Symbiote Ninth

Link swore to join the Freedom Army at the age of 11. He is not a theist either. It is not surprising that many people in the Freedom Army do not believe in the existence of God. What they believe in is another thing, love, hope, Freedom, these things that sound more illusory than gods are all they pursue, although these things sound more like dream bubbles in the world.

"Actually, if I hadn't met you, I still wanted to go back after I came out this time." Link said, "I want to know what Dutan is hiding, but you caused such a big mess—"

Link looked at Caesar, seemingly helpless, "Let's take one step at a time."

Caesar was still immersed in the shock of just knowing the truth, and he looked at Link suspiciously, "Are you really from the Freedom Army?"

"Actually...it's not accurate to say that." Link said: "I never felt that I belonged to anyone. I was only loyal to myself, but I just happened to meet like-minded people, and there have been disagreements within the Free Army for a long time. No, I'm not standing in line."

"Does Chenghe also know about this?"

"He doesn't know, I won't let him get involved." Link didn't want to talk more.

Caesar sat silently, and it took him a while to accept the fact, no wonder, Caesar thought, no wonder he had so many out-of-print books, no wonder he was so interested in them.

"Then do you know why Francois treated me like that?" Caesar suddenly thought of this, and said with some vigilance, "Does he really want to dismantle me and make a new symbiont?"

"I don't know what he's thinking. I'm not in the same group as him. Don't be afraid. I've told you. I'm not from any power. Our goals are actually different." He rubbed Caesar hair, "Don't worry about me taking advantage of you."

"Then why are you so nice to me?" Caesar tilted his head to look at him.

Now that Link has confessed to him, he no longer has any worries. He looked at Caesar with forgiving and helpless eyes, "Don't you know?"

"What do I know?"

"You said it yesterday." Link repeated what he said, "You know I like you."

"...Ah?" Caesar subconsciously stood up and said at a loss, "Really?"

Link was speechless for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Fake."

He got up and walked out, Caesar belatedly touched his lips that had been kissed by him.

It was almost afternoon, and this was the hottest time of the day. Although it was still very cold, it was much better than in the morning. The two men came out of the tent in full armor, and Caesar's mind was full of his "like" and his lips. Temperature, what is this?Caesar thought to himself, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would easily tell others that he likes him.

"Hey!" Caesar kicked the snow in front of him, looking for something to say, "Why don't you eat?"

"Eat sparingly, I don't want to starve to death." Link replied.

"Oh, that—" Caesar had just said this, when he saw a small gap in the exit, Link seemed to be relieved, and he turned around and went back to pack the tent.

When he packed up and turned around, Caesar had disappeared.

"...Caesar!" Link shouted, "Come out!"

No one responded, he threw the bag out, barely squeezed out of here, the turbulent current roared and demonstrated not far away, he was a little worried, and raised his voice and shouted: "Caesar!"

From a distance, Caesar seemed to respond to him, Link turned his head to look, Caesar ran over on the snow, and threw him a snow rabbit whose corpse was still warm with a cold face.

"Here you go," Caesar said.

The terrain at the exit was uneven, and the two of them were not walking fast. Caesar's immobile right hand was held by him, and he kept looking around at the surrounding environment.

"What are you looking at?"

"I think this is a good place to build a house." Caesar said, "It's safe from the wind, and there are rabbits."

"Really?" Link said, "Just based on these two points?"

Caesar nodded, and Link moved his hands, clasping his fingers tightly, "If we are safe in the future, we can consider building a house here."

After walking for less than three hours, it was dark again. Link found no clues of anyone's activities. The two found a shelter from the wind and set up a tent. Link roasted the rabbit that Caesar had caught.

"Is it delicious?" Caesar looked eagerly.

Link said, "It's delicious."

Caesar stretched out his hand, his fingers were long and white, and there were a few shallow palm lines on the palm. Link looked at it, and with a groan, he tore a small piece of rabbit meat and put it in his palm. Caesar put it in his mouth and chewed it. The smell of oily meat was gone, so he spit out the meat, after a moment of aftertaste, he lowered his head and licked his palm lightly.

Link wiped the oil on his hands with cleaning paper, and cleaned himself up by the way. Caesar got into the tent and lay down. After a while, he also came in, and took out a short machete from his bag.

"Why go?"

"Catch another rabbit for you." Link turned and left.

It's cold outside, so it's better to use winter clothes. Link pulled the zipper to the top, and just wanted to find a good view to see the terrain, but he saw a light gray rabbit flashing past in front of him.

With sharp eyesight and quick hands, he chased after the rabbit. The rabbit didn't seem to have seen anyone before. He was a little panicked and bumped into a tree without thinking. The knife actually made a sound when it rubbed against metal.

At the same time, a very sharp siren sounded, a red light flickered not far away, a burst of chaotic footsteps approached, and four people came out of nowhere and surrounded him!

Link raised his hands and stepped back slowly, with his back against the tree. Someone asked vigilantly, "Who?"

Link said, "Soldier, here to carry out the mission."

He was wearing a uniform, with short shaved hair, and a tall and straight figure. These words are very credible. However, the other party did not put down their weapons because they knew his identity. ? Why are you the only one?"

"The mission is confidential, so we can't say it." Link licked his lips and looked at their guns—they were all outdated models, and they were wearing light gray cold-proof clothing of a unified standard without any patterns or logos, which looked a bit worn out , it can be seen that their time here is not short.

"It's not just me, there is another comrade in arms."

"Put down your weapon and follow us." The other party stared at him.

"Who are you?"

The other party sneered, as if he didn't bother to answer, but after thinking about it, the other party whispered: "People from the Free Army."

"..." Link threw the knife and looked back at the ground he had cut just now. Someone slapped him hard on the back with the butt of a gun. He groaned, turned and walked forward.

Soon he came near the tent, Link seemed to be a little absent-minded, he didn't see the road under his feet clearly, and accidentally fell down, the four of them seemed to be facing a big enemy, and they yelled, "What are you doing?!"

"Slippery feet." Link said, "Sorry."

They approached, but there was still no sound in the tent. Link said, "He may have gone to find a water source nearby."

The leader bent down, opened the tent with a gun and walked in. After a while, he still didn't come out, and the remaining two held Link, one on the left and one on the right, and the one on the left was a little worried: "What's going on? "

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help looking over with his gun in his hand. Seeing him open the tent, Link suddenly turned around and stretched his legs to sweep across, kicking the person on the right to the ground, grabbed the gun without hesitation, and pointed it at him. Pull the trigger with your right leg!

The other party howled in pain, Link fired another shot, and looked at the tent with the gun in his hand. The two in front were both knocked out by Caesar, and fell to the ground in disarray. Caesar squatted down and looked at him depressedly. He asked happily: "Is this the rabbit you found?"

"Sorry." Link rubbed his hair, "Are you angry again?"

Caesar couldn't help but punched him hard on the leg. It was really not pleasing to the eye. Link almost knelt down on the ground, and hurriedly said, "I'll take you to a good place."

"If you dare to lie to me again, you will die." Caesar's face was gloomy, as if he was going to eat people, "Did you hear that?"

Link told him what happened just now, and Caesar said speechlessly: "They are members of the Freedom Army? Then you are not in the same group, why didn't you tell them."

"You believe it when they say it is? I don't think so." Link's thoughts were very clear, "Stop talking, let's go."

The two tied up the three fake rabbits and left together. Link took him back to the tree just now. The frozen soil and snow were too hard. All the snow covering that layer of metal was scraped off.

It turned out to be a rusty iron door.

Link put his hand on the groove used to open the door, and with a little force, the door was opened, revealing a very narrow gap, nothing came out of it, only a black hole was seen.

"Look." Link said to Caesar, "It seems to have found a secret base."

Caesar seemed curious about his statement, "What is the secret base?"

"It's a place to do bad things secretly." Link patted his face and said, "Follow me closely, don't run around, listen to me, understand?"
