By the time the Shadow Shuttle docked on the shore, it was already dark, and although it was not completely dark, there was a bit of an eerie atmosphere between the gray and gloomy.

Xia Ran, who was carrying a package behind him, stuck out his tongue when he saw this scene and said, "It looks even more terrifying here than the black dock!"

Akita said: "Black Pier is a dock after all, but here it is a wasteland, comparable to Robinson's landing. ”

The gangplank had been erected, and the old gull stood on the deck and looked at the three young people in front of him and said, "My mission is over here, I wish you good luck." ”

"Thank you. Hugo thanked the old gull.

Lao Ou said: "No need to say thanks, it's just business." It's also a blessing to you, although there were a lot of episodes in this trip, fortunately, they all passed safely, and I got a lot of commissions. ”

Hugo smiled: "If there is a next time, I will still be your ship." ”

I didn't want the old gull to shake his head very seriously and said, "To be honest, from my personal point of view, I don't want you to enter the flow street again. "The atmosphere that had been very harmonious just now was stiffened by the indifference of the old gull.

However, Lao Ou didn't care about this, and went further: "I still don't have a deep understanding of your identity, but judging by my years of experience. You are an ominous person. ”

This sentence made the atmosphere in the room enter a kind of coldness again.

Akita, who didn't have much affection for Lao Ou on the side, frowned even more, and there was a faint murderous intent between his eyebrows.

Hugo maintained a very calm attitude towards this, and said with an indifferent smile after hearing this: "It's not the first time I've heard this statement, and it's accurate. ”

The old gull turned his head to look at the darkness outside and said: "For so many years, the flow street and the metropolitan area have been completely separated, although they live on the same continent, but the people on both sides have their own independent views and consciousness, which can be said to be completely strange. Although Liujie does not have the ambition of becoming an independent country, it also does not want to obey the metropolitan area. For us, the metropolitan area is just another existence. We don't need help from the metropolitan area in our lives, and we don't want the disaster in the metropolitan area to happen to us. ”

Hugo nodded and said, "I understand." Then he turned around and was about to leave.

But after taking two steps, he stopped, turned to the old gull and said, "But in any case, the people of both regions are witnessing the same sun rising and setting. There may be a big divergence of views between the two sides, but I believe that there may be some opportunity to get back together. ”

The old gull frowned and said, "Where does the confidence come from?"

Hugo laughed: "When facing the same enemy." ”

...

Looking at the figures of Hugo and the three of them gradually disappearing into the gloom, the old gull sighed helplessly.

Slowly raise your head and look at the night sky.

If we live under a single sky and enjoy the same light brought by the sun, how can we escape the same darkness brought by the night?

"Let's go. The old gull gave the order, and the Shadow Shuttle, which had been ready for a long time, quickly started and soon disappeared into the dark sea.

...

After experiencing the inspection and attack of the Tsukishima military, Hugo and Akita became more cautious in their actions, paying more attention to the rapidity and concealment of their actions. However, this is a bitter Xia Ran, who is relatively physically exhausted, he does not have the ability of the two of them, and he carries more weight, and after walking not far away, he is tired and out of breath, and his expression is miserable. There was no way, Hugo and Akita shared Natsuzen's equipment, and kept moving safely at the same speed as Natsuzome.

At this time, exactly three days had passed since Hugo and Akita left, and a lot of things had happened in these three short days, but the weather had not changed much, and the cold surrounded the three of them from all sides.

Xia Ran exhaled and said, "If I knew this, I would have died in my apartment, at least it would be much more decent than now." ”

Akita said: "Why are you, a person who was born in the north, so cold? I've gotten used to it these days, and I had the urge to die when I first came here!" Even so, Akita also wrapped his clothes tightly, and then said to Hugo: "I said that we won't just walk back to the thirteenth district, right, and there will be no one to relay after the old gull?"

Hugo shook his head and said, "I'll say hello before I come back, hold on a little longer, and things will be resolved soon." ”

The three of them walked for a while, Hugo, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and made a stop gesture to the two behind him, Akita and Xia Ran immediately thought that Hugo had discovered the signs of the Tsukishima military unmanned patrol aircraft, and couldn't help but subconsciously hold their breath.

I didn't want Hugo to feel any nervousness, but strode forward.

Hugo, who has night vision, saw a figure under a tree not far ahead, wearing a black deacon suit, looking over fifty years old, but it is difficult to tell whether its gender is male or female.

Hugo quickly recognized the man as Dr. Hua's chauffeur.

Seeing Hugo's calm expression, Akita and Natsuran also eased a lot, and they couldn't help but secretly marvel when they saw the elderly man in front of them through the hazy light.

"Are you the only one?" asked Hugo.

The older driver nodded.

"Please. Hugo knew that the other party was arranged by Dr. Hua to pick him up.

The older driver turned around and walked into the forest, Hugo beckoned Akita and Natsuzome to follow, and the group of four quickly walked hundreds of meters, and finally saw a car on a flat ground that intersected.

After the four of them got into the car, the older driver quickly started the car, although the surrounding terrain is relatively complicated, but the performance of the car is excellent, and the driving on it is also like walking on the ground.

Feeling the warm breath blowing from the air conditioner in the car, Akita and Natsu Ran both looked better and closed their eyes one after another to recuperate.

Hugo was in no mood to close his eyes and rest, and he could be said to be anxious about the current situation. Although he didn't feel that he was getting much useful information from the older driver's mouth, he tried to ask him questions.

"What is the situation in District 13 now?"

Surprisingly, the older driver did not treat Hugo coldly, and after a moment of thought, he spit out three words.

"It's bad. ”

These three words came out of the mouth of such an ancient person, which shows that the situation is really not optimistic.

The older driver's voice was low and had a somewhat shady aura, which made people feel quite uncomfortable, and Akita and Natsuran subconsciously shrunk their shoulders, but they were also very curious about the current situation in the 13th district, and they couldn't help but move forward to try to hear it.

Hugo said: "Is there a general view of the matter?"

The older driver shook his head slowly, but said something else: "The war has begun." ”
