The man was wearing a jacket resembling a raincoat with a hood, in sweatpants, rubber boots on his feet, and his face was hidden under a gas mask.  He pulled out a sharpened stick and jumped on the infected.  The survivor stabbed the monster's head through.  On Vlad, as well as in all directions, splashes of slurry flew.  The man turned towards the guy and gestured "let's go".  The guy still could not make out the face of the stranger, although he was standing close.  When they ran out from behind the winds, they saw three infected people walking towards them.  Vlad prepared for the attack, the man too.  But, as evil, they were noticed by mutant dogs.  The survivor grabbed the guy's hand and ran back with him.  They ran back to where this guy came from.  Ahead, the guy saw a ladder and climbed up after the man.  He turned around and saw a pack of mutant dogs, followed by three infected.  The survivor pulled out a grenade and shouted.

- Catch, bitches!

He threw her, and Vlad and he himself, meanwhile, managed to climb to the floor above.  Explosion.  Vlad saw the ceiling begin to fall off.  The stranger's voice struck the guy as strange, as if feminine.  The survivor told him:

- What are you staring at?  How does a ceiling fall apart never seen before?  Let's run soon!

-You saw it.  And where did you get the idea that these were bitches, not males?

- Firstly, the pooch mutants, not dogs, in our time they are very aggressive and can attack the dogs first, well, or they were hungry, and secondly, - the man began to take off the gas mask.  - I'm not a guy.

- Seriously?!  Wow.

- Okay "wow", let's go.  By the way, what is your name?

- Vlad.

- Katia.  Nickname "Magpie".  You have a cry...

- No.  - Vlad interrupted her.

- Got it.  Let's go already.

- Where?

- To the base.  Maybe they will take you to us.

- Okay.  I don't care where to go.

Katya went to the stairs leading to the roof, Vlad followed her.  When they climbed, the girl went to the fire escape, which miraculously survived and on which she climbed here.

- Where did the meteorite fall? - Vlad asked Katya going down the stairs.

- In the Pacific Ocean, closer to North America.

- They were not lucky...

- Who?

- Americans.

While the guy was descending, Katya managed to get off and knock out two infected.  And she did one without a weapon.  "This is a fight girl!" - thought the guy.  He asked:

- How far are we to moth?

- Where do you know the city center?

- The central square?

- Yes.

- Then I know.

- Here we go.

- It's about 20 minutes walk from here. - said Vlad.

- Yes, just put on a gas mask, well, just in case.

They went to the center.  We decided to go through the courtyards.  The couple went from the middle of Yaroslav the Wise Street to Vasyl Stus Street.  The road was long, but calm, so far they have met only a few infected.  Suddenly, Vlad saw some movement in one of the windows of a neighboring house, which completely collapsed on its side and fell to the ground.  Someone ran through the window, someone very large, definitely not a person.  But the guy couldn't see who it was.

They already passed the KEGI building.  It didn’t quite fall apart, but I don’t say it survived either.  There was definitely no one in the building, since all the corridors and offices and rooms were littered with.  Everything.  There was no one in the courtyard either, so the guys also walked calmly.

Passing the fence of the kindergarten, which bent in some places, they entered the courtyard of school number 25. There was practically nothing left of the building, especially from the older building, the younger one survived more, as it had fewer floors.  Entering the backyard and passing by the basketball and football field, they climbed over the fence and went into the courtyards.  During this time, they did not utter a word!

So they reached Vasily Stus Street.  The guy walked and looked at the former home of the house.  One of them fell on its side and crashed into the next one, thereby forming a huge arch.

- For the car!  - said Katya.

- What's wrong?

- See?

Vlad looked out from behind the car and began to look at some creature.  It was about two and a half meters tall.

- And who is it?

- The fat man is one of the types of infected.  So, take this.

Katya gave him a glock.

- Aim for the head.

- I warn you, I'm a bad shooter, I can miss.

- Come on, stop chewing snot here!  - said Katya.

The guy looked out from behind the car again and started aiming at the fat man.

- Right now you will kiss the asphalt.  - Vlad said in a whisper.

- Fire!  - Katya shouted.

Out of surprise, Vlad pulled the trigger and missed.  The fat man noticed them.
