. A lot of movement near a low building. “I’ve been discovered!” was my first thought and I’m preparing to take to the trees on the hill but a second, more thoughtful look, show me a chilling scene. A man is trying to escape from a horde of infected and almost upon him. In the frenzy of the flight I can count five, and the poor man desperately tries to avoid them running. He goes to another building, but just before entering he slips and the horde was upon him.
Move it! Said me a trembling voice in my mind. And it do not need to tell me twice. A few steps away and I start to climb the hill, protected by vegetation.
I’m safe?
