"How's the ammunition and fuel going?" Trood asked Stein, who was leaning to the side.

"It's all done, ready to go." After Stein replied briefly to Trode, he proceeded to tighten the gear strapped to the cart.

Trood leaned down and looked inside from the driver's observation hole, "Yorkson, how are you doing over there?" ”

Yorkson also shouted outside through the small hole: "It was activated just now, everything is normal." I have also checked the engine, there is no problem, and it does not need maintenance for the time being. ”

Trode climbed into the car, stood on top of the turret, crouched down, and said to the people inside: "Nattel, what is the state of the main gun and the coaxial machine gun?" ”

Natel said as he leaned down and fiddled with something, "There's nothing wrong with the main gun, it's still a new car after all." But the machine gun, it's been a long time since it's been used, it's a bit out of fuel, I'm cleaning it up, and I'll be able to finish it later. ”

"That's good." Trode leaned on the turret, stretched his neck, stuck his head into the car and said, "Roy, are the radio and hull machine guns okay?" In your absence, we rarely touch your things. ”

"Rarely move? If you don't help me take care of it, you're still so righteous? Do you want me to thank you? Roy glanced at Trode and said, "Forget it, I didn't play badly, I'm already thankful." But this little guy seems to be a little grumpy, and I may not be able to handle it for a while. ”

Roy was referring to the radio station in the corner, which had only been used a few times by Trood in the two weeks since Roy's disappearance, and although Trod was not an expert in this area, he still knew how to use the car radio and would not use it badly.

With that, Trode got out of the car and started tinkering with the radio with Roy while the others went about their business

If you think time is diluting things, you're mistaken. It was only the second day of the incident, and the echoes of Roy's words still lingered in the room, and the people were all back to their normal state as if nothing had happened.

If you think that Troude is conveying some information or deliberately ordering them, then you have also misunderstood this matter. Trood didn't mention it at all, not even a word, except that he was going to refurbish his equipment the next day.

However, everyone seemed to have a silent tacit understanding and returned to their usual appearance. Of course, there are exceptions to this, and that is Marcus, as the other protagonist of yesterday's events, his feelings are very complicated, no one knows what he is thinking, including Leona who pulled him away from the scene that day, no one tries to comfort him, but he is a little unable to speak. Although I have been saying that I am fine, it is obvious from his deep state of affection or from his expression and tired eyes that he is not good now.

Of course, not everyone has an agreement with Roy like Trode, they don't know the truth about it, so they all want to help Marcus, and among them, Alicia finds Trode, hoping that he will cheer up Marcus with her.

Trode said to Alicia, "I'm sorry for what happened to Roy, and I've already said to Marcus on his behalf, so I don't think there's any need to dig too deep." And Marcus, his mental state is really bad, but he is very xenophobic, and it is difficult for us to help him. ”

Alicia asked with a puzzled expression, "But, he's one of us, isn't he?" We have an obligation to help our partner, even if he rejects us so much, but that is not a reason for us to abandon him. ”

"Phew," Trode sighed, as if he had known that Alicia would say this, "Indeed, as you say, we should indeed help him. However, for a closed-minded Marcus, any comfort or encouragement from his own point of view will not be useful, and may even be counterproductive. If you don't want to continue to hurt him, let time dilute everything."

"But," Alicia was about to say something, but Trode had already turned away. She gritted her teeth angrily and decided to talk to Marcus alone.

In fact, this was the first time that Alicia had a one-on-one communication with Marcus, and Alicia was still a little nervous on the way, not knowing how to speak

"Marcus, how are you doing?"

How could it be good! You idiot!

"So, Marcus, can you tell me what is on your mind? I might be able to help you with your worries. ”

How can I tell you! Didn't you say what you could say before?

"Woohoo"

Just as she was thinking about what to do, and at the same time being taught a lesson by her other consciousness, Alicia had already walked to Marcus's chariot, where he was alone, standing silently, giving people a desolate feeling.

Alicia said softly, "Marcus"

Although Alicia's voice was soft, the latter immediately turned around as if she had been electrocuted, and looked at Alicia in surprise, and there was something incomprehensible in her eyes

"That," Alicia said with some embarrassment, as Marcus stared at her, "Is there something on my face?" ”

"No, there is no such thing" Marcus shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes turned dark again, and he said silently, "Are you here to comfort me too?" If yes, then thank you, I'm fine, I'm just scared, after all, I've never had such an experience before, anyway, I'm fine now, I'm sorry to worry about me. ”

"I" Alicia, who was still thinking about what to say before, couldn't say a word at this time, and Marcus's words directly stuffed everything she had to say back into her stomach. And at this moment, she could only barely squeeze out a smile on her face, and said lightly: "That's really good"

After a few words, Alicia turned and left, maybe she should have believed Trode's words, but she thought that she hadn't failed yet, and that she still had a chance.

And behind her, what she didn't know was that just a few steps after she walked away, there were two more water marks on Marcus's cheeks
