The necessary coordinates are getting closer...

After half an hour of wandering among the ruins, Flint notices that a significant part of the first floor of the building simply fell into the ground.

Large concrete blocks could not withstand some **** impact, the power of which is now difficult to even imagine...

Twilight also sees that the path leads downwards.

He says: "We are almost there... Now we need to go down to the underground floors of this building... Obviously, there is some kind of basement here..."

Flint nods and moves forward.

He squeezes his steel boomerang. And he thinks that his twin knifes will soon come in handy...

Thorn curses and moves after his two companions, limping slightly.

The trio of rabbit-scouts slowly descends into the underground rooms of the destroyed building.

There is something like a small crater from some kind of projectile.

The concrete walls are dotted with steel fragments.

As the group moves along the dark underground corridor, Flint (still walking slowly and carefully) examines the walls.

Some incomprehensible writing…

"Pluton Biosciences, Inc."

And something else…

Some button…

Click!

Several fluorescent lights on the ceiling light up. Some of them flicker periodically. Others emit a steady light.

Now this long underground corridor is illuminated by the dim light of these fluorescent lights.

Twilight looks back at Flint.

Flint smiles and says: "This will be more convenient…"

Twilight says in a cold tone: "Not all the buttons need to be pressed… Next time, warn me… However, now it is clear to me that somewhere in these underground ruins there is a source of electricity…"

Continuing along the long underground corridors, the trio examines the area.

Sometimes their observant glances notice traces of the local inhabitants. Traces of the past inhabitants of this place are fragments of human skeletons and skulls in decayed rags, which in the distant past were clothes.

Traces of the current inhabitants of this place are rat shit, slime, which is clearly left over from radroaches.

And soon Twilight, Thorn and Flint notice a fact that clearly indicates that these underground ruins are inhabited not only by rats and radroaches...

At the end of the corridor, under the light of a flickering fluorescent lamp, Thorn's gaze notices the silhouette of a person.

This person stands with his back to the trio.

Thorn quickly loads his crossbow and points the weapon towards the stranger.

Flint also notices him and shouts: "Hey, you! We don't want trouble... Just get out of the way and we won't harm you!"

Twilight silently points his old bolt action 7.65x51 rifle towards the unfamiliar person.

The stranger continues to stand with his back to the group...

The distance is not very great...

Probably about 40 meters.

The stranger's body trembles strangely and sways slightly.

In the dim light, only his dirty and torn clothes are visible.

Flint clutches his steel boomerang in his hand.

A few tense seconds...

Then the stranger... slowly turns around.

And he begins to walk towards the group of rabbits-scouts.

Twilight shouts: "Stay still, idiot! Or we will open fire to kill!"

No reaction to these words.

The silhouette continues to move.

And it moves faster and faster...
