An unexpected meeting with local inhabitants...

You see the silhouettes of two persons who were hiding behind dilapidated walls. These persons quickly attack you. You barely have time to notice that your opponents look a little strange: they are dressed in some rags, their skin has a brownish tint, both of these guys are bald, and some scab-like growths are visible on their faces... The first guy is more muscular and tall , his nose is crooked (as if it is broken), he holds a sharp knife in each of his hands (more precisely, it can be called the word “prison shank”, because this is a homemade knife that was made from scrap materials). The second guy is of a puny build, has purple scars on the skin of his left arm and is armed with a piece of rebar...

So, the situation is clearly not conducive to leisurely reflection...

One of these guys squeals furiously and rushes towards you, waving a piece of sharp reinforcement... He is clearly aiming at your throat and his intentions completely exclude you from staying alive...

You step back. The metal reinforcement rapidly sweeps at a distance of about 10 centimeters from your head. Your enemy turns towards you again and tries to continue the attack.

As he approaches you throw a quick kick. Your enemy staggers back and bends. A kick in the groin is very unpleasant...

The next moment you feel a painful blow in your stomach. The second guy threw one of the knives at you. And he hit the target. Fortunately, you are wearing a bulletproof vest. Now you will bruise, but you have avoided having a hole fifteen centimeters deep in your stomach...

However, it is too early for you to relax. The knife thrower decides to lunge at you. He lets out a furious cry: “Die, scum!!!”

His muscular body quickly approaches you. He is clearly preparing to stab you with a knife that will be incompatible with life. Even worse, you see how the second guy recovered from your blow. And the second guy begins to slowly approach you from the side. He raises his hand back in order to make a swing and a powerful blow with piece of the reinforcement...

You have no other choice.

You didn't want to do this.

But when a tall, muscular guy ran up to you already at a distance of three meters, you quickly pointed the muzzle of your automatic pistol towards his head.

You pulled the trigger several times. The sound of gunfire. Several new holes appeared in the knife thrower's head. On the forehead, on the cheek and just below the nose.

The lifeless body fell to the floor with a crash. Blood flowed copiously onto pieces of concrete and other debris.

You quickly turned to your second opponent, but he had clearly lost his enthusiasm. Instead of continuing the attack, he hid inside one of the rooms of this dilapidated building. However, the only exit from this room was blocked by you. Person, whom he recently tried to kill. Person who has a firearm.

You think about the current situation: “It’s dangerous for me to leave this aggressive person alive. He can follow me and attack me at a time when I am defenseless. For example: during sleep. On the other hand, I don’t like killing... I would prefer to use words to persuade this person to disperse peacefully... Besides, perhaps I will be able to learn at least some useful information from him..."
