Chapter Ninety-Seven: People Always Change
In short, for safety reasons, Yanagihara finally negotiated to let Mansha delete the photo of herself taken alone on the grounds that she didn't like to take pictures. As for the rest of the photos, because there were too many, coupled with Mansha's pitiful appearance, Yanagihara didn't let her delete them completely.
After all, she didn't appear in a complete image in those photos, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.
The rest of the journey should be relatively leisurely, with no rush and no harassment from wild beasts, except that the weather is a little cold, which is almost a harmonious car trip.
The old man often looked out the window with sighing eyes, as if he was nostalgic for the past. In fact, even he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been so still. He seemed to be exploring so much that he almost forgot the feeling of stopping.
In fact, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to end his concern in this special way.
However, all he can do now is to wait for time to prove everything.
Under Yanagihara's supervision, Al picked up his rifle again. At first, everyone was worried that such a young child would not be suitable for these things, but when they saw Al's skillful operation, they stopped saying anything.
To be sure, there's nothing wrong with learning some ways to protect yourself when traveling on the ice fields.
However, it also makes Al's current appearance really seem a little strange, the rabbit doll and the rifle, two things with very different painting styles, appear on the body of a little girl at the same time, it is impossible not to attract attention.
I can only say that maybe this is the post-disaster era, there will always be some special things and customs.
As they got along for more and more, everyone gradually discovered the difference in Yanagihara.
Especially when hunting again, the mercenaries saw her holding a half-human tall wild dog in her arms with her bare hands and twisting her neck with ease.
The visual shock is indescribable, considering that a half-human-tall dingo would be almost larger than a man if it stood upright.
Often, this wild dog is strong enough to easily break free from the grip of two or three adults.
But at that time, no matter how much the wild dog struggled, it just couldn't escape from Yanagihara's arms, and could only twist its body wildly, but in the end, it still couldn't get rid of the fate of being killed and turned into food.
Yanagihara saved a bullet as a result.
As for the mercenaries, it is because of this that they realized how this traveler took his sister from the Western Ice Plain to the Central Ice Field alone.
Just kidding, a ruthless person who can kill a beast with his bare hands, even in the core team of the Central Mercenary Regiment, I'm afraid there are not a few.
Yanagihara is like a lioness, or a she-wolf, which is the common understanding of the mercenaries about this wanderer during this time.
She is more like a beast than a human, both in terms of work and rest, and in terms of doing things.
But the food she handles is really delicious, well, on the merits.
······
It should be noon on the sixteenth day, and everyone arrived at the Central Greenhouse No. 10 as expected.
It is a basin-shaped circular greenhouse, and the building is like the steps of a staircase, which circles around and extends downward in a circle until it stops at the central complex.
It is the bottom of the greenhouse, and at the same time the most prosperous place.
After a general examination of the structure of the greenhouse, Yanagihara turned his head, waved his hand to the people behind him, and gestured.
"Thank you very much for your help along the way, then, let's say goodbye here, Al and I will continue to set off east."
"Hmm." As the captain, Lan Daoqi nodded politely, "We are also going to escort Mr. Aztod to the center of the greenhouse." I won't send you more, and I wish you all the best for the rest of your journey. ”
"No problem, thanks again." Yanagihara said, looking sideways again, and gave a deep look at the old man standing in the line.
The old man smiled and nodded at her.
Without saying anything more, Yanagihara lowered his eyes and prepared to leave with Al.
Before leaving, the old man gave El a hairpin in the shape of flowers, which was considered to fulfill his promise.
In return, Yanagihara gave the old man a bullet [天籁 www.23txt.xyz].
It's always useful, especially in an age like this.
······
Yanagihara didn't know what happened after that, she only knew that the mercenary team sent the old man into the center of the greenhouse.
As for the mercenary team, after finishing the escort of the old man, they can barely achieve the attendance assessment in the corps even if they have completed the last commission of the half year.
Sitting in a tavern in the center of the greenhouse, Randolph drank the junk wine in his hand and celebrated the next period of leisure with his teammates.
At least for the next month, they won't have to do any more tasks.
Mansha, as a newcomer who is not very good at drinking, sat beside her teammates in some embarrassment, looking at them holding wine glasses and talking highly, she always felt a little unable to fit in, so she could only pick up the camera in her hand again and look through the photo album inside.
"That's right, Captain." Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Sniper Ed looked at Randolph at the bar.
"Now that we can rest, do we have to go back to the corps station later?"
"I'm going to go back." Lan Daoqi said with a sip of his drink.
"After all, I haven't been back for half a year, so I need to submit the team information, and besides, hasn't Mansha been to the station yet, so I should take her to get acquainted with it."
"Hey." Suddenly hearing her name, Mansha raised her head in surprise: "I, can I go too?" ”
"Of course." Looking at this little girl who was a little flustered, Ed always felt that he saw his former self, and patted her shoulder with a smile and said.
"We're teammates now, how can we submit team information without you. And you're always so restrained, you can't do it, come! Let's have a drink! ”
"Ah, but, but I'm not going to drink this."
"How can a mercenary not drink, try it, trust me, it will make you forget all your troubles."
"Ed, if Mansha doesn't want to drink it, don't force her, you know that if you do this again, I can send you to the greenhouse guard for sexual harassment."
"Wow, captain, I've been with you for so many years, are you willing to do this to me?"
"Reluctant."
"Hey, you've changed, you've forgotten the sea oath and mountain alliance back then."
"If you feel itchy, just keep talking."
"Ahem, uh, Hank! Come, let's keep drinking! ”
