「 Girls' Frontline 」Nikolay's Journey

Chapter 10: Frozen Journey

Nadya: Tch... You alright?

R1s: I'm fine... It's just a scratch

Nadya: What are you talking about your coolant is leaking

Nadya kept on trying to stop R1s wound as it was really probable she would bleed out from it, R1s stood still as Nadya kept on trying to find the vain with her combat knife to remove the lead.

R1s: Ghnnnn... It's nothing lets keep moving, they will overrun us if we keep wasting time

Nadya: My priority is to bring you back alive so shut your filthy mouth

Nadya kept her view glued on the wound, slowly accomplishing to remove the stuck lead. After some more seconds of struggling the lead came out with a little burst of coolant with it. Nadya immediately after put the knife away and searched through her backpack something to seal the hole.

R3: Agh... How much till we finally get there?... Hey R1... R1?

R3 looked away from the road for a second to see her sister deep asleep in her seat, leaving her to be the only one awake and capable of driving.

R3: What a fun journey...

R3 decreased the car's speed as with one of her hands she kept on steering while the other tried to quickly grab the map from R1.

R3: For fuck's sake, I don't see bullshit...

R3 finally grabbed the map and decided to park by the side of the road for some time as it was getting really hard for her to multi-task.

As she parked the car and the engine died out into a low grumble R3 got out of the car and cleaned the snow out from the hood afterward putting the map on it.

R3: ... So... We probably were here... And we spent like 5 hours driving by the auxiliary roads... And the destiny point is this thing... So if we kept on driving by a steady 40 kilometers per hour... Agh who am I trying to trick! We got lost...

R3 slammed her head against the cold hood and cooled her head from the inner artificial warmth of the car.

R3: ... Maybe we should camp for the night... Ahg but she said we needed to be there pronto... Tch I will have to keep driving

R3 took the map and opened the door getting inside the car again and looking at the controls noticing how they were running out of antifreeze for the engine and the battery sign was flickering. R3 sighed as she once again slammed her head against the steering wheel and mumbled things under her breath.

R3 is pretty skillful in everything, repairs, medical care, tactical planning, you name it but all that got neglected by her inability of multi-tasking and not being capable of working properly under pressure. Stress quickly built inside her, she was left alone to carry her two sisters to the meeting point, both unable to drive or operate the vehicle through this thought winter night. Her job in the squad was simple, spray lead on the enemies and cover her squad as taking care of later damage, but in moments like this is where she, herself, felt useless.

R3: Mhhhhhhhh... Wait... *Raising her head* Didn't she say there were more supply points scattered around the area?

R3 quickly took the map and opened it again, this time looking at orange highlighted points.

R3: Yeah there are several... We missed one so I could reverse to it... Or we can keep on driving through this area... Agh...

R3 took her eyes off the map and looked at her sleeping sister and then via rear mirror stared at R5 still asleep occupying the three back seats.
