Night fell, Winter Treasury City.
Da da (Footsteps).
Darwin walked in front while the two valiant soldiers followed behind. As soon as Darwin stopped, the two soldiers retreated behind the wall.
Since there were no street lights on this street, Darwin wanted to start shaking them off from here.
The two valiant soldiers were in hot pursuit of him, making it impossible for Darwin to escape. He clenched his fists, and a cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared without a trace.
"Oh no, I lost him!" The two valiant soldiers turned pale with fright and quickened their pace to charge forward.
Other than the sound of the wind, there was only the sound of their footsteps on the street. They looked around, but they couldn't find out where Darwin had run off to.
"What do we do now?"
"What can we do? What else can we do? Of course, we have to find him quickly."
The two of them did as they were told and immediately chased along the street.
At this moment, one of them squatted down and lowered his head to tie his shoelaces.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Another soldier turned around and asked him. At the same time, he was walking along the wall alone.
"My shoelaces are loose."
"I told you to put on your boots, but you didn't…"
Before he could finish, a palm suddenly rushed out from the corner of the wall. He covered the soldier's mouth so that he couldn't make a sound.
The next second, when he wanted to struggle, he was stabbed in the neck by a dagger.
Shua---
"Woo…"
Hearing his voice, the soldier on the street hurriedly tied his shoelaces and called out to him.
Darwin pulled out the dagger and stabbed it again. He stabbed the enemy five or six times. The enemy's wound bled non-stop and he died on the spot.
The valiant soldier on the street quickly stood up and rushed to the corner. At the same time, he hurriedly removed the rifle from his back.
Unexpectedly, Darwin was already charging towards him.
He cried out in shock and stood there in a daze as if he had seen a ghost. In the next second, his throat was grabbed by Darwin and he hurriedly retreated.
His face was pale and his eyes were wide open. Her mouth was wide open and she could not breathe.
"Clang!" He punched Darwin to resist. Darwin took a punch in the face, but he gritted his teeth and held on. Then, she used her other hand to stab the dagger into his forehead.
In the end, he let out a " hiss " and stopped struggling. Darwin let go of his throat, and his whole body leaned back and fell to the ground.
Darwin let out a sigh of relief. He bent down and pulled out the dagger, then used the enemy's clothes to wipe away the blood. He stood up and put the dagger back on his waist.
"Ding, ding…"
At this moment, Darwin's phone rang again. He walked forward as if nothing had happened and took out his phone to check.
"I've encountered danger and can't go to the place to pick you up. you wait there, someone else will come and get you-Ryder. Miller."
After reading this message, he was stunned. Thinking about it, how long had it been in between? How could something have happened to Miller?
Turning off the phone screen, he breathed heavily. Whether he should go or not, he fell into a dilemma again.
.
12th Street.
"I'm staying at the hotel-ah!" With his head down, Darwin pulled open his jacket and quickly rummaged through his hidden pocket for his identification documents.
However, when she raised her head inadvertently, she gave him a big fright.
There was a chubby woman sitting at the counter with a white mask on her face. Was he doing this in the middle of the night to stop the guests from staying in the hotel?
"She's wearing a facial mask.”She was still painting her nails as she looked up at Darwin, as if she was specifically looking at him.
Because she was wearing a mask, Darwin couldn't see her face clearly. He hurriedly handed her his identification card and asked her to register it before turning around and walking to the second floor.
He pushed open the door to Room 7. Darwin turned on the switch on the wall and the dark room instantly lit up.
Darwin froze on the spot. Seeing the monotonous and simple furnishings in the room reminded him of the days when he used to sleep in the trenches.
" Phew…" Darwin locked the door from the inside and lay down on the bed.
He lay limply on the bed, half-awake and half-asleep. Somehow, he fell into a dream…
.
A huge nuclear missile fell from the sky and destroyed the entire north.
Just as the Clancy and Moors in the south were cheering for the victory of the war, a bunch of half-human, half-monster creatures crawled out of the ruins in the north.
They launched a terrifying revenge against the Southern Federation.
In this dream, what left a deep impression on Darwin was that he was running with a little girl in his hand, while those monsters were chasing after him.
As they ran, the two of them reached a bridge. Suddenly, Darwin felt his hand go " empty ".
When he looked back, the little girl had already fallen into the river. She was struggling on the surface of the water for help.
Darwin panicked. He laid on the bridge and held a bamboo pole down. "Quick, grab this!"
Darwin turned his head and looked behind him. The monsters were about to reach the bridge.
Two government soldiers rushed to the scene in time and fired at the monsters. Countless bullets pierced through their bodies. Even though their heads were shot off, their bodies were still running forward.
The two government soldiers saw that the situation was not right and were about to run back when they were chased by those monsters. After a scream, both of them died.
Darwin didn't want to become one of them. He was so scared that tears flowed out of his eyes. "Hurry up!"
The little girl grabbed the pole and cried loudly.
However, he didn't expect the weight to get heavier and heavier. No matter how hard he tried, Darwin couldn't move the little girl. Instead, he was dragged down by her.
"Come up quickly!" Darwin bellowed.
The more critical the situation was, the more his body could not exert any strength. With a splash, Darwin's entire body fell into the water.
.
His body suddenly became empty, causing Darwin to open his eyes and wake up from his dream.
Why did he have such a weird dream?
Darwin rolled over and recalled the scene in his dream. Wasn't that the bridge in his hometown? He didn't dare to think about it further. It was really terrifying.
The heater in the room was on, which made Darwin's head heat up. He pulled the blanket off the bed and covered it properly, then opened his eyes to think.
"Ka, ka…"
"..." Darwin was most unwilling to hear any noise. He turned over and wanted to continue lying down.
Darwin didn't have many requests, or perhaps he hadn't made any excessive requests to his superiors in the past ten years.
He just wanted to stay away from the war, away from the smoke of gunpowder, and have a good sleep.
"Crack, crack…"
"..." Darwin couldn't take it anymore. He raised his head and looked around, his face still blank.
"Crack, crack…"
This time, Darwin finally heard it clearly. The voice came from outside.
Hence, he turned his head to look at the glass window on the bed. She wouldn't know if she didn't look, but she was shocked when she saw it.
A young man was huddled under the glass frame. He looked like he had been standing there for a long time.
Darwin tried to pull the window open, but he couldn't move it no matter how hard he tried. Only then did he realize that the window was locked. So he quickly unlocked the door, allowing the young man outside to finally see the heater in the room.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Darwin questioned him strangely.
The young man's face was red. He was wearing a cap and carrying a one-shoulder bag.
He leaned against the window frame and sat in the middle with one foot inside and the other outside.
He hummed and showed Darwin the fresh bread in his bag.
Darwin didn't look at the bread in his bag. Instead, he looked down curiously. He saw a long staircase below. No wonder this youth would appear on the window platform on the second floor.
"Ang, ah ah."
Darwin realized that he was mute. Seeing his pitiful appearance, the anger in his heart did not subside for a moment. "Are you going to sell me bread?"
The young man nodded and quickly took one out of his bag for Darwin.
Darwin was stunned. He looked at the bread in the young man's hand and then looked up at his face.
" Alright." Darwin honestly admired these small businessmen. They would do anything to sell things. "How much?" he asked the young man. I'll buy it."
The young man pointed at 1.
"But, I only have 1 platinum coin at the very least?”Darwin's tone seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him.
Platinum coins were the most expensive currency on the Warfire Continent. It was impossible for ordinary small merchants to find them.
The young man shook his head and insisted on shoving the bread into Darwin's hands.
Darwin took the bread. It was soft to the touch and smelled very fragrant.
Then, the young man took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Darwin.
This made Darwin look at the youngster in a new light. He smiled at the young man and saw the notebook he handed over. There were scribbles in Keskill.
Translated to:
[I'll eat you first (there's some space in the middle). I'll go back and get some coins (gold coins).]
Darwin nodded and understood what he meant. He then returned the notebook to him. "Alright, I'll wait for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Darwin handed him a platinum coin, but the young man insisted on not taking it. He repeatedly pointed out the words he had just written in his notebook to Darwin. The meaning was clear.
Finally, the young man climbed down the ladder. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
.
Darwin opened the window for the sake of the young man.”He thought.
The wind blew in, as if it was sending a message.
Darwin sat by the bed, one hand clenched tightly, the other holding a loaf of bread. He bent over and looked at the ground, then inadvertently took a bite of bread.
The bread was soft, and it tasted better than the ones sold in the big shopping malls.
Bread was still the same bread, no matter what environment it was made in...
"Bah! How did you get a note?" Darwin frowned and blinked hard.
He used his hand to pull out the other half of the note from the bread and saw that it seemed to have something written on it.
Darwin placed the bread on the table and flipped the note over.
"You've been tricked!"
After reading this, Darwin's hands trembled. With a tremble, the note in his hand fluttered to the ground.
He didn't say a word, his heart sinking. At this moment, a fierce quarrel came from downstairs.
"Eh? You guys want to stay in the hotel without registering? All of you…"
"Bang!"
Bang! Bang bang bang! Bang!
A few gunshots woke Darwin up. However, it was already too late.
