On the way, about 50km from the front line command unit

Lyosha sat in the car with a cigarette in hand, he looked over the car window to the distant ruins and pondered the possibilities. Burns, bullet wounds, gangrene... All were planned by him, there was no wound that Lyosha could not heal. Lyosha looks confident. He tells himself this is like going on a business trip he's been doing this for 20 years. All of Lyosha's thoughts vanished when Gyena called out to him.

"Lyosha," Gyena patted her best friend on the shoulder and said. "Are you thinking about someone?"

Lyosha replied, her eyes still on the car door. "You know what am I thinking about"

Gyena's hoarse voice. "Thinking about a little girl at some bar, aren't you?"

"You can't think of anything else," Lyosha looked directly into Gyena's face. Suddenly he smiled and said? "At least I don't date all three girls and get kicked three times as you did in the past, my friend."

After saying a bit about Gyena's past when he was a teenager everyone in the vehicle burst into laughter and started teasing Gyena. The soldier sitting next to him started teasing and laughing nonstop. The atmosphere in the car was filled with laughter and jokes.

"A little bit of humor like this is also fun, isn't it, people?" Gyena had just finished speaking when they heard an explosion in the distance.

"3 o'clock!" The third soldier shouted, loaded his gun, and pointed his gun in that direction. Two other soldiers began to follow, one of them scanning around to identify danger ahead. In front of them appeared a cloud of white smoke, looking at it, they knew it was a smoke bomb. This was no joke if they saw such smoke, the first soldier ordered the driver to speed up. Lyosha and Gyena sensed something was wrong, and the two of them started looking out the car window. The space was suddenly quiet again.

"Is everything normally so quiet?" Lyosha asked worriedly.

"The enemy is trying to do something we don't know about," replied the second soldier. "probably...". The soldier was talking, when suddenly a series of small explosions appeared, followed by white smoke. The soldier shouted, ordering the driver to speed up, drive off the main road, and take a detour to the destination. "We've been ambushed everyone, keep your heads down." Lyosha and Gyena clung to something in the car, pistol in hand, and prayed. The sound of gunfire echoed around as the soldiers on the vehicle fired bullets into that thick white smoke. Lyosha could hear the sound of bullets hitting the armor and the screams from outside, the screams of enemies when hit. Looks like these soldiers did a great job. Everyone in the car defended themselves and shot back at the enemy behind the white smoke until they came out of the white smoke. Once out of the white smoke, no one heard the gunfire again, "it's over," said the second soldier. The heavy soldier looked around, he reported "no sign of enemy troops". Having said that, everyone felt relieved, but still afraid of an ambush ahead like this.

"Everyone checks and counts the remaining ammo." After saying that, the soldier turned around and asked the doctor and the messenger: "Are you two injured or something?"

Lyosha calmly replied: "I'm fine". Lyosha turned to look at Gyena

"I'm fine, don't worry about me," Gyena said.

Everyone in the car started discussing the gunfight earlier, everyone was confused. Lyosha began to doubt, why Novosibirsk wasn't attacked when that town was closest to Omsk, he shook his head. thought, he shared this with the group and they were thinking the same as him, no one knows why, even the messenger Gyena doesn't know, and the official words of the leaders don't know why either. While everyone in the car was still discussing this incident, the driver interrupted the discussion with a worried and scared voice, everyone started to pay attention to the scene ahead. They marveled at the scene before them, the place that was once called the frontline command center was now a pile of rubble with bent steel, the corpses lying around as prey for the crows. flying over and enjoying their meal, amid corpses anyone could recognize as sentinels, Gyena glanced around and spotted a large bomb crater in the center of the command center. Everyone got off the armored vehicle, loaded their weapons, and prepared for any eventuality. "defensive formation", the first soldier ordered his teammates. Immediately they formed a circle forcing the messenger and doctor into the center of the formation. Suddenly the fourth soldier heard a familiar noise.

"tack, tick, tick"

This sound is very familiar, it comes from a corpse wearing a protective suit

"Damn this place is radioactive", immediately the doctor took a sip of purple medicine with the symbol of radioactive material, he gave it to his teammates and forced them to drink. "This is the Chlorcystamine drug, which will help your body resist radiation for a short time."

After listening, each one in the squad took a sip of the drug, the squad started to go deeper into the command center, among them checking the corpse have default gear protection and getting some items. One of them was a radioactive measure. Lyosha's timer starts counting the time the drug will take effect, everyone only has 2 hours to find out what's going on here, the squad goes deep inside and explores the command center.
