The third book of the "Stalker-2" series. I immediately stepped forward, quickly cutting through the bushes with a machete. It takes a long time to walk around the overgrown ravine, and there are a lot of anomalies around. I can get through easily, but the company will probably get stuck. We frightened the wild boars in the copse and became frightened ourselves when they decisively rushed towards us. Fortunately, there was no shooting; I mentally pinned down the animals in time. Well-fed carcasses squealed and jumped over fallen trunks, showing real records in both length and height of jumps, just to avoid meeting us. And since wild boars lived here, there was no need to fear the appearance of other dangerous predators. The people walking behind pretty much drown out the mental sense; it is difficult to identify the threat in time only when it has already become completely obvious. Like with these wild boars. Having passed through the copse, we came to an open area overgrown with forbs and the wall of a spatial anomaly. There were no minefields here, because animals were actively roaming around, but there was some kind of hidden alarm system, which Vika noticed.
