January 1991.

Just a month ago, the great Soviet Union, ceased to exist.

At one time, it was a red polar bear roaring above Europa, competing with the United States, one of the two poles of the world's pattern.

The people who live here are proud of this great country, and they firmly believe, and are convinced, that the red five-pointed star and the hammer and sickle will smash all the ghosts, snakes, and gods.

There will be no difficulties under the iron fist of the Soviets, and all resistance will come to naught.

People's lives will also get better and better, under the leadership of the CPSU.

However, it was only overnight that the various parts of the Soviet Union had signed treaties and divided into strange countries, and it was not until the bear finally fell that it was discovered that it was already weakened.

The once proud citizens of Moscow also found themselves at this time without the capital of pride.

The abolition of food rationing and the crazy depreciation of the ruble were as if they had seen their wealth suddenly disappear and become destitute overnight.

So much so that the money that could have been used to buy a beautiful little car is now only enough to buy a strip of low-quality rye bread.

The streets and alleys are empty, the snow is piled up quietly and no one is cleaned, and the cars are abandoned and tattered.

Several portraits of Gorbachev are still plastered on the wall, but they are also torn apart.

"Aren't you cold, Lohaka?" Renata looked at Lohaka, who was dressed in thin clothes, and was a little curious for a while.

And she is also very excited now, she will be able to meet her parents soon, so it is inevitable to share some joy with these friends she met along the way.

"It's not cold." Lohaka shook her head and said to Renata.

Cold resistance is extremely easy to evolve and doesn't even require additional essences.

It's better that she has this instinct with her, but now it has been stimulated.

"Zero, will you not want us anymore?" Renata said worriedly.

Renata doesn't believe that anyone in the world can catch Zero, just like mortals can't catch the devil.

But her heart was still beating wildly, expecting the figure of Zero to appear at the entrance of the waiting hall.

The ticket gates will only be open for a few minutes, and if Zero doesn't come back within a few minutes, they'll have to go south.

But she didn't know where at all, she went to that country just because Zero wanted to go.

"He'll be back." Lohaka moved her nose, and he could smell Zero mixed with a faint smell of blood, and the smell of hot coffee.

"Really?" Renata is still quite afraid, after all, to meet again in a distant country? But Zero did not agree on a time or place for the reunion.

Maybe a trip to China is just a lie.

The real reason was that she was useless to Zero, so Zero was gone.

She looked like she was about to burst into tears.

"Don't turn around." Lohaka said, "Zero, what's wrong? ”

She did confirm that Zero smelled of blood. Blood that dies for no more than an hour.

And the feeling of this blood is very similar to Renata's blood.

Renata's parents.

Lohaka knew that Renata wanted to return to her home, but she also felt that Zero wouldn't do anything meaningless.

"I'm going to check on your parents." Zero made up a lie.

"But I'm sorry, it's bad news, your parents are dead, they've been waiting for you to come home for the rest of their lives, and it's a pity they didn't survive this fuel-starved winter."

Zero said cautiously, staring intently at Renata, the expression on his face as if asking, "Do you want me to hug you for comfort when you hear this bad news?" ”

"The K4 train has been cancelled." Lohaka said.

At the same time, she covertly wrapped Zero's wrist in a cloth.

"Let's go along the railroad." Zero said indifferently.

Lohaka doesn't have any opinions, and Renata naturally doesn't.

It's like someone else's vassal.

"We ...... Is this how to go to China?"

Renata asked softly as she leaned on Lohaca's back.

The three, or rather, two were walking knee-deep in the snow, and beside them, the black railroad tracks stretched as far as the eye could see.

Human beings are impossible, and the occasional creature is just a few dead red pines.

"If K4 is still operating, then we will definitely be the most comfortable staterooms, with good snacks, tea and a place to rest." Zero sighed at this point.

"But not now, I can only walk over - if I can, I would even like to grab a plane and drive over. But don't complain, I'm still carrying you......"

Zero babbled, letting out a long white breath.

If you are a normal person, you will be stunned by this kind of travel plan that borders on delusion.

Zero says he's insane, which is indeed a sign of insane.

"With a little more persistence, we can't really walk more than 7,000 kilometers from Moscow to BJ; According to my calculations, in fact, as long as there are more than 800 kilometers, there will be no blockade. ”

He shook his head: "Then we can pick up the tanker truck, get to the city and start traveling again in comfort to the highest specification." ”

Zero shook his body, trying to wake up Renata, who wanted to sleep.

"Don't fall asleep! No matter what illness you will get when you fall asleep like this, aren't you afraid that I will leave you here?"

"I'm afraid."

After a long silence, Renata actually replied very seriously, and this serious admission choked Zero, and after a while, he continued to speak.

"Well, honesty is a good virtue...... Why don't I tell you about your parents, your parents......"

Zero, who had finally found the topic, talked to himself, but Renata's eyes dimmed.

"You killed them, didn't you?"

Zero's body shook slightly, slowly stood up straight, and turned his head to look at Renata, "How do you know?" ”

With his pride and laziness, although he was exposed, he was unwilling to deny it. He had already reluctantly told a lie to comfort the girl, too lazy to use more lies to fulfill the lie.

"You smell of blood," Renata said, "and I look into your eyes and know you're lying." ”

Zero glanced at the inside of his cuff, where there were a few faint drops of blood, which he had accidentally splashed when he pierced Mrs. Chicherin's chest.

It is said that even police dogs can't smell such a little blood.

And Lohaka also helped him wrap it up intimately, shouldn't be.

"Well, I lied." Zero shrugged and said to Renata.

"Your father was an alcoholic and incompetent waste, and he earned the title of professor of the Academy of Sciences by dedicating you to the country, but it was quickly removed."

Lohaka shook his head, sounding terrible.

"Your mother...... It's a good dancer but a very dissolute person, but the saddest thing is to have such a beautiful and excellent daughter as you, but you can't wait to sell her to someone else. ”

Zero shouted angrily, "Then what do you say I should do?" Can I come back and tell you that your family is scum? Damn it! I don't think it's easy to say that, so I thought it would be better to just solve the problem! ”

Renata nodded and stopped talking.

Lohaka was stunned.

She doesn't really understand what parents and family members are, but this kind of thing, don't do it!

Sounds pretty miserable.

"That's it! I'm telling the truth this time, so what's the problem? No problem, I'm going to keep walking! You're being carried like a princess, and my shoes are soaked! "Zero is already impatient.

"No problem." Renata whispered.

There was no more words along the way, only listening to the wind and snow howling in my ears.
