NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 5: evil souls ( no editing)
The city shoots at night with shots of fire. But the night is stronger, its power is great.Five dark figures in heavy armor crept through the streets of Sverdlovsk at night with the utmost caution. Their goal was to descend into the basement near a five-story gray panel building. The descent was guarded by two people who were warming themselves near a barrel in which a fire was burning, fueled by garbage and briquettes with dry fuel.
Two guys tried to warm up, stretching their hands to the fire and occasionally sipping some cheap swill from a bottle on which port wine was misspelled.- Fuck, how the night shifts got me. - said one of the guards, and his partner only nodded, expressing his agreement.- And all because of what freaks who did not understand the simple idea that you need to share with the right guys. - The second guard took a deep puff from a cigarette.- yes, fuck.
But while they are looking for them, the whole gang will have to stand guard. Sasha also began to maintain discipline with draconian methods.- He got it with his antics. I didn't come to the gang from the army to freeze again in outfits and guards and not sleep at night.- Be quiet. Otherwise Sasha will find out and beat you. Have you forgotten what he did to Kolyan? Do you also want to hang on the rope as an example?The two bandits chatted like that, completely losing sight of the four dark figures, who rushed in pairs to each of them with a sharp jerk.- Mvvffvf! - one of the bandits tried to shout, when a hand appeared as if out of nowhere clamped his mouth, and the next second he felt a slight burning from an injection in the neck area.Unknown persons did the same with his accomplice, and a few seconds later two sleeping bandits were lying near the descent into the basement, who had failed their task of guarding.
And a fifth member of the squad came out of the darkness, who used the equipment built into the helmet to conduct a scan."Everything is clear. The detectors didn't notice anything, and there are no cameras here.-Accepted. Continue.The unknown men brought one of the sleeping guards to a hidden sensor panel hidden in a niche. Putting the guard's hand, they waited for the door to be unlocked in front of them. With a barely audible squeak, the door opened.- We have everything ready for the assault. Kowalski, what do you have?- I connected to the cameras.
Everything is as we expected. A lot of meat is waiting for us inside, and a dozen guys who have good chrome. Kowalski replied and sent the data to the commander's interactive map.- And the main goal? - I ask, building a new route."He beats up his henchman in front of the others in his office. Skipper, I think we can secretly go further than we planned." Kowalski connected us to a hidden camera in Sasha Bely's office.-Hmm. I think so too. Knowing the psychological type of Sasha Bely and the fact that everything in the gang is built on violence and rude intimidation, until he finishes with his victim, then he will not let go of his lieutenants or whatever they are. What do the others think? - I look at the rest of the team."We'll walk about half the way working only with knives and pistols with silencers. You can also use rifles, but I'm not sure that the noise level will be minimal." Rico answered."
But it would be even better if we get to this hall unnoticed. This is the main part of the gang. We'll throw grenades at the beginning, and then storm or take a convenient point for defense with grinding the survivors." The private pointed with his finger at one of the bottlenecks leading to the large hall.Medics supported the idea, so without much delay, five men in heavy armor went to the dimly lit basement.All bandits met on the way were removed by pistol shots or knife blows to the neck. They had to work quickly, so the corpses were simply dragged to the first niches or empty rooms they came across.
The path of the team could be safely traced by traces of blood, or rather, by bloody footprints of the soles.There was one unpleasant moment when, during the destruction of the next patrol, they were seen by a bandit who went to the toilet.Seeing a corpse falling to the ground, and a big man in black armor standing next to him, with a knife in his hand, from which blood was dripping, he was confused."! His first word was loud enough, and for the second, he had enough air in his lungs, so it was quieter.A shot to the head prevented him from fixing it, but the noise still attracted the attention of the other bandits sitting in the next room.-Skipper! I think you've been spotted. I can see on the cameras that several bandits are moving towards you."
Kowalski quickly announced the impending problems with stealth advancement. "I can burn them out through the net, but then they may notice.-Leave. I'll try to improvise right now. If it doesn't work, then at my command, knock out their comas and don't let them give an alarm signal. I quickly run up to the body of the murdered bandit and pick it up, and then press myself against the wall.Then the bandits began to approach, attracted by the noise.
They saw a pool of blood and a couple of splashes hit the wall. This made them wary. But then they heard the sound of a fist hitting the body, familiar to all bandits.- What are you scum! Have you completely lost your fear?! The guys asked me to light a cigarette and run for booze. And you fucking sent us. - I say quite loudly in Russian, trying to imitate the accent and intonation of gopniks and hit the dead body.-Hey. What the hell is going on there? - the chief apparently asked the approaching bandits.-And? You don't see, I'm teaching this mind to the louse. He doesn't understand how to talk to real guys. - Another blow and a couple of splashes of blood fall to the ground.- I don't give a fuck.
But you'll smear the walls here, and then they'll give us a cunt for it.- Don't bother. I'll finish with the re-education of this fucker, and then I'll make him clean everything up.-Okay. But if I see that there is shit left here, then you will deal with the foreman yourself. Let's go. The leader waved his hand and they all went back to their rooms together.I quickly lower the corpse to the ground and signal my guys to attack. Like ghosts, we came out of the corner and opened fire, while trying to hit the head and heart at once. In less than five seconds, the bandits were finished, and judging by the fact that the leader was smoking, Kowalski's implant burned him, preventing him from sounding the alarm. After quickly conducting control with shots to the head, we continued on to the main hall.Judging by the noise, the bandits were mostly chatting and just waiting for their leaders to arrive. We need to hurry, now or never.- So, quickly check our new armor.
Look, of course, they showed us their tactical and technical indicators and let us train with them, but this is the first real combat experience with them. Check what does not interfere anywhere, and so on. - I begin to adjust the strap of my bulletproof vest and run the helmet diagnostics.- Skipper, this is armor for heavy attack aircraft of special forces. Here you need at least a 15 mm armor-piercing cartridge. And this machine gun is just a beast, 9 mm. - said Manfredi.And I remembered how these guns and new armor were presented to us.Flashback.
One day ago.- So, Comrade Berkut, let me introduce you to a new version of the AK-AN 74 Sh.E. - a representative of the secret research institute showed a weapon that differed in a couple of details from the standard AK-AN 74.- For assault and combat in urban conditions, the 9mm caliber will be more effective. Although increasing the caliber may affect the range, but thanks to the built-in accelerator, this is no longer a problem. Plus 9 mm will allow the use of different fillings in bullets, ranging from armor-piercing and incendiary to exotic ones like stun guns and with neurotoxins. - Several cartridges with different markings appeared on the table next to the weapon.- Do you already produce them or is it all only at the level of experienced? - I am considering cartridges that were called exotic.- At the moment, we have completed all the experiments, but the production lines have not yet been deployed.
But this is temporary. - The representative did not say something, apparently that there is some kind of problem with production.-Okay. And now let's talk about the disadvantages of this weapon. Putting the cartridge back in its place, I look at the representative as if examining him through an X-ray.-Em. Disadvantages. There are only two of them. This is the high cost and the fact that they are produced for a very long time. Very rare and expensive materials are involved there, plus high-precision machines and qualified personnel are required. – The representative turned out to be a professional, so he was able to withstand my view and not lie. Almost."It's all mostly about the production aspect.
And I'm more interested in the problems for the user, so to speak." I press on him, frowning slightly, with an expression like, don't you dare lie to me so frankly."Khah. User. Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention that the battery powering the accelerator is not very powerful at the moment. In the maximum mode, you can make from 500 to 600 shots. After that, the assault rifle will be like a regular AK-AN 74, but with a reduced range due to a larger caliber. The representative tried to smooth out the corners.- That is, after five or six hundred shots, I will have a useless oar?! - Here I got angry, because I did not expect such a minus in the weapon.-No no! It will just be necessary to carry out a quick replacement of the battery or connect a bulkier battery.
The representative panicked, sensing my rage.-Hmm. How quickly can the battery be replaced and how bulky is the external battery?"The replacement can be done in ten seconds, and even faster with a certain skill. But the external battery can be placed in a small pouch and can be connected with a cable." Feeling the end of his speech begin to relax, the representative exhaled as if he had just escaped from the clutches of a dragon.-Okay.
We'll have a couple of training sessions in the so-called laboratory conditions, and then we'll have a test drive. I need six assault rifles, two or three ammunition loads for each, plus a dozen other internal batteries and two external ones. I hope it's possible?-Yes. I've got everything ready. I just need to unpack and prepare the landfill." The representative began typing a message on the tablet.-Ok. And now let's talk about a special protective kit for the assault units of SovOil and the USSR. I saw the photos and read the reports of the testers, but I would like to try them on myself.- Let's go to the next room.
There will be two versions of this set at once.In the next room, there were two sets of armor on mannequins that resembled juggernaut armor variants, albeit not as bulky.I called my guys, and we began to put on armor and had a couple of training fights. I liked both sets, thanks to the special material, I managed to save weight without sacrificing protection. Although the first option was more protected, it was too bulky and, as the first tests showed, only Private and I could safely work in it, and even then I could not stay in it for a long time.
The second option was more balanced, although it did not give the same degree of protection. If the first option allowed you to calmly withstand a burst from a machine gun, then the second one is no longer there. Although this can be leveled by using cover, but in the case of TT, sometimes you have to evacuate under enemy fire, while protecting the client.- We take it.
- Taking off my helmet, I say to the representative.- And which one? - he asked, looking at my guys, who began to argue about both the pros and cons of the armor.- We take both options. And for the drive test, select two heavy options for me and one of my guys. Give the rest the second, lightweight, version of the set.Apparently not even believing that he was so lucky, the representative of the research institute almost dropped the tablet and his jaw.And I took a closer look at the helmet and thought about what to draw on it.
End of flashback.Having finished with the last preparations, we took up positions on either side of the entrance to the main hall.Exhaling, I give the go-ahead to the Private, who kicks down the door, and grenades fly into the opened doorway.A moment later, the room became light, as if the sun had risen there. A bloody sun.
