вЂAll right, Artyom! YouвЂ™re too smart for your own good. But this thing, it ran off straight away. They attacked a patrol with nothing but their bare hands, marching straight into machine-gun fire. Lately theyвЂ™ve been lunging forward without hesitation. What? You think I donвЂ™t know what human footsteps sound like? And anyway, when have the dark ones ever run off like that? You know it yourself, Pyotr Andreevich. If they donвЂ™t respond, then shoot immediately! How do you know who that was? Maybe the dark ones are getting closer!вЂ™ Artyom hurriedly returned to the fire and flung an answer at Pyotr Andreevich: Someone was retreating into the depths of the tunnel, frightened away by ArtyomвЂ™s gruff voice and the rattling of his weapon.

He could hear quick, staccato footsteps in the darkness where moments ago heвЂ™d heard a strange rustle and hollow-sounding murmurings. He stood right at the edge of the lighted area and then, as loudly and threateningly as he could, he clicked the slide on his gun and shouted gruffly, вЂStop! Password!вЂ™ The Moscow metro is a form of transportation which involves a heightened level of danger.ДЄrtyom rose reluctantly from his seat by the fire and, shifting the machine gun from his back to his chest, headed towards the darkness.
