S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - Heart of Chornobyl #905: Find The Missing Loner
It was a bright sunny morning, when I left Zalissya going south. My goal was to go to the deep south of the Lesser Zone, to find a missing Stalker for Warlock. As expected, there were Bandits at the first Bus Stop on the road south. I took them out from afar and one unlucky Bandit fell into a chemical anomaly on the road, so I had to be careful looting him. I returned to Zalissya with the loot and was soon back on the road again.
I met some Loners and a Ward patrol near the Magnetic Cave. I continued south on the road, until I passed the bridge, and then veered off the road towards the Old Wall. It was an old perimeter wall that was broken in many places, due to age and anomalies. There was a Loner campfire in one corner. I passed through an opening and descended the hill, to help a Duty squad fight some Boars. I killed most of the Boars and no Dutyers were lost.
Afterwards I checked my PDA, for the location where I was to look for the missing Stalker. I headed to the northeast, that was south of the Sphere complex. I ran into Bandits in the woods, that took some maneuvering, due to them using good cover. When looting the dead Bandits, I found the Loner I was looking for dead among them. I grabbed his gun and PDA. There were some other hostile forces in the woods, closer to the house where I had found the wounded Loner in the care of the Noontide member.
I found some Ward at that deserted farmhouse and nearby two dead I.P.S.F. soldiers. I had killed the Bandits before the soldiers started shooting at me, so the only ones that could have killed them were the Ward. They usually left each other alone, so I wasn't totally sure who killed the soldiers. I looted them and then returned to the Levitating Silo, as it was called on my PDA. I took all the loot there to sort in my stash, and a storm blew in. Five I.P.S.F. soldiers came down the road towards me and I stopped them in their tracks. I went out to loot them, which was the best so far of the day. I took it back to my stash and started sorting a load to take with me.
