Hunters And Stalkers

Part 4: The death toll is growing

I am starting to wonder where everyone is, I haven't heard from people or my radio, or even commanders. I'm starting to wonder if I'm alone here. [Держитесь подальше от электрических зон] They are saying, "stay away from electrical zones" I have no Idea who it was because it sounded like a real russian commander, not MilSim. I'm taking the warning with a grain of salt, but... still on my mind. Do I call out? Do I contact people on the radio? Fire straight up? So many questions. I get up a little and move around the grass, nothing. The air is really still, and the wind, if any, is hot. BOOM someone's rifle went off and that was not a blank or paint, that was real. My mind went to "starting crawling, this is real now" so I did. I'm crawling around and I'm using NVGs when necessary, There is a tree line far from here, roughly 2000-3000 feet maybe? I have no choice but to move forward and forget whatever I was "training" for. BABABABABABA, I call out on the radio for my friend, no answer. That was close, way too close. A few hours pass by and I'm a little over 2300 feet, I see someone that looks like a friendly, I call out and whatever it is, it is now running at me full speed. I shoot and hit it in the chest and it's down now. Walk up and look at it, I get a new rifle, not preferred but I can't bitch about it, looks like it shoots 545, could be 3 guns, I don't know. There is a lot going on right now, But let's go.
