And, what if, they come from the Old Base and go away to the Old Base! The commotion inside the office suddenly died. - Perhaps, you would like an example - my pleasure! One such comrade has been sitting here with us since morning! I am talking about you, comrade! Puchko pointed at Felix Rybkin with his glasses. The office burst out laughing. Opanasenko said in an echoing bass voice: - Come on, Zakhar, this is our Rybkin. Felix shook his head, scratched it at the back and looked at Natasha askance.
Very interesting, - Rybkin said. - And there is something strange with the Old Base. - I have gone there with the guys, - Natasha said. - When they were still building our observatory. Nothing special. Cement blocks, all cracked up, grown over by haloxylon. You also think, that the leeches crawl from under there? - I am certain of it, - Rybkin said. - There is a huge leeches' nest, Natasha. Right under the hill there is a giant cavern. And, possibly, it connects to other underground hollows. Although I never found these passages.
Right in half. - Yeah, this is no carabine. - Felix, and how come they didn't give them to all of us? Felix replied: - Yurkovski only brought twenty-five units. - Pity. It's a sound weapon. All of a sudden there was shooting on the eastern side. Yura was waving his head with excitement, but couldn't see anything. Above the ruins, hissed and burst a rocket, launched from some other tank. Felix fired one more time. - The grenade, - he said loudly. The cannonade, with short intervals, lasted about twenty minutes.
