After this battle, Team 217 stayed in various positions that night. In Trood, he also contacted the rear through the radio in the position, and confirmed that the enemy's attack should be accidental, and although the surrounding positions have also suffered a certain degree of impact, there are still many positions that are firmly on the first line, so Trode at least has no worries now.

However, the troops in the position who can really face the enemy's armored forces have very little time to rest. Considering the possibility of a sneak attack by the enemy, they also slept not far from the tank, and there were always awake people on duty.

"Let's go back to sleep."

Trode walked to the top of a room and spoke to the people above.

"No, I'm not sleepy at all."

Alicia rejected her outright.

Although there were only two crews in this position, Trode and Alicia, and the sleeping time of the two sides would naturally not be too long, but even so, Trode did not persuade her anymore, but walked to her side, looked at the sky and said, "This star is so beautiful." ”

Alicia smiled and said, "Cut, your way of accosting you is really bad." ”

"Oh, this is very heartbreaking, it looks like I'd better go back to sleep." Trode shrugged his shoulders and gestured to turn back, but he was stopped by Alicia's words.

"What do you think of that dream?"

This question was something that Alicia had said to Trode before the war, and now Trode had no clue, but he also knew that it was a serious question, so he turned his back to Alicia and said, "I can't say it yet, but I have a hunch that this dream is not simple." Maybe it's not the time for you and me to get a peek into it. ”

"Really?" Alicia was a little disappointed when she heard Trode say this, but she also knew that Trode's words were not perfunctory, and he must have been carefully analyzed to come to this conclusion. Perhaps, as expected, it will only take time to figure it out.

"That's right." Alicia changed her tone and said, "I have a hunch. Something is going to happen. ”

"Oh? I don't think they'd be stupid enough to sneak up on tonight, but we're too vigilant right now. Trode said with a disdainful smile.

Alicia didn't say anything about his attitude, just said lightly: "Maybe, but I can still feel it, maybe it's not tonight, maybe it's not tomorrow, anyway"

"Anyway, he's going to happen, right?" Trode picked him up and continued, "Again, there's no basis, but my gut tells me you're right. ”

"You're saying that, isn't it?" Alicia said with a smile.

Trood also smiled and said, "Maybe." But there seems to be a force that I don't know about this thing that is influencing me to believe what you say. ”

"The more you talk about it, the more illusory it becomes." Alicia said as if laughing at herself: "I don't know what's wrong today, I fought such a beautiful battle, but I just can't be happy for some reason." ”

"Same, same." Trode also nodded: "It's the same on my side, and that's exactly the case, I didn't fall asleep just now, saying that I was thinking something." In fact, it seems that there is nothing. ”

"I haven't been asleep, why don't you come for me?" Alicia quipped.

"Cut!" Trode raised his voice and said, "What are you kidding?" I'll do that for you. Will you obediently go back to sleep? Even if I didn't sleep, I had to pretend that I wasn't, with your personality, how could you be honest and rest. ”

"Still." Trood lowered his voice again and said leisurely, "After seeing that look on your face. I felt like my hours of pretending to be asleep had been in vain. ”

Alicia tilted her head to the side, looked at Trode's back and said, "Is it so obvious that I don't want to go to sleep?" ”

Trode shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's not it, if you have to say it, it should be a 'don't persuade me, that's useless' expression." ”

Alicia sighed and said, "I can't stand you. Not a gentleman at all. ”

This time Trode didn't answer, but looked at the sky silently, and he said slowly: "As for me, I also have a dream, although it is nothing compared to yours, but for me, it is also something that has been troubled for a long time, and this time I will take this opportunity to share this trouble with you, which can be regarded as revenge on you." ”

Alicia didn't answer, just stood there silently, waiting for Trode to tell her story.

Trode pouted for a moment, then let out a long sigh, and it seemed that it had taken a great deal of mental struggle to say this. He raised his head slightly, looked into the distance and said, "As for me, I always have a dream." In the dream, I was standing in a circular light, like a street lamp, but I thought the street lamp should be quite low, and the light was relatively good, it could dispel the darkness under my feet, the only obvious difference was that there were no street lights around the poles. ”

"All around me is darkness as far as the eye can see. And every time I would run into the darkness, trying to find something, but I didn't know what it was, I was getting farther and farther away from that light, and little by little I disappeared into the darkness, but I didn't feel any fear because of it. Because my heart told me that what I was looking for was in the depths of darkness, and that feeling was reassuring. ”

"But." Trood paused and said, "No matter that time, I didn't dream that I had found anything, although it wasn't exactly the same every time, but after I was immersed in the darkness, I seemed to feel satisfaction, which made me wonder if what I was looking for didn't exist at all, it was just that darkness." ”

"Sounds so much more dreamy than mine." Alicia smiled and said, "Like you, I can't say anything, I think one day you will find what you are looking for." ”

"Yes." Trode nodded, and turned to Alicia.

That night, the two talked for an unknown amount of time, until the sun climbed up from the horizon, and the two sat on the roof, watching the sunrise, but they fell asleep together
