[font=Georgia]Lachina kept walking for the next one and half hour but she got tired pretty soon and it was too dark to continue anyway. While thinking of the best way how to overnight in the wood and she came to conclusion that she will choose some tree for it. She looked around for a few minutes until she finally found one with the right branches. After that she looked for some deadwood on the ground and made a small seat on the tree so she could lie. It wasn't very comfortable but it was better than nothing. When she was done, one hour later, the cold air was biting her face. Lachina took her jacket from the backpack, put it on and climbed on her seat. She took her dose of anti-rads and ate the content of the can she have found and finished her dinner with a few gulps from her water stocks. After that she put the gun and her backpack on another of the branches, keeping only her knife and the pistol. Lachina set the alarm on the watch for five hours. There is no time to waste. SoCred will not wait for her. If there is any Social Credit. Last thing she saw was a missile hitting it and a line of smoke. If they crashed, JiangXi will be her tomb forever. She sighed slowly closing her eyes. She must not think like that. There is a certain person she would like to see again and she was sure that person wouldn't like the idea of her dying either. She smiled a little thinking about the events two days ago. Suddenly she heard some noise from the branches around. Lachina grabbed the pistol and opened her eyes. The thing that she saw scared her maybe more than if it was raider sitting next to her. A large white Raven was watching her with it's red eyes. She aimed her gun on it and whispered quietly: "Mother Gaia, protect me". The raven kept watching her for a few seconds but then it jumped from the tree and flew away. She sighed relieved and put the gun back on her waist belt. She did not even know if she should take it as a good or bad sign.

The annoying noise of beeping alarm woke her up. That was a first good thing since it means she is alive. The fact that the beg and her AK-74 was there too, made her even happier. She took both and jumped off the tree. It was still dark but she checked her direction with the compass and continued her march. Two hours later she could finally see the end of the wood. The fact that two seconds later an acidic salvo splashed on a tree next to her face made it a bit worse. Lachina jumped away and another one flew through the place she was standing before. She grabbed her AK and swiftly switched to the burst-fire mod. Killer bunnies. So they really exist. She have thought that Pasha is just finding a funny excuse to give them a little more ammo. She now saw what a mistake thinking that was. She noticed where the bunnies are and sprayed them both with bullets, hitting one but the second disappeared. She stood there for a few seconds but then Lachina noticed the jumping bunny with a corner of her eye but it was far too late to shoot. She turned and fortunately managed to hit it with the rifle-stock. The dazed bunny fell on the ground. She aimed her gun on it. [color=#FF6600]"To the the hell with you". Her rifle sent two bullets through the head of that thing but then choked emptily. She sighed and threw the empty magazine, putting a new one to her rifle. These thing cost her multiple times more ammo than the whole Volkhan patrol. She left the wood and headed towards a town under it. She needs some vehicle.
