To my frozen hometown

Chapter 58 There is always a slight deviation between the story and reality

In the end, Yanagihara did not delete the photo of Liz, because Al said he wanted to keep it as a souvenir.

Although reluctant, Yanagihara agreed to Al's request.

Before leaving, the three of them took a group photo next to the dilapidated house in the garbage dump.

In the photo, the snowflakes are flying in the distance. Among the piles of waste, Al is lying on Liu Yuan's back, while Liz is standing aside, smiling and comparing with a pair of scissors.Liu Yuan was squeezed between the two, with a helpless expression on his face.

If there is a future for human beings, if there will be a new generation after the disaster is over, if people in the future can see this picture.

They may feel that this era is not so bad.

Because at least it left something good, even in a world that was all but abandoned.

······

In the evening, Liuyuan took Al and Liz back to the shelter under the barrier and prepared dinner.

Al sat on the narrow folding bed and looked at the camera. There seemed to be some old photos in it.

Liz sat on a chair beside her, sorting out the things she brought back this time.

While tidying up, she also complained, saying that Liu Yuan picked up some useless items.

"The clothes are what I want to wear, and the fountain pen is what I'm going to use to write, so it's useless."

Liu Yuan stood at the low table that was said to be the kitchen, but was actually a workbench, cooking broth, and responded lightly to Liz's complaints.

"What about these two umbrellas?" Liz picked up the two folding umbrellas on the ground with her mouth curled up.

"Don't tell me you're going to use them to weather a blizzard."

"The sunlight on the ice field is sometimes very dazzling." Liu Yuan shrugged: "I'm going to use them to shade the sun."

"Tch, a wanderer is so particular."

Muttering like this, Liz finally put the umbrella in a corner of the room, making the already small room appear crowded and messy.

After dinner, all three of them lay down to rest.

Liz and Al were lying on the bed, and Liuyuan was still lying beside the bed.

Suddenly, Al asked Liu Yuan with a nearly dark photo in the camera.

"Liuhara, is this the first world after the disaster?"

Liu Yuan roughly glanced at the contents of the photo, it was a dark scene, the sky was dark, and only the outlines of the buildings and the faint figures on the streets could be seen in the city.

"En." Probably recalling something, Liu Yuan nodded slightly at the photo, and Liu Yuan stopped talking.

Instead, Liz, who was lying on the side, cast her gaze over and continued.

"The dark age, I have read in the book, it is the most shining hundred years of human nature. If people in our era had one percent of their will, they would not have come to where they are today The fields are gone."

"Why do you say that?" Al turned his gaze to Liz in doubt, and asked in a puzzled voice.

"Because countless heroes were born in that era. They built greenhouses, drove away wild beasts, and opened up a living space for humans on the ice sheet. Without them, we might not exist at all, and humans might have already perished Before the sun reappears."

"You also think they are heroes?" At this moment, Liu Yuan, who was originally silent, suddenly asked.

"Of course, why not, they saved all mankind, didn't they?"

Liz spread her palms as a matter of course, with a little admiration in her eyes.

She yearns for such an era, perhaps people like her should have been born in darkness.

"No, I think they're just a group of people who are doing nothing." Liu Yuan shook his head, expressing his thoughts.

"Hey, I'm going to talk about you Liu Yuan." Liz raised one of her fingers in dissatisfaction when she heard Liu Yuan's words, looked at Liu Yuan seriously and said.

"People should learn to be grateful. Anyway, from a certain point of view, they can be regarded as the people who saved you."

Looking at the girl's serious appearance, Liu Yuan stopped talking.

Maybe she is really not qualified to judge others, but she thinks she is at least qualified to judge herself.

And it is undeniable that in that dark age, human beings did fail.

Liu Yuan once participated in it and witnessed it with her own eyes, so she has a deeper memory than anyone else today.

"By the way!" After a brief silence, Liz seemed to suddenly recall something, and said to Liuyuan and Al with the corners of her mouth raised.

"You know who my favorite character is in that book?"

Al shook his head, but Liuyuan didn't make a sound.

So Liz went on preaching on her own.

"Her name is Liurdman, and she is the leader of the third branch of the Scavenger Organization at the end of the Dark Ages."

Liurdman, hearing this name, a trace of surprise flashed across the face of Liuyuan who was sitting by the bed.

Because she is very familiar with this name, knowing that she used to use exactly the same pseudonym.

And she did serve for a while as a branch executive in the Scavengers.

No, what a coincidence, right?

Subconsciously looking at Liz with his eyes, some changes finally appeared in Liuyuan's calm expression.

In Liz's eyes, this change was regarded as a symbol of Liu Yuan's interest in it.

So the smile on the girl's face became even wider, and she said exaggeratedly.

"Let me tell you, that woman can definitely be called a legend. She once accomplished the feat of killing three monsters alone with a short knife, and she is extremely good at using swords."

"In the early days, he participated in more than a dozen battles, such as the War of Extermination of the European Plains, the Battle of Rochester's Withdrawal, etc., and led the soldiers to kill more than [-] beasts. At that time, he was canonized as the Duke of the territory by the last queen of a western country, and A nickname circulated among the soldiers is called Grand Duke Razor. Although this nickname has some irony, it is undeniable that she was definitely one of the most influential humans at that time."

"Later, she joined the Scavenger Organization, participated in the wild beast removal plan drawn up by the greenhouse builder Hiss, and successfully opened up two territories, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, that could provide human survival. Unfortunately, in the deep south of the battle They failed, and all the scavengers chose to stay behind in order to cover the retreat of other troops."

"The same goes for Liurdman. No one knows what her ending will be, but I think it must be an epic full of gunfire and iron blood. Even if it ends eventually, it is equally great."

Having said that, Liz's face was already full of admiration.

But the reality is not like that.

Liu Yuan knew this because she left at that time.

When everyone was facing the beast, she chose to flee in another direction, carrying a friend's entrustment.

It's not an epic, and it's never great.

But looking at Liz's appearance, Liu Yuan finally chose not to tell the truth.

why?

Maybe it was because she also hoped that she hadn't left at that time.

It may be because she also hopes that she can die in a battle.
