[Captain Captain] Parallel World

Later, neither of them fell asleep. They were very tired, but they couldn't fall asleep. It was like the kind of body that was so tired that it didn't even want to move, but the spirit was still jumping around.

They took several trains, buses, evaded the commandos in various ways, almost fell in a few times, had to attack the police officers, and then escaped quickly. She suspected that they were both wanted. ordered.

It was definitely a long-distance escape, and most importantly, it had to cross borders. Natalie fell from Italy to Austria, and now she is going to cross from Austria to Hungary. She swears that this is definitely the most hurried few times in her life. International travel.

Fortunately, Italy, Austria, and Hungary are all fascist sites, so the inspections are not strict... Wait, is this a lucky time! !

And she found that her memory was gradually declining, as was her physical strength and immunity. The only thing she was lucky was that there was Max's help by her side, but what made Natalie frown was that Max cared less about the deaths of those people than she did.

Fortunately, the two of them cooperated well. Max learned a lot and matured a lot in the process of fleeing. He is no longer the flustered teenager Natalie met at the beginning. Emotions have subsided, and sometimes when he is in a bad mood, he will frown silently, which makes people a little unpredictable.

Obviously this kind of maturity was needed during their escape. After realizing the changes in her body, Natalie also worked hard to teach him what he should know, because she was afraid that he would not need her later. But she had to rely on him.

They crossed the Austro-Hungarian border smoothly... thanks to the Germans who were fighting with the Hungarians to confuse them.

They came to Budapest, the capital of Hungary.

Budapest in 1944 was a lawless city.The Nazi activities of fascists and anti-Semites did everything possible to help the German army send Jews to death row.Excited Nazis roamed the streets all the time hunting down Jews and dissidents.

Obviously, Natalie and Max are the latter two, so they are more careful. When there is no definite guarantee that they can see Mr. Wallenberg directly, they spend most of their time in the house temporarily rented by Natalie. go out.

After many days of sending Max to inquire about the news, Natalie still has not received a letter of approval, which made her a little anxious, and because of her illness, she has now been reduced to the point where she can only lie in bed,

Moreover, Max always went to inquire about the news, which made Natalie feel very unsafe. Although he had learned how to conceal his identity, it was not unreasonable to be a little worried.

In mid-September, the climate in Hungary was not hot, but it was rainy. Another day of heavy rain fell, but Marx did not come back on time.

After midnight, there was still no news. Natalie's heart sank. She didn't think Max would escape alone. Although Natalie was indeed holding back, with Max's personality, even if he wanted one Even when people walk, they will do it aboveboard.

If not fleeing, then... being caught.

Thinking of this, Natalie was dizzy for a while, but she had to pull herself together, swallowed two pills, and then forced herself to close her eyes.I need to get some sleep first, and then... I have to go out tomorrow.

But things often don't go as planned.Natalie guessed right, Marx was captured by the fascists, and not only that, the person who reported Marx also reported Natalie, who was considered a dissident and was arrested in the middle of the night , and heard that they were going to be transported to concentration camps.

By the way, the person who reported them was the landlord who charged her a lot of gold coins to rent this crappy house to them.A miserly old man with yellow teeth.

Everything that belonged to Natalie was confiscated, even the angel nameplate that her mother had left her was ripped off from her neck.It was sterling silver, not really valuable, but it had Natalie's name and date of birth engraved on it.It was given to her by the priest of the church when she was baptized.

All that concerned Natalie was that this was the last thing her mother had left to connect her.

Maybe she should be thankful that she took down the military plate for fear of revealing her identity.

Before it was her turn to board the train, she was locked in a prison. The dark and humid environment did not help her condition at all. He was so sick that he couldn't even speak.Lying on the dirty and filthy floor, the occasional low coughing sound proved that she was not dead yet.

No one would approach her even if she was in the same prison. The daily food and water were pitifully low. Naturally, no one would keep some for a dying person like her. Natalie could only curl up, Comfort yourself that things can't get any worse anyway.

The cold night gradually invaded Natalie's body. She had been hungry for a whole day. She had no food or medicine. She felt that she could not even survive the days when the fascists sent them to concentration camps.

But don't want to die.

The face that was once unwilling to be scratched was covered with dirt and grime, and the brilliant blond hair was like dry straw. His eyes were staring blankly at a black mark on the wall. It should be a blood stain. It was Nata. Li coughed up this morning.

Even at this moment, Natalie still didn't give up the hope of escaping, she was trying hard to think about how to escape in the next journey with her burnt mind.

The dim moonlight shone through the bars of the cell, and even the crying women in the cell were already asleep, but for some reason, there was a commotion in front of them, waking everyone up come over.

The jailers walked in with kerosene lamps, which were not considered bright, and the sound of jingling keys stimulated the people in the prison. The pounding sound made those women who had stopped crying start crying again.

But at this late hour, no one would come to round the room. Natalie suddenly thought of something and looked out of the cell, but because of the blurred vision, she could only see a few figures staying in their room. The door of the cell.

The sound of the key entering the keyhole caused the crowd to become agitated. Everyone looked at the cruel jailer with hope, but he stepped aside to let an ordinary man in a suit stand behind them. stood in front of.

"You know this is not in accordance with the rules." Although he said so, the jailer still gave way. "Mr. Wallenberg, you have to be careful."

"Of course, Mr. Schiller, I know where you are in trouble." The expression on the man's face was a little serious, "But this is my niece after all, and I guarantee that all of this is a misunderstanding."

Touching the stack of banknotes already in his pocket, Schiller just cracked his teeth and smiled, and let others see the gold teeth in his mouth.

"Of course I believe you. All this is a misunderstanding. After all, they are your relatives." After receiving the benefits, he would naturally help out. Schiller turned his head to the cell and shouted impatiently at those people "Get out of the way you stupid pigs, Miss Nathalie Lorraine? Are you there?"

Natalie let out a few deep coughs, her vocal chords could no longer utter specific sentences, but fortunately this made them notice her,

Hearing someone gasp, and then the sound of da da da leather shoes hitting the floor, Natalie was helped up by a person. His hand was the warmest thing Natalie felt today.Just like... father.

"Hi, Natalie, are you okay?" The voice sounded similar, Natalie was being supported by someone weakly, but this person gave her the feeling of her father back then, she could only shake her head to express her own Not so good right now.

"Well, I'm Raul Wallenberg. Charlie should have mentioned me, right?" Raul said gently as he helped her walk out of the cell. He had never seen Natalie, but Charlie had sent her a message. He had come to her photos before, but he didn't expect to become so sick.

Natalie nodded, expressing that she knew him. Although she really wanted to ask if there was any news about Max, she obviously couldn't do it yet.

The more knowledgeable junior officers sent a wheelchair in time, and Raul helped her to sit on it, then nodded towards Schiller, and Schiller, who was sure that they were done, locked the cell again and ordered that if If someone makes trouble, just pour hot water on it.

Hearing the cries of those people inside, Schiller only raised the corners of his lips, and then led them out.
