Johannes (coughing): Guys, you gotta get something to soak up the blood and apply pressure. You guys even know how to do first aid?
Saad looked at everyone else.
Saad: Can anyone get something to stop the bleeding?
Abiral took off his sweater and gave it to Saad. Johannes took out his butcher knife and dropped it on the ground.
Johannes (Weakly): Here...take this...to make a gauze.
Saad and Mark cut up the sweater under Johannes’ instructions and applied pressure on the gunshot wound, which miraculously stopped the bleeding and put him upright on a wall. Johannes removed his pack, grabbed a coke can and opened it. It made a “Phsst” sound and Johannes drank the entire can in less than a minute. He made a loud burp before he started.
Johannes: Well I feel better. If it works in PUBG, then I guess it would work in real life. Maybe the sniper wouldn’t have shot me if I had a Pepsi. Anyway, we gotta take out that sniper or else we’re gonna get 360 no-scoped before we can get to the choppa. Anyone wanna volunteer to be the lucky gentlemen to get the Victory Royale?
The gang of survivors looked at each other. Neither of them had any experience with guns. Mark quickly raised up his hands.
Mark (Determined): I’ll do it.
Johannes: Alright, Marky Boy. Take my rifle.
Johannes unholstered his M4 Carbine and gave it to Mark. Mark held the Carbine and fiddled around with it.
Mark (Confused): So... How does this work?
Johannes: You played Call of Duty? You should know. By the way, the safety is near the right side of the trigger.
Mark was going to take care of the sniper until he realized that he didn’t have a plan of attack. Mark: So, what’s the plan of attack Joe? I mean we can’t just take out a sniper just by shooting him from the same window.
Johannes: I know, Mark. That’s why I have devised a plan. Hopefully, most of you will survive. Taranbir: What do you mean by “hopefully most of us will survive”?
Johannes shrugged.
Johannes: I don’t know. I mean there’s always a possibility that one of us may die.
Manpreet: Cut the crap already and tell us the plan.
Johannes sighed.
Johannes: Alright, here’s the plan. The first part is for Mark and Manpreet to go to the
third floor of the school in order to find the sniper, while Saad and Hashim are collecting blood into plastic bags. The second part is for the rest of us left here to attach my helmet with aflex tape to my shovel, and use it as a decoy in order to lure the sniper. In the helmet, there will be plastic bags filled with blood in order to make it look like the sniper blew my brains out when he shoots the helmet. Finally, Mark and Manpreet should be able to locate the sniper from its gun’s muzzle flash and shoot him. We’re gonna communicate through Discord.
Everyone nodded at Johannes. Johannes: Then, let’s snipe the sniper.
