Chapter 5: Memories of Loose Sands [Refinement]
After yesterday, everything seems to be back to normal.
The sun rises over the distance, rolling mountains, casting a foggy pale gold in the dry air. Sunlight shone in through the glass of the openwork window and sprinkled onto the quilt covered by Yeon-shi.
She turned over and changed her position and continued to lie down and sleep, her lips twitching, chewing on a trace of broken hair that had come down from her cheeks.
Outside.
The two Yan brothers got up early to go out on patrol. They took turns on duty to guard the granary warehouse, the lifeblood of the camp.
When he went out, he bumped into Miller and Kleist, who were on their way with a small cart. Several people greeted each other and exchanged a few words before parting.
Central Square.
The battalion commander, Quunjes, got up early in the morning, and he came for a walk in the square as usual. Moving his muscles and bones, exercising and exercising his physique, seeing that he is also a man who is almost fifty years old.
"Hey—what the hell happened last night, Kaiye?"
Facing him, he saw Kai Ye carrying a broom and walking straight over with low energy, as if he hadn't woken up at first glance.
"One of the infected came to the camp." Kaiye deliberately yawned in front of Kunjes, then stopped and began to clean the floor of the square.
Quintes crossed his arms, and in a blink of an eye, he noticed the dried blood on the ground. He took two thoughtful steps forward, then crouched down to take a closer look.
Further on, patches of charred black objects were scattered across the ground. It looked like a small piece of coal that had been smashed, and if it was picked up, it might be able to burn the stove in the winter.
"Are you dead?"
"Dead."
"No one was hurt?" Quintes asked Kaiye, who was sweeping the floor, with a wink, and asked strangely.
"Of course." Kaiye replied nonchalantly.
"So, how did the infected get in?" Quintes muttered to himself. He stood up, his eyes fixed on the vast expanse of barren meadow.
The breeze blows lightly, and the broken grass rustles.
"I can't tell. But battalion commander, I'm sure ......"
"Surely what?"
"Probably the wall is exposed." Kaiye glanced up at Quintjes, a sly sly grin on his face. Because this is just speculation, it is completely uncertain.
Unexpectedly, Quunjes was convinced of this. He nodded, and without saying a word, hurried home to pick up a basket of bricks, then pushed up his broken bicycle, which had long since broken its chain, and headed for the camp wall.
The total length of the wall is also hundreds of meters, and if Kunjes comes back after checking it all, I'm afraid it will have to wait until around noon......
After cleaning the square, Kaiye held a broom and sat on the edge of the flower bed to rest.
He looked at the ground quietly, and when the surroundings were quiet, he began to slowly ponder what had happened last night:
When Yanxi raised her head to look, she realized that it was him who saved her with her scarlet armor.
"You, you...... Yuan Neng? Warrior! Yanxi's eyes were clear, and she looked deeply at his orange slanted upper eye sockets.
……
Bending down to pick up a windswept leaf, Kaiye looked at its chapped veins in the sunlight. The edges are full of insect prints, and only on the stems there is a touch of late autumn charm.
Many times, life in the world will inevitably backfire.
Kai Ye looked away and deeply recalled the days at that time: he couldn't let go from the bottom of his heart, even now.
He lifted his head, the sun shining on his face, warm and comfortable. That memory and unforgettable painful past, after a long time, maybe it can be completely dispersed, right?
Lie to yourself again, why not?
That night:
Kai Ye, who was covered in scarlet armor, saw Yanxi falling from the sky. There is a large area of barren grassland under her, and if you fall on it, you must not be directly thrown to death!
He jumped without hesitation, and although he didn't have the stunt to fly into the sky, he was enough to fly into the sky with the elasticity of his feet alone. So much so that saving Yanxi is not a problem at all.
Catch it in mid-air and land smoothly.
Covered in scarlet armor, he looked at Yanxi who was lying in his arms and was dying, and unconsciously spit out a sentence to her: "I won't let you have anything, never!" ”
And in the whole process, Yanxi has long lost consciousness......
Bite! Bite! Bite! Bite!
At this moment, the alarm in the camp's radar room sounded like an explosion, shattering Kaiye's reverie and memories at this time. He immediately stood up and hurried towards the radar room not far behind him.
Syllable! (Knocks the door open)
Kai Ye rushed in in a panic, reached for the headphones on the table, and then checked the alarm on the computer screen.
"Hey, hey? I'm Kaiye, and this is the camp Lei ......."
"Kaiye! Come and save us, we're in the playground...... Over here...... Yes! ”
Click. (Signal Interrupted)
"Hello? What the? Cheng Song! ”
The signal has been cut off by this point. No matter how Kaiye tried to contact him, he finally failed and retired. He panicked, and slammed his back into the mechanical table weightlessly.
Could it be that something happened to Komatsu and Nepton?
As soon as he thought of this, Kai Ye's heart was stabbed suddenly, and his brain was also mixed up.
So, before the battalion commander Quintes could come to discuss, he hurried in the direction of the playground, regardless of the danger of being alone......
