Leaving Yanov Station around 6am, I found two Boars going down the road moving south, and I went that way too. Luckily for them I was watching when a Chimera attacked them which got a big zap from my Gauss gun. I decided to leave the Boars alone and diverted eastward towards the Quarry, but I did hear a Bloodsucker that may have been going for them next. Descending into the Quarry on the western side, I saw Zombies at the bottom at the northern side next to the boulder, but I didn't want to go that direction and I continued south on the mid-level shelf, coming up out of it in the south-west corner.

This was just behind the spot south of the Anomalous Grove where I was always finding Zombies lately. I shot them but did not loot them. I continued up the hill going directly to the Checkpoint where I found five bandits under attack by mutant dogs. Once we got control of the situation, I found one Bandit dead with an SVU I sold him, and another wounded I gave a medkit to. I had a PKM, SVU and TRs-301 to sell but no one had enough money for them. I was only able to sell a pistol and some vodka.

Looking behind the Checkpoint, I found a lone Zombie halfway up the hill coming from the Parking Lot. I came back and dumped some low-grade excess loot on a dead body. Hanging out there for a while, I shot a lone Pseudodog that attacked us from the north. Still with the Bandits I now detected eight people around me but looked and did not see any new Bandits arriving in any direction. Cautiously I went out the south end and around the building to the west and peeked around the corner to see three Zombies already on top of the hill and coming around on the northern side to attack the Bandits. However, they instead changed direction to go north along the rim and seemed to be headed straight to the road. I let them go and used the time to go to the south-east and survey the great concrete basin, not seeing any men or mutants there.

Going back to the Checkpoint, I entered the two-story tower and awaited the slow-moving Zombies coming up the western road. I decided to shoot a couple of them I could see, since the Bandits were more focused on following me. I left the building and went around the back again but this time looking down below into the Parking Lot and finding some Zombies there that I shot. To the north I saw there was still that one Zombie left who the Bandits were engaging. Since the Zombie was getting close, I went ahead and shot it in the head, getting the satisfying flip in the air. I then went and partially looted all three for food, medkits and some ammo. The Bandits arrived and took the rest.

Now with more loot than I had to sell, I decided to go back to Yanov Station. Again, I found Zombies south of the Anomalous Grove that I killed but did not loot. I made my way back to Yanov without further incident and spent some time there processing the loot and then setting out again to sell weapons. Going out the door by the train tracks, I headed towards the Mobile Lab but soon came across more Zombies that I did a partial loot of, leaving behind the junk weapons. I stopped at the Mobile lab and talked to Topol for a moment, listening to him tell me what he knows again.

I was hoping to find either Freedom or Duty to sell weapons to at Volkhov, but it has really become a death spot with too many mutants and too few Stalkers there to control it. I saw mutants fighting each other and I started shooting all of them. At the main building I found one dead Dutyer but my visibility detector went off and I scurried inside the building, hearing the heavy breathing of a Bloodsucker. I moved inside the caged area and waited until the Bloodsucker got impatient and came in after me. Much easier to kill them when there's only one angle of attack.

There was no point in hanging around Volkhov. It was just too dangerous so I left it going north and down into Kopachy Village, staying close to the barbed wire fence and heading towards the Ash Heap Anomaly where I found three Loners. The squad leader was too busy going into the Anomaly field, so I was not willing to go in there just to talk to him. I moved north-eastward and soon came upon three yellow NPCs on my Mini-Map and realized they were below ground in the train tunnel. I could hear the groan of a Controller and knew what to expect as I was not quick enough to save anyone, watching the yellow indicators disappear one by one.

I killed the Controller with my Gauss gun and then went inside to find that Freedom and Duty had either killed each other died fighting the Controller, or both. I looted the two dead Freedom and two dead Duty soldiers but left behind pistols and low-grade rifles. I left the tunnel of death and went back to the Ash Heap Anomaly and waited for the Loner squad leader to come out of the Anomaly field and that is where the video ends.
