Antarctic coastal areas

Corporal Frost Jensen

More than a month after landing, the Luo Lian army issued an ultimatum to the South Union: as long as they surrender unconditionally, the Luo Union army encircling the South Pole will withdraw as soon as possible. However, Nanlian did not express his position for a long time, and in the end, General Jeno received a message similar to "a wolf in his backyard", and there was no follow-up.

Frost thought the general would be furious, but he only said "I see" and went on with business. He asked Aixia how the enemy had managed to get such a behemoth as the NB-90 to reach the near North Pole, and the answer was not very surprising.

Southern Union began to act half a year ago, using all the Mead agents planted in Luolian to control the collapsed particle jammers around the North Pole, paving the way for the NB-90's teleportation operation and preparing the landing environment in advance. When everything is ready, it will also come to the point where you will die today.

At eight o'clock this morning, General Jeno gave a speech in the army on his way to Antarctica, and the bitter cold and endless darkness tormented every sergeant who went out, but everyone kept themselves in the best condition possible. In the same way, General Jeno's powerful voice was not at all tired, but rather uplifting, and he was well aware of this when he was there.

Frost stood solemnly to the right of General Jeno, who sat upright in front of the podium with his face facing the darkened camera. After confirming the microphone and the photographer signaling the countdown, the presentation began.

"All the warriors who went to the Antarctica together, I am Admiral Jeno Kashleo, and I am giving my final speech. After countless battles and countless sacrifices, we have finally come to this point. The door of Nanlian is right in front of our eyes, and we are always ready to rush in and erase the only stain on the great canvas of humanity. We stopped here to give them a chance to correct themselves, but their answer to me was to resist to the end. You know? The aerial behemoths of the Southern Union are closing in on our home on the other side of the world, and they think we're going to be tied up, because last year, twenty years ago, we lost millions of lives twice. ”

General Jeno paused when he uttered the horrific number.

"But in reality, we are not going to give in, and now the situation has completely changed. In the past, we were ants, and their victory over us was a matter of fingers. Now, we have marched all the way forward, all the way to the victory that we have exchanged for blood and life, and we have come here. We are the victors, and they are the ones who should kneel and beg for mercy! Since we did not heed the last advice, we have done our best to be benevolent, so starting tomorrow, the Luo Lian army along the entire Antarctic coast will march to the hollow cities of Antarctica! This is the only way to protect our homeland, everyone, please sacrifice your lives and blood for the future of our homeland and the future of mankind!"

They heard the boiling of the crowd, the boiling of blood, the cry of life. At the same time, Frost foresees the addition of a sad war in the history of mankind, and the change it will bring is still unknown.

General Jeno patted him on the shoulder as he left.

A few hours passed, and when I looked up, it was still the same night, but it was destined to change the stars, and Frost, who did not understand astronomy, could not see the difference.

Walking on the snow-covered land, the cold air frantically laughed at the idea of breathing in his heart, and the bitter wind spurred him. Frost felt an inexplicable sadness, the war was clearly coming to an end, but he could not let go. He's going to make it through, he's going to go home alive, but ......

"Sir Frost. ”

Hearing the call, Frost pretended to overlook. The girl's silver hair fluttered in the wind, looking at him expressionlessly, the tip of her snow-white nose was red because of the cold, and the close-fitting snow equipment kept her warm and avoided affecting her movements to the greatest extent.

"I don't have anything to report, it's just ...... After Chief Yunakin sacrificed his life for the country, he has not been able to confirm it with you. I'm now your direct subordinate, so if there's anything you want, please do not hesitate to tell me. ”

Frost was silent, intending to turn his head back.

"Sure enough, even if I say that, you're not going to command me?" said Wendy, "In that case, I have a request. ”

Frost's movements stopped. He hates the value of humans above artificial ligands, so he doesn't give Wendy mandatory orders, he always thinks that their status is equal.

"Please continue to fight with me as before, because I ...... As an artificial ligand, it may be too capricious to say this, but ......" Wendy hesitated for a moment, "I still want to live with the chief." ”

Is it...... It's ironic, Sergeant Unakin, that after your death, an artificial ligand could say something unimaginable. She had a desire, and she spoke frankly, in a time when she should have been depressed because of you.

Frost turned around, waved his hand with his back to Wendy, and walked slowly towards the dimly lit place.

"Well, then, I'll go back first, sir. Wendy said, "Please get some rest." ”

After Wendy left, there was silence all around, and not even a single insect could be heard on the vast frozen soil. Frost took out a lighter and lit it, becoming the only light in the vicinity. He knew that there was a starry belt of light behind him, and the majestic Luo Lian army would not lose to anyone in any way, but he didn't want to go back for the time being.

He didn't feel sadness, and he didn't feel anything sad about Yunakin's death. As he said on his deathbed, the heroic gesture of his dedication was reflected in his eyes and deeply engraved in his mind.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you, I helped Master Chief Unakin destroy the battery. ”

Even if Axia said so, even if Yunakin's diary didn't reach him in the end, he felt that it didn't matter. Will anyone know their story in the future, and will anyone believe it? Frost felt that it didn't matter, because he didn't know if there was such a future.

Yunakin chose such an ending, I'm afraid he couldn't stand it himself, burning in the fire of revenge and taking countless lives, only to find out that he had already been burned to nothing, leaving only a crime that he couldn't afford.

He ended himself, in a heroic way. He fled from sin and took on the posture of a sinner.

However, this did not matter to Frost Jensen himself. Even if he survives to the end, he will not be able to see the outline of the future, which is probably punishment, and as a tool without wishes, it cannot be seen.

The only thing he fears now is that he will lose the right to be embraced by a bright future.

The windproof flame was closed and the flames were extinguished.

But anyway, he still has the instinct to live as the walking dead, and it's okay to witness the future of humanity a little, right?
