The Zone’s dying light stains the world in deep violet and toxic yellow. A lone figure moves in the warehouse gloom, his silhouette defined by worn tactical gear and the steady beam of a shotgun-mounted flashlight. Ivan scans the dust-heavy air, watching for the telltale warp of an anomaly. Radiation hangs thick, a silent threat. As he slides the heavy door shut against the coming night, the last crimson rays of sunset slash through broken windows, catching the hard, watchful lines of his face. Alone, armed, and utterly alert, he braces for another endless vigil in the heart of the forbidden zone.
