Tomorrow's Ark, the journey of hardcore and ruthless people

The footsteps continued to approach, and Anna continued to move cautiously, preparing to leave here as soon as possible.But the more undesirable things happened, the easier it was for them to happen: a black shadow passed over her head and landed beside her.

Anna and her companions not far behind her watched this man in horror: he was wearing a black coat, revealing an off-white coat and trousers, as well as black short boots.Anna keenly noticed the strange mechanical structure attached to the opponent's calf, but her attention was immediately attracted by the thing in the opponent's hand——

A bayonet from an old Ursus army rifle so long it could almost double as a saber!

The golden eyes of the white-haired guy flashed a playful light, showing a sunny smile: "How are you!"

This guy might not be in a normal state of mind - that was Anna's first reaction.But after 10 minutes, she began to wonder if there was something wrong with her mental state. Otherwise, why would everyone bring this unknown, possibly dangerous guy to her hiding place?

The so-called "safe place" is not safe either.Their foothold is just the abandoned warehouse behind the teaching building, which can be regarded as a "safe house" that can barely guarantee that they will not freeze to death.Anna's friend Wika kept checking the footprints behind them and erased the footprints at any time to avoid being discovered by those who might follow them.

At critical moments, only friends are useful.

Anna's detective-loving mind was running fast, and she quickly came to a conclusion: this guy may be crazy, but he is by no means stupid.He effectively controlled the direction during the dialogue, and used everyone's fear of being discovered by any force to lure everyone to take him to a hidden place.

The problem is that everyone only knows one "hidden place", and this is where everyone lives...

Listening to what the students said, the white-haired man in black smiled and asked, "Outside, there is a militia regiment responsible for guarding this block. The biggest force in Peterheim Middle School is [-] noble students?"

"Well... there are groups of gangs everywhere in the school. The biggest is Natalia's aristocratic group," Anna replied casually, and added, "But in the current situation, they are neither possible nor willing Manage order. After all, it's a thankless job."

"So your place has become a gang-ridden slum?" The black coat looked at Anna and her companions with interest, "And you guys are huddling together to keep warm?"

"Otherwise?" Someone asked in displeasure, "If you have the ability, why don't you just go into the cafeteria and get rid of those high-quality garbage from No. [-] Middle School?"

"It depends on the situation, maybe I will do it." The black coat turned back and smiled, and then left the abandoned warehouse.

The fist landed hard on the opponent's face, making a pleasant sound.Of course, the student who was beaten by General Winter, and the unlucky guy who watched General Winter punch a child.They obviously don't like to "appreciate" this kind of scene.

"So strong, is this the power of General Winter?!"

"It's terrible! I thought it only takes a dozen people to..."

Sonia didn't hear the whispers behind them clearly, and these cowhide family who were still arrogant and domineering just now ran away from the corridor with their tails between their legs.Facing the backs of more than a dozen escapees, who had almost no opponents in Chernoborg students, Sonia, who was given the nickname "General Winter", spat hard and cursed Ursas, " SugarPlease", mocking loudly at their backs: "You group of soft-footed shrimps, you still want to bully people with such little skill? Go back and practice before you come back!"

To be honest, even though it was a curse word, Sonia liked it-it was cool to swear at the fleeing enemy.Having said that, why do these people especially like to make such things around themselves?Is it because most people in this area are scared away by me?

Then she turned around, reached out to the tearful little girl, and pulled her up: "How, are you okay?"

"Thank... thank you, General Winter..." The little girl who was pulled up wiped her tears and replied gratefully, "I...I'm fine... ..."

"Didn't I tell you to run?" Sonia asked her angrily.

"That, that... I want to thank you..." The girl mustered up her courage and bowed to Sonia, "Although you may not remember--my name is Valeria, My friends and I were saved by you!"

Not to mention that I didn't pay attention, it was only when Sonia noticed that there was a yellow bow on the girl's head.She has an impression, but she can't remember clearly. It's really shameful that she doesn't remember who her admirer is.

Although meeting such a little girl makes her feel bright, Sonia has always been used to showing others with a stern face.So she just cleared her throat, and replied casually: "It's nothing, I just don't like cowards who bully the weak because of the number of people. You should also have courage, if you look braver, they will also be scared by you Running."

Hearing what Sonia said, Valeria immediately burst into tears.She happily bowed to Sonia and expressed her gratitude excitedly: "Well, you are right, General Winter! I should also use my bravery to deal with difficulties...Thank you you!"

"Okay, you can go."

Seeing the little girl disappear in a flash, Sonia pushed open the door of the classroom where she lived, and when she was about to enter, she turned around again.

The black coat at the far end of the corridor spoke: "Your suggestion is not reliable. 'General Winter', this is not a good thing. You are very good at fighting in this school, so you will naturally feel that 'all enemies are paper tigers'. But most people If they can’t reach this level, it’s better to hide their way of survival, but you teach them to rush out and die.”

"It sounds like you must be good at playing." Sonia threw the brown coat she had just picked up back into the classroom where she lived. "What do you want to do?"

"Let's talk." The other party paced slowly, "Let's cooperate."

Sonia's voice became harsh: "Do you want to buy me with a little favor? I never give my life to the damn nobles, and consider others. Before I beat you, don't bother me. The hounds of the superior trash."

The other party's expression was very strange: "You think I'm... aristocrat? Why?"

There are many reasons, obviously a full look; a well-made black leather coat; and a very irrational reason: that unpleasant smile.

Finally, she reached the position where Sonia could rush up and smash his skull with one stride.There was a slightly helpless expression on the man's face at the moment: "You may not have heard clearly. Let me say it again, I am here to talk about cooperation. It is meaningless to stick to these. There are only two groups in this place, one..."

"One is you," Sonia took a step forward, her leather boots creaking on the ground, "the other is us—!"

The steel pipe hit the opponent's cheek.

......

The enemies are strong.Never seen such an enemy.

It would be a headache for anyone to get this news; but Sonia is different, she is a fan of fighting.For her, meeting someone who is good at fighting is not a bad thing, but it is an excellent opportunity to get rid of the current boring abuse.This is like a person walking alone in the wilderness. When he sees other travelers, he will run up excitedly and propose to accompany him.

No way, good opponents are hard to find.

Only 30 seconds later, the guy who didn't even take off the coat restricting his activities had already pressed Sonia against the wall.This guy grabbed Sonia's hands to death with one hand, and his knees also restrained her legs, forming a comprehensive suppression of General Dong.If this guy wanted to do something bad, Sonia had no other way to resist except biting her tongue and killing herself—so she became even angrier.

"Forget it, this way I can at least finish the conversation with you." Seeing Sonia struggling, the black coat frowned, "I don't want to fight, nor am I here to compete with you. In this school that has changed In a school that has become a prison, there are only divisions—prisoners and prison guards, and prisoners must learn to unite!"

"Other people are not welcome in my territory!" Sonia was still struggling like a fish out of water. "You can kill me, but don't let me be your thug! As long as you have money, you nobles can do whatever you want. There are so many slaves! Why are you looking for me?!"

The black coat sighed: "The air is trembling."

Sonia, who was desperately cocooning, stopped: "What?"

"It seems that the sky is burning." The black coat continued.

Sonia stared straight at the black coat: "...Yeah, a storm is coming."

A voice came from the end of the corridor again: "So you guys are connected—oh shit."

The two turned their heads together and saw Faust.

The young man's thin and delicate face was full of embarrassment.Faust was deeply troubled by the lack of movement from his old friend and comrade-in-arms as it approached the scheduled communication time.But he had even considered the possibility of Mephisto capsized in such a small gutter, but he never expected to find that the other lived in the corridor of the school with an unscrupulously girly and beautiful high school girl with red highlights. Literally ground stickers.

Faust was very, very shocked.Of course, his usually expressionless face will not show any expression other than "calm".He glanced at Mephistopheles, who was also shocked, and Sonia, who was obviously stiff, and finally decided to pretend that he hadn't seen anything.

"Okay," Faust waved, "I wish you all a good time."

Then he stepped back around the corner of the corridor.

There was another awkward silence.Then Sonia kicked Mephistopheles on the leg: "How long will you (Ursas swear) keep pressing! Are you addicted to pressing?!"

**

Three minutes later, Mephisto and Faust followed Sonia into the classroom.Sonia is still breathing in a "sizzling" breath: "What the hell is your coat made of, it's so hard?"

Mephisto took off the overcoat, revealing the light powered exoskeleton covered by the overcoat, the body armor and the short assault rifle.He hung the coat on the hook at the door of the classroom and turned around.Before he could speak, the poor wooden hook broke with a snap, and the coat hit the ground with a loud sound.

"Anti-fragmentation coat." Mephisto picked up the black leather coat, "high-performance composite material fabric, with lightweight high-performance alloy bullet-proof panels sewn inside. Plus standard protective gear, full-power rifle bullets and ordinary I can't do anything with shell fragments. It's just heavy."

"*Ursus swears*, you bastard. Well, please sit down. Conditions are tough, nothing to entertain comrades from the Northwest."

Sonia dragged two chairs, and the three of them sat down.

Mephisto asked, "How did you join the peripheral organization of the Youth League?"

"My father's co-worker died recently. I was too peripheral, so the only communication channel was cut off. Until yesterday, someone stuffed a note in my pocket." Sonia paused, "How much do you know about the situation?"

Faust replied: "Not much."

"Then what are you going to ask me to do?" Sonia looked at the 95GB short assault rifle hanging on Mephisto's body with a triangle gun belt.

Mephisto took off his full set of combat gear: "It depends on the situation, and you don't need to kill anyone now."

"Then what are you going to do?" Sonia said in a different way.

Faust replied: "First, assist the main force of our army to liberate Chernobog."

Mephisto put away the smile that seemed to be welded on his face: "Second, let as many people as possible survive."

Chapter 49 Two Blossoms

Mephisto tidied up the carrying belt he had fastened outside his shirt, put the four spare magazines of the pistol in the magazine pouch on the left hand side, stuffed the automatic pistol with the silencer into the holster on the right waist, Tuck a spare small pistol under his armpit, carry a tactical knife in his trouser pocket, and finally put on a white coat to cover his weapon from top to bottom.

He turned around and stared at Sonia who was quietly looking at the spare weapon in the luggage bag: "I have something to remind you."

Sonia coughed twice in embarrassment: "What?"

"You don't want all the students in Chernobog to know that 'General Winter blew himself up with a grenade' or 'General Winter didn't kill himself with a gun'?"

"Uh......"

Mephisto suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the rules are common to all Terra. Give yourself a code name."

"I'm not good at this... How about 'Winter'?"

"'General Winter', what kind of secret can your new code name keep..." Mephistopheles walked out muttering.

When Mephistopheles entered the teaching building, he took care of two people collecting protection fees.But when he came out the same way, four more students appeared here holding steel pipes and wearing the same winter school uniforms.They cornered a short girl, and Mephistopheles saw the bright yellow bow at first sight.

"No! Really, really not...I, I just accidentally...Please, just let me..."

"Boss, it's pointless to talk nonsense with her! The previous ones were all started by others, so I'll leave this one to develop—"

Mephisto tapped the wall with the steel pipe in boredom, and their conversation came to an abrupt end.The leading student shook his fur coat, looked at Mephisto, and then sneered: "Hi, Slim, what's the matter?"

Mephisto always felt that the overcoat looked familiar, as if he had seen it the first time he climbed over the wall and entered this school.This is not the top priority, he just replied with a smile: "I will issue a death penalty notice to you."

Before the words fell, a series of muffled and weak gunshots sounded.Mephisto pulled out his automatic pistol like a whirlwind, fired four consecutive shots in two seconds, and then shot another shot in the head of each of the four fallen gangsters, then closed the safety, and put the silent pistol back into his jacket .

Then he looked at Valeria.Looking at the timid look in the little girl's eyes, Mephistopheles shook his head: "You have been rescued twice."

"Well... thank you!" Valeria bowed sharply, and then replied immediately, "I will never forget you! Just having said that, it seems that you had a little dispute with General Winter before? Well, actually I think that General Winter is not a bad person, so, so..."

Mephisto smiled bitterly: "You are really a good boy... It's a pity that this place is not very friendly to you now. Don't worry, there is no conflict between us now. But you, don't listen to Sonia's nonsense, that guy Make it sound like you can fight just like her. Listen, before you become strong, you better learn to run fast and hide. You need to become strong first."

"Hmm! Don't worry, I will definitely become as strong as General Winter!" Valeria clenched her fists and replied solemnly.

"Okay, I'm asking you to do me a favor."

"Huh? An existence like you needs help from someone like me?"

"Not much work. First, protect yourself; second, come back to Rin at nine o'clock tonight...Sonia."

**

It's that abandoned warehouse again.Mephisto huddled in front of the door, and listened through the crack of the door:

"What is the origin of that lunatic in the black coat?"

"It's hard to say. It may have been brought in by the army to check the situation, or it may have been part of the integration movement..."

After hearing enough information, Mephisto retreated, walked in a big circle and walked to the warehouse door.The sentry student smiled awkwardly at him, then hurried in.Mephisto then pushed the door open, took the seized fur coat from his hand and hung it by the door, and laughed: "You guys are lucky, you got something good? By the way, Anna and Wika Where did you go?"

The few students who were munching red sausage looked at each other in blank dismay, and their expressions were particularly strange when they noticed the overcoat.A person suddenly stood up and replied to Mephisto with a smile: "Oh, Wika is looking for food, and Anna is going to discuss the ticket price with those people in the teaching building..."

Mephisto listened earnestly and smiled politely. The man finished talking about the situation hesitantly. After the silence fell, the atmosphere was a little awkward.After leaving Anna and Wika, they didn't even know how to talk to the mysterious figure in front of them.
