Chapter Eight

Players had started to pour into the compound like crazy, and the game’s notifications were struggling to keep up with all the deaths that were piling up.

I wasn’t keeping my eye on that though, no, I was far more focused on making sure no one went into any of the buildings while at the same time not actually getting any kills or making myself visible.

It’s more difficult than it sounds.

GeriatricSuperHero (Community): I’ve got two coming my way.

Zoey (Community): Got em.

There was a second of delay as I lined up the shot, but I managed to shoot the shotgun-wielding of the two guys clean through his leg, causing him to topple over, the sound of the Humvee’s massive machinegun making my DMR almost silent in comparison.

After a few seconds, the mate of the freshly incapacitated shotgun guy realised that his team member wasn’t with him, and doubled back in an effort to save himself from the unseen shooter that was me.

I went to take the second shot, but Miles beat me to the punch, squeezing off a round that I could only just hear as it was fired, and left me to watch the would-be hero catch a bullet in the chest and go down.

For a moment I was confused as to why Miles hadn’t gotten the kill, but then I realised it right as he sent out the message.

Stone_Eagle307 (Community): Blood loss. What’s the situation with those dinos?

GeriatricSuperHero (Community): They’re hanging around the walls. I think the gunfire’s spooking them.

Zoey (Community): How long til they brave it?

GeriatricSuperHero (Community): Couldn’t tell you. I’ll give them a few more seconds then see if I can put someone down near the gate. The meat should be enough to draw them in.

The anxiety that we’d be stuck with a bunch of raptors and a rex following the already dicey situation that was the gunfight below was almost palpable, but I was still somewhat confident that we were actually going to hold up against whatever was thrown our way.

Zoey (Community): How are you holding up Paul? Still hunkered down under that desk?

U_Maad (Community): Fuck yeah Im still under the table! Wher the fuck am O sposed to go!>

I have to admit, the grammatical errors in Paul’s post kinda made me smile. He was completely safe, we were making sure of that, but the fact that he was over there panicking his little head off was… I don’t know, I suppose you could say it was kind of cute.

Anyway, for some reason that was enough to bring my attention to the fact that Chad had been mostly silent throughout our conversation, and I started to wonder if he was okay.

Zoey (Community): You out there Chad?

There was a long wait, enough to have three more people die anyway, before Chad even noticed that I’d sent him the message.

Gable_1337 (Community): I’m good. Ended up having to go into the bunker with the builders.

GeriatricSuperHero (Community): Suuuuuuure, has nothing to with the fact that you’re a little pussy.
