You are exploring an unfamiliar area of the New World...

As you walk, you reflect on the area around you.

This area is nothing like what you saw here that day when an army truck brought you and several others to the checkpoint that blocked access to bunker No. 78-PHE-S. Now there is no green tall grass on the sides of the road, no neat lawn near the checkpoint fence, no smooth asphalt of the road...

The only things you notice from before are the concrete power poles. But these pillars look different now...

Concrete power line poles are now either lying on the ground, covered with some kind of moss, or askew at an angle of 45 degrees...

Almost nothing remains of the asphalt of the road along which you came here...

However, you remember that this road went from north to south. Therefore, by the location of the concrete pillars (which were located along this road), you understand where exactly the north direction is.

Accordingly, you can determine that the strange lights that you saw far on the horizon are located approximately in a northwest direction from your current location.

You continue to walk forward carefully...

Looking around, you see a vast expanse of steppe wasteland, which is covered with sparse withered grass of dirty brown or yellowish gray shades. This steppe wasteland extends far beyond the horizon in a northern and northeastern direction...

Looking south and southwest, you see distant silhouettes of trees. There is probably some kind of forest there.

You remember your meeting with local insects and you think: “I have no desire at all to meet first-hand the local inhabitants of the forest, who have probably also undergone mutations...”

You stroke the deep scratches on your palm that one of those giant cockroaches managed to inflict on you before you shot it.

You think: “It would be useful to find at least some medicines... Or at least an **** solution for disinfection and bandages for dressing...”

In the east and southeast you see sharp rock peaks that rise hundreds of meters into the air. Do you remember for sure that in 2049 there were no rocks at this place...

As you walk, you notice the ruins of several buildings along the way. Almost nothing remains of one of them except the foundation, which is littered with pieces of broken brick. The remains of the second building look a little better. What remains of the second building can be described as three holey concrete walls, fragments of the roof, heaps of garbage, which consists of pieces of concrete, twisted reinforcement and glass fragments. Where the front door should be is now just empty space. The fragments of this door and the entire fourth wall fell into the interior of this building.

You decided to carefully examine this building to try to find at least something useful. You think: “It would be nice if I could find some medicine...”

You enter this destroyed building and you begin to look for at least something useful among the garbage.

After half an hour of searching, you are **** to admit that you have not been able to find anything except all sorts of rubbish, decayed books and small bones that probably belonged to some small animals.

You sigh in disappointment...

Some barely audible crunch reaches your ears...

A sudden idea appears in your mind: “Small bones... This means that here...”

You quickly grab the handle of your automatic pistol, which was lying in your bag.

You quickly turn around and grab your automatic pistol. You point your weapon towards the perceived threat.

The next second it becomes obvious to you that the threat to you is not at all hypothetical, but completely real...
