At the time of that war, I had been a night watchman for half a year. The enthusiasm of reciting the oath to death has passed, and it is gradually settled in the ordinary in the fixed patrol and vigilance tasks.

At that time, I fell in love with a girl and spent my days immersed in all kinds of good and bad fantasies about the future. The land of snow is always like spring all year round, but I find this tiresome as well. Eternal spring, eternal wind and snow isolated by barriers, eternal peaceful life day after day.

In fact, peace has only been settled in this icy land for three years, and I think it's a little too long.

At that time, I was wandering in a time of peace, but I didn't know what peace was.

That day, while on patrol, I smuggled an invitation to the prom into the window of the girl who had creeper climbed up the window. Dodging the girl's mother's inquiring gaze, she didn't squint, straightened her waist, and left energetically. I knew my girl was looking at me, and I could imagine her slightly flushed cheeks and twinkling gaze.

So until an hour later, I was still fantasizing. I wondered if she would miss her appointment because her mother had found out, if she would wear the little grass-green dancing shoes I had given her, if she would have her long hair coiled up to reveal her mesmerizing slender neck.

So, although the sun has just risen, I am already looking forward to the gentlest sunset.

But there was no sunset that day......

Before noon, the sky was already gray, and the sparse snow fell on the huge barrier of the Snow Country, melting into a part of the barrier.

While I was looking up at the sky and feeling sorry for the lack of stars and moons at the ball, a sharp alarm had already sounded throughout the Snow Country. And on the city in the sky, a dazzling red light flickered.

"Zizi...... Snow Country Homeland Defense Directorate, all ministries of night watch, please note, level 5 war alert. Next, please follow the orders of the commanders," I heard from my wireless headset.

Then there was another sizzle of channel switching, and the crisp voice of our captain rang out in my headset. "Ladies and gentlemen of the 3rd Brigade, our task is to guide the masses into war shelters. I know your location through the headquarters, and then I will assign the team mission area, the first squadron north gate and the first area, after the completion of the evacuation mission, you will go to the west gate to participate in the defense work, and the second squadron will ...... The 9th Squadron is responsible for guiding the evacuation work in the 7th and 9th areas of the South Gate, and after the mission is completed, it will assemble with the 7th and 8th units to wait for the order......"

"Nourish...... Everyone, use the shadow clone to increase the number of people to guide evacuation, Yasuda, Fujiwara, you are faster, please help the special people with limited mobility to evacuate. Others, in the place where they are in charge of guarding, to maintain order and guide evacuation, Hanomiya"

"Yes!" I shouted. There were already people around with packages and walking briskly to the shelter, all of which relied on the usual evacuation drills.

"Yasuda's area is connected to you, and you are in charge of two areas. ”

"Yes!" I slowly calmed down, and there were already people in the surrounding houses rushing to the shelter with large bags and small packages. Snow Country has always had evacuation drills, so there is not much chaos, but there is never a shortage of people in the world who have evil thoughts because of chaos, and this is what I do.

The rush of the crowd of people for refuge gradually converged, and the chaos in the rush finally began, I separated two shadow clones to maintain order, and I passed through the rush, punching the source of the chaos, and the young man stumbled and fell to the ground, and after looking at me in horror, he fled like a dog into the rush of refuge.

"Are you alright?" I said, turning back to the victim. It was an ordinary old man, with meticulously combed hair, oil-stained sleeves on his hands, and rough fingers that had cracked and bleeding from his nails because he had been trampled on. He clutched a package in his arms, and the blood from his fingers stained the floral cloth of the package, which was probably the cause of the confusion.

"It's no big deal, thank you!" he said in a hoarse voice, his hands straining to tighten the package in his arms a little tighter. Then, he immediately took a step.

That's when I noticed that one of his feet was lame.

"Please wait, I'll contact you to evacuate right away. ”

"No need, you don't have a lot of people, do you, don't look at me like this, I'm still walking pretty fast. The old man's shoulders rose and fell, and with a firm step, he squeezed into the crowd.

My gaze lingered only on the old man's back for a moment, and I had to pay attention to the gradually chaotic crowd.

The child who was pulled by his parents staggered and barely followed with his calves

A wealthy merchant who wants to wrap all the belongings in the house into his own package

An old man with a cane on a staggering walk

A pregnant woman who is separated from her husband and walks through the crowd with her belly guarded

There are also those retrograde people who think about their families and go in the direction of home.

"Yasuda, Madame Kim's jewelry store, there is a pregnant woman who needs help. In the noisy environment, I shouted, "Yasuda, do you hear me!"

"Can't you be quieter when you hear me?"

Yasuda jumped out of nowhere, his long sweaty hair sticking to his face, and his clothes were disheveled.

"Rude ma'am," he said straight past me, picked up the pregnant woman in the manner of a princess, and jumped onto the roof.

At the same time, in the distant sky, there was a huge sound of cannons.

And with the sound of this cannon, the rushing crowd suddenly became fierce and fast.

"Even the chakra cannon has been used!" I said, looking up at the western sky.

"Mr. Hanomiya, Mr. Hanomiya......" In the midst of the noise, I heard a familiar voice. Yes, her home is not far from here.

I turned my head to see that she was dressed in red, walking against the current of the crowd.

"Are all women in love fools!" I thought angrily, running towards her.

As I was about to walk in with her, she suddenly fell, and leaned on top of me. My lover's hand clasped me tightly.

"Mr. Hanomiya......" She looked up at me with teary eyes. Looking at such eyes, I can't say anything to blame.

"Mr. Hanomiya, please be careful!" she suddenly closed her eyes and bumped into my lips. My lips were cracked from such awkward collisions.

At the touch of a button, her face suddenly showed a touching and resolute expression, and she stared at my face as if she wanted to carve me into her eyes.

Then he slammed it in my chest and ran in the direction of the shelter.

"What a stupid woman!"

I looked at her back in amazement, and thought that blood was gradually oozing from her broken lips, and it flowed through the tip of my tongue, bringing a rich fishy sweetness.

And in the midst of this rich fishy sweetness, my headset came the next order from the captain.

"Hanomiya reports mission progress"

"We have entered the final stage of investigation. ”

"Very good, the clock tower will assemble in ten minutes, and we will go to war!"
