Bei Yuankong tried his best to keep his balance, but the occasional shaking caused bursts of sharp pain in his chest from time to time. The deafening sound of collapse was getting closer and closer. He took the time to turn his head to look behind him, and his heart was enveloped by a huge pressure.
When I looked up, I saw a vast expanse of white snow rushing towards me like a galaxy waterfall. It was getting closer and closer, and a few small snowballs had already hit my head.
Hurry up, hurry up!
Kitahara Sora stood up and ran again regardless of the danger. The pain caused by the intense exercise made it impossible for him to breathe. He probably broke another rib from the kick from Daha Taiyang just now.
The heart is filled with fear, a natural fear, like a pressure like a mountain pressing down on one's head, which makes it impossible for one to muster the desire to resist.
I can’t let myself be buried by the avalanche. If I get caught up, I’ll die. I can’t die here!
Beiyuan Kong let out a low roar and ran wildly at an angle of almost sixty or seventy degrees. His speed was getting faster and faster, his eyes were red, and his legs were lifted out of the snow layer that was above his knees. He burst out with the same abnormal speed as during the day, and his toes stepped lightly on the snow, disappearing like a dragonfly skimming the water.
He saw Zoe open the driver's door, and saw Bill helping Francis and the unconscious Hayato Hayama into the car. Makoto Ito and Tomoka Nakain got in the car. The car began to shake, and Miyamoto Rei stumbled and was pulled in by Bill.
Then, the snow covered his ankles, and Kitahara Sora, who lost his balance while running so fast, fell into the snow. The thick layer of snow that collapsed buried him, and his ears were filled with hazy sounds as if he was drowning.
"and many more……"
Bill stared blankly at the rushing snow and called out to Zoe to stop.
He stared at the snow layer rolling down the hillside on the left, and then the sliding snow fell to the ground, splashing countless snowflakes, which flooded the church and hit the fragile load-bearing columns. The rolling snow behind him was like a rushing flood, still rushing towards this side. The zombies in front continued to gather here.
Francis frantically pulled the trigger of the vehicle-mounted machine gun, cursing continuously.
Zoe anxiously asked why they stopped and when they would leave.
Bill was still in a daze, shouting "God" uncontrollably. Finally, he turned around and yelled to Zoe, "Drive!!! Now!"
Zoe stepped on the accelerator, and the moment the car started, the snow covered where everyone was originally. Half a second later, the armored vehicle broke through the thick snow layer and rushed out, and the transmission tracks crushed the groups of zombies towards the highway.
Kitahara Sora was lying in the carriage, his mouth and nose covered with ice and snow, and he kept coughing up bloody ice chips from his mouth.
After Bill gently helped him up, Kitahara Sora looked around at everyone.
His eyes gradually turned cold, and Bill could even feel that he had murderous intentions towards everyone present, which made even this veteran who had experienced many battles in the battlefield feel a chill down his spine.
Fortunately, he fell into a coma immediately after he said that, and Bill couldn't judge how dangerous Kitahara Sora was in that mood.
He said, "Where's Yukinoshita?!"
Chapter 42 Born as a Human
Grizzlies.
The periphery of the military base has been surrounded by a huge 30-meter-high concrete wall. This towering wall was newly built. China is not the only country that enjoys the title of infrastructure maniac. Facts have proved that other countries are just not serious about it. They were forced to build this wall with a diameter of two kilometers and a thickness of half a meter in less than a month.
Only after experiencing the pain and facing the fear of death will people stop complaining, stop shouting slogans of paid vacations and human rights and freedom, and start to work desperately to improve the defenses. Now they only want to have a full meal and hope not to be driven out, that's all.
The country is on the verge of collapse, and each state is struggling to survive on its own. Human beings have temporarily lost the conditions for creation and are just living off their past capital endlessly. Moreover, there is no habit of saving in the Western optimistic values. Just like in peacetime, most of their people do not have a penny in the bank, and even a whole family lives on credit cards for their entire lives.
The military is the same, but they will have stockpiles of supplies, but they are stockpiling large quantities of weapons. They are always preparing for war, and the imaginary enemies in their minds have always been their competitors. They have never thought that one day humans will become their enemies.
People living in the western part of the earth never think about these things, because their development history is a history of plunder. There is no need to think about these things. If they don’t have it, we will just rob and oppress.
At this time, the military base no longer looked like a base. The whole thing looked like a huge shelter, filled with a large number of refugees and homeless poor people. It was crowded, messy and smelly... but safe.
People were freezing to death every day, and fights broke out from time to time. Hungry people fought for a small piece of bread. The losers had their heads smashed by stones, and the winners wolfed down the bread and were hit in the head by the soldiers on duty before they choked to death.
This was originally the base of the 13th Army of the United States Army in this world, located in the territory of Grizzly City, only three kilometers away from the city. At first, the base maintained good order, but as more and more people were taken in, the situation in the base became increasingly difficult to control. Finally, the supreme commander of the army, Lieutenant General Bruce Archer, had no choice but to order the refusal to continue taking in refugees and began to manage them with iron-blooded means.
It is very ironic that civilization began to regress in a small military base and gradually evolved into feudal ideas. A temporary storage area of thousands of square meters was built with plastic boards, but these simple rooms were for people with working ability. The soldiers still lived in their dormitory buildings, while ordinary people could only squeeze into the densely packed disaster relief tents.
Old Bill used a bucket of instant noodles and a piece of chocolate to open the gate of the base, and then used a pack of cigarettes to exchange for five rooms for everyone. Of course, all weapons and ammunition were confiscated. There were still a lot of vacant cubicles they built, but they would rather let five or six people squeeze into one tent than fill up the cubicles. This was also their traditional skill.
With the reminder in the brain that the side quest was completed, everyone settled down. However, the "Lord" played a little joke on everyone. The core rewards would not be issued until the main quest was completed. This almost made the already injured Ito Makoto collapse.
The next night, Kitahara Sora woke up. As soon as they arrived at the monastery, Kitahara Sora returned the bulletproof vest to Yukinoshita Yukino, so it was a miracle that he was able to survive after being buried in the snow and mud. What's more, during the rolling process, a hard branch as thick as a little finger pierced his chest, and ice and snow poured into his chest cavity.
While his lungs were torn, he also had serious internal injuries. However, when Kitahara Sora woke up in the middle of the night, he refused to let Bill contact a doctor because he felt that his wounds were healing slowly. If this situation was discovered by the military doctor at the base, it would be a big problem.
But after just one day, Kitahara Sora's chest wound began to scab over, which might be the result of the transformation of the flesh. As for Hayato Hayama, his broken arm was disinfected and bandaged. The doctor did not care too much about a civilian or an Asian man, and just left after confirming that he was not infected.
It was still night, and the bright moon was still hanging high in the sky. Bei Yuankong, sitting at the head of the bed, was quietly gazing at the towering concrete wall in the distance.
It feels very weird, just like an anime about giants that I watched in my previous life. This wall is very similar to the wall in that movie, giving people a sense of being restrained in a cage.
In fact, Kitahara Sora tried to return today, after all, Yukinoshita was still in the church and her life or death was uncertain. However, Bill forced him back with a gun pointed at his head. Looking at the old man's ferocious face, his eyes revealed great concern, so Kitahara Sora had to agree to rest for another day.
The military redistributed weapons to them because every healthy person living here had to work, and the most arduous task was to go out of the city to cut wood, or to search for usable supplies and food in urban areas where there were a large number of zombies.
However, I still couldn't let her go. How about sneaking out in the middle of the night? That was when the guards were the most lax. Since I still had a gun in my possession, I could sneak out in the middle of the night!
I hope nothing happens to you, it’s better that nothing happens to you... While my thoughts were racing, the door opened. I turned around and saw the haggard face of Hayato Hayama. Although he looked a little spirited, he seemed to have come out of the grief of losing Yumiko Miura.
"Kitahara-san, can I come in and sit down?"
"Didn't you come in already?"
Hayato Hayama walked forward, went to Kitahara Sora's side and sat on the edge of the bed with him, looking up at the bright moonlight in the sky in a daze. Kitahara Sora did not ask him what he wanted to say to him, and he did not speak again. The two of them just looked at the moon quietly.
The candlelight flickered gently, illuminating the small room. The shadows of the two people also swayed slightly. I can't remember when I lit the candles before coming here. I vaguely remember that I was very young at that time. The mottled memory is the waxy yellow color of old photos. My parents were still alive at that time. My only worry was that the rare card in Raccoon never came out. I lost a few marbles again today. The little bully can never beat the older twin brother next door.
But why is the turn so big?
I have imagined thousands of futures for myself, but I never thought that a tragedy would happen to me. This half of my life can be considered a legend. Maybe, just like I joked, some young man will really appear one day, point at my nose, and excitedly say the name of a TV series?
……
"The moonlight is beautiful."
Turning my head, I saw Hayato Hayama with a faint smile on his face. The moonlight illuminated his clear pupils. He looked extremely peaceful and calm. Yes, calm.
This word should not be used to describe a man, but Kitahara Sora could see that feeling. His smile at this moment was different from his usual gentle and humble one. It was very peaceful, very clean, and even made people feel a sense of tranquility in their hearts. This was his most genuine smile.
"You shouldn't have said that to me."
"But I seem to have lost the person to whom I can say this."
Bei Yuankong retracted his gaze and continued to admire the moon. After a moment, he said softly, "You never had it, so how can you lose it?"
Hayato Hayama looked at Kitahara Sora's profile and stared at him for five seconds before he raised the corner of his mouth. Then he laughed again, and laughed loudly, as if to vent his feelings. With tears in his eyes, he asked back, "Kitahara classmate actually knows what kind of person I am, right? You must know, even though we have only known each other for a few days, but I feel that you know."
"Yes, I know." Kitahara Sora did not shift his gaze to Hayato Hayama's face, still looking at the bright moon in the sky: "Hayama-san, you are a selfish hypocrite."
"hypocrite?"
Hayato Hayama was stunned. There is no such saying in Japan, but it describes him aptly. He is a hypocritical person, with a sunny appearance but a dark and mean look. Yes, he has always been like this, but from childhood to adulthood, including his parents, relatives, friends and elders, they don’t know, they don’t understand. Ever since he can remember, he has been like this.
"Kitahara-san, you know what? You're the second person who really sees through me."
"Is the first one Yukinoshita?"
Hayato Hayama was stunned again, but he smiled knowingly: "Kitahara-san really knows everything. Are you so close to Yukinoshita?"
"Yukinoshita didn't tell me what happened between you, but I can roughly guess it." Kitahara Sora shook his head and continued: "So, are you finally tired?"
Are you finally feeling tired?
Hayato Hayama was no longer surprised, tears were still streaming down his face, he felt very tired, but why did I feel so relieved after you asked me this? You seemed to know everything, you seemed to know it all.
So he nodded, his tone revealing a strong sense of fatigue: "Yeah, I feel so tired."
"I don't want to pretend anymore. I'm only 17 years old this year, but I feel like I'm already 37. I know a lot, but I also don't know a lot. I don't know what I need to do in this world, and I don't know what I can do, so I'm so tired."
Hayato Hayama touched his cheek, and the desire to talk in his heart was suddenly released. Perhaps after saying it out loud, people would understand what he didn't understand. The object was Kitahara Sora, and it felt pretty good.
"Want to talk?"
"May I?"
"I happen to have some time, maybe twenty minutes."
Hayato Hayama took a look at the layout of the room. Kitahara Sora had already stuffed his backpack with food and ammunition, and looked ready to go. However, he seemed to be waiting. There was no need to guess where he was going. After all, among the companions who had been eliminated in the team, there was one person he cared about the most.
Thinking of her beautiful face like snow, Hayato Hayama also showed an understanding smile: "...In fact, I have known her since I was very young. Her mother controls the real estate business in Chiba City. To her, my family is very ordinary. My mother is a doctor, and my father is a legal consultant for the Yukinoshita family's company. We were forced together at an elders' drinking party. In the words of parents, the circle of elders is also the circle of children. They hope that we can also have a good social circle. In fact, when we were still ignorant in childhood, they used us to plan for the future of the family."
"She's disgusted, isn't she?"
"Kitahara-san understands her very well." Hayato Hayama smiled and continued, "She really dislikes it. Just like she said at the time, this is just a fake social interaction required by our parents, and we have never even had any contact in private. Can you imagine that a primary school student can say such a thing? Yukinoshita-san did say that. I didn't understand it at the time, but Yukinoshita did, and her sister also understood it. By the way, her sister's name is..."
"Yukinoshita Haruno."
Beiyuan Kong lit a cigarette, and the smoke filled the air, adding a layer of hazy mystery to the originally beautiful moonlight: "So, your parents must have said something to you behind your back, or they must have some purpose, right?"
Hayato Hayama nodded. It was easy to talk to smart people because some things did not need to be explained deliberately.
"I am the hope and pride of our family, but my father is an ambitious man and my mother supports him very much, so when I was young, they just told me to get along well with the two sisters Yukinoshita. In order to become friends with them, my father even transferred me to her elementary school and entered her class as a transfer student, but..."
"But your parents' real purpose is to turn you into a childhood sweetheart of the two Yukinoshita sisters, and cultivate their feelings from an early age, because at that time, Mother Yuki had not yet chosen a qualified heir from the two sisters. If you play together from childhood to adulthood, you will definitely develop feelings for each other. If both sisters like you, then no matter which of them is chosen to become the heir of the Yukinoshita family, it will be you who makes the choice at that time. When you are of the right age, you can choose who to date at will, and then successfully marry into the Yukinoshita family. Then the Hayama family will also become a branch of the Yukinoshita family, and finally your family will slowly transform from a family to a clan. And Mrs. Yukinoshita is actually very clear about this matter. She does not oppose it but allows it to develop. This is the Japanese culture. It seems that big families like to adopt sons and recruit sons-in-law..."
"Kitahara-san, did Yukinoshita tell you this?"
"Given what you know about her, do you think she would tell me this?"
Hayato Hayama stared at Kitahara Sora blankly. He just gave a brief introduction and Kitahara Sora almost guessed the whole story. Is it so terrifying?
After taking a deep breath, Hayato Hayama shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Well, since Kitahara-san is so... awesome, I'll continue."
"I didn't understand what the two sisters Yukinoshita understood at the time, but as we got to know each other for a long time, they seemed to start to accept me. Yukinoshita started to try to treat me as a friend, and Sister Haruno treated me as a cute little brother. We started to play together, and then I started to... fall in love with Sister Haruno..."
Hayato Hayama was very frank. He really wanted to talk, and even when he told the deepest secrets in his heart, he felt very natural. Without the slightest hesitation, he began to quietly recount what had happened between them and his own past.
What happened next was almost slightly different from the plot. Yukinoshita Yukino saw that Hayama Hayato liked her sister, but she did not express any opinion, nor did she point it out or add fuel to the flames, because her relationship with Hayama Hayato was forced by her parents, and because it was forced, she resisted in her heart from the beginning.
The younger sister can see clearly, but the older sister doesn't know? But she only treats Hayato Hayama as a little brother, nothing more. In her eyes, her younger sister is the most important. But as a child, you always have to make your parents happy, right? So she just pretends to be stupid.
She is very good at maintaining her interpersonal relationships and doesn't want to disappoint her parents, so after receiving giri chocolate from her sister on Valentine's Day, she forced Yukinoshita Yukino to give one to Hayato Hayama, even though hers was made by Yukino herself and Hayato Hayama bought it wholesale from the store.
She knew that her sister was still in the psychological stage of forcing herself to try to be friends with Hayato Hayama, so it was impossible for her to take the initiative to send chocolates. But she couldn't let her parents think that her sister was ignorant and needed someone to remind her even on simple social issues, so she used her status as an older sister to coax, deceive, threaten and bribe her to force her to send Hayato Hayama, because her sister had a stubborn gene in her bones, and it was this rebellious character that eventually made her lose her qualification as an heir. She was too stubborn, and sometimes she was like a cow.
Then comes the key plot that everyone loves to see.
"Actually, Yukinoshita wasn't like this when she was little. Although she sometimes had a bad temper, she was cheerful most of the time and loved to laugh... Everything was going in a good direction until later..."
Hayato Hayama sighed, but his face was not filled with self-blame and regret. He looked calm and said softly: "Later, I messed up."
----------------------
(PS: The key plot of the love line will soon come, and the first volume is about to end. It seems that I used more than 200,000 words to conquer Yukinoshita. Ah, it’s so fast.)
Chapter 43 I'm Sorry
"From the time I was born until now, I have been living for others, for my parents, for my elders, for my friends... my entire half life has been fake..."
"I was born with my parents' hopes and grew up with the praise of my elders and relatives. When I was little, they praised me for my cute looks. When I grew up, they praised me for my excellent grades, my good manners and my calmness in dealing with things."
"The neighbor aunt always joked with me, 'Ah, little Hayato, you must be very popular with girls in school, right? Girls will be obsessed with you~' The vegetable seller would say to his son, 'Look at the kid from the Hayama family, he is good at all kinds of sports, excellent in studies, and girls always surround him. Look at yourself, what do you look like? Do you want to make our family extinct?' I grew up in this kind of flattery. I was shy at first, then got used to it, and finally accepted it calmly..."
“Actually, I’m scared.”
Hayato Hayama spoke softly to the moon. He took a puff of the cigarette he had asked Kitahara Sora for. He took a deep puff and the choking smoke accidentally entered his lungs, causing him to cough violently. Along with a little blood, he smiled awkwardly and continued, "That time, I screwed up."
"Since I was in the same class as Yukinoshita, our lack of interaction still attracted a lot of gossip. Kitahara-san, you should know that I'm not bad looking, and Yukinoshita was already very cute in elementary school, so bad rumors about us spread in the class."
"At that time, Yukinoshita and I were both very popular in the class, and she still had a lot of friends at that time, until they started spreading rumors that she and I were dating..."
Kitahara Sora listened quietly, feeling a little emotional in his heart. In Japan, girls can get married at the age of 16. With the extreme admiration for Western culture, children generally mature early. Even Chinese children begin to have a vague curiosity about the opposite sex in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school. So it is not surprising that elementary school students here would cause some trouble.
The original novel does not mention the plot here in detail, but the audience can still guess roughly how things will develop. Although Hayato Hayama and Yukinoshita Yukino have almost no communication in class, a classmate accidentally saw them playing together in a non-school place. Although Haruno was there at the time, this was definitely explosive news.
After the news spread, classmates were curious about their relationship. Since both of them were very outstanding, their friends didn't dare to ask them in person, so they started guessing. Later, rumors began to spread. Finally, a naughty kid even drew a couple umbrella on the blackboard and wrote their names on it.
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't care about these boring things, and took the initiative to find Hayato Hayama, hoping that he would not make unnecessary explanations. Rumors will be self-defeating with time, and no explanation is the best explanation. She even didn't care that her friends liked Hayato Hayama. If such a thing really happened, she naively believed that her friends would give their blessings, and if someone broke up with her because of such a thing, they would not be considered friends.
"She came to me at the time, hoping that I could ignore these things, but I..."
"But you screwed up because of your selfishness."
Beiyuan Kong interrupted him, his tone was still calm, neither sad nor happy, no comfort nor blame in his voice: "You ignored her request, you thought you were doing it for his own good, you began to take the initiative to explain, you began to clarify and speak for her publicly, but in the end, it became more and more serious, she seduced you, she confused you, she made your mind full of her, she was a bad girl, then the boys started to make trouble, the girls broke up with her, she began to be isolated, she began to be alone, she began to be bullied... She stopped laughing, she became sharp-tongued, and her personality slowly changed."
"Actually, all this isn't for her, Ye Shan-san. You've been doing this for yourself from beginning to end."
"Yes, at first I thought I was doing it for her good, but afterward I reflected on myself and realized I couldn't deceive myself. I was doing it for myself." Hayato Hayama stared blankly at the burning cigarette butt in his hand. The rising smoke was like his own life, ethereal, absurd, and ridiculous, visible but intangible.
"I am just deceiving myself. I am afraid. I am afraid that my classmates will no longer revolve around me. I am afraid that I will lose my position as the center of the class. I am afraid that they will leave me. I am afraid that girls will think that I am really dating Yukinoshita and distance themselves from me, even though I don't like them."
"So you chose to hurt Yukinoshita, letting her bear it all alone, ruining her social life, and even distorting her personality...Hayama-san, you exist in this world as a human being."
Kitahara Sora was still talking to the moon, without even looking at Hayama Hayato. In fact, he knew that he was a hypocrite, but also a pitiful man. The reason why he became so beautiful on the outside but rotten on the inside was simply because of his family education.
He is pitiful. He has been burdened with his father's ambitions since birth. He is like a tool in his father's hands, a prop that can help his family enter the upper class. He is a tool born with endless expectations. From birth, a heavy burden has been placed on his shoulders, so he began to be afraid after enjoying it.
"I was afraid that my neighbors would stop praising me, that other people's children would stop using me as a role model, that my father's disappointed look would appear in his eyes, and that my mother would secretly cry in her room, so I did this."
