Our car was driving on the road, and the surrounding area changed from uninhabited wasteland to large tracts of farmland, and the farmland was an endless green ocean.Oh, and some are still seas of gold.

The corn and wheat are swaying with the wind, a quiet and peaceful scene, even though they are far away, they seem to be able to smell their fragrance.

"This is a good place," Caliban said, breathing in the fresh air greedily, as if if he missed it, he would never be able to breathe again.

"Who says it's not." I agreed.Such a quiet and peaceful scene will always make people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Charles also smiled: "If possible, I hope we can live in such a place."

Then everyone fell silent, and the superficial relaxation was finally shattered.

Even though we are more comfortable on the surface, the inner tension has not decreased at all, and even deepened.

If it is possible, but unfortunately there is no if, it is just our beautiful fantasy after all.

This world is so unreasonable, it suddenly strikes people for no reason.Even the reason might be more dire than no reason at all.

You can't change anything by complaining and complaining. It may hit you again and get worse.

Logan took us to a small town and found a hotel to stay in.It's where we rest.

All kinds of facilities in the town are very complete, although they are all low-end versions.A large shopping mall is near the hotel.There is also a swing car in front of the mall.

Laura glanced at it a few times, her eyes clearly expressing her thoughts.

Having been paying attention to Laura, I quickly understood what she meant, and it made me smile.

"You like it?" I asked her.

She nodded.

Then we looked at Logan next to us, and Logan smiled helplessly seeing the expectant expressions of the two of us.

"Go." He took out a few coins from his pocket, "Have fun."

Laura happily accepted it, and bounced towards the swinging car.

She didn't go up immediately, but stood by the swing car and waited for me to walk over.

"You play too," she said, taking out a coin.

I shook my head: "You play, I don't like to play this now."

Laura didn't make any excuses, and got on the swing car directly.Laura on the swing car was smiling happily, the first time I saw her laugh like a real child, as if she had always been so carefree.

But it was also the last time I saw her laugh like that.

To be honest, the last time I sat on a swing car was more than ten years ago. If you count the time spent in the mission world, it has been more than 20 years. Everything about it is too old.

But I haven't forgotten the feeling of riding a swing car, and I will never forget it.Every time I ride the rocking car, my parents stand aside and look at me tenderly, and smile back at me when I look at them. They are so gentle and full of love for me.

But I didn't feel much about it at the time, and some of it was just the joy of playing what I wanted to play.

It wasn't long before I felt it.I also understand a truth, all happiness is because you have an environment that allows you to be happy, when an accident happens, you lose the ability to be happy.

You will never feel truly happy again.

We first went to the mall together to buy a new outfit.Due to various requirements we all need to change clothes.

As for clothes, I don't have any requirements. It is enough to be able to wear them and not to be too ugly in terms of appearance.

But Charles and Caliban insisted on taking us, and let me pick a favorite.

"Girls, naturally you have to dress up beautifully, and you can't treat yourself badly."

The kindness is hard to but, I smiled and agreed.

Of course, there must be clothes I like in the mall, but there is a difference between liking and wanting to buy them. After buying many things, I don’t like them so much.So in the end I just picked a red hat with little fluffy antlers on it.

Laura picked out a denim jacket and a light brown hat, and the little guy smiled happily while holding the two new clothes.

"Does it look good?" she asked me like a real kid with a new purchase.

I nodded seriously: "It looks good, very good looking."

Laura came up to me and put my red antler hat on my head: "You look good too."

I smiled shyly.

No matter how many mission worlds I have experienced, I am still instinctively embarrassed when someone praises me, and I feel that I am not worthy of this praise.

Charles, Caliban and Logan also looked at me and Laura with smiles. It seemed that the flames of war were far away from us, the explosion of bullets was far away from us, and everything seemed to be quiet and peaceful again.

But it just seems that in the midst of rough seas, you will never experience peace unless...

Unless you are dead.

This kind of tranquility must be something no one wants, at least in most cases, it is better to be alive than to be dead.

We asked the hotel receptionist for two rooms, one for Caliban, Logan, and Charles, and one for Laura and me, which happened to be separated by gender.

We sat in Logan's room for a while to discuss plans for tomorrow. Although plans are not very useful, it is absolutely impossible to have no plans.

Laura put the coat she had been wearing on the table in Logan's room, and I put my packages on top of it.Our few bags are all put together.

"Tomorrow morning or at noon?" I asked first.

Logan thought for a while, and replied: "I want to leave in the morning, but..."

Caliban continued: "But there's no place to rest until we meet good people, and we can't count on that."

I said again: "Then let's fix it here, anyway, it's impossible for those people to find here in a day. We tried to avoid surveillance along the way, and we even changed our clothes."

This is the main reason why I chose to stay a little longer.In the movie, it was because of the Charles riot that the trace was discovered. Now that Charles has been cured for most of the time, it is impossible for the ability riot to happen again.

For good reason, they all agreed.

We spent some time chatting about other things and then went our separate ways.

However, what I didn't expect was that my words would come true, and those people really found them within a day.

The moment I realized this fact, my pride was viciously crushed and thrown away with contempt.

And this time it can't be avoided by going first. If we don't find out, we may even take them to our final destination. At that time, the loss will be more serious if we are caught off guard.

...although in the end they also went to our final destination.

Soon it was evening.I was on the window side of the bed and Laura was on the other.It didn't take long for her to fall asleep, with only the sound of shallow breathing remaining.

And I was still tossing and turning in bed.

I looked out of the window, and outside the window was half of the moon hanging high, illuminating the whole land.There are few lights, and apart from where we are staying, there are endless farmlands far away, and there are no gatherings of people.

It's a small town, so of course it's impossible to have the dense high-rise buildings like New York and Los Angeles.

Everything in the town seems very slow, whether it is its people or its affairs, it seems that the river of time it is in is slower than other rivers of time.You will also involuntarily slow down when you are in it.

But reality will not allow you to slow down, you must run as hard as you can, the only way to not be left behind by reality.

Because after being left behind, you will fall into the bottomless abyss.

It was late at night, and I finally felt sleepy, so I fell asleep.

This night I had a dream, the dream was full of laughter, there was a happy family of children and parents in an amusement park, they...

I woke up early the next morning, and Laura was still there when I woke up. I sat on the bed in a daze for a while, my thoughts wandering between fantasy and reality.

I looked at the surrounding scenery, they were matched with the outlines in my memory, and I was completely awake.

Laura also woke up after I finished washing, and the little guy sat on the bed in a daze for a while.

Laura was rarely seen like this, so I couldn't help chuckling when I saw it.

Laura muttered dissatisfiedly when she saw me laugh.She spoke Spanish, very fast.And I can't understand this speed of speech, so I don't know what she is muttering.

Charles and Logan went out to buy things again. We have to make some preparations for our next trip. After all, there will be a long distance without supply points.

I would have liked to go along, but Logan said there were enough people staying at the inn.I identify with this, so I did.

Caliban didn't go out because the sun was bright and cloudless today.Even if he can walk freely in the sun, it is better to stay indoors in this kind of weather, and shopping is not a must, and if he does go, it may add trouble to the subsequent itinerary.

Laura and I were in our room watching TV and it was SpongeBob SquarePants.

To be honest, I have never tired of watching the cartoon of SpongeBob SquarePants.And it seems that it has no end, I feel like I haven't finished watching it for more than ten years.

This is like the Black Cat Sheriff I watched when I was a child. I always thought it had many, many episodes, but I didn't realize that there were five episodes.

Similar to it is Tom and Jerry. Although there are many episodes of Tom and Jerry and SpongeBob SquarePants, they will always be finished after watching for a long time.

And I don't feel like I've read them all, is it weird?

But I understand some reasons.Probably this is because they entrust my different emotions.

They belonged to my childhood as well as my present, one of the few things that straddles both phases of my life.

After looking at it for a long time, I touched Laura who was still concentrating: "Why don't we go for a walk?"

Laura's reaction was relatively big, I understand, after all, it's scary to be stabbed suddenly like this.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Just walk around," I said.

"Okay." Laura nodded.

We talked to Caliban, and Caliban agreed.He told us that he was still in the house for a while.

And this time around, something happened. In retrospect, I can’t judge whether my move was of great benefit or trouble to me. After all, no matter which path I choose, I will not get through this incident easily. Bleeding is a must.

And these are not so important in the face of reality.

You can't turn back time, you only have one chance.
