Chapter 1: The Final Mission

Verse 1: The Beginning, the Ship of the Dnepr (Part I)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

In the afternoon of June 2036, Ukraine, the third largest river in Europe, the Dnieper.

A small private sightseeing boat carrying nearly a dozen travelers from around the world is preparing to travel north from the capital, Kyiv, to a city 60 kilometers away that has been abandoned and locked down for half a century. Of course, this kind of behavior is not allowed by the local government, and the special area that was originally planned to be developed as a tourist attraction finally continues to "sleep" under the pressure and intervention of the military and public opinion.

It is the famous nuclear dead city of Chernobyl.

"In 1986, in the territory of the former Soviet Union Republic of Ukraine, the No. 4 reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded at 1:24 local time on April 26, resulting in 31 deaths on the spot, more than 8 tons of strong radiation leakage, more than 100,000 square kilometers of land were directly polluted, more than 3.2 million people were exposed to nuclear radiation, and the leaked strong radiation dust accompanied by atmospheric drift spread to the western part of the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia in Northern Europe. This is the most serious nuclear accident in history and a major catastrophe in the history of mankind's peaceful use of nuclear energy. ”

The accident drew public concern about the safety of nuclear power plants and indirectly led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and other countries that became independent after the collapse of the Soviet Union are still investing a lot of manpower and funds in the aftermath of the accident and the health care of their residents due to the serious pollution, and it is difficult to count the number of people who died directly or indirectly from the accident, and it is still unknown how serious the long-term impact of nuclear pollution will be. Since then, Chernobyl has been an empty city. ”

"It is rumored that in the 90s of the last century, a nine-member scientific expedition team entered Chernobyl and was attacked by a large number of giant rats, and only one survived. Scientists believe that the radiation has caused persistent and unpredictable genetic mutations in local rats and other creatures, and that the authorities have no choice but to assemble an army to wipe out all the giant rat herds found. We don't know the veracity of this statement, but the only thing that is certain is that in the event of a large-scale nuclear war on Earth, it will not be human ...... who will survive."

The owner of the private boat, who also served as a tour guide, told the passengers this real and suspenseful story of the disaster in Russian, the second official language of Ukraine, before departure, and most of the crew listened with relish, asking questions from time to time to satisfy their strong curiosity about the accident. There was only a group of three people, slightly indifferent to this: a middle-aged man and two young women in the back row. The woman sitting on the inside of the boat danced in the wind with her long golden hair, while the charming shawl black hair of her companion showed a unique and mysterious oriental color. Perhaps because of the language barrier, middle-aged men often translate for them in English.

After the story was told as an appetizer, the owner of the ship was about to pull the anchor and set sail, but he saw two young men running in the distance of the dock, the height of their bags was more than two-thirds of their slender stature, bulging and swollen I don't know what to stuff, I can still rush so fast, without the slightest panting, I rushed all the way to the side of the boat, and asked in a language with an obvious oriental accent: "Chernobyl?" Of course, the owner of the ship could understand this familiar word of place names, nodded his head, signaled that there was still a vacant seat, and hurried up. The two young men quickly unpacked their bags and stepped into the hull of the boat, and the people present clearly felt the sudden shaking of the draft of the boat, and couldn't help but look at their huge backpacks, what was so heavy in them? Looking up at the two young men in front of him, both of whom were a head taller than him, both with black hair, the owner of the ship asked in English, which he was not familiar with: "Are you Japanese or Korean?" The young man wearing sunglasses who walked in front was slightly stunned when he heard this, and walked straight to the back row with his backpack, leaving a straight back that he was too lazy to take care of, making the owner's inquiry seem to hit the wall. Another young man who followed the boat closely followed was also not kind to the owner's words, pointing to the five stars on his red headband, and his tone was extremely sharp: "China, red China!" ”

Now the whole ship knew that the two young men were from Red China, but when they sat down and began to laugh in their own language, only the same dark-haired woman in the front row could understand it word for word. The young man in sunglasses loosened the collar of his leather jacket and was a little puzzled by his companion's behavior: "You are running so fast in a hurry to reincarnate, and you are not the only one who has a private boat?" The young man with his headband took off his obviously unfashionable one-piece windbreaker, leaned on the edge of the boat, blowing the river breeze to his heart's content, and after a long sigh of relief, he smiled evilly: "When I left the open-air café just now, I said that the person at the table next door would pay the bill, but I didn't expect the naïve Ukrainian girl to really ask the other party for money......" It turned out that he was running a single for a long time, and the young man in sunglasses who learned the truth suddenly felt that he was put on a table, and couldn't help but burst out with a standard English scolding: "Fuck! ”

The black-haired woman in the front row couldn't help but smile, turned back and asked in authentic Chinese, "Then do you have the money to take a boat?" ”

Being in a foreign country, suddenly hearing a Chinese language, even if it came from a stranger's mouth, it still made the two young people feel a burst of warmth from their hearts, and instantly felt more cordial. Looking at the face in front of him, which is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, the emerald green blue eyes, the fair skin that is clear like water and warm like jade, and the long hair like black pearls flowing down to the shoulders and then gradually twisting like waves, these are not the characteristics of Chinese people that I am familiar with.

The young man with the headband shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly: "We're going to jump ship in a while." ”

This sentence everyone knew was a joke, which made the woman in the front row laugh even more happily, jumping off the boat with such heavy luggage, and the mermaid would sink to the bottom of the river. The young man in sunglasses then asked the two of them in common: "What do you call it?" Except for your hair color, you don't seem to be Chinese. ”

The black-haired woman turned around lightly and elegantly handed over a Qianqian jade hand: "Hello! My name is Ning Xue, German-Chinese, and I am a quarter Germanic. ”

The young man with the headband looked slightly fluctuating when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure: "I see, the beauty of the mixed-race achievement is more amazing than the creation of man by God." My name is Zhang Xiaozhou, English name 'MooN', a native of Chinese. After that, the young man in sunglasses also introduced himself: "Xu Chenfeng, SuN, the origin is the same." ”

Looking at the two young men in front of him who spoke in unison and knew at a glance that they had a good relationship, Ning Xue felt that they were quite similar, but there were absolutely differences: Xu Chenfeng, although he had a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his tall nose and occupied a key position on his face, there was a trace of gentleness between his eyebrows that did not match his indifferent shape, just like his bangs and fists, natural sunlight; Zhang Xiaozhou's bright and eye-catching national flag headband is tied to his forehead, making his already flowing long hair more chic and uninhibited, but his smile shows an infinite elegance that is diametrically opposed to the wild image, just like his dark eyes at night and the moon is bright. The former is warm but not hot, the latter is clear but not cold, and the pure temperament that the two exude at all times is just like their apt English names.

"Yo, there's still a sun and a moon, so you can call me 'Snow' too, hehe." While shaking hands one by one, Ning Xue introduced her friends, first of all, the blonde woman with the same angelic face next to her, "Frida Rolfis [1], my classmate and friend in Germany, a standard German beauty!" After nodding slightly to each other, Ning Xue looked at the middle-aged man in the front seat with humility: "This is a ...... from Russia" Before the words were finished, the other party turned around, stretched out his long arm lightly, and stretched out a huge palm in the air: "Kharkovsky [2]. The thick cocoons all over the tiger's mouth, the rough skin of vicissitudes, and Ning Xue's slightly unnatural look after suddenly realizing something made Xiaozhou and Chen Feng pay more attention to the Russian who was on the same boat: it seems that he is quite fond of the famous city of Kharkiv in Ukraine, and he also has a local tourism promotion magazine in his other hand.

Looking at each other, this middle-aged man who claims to be Kharkovsky, his sturdy figure, iron-clad outline, and resolute eyes all exude a momentum, that is, lean and majestic! And the first feeling he gives people is that he is naturally peaceful and kind, which is not at all as simple as the handshake strength reveals.

The moment Kharkovsky saw [two Chinese], he knew that they were not ordinary tourists. Judging by the fact that you can run quickly and not feel out of breath with such a heavy bag, you are most likely the same kind of person as yourself. Although Kharkovsky is from Russia, but due to the attention and understanding of Chinese culture in recent years, coupled with the relationship between Ning Xue, he also knows some Chinese Chinese, for the relaxed small talk between the two just now, Kharkovsky has another explanation in his heart: young but accustomed to running around in a foreign land, there is no unnecessary curiosity about people and things, and there is a very unusual physical and mental contrast. Two Chinese guys from afar, their faces have no traces of time precipitation, twenty years old, or younger...... In this case, how could their eyes be filled with the kind of perseverance that can only be tempered and forged by unyielding battles?

Accompanied by the sound of the water stirring when the sightseeing boat started, Kharkovsky smiled faintly and put away his thoughts. Oh, forget it, just like themselves, just to enjoy the warm and humid Dnieper roaming.

The boat leisurely exited the harbor and began the long-awaited water sightseeing trip in the colorful laughter of the passengers. The Dnieper River is the second largest river in Russia in Europe and the third largest river in Europe, originating in the southern foothills of the Valdai Hills in the northwest of the former Soviet Union, flowing through Belarus, Ukraine, and finally emptying into the Black Sea.

In less than half an hour, the boat was already drifting in the upper waters of the Dnieper, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, where the coastal environment is dominated by wide flooded plains and meadows, clumps of willow and alder, and ancient deep lowland swamps. The rare sight of the cool river is like a chilled Frascati white wine, which is mesmerized by the smell of the passengers. Relaxing their bodies and minds, everyone used their most comfortable posture to bask in the lazy sunshine before dusk, as well as the clear river breeze that blended into the breath.

Chen Feng took off his sunglasses, scooped up a wisp of river water and splashed and wiped it until the mirror gently reflected the reddening sunset. At the bow of the boat, an elderly couple took out the fishing rods that had been assembled long ago, as well as various baits, and fished leisurely in the slow movement of the boat. Chen Feng pointed to the catfish gliding past the clear river, and sighed that the fish here are really not small. Xiao Zhou was really unwilling, got up and took out a "thorn ray" from his backpack, and in Chen Feng's surprised eyes, he began to look for prey.

"Hey, hey! You're not going to use it to catch fish, are you? ”

Xiao Zhou's serious expression replied to Chen Feng helplessly, so he could only be happy with him. Ning Xue didn't seem to understand what the strange thing in Xiao Zhou's hand that looked like a heart defibrillator was, and when she heard him say that she was going to fish with this thing, she was looking forward to it, but Kharkovsky recognized it at a glance, it was an energy-improved version of the waterjet! As early as the beginning of this century, the "thorn ray" was used by the US military stationed in Afghanistan to deal with roadside bombs and destroy improvised explosive devices, which are filled with water and explosives of very small weight, and the huge impact force formed after being detonated can accelerate the water flow into a thin and powerful, similar to a sharp blade "water knife", which has great penetration and impact power, and can easily cut through steel.

Carrying this kind of equipment for special combat purposes, which is difficult to buy even on the global arms black market, made Kharkovsky firmly believe in his own judgment: these [two Chinese boys] should go with their own belongings, and the purpose of their trip to Chernobyl is not just sightseeing. Kharkovsky was silent, and looked at Rolfes, thinking that she should have noticed that the two behind her were not ordinary people. On the contrary, Ning Xue beside Rolfes was happily waiting like a child to see how Xiaozhou fiddled with this thing, which was very energetic. Rolfes smiled helplessly and rolled his eyes at Kharkovsky, meaning that there was no way, leave her alone.

Kharkovsky knew that Ning Xue had always been bright-eyed, and she wouldn't notice anything, she just didn't show it, not to mention that she herself was not an ordinary person...... This kind of casualness is better, it will not startle the snake, let everything be spent in peace, and time will naturally tell everyone what these [two Chinese] are going to do. After admonishing himself, Kharkovsky simply stretched his arms, stretched his waist, and slid down on the seat with his eyes closed.

In the curious eyes of other passengers, Xiaozhou stared at the river surface back and forth, and quickly aimed at the target at the moment of discovery. Pity a river fish nearly half a meter long, immediately became an innocent victim under the astonishing power of this high-tech weapon, and the body that was tragically pierced quickly lost the strength to struggle, and was easily dragged up by Xiaozhou in the cheers of Ning Xue and the crew, and hung on the side of the boat as the first trophy of the trip.

"It's better to just throw that fried ......" Chen Feng put on his sunglasses again, and dispelled Xiao Zhou's idea of calling him to come with him to harm the fish, muttering on his lips, but the sharp gaze hidden under the black tactical sunglasses fell directly on Kharkovsky and Rolfes who were ignoring Xiao Zhou's stinging fish in front of them: they didn't show any surprise, thinking that they knew about the water knife, and they didn't feel new. Anyway, this guy Xiaozhou does things like this, and he doesn't mind what will be exposed. "Complete display may be the best concealment", Chen Feng said noncommittally to Xiaozhou's past.

Each other has their own thoughts, but neither of them wants this wonderful trip to spoil prematurely. Only Xiao Zhou and Ning Xue, as well as those tourists who came specifically to enjoy the wind, were completely immersed in the physical and mental pleasure that nature bestowed on people, and they were very fascinated. Entangled Xiaozhou to teach herself how to use the "tool" of a water jet, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Ning Xue did not use the word "weapon" to define it. And Xiaozhou is naturally very willing to demonstrate and teach, Chen Feng thought to himself: It seems that fairyland makes people addicted, and beauties are even more addicted! Xiaozhou, this guy is really good at acting......

The afterglow of dusk is scattered in all directions, immersed in the golden splendor of the water sky, the boat maintains the same rhythm, slowly and leisurely all the way to the north. Xiaozhou was tired of playing, sat down and gossiped with Ning Xue, completely ignoring Chen Feng, who was pretending to be asleep on the side: "The captain doesn't need to put a good engine, he loves to paddle when he has nothing to do, at the speed of his exercise, when will he be able to shake to Chernobyl?" Under the interplay of water and light, Ning Xuetuo's cheeks reclined on the edge of the boat, her fingertips elegantly flicked the corners of her eyebrows, the circle of light refracted by her pink cheeks was gentle and dazzling, and her breath and voice were naturally integrated with the surrounding paintings, like a mountain stream in the forest, and she was sweet: "It seems that you are also experiencing this travel route for the first time, right?" I heard that according to tradition, it is customary to stay overnight on the Dnieper and go to Darchernobyl the next day. In the evening, you can camp by the river, light a campfire, drink and sing, which is the greatest pleasure of the trip. ”

After listening to Ning Xue's introduction, Xiao Zhouxin said hell, how to "smuggle" has a tradition, but he obeyed the arrangement as if he didn't care: "No way, follow the customs of the locals, and besides, with beautiful women, it is a pity to arrive at the end early." Ning Xue covered her mouth and smiled: "What are you doing in a hurry to go to Chernobyl, and leave the most charming mystery to the end, isn't it?" Xiao Zhou suddenly felt that this sentence was quite meaningful, perhaps because he thought of the true purpose of his trip, but he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer. Chen Feng, who had not moved for a long time, took over the conversation at the right time: "He is afraid of the dark at night." It made Xiaozhou look like he was amused: "You birdman didn't fall asleep?" If you know I'm timid, don't suddenly jump out and be scary! Ning Xue didn't ask, just laughed in the front seat.

The cheerful atmosphere made the starry night steal the sky unconsciously. According to the predetermined plan, the boat stopped at the shallows by the river, swaying quietly. Everyone picked up all kinds of food brought in advance and went ashore, began to collect dry firewood, and arranged a bonfire party. Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng were completely unprepared for this, and sat on the boat indifferently. Ning Xue beckoned on the shore and asked them to come over and play together, the two of them couldn't refuse, so they had to carry their bags, go ashore to find a place to sit down, and watch everyone busy around with nothing to do with themselves. However, this did not mean that no one paid attention to their actions, Kharkovsky threw down the large handful of dead branches he had picked up, piled them up in one place, and pointed to Xiaozhou and Chen Feng's backpacks with his free hand, and spoke fluent English: "Is it important, you need to carry it with you at all times?" The two pretended not to understand, and unanimously used a smirk, but they knew in their hearts that these details that they had to pay attention to could not be hidden from Kharkovsky's eyes.

Seeing that the passengers on the same ship took out beef, ham and other raw and cold food from the fresh-keeping bags, and laid them out on the iron frame that had been set up to be baked, Chen Feng asked Xiao Zhou what to eat there, Xiao Zhou was not afraid of hurting Chen Feng and replied truthfully: "High energy compressed biscuits......" "Damn!" "Chen Feng also asked knowingly, he and Xiaozhou didn't come to have a picnic, how could they prepare any barbecue food?" Why don't I go hunt some game nearby? Xiao Zhou pulled out the "Daredevil 911" with "9/11 WE WILL NEVER FORGET" from under the windbreaker on his waist and gestured. Chen Feng hurriedly shoved back the American-made [combat sword] in his hand to pay tribute to the victims of the "9.11" terrorist attack: "Come on, you girl!" Don't think we're arrogant enough? Xiao Zhou pouted, saying that it was just a joke, after all, no one dared to eat the animals and plants in this vicinity, otherwise they would not have discarded all the river fish just called, although there is still some distance from Chernobyl, but the spread and the shadow of nuclear contamination left behind make people have to prevent it.

All the ingredients were ready, and under the organization of the shipowner, everyone sat around the sky-high fireworks lit by a huge pyre, and the food coated with spices was cooked and roasted, exuding bursts of meat fragrance. Only the two Chinese boys, who seemed to have nothing to prepare, sat a little farther away, pitifully nibbling on the hard and unpalatable compressed biscuits in their hands......

However, Chen Feng has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air, and he doesn't care what he uses to eat. And the absurd logic that Xiaozhou adheres to is even more comparable to the natives: as long as you can swallow everything except the toothbrush in your mouth, you can smoke everything except for the [fuse] that can be smoked! A few sips of water sent the biscuits into the stomach to soak, and the hunger that was already controlled by the will was even more vanished in an instant. Xiaozhou shook out a domestic cigarette and handed it to Chen Feng, Chen Feng wanted to take it but quickly found that it was wrong: "You know that I don't smoke!" Xiao Zhou smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I just know that you don't smoke it so I send it to you for fun, I'm bored to death." "The mist that filtered through the lungs was quickly engulfed by the smoke from the campfire. Chen Feng didn't make much nonsense, and took advantage of the fact that no one noticed the corner, and got down to business: "Why do we take a private boat into Chernobyl, aren't we afraid of bad things on the road?" Xiao Zhou's response showed that he had thought it through: "The information we have obtained is incomplete, and there is no guarantee that we can successfully infiltrate by land, and there are two advantages to taking a private boat, first, they know best how to exploit government loopholes to enter the restricted area; Secondly, if something goes wrong, everyone is an intruder, and no one will report us. As for swaggering, maybe it's a little bit, but I just want to test some people within a controllable range......"

At this time, Ning Xue and Rolfes, who were opposite the two, were roasting lamb chops together, laughing and laughing happily in German, perhaps because they were blocked by the terrifyingly large diameter of the column of smoke, and they didn't notice that Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng were discussing something in a rare serious and soft voice. Wolfis suddenly had a spirit, put down the spice bottle with a sly look in his eyes, and reached out to flick Ning Xue's head: "Hey, where is that kid of yours?" Tell him to come and sing a song! As soon as Ning Xue drank her saliva, she choked, but fortunately, no one saw her suddenly reddened cheeks in the firelight: "What my kid, don't go to entertain him." Rolfes held back a smile, poked the tip of Ning Xue's small nose with his index finger, and continued to tease: "Ouch, it's distressing so soon?" I don't entertain him, I entertain you! Ning Xue consciously said that she couldn't say anything, after she reminded her, she wanted to see what Xiaozhou was doing, but when she walked over, she couldn't help but find that he and Chen Feng didn't prepare any barbecue materials, but just took out a pair of homemade woodcut chess from the backpack of the giant plug and played it intently, and the bet on victory and defeat turned out to be the only three compressed biscuits left on the ground......

Ning Xue, who felt quite remorseful about this, hurriedly pulled up the two of them and asked them to come over here to eat something, Chen Feng insisted on setting the ownership of the rations for the next two days, and Xiao Zhou saw that the situation of the remnants of the chess was unfavorable, so he took this opportunity to push the chess: "Don't play!" Draw chess, biscuits are evenly divided. The good situation was ruined so suddenly, seeing that Xiao Zhou picked up two biscuits and ran away with Ning Xue in his pocket, Chen Feng stupidly put away the chess pieces and caught up: "You don't know how to count?" Said to divide the two and take away! ”

Kharkovsky saw Chen Feng, who was speechless and had a face written all over his face, walking with a chess game, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Haha, young man, come, let's kill a game!" "The old and steady Kharkovsky rarely shows a strong interest in anything, Chen Feng thought to himself that he must be a master, it is a great pleasure to meet an opponent of equal strength on the chessboard, if you meet a scoundrel like Xiaozhou, you will be sad. Chen Feng didn't say a word, the chessboard was spread out on the spot, and the chess swing was extremely sharp. Kharkovsky's excitement was evident that he was in trouble, because he really couldn't understand what the chess piece in his hand was. "Although it looks like a pig with its front legs raised, it is actually a horse ......" Chen Feng explained helplessly, and he wanted to strangle Xiao Zhou who carved chess on the spot, this bastard's wood carving level is simply a shame for Chinese! And Tian's shameless Xiaozhou is so lively that he dares to say let himself come first: "Look at my French defense!" Chen Feng replied to him with an extremely contemptuous look: "You girl!" International dialogue, don't insult our Chinese chess style. I'll play my chess, and you will go to your sister! Xiaozhou "ah", only after half a sound did he react to what Chen Feng was pointing to, and walked to the side and sat down awkwardly, but saw that Rolfes was looking at him with a strange look in his eyes, and hurriedly asked Ning Xue: "Can your friend understand the words of our country?" Ning Xue kept smiling: "A little bit." ”

Chen Feng and Kharkovsky played a game, in a small square inch, there seemed to be thousands of troops, between each other's advance and retreat, they were all fighting wits and courage, equal but exciting. Xiao Zhou was looking at it, Ning Xue gently handed over a freshly roasted lamb chop, Xiao Zhou took it with a smile, but took advantage of the gap between her turning around and continuing to cook food with Rolfes, and threw it into the dense grass behind her without tasting it. Kharkovsky was so happy that he took out his flask and knew it was a good vodka. Kharkovsky asked Xiaozhou and Chen Feng if they wanted to come too, and the two almost unanimously said that they would not drink. Two big men who are away from home can't drink, who believes it? However, Kharkovsky did not force or break it, because he knew that an excellent soldier, when performing a mission, is absolutely taboo about eating and drinking from outsiders, which is irresponsible for his own life, and even more irresponsible for his mission! I can understand myself as a fellow soldier, but I am afraid that I will be disappointed by the drug ghost......

The fire faded with the wind, and was finally extinguished by the owner's singing "The glorious will of Ukraine is not dead" with wine. Everyone was full of wine and food, Chen Feng and Kharkovsky were still fighting in the endgame, and there was no bonfire lighting, so the two sides could only temporarily stop fighting and make an appointment to divide the victory the next day. The owner of the boat let everyone rest early, and tomorrow they will have the energy to continue the journey, except for the elderly couple who set up a tent and slept on the river beach and did not forget to insert a fishing rod for night fishing, the rest of the people unanimously decided to spend the night on the boat, anyway, the climate of the Dnieper River in June is comfortable and pleasant, and sleeping in the river wind and the star tent is a wonderful enjoyment that is rare on weekdays.

Ning Xue and Rolfis returned to their seats and took out their coats and put them on, seeing that Xiaozhou and Chen Feng boarded the boat with a punch of "rock-paper-scissors", Chen Feng lost, put aside his backpack and dropped a sentence of "you go up and I go down", and then closed his collar and lay down on the seat...... Ning Xue's eyes widened when she heard this, and the eyes that looked at Xiao Zhou in the moonlight faintly glowed with a suspicious green light, Xiao Zhou immediately realized that Chen Feng's words were too easy to misunderstand, and hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think!" The corners of Kharkovsky's mouth, who was already slightly drunk and closed his eyes in front of him, rose slightly, and he smiled secretly in his heart: Do you mean that the two of them are guarding the middle of the night? Being so cautious and not allowing for the slightest mistake really makes me more and more interested in your actions, hehe.

The secluded Dnieper River, the winding and wide channel, the gentle and gentle flow speed, the entire water surface is like a natural magic mirror with vast smoke waves, the branches of the trees on both sides of the river, the wind and clouds scattered in the starry sky, and the curved bowstring moon hanging in the sky and the lonely sunset, all reflected in the meantime. Xiaozhou listened to the symphony of various insects, the night cry of owls, and some movements in the dense forest, in addition to feeling the coolness of the night, but also to ensure the safety of the night. Looking back at Ning Xue, who saw that the crew had already fallen asleep, a cute little hand stretched out from under the shawl clothes and scratched her face lightly, looking at her relaxed and comfortable expression, she thought she was completely asleep. A girl who looks no more than twenty years old, shouldn't she be a little inexplicably uneasy and scared on this night when she drifts away from civilization? Even if the tranquility of the ancient river forest and the company of her best friends temporarily obscured this feeling in her heart, at least the joy and excitement left over during the day would not make her willing to fall asleep peacefully, right? Thinking of this, Xiao Zhou couldn't help but be a little disappointed......

She is definitely not an ordinary girl, after confirming this again, Xiaozhou softly took out the mosquito repellent canister, slowly unscrewed it, and the compressed gas wrapped in the fragrance flowed out without breath, and soon filled the surroundings, so that there would be no mosquitoes to disturb the gentle Dnieper night.

And he and his brother have long been accustomed to being accompanied by their own shadow in the boundless darkness. The target is deep in the mountains and old forests, barren and inhabited, and the polar regions are desperate, as long as the Master instructs, they will all accept it unconditionally, regardless of whether their bodies will be swallowed up by the ruthlessness of nature, and whether their souls will be destroyed by the ruthlessness of human beings. But today, on this night, everything is so quiet and serene, which makes people feel nostalgic, willing to indulge, and unwilling to break free. I just hope that the morning glow will come later the next day, even if tomorrow everything will change, everything is just illusory. Because, in the confused moonlit night in the past, nothing can make you can't help but look twice, and your eyes are full of darkness. But tonight is different, at least, I want to help her put her hands back under her clothes and cover them again......

In just more than ten years of life, I have long been tired of it, and life goes on endlessly, like a cruel insomnia, with no end in sight and no hope. Live for the mission, live for the sake of living, live for the belief in your heart, live for the distant ideal. Do what you don't want to do, force yourself to look with your eyes wide open – the resentful or begging look of your enemy before taking his last breath, destroying lives in order to save them. Steel, blood, killing, none of this is what you want! All I want is a peaceful life that seems to be something anyone can have, but I can never get it. Therefore, regardless of whether the task is the so-called "last", now, I just want to live seriously while I am alive, and even if God will not sympathize with me, I will continue to give pain.

Kharkovsky's gradually sounded low snoring interrupted Xiaozhou's sad thoughts, listening to the previous paragraph, you can be sure that he is really asleep, unlike Chen Feng, who likes to sleep without anything, never snores or speaks, and wears sunglasses when he sleeps, who knows that this guy can't close his eyes at night, hehe.

When the owner came back at night, he saw that Xiaozhou was still sitting on the stern guardrail, staring motionlessly at the sparkling river in the distance, his long black hair melted into the lonely night, and his ruthless face was like the moon in the water, bright and lonely......
