The eternal dusk seems to freeze in time, but the buildings in front of it are becoming clearer and clearer.

The buildings are square, with the austere aesthetic of the previous era, like soldiers, lined up on the edge of a birch forest.

In the twilight, the town was deserted and uninhabited.

"People have been evacuated, I hope they're okay."

The leader of the military said that Qiao Du chatted with him for a while, and learned that his name was Lermontov, and he was the commander of this assault company.

"Why evacuate?"

Qiao Du was curious, he felt that these people had their own stories, and they seemed to have a lot to do with what happened here.

"Because of those monsters, monsters from foreign lands."

Lermontov said, feeling that the young man in front of him was much more mature than he looked, and he walked ahead with his rifle in hand, and said to Jo Twilight as he watched his surroundings.

"Makolov, you take your men to the east to guard the front, Trotsky, you take your men to the west, and the rest follow me."

He instructed his subordinates to investigate the situation in various parts of the town, as if to use it as a stronghold.

"I also have a younger sister who loves to sing."

After making sure that there were no monsters in the town, the captain told everyone to rest in place, and after lighting the bonfire, he said to Qiao Du and Bai Lian, in his opinion, maybe Qiao Du and Bai Lian are brother and sister.

"My waist also likes to sing."

Qiao Du nodded and replied.

Lermontov didn't care what Qiao Dui's waist meant in his words, but continued.

"Sadly, she died in a monster attack, and she didn't even have a tombstone."

The people who were attacked by those monsters, like the flesh and blood corpses they had seen in the town before, were mixed together and indistinguishable, and in this chaotic situation, it was unlikely that anyone would come to collect the corpses and bury them.

Dinner is cooked on the campfire, and the big pot is boiled with brown bread, cured meat, potatoes, onions, etc., and the taste is not expected, and it is a luxury to fill your stomach.

Qiao Duan was not polite, picked up the steel bowl and ate wildly, Bai Lian was very confused, she didn't know what the situation was now, they were supposed to solve the crisis of [Hell Gate] with Su Hong and Du Ruo, but suddenly they followed this group of soldiers to the core area of Chernobyl, and Qiao Du next to him still looked like a matter of course.

It's weird.

However, Bai Lian is not very obsessed with these things, anyway, she will reset after zero o'clock, and it makes no difference to her what the current situation is.

As for tomorrow's troubles, leave it to tomorrow's self to worry about.

She followed Qiao Du to eat a lot.

Either way, what you eat is the most real.

The dusk here seemed to be forever, but to these soldiers, it seemed as if time was passing normally, and after a while, the soldiers who had eaten dinner began to prepare their weapons and whisper to each other as if it were late night.

"Tomorrow morning, I will send you to the town outside, this will become a dangerous battlefield, and children like you should not stay here."

Lermontov said, and he found a man with light blond hair.

"Belikov, get them an old horse and set off tomorrow morning."

"Understood."

There was no stain on his body, he still had a pamphlet in his hand, and the other soldiers next to him called him political commissar, the second only person in rank to Lermontov.

"It's dangerous here, aren't you going to evacuate?"

Qiao Du asked curiously, he had taken a look around the town before, and he didn't find any [Hell Gate] or monsters.

"Evacuate? No, we're going to fight here. ”

Lermontov smiled.

"You may not know very well, but right now, our country is being ravaged by a horde of monsters that are attacking our towns, harming our people, encroaching on our land, and at one point on the verge of destroying our capital, and now the horn of the counterattack has been sounded, and we are going to wipe out those monsters here."

"See these buildings, we're going to attract monsters to this town and let them fall into the abyss, that's something we can only do, and that's what we have to do."

"So, you can't stay here, and tomorrow morning, leave with our young communications corps."

The company commander pointed to a corner, but Qiao Du didn't see the so-called communication soldier, there was only a wall of indifference.

"Oh, I almost forgot, he's not here."

Lermontov pressed his head.

"He's the youngest man in our company, he's only fourteen years old, and to be honest, he can't even hold a gun, only his horseback riding skills are quite good, and at the moment, he can only let him communicate."

"Oh!"

Qiao Du answered.

He had a hunch that these soldiers might have premonited their end, which is why they said so much to a stranger like Qiao Du tonight.

The dusk was unchanging, like frozen time.

At this time, from among the resting soldiers, a light ballad came.

"Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, and the river is floating with a soft light veil, Katyusha stands on the handsome bank, singing like a bright spring light"

A young man was singing, his voice much softer than it looked, and it felt like it was in the concert hall, not on the battlefield.

He sang and sang, and the soldiers around him also began to sing, some people were incomplete, some people were trying to keep up with the tune, Qiao Du had heard before, no matter what kind of song it was, once the chorus began, he couldn't hear the original tune, but now, Qiao Du could indeed hear a trace of sadness and reluctance.

"The girl is singing a beautiful song, she is singing the eagle of the steppe; She's singing about her beloved, and she's hiding her lover's letters."

In the midst of this song, Bai Lian slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, it seemed that no matter whether time would change or not, she would reset according to her biological clock.

Qiao Du looked at the dim sky, and he had some vague guesses.

Obviously, these soldiers are not ordinary people, in this Chernobyl region, there is no possibility of such an army of this size, and what they do is completely different from the strategy of Lubyanka entertainment that Qiao Du knows, and even the flags and symbols on their military uniforms are different from what Qiao Du has seen.

If we consider the time and space of the Chernobyl zone, where even the depth of pollution is distorted, then the answer is clear.

"Company commander, I have something to say to you."

Throwing Bai Lian into a corner, he covered her with a tattered blanket on her stomach to prevent her from catching a cold, and then said to Lermontov.

"What's the matter?"

Lermontov looked at the young man.

"Actually, we come from the future."

Qiao Du said seriously.
