Chapter 121 Dark Night (55, please subscribe!)
“The door is sealed.”
Kelisa once again confirmed that both doors of the stronghold were secure enough, and then stood up Sitting next to Bahram,
Since Ford died, he spoke less.
I don’t know if it’s because there are no more bickering people, or for some other reason.
Bahram was baking his compressed ration bars over the fire. They were now cold and hard, like pebbles on the ground, and impossible to eat without roasting them.
However, even with this kind of food, each of them only has 2 sticks.
After comforting himself, Bahram briefly counted the supplies.
Including what they had previously looted from the corpses, they currently have a total of 22 ration bars, 486 bullets, 8 almost full water bottles, a machine gun, 164 machine gun bullets, and a signal gun, three flares.
Regrettably, the equipment of the deceased was basically not recovered, including three smoke bombs that also fell on Ford, and they were probably searched.
These things can't be said to be much, but they are enough for six of them.
Bahram redistributed the bullets and food so that everyone can have a full meal tonight.
He even gave an extra ration stick to the two boys on the upper level of the hive to thank them for bringing the flare gun and the map.
The bonfire warmed the cold stronghold, but the boys around them did not speak much. There were only the sounds of chewing and difficult swallowing in the air, and occasionally the sound of drinking water could be heard.
This situation lasted for half an hour.
"Well..."
Bahram carefully took a sip of water, then tightened the kettle lid and put it next to him.
"Are you... okay?"
Hearing his words, the two boys sitting opposite him looked at each other, and then nodded.
“Not bad.”
"At least he's alive."
Bahram sighed softly, and his shoulders sank a little.
“You must be familiar with Ford.”
“That’s right, we are both from Siwa Hive. Their family has four children, and he is the youngest.”
One of the boys replied.
Bahram couldn't help but think of Ford again. He remembered the scene when the other man fell to the ground and slowly stopped breathing, and he also remembered how he watched Ford's body being shot through by bullets.
“I understand”
Bahram nodded.
“After the trial is over, we should all mourn for him.”
“I am from Soames Hive, from Salt Town.”
He took the initiative and said:
"My grandfather was once a member of the upper class of the hive city, but I grew up at the bottom of the hive city."
This is the time since he met Haoma. The second time he mentioned his origin and family.
"Me too, but I come from a different place than him. I'm from Iron Hook City."
Generally speaking, Hao Mo rarely takes the initiative to introduce himself, but Bahra There was something about Mu that made him want to open up his heart. This person gave him a strange sense of closeness.
"Iron Hook City, uh..."
Kelisa, who was eating rations on the side, was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head.
“You seem to know the place quite well?”
Bahram looked at this big man who could carry a heavy machine gun and run alone. If it hadn’t been for him just now, they might not have been able to bring that machine back. machine gun, so Bahram also gave him an extra ration.
"Well...that place is quite famous and pretty bad, probably."
Kaelisa's answer was vague, and her eyes were a little evasive.
Hao Mo didn’t know how to answer. The suffering life in the slums was indeed difficult to describe in words, so he pretended not to hear the other person’s words and lowered his head to arrange his bullet belt.
At this time, he noticed that his hands stained with other people's dried blood had become sticky.
Suddenly, a boy opposite said:
"It's pretty bad. I seem to have some impression that there were some anti-imperial dissidents who were causing trouble there a few years ago. I heard that they occupied An old arms factory, does this refer to it? ”
Hao Mo shook his head and said nothing, but painful memories flooded his head. His father was a law enforcement member of the Department of Law Enforcement at the time and died in combat.
When he was 6 years old, this incident was a turning point in Hao Mo's life and a dark moment that threw his family into poverty and despair.
But it was just the pain deep in his heart. He suppressed them and said briefly:
"It happened a few years ago, and finally all the bastards were caught."
>
"Good result."
Bahram, who didn't know the inside story, shook his head.
"That kind of bastard shouldn't be running around in Soames, but I have to admit that the days of peace are getting fewer and fewer. There are always troubles below the hive. Grandfather said that the upper levels are no better. I hope the star world The arrival of the knights can change everything."
"They won't stay here forever"
Robin said suddenly, and picked up the bonfire with a branch.
"Their journey is across the vastness of the stars, and this is just their temporary resting place. That's why I like this and want to become an Astartes. I've had enough of this boring little planet."
"Is that so?"
Bahram looked at this mysterious companion curiously. Robin's identity has always been a mystery, and he never mentioned it himself. Probably only the Astral Knights knew about him. Details.
"What about you? Why do you want to become an Astartes?"
He looked at the two opposite men again.
"Glory."
They answered in unison.
“A boring reason.”
Kelisa sneered.
"Ignorant little brats talk about glory and glory all day long. My purpose is very direct. I just want to become stronger. I have beaten enough of those weaklings. I want to beat some serious ones. ! I heard that the green ones next door are quite fierce.”
Only Haomo became unusually quiet. Bahram glanced at him, worried that he had said something wrong before.
But before he could speak, the other person stood up, blended into the shadows at the corner, leaned there, and closed his eyes.
The dinner ended like this, and everyone took the time to rest. They had all been running around and fighting all day, and their physical strength was already close to the limit.
But Bahram couldn't sleep. He was thinking about how the rest of the team could survive this cruel survival game and become the winner.
Looking at the current situation, this is almost a miracle.
"We beat away that bunch of rubbish."
In the jungle outside the stronghold, a pair of green bright spots emerged from the darkness, followed by a second pair, and a third pair...
It’s like a pack of wolves lurking in a dark forest
“If you kill one, the others will run away.”
“Yeah.”
Wearing camouflage uniforms, they almost blended into the night jungle, with only the occasional pair of light spots showing their presence.
The leader nodded, but kept staring at the stronghold high up.
"Dade, tell me, how many of them are left?"
"Well, judging from the corpses on the ground, there are probably about six."
" Do we have a chance to win it in one go?”
"It should be possible, but there will be casualties."
"Then I have an idea now."
In the darkness, Oscar let out a deep laugh and tightened the dye in his hand. Bloody walkie-talkie.
I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day! !
Lao Mo was a little miserable today, he made a poor save, and no longer had any illusions about the first order...
