Alex cursed when he heard the gunshot coming from outside. He looked through the door and saw the pair of his new companions jump into the armored vehicle and a remnant soldier shooting at he window. There was no way he was going to get out into the sight of that crazy bastard with the saiga, he wasnt drunk enough for that. He lifted his bottle and swallowed the whole content.
He gave another look outside and ran to the window. When he was near enough he jumped, crashing through the glass and and wood and came out in a side alley. He heard what they wanted to do, reach moscow. In order to do so, they would need him and he would hapily join themm he also knew which city exit they would take. He ran to that direction, moving through alleys and climbing over rubble, eventualy they alleys ended and he came outt ot the main street. He could still hear the gunfire behind him and he ran to the city gates. On the way he met a small patrol of Remnant soldiers, three men and one of the carrying a rocket launcher with another one carrying a grenade belt. "[cencored], that could make some problems."
He ran to them, one of them raising his weapon and aiming it at him.
"Wait dont shoot! The rebels are coming from there, stop them!" Alex cried and pointed toward the alley he came from. The patrol seemed to listen to him as they lowered their weapons and headed toward the alley. Once they passed him and he saw their backs he drew his weapon, the laser rifle and shot the three of them directly in the back of the head. They fell down to the ground, a smoking hole in each one's head. He grabbed a radio that was on one of the bodies.
He ran forward, to the gates. Ones he was there he noticed the guards, and they were ready for anything. Once he came to their sights they opened fire. He jumped back behind the building and screamed.
"Dont shoot me you bloody bastards! I'm not one of them!" He yelled to them. They seemed to listen because the stopped shooting. He peeked outside and noticed one of them motioning to him to come closer.
"What are you doing here? Where are the rebels?" One of the guards asked, appearently the leader of these guards.
"I dont want to be here when [Cencored] like this happens! im going out and ill return in a few days, once everything calms down. The rebels are still somewhere in the city." Alex cried when he was close enough for him to hear. The guards allowed him to pass and he ran outside. This was easier then i thought, Alex thought to himself.
He ran for a couple of minutes until he as out of sight, about 400 hundred meters away from the city and jumped behind some rocks and bushes and ducked down, completely hidden with his white coat and the snow around him. He scanned the walls, noticing one guard on one of the roofs with another rocket launcher. "Damn, where do they get these weapons?!" Alex whispered and took out his second weapon, a Dragunov Sniper rifle. He looked through the sights and aimed at the soldiers head, and not too late. The soldier raised his rocket launcher and aimed at something and Alex released a shot. The bullet zipped through the air and hit the soldier dorectly in the middle of the head. The soldier dropped down with a little spray of blood coming from his head and luckily for Alex, no one noticed it. A moment later the armored Remnant vehicle crashed through the other guards and kept on going. A wide smile spread on Alex' face, they got out!
He stepped out to the middle of the road, his arms raised above his hand holding the sniper rifle. When the vehicle got closer and started to slow down he yelled to them.
"If you want to get to Moscow you will need me! I was there, almost and you would need a sniper like me, unless you already have a beter one!" Alex cried with a laugh and a wide grin. "Damn, i hope they have some beer in this truck, because i sure need it." He finished with a whisper.
