The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Night on Lake 5, Lake Santa Margarita

“Phew, there's no way. I can't cross.”

Jeffrey sighs deeply. I couldn't say "thumbs up." All the executives in the Humvee agree. Winter caught their attention and took another look at the map slowly. It was looking upstream at the Burrito River.

The river originated in the High Mountain to the south. Water from the north shore of the mountain flows into the lower shores west of Lake Santa Margarita. Assuming that all the dry waterways had survived, it was very unlikely to find a point where the vehicle could be diverted upstream.

Winter has decided.

“I'll leave the car. ”

At first, no one understood the words of the boy officer. You mean there's a way to give up the car?

Winter offered them a one-liner. It meant throwing a roped grapling hook, fixing it, and hanging over it. Jeffrey's face collapses into a mess, anticipating a shutdown. Sergeant Liverman had a long career and was a little confused.

“I should have brought my launcher. I should have expected this, but I had no idea. ”

The basic principles of hook launchers operated by the U.S. military were like air guns. Compressing air with a compressor, then putting a hook in it and blowing it away. It was not a common piece of equipment. It was a useless item.

There were other grenade hooks that were jammed into the rifle gun. But it was too small for anyone to hang on to. It wasn't even there.

Winter said.

“You have a hook, right? You throw it yourself. Hurry up.I don't think I'll be able to make it any later. ”

The river was rising at a time. When the surrounding area is completely submerged, it will be late. Jeffrey replied:

“It's so windy, I don't know if it'll work. Let's gather the confident ones. ”

Luckily, there were enough hooks. You tie the rope to your hook, but the soldiers don't hate what they've done. Corporal Elliot mutters.

“No, I tried training, but I never thought I'd use this in real life.... ”

Sergeant Livermann snapped.

“There's a reason for all this training, man. ”

“Who said what? It's just that there's so much going on in life, you want to. No one in the whole army would have done this before. ”

I chose a narrow path, but the distance I had to throw was close to 40 meters. Moreover, you should try it in a rainy, windy environment. It was also difficult for winter to be calibrated for throwing.

At first, the soldiers acted like cowboys at the western theater. It is to swipe and throw. The grappling hooks, which were swarming with rough air currents, splash down in the middle of the river. As failures pile up, the misshapen soldiers start throwing closer and closer to the manuals. He added inertia by helping and threw himself together as he placed the rotating rope.

Cheolpu Duk.

The end was so dull. With every throw, the fallen soldiers turn to dust. Soldiers, whose turn hasn't come yet, giggle and scoff. However, they soon became the same. Soldiers who were in a mess cheered for each other.

“Cheer up, Engineer! This is your area of expertise! ”

“Shut up!"

An energetic engineer throws his hook at the wind and falls. Hold your head up in that position and watch the hook. The grappling hook flew away drawing a parabola, but missed the target tree for a long time. The engineer crashes his head on the ground.

Winter didn't spare me. A commander is not a place to take down a fortune teller. How about a little dirt? I wash it all away in the rain anyway. However, the soil grains entering my clothes were a bit unpleasant.

As time went by, a suppressed cheer erupted as winter decided to waste experience points and invest in the Throw. Finally, a hook was caught by an oak neck across the river. Successful Soldiers like it with their fists clenched. The soldiers around him pound his shoulder and armor.

Winter summons the troops together.

“Get the vehicles up there. It looks about 40 meters above the river. Even if that were to flood, you wouldn't be worried about losing your vehicle. There are trees around, so it's easy to disguise. The crew of the streetcar stays there and guard the vehicle. It's a long range, so it might be a good idea to get some firepower support. I'm on my way. Check and report how far east you can see. ”

A short time later, the chariot yard reported that it was capable of firing 1.3 kilometers in person. The point across the river is one kilometer. Sergeant Liverman was satisfied.

“Across the river, there is a walking distance of about 5 kilometers…… 20% of the route comes within the range of the tram. Even if things don't work out and we get chased by things that die, we'll be somewhat relieved. ”

Geoffrey asks for his opinion in winter.

“Lt. Wouldn't it be all right if we crossed solo? It's 10 kilometers round trip, so I'm going to be in and out of the water in about three or four hours. ”

A lone soldier was carrying only basic weapons and ammunition, without a backpack. Winter could not agree with him.

“I don't know that. We're so unlucky, if the dam bursts on the way, we'll have to wait for it to flood and evacuate to the high ground. I don't think we should be alone, given the possibility of prolonged isolation. We need at least three days' worth of food, fuel, sleeping bags, extra ammo. ”

“Huh? Three days? Is that really necessary? We'll have enough to drown in this area for one day anyway. ”

“You never know. Tell them to pack nine packs of Battle Ration on their own. It's best to focus on a menu that weighs as little as possible. ”

Combat rations weren't all the same weight. There is more than 200 grams difference depending on the menu. Nine packs is close to two kilograms, if nothing else. If you take it to a light menu, it means you can eat three more meals of the same weight.

If the contents were FSRs, I might add more. It was not there now.

Sergeant Liverman shakes his head with a sleepy face.

“I appreciate your discretion, but you don't have to worry about that. because our children are not only weak enough to spread by a kilogram or two. It's a short way to go. It's a matter of volume. I'm going to have to remove something else from the armory. ”

Soldiers are on the move. I needed some time to repack the captain. Winter itself made a captain. Like the sergeant said, the weight became worrisome.

So I'm ready. Now I had to decide who would cross first. The soldiers stare uneasyly at the roaring rope. It was not an ideal condition like a training ground. It is also a little unsettling if the hook is securely secured. Once a few people pull together, they don't pull out. But I was not relieved. Someone has to go over to the solo captain, fix the rope, and then I'll be relieved.

At this point, the winter comes as if it were natural, and the other soldiers stop it.

“Even though a soloist is a virtue of an officer, one lieutenant is too much. We'd rather send our platoon commander. I usually have a lot of stolen salary, so I have to do this. ”

“Hey, why are you picking on me? ”

Private Guillermi says Jeffrey is a stickler. It was a light joke.

I hesitated for a moment, but winter did not concede for the first time. It is better to minimize the risk. Do we need to waste Grade 14 Movements?

The boy rises to the ropes as a lone captain. I tied a thin strap around my waist in case anything went wrong. It was a lifeline for the soldiers to pull when they fell into the water.

Now bend your right foot and attach it to the rope, letting your left leg hang loose for balance. He pulls the rope back and forth. It was a light running speed.

In a matter of seconds, the winter that crosses the river descends on the tree, retrieving the hook wedged between the branches. The soldiers on the other side loosen the rope. It was to make it easier to tie again. Winter jumps down the branch. Tie the rope around the base of the azure tree twice, a few times. The same thing happened across the street.

Next, the soldiers hung the captain's backpack on a rope. The lifeline tied to your waist has now been changed to pull your backpack.

There were several dangerous moments while the soldiers crossed, but fortunately, no accidents occurred.

Winter checked the clock at the time the Doha was completed.

It's 8: 51 p.m. We should be able to get back here before midnight.

The way to go was a gentle ascent from the beginning. The width is so small that it's hard to get through a chariot. There was also a name for this road with gold everywhere. Las Pilitas. With many Latino immigrants, it was often difficult to think of the United States simply by name or street name.

‘There's a neighborhood that doesn't speak English at all. ’

I was planning to follow this strange name of road up the Upstream when the Salinas River appeared. because the dam was the source of the river.

The ascent continued for nearly a kilometer. When I walk, I feel hot all over my body, despite the cold weather. That's what marches are for. Moreover, the Winter Captain was heavier than the other soldiers. I believed in correction and shoved more ammunition and food in it.

The wet inside of the boots was also a bad condition for the march.

Winter was personally satisfied. It was good to be physically difficult. Pain was a reality. So I set the sensory synchronization rate for pain intentionally high.

After the ascent, down the hill, I encountered the Salinas River around the time I felt a tingling sensation in the soles of my feet. Turn south on the march.

I wonder how long he walked along the rough river.

Winter cried out.

“Get down!”

Most of the soldiers reacted almost reflexively.

Not part of it.

Ta-da! Ta-da!

There is a sharp gunshot between the deaf sounds of water. Two slow soldiers were shot. It was a clear shot, and an intended ambush. The number was two. Winter was a bit bewildered. The attack on the mutants was unexpected, although we were prepared for it.

“Two o'clock, 50 miles! Overwhelming Fire!”

Winter called out in a loud voice. Still, it was safer on the ground than on the radio.

Setting your course, the soldiers immediately strike back. The enemy hides in a forest by the river. That was a lot of cover. Winter did not expect the soldiers to hit the target, but wanted to keep the enemy from escaping easily.

What are you? In this round of the world, there won't be any anti-government armed groups here. Mexicans crossing the border? ’

Jeffrey summoned a medic as he pondered the identity of the enemy and how to respond.

“Doc! Doc! Check casualty status! ”

Then one of the men shot rolls to his side, grunting.

“Ugh, I'm fine! Greg, look at him! ”

He was shot twice, but he was fine. Thanks to the vest, the medic jumps to the other side.

Another, the wounded soldier was unlucky. You cry painfully. You look like you've got a puncture wound in your thigh. The medic pulls the tourniquet out of the first aid kit and quickly loops it over the penetrating wound. A tool that wraps around the handle like a bandage and tightens it to reduce bleeding.

“LAW!”

“Wait a minute! Cease fire! Cease fire! ”

Winter quickly stopped Jeffrey's furious ordering of rocket shooting.

“Why?! What's wrong with you? ”

He's not doing too well either. It was like old times, but it was a mess when I fixed it with a shark.

“Don't you think something's wrong? ”

“What?! ”

Even in ambush, only two men make the first move. We don't know why we attacked. But if they were both, the attack was the worst option. You'd better run.

It is also difficult to see that there are additional armed personnel. There's been no new attacks in the other direction.

Instead of explaining this, Winter stood up slowly, keeping its aim.

# I'd like to show my readers that graffiti hook throwing video, but I can't use html with my artwork settings. Yeah, well, not publicly, anyway.

We'll add the address to your settings, so watch us copy and paste it however you like. It's short, and it's going to be kind of funny.

# Q&A

Q. muze2000: Looking good ^ ^ @ But are you sleeping well? I mean, the thing about writing in the morning is that it's all night.

A. Yes, I stayed up all night. Why does it keep happening?

I think it will be resolved only 3 times a week, but I need to review it positively.:)

Q. Stonequille: I want to know if you've cleared the @ World Tube games over there. Have you cleared that game in winter? I don't think the galleries want to be cleared either, so there's no such thing as game clearing, and it's so hard that no one wakes up?

A. Triplon: Stoneblanket//You've already explained. If Operation AI determines that humanity's survival is no longer a threat between worlds, then it is game over.

Q. Thanks again for writing today! I can't believe how good M 'al tasted. I've been eating so bad.. Oh, that's American food. I'm even hungrier when I hear a tasty explanation. ㅇ To understand what winter used to eat, I understand the nutritional value of a roach on a Chinese train.

A. Reader's imagination is often better than writer's writing. I want to leave that part to the imagination. Haha.

Q. Master Column: @ just ate military combat food. Ha...... It was a painful time for a foodie.

A. The author is the owner of a backward, mediocre taste that even old combat food is decent to eat. It's type 1 combat food before type 2, with flat, greasy rice in the green square.

Well, it's probably not the same as it was in the military. I thought it was delicious.

Q. Dornishman: Consider the intensity or readability of your work, so please hug the writer and think a lot about the Gallery or Winter stories. (That's my pleasure! As much as I'm concerned, I believe it's Nionda.) The TOM ruling seems to be affecting zombies as well. Elsewhere evolution can be anything from stats to special abilities. Are their AIs running crazy because winter's TOM is so high? Much of the gallery is still in its early days - guaaaaah!

A. The viewer wonders if it's the world view I know. After the end of winter, it's much different in qualities than after the end of the world.

Q. Glorious Spear: I can see my friend @ Engineering crying. I heard you only have to build three legs this month with the fireworks...

A. Be thankful to everyone who carries out their defense duties. Please take good care of your friend.

Q. DuskTaker: How many types of post-insurance games are there when I'm curious about @? Like puzzle games, or racing games, or strategy games? In the novel description, I was curious because they're all zombie games.

A. Of course there are many things. You'll know it when you read the mission.

Q. Lucid Lim: @ Writer... Buy!!! Die!!!

A. death! Take a break before Guarosa! Summer vacation! Why, the desire of distorted writers!

Q. Are the rangers in @ Santa Maria withdrawn? Are you here to Fort Robert?

A. Scouting the Contaminated Zone is a mission, so Santa Maria is not a fixed camp. Not in Port Roberts.

Q. Old Raccoon: I'm leaving 700 minerals to build a command center for @ sea processing

A. Thank you for the minerals. Then why did you put Command Center...

Q. I want to see @ Matzming

A. Some people hate it every time you chat, so I'll use it as much as I need, but it won't increase my weight.
