The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Sacramento (2)

The story ends in 10 minutes. After arriving at Regional Command soon anyway, the briefing will proceed.

The northern mission forces have entered another town west of Sacramento, Woodland City. There was still a war going on here, but the robbery was not great. Therefore, major roads across the city have already come under the control of the U.S. military.

The view of the old residence is reflected on the external observation screen viewed by winter. It is a residential city adjacent to the metropolitan area, and even has a downtown residential area. There are fortified houses and flying ancestors everywhere. The same way in Sacramento, a full-scale battlefield, has been reported to be steadily expanding the occupied area by securing a mid node.

If there's anything special, it's dirt in the city. It was a result of the harsh summer and dry sky. Occasionally, the breeze of sand ignites. As for the Ministry of Agriculture, I was worried about restoration costs, but I was happy for the Ministry of Defense.

Lieutenant Evans wants to see you.

“Sir, may I have a moment of air? ”

That's what winter told me.

“As long as the others are okay. ”

You don't have to be stuck in a car in a combat situation, but the hot air coming into the open hatch was a problem. However, the other chiefs nodded kindly.

“It doesn't matter. They'll be here soon anyway. ”

Lieutenant Xing's acceptance representing them was Lieutenant Evans' salvation.

There were many top hatches in the commander's armored car. Two in the back, one in the central tower, one in the driver's seat. I opened the hatch and sat on a hot glove board during the winter.

Heat is not so painful. It was thanks to the constant strengthening of the level of environmental adaptation. Calibration to mitigate environmental penalties. There is also the realm of genius. Now, for example, born temperature resistance. One by one, one by one, I became a person who did not burn well in heat or cold.

‘The combat strength has reached its limit. It won't be impossible to post it.... ’

The control personality evaluates all interactions in winter. This includes commanding forces. In other words, the system experience at this point was well-accumulated. Enough to pioneer the Realm of Misanswers in Combat Skills.

However, "personalization skills" was only one step. The higher the skill grade, the more exponential the consumption demands are common across the calibration. How much less genius and superhuman territory.

The cost of opportunity to give up in order to enhance superhuman shooting was the sum of dozens of enhanced calibrations that would be enhanced to human limits, including genius reading methods and genius memorization skills.

To some extent, all other combat skills have reached a practical limit. Usually it means that we have reached levels that are well beyond human limits.

Therefore, winter made a realistic choice. If order had been a broken world, now would be the time to need a different kind of strength.

The small city quickly retreated. Past the north of the city where the fields, big markets and factories mix, the road runs straight toward the horizon. The fields and farmlands that were gradually desertifying seemed to be eroded in the pioneering era. On top of that, the noise from the jet engine passes relentlessly. It was the Sacramento International Airport, which is where Regional Command is located.

Lieutenant Evans glances up at the sky, squinting at the sun.

“Looks like we're running low on runways after all. ”

Winter sees high altitudes as well. There were many large planes that looked like civilian roads. However, the United States Air Force's sentence is identified in the fuselage.

“You wouldn't have had a chance to expand. It was only a full night before the 75th secured the airport. ”

In the 75th Regiment, Rangers originally occupied and defended key facilities such as airports. It would have been a real base since then, so no matter how hard we tried, there would have been limits to the expansion. This is not enough time for concrete to harden in the first place.

Soon after crossing the bridge to the Sacramento River, the airport's conductor entered the visible area. On either side of the road, a myriad of flags were blown by the wind. It was not original because it was clean to see. I see the United Nations next to the Progenitor.

The Constabulary has requested a pause in front of the checkpoint. The garrison officer saluted the winter.

“David mission unit, check. After the blockage, the lead vehicle will be attached. ”

However, I felt a strange look on the guard's face watching winter. Rather than disliking it, we have strange fears and boundaries in the shadow of tense favors.

Winter was also encountered at Davis' forward base (FOB), where it had just left this feeling. It was also from the same Military Constabulary.

‘Has the news already been delivered here.... ’

It was a measure for the Juwei Society.

It must have been embarrassing for the Constabulary. Winter paid attention to the lieutenant of the Constabulary. But there was a request for cooperation, or more, from the Central Intelligence Agency the day after.

Alternatively, you may have only identified the incident after receiving a request for cooperation. Rather, it was more likely. The Lt. Col. doesn't always ask us to report what happened.

Either way, however, it made sense to think that there was a connection between the request of the Winter Soldier and the request of the intelligence agency. Whether winter requested it yourself or the intelligence agency was watching the winter, I'm afraid I'll have to hesitate to join the Military Constabulary. Even though winter gave the impression that the military was trying to solve problems on the outside, there was nothing to say. In a way, it was true.

‘But...... that was the best. There's nothing the Militia can do about it. ’

The change was certainly better for her who appeared to be in danger.

The armored car that was following the leading vehicle passed through the middle of a foreign language. It was an allied faction with the exact same equipment as the U.S. military. Soldiers on the side of the road clamor as they point their fingers at winter.

Soon after, it was another allied camp. But this time it was different at the equipment level. There was a stench in the human body. The entire garrison is filled with the color of poverty. The soldiers here are clearly exhausted. Not physically, but mentally.

“I feel sad when I see my friends like that. ”

Lieutenant Foster came up across from Evans one day.

“How much money does the asylum government have……. Or how much money they spend. Those who allocate their budget say they're preparing for the future, but what about those who may not have it tomorrow? Sacrifices belong to soldiers who always obey. ”

Exile governments don't spend money. You can't thank the soldiers for their sacrifice. Such controversy was presently progressive. It was a really good material for media that was exclusive to refugees.

There were actually people who left the government. People ask me if I'm a soldier. Those who have not begun to be soldiers, but who have chosen to be soldiers by their own choice. Why do they try to be unfamiliar with their duty?

I thought the exception would be in the country of incarceration, but it wasn't.

The depressing landscape passed without adding anything else. Just five minutes past the hangar, the destination was the airport headquarters. A Constabulary officer landed from a stalled lead vehicle. He gestures with an open hand in front of the winter leap off the armored car top and the chamberlains coming out.

“I'll show you. This way. ”

Winter and the staff are arranged to go to the briefing room on the first floor. The inside was crowded with crowds. You can also see the reinforcements that just flew in line on the ground.

The briefing room was a typical space that a travel agency in Bondi would have used as an office and reception.

Winter bowed to Warden Rogers. He sat in a chair facing the semi-circular seat. The warden and all who were there first responded to winter.

“It's been a long time since I've seen it. ”

“Yes.”

“Let's sit this way. ”

Negative without emotion. I do not feel welcome in the front row or the nearest warden. I didn't really hate winter, but I was a person who treated everyone the same. I was relieved that winter had not changed. If it had changed, I would have explained why.

It was a little early, so small talk flows between the attendees. Winter flows, but there is a gap between the other people and winter. It is the seat of those who have not yet come.

A question asked by Warden Rogers, who was looking at the map as if it were a genuine object.

“Major Han. Are you personally acquainted with Warden Strickland? ”

“……… sir? ”

“Greetings from your court. ”

Strickland's "Memory" correction enhanced the brief memory of winter.

“Are you like Captain Strickland, who was the commander of the Vandenberg Air Force Base? ”

“Yes, you are now deputy commander of Mobility Command. ”

“ ……. ”

Unpleasant winter. He would, too. It was vague to say he knew. The parched branch-like commander came to see the face of the youngest war hero, but he only took a signature for his daughter. “Signature.” It reminds me of the silent general who asked for just one word.

‘It's similar…… ’

The Strickland side only met for a short time, but it was very different from Rogers' silence.

“Why aren't you answering? ”

Again, Rogers' voice was not hard enough to calm down. Winter apologized.

“I'm sorry, but this is an ambiguous question. ”

“Ambiguous?”

“Yes, I've seen you for a while, but it's been a while. I remember it was less than 15 minutes in time. So we don't really know each other very well. ”

“Hm. When, exactly? ”

“When I was deployed to San Francisco, ”

“With Operation Fair Strike? ”

“Yes.”

“Was General Strickland meeting with you part of the operation? ”

At this point, I feel a little strange. Warden Rogers was a person who needed to do something unnecessary. Why do you ask? The other mission commanders who were seated stopped talking and became suspicious.

There is no way to know what's in Rogers right now, but winter has answered as it is.

“No, he's just here to get his signature. ”

“... Signed? ”

“You said you'd give it to your daughter. ”

Heh. A little smile burst out of my sight. And the swift way to suppress it. But Rogers doesn't even look at you. He slowly glanced at the winter and said as if to confirm.

“Apparently you didn't even know Alamo 1 was his daughter. ”

“…… Yes. I didn't know.”

I didn't know you were a soldier. Alamo 1 was the squadron leader of Alamo 3 and Pelletier.

“I see.”

Director Rogers nods again.

“I see. Coincidence. Which means it wasn't another one of your backgrounds. ”

“ ……. ”

Winter has only just begun to realize Rogers' intentions. I was concerned about what happened in the Military Constabulary when I found out about Roger. It was just a message from General Alamo and greetings from General Strickland, but it must have been a relief for Rogers.

The left was confused. They don't seem to know yet.

Wouldn't it be better to create a standstill if we were going to talk about this?

Winter, I thought, came to the conclusion that it might be better to eliminate the controversial rumors before they spread. Rogers is quite capable.

What he says.

“It must be hard for you, too. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

“…… we'll talk about this later. If the opportunity arises.”

After the conversation, the warden mutters, looking at the clock. You're late. The meeting isn't scheduled yet, but you should arrive a little early for the stern Commander's good graces.

# Q&A

Q. DHSDE: Since the end of the world only needs to be lowered in order to clear the world view, can intelligent variants coexist by breeding humans or neglecting very few humans? Or is it possible for a paid diesel user to control the mutation to see an end where humans and variants coexist?

A. The only reason a variety breeds humans is because it's already superior to humans, so there's no need for that. There's no reason to stop attacking humans. Variant control with DLCs is partially possible.

Q. 14C2A58H2: Just like most bacteria and fungi need to be somewhat humid to be preserved, infection complexes don't last very long in normal conditions. And when will we rescue the heroic winter army instead of @? Rescue Autumn from the clutches of evil villains

A. No. Infection can only be achieved with wounds./If that were the case, how far do you think a starlight child would go to judge a villain?

Q. Strawberry Sweeper: @ Why is it automatic? We have a historic double-barrel shotgun.

A. If you want to deal with quick and small targets, you don't usually have to be very good at it. There are many gun experts who say a shotgun is inappropriate for self-defense.

Q. KTH: Is it first for humanity to eradicate the plague? Is it first for the evolution of the plague to eradicate humanity?... It feels like a plague company in the game.../@ Variations are amazing. If we turn to wings and projectile infections later, humanity will be ruined. Birdstrake helicopters or airplanes and ground troops will fall apart like wolf packs... If we turn the fluids into acid here, the armor will melt down.

A. As I have previously responded to others, acid-resistant coated glove vehicles are not harmed by the explosion of the deadller. However, it takes a lot of time for all vehicles to be coated.

In the case of flying objects, the opponent is a fighter and a helicopter. Flight performance (? It's almost impossible to prove its effectiveness against the Air Force. You don't have to do that. You just have to get me a cannon. And you said Bird Strike is almost impossible. We need the same level of acceleration and redirection as anti-aircraft missiles.
