Watch out for the red light!!!

Was at a well in a town, staroye. Night time. All of a sudden the area was lit up with red light.......a minute maybe and the light went out. I continued to drink. Then I heard the tell tale sign of a shell coming in and boom. Gassed. Lol. Oh well. Ran like crazy and found a good spot to dump my gear...outside of the zone.....then went back and accepted my fate. Respawned and heading back now to go collect.
