'Hmm... Nice tree.' William muttered as he walked by few trees. All of them alive.

*Kyu?* Dem points to left, as William looks there. Spotting a small village, with people. And someone already looking at him, warily.

'Good point Dem...' 'Oi! Got any info dealers here? Got shit-ton to sell!' After muttering to Dem who I coated already in thin veil of mana to make her invisible, I shouted to the guy... he was holding an MP5?

He only looked to side, as he got a small nod from what William spotted. 'Behind village, bunker. Keep your weapon to yourself.' He only shouted as William nodded, keeping Black Kite hidden.

Slowly walking, William felt many eyes. At least three pairs from each building. Walking past first bunker, he continued... feeling light disturbance in front of him... He felt anticipation from others?

Calmly stepping into the disturbed mana, he simply dispersed it around. Feeling the shock in everyone's eyes.

Walking over to the bunker behind the village, he looked toward a man staying by it. Who held his hand out. 'Gun.' The man simply spoke. As William gave it to him. 

Stepping down, he walked few stairs. And meeting a dirty bunker door, William releases a sigh and simply opens it and walks through. Finding an obese man, who's balding for quite some time.

'Welcome, name is Sidorovich. My fellow stalkers told me you were seeking an info dealer... What is it you need?' The man spoke to William as he looked behind... seeing a small black lump of mana?

' I've got some info from the nearby military post. ' William spoke calmly and reached down to his shadow as Sidorovich observed calmly and keenly. As the stacks of papers and some metal boxes. Sidorovich face was filled with interest as William placed them on the mini-table which was connecting their rooms. ' Check, give me a price. ' William spoke calmly as Sidorovich looked through every single document....

In meanwhile, William calmly pet Dem with a mana-made hand as she calmly observed. Dem lightly pat his head, and pointed at the strange black lump of mana in the back.

' By the way, what's that thing? ' Will pointed towards a metal box in which the black lump was.

' Just a Compass artifact. Not for sale. '

...

' This is a mix of low to high classified documents... Even after you opened the boxes with brute strength... So, I'd give you about... 30 thousand Rubles. Deal? ' Sidorovich calmly offered to the unknown stalker. 'Oh, and also. You seem to be bleeding from nose.'

William only reached for his nose, as it was actually bleeding? 'Hard cash.' He spoke to Sidorovich who only went to back.

..

' What? Why am I bleeding suddenly? ' As William thought to himself, he scanned every single bit of his body. Suddenly finding multiple damaged parts....

' Strange... it's as if it was completely destroyed on one side and then damaged on the other. Its... also burned inside? ' Continuing to check. He only looked as it started regenerating through Queresha's regeneration.

As Sidorovich arrived, he placed the cash along with a syringe? ' Looking at your gear. You have no radiation protection... I don't give freebies, but seems like you'll need it. '

' Radiation? Right... here Mana was mixed with something. So it was Radiation? ' Grabbing the cash and throwing it down into his shadow. He also grabbed the syringe.
