In 2031, a world war took place, it wasn't like any other war humanity has experienced. It was a NUCLEAR war. The war caused all of world's governments and economies to collapse. 65% of the earth's surface has been scorched, some places became deserts, some became highly-radiated forests. However, it didn't stop people from forming small confederations, with their own government and laws, even electricity. But it doesn't prevent the chaos from taking place, a large criminal group, in a confederation in eastern Europe had been terrorizing their civilians for decades, and the government of the confederation couldn't do anything about it. The organization has more than 120 people serving there, all equipped with guns, swords, and clubs. The government had no control over them as they didn't have a stable militia. Therefore, the Criminals have been feeding off the confederation, keeping it alive.
My name is Sartai, I'm 19, and I've lived here since the war happened, I was only 11 back then.
Me and my former classmates have formed a small group, once a week we've been going outside the border in hope of finding some useful tools, materials, hopefully food.
Our confederation is in the middle of a wasteland, 130km in diameter.
The reason why we live here is because the area has been the most densely populated, so the government decided for us to stay here.
Me and my friends are now waiting in a train for our stop, we are in a thick tunnel that prevents the radiation reaching us.
Announcement: Passengers, we are now entering the Dead-zone, please put on your masks.
Sartai and his friends proceed to put their masks on, and right after that, the train stops as they've reached their destination.
They leave the train and go outside.
Our group consists of 5 people:
Yelen, Tamai , Kondo , Ikku, and me.
Ikku is our leader, he has been leading us for a while now.
Ikku: Alright everyone' let's head out now.
as the train leaves, the group now moves towards the border
Yet, loud bike sounds would be heard in the train tunnel
Yelen: It's them..
Ikku: Crap! everyone, follow me!
8 men would be seen on bikes going through the tunnel, equipped with wires, maces and spiky clubs.
The group proceeds to hide behind a small hut near the railway
as the criminals go outside the tunnel, they start to pull people with their wires, throwing them on their necks and dragging them through the rough ground.
Ikku: Dang it, we'll have to cancel for now..
2 days later, back in their home, they all would sit at a table
Yelen: These criminals sure are a pain..
Kondo: I agree, but we can't really do anything about it.
Ikku: dang it...
Sartai would speak out of silence:
They only take 5% of their whole organization to sack the railway street, so they don't have that much of a superior number.
Ikku: Hey, you're right...
Tamai: Ikku, you know how to make explosives, right?
Ikku: Yes, why?
3 hours later, they all go to sleep, planning to fight the criminals the next week.
Sartai enters the bedroom, and lies on the bed.
Ikku: It's okay Sartai, we'll get them.
Sartai: I didn't say anything..
Ikku: I can see that you're scared, but no matter what we go through, we have a chance.
