The Dayz Journey

The Phenix

"We've been walking along this damn road for nearly hours and not single sign in sight, Zach! Where the hell are we?"

"Calm down, Ray, there's a building up ahead, maybe we can get some food and a map."

"But we just ate you fatass! Plus you got all that gear on! I'm freezing man, and I just got a shirt on. Can't you give me your sweater at least? Or chop down some tree's for a fire?"

"Do it yourself man! Here just take my axe and meet me at that yellow house."

"Thanks man, sorry for being a dick but it's cold as hell."

Zach starts jogging a bit faster towards the few buildings up ahead as I go to the nearest tree line. I just need a small fire, so I look around trying to find the smallest tree. I then see one and begin chopping away at its base. After a few minutes of chopping and exhausting my energy, I settle for the 3 pieces of lumber. This should be enough, and then proceed to the house.as I head to the house I hear a loud pop occur three times followed by the sound of impact shots comming from the house.

"Fuck"

I drop the lumber and get my axe out as I run towards the small yellow house where the noise came from. Yet before I get to the building, I see someone walk out with a green mountain backpack and a mosin. Instinctively, I dive behind a bush.

Who the fuck is that? Is that Zach?

Then, before I could even think of making a move, I hear another crackling noise, followed by a sharp pain in my leg. I attempt to run for the thick tree line which I just came from, but my legs are crumbling over with the first step, causing me to fall flat on my stomach.

I look down at my legs and see that I've been shot in the knee. there's blood everywhere and I'm beginning to feel my heart pound as I fear for my life.

"Whooo hoo! I got the bitch! He's not going anywhere! Fuck, but he ain't got shit. Should I just finish him off?"

I begin crawling away as my blood leaves a trail behind me.

"Haha, look at the fucker! Nah, let him live, don't you see that axe? He could've killed us if you didn't see him. So we'll just have to teach him a slow lesson about sneaking up on people. "

"Well, what do we do with him? The guy in the house didn't have anything to torture this guy with."

God dammit, they fucking killed Zach!

"Hmm, fuck it. Just handcuff him, I have some disinfectant spray in my bag just for this type of shit."

"Alright man."

The guy who shot my leg stood over me and grabbed my arms before I could move another inch to the tree line. I try to break free and hit him with my axe, but before I could inflict any damage, he hits me with his rifle butt and puts the cuffs on.

"Stay still you bitch, you really thought that would work"

"Ahhh, fuck you man, I'm not dying like this!"

I then struggle as the guy with the spray begins moving towards me. I try moving away from him but it's hard to crawl with these cuffs. I begin to panic and try to kick him away as he tries to press the spray into my mouth, but my leg is still in immense pain. Then just as before the nozzle begins to protrude my lips, a quick snap occurred. Causing the prick that shot me to fall to the ground.

"You really thought you could fucking kill me that easily?"

Alarmed, the guy with the spray spun around and took out his gun. I then kick him in the back, causing me catastrophic pain, but giving Zach enough time to aim with his bullet riddled arm. I didn't realize what happened until the man fell in front of me on his back with a hole in his face. Yet the pain fills my mind once more and makes me quickly forget about the whole situation.

"Fuck, Ray, calm down! You'll get zombies on our asses!"

He then gets morphine off the fallen bandits and stops the pain as he bandages us both up.

"Do I always have to save you?"

"Shut the hell up, I had an axe, you really thought I could take down two guys with a mosin? You had your magnum!"

He then makes a splint out of my lumber pile and puts it on my leg.

"Here you go, this should be good enough for now."

"Thanks man, but I thought they killed you, how the fuck did you survive?"

He then proceeds to help me on my feet and goes to the other guys body to get his gear back. Then takes off his blue press vest and shows me it.

"My vest is bullet proof man! They just knocked me out with the bullet impact!."

We then both began to laugh as if nothing happened like some crazy criminals while we looted the two bandits.

"Well that ended up fairly well, wouldn't you say, Zach?"

"Shut the hell up, you owe me bitch. "

"Oh come on, now we're both geared and this guy's Jacket is so warm!"

"No, I was happy without a blood stained sweater with holes."

"Oh cheer up, we'll get you another one. Hey, this guy had a map in his bag by the way. Apparently we're right outside of Cherno, we can make it there and grab some gear! "

"Sounds like a plan, let's go man, don't want to stick around for the hordes to follow."
