Extra IF: Lapland's victory...? (Part 1)

"If you don't cheer up, you'll be in jail, Koshe."

In a dilapidated house, Koshei was grabbed by the arms by Laplander and pressed down on the bed.

His eyes were dull and tired as he looked at the ceiling, while Lappland sat on him with a slightly playful smile.

"You won't resist? If you go in, you'll get oripathy."

But no matter how Lapland teased and threatened him, Koshe was like a walking corpse, allowing her to do whatever she wanted.

"..."

Suddenly, Koshei's cracked lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Lapland leaned down curiously and put her ear close to his mouth to listen to his voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Anjie..."

"..." Lappland's smile froze a little, but she didn't seem to care. She just asked jokingly, "Hey~ How important is that guy in your heart that he made you become like this."

Koshe ignored her. He tilted his head and looked towards the door of the house, still with no expression on his face.

"Don't worry, those things won't come in for the time being." Lappland thought he was worried about the things outside. Although she thought she was capable of handling it, she lowered her voice and comforted him, "I painted the outer wall with blood and hung the bodies outside. They won't be aware of our presence."

"...Angie...I could have saved her...if it weren't for me..."

For some reason, Lappland's face gradually darkened as he listened to Koshe's whispers.

"Koshei...you...don't joke with me! Do you know the consequences if you rushed out at that time? Why do you think I held you back? You thought--" Anger appeared on Lapland's face. She raised one hand and wanted to slap Koshei in the face to wake him up, but she was stunned when she felt Koshei's body twitching slightly and his breath held from time to time. "Are you...crying?"

Koshe didn't answer, but his constant sobbing and increasingly uncontrollable crying made Lapland panic for a moment.

“Hey, don’t cry. You’re making it seem like I’m bullying you.” She looked at Koshei’s gradually losing control of his emotions and tears. She frantically tried to comfort him, but she couldn’t find the words to comfort him. In the end, she could only scratch her hair like crazy. “Ahhhh, I get it! Wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”

Lapland stepped off Koshei and hurried to the door, picking up a long knife that was placed beside the door.

Looking at the pistol hanging on the rack, Lappland hesitated for a moment, then she took the gun off and threw it at Koshe.

"Wait, just use your own gun to defend yourself. If I can't come back..." Lapland paused, then smiled mockingly, perhaps mocking his sudden worry, "No, just... wait here for me to come back."

Laplande left, and Koshe didn't know what she was going to do, nor did she want to know.

He slowly sat up from the bed, but did not wipe the tears from his face. He just held the pistol out of habit.

This is the fourteenth day after the "doomsday". He doesn't know how many people are still alive. During this period of time, he has not seen any other living people except Lappland.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Koshei ejected the bullets from his pistol one by one. He checked the number of bullets stiffly, counting them over and over again.

Finally, he absentmindedly picked out one of the bullets, put it in his pocket, and stuffed the remaining two bullets back.

Koshe was silent.

As for those monsters outside, those monsters called "Sea Heirs" by Rhodes Island, Koshe didn't know how they appeared and why they wanted to slaughter humans on land.

But it is obvious that the emergence of these sea creatures will undoubtedly bring about a devastating disaster.

In just the first few days, there were only a few people left that Koshe knew.

Loft, Joseph, Mrs. Helen, Iris.

Kal'tsit, Huang, Amiya, Outcast, ACE, Scout, Ludwig Mercenary Group, and Javi who were originally going to be assigned to Rhodes Island.

They are all dead.

Even Hong, Ω, and Destiny were buried in the sea tide. They used their lives to exchange for Koshe's chance to survive.

Looking at the gun in his hand, with dried blood on it, he realized that this was not the gun he originally owned. The gun given to him by old Mr. Bligh had long been lost in the siege of Haisi.

The one in my hand now belongs to Fred.

A few days ago, he noticed intermittent flashes of light in the government building at night, and he concluded that there must be survivors inside.

So, early the next morning, he smeared the already coagulated blood of the mutilated corpses all over his body, and walked towards the government building alone with a dagger.

He guessed correctly that there were indeed survivors in the government building. He pulled down the fire ladder on the outside, climbed up the building, pried open the door from the roof, and entered the building.

But when he saw the only remaining person, he couldn't utter a word.

It was Fred, holding Providence's body.

"We must leave here quickly, Fred. If we stay in one place for too long, those things will find us." Although Koshei felt sorry for him, he still tried to persuade Fred. "There are not many people left now. If we let go of our previous prejudices, maybe we can still have hope of living on."

"hope?"

Fred's voice was trembling and hoarse. He raised his head, allowing Koshe to see his face clearly.

It was an extremely haggard face, without even a glimmer of hope or desire to live in its eyes.

In his hand, he was holding a gun tightly, and before Koshei could react, he pressed it against his head.

"Wait--"

"boom!"

Finally, Koshe picked up Fred's gun. He checked Providence's death and found that it was not Hai Si's attack that killed him.

But it's the bullet fired from this gun.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, but soon, the gathering of those sea creatures interrupted his thoughts.

He quickly left the scene, went out from the entrance he came from, shuttled between the rooftops of buildings, and rushed towards the stronghold.

But it was this movement of moving between the buildings that reminded him of someone.

Thinking back then, they had once held each other's hands and floated in the air like they do now.

But now, he is the only one left.

Extra IF: Lapland's victory...? (Part 2)

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~hmm." Inside the house, Laplande was covered in dried, smelly blood. She used a spoon to scoop out a piece of meat from the can and put it to Koshe's mouth. "I remember you used to like eating this very much."

"..."

Koshe turned his head and avoided Lappland's feeding.

"Still no appetite?" Lapland took back her hand thoughtfully. Looking at Koshe who was so depressed, even she couldn't feel good. "This food was not easy to find..."

Listening to Lappland's somewhat complaining words, Koshe remained silent and said nothing.

"Well, if you don't want to eat, then I'll solve it myself, okay?"

Seeing that Koshe still had no reaction, Lappland decided to use this can to reward himself for snatching food from the sea herd.

"You... why?" After a long while, Koshei let out a hoarse voice, listening to the big and muscular Lappland and her gaze that had been looking at him, "Why did you save me, and why... did you treat me like this? Don't you... hate me?"

"Hmm? Do I hate you?" Koshei's sudden question stunned Lappland for a moment. She touched her chin with her hand, as if she was thinking, "Hmm...you may have made a mistake. I have never hated you, Koshei. I have always hated only your father and your family."

"But...I hate you."

Koshei spoke calmly, his eyes covered by shadows.

"Okay, okay, of course I know. Really, I haven't settled the score with you yet with this eye."

Lapland almost laughed. For some reason, Koshei in this state always gave her a different feeling.

He has no identity as a godfather and no responsibility to the people. He is just an ordinary person with normal emotions, love, hate and vengeance.

"I don't know when I can return to normal life..." Lapland held a spoon in his mouth and looked up at the ceiling with some melancholy. "Oh, what am I thinking? It has become like this. No matter how much I want to, I can't go back."

but……

Looking at Koshe, who said that he hated her but had a vague feeling that he couldn't leave her, Lapland felt secretly happy in his heart.

After all that had happened, there were times when the two of them could actually be in the same room together.

At least...she didn't hate the way the two of them were getting along now.

Suddenly, Koshe stood up, walked around Lappland, went to the bedside table, and searched for something in the cabinet.

"Are you looking for this?" Laplander waved a pack of cigarettes in front of Koshei's eyes. "I guessed you'd want to smoke, so I brought one back with me."

She threw the cigarette box to Koshei, who caught it steadily.

"Your reaction hasn't deteriorated," Lapland threw the can down, got off the bed, and handed him the lighter. "You should be more restrained. In this situation, cigarettes are much harder to find than food."

"Will the smell of smoke attract them?"

Koshe took a cigarette out of the box and put it in his lips. He held the lighter but was unable to light it.

"Don't worry, they probably won't." Laplander snatched the cigarette box and lighter from Koshe's hands, picked up a cigarette for himself, and lit it. "I've seen how they move these days. Smell doesn't attract them. What really drives them to chase humans is the breath of living people."

"So...it's breathing?"

Koshe moved slightly forward and Laplander lit his cigarette for him as well.

"Besides, their eyes are not just for show. Perhaps it's because those monsters appeared too suddenly that people didn't find a way to deal with them." Lapland took a light puff of cigarette to avoid choking. The mist rose and filled the air. "But now, as long as we can find a way to hide our living features and avoid their sight, we basically have a chance to survive."

"So... this is how you've been getting by all this time? Using corpses to build barriers and using blood to cover up the smell?"

"Well, if we want to survive, we have to do whatever it takes," Lappland shrugged and said helplessly, "Don't worry, before I ask for their 'help', I will pray for them first. This is what my godmother taught me."

"That's really..."

Koshe shook his head and smoked silently, as if trying to use nicotine to forget the troubles.

"Will you... go find her, Koshe?"

After a long time, Lappland suddenly asked.

Koshe paused, took a deep puff of his cigarette, raised his head and looked at Lapland.

Surprisingly, Lappland didn't seem to be asking questions just to amuse him or anger him, her expression was serious and she was really looking for an answer.

"...No, I don't know." Koshe flicked the ash off his cigarette, his eyes were melancholy, and he lowered his head to look at the ground. "She has become the past, and I don't want to care about the past... Maybe I want to answer like this, but..."

"But all this is too unbelievable, isn't it?"

Laplande said what he had not finished saying, and also brought up a question he had been thinking about.

Was the person he saw that day actually Anjie?

The figure floating above the group of sea creatures, following the steps of the sea creatures and moving towards a certain direction.

Koshe had wondered if this was his hallucination, just as he would occasionally have hallucinations of Destiny.

But Lapland shattered his thoughts.

Because even she had seen Anjie more than once, and even saw some other people that Koshe knew, mixed in with the Haisi group.

This was incredible, and they couldn't help but wonder if this was the method used by the sea creatures to lure out the surviving humans.

Approach them using the appearance of their closest people.

But until one day, when Koshe was standing on the roof and looking at the group of sea creatures below, he found that familiar figure, and similarly, that figure also looked up at him.

Although they only looked at each other for a few seconds, Koshe was knocked down by Lappland. Even though Lappland repeatedly reminded him that it was Haisi's plan, he was still struggling with himself.
