Chapter 41: The Journey
The next day, Van with enough supplies and equipment left the main city of the Angel of Death alone on a combat motorcycle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The roar of the motor's motor echoed through the countryside controlled by the Angel of Death, and the rider had no intention of slowing down after traversing multiple areas.
After two long days of riding, Van finally arrived at his destination, hastily concealed the bike, assembled the disassembled AWM, and carried it behind his back.
The area looks extra tranquil but like a paradise where the sparse birdsong rings in your ears from time to time also indicates that the area is "vibrant", after all, there are not many surviving wildlife in this era.
Not only do they have to hide from other predators, but more importantly, they have to hide from the chaotic and hungry homeless, and these homeless people are much more terrible than those predators, and everything that can be used as food will be used as food by them.
Van walked through the area at a steady pace, his expression flat and indifferent, but his somewhat wavering eyes proved that he was not as calm as he thought.
Van suddenly crouched down, and on the snow under his feet there was a beast footprint the size of his palm.
"Siberian Plains Wolf." Van found a detached wolf hair on one side of the footprint.
Van frowned and followed the trail of footprints closely.
The footprints stop in a small valley where the snow is much thinner than outside the valley, proving that there is a microclimate that is isolated from the outside world.
Van climbed the rocks exposed beyond the snow almost in a galloping motion, and the winding path was abandoned by him, and the reason he did it was only to be quicker, to get to the cave in the middle of the mountain.
Van had firmly grasped the Colt python in his right hand, because in his perceptual world, there were three pulses of life that should never have appeared here.
Van slipped into the cave like a shadow, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, a petite figure flew into his arms.
"Big brother!"
Van was visibly relieved, but he still didn't let go of his grip on the trigger.
As if sensing Fan's mood, this petite figure poked out the head buried in Fan's arms, and the purple flawless pupils reflected Fan's face close at hand.
If the other members of the A-30-18 mission were still here that day, they would have been amazed at the scene before them, because the child who was supposed to die was actually here alive like this, in the central area under the jurisdiction of the Angel of Death Area A.
"Big brother, they're all my friends." The little girl smiled with her crescent-like eyes.
"Phew! Phew! A vigilant roar echoed inside the cave, and two adult Siberian plain wolves slowly walked out of the darkness.
"Da Bai, Er Bai, this is Big Brother! You can't be rude. A childish voice sounded in the cave.
And what is strange is that these two sturdy plain wolves are really not full of ferocity, but a meek appearance and let out a low whisper.
"Hee-hee, big brother, how about Hitomi is amazing!" The little girl smiled like an inviter.
"What's going on?" Fan finally let go of his grip on the gun and asked with some confusion.
"Big brother, this was originally Dabai's former home, but the last time we came, Dabai had been away from here for a long time. After you left, within a few days Dabai came back with two hundred, and they brought back their little babies! ”
Hitomi pointed to the dark place, where there was indeed a wolf cub in Fan's perceptual vision.
"Why didn't they attack you?" Van finally asked his doubts.
"Why are they attacking me?" Hitomi asked rhetorically, her face full of confusion.
Hitomi's answer stopped Fan, this innocent little girl can indeed surprise Fan.
"Your food—" Van changed the subject.
"We quickly ran out of the food left by the eldest brother last time, and the food in the past few days was all found by Da Bai and Erbai, but Da Bai and Erbai both like the food left by the big brother." Hitomi said with wide eyes.
"You guys, can you communicate?" Van frowned.
"Huh? Why not? Hitomi asked rhetorically.
"You're saying you can really communicate?" Fan's face began to look incredulous.
"Isn't it okay for big brother?" Hitomi asked innocently, "Oh, Hitomi forgot, Big Brother Bora said before that this is Hitomi's secret and won't let me tell anyone else, but Big Brother is a good person, Hitomi wants Big Brother to know." Hitomi squinted and smiled.
Fan looked at the little girl with an innocent expression in front of him with some complicated complexity, her pupils were like mist, and the closer Fan got to her, the more she could feel that kind of incredible.
Fan couldn't figure out what produced these abilities of Hitomi, he instinctively worried about the true identity of this little girl, but it was only worrying, when he would rather choose to disobey the order of the organization that day than save this little girl, he and the fate of this little girl have been linked since then.
Fan gently touched Hitomi's long hair, and then brushed his fingertips over Hitomi's face, the scar he had created still hadn't healed.
The wound caused by the vulture's terrifying heat caused almost all the tissues around the wound to die, and even with Hitomi's terrifying recovery ability that day, the wound could not be completely healed.
"Does it still hurt?" Van asked softly.
Hitomi hesitated visibly, then shook her head with a grin, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”
"Big brother, is this really what you did?" Hitomi asked with her big innocent eyes.
"Yes." Van low's unhearable answer.
"It's okay, big brother, Hitomi doesn't remember, Hitomi only remembers that it was the big brother who rescued Hitomi." Hitomi hugged Fan's arm tightly, as if this would allow Fan's to stay by his side forever, this child who has experienced hardship, what he lacks most is the sense of security that he can rely on.
Fan smiled softly, but there was some bitterness under the smile, Hitomi woke up and didn't remember the process of fighting between him and Fan at all, and she didn't know that all the animals in the entire valley had been cleared, she only knew that when she woke up from a coma, it was Fan who had been silently by her side.
That's enough, although Hitomi is still just a child, but she knows that sometimes being alive is already a great thing, and those things that have been lost, she is not qualified to remember them at all.
After losing Bella, Van was already the only sustenance she could rely on.
Fan then opened the backpack behind him, which was full of all kinds of food, these high-energy foods were enough to support Hitomi for more than half a month.
"Big white, second white, look at this is food! Delicious food. Hitomi screamed happily, jumping back and forth between the two plains wolves.
For her, being able to eat a full meal is the most happy thing for her, and her big brother will help her deal with other things, and the reason why she can be so sure is because she can feel the warmth hidden behind Fan's complex feelings, that is the warmth without any impurities, and it is also the warmth that she has never felt.
