Chapter 38: Empty Vegas (Part I)

It's been a long time since I've been able to lean quietly on the saddle and look into the distance, and the end of my vision is the end of the world.

――

Alice gets a position next to Mo Ye, and Mo Ye temporarily gets the driver's errand. The convoy put together 5 cars that could be used on the road, and everyone who could get on the cars (except the children) was a generalist, or to put it bluntly, in order to minimize the number of people, Mo Xie had to drive the car in shifts with Alice.

It was a jeep, but not Claire's, and the car that belonged to Claire had unfortunately been pierced by a bullet through the axle, otherwise Claire would have been reluctant to dismantle it.

There were four people in the car at this time, Alice and Mo Ye in the front, and Mickey and another girl in the back, I don't know if it was fate, the girl's name was "K. Matt", one of the few team members who left their names in the original show.

Alice reclined in her seat, her hands clasped over her chest, her gaze wandering.

The sunlight outside the window was a little dazzling, so her eyes fell on Mo Ye, who was holding the steering wheel.

Mo Ye's face was very stiff, as if it was cut out of a knife and axe, and Alice couldn't help but think of the time when she first saw Mo Ye when she asked the other party to strip to see her "innocence", and suddenly her face couldn't help but turn red.

"Why did this man obey me at that time? With a strong man like him, he could have avoided such 'humiliation'. Alice said in her heart, at this time she didn't know why she thought of these things, remembered the strong muscles of the man's body after taking off his clothes, remembered that the man obediently took the roller skate she handed and was dragged on his own motorcycle and galloped down the road. Maybe the sun is too dazzling, or maybe the 'Pure Land' that she has been pursuing for years is close at hand, and there is a powerful 'knight' by her side.

"Perhaps, he is interesting to me?" Alice is a person who has been through a lot of things after all, she has seen that she has a different status in the eyes of Mo Ye from others, but she doesn't want what she thinks to be true.

She, the most wanted criminal of the umbrella company, has nothing to do with her in the car, which is tantamount to seeking death.

"Mo Xie. Alice was still leaning back in her seat, the wind held her hair, the blonde hair fascinated her eyes, and the man's figure blurred in the gap between the hairs, like an oil painting from another world.

"Huh?"

This is Mo Ye's first time driving, and he is driving without a license, if he hadn't been able to use his telekinesis to stabilize the car, and this car has removed all unnecessary settings, he would have been crowned as a "guy who can't drive" and sat in the back.

At this time, he heard Alice's sudden call, and he just answered like this.

"Do you like me?"

Western girls are really unrestrained, especially Alice, who has long been out of girlhood and is used to seeing life and death, is even more straightforward, and it is such a lethal question as soon as she opens her mouth.

"Uh...... what do you mean this......" ("wow,i_don't_know_how_to_say_it." This sentence is ambiguous, because it can be translated as "I don't know how to tell you about this", and its implication is that it acquiesces to the questioner's questioning, but this implication is not something that an English rookie like Mo Xie would not have thought of. Obviously, the automatic translation of the Holy Scriptures had pitted him. )

"Alas......" Alice sighed when she heard this, her posture still did not change, but her eyes were slightly closed compared to before, "You are a good person." ”

This "good guy card" was issued.

Mo Ye was silent, not because he was rejected by a woman with a big killer weapon like the "Good Guy Card", but because he really didn't know how to take Alice's words.

He is not the kind of person who has experience, nor is he the kind of person who has the strength to see through people's hearts.

"Call me when the team is resting. Alice closed her eyes and rubbed her head back in her seat to find the best place to sleep.

Mo Xie's car drove very steadily, and there was almost no vibration caused by rolling into the uneven places on the road. The scenery outside the window is monotonous yellow, and Alice, who needs to take over the steering wheel from Mo Ye's hand at night, needs to get enough rest before this.

The wind ruffled her hair, fragmentary but not messy, against her wheat-colored skin, and even Mickey, who had only seen it from the reflection in the rearview mirror, couldn't help but guess what kind of dreams the woman in the front seat would have.

Soon, too, he fell asleep, leaning against the car door with his arms folded.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Doctor, have you decided?"

Deep in the desert, when the sun's rays were no longer so hot, the ground that looked like a "horse shed" in the eerie "abandoned farm" cracked, and a helicopter was lifted up by a platform that rose from the ground that opened like a roof.

A voice rang out as the helicopter was completely surrounded by sunlight.

It was a man in a suit and leather shoes, he was on the thin side, and no one would have doubted his ability at a time because of his thin appearance - whether it was fighting or spearmanship, this man was the strongest in the base.

He was one of the directors of the base assigned by the Umbrella Higher-ups, primarily responsible for security, and rose to the level of authority above the nominal head of the base, Isaac, who was directly subordinate to the higher-ups.

"Klaus (the name is a nonsense, and I can't find the name of the little brother who died ugly in the end), since those wastes can't bring me the test subjects I want, then I have to reluctantly take matters into my own hands. I'm going to have to see that perfect guy for myself. Isaacs poked his head out of the window of the plane, a smile on his lips, but this smile was full of the meaning of 'smiling but not smiling'.

His eyes were full of madness, and even the battle-hardened Klaus couldn't help but stagger his gaze that was about to meet Isaacs.

"Alright then, go ahead, after all, the higher management has granted you all the permissions. Klaus said.

"I'll see you later. Isaacs retracted his head into the plane, and the plane took off about ten seconds later.

A helicopter flew off the platform, followed by a second, a third......

Five helicopters took off from the dusty compound, and the flying sand hit Klaus's body and face, and the latter's expression was numb, as if the body was not his.

His gaze fell on the shadow of the distant helicopter, and he never took it back for a long time.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Hi. ”

Alice slept a little dazed, and seemed to have some dreams that were not long or short, and the dreams were surprisingly peaceful, with no blood and no familiar faces.

A rare restful night's sleep.

It's just that the rare sleep is not so long-at least for her who is asleep, and the concept of time is not so clear for those who are asleep.

A voice disturbed her sleep, and a soft hand touched her arm.

The touch was soft, and so was the sound, like a gust of wind with a distinctive sound sweeping through her ear chakra.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the glowing sunset and the long-haired K. Matt in front of her, who woke her up.

The car didn't know when it had stopped, but Mo Ye's "driving skills" were so good that Alice didn't notice the change in her own state of motion.

The light of the setting sun was too red, and the girl's face was also slightly red, like a maple leaf in late autumn, and like a rose in a flower shop in memory.

It's just that now in the sandbank, neither the maple leaves nor the roses are gone, and there are only those shadows in the memories that are gradually beginning to blur.

"The Rose will come back, and so will the Maple Leaf, as long as you get to 'Arcadia' or 'Asgar', everything will be fine......" Alice thought, and she quickly gained the power to recall her energy from this thought, and her body, which had no energy because of its first awakening from a deep sleep, quickly returned to normal.

"What about the guy?" asked Alice, rubbing her eyes and brushing her windswept hair.

"There, I just told you to wake you up, and then you sit there again like last night. K. Matt pointed out the window in a direction, where a dark shadow sat facing the sunset, like a humanoid sundial.

"Shhhh Alice could see the curiosity of the girl in front of her, and reminded her beforehand, "He was practicing. ”

"Oh. K. Matt answered, and she sat in the driver's seat looking at Alice, and by chance, her eyes fell on Alice's eyes.

Alice's eyes reflected the setting sun, and the shadow that had been pulled by the setting sun.
