Chapter 69: The Eve

July 30, 2330 hours, Shepetovka Suburb.

Suddenly, in the dark, a sharp command rang out, "Halt, don't move!"

Immediately, someone indeed stood up and shouted, "I am a worker from the Shepetovka Textile Factory, representing the Worker's Protection Squad here to make contact!"

The Sentinel stood up, turned on his flashlight, and in the beam of light, an old worker shielded his eyes with his hand.

The Sentinel turned off the flashlight and called out to the back, "Hurry, inform the squad leader—no, inform the platoon leader that an old worker has arrived!"

The old man quickly caught up and approached the Sentinel, "Young man, from your accent, you must be from Vishensk, aren't you? Do you know Alyosha?"

"There are many named Alyosha," the Sentinel laughed, "our Front Army Commander is also nicknamed Alyosha. Which Alyosha are you referring to?"
