"So, where'd the drunk say those bandits were?"
Adder and Maginot had left the "civilised" part of Rostok and were now in the Wild Territory, standing next to an old watch tower and keeping an eye for any mutants.
"-In an old shack next to a railway quay", said Maginot.
They went around the tower and followed some old, rusting railway tracks, carefully avoiding the electro anomalies that dotted the old metal construct. After a short while they arrived in sight of a small shack, in which people seemed to be talking.
"-That must be them", said Adder, "I'll scan the area and see how there are."
She furtively went over to the train quay nearby, crouching behind it and looking at the shack through her binoculars. She came back soon after.
"There's seven of them, the hostage is sitting next to them with his hands tied up behind his back."
"-We won't be able to handle that many", said Maginot, "well, we won't be able to handle them without getting the hostage killed."
"-Hmm..."
Suddenly, they heard an ugly, growling squeaking noise coming from somewhere nearby.
"-What was that?", said Maginot, looking around.
"-No idea. Some kind of mutant..."
She stopped talking as she saw the ugliest little rat-like creature imaginable scuttle out of an underpass nearby, behind an old, crashed helicopter.
"-That tunnel must be crawling with the fuckers."
"-I just got an idea", said Adder with a smile full of devious cruelty.
--------------------------------------------
A while later, the bandits in the shack were exulting as they pointed their sawn off shotguns and AK-74Us at a stalker with a French accent, who had stumbled straight into their grasp.
"-Don't shoot me!", said the stalker, "I can show you a great stash somewhere nearby if you spare me!"
The bandits, who had obviously been drinking, looked at each other before a tall, burly one, who was obviously their leader, spoke up.
"-Okay, punk, but no funny business."
The stalker lead the bandits over to the old underpass blocked with cars and junk. The bandit leader looked at him suspiciously.
"You serious? That underpass is full of electro anomalies."
"-I know a safe path through them", said the stalker, "just follow me."
The bandits hesitate a little before following the stalker through the tunnel, effectively avoiding the anomalies. The stalker finally lead them to a rusty pipe sticking out of the wall, near the bottom of the tunnel.
"It's in here", said the stalker, indicating the pipe.
"-Thanks, buddy...", said the bandit leader before pointing his TOZ at his guide, "now we'll just..."
"-GAAAHHH!!! GET THIS THING OFF ME!!", screamed one of the bandits who had stuck his hand into the pipe, keen on getting at the loot supposedly stashed there. A rodent had latched onto his hand with its teeth and was growling loudly, not letting go.
"-FUCK!"
There was a chorus of vicious growls as the rest of the rodent's "family", having heard its cries, charged out from beneath an old UAZ jeep, snarling viciously and attacking the bandits.
The French stalker, who was none other than Maginot, hastily jumped up onto a block of concrete, out of the reach of the vicious little mutated rats. Adder had emerged from her hiding place in an old pipe.
The bandits were struggling to get the rodents off themselves, having up to twelve of the little fuckers latched onto them, biting and clawing viciously. Adder and Maginot raised their guns with smiles of triumph.
The tunnel echoed with gunfire, and the rodent's snarls and the bandit's screams grew silent.
-------------------------------------------
A lone bandit stood guard at the shack, awaiting the return of his comrades. He hadn't heard the commotion down in the tunnels.
"Pff, Enko do this, Enko do that...I'm not your fucking maid of all work!", he grumbled.
The hostage, a grimy-looking stalker, shifted uneasily.
"Always giving me the shitty work...I bet I won't get any of the loot that stalker told them about. Stop shifting, dirtbag!", he snarled, roughly poking the stalker with the barrel of his AK-74U.
"Fucking hippy...", he growled, before staring at the shack's entrance in disbelief.
A woman stood there, pointing an AK at him.
"Whoa, fucking mirages now."
Enko the unfortunate bandit's life was brutally ended by a burst of gunfire that hit him in the chest, killing him instantly. Maginot and Adder entered the shack and untied the stalker, recoiling at his foul smell.
"-Thanks guys, I knew someone would come and save me", said the stalker with a smile, showing yellow teeth.
"-Eeeh, thank us later", said Adder, "for now, let's get back to the Bar, your friend is waiting for you."
Adder and Maginot had left the "civilised" part of Rostok and were now in the Wild Territory, standing next to an old watch tower and keeping an eye for any mutants.
