It was past its brightest hour and was gradually sliding into darkness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhao Yu was carrying a backpack and squatting on the side of the road in a daze.

Two hours ago, Borg shamelessly wished him a smooth ride to San Francisco, and then stuffed all his belongings into a backpack: "Old man, hurry up, you won't be able to catch the car in San Francisco if you delay any longer......"

Zhao Yu kept rolling his eyes at him.

"Oh yes, in addition to not registering you on the crew list, I also applied for cancellation of your military status." Borg didn't see Zhao Yu's expression, "You are a WPA citizen, and I believe they will approve it soon, so it's useless for you to stay in Weide City, so it's better to be honest and on the road." ”

So Zhao Yu and the backpack were thrown out together.

"Old man, you know the sergeant didn't mean that." Hunter followed Zhao Yu, "He's just ......"

Zhao Yu turned around and shrugged at him: "I know what the commander is thinking, just like Lieutenant Tony Lee before, but this guy's acting skills as a villain have always been extremely bad." ”

Hunter was stunned and grinned: "Since you know, I don't worry, what are you going to do next?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet." Zhao Yu said honestly, "I don't know what I can do when I go back to WPA, my family and friends are long gone, and I have the most acquaintances here now." ”

Hunter earnestly persuaded: "But after all, it is your hometown, your home. Believe me, just get back home and everything will be fine. ”

"I hope so...... Is that all you want to drive me away? ”

"Of course." Hunter replied, "I think I could write a best-selling novel about the experience of coming out of the 475 Mecha Regiment, but the war in North America is still going on, and we may die tomorrow, and by that time...... Old man, you are the only one who knows these things, and only you will remember what happened on the road, the people who died. If we do hang up, I hope at least one person will miss us. ”

Zhao Yu looked at him suspiciously: "Hunter, I don't remember you have such a sentimental character, right?" ”

"Ah, being seen?" Hunter grinned and bared his white teeth, "It was the sergeant who asked me to tell you." ”

"That bastard, if I really want to write a novel, I'll hack him to death."

"Remember to send me one, e-books are also OK, oh in English, I basically can't understand Chinese." Hunter patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder, "The station is ahead, let's go!" ”

There is only one bus on the station, which is slightly more magnificent than Zhao Yu's time, and the wheels have been increased to twelve, which is enough to accommodate 120 people, but there are at least 300 people queuing at the station.

So Zhao Yu silently found a place to squat, thinking about life while queuing.

He hadn't really made up his mind to return to the WPA, but now it was clear that the barracks-like city of Weide was no longer suitable for him, an outcast who was kicked out of the team by his ruthless boss, so ...... Maybe if you go to San Francisco, you can find something else?

About half an hour later, the bus slowly pulled out of the station, and another bus of the same kind drove into the platform, and at the same time the announcement sounded: "This is the last train to San Francisco today, please ...... passengers who do not have seats in line at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

The rest of the people let out a burst of complaints and curses, and dispersed one after another, leaving only Zhao Yu still squatting there scratching his head: "The seats in San Francisco are so sought-after?" Why are there so many people leaving? ”

"In this kind of small city, the news spreads very quickly, and it is estimated that the news that Weide City is going to become the front line has spread, and those who were lucky enough to stay can't sit still." A voice suddenly sounded behind him, "I've heard that in your time, almost every American could afford a car, but now it's a lot worse." ”

Zhao Yu looked back in surprise: "Christine......?" How did you get here? ”

Christine changed into casual clothes, her black hair was tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, she didn't look like a soldier at all, but she looked like a college student who was going on a trip, especially with a bigger bag on her back than Zhao Yu's, and Zhao Yu bet that her laptop that never left her was also in it. Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Christine pouted: "I just went to your dormitory, and the first class soldier Hunter said that you were waiting for the train at the station, so I came over." ”

"Oh? Is there something going on? Zhao Yu looked at the big bag behind her, "Don't say that you were also expelled from the military!" ”

"It's hard to put it into words...... Christine sighed, looked left and right, and reached out to grab Zhao Yu's sleeve, "In short, this place is not suitable for a long time, Zhao Yu, you are going to San Francisco, right?" Mind being with me? ”

"Are you really leaving?" Zhao Yu was completely surprised, "You're still an active soldier, right?" ”

"Can your curiosity strike at another time?" Christine frowned, "I can't say anything! I'll tell you when we're free, now we have to find a car to leave Wede City! ”

"Now?" Zhao Yu looked around, "Seriously, I don't think there's much hope." ”

From the afternoon to the present, Zhao Yu has also seen a lot of vehicles in and out, to be precise, more in, less out, all kinds of military vehicles loaded with war supplies continue to drive into the city, but there are very few cars out of the city, Zhao Yu can be sure that no more than 10 cars left, and this has to count the two buses he didn't catch up.

"It's okay, I'm ready." Christine pulled Zhao Yu to the intersection on the other side, "But you need to cover." ”

Zhao Yu was about to ask what kind of cover it was, but he saw Christine holding his left arm with both hands, and leaning his head on his shoulder, and instantly changed into a bird's appearance, and suddenly felt a little helpless: "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

"Pretending to be your girlfriend, of course." Christine smiled, a little girl in love, "so that people don't get suspicious." ”

"What's the doubt?" Zhao Yu couldn't help but look at himself when he saw several people passing by, and his expression seemed to have a little disdain, "You...... Don't you think we're a bit of a compelling one? ”

"Zhao Yu, no wonder they call you old man." Christine dissatisfied, "A beautiful girl leaning next to you will only ask these questions?" ”

"Because I've seen your true face, your painting style has changed too much, and I can't adapt to it......"

"What does it mean to be true!"

As he spoke, a red pickup truck drove over, this pickup truck was not young when it looked at its mottled and peeling appearance, Zhao Yu secretly guessed that it was at least thirty years old, and he didn't know how long he could drive, even if he was lying on his stomach after an hour...... At this time, a slightly bad premonition rose, and Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Christine in astonishment: "Don't you say that this is the preparation you made...... Are you going to take this car to San Francisco? ”

"This is the car that is most likely to carry us." Christine whispered, "Don't talk too much, I'll deal with it." ”

The red pickup truck stopped in front of the two, and a white woman who looked to be about fifty years old poked her head out of the window: "Mr. Zhao, Miss Laluna?" ”

"It's us!" Christine waved her hand enthusiastically, "I'm really bothering you!" ”

The white woman looked at Zhao Yu, and her originally disdainful expression softened a little: "He's your boyfriend at WPA?" Younger than I thought. ”

Zhao Yu tried his best to suppress the desire to complain about "I'm older than your grandfather".

"yes, we met online! He came to me! Christine smiled like a happy maiden about to get married, "So please, Mrs. Krauss!" ”

The white woman looked back at the driver—a white man of about the same age, with a beard, who just shrugged her shoulders: "Whatever you want." ”

"Okay." Mrs. Claus pointed to the back compartment, "But our cab is already stuffed, and you don't mind sitting in the back compartment for hours, do you?" ”

"Of course I don't mind!" Christine dragged Zhao Yu to the back carriage without hesitation, "Great, I thought I would leave tomorrow." ”

"You're so lucky, little girl, and I hope you can stay lucky." Mrs. Claus muttered.

"Luck comes from hard work!" Christine replied sweetly.

There was also a lot of debris piled up in the back compartment of the pickup, but at least there was still a place for Zhao Yu and Christine to sit, and after the two climbed into the car, the red pickup truck roared and drove towards the highway south of Weide City.

"Alright, Christine, are we safe now?" The pickup truck didn't drive fast, and the wind in the rear compartment wasn't too strong, Zhao Yu leaned his back against an old bookcase, "Can you explain from beginning to end?" ”

Christine raised her eyebrows, with a smug expression on the little fox who stole the chicken: "It's hard to say, where to start?" ”

"Let's start simple - how did you get in touch with this broken car...... Uh, pickups? And they're willing to take us away? Zhao Yu remembered Mrs. Claus's disdainful eyes again, "I think that Mrs. Claus didn't seem to like me very much at first." ”

"Uh, Zhao Yu, your instincts are very sharp......" Christine showed a rare hint of embarrassment, "Uh, uh, like you heard, I said that we are in a romantic relationship, and you are from WPA...... You may not know that although the West Coast Republic and the WPA are allies, people in our country are actually prejudiced against girls dating WPAs......"

Christine explained a few words, and Zhao Yu quickly understood: WPA in this era is a symbol of heaven for the citizens of the West Coast Republic, coupled with years of war, not everyone is willing to stay here and fight to the end with their former compatriots, it is not uncommon for girls to find a WPA husband to immigrate to WPA, so as to escape from the North American continent, and even young women do not hesitate to marry men who are fifty or sixty years older than themselves in exchange for the qualification to enter WPA, Even if the WPA law stipulates that it is difficult for such immigrant marriages to obtain the husband's inheritance - as long as they can go to the WPA, it is better to stay anywhere than to stay in this homeland where the sun does not see.

Of course, for citizens of other West Coast republics, this kind of exchange of their bodies for the opportunity to defect to the WPA is not very popular.

"Times have really changed...... Zhao Yu sighed in a low voice, and suddenly reacted, "So, Mrs. Claus thought at first that you were also looking for an old man from WPA, and I was the scumbag old man who coveted the appearance of a little girl?" ”

"That's right." Christine couldn't help but laugh, "Look, Sergeant Borg, they keep calling you old man, and it's not wronged, right?" ”

"I've been wronged!" Zhao Yu finally understood why everyone looked at him with contempt since Christine turned into his girlfriend, and why Mrs. Krauss had a slightly better attitude after discovering that she was still a young man—at least not an old pervert.

"Because of the fear of military intelligence leakage, the city of Weide has strict control over the recent departure of citizens, in addition to the fixed shuttle, driving a private car to leave needs to apply in advance, and the Krauss family has been approved yesterday, so I sent them an email, hoping to take a ride." "They wouldn't have taken that risk without you as a WPA boyfriend, after all, WPA citizens are still a bit privileged in our country." ”

"But how can they be sure I'm from the WPA?" Zhao Yu said curiously, "Just with my face?" Asian-American citizens of the West Coast Republic are not uncommon in the Fifth War Zone, right? ”

"That's not their responsibility, it's not their job to identify the WPA, and you're a real WPA citizen in the first place."

"You've counted it, right......" Zhao Yu pinched his eyebrows, "Okay, next question...... Why would you suddenly leave Wild City for San Francisco? Look at you like this, you really look like a deserter. ”

Christine let out a long sigh.

"It's hard to say, I'll pick and choose to say it simply." She looked at Zhao Yu, put away her smile and said, "My name is Laluna." ”

"I know, this is the pseudonym you just gave Mrs. Krauss, what's wrong?"

"This is my real name, Laluna Mata." Christine replied, "There has never been such a person as Christine Sanchez. ”
