Having recieved such information in a suspicious letter, Klim decided to leave the town with his family straightaway. What's more, another catastrophe, yet to strike in about 20 years, was also mentioned. A few days before the catastrophe some information about the tragedy which was bound to happen soon had suddenly spread. Before the catastrophe Klim used to live in a small town named Chernobyl-1 (Pripyat's outskirts).
However, the protagonist has his own goal in the Zone. Klim has good reputations among the stalkers. He doesn't enjoy performing tasks, even well-paid ones, understanding that it's not always worth risking your own life for someone and that employers in the Zone are not always fair. The protagonist, Klim, is an experienced stalker who has spent 3 years in the Zone and has been earning money by hunting and selling artefacts.
