   On the right began the quarters of the city, completely captured by Twa-
ryam and that’s where the path lay. The ground here was all cracked -
and hot lava was burning in the cracks. None of the Cleaners

do.

   Here Yurka moved only with a shift. Running between the destroyed
buildings and every minute changing breathing filters from the all-absorbing
stench, right and left he heard disgusting guttural sounds
ki and the vile chomping of the Creatures, but so far no one had noticed it.  Him
I had to run through this block and go down into the underground
corridor, at the end of which, he hoped, lay Blue
Key. Suddenly the door of the house in front of him opened and from there, with a roar,
a crowd of Imps poured out mixed with Zombiemen. Time to think -
there was no choice, because The imps have already begun to throw
fireballs. Dodging the first balls flying at him,
Yurka, with a practiced movement, grabbed a rocket launcher from his backpack and
zero on the shoulder. Deciding that the distance was enough, without aiming he launched at
crowd two missiles in a row. From powerfulrecoil Yurka barely held on
legs. The missiles crashed into the flock, scattering Imps and Zombies like autumn
leaves. The smell of burnt meat filled my nose.  “Strength!” - respectfully
thought Yurka, putting the Rocket Launcher behind his back. The shots woke up and
attracted the attention of the Creatures in the neighboring houses. A sonorous friendly roar
The singing came from all sides. We had to hurry. Having drowned the cla-

before the entrance to the underground corridor, there were no more than five
meters, and then the entrance hatch lowered and Yurka heard what
what I disliked most was the disgusting sound, a mixture of hissing and
crackling. “What Demons!” the thought flashed, and from the hatch, one
after another, three huge red, pimply balls flew out, and
scattered, surrounding him. Abruptly backing up, Yurka pulled out his beloved
washed Plasma Gun, but didn’t even have time to pick it up. KakoDemons, amazing
their smiling mouths synchronously released three sparkling small

a long line of blue electrical discharges.  KakoDemon

new mass. Having dodged two charges flying at him, he knocked

thrown to the side - the third charge still reached its target. In my headit cleared up, but immediately became cloudy again, my back burned with fire
- the third CacoDemon came from behind and stabbed him in the back.
“Bitch!!!” - not realizing anything from the pain, Yurka turned around and...
began to pour fire into the surrounding area. I was able to stop only when
The weapon has run out of battery.

   My back was burning, but it was tolerable, but the Biocontrol screen showed
shaft a lousy figure - 67%. "It's time to use the first aid kit. And
all because of these sons of bitches!” Yurka got really angry.
He only had 10 percent first aid kits, and then only three.
Using two of them, he restored the level to 87%.

   “Well, not much,” Yurka smiled bitterly and went to the hatch,
along the way, jumping over a pile of red and blue stinking crap.

   From behind I heard the painfully familiar sound of clicking gears.
“Well, no! I can’t stand Arachnotrons now,” he sighed
Yurka rushed into the hatch, slamming it behind him. Immediately hitting the ground
When there was complete darkness, Yurka stopped for a moment.  The corridor was straight
in front of him. Having inserted the second battery into the Plasma Gun, he moved forward

Soon a light loomed ahead and Yurka hurried forward.  Caution

pulled himself together and regretfully took out the BFG 9000. Having made up his mind, he

the whole room. There was the sound of crumbling bones, and the passage was clear.

carefully moved towards the door.

   Having opened it wide, he couldn’t believe his eyes!  Right in front
There, shimmering with all shades, lay the Blue Key.  "YES!!!"-
That was all Yurka could say and ran after him. And only in the village

that the Key lies in the center of the teleporter. My eyes grew dark, then
the bright light blinded him, and immediately a sharp pain burned his chest and face.

MenCubus made the sound of descendingwater in the toilet and fell apart,
filling everything around with disgusting yellow fat...

   When Yurka came to his senses, he was surprised that he was still alive and
looked at my standard of living. 7% dispassionately showed Bio-

I took out the last first aid kit. Having restored his health to 17%, he tried

   Perhaps this was one pleasant moment in this day, because...  tone-
the nel was completely empty, and even led him straight to the hill, with
whom he started this journey so long ago...

   Suddenly Yurka realized that something was wrong. Yes! Where does the burning smell come from?
in the Residential Quarter?! And why is there such silence around? He saw how
someone runs towards him. It was my brother. Is Sashka in the City? Who allowed
did you tell him to come out?? Grabbing his brother in his arms, Yurka wanted to ask
him, what happened, but Sashka just sobbed, bursting into tears...
Having barely reached the house, Yurka couldn’t believe his eyes - at home, like that...
there was no such thing! There were two charred walls and in the middle - Blue
Door. “Sashka!! Where’s mom???” Yurka yelled. "There... There..." - Sash-

but it opened... And behind it there was nothing except another door,
above which the yellow letters glowed: EXIT. “Well, that’s all.” - say
Yurka thought calmly and pulled the handle towards himself...

   A machine gun burst rang out. Heavy Weapon stood behind the door
Dude with a machine gun in his hands. Falling to his knees, Yurka reached out to
control panel and, feeling for the letters with numb fingers, typed:
IDDQD. Nothing happened. “How... is that so??” - through the red

- “You’re on NIGHTMARE, idiot!!” - Dude, narrowing his Mongolian eyes
