The Exclusion Zone: Nuclear Plant: Zombie Infestation Oksana by @EternaSky Katya by @Bobbie

About this image

A gritty post-apocalyptic firefight unfolds as a military squad collapses into a ruined industrial complex, blasting away at approaching zombies. The scene features smoky skies, orange muzzle flashes, and muddy, distressed gear, with a radiation sign and decayed infrastructure in the background to convey a grim dystopian mood.

So, we do a Recon near the NPP after an Emission hit, checking for new Artifacts. Instead, we find the place full of zombies. As the bullets start flying, this woman comes out of nowhere, lending us a.... well, firearm. Afterwards, she didn't want to stay around. Said only her name is Katya Belova. I have a feeling, though, we'll be seeing her again.... @Bobbie @EternaSky @Sealine @dirty_biker @CaylaCatz @nametaker @TTRPG_Player @legion @DavidP @jmn

It's the only way you can cope with everything. I really don't know. Oksana ana Fang Wu Min keep mum about it, under orders by the Diractorate (see @EternaSky 's Stalker blogs for details) just vague talk about "instant healing" and "dire side-effects' So, it's green-glowing vodka for me!

🤣 You're too funny. I guess in the Zone you have to keep up a good sense of humour. What do you think might be in that yellow liquid? It's not like what makes yellow snow, is it?

thank you very much, Bobbie! Don't worry, Oksana is a tough gal! (Plus, she has that weird healing yellow liquid. I never go near that stuff...I 'm okay with green-glowing vodka)

oh no!!!! they're outnumbered! I think the next person who shows up needs to make an ammo delivery, lol.

I’ll take some green glowing vodka too. I tink i had one the other night…

Hard to say....She came out of nowhere and durimg the whole time of the fight she was screaming to the zombies.... THINGS.... that made even me, who was 8 years in the Army and 6 years a Stalker blush to my ears. Hell, even my ears' EARS were blushing! She sure hat is for those zombies, that's obvious. Afterwards, she didn't stay around, just said her name is Katya Belova... What was that Ranger guy's name.... Walker? Is Walker a translation of Belov?....

Great work! I love the addition of new characters, and this is such a dynamic scene! Coming off reading your comments on my blog. Is this medium? If so, wondering if you'd be willing run the same the prompt in high. Sending you a tip, hoping you'll use to try high and share the results.

It's getting really crowded in the Zone! It's great. Yeah, Walker, Texas Ranger. Chuck Norris. Hmmm good question. What language is Belov? Google will know. Google knows all. She makes you blush??? Better watch out or your vampire girlfriend might get jealous and bite someone!
