"We're going back for more than half a day. Walking on the roof of the car, the cold wind did not erode the bodies of the two, but only froze their ears a little red, "The night handover, just in time for us to sleep well on other trains." With such frequent patrols, the upper side is too vigilant? It has entered the true confines of the Empire, and is no longer a wilderness with no people. Presumably, the enemy should give up. ”

After thinking about it, the man continued: "The captain was communicating with his superiors when he heard something. It seems that not only the enemy, but also our own side suffered no less losses. Moreover, the number of deaths between the two is not proportional at all. Maybe it's a hard guy. We are also special people who have been withdrawn from the front line to the empire as a dark line in various senses, and we know a lot about the situation there on the front line. Among the many bases around the battle line, although such a powerful volcano base is not ranked in the top dozen, in the eyes of many people, he is also a force majeure existence. And because of the special location of the frontal bases, anyone who can sit in the position of the highest commander of those bases also has some names in the high-level circles. ”

"But to relist is to be attacked. The other person didn't talk much, he was also curious, but he was well suppressed in his heart, "These things have nothing to do with us, and there is no point in discussing them a few more times." It's better to do the things in front of you. The top has its own style and method of doing things, and we can't decide what. ”

"By the way," the man remembered something, looked at the man beside him and said, "Recently, the personnel of the Imperial Military Department have been transferred very much, and the positions of all kinds of people have been promoted and lowered. Perhaps we are experiencing another turbulent period of personnel change. I thought it would be better to focus on that. ”

"It seems to be. The position is promoted by one level, and the things that can be harvested every year can also increase many times. It's an opportunity, but I don't have much capital anymore, and I can only pray in my heart that my strength is valued by the people above. After saying that, he laughed first. The people on the side laughed together.

As they spoke, the two of them were already at the end of the realignment, when they turned around and returned, and their usual conversation continued.

On the way, the conversation was interrupted by a shrill voice. The sound hidden in the noise of the rearrangement and the howling of the wind, the perceptual acuity of both of them was not bad, and it was immediately captured.

"Hear that?" the two asked, looking at each other and speaking almost at the same time.

The sound continued, not far in front of them. During the questioning, they immediately slowed down and walked to the source of the sound. They knelt down, and their voices were heard more clearly.

It's the sound of rubbing, some like a big rat lying on a wire grinding its teeth, but that sound is amplified many times over. It was very oozing, and the eardrums trembled rapidly because of the sound. They frowned, making sure that the voice was indeed coming from the recolumn and was right below them.

"Could it be that there is a problem with one of the relisted parts?" said one of them, "after all, it has been attacked, and it is not uncommon for hidden dangers to appear until now." ”

"Perhaps, listen to it again?" said the other man, with his ears completely pressed against the roof of the car, and the sound was even more pronounced. He closed his eyes, trying to gauge the approximate distance between the source of the sound and himself. But the sound stopped abruptly at this moment, giving him a sense of abruptness.

"This is a cold store, which seems to be an important cargo compartment. The man stood up and habitually looked around, "Maybe it's a malfunction." He judged, "It's about to be at the handover station, where there are more professional people who will report the situation and they will deal with it." The retrain is still on the move, and it is not possible to stop and check. ”

"Yes, and it saves us trouble. The other nodded. They waited there for a while, but the voice was not there. Believing that it was indeed a malfunction of the retrain body, the two returned to the nose of the tractor.

They had not been gone long before the same voice sounded again. But there was already some distance, and the two of them could no longer hear the voice.

In the front of the tractor, two people returning from patrol are routinely reporting on the patrol.

"Got it, I'll give it back to the professionals there. The team leader jotted down the main points and replied, "Be ready for the handover, the problem can't come up with us." Although we are all under the power of one person, the relationship between the different nature of the team is not very friendly. Passing the buck is commonplace. ”

"Got it, Captain. The two replied.

The retrain continued to move at its usual pace, and after crossing a significant distance, the temperature showed signs of a widespread recovery. The number of buildings in the surrounding area continued to increase, and the number of small-town-style clusters became more numerous, and patches appeared on both sides of the railway line. And in the early evening, when the sun finally showed some bright light, a city appeared. The last rays of the sun were shining on it, gilding it with an orange hue. The end of the railway line spreads into the city, and the retrain seems to be moving into a picture.

The whistle sounded, and the sky quickly darkened under the sound of breaking through the sky. The retrain turned on the large searchlight on the front of the car at the right time and began to slow down slowly. It's a long process, and by the time the retrain has reached the edge of the city, the city is already lit up.

The station is located in the transitional section of the city. It's not as lively as imagined, it's just a small and medium-sized city, and the daily freight and passenger flow is certainly not as much as one percent of those big cities.

Approached the platform steadily. The retrain was separated on one side of the station, and on the unloading platform on the side, there was hardly anyone to be seen, it was cleaned and deserted, and the lights were much brighter than in other places.

There was only a group of people standing at the front of the unloading table, twelve people, neat, straight, almost the same height. I also wore a pale green padded jacket, but it was thinner. Dressed over a long black trench coat with a high collar. Under the trench coat is the body of just the right body, standing there like an iron nail nailed to the ground. Armed with a pistol and a short sword at the waist. There was no hat, but the head was covered with a mask, pure white, without any substantive pattern, like a delicate mask, like a freshly cut face.

"Which team is this?" someone behind him wondered.

"I don't know. The man who was the captain also shook his head, he really didn't have the impression of dressing the team like this. But it's certain that they're the ones who came over to hand it over.
