Chapter 9: Differences

"It's time to get out of the car, guys," Arno said, "and the broken car is stuck in the snow and can't move." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

They had been driving for two hours, and at first they were still on the road, and when the road was gone, they continued into the woods, and finally reached their current location.

Looks like they've gotten rid of the grave patrol - damn scavengers.

It took a lot of effort for Kira to open the car door, and he realized that he was in the depths of the forest again. Tall pine trees surrounded them, whispering from time to time, as if talking about uninvited guests.

"We're lucky. ”

Hearing Arno speak, Kira followed and found a cabin right in front of them.

"The hunting lodges of the local hunters, I saw once when I was fighting, it is common for hunters to live in hunting places, but if they have a place to go back, they don't have to do this dirty work, and they live in such a harsh environment. ”

Kira stepped forward to knock on the door, but was stopped by Arno. He motioned for Kira to step aside, then raised his machine gun and fired at the lock of the wooden door.

It wasn't until he loosened the doorknob that Arno kicked it open and rushed into the cabin.

"No one. Come on in. ”

I'm afraid you'll kill him if it's not someone. Kira thought, silently labeling Arno a thug in her heart.

Kira walked into the hunting lodge, and the furniture and utensils in the house were almost all wooden, and there was no decoration in them. But perhaps it has been too long since anyone cared about it, and the surface of many places has been covered with a layer of dust.

The two chairs with reclinings by the fireplace, the charcoal turned to ashes, Kira could imagine a pair of hunters sitting by the fireplace to keep warm, and the old hunter was telling about the day, and the listener was his wife or his good granddaughter, listening quietly, and occasionally replying.

Arno picked up a pile of firewood and threw it into the fireplace, interrupting Kira's fantasy. Yes, since the wooden house has been empty for so long, the owner of the wooden house is probably more than lucky......

"What's wrong? Isn't it cold? Go and sit down by the fireplace. Somi walked up to him and said, "Oh, don't sit in a chair, I'm going to block the door." ”

"Ahh ”

Kira sat down, with a blanket on the floor, and it wasn't cold. Arno crouched beside the fireplace, adding firewood to it. The firelight illuminated his face, revealing the wrinkles on his face.

"Mr. Kararang. ”

"Just call me Arnold. ”

"Uh...... Uncle Arno, what did you do before?" asked Kira.

"I, a soldier of the Revolutionary Union. Of course, he has retired now, and on the day the country was divided, he retired without handing in his resignation. ”

"Oh...... I'm sorry. ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not very patriotic. Although he killed a lot of people back then, it was all so that he could live to this day. After so many years, I have also seen clearly that the original country is nothing more than a monster with imperialist and feudal ideology. Arno said, adding wood to the fireplace, "If I'm not mistaken, you kid is also a citizen of the Revolutionary Union. ”

"Huh, how do you know?"

"Hmph," Arno sneered, "a negative element like you, who advocates a revolution where all the people are soldiers, will not receive military education so early. At most, the school teaches you cultural lessons, or is it more appropriate to teach you brainwashing lessons?"

"I still don't understand......"

"If you have a military education, how could you not know," Arno nodded behind Kira, "Is this girl a tactical humanoid?"

Truly...... Tactical humanoid is a completely foreign word to Kira. He looked back at Somi, who sat obediently next to him, responding to his gaze with a strange look.

"Uncle Arnold, what's the tactical humanoid?"

"Demons, war machines, freaks...... There are many theories. I'm more inclined to call them, battlefield Valkyries. To put it more formally, tactical humanoids are humanoid weapons in the safe zone, and they are invincible on the battlefield, killing many soldiers like me. Oh, that's great, there's ......."

The veteran muttered to himself contentedly and picked up a bottle of wine from the table.

Humanoid weapons...... In general, it must be similar to a human being, right?

"Wait...... You say Sommy will kill the people of the Coalition?"

Arno was pouring wine.

"No, we're only killing people who have to die. Somi replied and handed Kira a freshly baked potato.

"Is that so...... Thank you. Kira replied, taking her own dinner. He didn't think so.

How can there be people in the world who must die. No matter how wrong the other person is, we don't have the right to take a person's life, and that's not allowed, isn't it?

"In short, it's all over, and I won't hurt you. ”

Kira nodded in acceptance. He wanted to end the topic as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry, I've been hiding a lot of things......" Somi whispered.

"No, no, no, it's okay, if you don't want to tell me, forget it. Kira forced a smile, "If I know you don't want to tell me and I'm going to get to the bottom of it, it's my rudeness." ”

Suomi looked surprised at first, then smiled with delight.

However, despite what Kira said, her heart was still quite uncomfortable. She didn't lie, she just hid something.

But it didn't matter, he just needed to know one thing: Somi wouldn't hurt him.

"Hiccup~boy," Arno said as he leaned into the table and enjoyed his spirits, "you're such a bad guy." ”

Kira didn't speak, shrugged with a wry smile.

"It's about four hours before dawn, so you can get some sleep," said Somi, the sleeping bag strapped to her backpack already unfolded, "You need to get enough rest, Kira." ”

It's better to be respectful than to obey his fate, he is indeed very tired and sleepy. Slipping into her sleeping bag, the warmth of the fireplace quickly lulled Kira to sleep.

The duration of sleep was short, and it was just a matter of passing away as soon as Kira's eyes went dark, as if it was just a blink. It was not the first light of the morning that woke him up, but the cold.

He didn't dare to leave the bed for the first time, and continued to lie down, turning his head to look around.

The fire in the fireplace had been extinguished for a long time, and the wood was charred black. Kira felt a cold gust of wind, and the door was unsurprisingly opened, and scattered snowflakes blew in.

Neither Somi nor Arnor was there. Are they out?

Kira took a deep breath to fully awaken herself and left her sleeping bag in one fell swoop. The chill invaded the whole body at once, but it was better than a little torture.

"Bury one over there, take it, humanoid. ”

Walking out the door, Kira saw Sommy and Arno working in the pine forest, seemingly buried with something.

"This side is ready. ”

"I'm here too...... Ah, good morning, Kira. The girl who spotted him waved hello.

"Early. What are you doing?"

"Fortifications...... No, it should be said to be an ambush. ”

"What?" he heard the unpleasant word.

"Ambush Patrolman, is there any problem?" asked Somi.

"Didn't we get rid of them?"

"Well...... They tracked the communicator I carried, but I forgot about it. ”

"And use it as bait," Arno replied, with a bottle in his hand, "and set up an ambush to attack the grave patrols." ”

"In that case...... Wouldn't we all be able to run away if we dropped the communicator? Why do we have to do such a dangerous thing?"

"Kira?"

"Why do they have to die? As long as they can't find us, I don't understand...... What I don't understand is that why do you want to risk your life? You may die!"

"I don't care......" Arno replied, looking a little drunk, "it's better to fight to the death than to be hunted by the grave inspectors for the rest of your life." Those who are soldiers are accustomed to walking on the edge of death. ”

"Whatever you want...... Kira gritted her teeth, "I'm not going to die with you, I'll go the rest by myself." ”

He turned and walked farther and farther behind the hunting lodge.
