Shadows of JiangXi

[Tomtomrawr]

He'd been walking west, along where he believed the high-level radiation zone was. And then his gun had exploded. A loud PANG as a small metal bullet impacted the larger metal weapon and the weapon was falling onto the floor. Miller's hands seared with pain and throbbed as he'd instinctively attempted to hold onto the weapon. Well, he'd succeeded. Partly. He'd kept the trigger.

He dove for cover, knowing he was under attack from somewhere. But when he hit the ground, what felt like a knife drove itself into his stomach. He gasped, forgetting his attacker for a second as he moved his hand down to the wound. He shifted from his prone position to lying down, and pulled out a shard of glass. He brought it to his face, examining it as the light of dawn reflected on it.

He gasped again, realising how long the glass shard had been in him without being noticed. It was from the farmhouse, he knew. Jumping through the window, landing on glass shards. Why had he done that? He'd been desperate.

His attention shifted now, as if he were phasing in and out of reality to deal with one problem at a time. It shifted back to the situation at hand, being attacked by an unknown assailant. He'd have to move for cover, and that cover was to the south. In what he still believed was the radiation zone.

He'd have to risk it. He knew he would. It was his only hope of survival now, to escape the sniper fire in the dense forest. He struggled to his feet, sharp pain stabbing through his stomach, his throbbing fingers now ignored as if they were a distant memory.

He ran as fast as he could into the dense forest, his only protection being what was more like a poncho and a gas mask.
