Chapter 9: Memories

Yu Mo ran forward vigorously.

Even if the heart beats violently, the internal organs of your heart and lungs seem to beat out of your mouth.

Even if the lungs are drastically deprived of oxygen due to too strenuous exercise, there is a huge wheezing sound like a bellows.

Even all the clothes on his body were soaked, and sweat kept dripping, splashing on the road he had run.

Even the wound on his forehead that had just been stitched up was broken again, and a blood-red mark like a plum blossom bloomed on the disinfectant cotton attached to his forehead.

Yu Mo still tried his best to run forward.

Suddenly, as if he had exhausted all his strength, the soles of Yu Mo's feet went soft and he fell on the road around the sea.

Yu Mo knelt on the ground, his hands on the ground, the greedy man breathed the oxygen in the air, gasping for breath, and after a while, he slowly gathered his strength and got up from the ground.

After a moment of rest, Yu Mo came back to his senses and slowly sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind. "There was no sound of cars and helicopters, and it seemed that I didn't find myself as a deserter."

Yu Mo, who was sure that he was safe for the time being, began to think about where he should go in the future.

"The distance from the base to the nearest civilian area is fifteen kilometers, and even if it is a long detour, it will definitely not exceed twenty kilometers. When I was in the army, I used to march 40 kilometers a day, and considering that I was more energetic at the beginning, I also said that I only needed 8 hours, which means that I could get there before dark. Yu Mo carefully calculated the time it took for him to arrive at the civilian residential area.

Subsequently, Yu Mo began to think about the way out after arriving at his civilian residential area: "After arriving there, first change out of your conspicuous soldier's clothing, and then replenish the items you need, and then hide in the slums of the civilian residential area." I heard Matt, a girl who once went to the slums to taste the flavor of gypsy girls, said that there were people and snakes in the place, and it was chaotic, and the military and police had no choice but to give up slowly after several rectifications. So as long as I keep hiding in the slums, the military should be able to take me if I find myself at the base where I escaped, regardless of whether the vehicles or helicopters are dispatched. Besides, there are still more than ten hours before Matt and the others are ready to rest after they have drunk heavily in the evening, and then my escape should not be discovered. In other words, even if he is captured, it will be at least after the end of the battle tomorrow, so that he can at least avoid the fate of being killed by Yama on the battlefield tomorrow, and he will be willing to be locked up for a year. By the time the battle starts tomorrow, I'll have fled to a place where there is no time loop and no death, right? Thinking about this section, Yu Mo, who gradually settled down in his heart, began to work hard to catch up.

The sun hanging high in the sky sprinkled dazzling light, stinging Yu Mo's eyes, the wind on the seaside with a salty smell, blowing on his cheeks, a poster was swept up by the wind and floated towards Yu Mo. Yu Mo stretched out his hand, grabbed the poster, and stretched it out in front of his eyes.

"Join us in fighting Yama at the forefront of the battlefield and fighting for all of humanity. The next hero of mankind may be you! On the poster, a HA full of steel and technology is holding a gun in one hand and pointing at Yu Mo in the other, and countless people behind him are looking at this HA with admiration and gratitude.

Looking at this poster, in an instant, Yu Mo's thoughts returned to 5 years ago, when humans and Yama had just begun to break out, and Yama was constantly slaughtering humans.

At that time, Yu Mo told his parents that his dream was to join the front-line troops and fight monsters at the forefront. But his parents wanted Yu Mo to join the Academy of Science. According to his parents, he was able to defend his family and country without going to war, and contribute to the human struggle against Yama.

Ironically, the parents who always hoped that they would not go to war eventually sacrificed for humanity and became heroes. And I have always wanted to join the front-line troops, and I survived the battle with the monster at the front line, and when I went to the battlefield for the first time, I was scared like a little sheep facing jackals, tigers and leopards, and I could only tremble in place, waiting for the monster to devour me.

In fact, Yu Mo didn't actually fight against Yama to protect humans, as long as the hero appeared in the movie.

Yu Mo didn't have the slightest great ambition to save mankind, but he kept feeling a sense of anxiety and anger like a nine-in-a-row that had been challenged several times but could not be solved, or buried in the pile of puzzles but unable to find a suitable puzzle.

Yu Mo thinks that the waves of war are turbulent, maybe he can completely change his timid and cowardly personality, or he may have some romantic feelings, thinking that the last piece of the puzzle to shape himself into a perfect man is to fall on the battlefield.

Even so, Yu Mo doesn't need to become a hero who is blessed by everyone at all, but he just wants to let a few friends know that he still has considerable strength, so it is enough.

As a result, Yu Mo has become the virtue he is now.

After hard training in the army, Yu Mo thought that he had only obtained a few skills that could not be used in actual combat, as well as well-defined muscles. In addition, he is still cowardly and cowardly, and this world is still the same as before.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry for you, it's taken me so long to understand. It was not until he became a deserter from the army that he had an epiphany, which is also very ironic......" Yu Mo's heart was filled with an indescribable sadness and loss at this moment.

"Are you a soldier like your brother?"

The sudden voice next to him interrupted Yu Mo's thoughts, making Yu Mo look up from the poster. Since Yu Mo was in a daze just now, he didn't notice that someone was approaching behind him.

There were three people standing on the embankment.

A middle-aged man about 40 years old has a very ordinary face, some subtle wrinkles on his face, and his eyes are broad and gentle. Next to the man was a quiet, docile middle-aged woman, she held her husband tightly, standing quietly beside the man, casting a friendly smile at Yu Mo, with dependence and serenity in her eyes, giving people a feeling as if as long as there was a man next to her, even if the sky fell, there was no problem.

And the owner of the source of the voice just now is a lively and cute girl who hides half of her body behind a middle-aged couple. The girl has a pair of beautiful big eyes, and now she is staring at Yu Mo curiously with big eyes.

The middle-aged man smiled at Yu Mo and explained, "Sorry to disturb you, this is my wife and daughter, we are going to visit our son in the base, and we just got off the car not far from here." You're a soldier at base, right? I don't think I've seen you in a civilian area. ”

"I'm a soldier at the base." After Yu Mo finished speaking, he reacted, he was a deserter, what if the couple asked him to show them the way? What a goddamn big mouth!

"Oh." The middle-aged man who heard Yu Mo's answer groaned for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, looked at Yu Mo's eyes full of questions, and then asked, "Little brother, what are you doing here?" Seeing that you are not driving a vehicle, you should not be visiting relatives in a civilian area, right? ”

Yu Mo suddenly panicked in his heart, "Damn! What to do? ”

Just when Yu Mo was at a loss, the voice of a middle-aged man suddenly realized came from his ears, "Oh, I know, the little brother must be a soldier who came out to patrol, right?" ”

"Ugh! Be...... Yes, I was a soldier sent out to patrol the base, because ...... Because the area around the base has been very unsafe lately, there are Yama infested. Yu Mo stammered the man's words, and then made a far-fetched excuse for his patrol.

Hearing Yu Mo's answer, the man suddenly became nervous, with a hint of panic in his eyes, and repeated what Yu Mo had said: "Is there Yan Mo haunted around the base?" ”

"Uh...... Kindness...... Yes. Yu Mo could only admit that he had just spoken.

The middle-aged man, who once again confirmed that he had heard correctly, groaned for a moment, with a flattering smile on his face, and then in Yu Mo's eyes with a strong premonition that something was wrong, he pleaded: "Little brother, you see, we are a family of three, and it is so dangerous here, can you protect us to the base?" My son's name is Jack, and he is a soldier at the base. Could it be your comrades-in-arms? ”

"Damn, why didn't you say anything more? What now? Yu Mo couldn't help but be annoyed.

After thinking about it carefully, Yu Mo could only refuse stubbornly: "I'm very sorry, I'm on official business." Then Yu Mo seemed to be trying to explain his unkind reason for rejecting them: "Besides, I really met Yama." I can't protect you, can I? ”

At the end, Yu Mo was afraid of causing more trouble, so he deliberately added another sentence in a very impatient voice: "You better hurry up to the base, I will continue to patrol." ”

The middle-aged man heard the impatience in Yu Mo's tone, so he could only say helplessly. "Okay, thank you."

"Hmph, what a nasty big brother! If it were my brother, he would have shown us the way! As soon as I met my brother, I told him that the big brother who was patrolling outside the base today was bad. Suddenly, the little girl's voice interjected.

"Don't be unreasonable!" The middle-aged man scolded his daughter softly, but his eyes were full of doting. Then he turned to Yu Mo and said, "I'm sorry, the child is not sensible." ”

Seeing the middle-aged man's doting eyes, Yu Mo's heart once again reminded him of his thoughts about his parents. "I used to be looked at like this by my parents a lot, how long has it been since I saw this kind of gaze." Yu Mo, who was a little sad, replied in a low voice: "It's okay, you guys should leave quickly." ”

"Yes, thank you again. Baby, let's go. After the middle-aged man thanked him again, the man took the little girl's hand and passed by Yu Mo.

After walking about 10 meters, Yu Mo's body suddenly shook, stopped, stood in place for a while, and turned around.

Because Yu Mo thought of what the girl said just now, "As soon as I met my brother, I told him that the big brother who was patrolling outside the base today was bad." ”

The girl's brother Jack must know that there are no patrolling soldiers at the Ludao base, and under doubt, he will definitely ask the middle-aged man about his facial features, without too much detail, there are few yellow-skinned and black-haired people in the entire base, plus the gauze on his head, he must quickly confirm that it is himself.

"It's less than 10 minutes before I escape from the base, and even if it takes them 1 hour to get to the base, I will be caught back by the vehicles and helicopters sent from the base!" After Yu Mo calculated the time again, he came to a conclusion.

"Even if I send them back now, regardless of the gatekeeper's suspicions about them, they may tell their son that the little girl is more likely to mention me to her brother."

"So, no matter what, I'll be captured, and then I'll go to war tomorrow, and then die!"

"No, you can't let them go to base."

"Kill them?" Yu Mo's eyes were full of hesitation and fierce struggle.
