The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Night on Lake 7, Lake Santa Margarita

There was no reason to waste even three minutes. After gathering the executives, winter interrogates the old man. The more information I had about Captain Harris, the better. The size and condition of the troops, the details of the weapons, etc. Knowing what's going on and trying to talk, you might be able to avoid a battle.

Of course, the odds are low. But it was a boy's way of doing it.

The old man said in a way that he was not confident.

“I think... I think I have about sixty men." ”

“That's incorrect.”

“I'm sorry. I've been chased ever since that morning.... They fled into the mountains and into the forest, so they couldn't see how much they were chasing them. ”

“Then why did you estimate that number? ”

“There were about a hundred men following the original captain. And when the massacre happened, the soldiers who were trying to protect us remembered to be more than twenty. The fight itself was one-sided. It was only a matter of time. But there wouldn't have been any damage to the captain's side. ”

“Well…. ”

Winter has clouded the end of the words. Combat doesn't seem to add up or subtract that much. In group and group warfare, the difference in combat strength is the square of troop differences.

‘It was an accidental encounter, so there were many variables, but it's hard to be sure. We have to anticipate the worst, so the margins will be light. ’

There wasn't much the old man knew. He was an ordinary civilian. He wouldn't have had to judge the military's armed condition, nor would he have had the ability. I had to make a lot of analogies. But there was one piece of information that was useful. He has fought five battles to stop the pursuit. The truth is that it's embarrassing to call it combat. In a situation where we can't see each other very well, we shoot blindly.

The sheriff was quite brave. As winter has passed today, it is said that he and an elderly man, sometimes alone, stayed behind and led the chase in the wrong direction.

“It's time. Let's go inside.”

Winter knocked on his wristwatch and said, The troops moved through the next bush, not the road. I don't know where the enemy is. There could have been a simultaneous encounter with the U.S. military and a mutant group.

On the radio, there is still a lot of noise coming out of the voice of winter. Robbery is weak. Means it's a long way. However, Trickster was likely to intentionally lower the intensity of the interference.

Survivors hide in the Engineering Corps offices. It's so remote around here, you couldn't find anywhere else to avoid the rain.

‘The problem is that Captain Harris will find this place easily……. ’

It was best not to meet at all, but it became more difficult to anticipate. We may be able to deduce why US troops, including winter, would come to this location. There's nothing around here but dams.

The door is open. The sheriff's waiting inside. A face whose anxiety hasn't cleared up. But it's better than before. Ever since winter freed me from my restraints, I feel like I can trust a little. But winter was not careless. The other civilians don't know.

He freed the old man about 10 meters in front of him. I told him to go in first, and then Winter asked the soldiers to speak in a low voice.

“Watch out for civilians. There's a lot of mistrust about the soldiers.Maybe they're trying to steal weapons. ”

In a good way, it was weapons theft. It wasn't an attack, it was word screening, given the psychology of the soldiers.

“But you can't be too careful. I know Engan. Don't worry.”

Jeffrey answers.

Geoffrey and three others have taken the outer perimeter. One squad and the rest enter the office with winter. I see people trembling beyond the old man and the sheriff. I felt that the cold was bigger than fear. The sheriff felt awkward as well, but it was the best axis. I don't see any armed men. Looks like two rifles were all there was.

People were sharing their temperatures as a group. Even after the soldiers come, they won't be afraid. It must be that cold. Among them, only two poisonous people were separated. Manshak's woman and her husband. Medic moans.

“Oh, my God. A pregnant woman. How did you escape? ”

The sheriff answers.

“I have a horse. I tied it up a little bit further. ”

The medic looks at the woman and has a bad look on his face.

“Something... to burn... quickly! ”

There are traces of failure while attempting to start a fire. They must have collected the paper from the steel cabinet and rubbed it with a stick. Soldiers hurriedly smashed the furniture in the office. With a loud noise, Geoffrey, who was on the outer perimeter, looks inside for a few moments. I panic when I see a pregnant woman.

As commanders, winter had to put them on hold. There was no way to completely stop the light from leaking. Even if the fog is dark, it will be seen hundreds of meters away.

But I did not withhold. To the Medic looking for fire, take the matches out of his arms. A match from the Battle Ration (MRE). Made for easy combustion in humid environments.

Soldiers use military fuel like gravel as a flamethrower. The fire grew quickly. The room that was not colored brightens. But it's still not enough. For many to be warm, the fire had to be raised much bigger. A pile of firewood, like chairs and desks, piled up in a burning cabinet.

Winter looked around the office. There is nothing to hide the window. It was just that there were these Death Notes that were going to be used as fire thunderbolts. Winter instructed the soldiers.

“Wet the paper and stick it to the window. ”

If there were enough sheep, I would have covered it with several layers to block the light as much as possible, but there were not enough sheep. I left the windows facing north behind and focused on the other direction.

Winter asks the husband of a pregnant woman.

“Wife, when is your due date? ”

“My water has already burst. We don't know when the contractions will start. ”

My husband replied with this grip. It was a face that melted with all emotions. Medic washed with both hands. It seems difficult to handle this situation.

The atmosphere of the other survivors is overwhelming. It seemed that the couple were unwelcome. The sheriff and the old man are also looking at them with white eyes. Standing in the middle, I try to keep the couple from seeing me at all.

"Oh, shit."

I can easily imagine the flight they went through that day. Caring about pregnant women would have been uncomfortable. He thought it was a burden to others.

‘When life is heavy, people usually throw away their conscience. It's the heaviest. ’

Soldiers who understand the situation are overlooking the urgency. The voice of winter, torn into pieces, flowing from the radio, made them even more tested.

If you encounter an unauthorized U.S. military member of [job title] …… Meerkats, meerkats…… all responsibilities…… .will be……………… reserved……… for killing civilians……… meerkats, meerkats…….]

It was the same even if I changed the frequency. Captain Harris is unlikely to hear winter warnings. Winter recalled Ataskadero. First encounter with Trickster. The comms grumbled like this. Monster themes have good performance.

“Promise me.”

The words of a husband who hugged his wife. Watching winter with bloodshot eyes.

“Promise me you won't leave my wife. ”

It was a bad voice. My husband seemed to have a fever. My eyes are open when I look closely.

“Yes, I promise. But can you trust my word? ”

“You're a lieutenant. ”

The man pronounced a so-called "nomenclature." Come on, the lieutenant feature of winter was to help calm down after the collapse of Camp Obispo. For a man, winter was still the ‘so-called' hero of Santa Maria. If you look at the hierarchy, you can see they're called lieutenants.

Winter made a skillfully gentle smile.

“Thank you for your trust. ”

Fame was useful in this. You gaze at the young officer as if seduced by survivors.

The medic urges the soldiers to pick up their battle rations. They seemed to have only taken one meal a day for a few days, so it was difficult to feed them as they were. Heat the water with heat pack and dilute the main menu. Taste is not a consideration. Feeding the pregnant woman first, then the rest.

In the meantime, winter came out briefly. Geoffrey raises his hand toward him. He falls down in the rain. You unfolded the waterproof map. There are traces of tactical concern.

“What are you going to do now? ”

“We must complete the mission first. We're 500 meters away from the pump house. ”

“And then? I think it's best to evacuate as soon as possible. ”

“I'm pregnant, so I can't move. I heard your water broke already. I think we have to protect the baby. ”

“Oh, my lazy Lord. Why do you always have to do this? ”

Geoffrey hits his head on the ground and mutters a strange sound. If you keep this up, I'm going back to the flying spaghetti monster. It was a strange nonsense. It must have been a joke from the old days.

Jeffrey, who has hit his head a few times depressingly, says again.

“It's not good in many ways. Hostile intel is uncertain, a mutant group is approaching, and we have to defend ourselves without moving this way. ”

“Stop complaining. We have to divide our forces.”

“Y-you 're kidding, right? ”

“We have to do our duty, but we can't leave the civilians alone for a while, and we can't take all these people with us. Some people have mild hypothermia. 500 meters will never be short for them. It would be a harsh street that could lead to death and life. ”

“Does that mean we're going to split up our forces? ”

“You can ride a horse. We'll be back in a minute. ”

“How many people are on it? Do you have a guard on top of that? It's too dangerous, isn't it? The bastards may be coming down from above. ”

“I'm coming with you. ”

Jeffrey slams his head again.

“…… This is driving me crazy. ”

“We have to stop the firepower from spreading. Here's what I think. Captain Harris may have more men, but he's out of ammo. Gunfights in forests are a waste of ammunition, aren't they? ”

“That's what I thought when I heard the old man say that. I don't like anything else about the sheriff, but that was really good, wasn't it? I would have proposed if I was a little younger. I don't like association. ”

“Stop joking. I don't have time."

When winter is over, the young battalion commander gives a handsome look. The words of winter followed.

“If there's a war going on between you and me, lead them into consumption. It's not going to be easy to get to. There are disadvantages to our inactivity, but I think we can offset as much as we want because we're defensive. There's traps all around. ”

“I've already laid a few. Claymore and Roda. I didn't use a lot of them because they might be on the move, but they're defensive here. Then you don't have to save the rest. While you're at it, I'm going to give you just the right amount of explosives. We can't just walk right up to the relay and the detonator. The Forest is the Battlefield of the Occupiers, isn't it? ”

A handrail wire is a wire that pulls tightly on the primer of a mine or explosive. It is usually installed at ankle height. It was like an instant primer was provoked if you didn't want to touch it. The bombers are a little different. It was a strappy explosive.

Either way is a trap. Walking in the thick shade of trees, in the rain and in the dark, it would be very difficult to see the elaborate traps.

“By the way, ”

Jeffrey said.

“If that Captain really appears.... ”

Instead of speaking, the young lieutenant clammed his mouth.

“No, it's not. ”

This is a battle against an ally of the United States military. I will never be comfortable.

Long horses are rather poisonous. Winter knocked Jeffrey on the shoulder.

“On it, Deputy Commander. Good job."

“…… Yep. Go quickly.”

Since you can't use your radio carelessly, the soldier runs around and spreads the word. Even though it had already been exposed, there was no need to advertise this line.

Winter entered the office again. The sheriff was still eating. I thought he was strong, but he's stealing tears silently. How long has it been since I've had a hot meal? I didn't want to interrupt, but I can't delay the mission. Winter spoke.

“Sheriff, I'm sorry, but I need you to show me where the horses are. ”

“A horse? Why? ”

She's cautious first. Winter explained.

“Don't doubt it. I came here to stop the Salinas Dam from collapsing. But I can't leave you alone, so just me and the other one are rushing in. Please cooperate.”

“I didn't mean to doubt... Ah, I'm sorry. ”

Winter gives the soldier his gun back to her. I also gave him extra magazines.

“I'll believe you.”

The sheriff opened his eyes wide and lightly bowed to the young officer.

None of the three engineers knew how to ride a horse. Eventually, the winter sighed and held its own. The engineer who volunteered to go with me was curious.

“When did you learn to ride? ”

“Now.”

The soldier jokingly listened to the boy officer's answer. Winter looks down at the sheriff, looking north at the rider. She aims for darkness in the forest in a directional firing position.

“Go ahead, Sheriff. ”

“Kathleen Hayland. I'd like you to call me by my name. ”

The sheriff's answer. It was still a voice that was easy enough to recognize as a solid color, but the sharpness was reduced considerably compared to the first encounter. Winter nods.

“Okay, Kathleen. Go wait. I'll be right back. ”

Then you make a beep. A gentle manly beast responds softly.
