ШУМНОЕ, Sakhal.

I wake up from a nightmare. Face down in black sand. Looks like I made it to Sakhal, but where are the others I saw when boarding the refugee ships from the mainland? Has the Sakhal archipelago been overrun already? Only one way to find out... — Unknown Survivor

Thankfully the water wasn’t as cold as the weather, but that doesn’t matter, it’s freezing anyway.. and there is most definitely, someone else around.. there were several gunshots in the distance, around ~3.5 KM’s away, probably at some military base or something… At least you have a badly damaged Steak Knife, it could be used in a pinch…

A Corpse lays on the road… you should get used to them, you’re gonna see more…
