Chapter IV

The crowd stretched all the way to the pier, where refugees carrying large bags and small bags were being checked by soldiers in hazmat suits at the checkpoint, and after confirming that there were no bite marks on their bodies, the refugees would pass through a corridor surrounded by barbed wire, which was held by several military dogs, which would bark at any infected refugees as soon as they passed.

To be honest, I was a little anxious because the checkpoint was not very well defended, these walls of cars, trucks, buses were almost like paper paste to the group of walking corpses behind us, and I was disturbed by the fact that there was only one helicopter gunship in the sky to monitor the situation.

I was examined by a female officer, and they took my blood and saliva, and even though I knew I didn't have any chance of being infected, I was scared as I passed through that passage, and if any dog suddenly barked, I would probably have been taken away.

When we got to the pier, I saw the ten ships we were going to be on for the evacuation, all of which were luxury giant cruise ships, but it was likely that there was no place for the first class cabin.

"Senpai." I grabbed Natasha's arm, "Are you okay?" ”

I know I'm talking nonsense, and whoever is suddenly used to get angry will feel very aggrieved, especially at the juncture.

"I'm fine." Natasha smiled with a nonchalant expression, "I know Yumiko is under a lot of pressure, and we've pretty much everything on her, haven't we?" ”

"Senior sister, you don't think you're really redundant, do you?"

Natasha didn't speak, she just looked at a cruise ship that had already departed, her eyes full of sadness.

"From a very young age, Natasha was afraid of people saying she was useless." Sonny, who had been silently watching all this behind me, finally spoke.

"What? What's going on? ”

Sonny looked at Natasha on the side and asked, "Can you say that?" ”

Natasha didn't say anything but nodded, and Sonny pursed her lips, as if thinking about where to start.

"In the winter when we were 10 years old, there was a heavy snowfall on the island, and we were so happy because it was really heavy, and I made an appointment with Natasha and a few other friends to go to the forest on the east side of the island."

At that time, we only wanted to go to the forest to have snowball fights and build snowmen, but the school was very strict with us, even after school, we had to return to the home they prepared for us on time, so we made an appointment, and after the parents who were also ** arranged fell asleep, we gathered in front of the school and went to the forest together from there.

"I was the first to arrive." Sonny smiled, he looked at his watch, and when he thought his friends were not coming, a wolf's howl suddenly sounded in the forest.

Sonny could tell that this was a wolf howl that his friend had learned, because this young man liked wolves very much, so he learned wolf howls every day, but the howls he learned were not like that, so that's another story.

"Please, buddy, don't learn anymore, it's not like it at all, really."

As Sonny expected, after a while, smiling faces appeared behind a cedar tree.

Sonny grimaced, and everyone laughed and walked into the forest.

We walked through the forest, occasionally picking up snow and throwing it on each other, and picking some blueberries from the woods when we were hungry, which was probably the most lively time for us.

At this point, Sonny's expression became relaxed, and the corners of Natasha's mouth began to turn up and she smiled.

"Hey Natasha, have you heard about the Evan Church's intention to declare war on us?" Sonny approaches Natasha, who is walking at the back of the line, intending to tell him a funny story to scare him.

"Don't mess with Sonny, they're just a terrorist organization, wouldn't they kill themselves if they wanted to declare war on us?" Natasha smiled, in the class at that time, the teacher often told us something about the war, which terrorist organization caused the ** attack, which terrorist organization attacked which airport, he always said that when we grow up, these things are not even a hair in our eyes.

Have you ever wondered why a teacher would tell you these things? I asked Sonny curiously.

What the? Do you say me? There was never a doubt, but I was still immersed in these stories, and sometimes even I would talk about them myself, and in short, Natasha and I were talking about the Ivan church, and just as we were talking, the light of a flashlight swept over our heads.

Who is it? Is it a resident of the island? Or did our parents find out that we were not in the house and contacted the teacher and came to look for us?

No one knew that we were all like frightened bunnies and ducked into the grass.

Some bald men in pre-World War III Russian camouflage uniforms walked in front of us, we didn't see any marks on them, and we didn't know if the guy who learned to howl had a brain twitch or something, he actually learned a wolf howl at this time, as for why we don't know, because he was shot and killed by the bald head in the lead before he could react.

The corners of his mouth were still upturned before he died, revealing his last mischievous smile, and before I could react to his retarded behavior, a string of bullets struck us again.

"Who's where!" They shouted in Russian, "Get out of here!" ”

No one dared to move, we stuck our faces in the snow and didn't even dare to get out of the air, until a bald man grabbed me by the neck and dragged me out of the snow pit and I could see his face clearly, which made my eyes widen.

"Is it someone you know?" I asked.

"Oh yes, there's no one who doesn't know him." Sonny said, "Ivan Norwich, the head of the Ivan church, one of the ****s who gave the country the most headache glared at me in front of me. ”

"What are we going to do with them?" A **** member asked, "Why don't you kill the soup and drink it?" ”

"You idiot." Ivan in front of me scolded, "If we kill them, won't our plan be exposed? He stared at my face, bared his eerie teeth, and said, "We tied them up to negotiate with that superpower school, and I believe they couldn't afford to ignore such a valuable resource." ”

"Boss, what about our previous plan to bomb the island?"

"No, these goods are much more valuable than those **."

At that time, Natasha, who was the only one between us who could speak Russian, watched this farce without saying a word, she couldn't make up her mind, she didn't know what to say, maybe the other party let go of herself and her friends because she was also of Russian descent, but what were the chances of this?

Natasha's ability was to heat up and burn objects she touched, but at the age of ten she had difficulty making a small stick burn, but she tried to put her hand on the hands of the members of the Ivan Church.

"What are you doing?"

"Warm your hands."

Natasha replied in Russian, the fat man was stupid, he didn't think that one of the students was of Russian descent.

"Are you Russian?" He asked

"Yes, Muscovites." Natasha replied calmly, Natasha wanted to buy more time, she knew that her ability was weak, and she knew that even if it didn't make sense to set this one member on fire, her own ability might be the only chance to save herself and her friends.

But no matter how much she tried, no matter how long she held it, the hand just didn't react at all.

"You shit!" I don't know who shouted, "Natasha, you useless trash!" ”

"Shut up!" The bald old man got angry, picked up the student who was screaming everywhere, and handed me over to another strong man.

"If you call her another shit, I'll tear you in half."

To be honest, we were really scared by his words and shut up for a while, but Natasha, God, she's like a demon, Sonny shook his head, she locked herself in the house since we were rescued, and after this news was regulated, there were twice as many soldiers stationed on the whole island than before, God, can you imagine that they patrol the streets in Humvees every day?

Natasha stayed at home for half a month, until one day, I really cared about Natasha's situation, so I went to her house alone.

"How does she look?"

"How does it look? Sucks dude! Sonny shook his head, "Her room is like a garbage heap, and she herself stinks of garbage like a big walking garbage." ”

I tried to think about the smell and felt like goosebumps were going to rise on my body, even though I didn't smell very good now.

For several days, I ran to Natasha's house almost every day after school, and eventually, as if she couldn't stand her own smell anymore, she finally began to feel how important it was to take care of herself and her room.

I was glad to see that this had turned around, so I started cleaning up with her, and I told her that I could be trusted, and that whoever laughed at you and thought you were useless, I would never think so.

At that time, I held her hand, which was never, her body was very fragrant, there was the fragrance of shower gel, God, can you imagine that we were only ten years old at that time?

Sonny smiled and shook his head, since then, we have gone to class together every day, we go home together, we get tired of being together whenever we have the opportunity, I think I am in love with this beautiful girl, so I confess to her.

"Confess at the age of ten, senior, you and your senior sister are really not ordinary people." I quipped, "Natasha-senpai agreed?" ”

"No, she refused."

Looking at Sonny's funny expression in front of me made me laugh, and Sonny scratched his head in embarrassment.

She said that she was too cowardly, that she was a wall grass if she didn't have an opinion, and that being with me wouldn't make me feel the joy of real love, and I was stupid, I didn't expect her to say such a thing.

Since then, Natasha has gradually distanced herself from me, but for some reason, her ability has become stronger and stronger, and she has become more and more adept at manipulating temperature, and in a final training assessment, Natasha won the first place in the school, and she knows that she has finally said goodbye to the cowardly and useless Natasha she used to be.

"It's thanks to you, senior, right?"

"I'm ashamed that I didn't do anything."

Sonny shook his head, and later I learned that Natasha would run back to the woods to the east every night to practice her skills, and to control the temperature so that the fire could not be too big, otherwise it would cause a forest fire, which was very difficult for her at that time.

"Did Natasha-san fail again?"

"If she fails, the forest will be gone."

Anyway, after that final exam, Natasha came to me and she confessed to me.

I thought you were all done?

Please, man, I thought I was done with her, but her determined look let me know that we would be very happy together, and we fell in love, and we are still in love.

"The beautiful love story of two people in a world full of walking corpses looks like a good subject."

"Make sure none of those directors and producers have turned into those bloodthirsty monsters, man." Sonny tapped me on the shoulder, leaving me alone, and Sonny ran to Natasha's side, and the two snuggled up again.

"A boring love story." Yumiko didn't know where she came from, "But it's true that I did something wrong, and I'll apologize to her." ”

"That's fine." I breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to make all sorts of excuses. ”

"I look ... Someone like that?? Yumiko frowned.

"Not at all!" I smiled and pushed her shoulder and said, "Okay, brave man, let's get on the boat too." ”

To be honest, I'm really in a much better mood now than before, and it seems that I need to listen to more stories to ease my mood.

Once on board, we were accommodated in a small four-person bedroom, and since my other body was not very important at the moment, I tucked him under the bed, which was a bunk bed, which meant that we had to have one person on the floor.

"There is a private bathroom where you can take a hot shower, and the water is filtered out with a fresh water filter on the ship, so please save water." After the room service, we all planned to sleep in bed quietly, we were so tired, but I had to take a hot shower in the private bathroom, because the smell of my body is really indescribable.

Yumiko blushed and apologized to Natasha, who hugged Yumiko excitedly, although I could tell that Yumiko didn't seem to want to be hugged.
