Journey to the End of the Night Chicago by Ninja
April 22nd, 2008 3:58 PM
First time I've ever done something like this, and it was a blast! (Too bad my Ninja shirt didn't work....) My quote of the night: They're like a super-speed enhanced zombie hoard! I just moved to the city two weeks prior to the event, so, for the most part, I had no idea where I was going. I didn't let that stop me from jumping fences, stomping past muddy rail yards, and exploring lower Wacker, though.
The game started to get interesting for me just before the third checkpoint. Our scout went atop Wacker, the rest of our group went down to the lower part, like lambs to slaughter, little did we know. We got about halfway down before we realized the reds were everywhere. >.< We tried leaving, but were confronted by the Red-clad girl on the bike, luckily, we saw her before she saw us, and we ducked into the safety of an inlet doorway. The two of us must have sat there, crouched silently for as much as ten minutes, praying she wouldnt come our direction, before our friends gave us a hand signal that she had left. Our friends joked that it looked like she was reading the bible, and she'd never leave. ;) <br> But lower Waker was only the first WarZone we encountered. It brought our group of seven down to two. We got through checkpoint 4 without much trouble, and quickly went from sneaking though back alleys to strolling like a happy couple down the streets. (hey, it worked. =p) We joined with another group at the 4th checkpoint, and were enroute to the 5th when disaster struck. We were bombarded by a red who managed to break us apart, and we retreated into a parking garage. Turns out they had it surrounded. :( When I couldn't go back, I waited for the others to get chased away by a red, waited until they were far enough away, then bolted up the ramp, thinking I was successful in my evasion...only to nearly run into three more. Doubling back, I ran back into the garage and bolted p the stairs, but by that time, my origional persuer was hot on my trail.

It took us a while after escaping the parking lot to realize that we'd lost you. Good attempt to loose your chasers... sorry it didn't work!
