Three months ago.

November 7, 2050, 5:35 p.m.

The evening sun shone silently in, crawling silently on the wooden floor, time in the room seemed to stand still, the air was frozen without a trace of flow, the girl lay on the bed in dishevels, her long pale blonde hair untied and scattered under her, she looked at the ceiling above her head, motionless, letting the sun slowly climb up her cheeks.

Belle was casual when she was alone, the room was a little messy, she was wearing a white shirt with no underwear in it, two buttons casually buttoned, a dark coat casually thrown on the edge of the bed, socks on the floor, and a sniper rifle tucked away in a long gun case, leaning against the door.

She lay like this for a long time, the late autumn sun crawling into bed through the window, the second hand of the clock ticking by, and there was no other sound, and time passed slowly in silence.

This was the case all this time, and when there was no task, Belle lay quietly in bed, not speaking or moving, from afternoon to evening.

Occasionally, she would fall asleep like this, and when she woke up, it was already dark outside the window.

In the past, Belle Nikano didn't have a boring life, and Belle considered herself a pretty good person to pass the time...... Compared to those who only stay in the laboratory or training ground all day, she organizes her day in an orderly manner, going out to work when she has tasks, going to Sanwu to practice swords in her free time, and sitting in her room watching movies at night.

Belle has collected a lot of movie CDs and copies, some of which were given by others, some of which she has scavenged herself, and there are a whole row of DVDs on her bookshelf, as well as two large portable hard disks with two terabytes of movies in them, and when she rests, she takes off the movie CDs on the bookshelf, picks one and stuffs it into the computer drive, and then sits on the bed with the quilt in her arms.

She had watched the movies she had collected several times, but Belle still enjoyed them, and when she memorized the plot of a movie, Belle's joy was memorizing lines.

She likes to recite the lines of the movie characters one by one in advance, and then watch the characters in the movie repeat their own words.

For example, watching the movie "Infernal Affairs", at the end of the movie, Andy Lau and Tony Leung met on the rooftop of the building, and Belle sat in front of the computer screen, holding a pillow, waiting for Tony Leung to raise his pistol.

She said in unison with Andy Lau in the movie: "I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person." ”

Immediately afterwards, she played Tony Leung and said coldly: "You tell the judge to go." ”

Then he fell on the bed and laughed.

"Infernal Affairs" is clearly a heavy, dark and bitter movie, but Belle still has no heart to watch, she doesn't know the actors in the film, so she asked Zhao Gao who Andy Lau and Tony Leung are, Zhao Gao replied that they were two famous Hong Kong actors, obviously nonsense.

The movie is dubbed in Cantonese, Belle doesn't know Cantonese, she only remembers the pronunciation, and the pronunciation is very inaccurate.

Like all children born after the apocalypse, Belle can only learn about the human society through movies and books, but the plot of the movie is often exaggerated and distorted, and after watching too many Hong Kong movies, Belle will feel that Hong Kong is a terrible place, full of violence, crime, drugs and gambling.

The alarm clock tinkled off.

It's six o'clock.

Belle slowly got up, her long messy blond hair fell down, she was very tired lately, especially after the end of the Assassin Operation, she didn't want to watch the movie anymore, and the dubbing of the characters lost the fun, she often lay in bed silently, just letting time pass.

She began to change her clothes, put on her underwear, then put on her coat, and finally tied her hair in front of the mirror.

The girl in the mirror looked haggard.

Belle patted herself on the cheek, cheered herself up, put on her socks and shoes, and picked up her sniper rifle by the door. Her original Anzio super rifle has been lost in the Jin Mao Building, and now Belle has replaced it with a Lee Enfield AWM sniper rifle, and there are very few sniper rifles that can be used in the security area, because this thing is difficult to maintain, and it has been left unattended in the warehouse for more than ten years, and there are no more sniper rifles left in good condition.

The AWM sniper rifle uses .308 Winchester ammo (7.62 mm caliber), which is enough for ordinary zombies, but it is not enough to resist hunters...... A sharpshooter like Zero would also need an M82A1 Barrett to be effective against hunters.

AWM is less powerful, but better than nothing.

Belle went out with a rifle on her back, and in the safe zone, it was the rule that the weapon would not leave her body.

She was going to find Sanwu to practice swords, and she would meet at the training ground at half past six in the afternoon every day.

Rech was a little surprised how this troublesome sister suddenly started practicing cold weapons, Belle is not like Lemon, Lemon is the main assault attacker, as the last trump card against hunters, she needs to be proficient in both firearms and knives, but Belle is a sniper with long-range support, she never has to contact hunters at close range, and it is enough to bring a pistol for self-defense...... If even Belle needs to draw her knife and fight the hunter at any time, it means that the safe zone is over.

Moreover, it is not something that anyone can do with a cold weapon and a hunter, and the reason why Lemon can do it is because she has the ability to transform into a corpse, and the speed and strength of Lemon in the corpse state can surpass that of a hunter.

But ordinary people also want to do this to find death, give you a knife, can you beat the lion? Hunters are much more fierce than lions.

Belle took off her shoes and stepped through the gates of the training ground, where Lemon was sitting on the sidelines.

The people who come and go are people from the executive department, and the gym is next door to the training ground, and when there is no task, the men from the executive department often come to do a few sets of bench presses.

"Three nos." Belle beckoned, putting her rifle aside.

Lemon opened her eyes, turned her head, and nodded.

"What are you practicing today?" Belle leaned over and sat down in front of Lemon, "Basic skills?" Strength training? Or reaction speed? ”

Lemon didn't speak, she picked up the wooden knife on the floor and handed it to Belle.

Belle took the wooden knife, which Lemon had sharpened with a knife when she picked up the wood herself, saying that the knife was actually just a straight stick, and that the workmanship was very rough and of uneven quality, and it was only used for training.

In the past, there was only one lemon who practiced knives, but now there is one more Belle, so the number of wooden knives has also doubled, because the wood used to make wooden knives has everything, and some materials are very brittle, and they will break when they are beaten, so wooden knives are also consumables, and Belle and lemon practice can break three or four a day.

But the number of wooden knives in the training ground returned to normal the next day, and I don't know when Lemon made up for them, which shows that Sanwu may also be a good carpenter.

"You're not in a good mental state." Lemon whispered, "Insomnia?" ”

Belle was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised her hand and touched her cheek.

"Is it that obvious?"

Lemon nodded.

"You look tired, would you like to take a break?"

Belle took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Let's continue to practice knives."
