– What does this mean? – excitedly asked Timur.
– Maybe it’s a parallel universe? Perhaps, indeed, there are parallel worlds, and this is one of them? – Peter asked.
– Yes, exactly. I saw a program on “REN TV” about parallel worlds. They exist. Maybe if we enter this fog, we find ourselves in a parallel world? – asked Nurlan with hope.
– Scary. – Timur said.
– I don’t believe in it. There are no parallel worlds. Just before the outbreak the mist was somewhere, and after flashes after somehow it captured our previous life as a reel of film. And that’s all. Watch “REN TV” less, guys, – Adil said, laughing.
Timur, Peter and Nurlan started to speculate that perhaps this is indeed a parallel world. Everyone started to voice their guesses. What if someone try to enter there, and he will be in another world?
– Guys, moved on. Let us not be distracted, everything will discuss later. Now do the main thing, – Erlan said.
All at once came to their senses and calmed down. Surprisingly, no longer met anyone or anything in their path, reached the “Northern Lights”. Carefully entered into it. The store was open. Going into it, they found that someone had visited the store before them, there were neither weapons nor ammunition. Adil from perplexity scratched his head, forgetting that he was in a gas mask.
– And how should we understand it? – asked Peter.
– Someone was here before us. But who? -said Nurlan.
Suddenly Adil cried out and began to talk excitedly:
– There must be a warehouse. I don’t know where, but it should be here. Somewhere nearby. But location is not in the store. Guys, let’s find it.
Began to inspect everything. Saw the entrance to the basement and went down. In the basement found the armored door.
Adil said:
– It is certainly here.
Valera began to cast over the door, pulled out his tools. Fifteen minutes later the door opened. All went inside and closed the door. There was everything. Guns, automatic guns, with instruments that measure radiation, bulletproof vests, special radiation suits, patrons. Adil switch on radiation meter, shown just above the norm.
– Guys, radiation presents, but not strong. Let’s change the suits quiсkly. This special Nanosuit created from biological and other weapons. They have such material that is impossible to break. It’s supersuit! They are perfect for us. Even if we will have to shoot at close range, burn us, suits all survive – happily said Adil.
– Even if we would shoot, the costume will not miss a bullet? Did you mean this? – Timur asked.
– Yes, that’s what I exactly mean. And even if someone wants to fry your balls, the suit will protect you, – said Adil.
All laughed. Everyone took his suit and began to dress quickly.
– Due to the fact that there is armored door, there is no radiation here. We brought the radiation on our suits. Therefore, a little higher than normal shows, but it is permissible. Guys, maybe have a bite here? When else will be able to eat and drink, do not know – Adil said.
Quickly cooked food. Meal very tight and fun. Everyone mood has risen. There was hope that now they are exactly reach the bunker. Bakhtiar hugged Aelita, and they are quite silent.
Here and now everything was good, and there was a hope for the future…
– It is necessary to take more filters for old costumes. These costumes don’t need filters and old would be useful for us. Now we know where the warehouse, and can always visit it when we need, – said Adil.
All men put on flamethrowers. Because they could bombard bullets and throwing fire. Adil took another sniper rifle:
– When I was younger, I was a good sniper. Now, however, it is not the same years, but it is time to revive old.
– And how old are you that you should revive the old? -Yerlan asked.
– I’m fifty-two, -said Adil.
– Wow, it’s hard to say, – said Nurlan.
Aelita took herself two automatic guns. The flamethrower was too heavy for her. They took lot of ammunition, filters for costumes, and each took a device that measures radiation.
Sat down on the track, quiet for a while and came out. Valera closed the door.
Chapter 6
Coming out of the building, Adil pulled out device that measures radiation the device rolls over. Ran light jogging. To the closed city was about ten kilometers to go. Adil made a sign to stop and said:
– How do you think what if we find the car near any gas station, refuel it and will drive? It’s not a matter if we get tired when we reach the city? -We can try. If there will be gasoline in gas station, – said Erlan.
Adil said:
– Each gas station has a tank buried in the ground. Maybe they do not touch? Ah, in the stock was the metal detector, I did not take it; I thought it was the extra load. Now with its help, we would have quickly found a buried tank. Well, try and find a way.
Bakhtiar has seen in five hundred meters from them gas station with auto parts store and said:
– Guys, let’s be careful. Not for nothing gasoline drained from all the cars, so for someone needs it. And that someone could be near the filling stations and guard them.
Not reaching the refueling they stopped, look around, there was no one. Nurlan said:
– It seems everything is clean.
Chosen a jeep. It was a brand new Jeep with a large hatch in the roof. Everyone had an idea what, if anything happened, it will be possible to open the door and shoot from there. Gasoline from the car was merged; they started looking for a tank. They have been looking for a long time, but never found. Suddenly Peter cried out:
– Hide!
All hid. At first heard moaning. Then they saw two hideous monsters. Even in the worst nightmare of a human brain could not think of. They walked painfully and groaning. They had the gray bubble skin, big eyes, got out and reaching the beginning of the head. They had no hair. Some rot have dripped from their mouth. They were a man and a woman. The man’s knees were turned as if they turned upside down, legs bent and front to back, as he walked. Behind him was a huge thick tail, like lizards. When he walked, he leaned tail on the ground. The woman was of epic proportions of lower body, starting from the waist. As if she poured a ton of water. And at the bottom of this incredibly bloated body, reaching down to the ground, stuck two feet. They went to the gas station. Timur gestured it is necessary to kill them.
– Not yet. Let’s see why they had come, – Erlan whispered.
Going to the gas station, they looked. Satisfied that no one and no one is watching them, they fell to the ground and began to dig with hands. To get to the hose, they began to drink from it in turn. They drank for a long time. Finally drunk, they stood cheerful. As if they drank a living miracle drink, and they have increased energy and strength. Carefully burying everything back that there were no visible traces they are left.
When they do not become visible, they all stood up.
– What are they drinking, I wonder? – asked Nurlan.
– I think, gasoline, – said Adil.
Going to this place, quickly began to dig. Finding
