The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Night by the lake (3)

Soldiers headed for the Salinas Dam were estimated to have a total of 35 in winter and beyond. There are twenty-seven charlie platoons, one medic, three engineers, and four chariot soldiers. There were nine humvees and one chariot. More vehicles than acquisitions are the Fortress Command's consideration for winter. If we don't have enough troops, we need to be strong. The tram was the same context.

In the case of chariots, the winters were persistent, but they were close to coercion. The battlefield commander said:

“I want to minimize the chances of losing you. ”

In the boy's view, it was more of a need-based calculation than a personal favor. In this view of the world, there will be at least 100 million people who will be distraught if winter dies. Now it's rare for Americans to miss winter.

Winter sits at the helm of the lead humvee. It was for vigilance. The environment is too harsh to leave it to others. Recordable rainfall and fog drastically reduced the clock. It's hard to stare 100 meters from the naked eye. Winter, when the personalization skills were corrected by the combat senses and the survival senses, things were a little better.

The road to the south has often been cut off. Traces of the bombing turned into pools, and there were many places where the ground had retreated and collapsed. Depending on the location, there was a stream of dirt.

Winter, when she found the whitewater currents, raised her hand. A stop sign. The shooter of the subsequent vehicle carries the signal back. The formation stops in sequence. The gap was narrow, but I wasn't worried about it because I wasn't going that fast in the first place.

I came out one by one to the front of each vehicle. To protect wireless silence. Winter leaping sideways from the roof points to the white-flow.

“That looks a little dangerous, doesn't it? ”

The road collapsed about 20 meters, and the water runs through it. Several streams are merging. Due to the currents colliding with each other, the surface popped out unevenly. I can hear the sound of water flowing even though the ears are full of rain.

Blacksmith Jeffrey nods his head.

“Yeah. Deep isn't the problem, but I'm worried about getting swept away. ”

It wasn't as deep as Jeffrey said. If you look at the trees along the road that are still standing on the currents, you can estimate the depth. Approximately one meter. Each vehicle had a chimney snorkel, capable of crossing even if the water got to the roof. The chariot had no snorkel, but it was able to overcome it up to 1.2 meters without separate equipment.

But the currents are different. Winter approached and dipped his open hand. Millie is trying to assess power.

‘It's vague.’

Combining the weight of the flight attendant with the weight of equipment, ammunition and other loads, the Humvee weighs slightly less than three tons. I was more likely to be swept away by the current. You'd better put the tram ahead of you here. The American Armed Forces (M1A2) weigh over 60 tonnes. I would have held on to my weight.

Winter said.

“Why not put the trolley in front of you, connect each vehicle to a winch? ”

“That's what I was going to suggest. ”

Jeffrey giggles. He couldn't speak comfortably like before. Boy officers are superior now. However, compared to speaking formally, attitudes were not different from before. It was also good for winter. It's much better than some soldiers freezing like a general every time I see them.

When I came out to the front of the chariot with the turbine drive sound, I saw the chariot and thought of winter.

‘But it's worth bringing. ’

On the back of the streetcar was a hook made for this. The Humvee, too. Winter draws a long winch from the Humvee and walks behind the trolley. Let's go back up to the head office and wait a while. The signal that the tether to the last vehicle has been completed has returned through several people. Last winter signaled to the chariot yard. Let's go. I saw the tram yard say a few words to the tram extension.

The formation begins to move slowly. Given that there are 11 vehicles connected to each other, it is not possible for there to be a speed difference.

A heavy chariot entered the water at an angle. It was resisting against the diagonal rather than giving a side to the currents. Vehicles in winter are then acquired. A violent and dangerous vibration wrapped around the body. I feel like I'm being pushed sideways. It was evidence that he was pulling back and forth tightly.

The bubbles boil. Lots and lots of drops, leaping towards winter. A piece of dirt remains in the wiped area. But not for long. It was because of the heavy rainfall.

Can you see anything? ’

Winter made me curious about the driver's vision. Glancing down the turret, the cracked turbulence covers half of the car window. The soldier holding the wheel has no room for his butt to stick to the seat. He is half-awake and eager to look forward somehow. Winter ordered out loud.

“You don't have to look and drive! Just maintain course and speed! If it changes direction, I'll let you know! ”

“Oh, yes. I understand.”

Sitting down, the driver was constantly nervous. You may have been trained to cross the river in a car several times, but the practice was always different from the training.

But it was quick to cross. Subsequent vehicles also escape the turbulence. However, I was more and more anxious as I went to the rear. It was because I had little or no power to hold back. Halfway across, you're dead meat. Given this, the vehicles coming ashore continued to attract them.

Finally, the last of the vehicles climbs ashore. I did my best while winding up the winch, but I managed to get under it without a hitch. The gunmen of each vehicle cheered with a wave. The noise bothers me, but winter doesn't say much. The destination is still far away. Even if there are people chasing us with noise, all we can see are orbital markings.

Unplug and start running again. The mud is everywhere, but the speed is rarely slowed. It was the wisdom of the engineer. Before we set off, a engineer suggested it. Put some snow globes on the humvee. The name is a piece of equipment, but it'll be good to get through the muck. Winter embraced his opinion. The Humvees removed the wheels and placed the triangular Mattracks in place. With the area that touches the ground widened, the weight spread out, reducing the amount of work to be buried in the mud.

There were few encounters with mutants. I just ignored it and walked away.

‘The average speed would be about 20 kilometers per hour……. ’

Under the dusk of the sun, winter spread out the map without any light. It was the Lord Commander of Winter's role to catch the road as it bent. Investment in the Reading Method was inevitable. It was the same technique as the winter. It's definitely helpful, but I don't regret not being there.

‘Well, it's better than going the wrong way. ’

It was worth the waste because of the accumulated experience resources. It's hard to see features from far away, and since the roads have been bent so often, there's no more technology needed right now.

The car ranks soon entered the familiar roads. The path to the lumber mill in the Black Mountains. You see an abandoned village on the front. The town's name is Creston. It was a small residence, only three blocks across. Winter decided to break through. Follow-up vehicles seemed a little confused when I sent out a call. Of course he expected to bypass.

Still, the radio was quiet. The order to maintain radio silence was well observed.

Instead, the executive soldier in the Shuttle Seat asks.

“Are you sure you want to go through town? What if there's an ambush? ”

Winter was stuffy.

“There may be a variant, but it's not an ambush. How did you know we were coming? ”

Maybe a few of them will come out. Winter came to mind.

The humvees and chariots' driving noise are washed by the rain and buried in thunder. The clock was shrinking, and there were all kinds of variants. So it was as expected in winter. The first variant to find a row of vehicles was found here only after the leading vehicle entered the village. Opens your mouth as you protrude from the entrance of the town.

“Tsk!] ”

Crying to call for another variant, low and dull gunfire that must go on for a long run. Tanja breaks her teeth and goes in. The young officer's lead vehicle passed by before the roaring man collapsed.

“Speed it up. ”

I instructed the driver, and winter sent a call. The formation accelerates. Noise increases. The number of mutants protruding from all over town was meaningless. Winter kills a few and doesn't care about the rest. The shooters of the subsequent vehicles deal with the residue with their respective skills. It's not as neat as a boy. A few triplets, if not enough, was a speaker who emptied the magazine.

Several mutants chasing you through the night were swept away by shallow clouds. Even though the vehicle could be crushed by weight, the variants that did not have to be heavier than humans were under different circumstances. A few centimeters of water could kill a man. The mutants fall as if someone grabbed them by the ankle, then swoop down.

Hungry soldiers grin as they grab the boat.

A sudden night approaches from the entrance of the Black Mountains. An 8-kilometer hike through starless skies and blackness. Winter is the most intense part to think about.

California's 229, which runs through the mountains to the north and south, was a narrow strip. The car needed to be careful to pass through with a large humvee and a larger tram. It is a condition that you do not use the light immediately. Humvee drivers were completely dependent on the narrow view of the night vision. The trolley had basically infrared surveillance equipment attached to it, but it was also difficult to see it as better.

The environment itself was hostile, even if it never was. Black forest is fine to the left and right, but it's been a tension ever since the cliffs and slopes appeared to the left and right. Even the most relaxed winters are not safe, but the drivers will be terrified.

The dirt from the high ground prevents the road from being seen properly. The road was filled with dirt and no longer flat, and the original slope looked flat with water. I was more likely to get stuck in the wrong place by mistake.

So the speed was slower than walking. The speedometer needle does not cross two or three scales properly. It was like the driver stopped from time to time, measured where the road was, and went again. I had to be aware of the possibility of falling rocks.

Did you pick the wrong path? Winter, when I thought I couldn't, stopped the whole formation. You send a signal that no one needs to come out, come down from the turret, and tap the driver on the shoulder.

“I'll get you out of the car. Follow me.”

The driver was frightened when instructed in winter.

“Yes? It's too dangerous! Did you see any mutants back there? We can't find the body if we get swept up in here! You could be stepping in the wrong pool! ”

“Don't worry about it. I'll have a winch on my belt. Pull if you think it's dangerous. ”

Winches on Humvees weigh 6,000 pounds (2.7 tons). It was not a job to pull one winter. But the driver and another soldier still shook their heads.

“Dammit, what are you going to do about the fall? I'll work harder. Stay inside. ”

“Listen to him, Lieutenant. At this rate, the mission will not be completed. The dam won't collapse in an hour or two. No, I can't help it if it collapses. Comparing the collapse of the dam to the loss of the lieutenant, the loss behind it is much greater. ”

It's hard to convince. We have to save time. Winter shakes her head.

“This is the decision I made as a commander. I won't take any objections. ”

Orders are absolute. No more repulsions.

However, the executive soldier made a great face. It was entirely about the boy officer. Even though I felt good about it, winter got out of the car without saying anything next. Charr. Shallow currents crack into heels. Half the peach bone is submerged in the water. I felt a soft resistance being pulled to one side. It was not dangerous enough.

Winter pulls the winch. You pull it long enough to relax, and hang a hook at the end of the rope around your belt. Pow, pow. Pull tightly to ensure proper tightness. This action was not for Winter itself.

The Humvee's two soldiers continue to watch. I can't see my eyes because of the night vision, but it probably won't even blink once.

The boy waved his hand with a smile. The driver crashes his head on the steering wheel, and instead of winter, the soldier sits at the head and gazes at the cloudy sky. My shoulders are sagging.

This was not just a reckless act. If we reach the realm of genius with a 10-grade sense of survival, we are less likely to die from accidental accidents in these places.

‘Still, it may not be zero. ’

We have to take some risks. This tension will be good for other audiences in the world. Winter starts to run slowly on the water.

# Q&A

Q. NeoGGM: @ firstnose. Happy birthday. No presents. I'm joking. I'll give you a sponsorship coupon. I thought I'd give it to the rice breaker, but I'm annoyed. (This comment contains a lot of typos.)

A. Rice Breakers...

Q. Yurung Tangerine: Wow, you have the same birthday as me... Amazing. Happy Birthday! Eat well and cheer up:) On your birthday you should also eat well. Personally, it's the day before Liberation Day, so I think it's a pretty good birthday. Holiday!!

A. I ended up ordering my own pizza. Vince used to love it because the pizza didn't squeeze, but it seems to be getting saltier... Why is the food outside getting saltier? It is said to be for selling a lot of drinks or liquor, but I think it's too much.

Q. Bonjour: Happy Birthday. Hundred thousand years ago, how you all live. Wouldn't it hurt if compassion lasted too long? Use it quickly and recharge with a new one. The red hat made the first sweet potato pizza. And then suddenly, out of the pizza hut, out of all the pizza makers. Food doesn't have a patent. Not the Red Hat... I don't think so.

A. There is no expiration date for the concentric mind. It's the same context where you can get the ancient compassion from a fairy tale book like Necronomicon. - I tried to get him to wear a red hat, but he had Vince do it while the old guard was on the porch... and he stepped on a mine.

Q. Happy Birthday, @! My family had forgotten my birthday, so only shelter computers ever celebrated mine. T-t-t-t

A. Apparently, my computer didn't celebrate the writer's birthday because it's 40,000 years old.

Q. 3ppoo: @ Vladimir... Putin!!

A. Vladimir doesn't just have Putin.:)

Q. Dohwahwan: Happy birthday to you @. There's a desire for paper books. A wish that no one but Joara would read the words!

A. Well, if you look at the Lite Nobel, for example, it's rare to have a double-stranded book. even though the original original 3,000 copies have been reduced to 1,500 copies. Times have changed. In fact, a full-time writer wouldn't have dreamed of it if it hadn't. Haha.

Q. Chic: @ congratulations, I love you

A. I will try to write a novel that will be loved in the future. Best regards,

Q: I think it would be cool to hide a giant dragonfish from Dead Space 3 in the reservoir @.

A. That would be too surreal. Isn't that why bio-hazards are getting so boring?

Q. Zhang Xiang: @!! Happy Birthday, but how does Otterton celebrate his birthday? ^ ^

A. Read the winds and constellations you've accumulated.

Q. Master Column: Since it's been over 40,000 years, congratulations on 4 coupons. We'll add them whenever you're 10,000 years old.

A. No, why not 40,000? It should be enough to let the writer buy a Hanwoo gift set over 50,000 won, a oyster gift set, a cosmetic gift set, Korean hospitality and dishes.

So far, I'm kidding. Thank you. Readers are better than friends, I see.

Q. Bob has a toothbrush: @ Writer, I have a question about your gaming system. Once this is the main base. The npcs in the game answer in the form that the user wishes unconsciously...? Anyway, this was mentioned before. So imagine if we really, really, really prayed: 1. Let's say there is a Mr. A here who really feels like a real game and is very... immersed in the NPC that I met in the game as a pet. 2. A and his buddy NPC loved each other and made a promise of marriage. 3. Suddenly, "a's wife was kidnapped by a psychopath." 4. What psychopaths want is simply Mr. A's despair. There won't be any convictions for that person. 5. Eventually, "a" and "psychopath" face each other, and the psychopath puts "a" 's pet between them and tries to have a conversation to see "a" 's despair. Of course he's got a gun to his head. Eventually, the psychopath will get a little lucky and try to kill Mr. A's pet in the predetermined order. All I'm asking for is this moment! In a desperate situation like this, in a man's head, please save her life. So wouldn't this psychopath kill a woman regardless of the progress of the game? And happy birthday to you. Now, that's a strange question, but I do it at work doing the dishes, and all I can think about is this. It's a little long. Are we going up?

A. You're mistaken. It's not responding to unconscious expectations, it's reading unconscious predictions. I want them to behave like this, and I want them to act like this. ''s expectations are different.

Consider the difference between a conscious wish and an unconscious prediction. Unconscious acts are separate from conscious expectations. It's a reflex that you can't consciously control.

Here, the interference between the second and third modules makes the reaction more varied.

Q. RGZ95: @ is definitely a variant that watches and learns from survivors' behavior, and that can be... creepy.

A. I'm glad it's creepy. The writer is writing a scary novel.
