After the fierce battle with the ant colony, the president of me was leading his subordinates, and finally came to the outskirts of the city, and saw Yong Ye who was breathing fast against the wall.

"Captain Yong Ye? No problem... It looks like a big problem..."

Instinctively, I asked a common question, and then my president immediately turned his head to look at a man and a woman behind him.

"What are you still doing, hurry up and call the medics!"

"Ah, yes!"

Knowing Yong Ye's combat ability, he couldn't help but be stunned by Yong Ye's injury, and immediately ran to the rear to find medics. During this period, no one noticed that Yong Ye had actually become a carrier of the virus.

...

The medics came quickly and gave Yong Ye emergency treatment. After a while, because the vehicles were no longer able to pass through the ruined city, the rescue helicopters that were arranged to travel through the city also gave priority to Yong Ye and my president's team. The people here were taken to the field hospital in the abandoned city.

To be honest, Yong Ye didn’t need many treatments because he refused to stitch the wound. It was just blood transfusion, disinfection of the wound, and bandages. Now his hands are really covered with bandages.

At night, Yong Ye, who received emergency treatment in the darkness, came to an abandoned park alone.

Looking at the rusty swing, he subconsciously sat on it, like a child alone, swinging in this abandoned park, the swing was severely rusted, but not really broken.

He didn't know if he had such an experience before, if he had been in the childhood of ordinary children, but he only felt that it seemed to be good now, although the sound of the swing echoed in the park, it sounded quite thrilling.

Yong Ye didn't feel that he could continue to participate in the rest of the battle, because his current physical condition was no longer able to support the next battle. Although others didn't know it, this was only to stabilize people's hearts.

After a while, the meaningless swaying stopped. Yong Ye took the holy emperor's side and learned that his sword was broken. He urgently dispatched a new super-alloy sword and inserted the sheathed long sword into the soil. , he lowered his head and held the knife in both hands and fell into a long silence in this darkness.

Hiruko Shadow Yin had come back and told Subaru's death, but he couldn't be happy at all because his own condition was bad.

Without meditation, qi can instinctively keep the changes brought about by the gastroenterovirus in check. This is a good thing, but qi can only temporarily control the outbreak of the virus, but cannot completely remove the residues of the virus. During this period, use it freely. Strength will lead to the further growth of the gastrovirus, so he can only continue to live for a short period of time if he does nothing.

But if he doesn't use the power of qi, then he is not much stronger than ordinary people now. At most, he is the kind of policeman with strong physical fitness. Various abilities will be unavailable, and his combat effectiveness will plummet.

Of course, relying on his combat experience and his long-term kendo practice, he still has a strong fighting power compared to ordinary police officers, but... now he is covered in wounds, and even if he still has fighting power, there will not be much left.

Perhaps it would be better for him not to think about fighting now. After all, what energy do people have to care about others when they are dying? With the current injury, he can completely take a back seat and stay in the field hospital.

But...if the regiment leader abdicates, then there are about 300 policemen left after the two battles. I am afraid they will lose their confidence to resist and go home with their wives and children or lovers and their families to wait for death. Such a situation must be considered. way to avoid it.

What can he do now? What else can be done?

To become the spiritual pillar of people, in the darkness of this desperate situation, in a world that is fragmented and gradually collapsed and left with despair, there is no hope in the world, looking for hope that does not exist?

"Captain?"

When Yong Ye stared at the yellow sand that had hardly changed for ten years under the swing, and fell into a long silence, a visitor suddenly appeared at the entrance of the park. Like last night, Buschcui found the scent of Yongye with his sense of smell, and took the initiative to come up.

"On the head of the regiment, there is a sense of confusion...and there is a continuous increase..."

Without waiting for Yong Ye to say anything, Busch Cui said something that Yong Ye didn't understand very well.

"The smell of confusion? ... I remember you said when you introduced yourself that you are good at smell divination, and I didn't have time to ask at that time, but I want to ask now, what does that mean?"

"This...because I'm a cat, and I've been greatly influenced by cats, my sense of smell is stronger than others. I've smelled many people's scents, and I can roughly judge this from the unique smell."

Humans have 5 million olfactory cells, dogs have an average of 220 million olfactory cells, and cats have an average of 240 million olfactory cells, so cats' sense of smell is very good, although I don't know how Buschcui's sense of smell is, just from her Judging from the fact that you can find Yongye through smell every time, it should be very powerful, but...

"You're saying that there is also confusion in smell? Confusion is just an inner emotion. It has nothing to do with smell, right?"

"Actually I don't get it either. It's more like intuition, um... vague intuition."

The girl who approached step by step looked at the other swing beside Yong Ye, hesitated for a long time but did not sit down. Naturally, it is not necessary to say more about what the swing that has not been used for ten years looks like.

"Intuitive? . . . what's the other smell that keeps increasing?"

Nodding lightly, Yong Ye, who has a very good intuition, did not have any objection to the intuition, but just asked about another smell that she had not finished talking about before.

"That... can the head of the regiment promise not to get angry after hearing this?"

For some reason, Bu Shicui hesitantly fiddled with the yellow sand in the sand pit with his toes, and after dawdling for a long time, he carefully raised his eyes to look at Yong Ye.

"It's all up to now... What else can I be angry about, don't hesitate to say it casually."

When people are about to die, some people may be crazy, some people will be decadent and depressed, and Yongye is close to death because of too many zero distances. At this moment, there are still some days before death. Any omen is indifferently terrifying, even milder than usual.

"It's... similar to the strong smell of death before the death of the dead, and... very faint but real despair. The captain seems to be the type of person who is easily attracted to darkness."

"...Attracted to the darkness? It takes a chance..."

Yong Ye let out a long sigh talking to himself. He didn't want to deny that he was close to death, nor could he deny the despair in his heart.

Thus, silence shrouded between the two.

"...Yes, sorry!"

Although he didn't hear what Yong Ye said to himself, Yong Ye's sigh was actually heard, which made Cui bend over to apologize after being nervous and hurriedly defended.

"I'm not saying that the regiment leader is going to die, and I'm definitely not cursing the regiment leader. I'm just... that, I just want to remind the regiment leader to be careful."

"Don't worry, I'm not angry or anything, just rest assured."

Shaking his head, Yong Ye stretched out his hand to Busch Cui, and when he was surprised and ashamed, he put his hand into her hat.

"The regiment, the regiment leader! For...why?"

"It's nothing, I just want to touch it suddenly. If you hate it, just say it. I'll pay attention next time."

"No, no, no, although I'm very shy... I'm going to die, but... but I don't hate... The captain has saved me twice, so, so I will endure it!"

The girl blushed and closed her eyes, obviously just touching her head, but she looked like she sacrificed her life for righteousness, which made people feel a little bit can't help laughing.

"That's really embarrassing for you."

Yong Ye smiled subconsciously, teasing the girl who was obviously shy but still holding back.

It went on like this for a while, and after playing with the cat ears was almost enjoyable, in order not to make the girl really ashamed, she withdrew her big hand full of bandages and helped her straighten her hat.

"That's...but...is it okay?"

The girl who closed her eyes slightly opened her eyes, unconsciously bewildered by this short time.

In fact, Yong Ye's hands were covered with bandages, and it became a lot strange to touch through the bandages, and at this time, he really didn't have much interest in completing the hobbies of ordinary times.

"Okay, go back to bed early, tomorrow is the last day."

"...Then, what about the captain?"

"Me? I'll be back in a while."
