" Therefore, the essence of the world is pain. Was that so?』
Dr. Loshkarov looked at the little boy in front of him and his compassionate eyes that should not be possessed by his age. He replied seriously,"" To a certain extent, yes. But we have to learn to…to defeat him.』
"Beat who? Little Andre asked.
This world. 'said Loshkarov.
'What should I do?』
Dr. Loshkarov smiled and shook his head subconsciously. He knew that his son had asked a question that no one could answer. But he still tried to answer,"Somewhere above our heads, there is a kingdom called Heaven, where there is a kind old man whose name is God." God created everything. Maybe one day, you can go to him and help me, my mother, and the other little friends ask him what we can do to…to defeat this world…'
Andrei Loshkarov recalled the conversation with his father. Although it could not be said to be complete, most of Andre's worldview was deeply influenced by his father. The despair towards the world, the compassion towards other lives, and the hatred towards God. These traits in his thinking came from his father. It was precisely because of this that he did not believe that the researcher sitting in front of him was the " father's colleague " that he claimed to be, nor did he believe that " all of this was arranged by your father." Because this man and the soldiers he brought were rude and ruthless. They killed the driver who had helped out of kindness. They confiscated everyone's communication devices. Soldiers with guns were guarding the passengers in each car so that everyone would shut up and not say anything about what happened to them.
The soldiers in Gomere's military uniform, who had trident shield armbands embroidered on them, continued to drive the people shrouded in fear toward the unknown. In the next few days, they avoided the main roads and often drove on sparsely populated roads. However, they were able to pass through all the military and customs checkpoints smoothly. It was obvious that they did not intend to stay in Lech as they had promised at the beginning. Instead, they continued to travel westward through more than half of the northern world's territory. In the end, they stopped at the edge of a small hill. According to the geographical features nearby, Andre speculated that it was the border of Francesca, close to Helveti, where his father's office was located.
The soldier with the gun shouted for the passengers to get out of the car. The leader said," Many of you should have guessed it. This is the National Nature Reserve in the Jura Mountains beside Helveti. On the other side of the mountain is the city of Genoa, where our organization is located. Your refuge camp is on the mountain." We've established a military quarantine zone. I hope everyone can live happily here.』
[What is your purpose?] a traveler asked.
'Purpose? There is no purpose. I have already told you, since we are all friends of Dr. Loshkarov. Then I'll advise you to obediently take refuge here. It's better than us sending you back to the land of mines and bombs!』
"We don't need to go back. Let us go here and we'll find a place to stay ourselves!』
" You've already forgotten what happens to those who don't cooperate? The researcher touched the frame of his glasses and glared at the person who asked the question.
Seeing that no one spoke anymore. The soldiers then escorted this group of terrified people up the mountain. The path up the mountain was a tree-lined path. When they reached the top of the mountain, the trees began to decrease and the rocks began to be exposed. There were many soldiers of the Northern Alliance standing guard there. They had pulled a wire fence and quickly built some temporary housing units with low-cost materials. These houses were wrapped in a simple canvas. The roof was hollow, and the inner walls were filled with sand, straw, and even garbage for insulation, overall stability, and noise reduction. A solar panel was placed on the roof of each room. They let the families choose their own houses and told them that they could move freely within the barbed wire. Food, water, and daily necessities would be transported up from below regularly, all free of charge. The soldiers would not interfere with their lives, but if they wanted to leave, they were not allowed to. The Strelitschenko family also chose a house on high ground, which was slightly further away from the other houses. They liked a quiet place. Only Andre and his mother were taken down the mountain from the other side by the 'staff' and a few soldiers.
Where are you taking us? Andre asked angrily.
" Go see your father. Don't tell me you want to live on this mountain with them?』
My father? Impossible! He couldn't have arranged all of this!』
Why not? the man asked sarcastically.
How could he do such a thing? You tricked my classmates and their families into coming here and imprisoning them on this mountain?!』
Imprisonment? I advise you not to use such words when you go out. Your father has signed a confidentiality agreement. Remember, you are not allowed to tell any outsiders about what you have seen along the way. If you go out and spout nonsense, you will endanger your father!』
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw a car coming from afar and stopping in front of them. It was Andre's father, Salma Nassar, who had rushed over from the laboratory. He rushed over and hugged his son and wife, kissing their cheeks. Seeing that they were expressionless, he asked,'Is everything alright?』
Did you ask them to do all this? asked Andrei Loshkarov.
His father signaled to the people around him that they needed some private space to talk. They walked away, and the professor said,""Ah, child. Listen to me, you may not understand what I'm doing right now. But I assure you, it was all for the best.』
Andre looked into his father's eyes in shock and said," It's really you! Do you know that they killed someone? Do you know that the people I brought with me are imprisoned on the top of the mountain?! Is this what you did? Is this still something that humans do?』
Professor Loshkarov looked around and put his hands on the shoulders of his hate-filled son. She said softly in a gentle tone,'Trust me, my child, and you, Lala. I love you all. I can't say anything now because I have to keep my work a secret, so I can't tell you why I made this arrangement. If I tell you why I'm doing this, or anything else I'm really thinking, I'll be fine. It might endanger you and everyone on the mountain. Please believe me. I've arranged a place for you in Renaya City. During this period of time, you must watch your mouth and not talk nonsense. Soon, not long after, when my work is done, I promise you that all of this will end.』
"Go and live by yourself! I want to live on this mountain. " His son said lightly, then turned around and walked up the mountain. Rahle looked at her son, then at her husband, and shook her head. She went to chase after her son. The professor could only watch helplessly as the two of them walked away.
" This is good too. Things are simpler. At this time, another officer came out of the bushes and patted Professor Loshkarov's shoulder.
Andrei Loshkarov and his mother returned to the refugee camp on the mountain and chose a house to stay in. He came to the crowd to calm them down. He asked everyone what they needed and then went to the soldiers who were guarding them to ask for it. He became their first volunteer, and later became the leader of the group of volunteers, which was formed by Suzanna, Yehudi, and some of his former classmates. They explained how to install electrical circuits and equipment, and how to improve the water, hygiene, and living conditions of the camp. They helped the workers in charge of transporting food and supplies from the foot of the mountain to the top; He organized performances and entertainment to soothe everyone's wounds. Even though he could not answer the greatest anxiety of those people: Why were they imprisoned here? However, seeing Andre's actions, they felt a little relieved.
What Andrei had done for everyone, was something that even Aleksey Strelitschenko had seen. Although he really wanted to join the volunteer team to help, his overly shy personality made him unable to open his mouth. One day, his uncle fell ill. Andre acted like his own family was sick. He got up in the middle of the night to find a doctor. He even helped them carry his uncle onto a stretcher and then carried him to the medical room for surgery. Alexis was very touched by this. After that, he mustered up the courage to go to Andre and thank him,""Thank you very much for this! By the way, if you have any problems, I can also help…"
'Thank you. But your uncle is sick, and you still have to take care of your family. Moreover, we have enough manpower at the moment. If there's a need, we'll definitely call you! Andre patted her shoulder.
Not long after, her uncle died of a lung infection due to a serious illness. They held a funeral for him, right here on the hill. At this moment, an officer wearing a mask walked over and said to everyone," I didn't want to alarm you, but now that someone has died, it seems that I can't continue to hide it from you. You may not know the recent situation of the war, but because the Ma countries do not have the confidence to defeat our Northern Alliance, they have placed some kind of biological weapon in Gomez ahead of time-a highly contagious virus. Before you came here, our intelligence agency learned that the driver who transported you was infected, and then we deduced that the people in these three cars were poisoned. Although the rate of severe cases is very low, the reason why you are isolated here is to prevent this incident from causing large-scale social panic. At the same time, you are isolated from the outside world. Our organization at the foot of the mountain is developing an antidote. It will soon be put into clinical use. When the time comes, you can go down the mountain in batches to receive treatment. Then, you can leave after signing a confidentiality agreement.』
" Then why didn't the soldiers who transported us wear masks? someone asked.
" Because this matter was classified at that time. They were only responsible for carrying out missions. the officer replied.
