Chapter 40 Decisions
The scenery of the southern foothills of the Karakoram is slightly different from that of the northern foothills, with trees still dominated by cold cedars, thick spiral needles falling between the trees, and a layer of wind-blown snow that has been tamped down, and stepping on it is like stepping on a cream of chocolate.
Several peaks are also slightly grandiose, and they are all good at winning. The valley is home to a large number of small deciduous shrubs and a variety of herbaceous plants, all of which are frozen in the form of the day of nuclear winter, many of which are even green.
The land is asleep, still dreaming a dream that never seems to wake up.
Seven or eight empty cans were thrown near the peregrine falcon's tent, which originally contained sausages, sugar pills, compressed biscuits, and the like that helped the peregrine falcon survive nearly a month.
However, apparently he didn't have more military cans in his tactical backpack, the Chosen Army's individual loads were extremely high, but most of the weight was taken up by equipment and weapons, leaving them very little space to carry food, water, and personal belongings, and it was almost the limit for a peregrine falcon to carry so many cans, even though this can was less than 500 grams.
The peregrine falcon devoured the rice balls that Livers had thrown at him, he hadn't eaten in days, and in fact, if he hadn't found him, he would have starved to death, if not to death.
"I fled into this valley and never went out." The peregrine falcon's face was very pale, bloodless, and it was coughing when it spoke, and the whole person was in a terrible state of illness.
"I guess those robots were chasing you and the cockroaches, or were short-circuited in the head by an EMP bomb, but I've been safe here, and these days, I've been on the communicator, and every thirty minutes I've been saying something in the channel, and then it became a habit, even though I knew I might never get a response."
Each member of the Group 7 has a communicator that can be connected to their own channel, which is the Group 7's own channel, where they usually chat, joke, receive tasks and report on the progress of the task, etc., and everyone can contact anyone in the group at any time.
Lifus imagined that the peregrine falcon had been desperate and stubborn trying to contact the non-existent comrades in the group every thirty minutes every thirty minutes, and then waiting in loneliness and silence for his life to come to an end, which was very desolate and miserable.
"Looks like you're in a good place, at least there's something to eat." The peregrine falcon swallowed the last bit of rice balls and reached out to signal to Lifus if he was still there, "By the way, haven't you been trying to contact the other groups?" β
"I exterminated a small group of apocalyptic armies who had an underground granary. My monkey watch may have been implanted with a Trojan horse, and if I opened it rashly, it would be tracked to its location and hunted by Achilles. Lifus took out two more rice balls from his pocket and threw them to the peregrine falcon, "Save some food, I don't have many left." β
The peregrine falcon took the rice ball again, and despite its coldness and hardness, asked as it ate, "Don't you still have a granary?" You can't be so stingy, right? β
"I just wanted to get out of there, I can't go back." If it weren't for the fact that Lifus was a little sad and gave up on himself, he wouldn't even dare to turn on the group's internal communication system, and then he wouldn't be able to find the peregrine falcon.
"If you have to flee, is it a formidable enemy?" Lifus's combat experience and military literacy have always been recognized and respected by the Chosen Army, and the members of the Seven Group have a blind admiration for him, and the Peregrine Falcon is certainly no exception.
"Only by experiencing it can you know that it is not only the enemy who is terrible in this world." Lifus smiled wryly and said, "You may not believe it, I'm out of love." β
He deliberately said a dirty word to show that he didn't care so much about it.
"Poof." The rice ball that the peregrine falcon had just eaten in his mouth almost squirted out, but considering the preciousness of the food, he swallowed it firmly.
"Team leader, you are really my team leader!" The peregrine falcon seemed to be hurt a lot by the divine turn of the topic of Livers, "This barren mountain and wild mountain range is not in front of the village and behind the store, the poor mountains and bad waters, the weather is cold, and it is difficult to find a female animal, before and after less than a month, your old man is stunned to be able to fall in love, and you are still out of love, knowing that you are the best agent, you don't need to be so 'outstanding' in this kind of thing, right?" β
Lifuss blushed: "Didn't I fall in love at first sight?" β
"It's really hard to believe, team leader, I remember you used to say that women are naΓ―ve and superficial, and there is no woman in this world who can make you tempted?" At the mention of this topic, the peregrine falcon suddenly became interested, and even coughed a lot less.
"That's because we had access to too few women before, especially young girls, and the base of observation objects was too small, which inevitably led to biases and errors in the observation results." "If I hadn't met her, I'd never have been able to imagine how there could have been such a lovely and beautiful girl in this world, or why anyone would have the heart to hurt her, and then you would fall in love with her, and you can't help but want to protect her, even if you are willing to give your life for her." β
"So, this sister-in-law of mine must be beautiful, right?" The Chosen One was all born on the same day, but the members of their group were still forcibly divided into elder brothers and younger brothers according to their positions, the strength of their combat effectiveness, their height, and even their appearance.
"When I met her, she was actually disfigured, but she used to be a very, very beautiful girl." Li Fusi smiled, and when he talked about Lin Xuexi, he was even a little proud in his heart.
"She's strong, she's optimistic, she's real. She is never pretentious, nor does she pretend to be deep, she is still willing to love the world after going through very cruel things, and her heart is always kind and full of hope. β
Li Fusi remembered what Lin Xuexi said to him that night when he took off his clothes, so he chose to take risks today and cheer up, for her.
"Then why did you break up again?" Peregrine Falcon couldn't figure out why Lifus would leave her if he loved her so much?
"Maybe there was some misunderstanding that I didn't have time to explain, and to be honest, I'm still not sure if I've been in a relationship, or if it's just my own wishful thinking from beginning to end."
Lifus said that he was a little frustrated.
"She is always like a divorce from me, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and has never expressed positive feelings for me, I think, she may not like me at all, but I have a deep love for her and can't extricate myself, and I can't erase the imprint she left on my heart in this life, it's really unwilling to think about it, it's not fair! But what else can I do? β
Lifus spread his hands, looking helpless.
The peregrine falcon shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he knew nothing about emotional matters and did not expect any help or answers from him.
"What's next? Do we have any plans? Peregrine felt the need to change the subject and lighten up the atmosphere at this time, but he did care about his own fate.
"I decided to open the remote communication of the Monkey Watch, contact the other team members, even if we are located by the Alliance, I have to tell all the Electors about Achilles' conspiracy, and we can't continue to be used by Achilles."
Li Fuss looked resolute, "You can consider whether to follow me, we are no longer in a subordinate relationship now, you have the right to decide your own fate, if you follow me, you are likely to be killed in the next second." β
"Don't think about it, team leader." "It's better to be blown up than to die of sickness and starvation, and you'll always be my leader." β
"Well, hopefully you'll make it to the moment you're blown up."
Lifus walked over and sorted out his tactical backpack and weapons, and with the peregrine falcon in his hands, the two slowly walked in the direction of the helicopter.
The peregrine falcon is very weak and walks like a faltering old man.
The two walked deep and shallow, leaving two rows of messy footprints on the snow.
