這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoZc8GGQEb
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK3CnCqVMx
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDbv52LXGu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0aLOmKAbB
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT0K018jln
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0rAjRNRLZ
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPqKKfmWbM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDTcHlTPKI
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwGFVZwyhQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1x8tZA82Y
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO77RTcpEBY

尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoUGT0ofFk
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizVrzuqdnb
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLJyaXwJsH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhWmPFxYRD
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIejAND1KzC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7OfCF8feV
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQsk3YiF5T
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KqK4S6yKP
距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHeRjd11OS

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79GYyLogSa
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPsL9XrUgd
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeDJpXwOsP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs5iDZ0rhp
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oDI9GbGCO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoAOv8vAuv
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rtkiDRd10
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7C3gh9QZW
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8yeBb1zZm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWMACfKlJT
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2fCUGQrTe
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMG2f7U0cM
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUCmDadpjP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gkjs3uTgT
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JkwL3WjtM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5wOLtLSSp
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdeq4uA4Z6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH7AvrWmxd
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuMl6COp58
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrmtZ1HP89
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOk44bMHYs
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aGgtQzQnY
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX2w7kWA2d
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yz4D4ui9Y
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpEHVVo25F
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtslyE4lZac
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI1mgI8dWK
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJrjwPPgCH
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2NRRttA9w
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vv0bHcTWw
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHCQJYAkkO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslLYidIN1c
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBPEogdFtv
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFvy9ahAI
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQpUSBINNP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFlRPJBZKx
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61v0jeF807
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUdKwxzTTa
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzmvYK4UUl
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXZj6Mklr6
「唔嗚！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WaiLCm8ZE
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvp3YqIBOT
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCjRa4IAPV
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegutrjwXo9
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N5LDybRQ6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aoSrVeoyF
「依奴！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr56l7jcKn
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQTqFYDALY
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98Uwwwoeoo
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUNieCvX9k
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5KK5wdyJQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjvLMUjjs2
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYanbFD9Hua
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV98lXsOnIr
「依奴──」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYjj4X9az5
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRg4TVFXwQ
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPR4Y5cOyd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNcKeNpzlt
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zo6keQDkA
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7tmM6Lnv
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTz2AZXbyQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfLSjceIzz
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6I5K1gFbK
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P6xaRhxMk
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlVrjzyGyd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo7YUhTQIK
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4iB03BjWj
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpZTftdIN9
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsIsRM4iTS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnswZ93W2U
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uMAiA792X
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLNUwqWjTa
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKiqGJ6ndQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Jwblpsxk
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BhgTgW8bz
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHXQ3uCbxq
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWx8yiYDX5
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmacm4CpTMN
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeUFW04TyR
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjzYLWsxsY
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwniWrjFDQH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97bB1VB3eM
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zYWAw5GP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQCkTD1stZ
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3tCdSRY8m
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWsLCHRTXz
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0rKx3t1jV
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlscfuqhT6
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLAwEph5lZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJrolw3nIm
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Yl0cOkN2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAeYXpVAO2
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBeF08F9NA
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r8SkPfk88
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyTPlH6UyH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP7EmMsrQo
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZSz4ZkYMK
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks4vXKnOAo
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjTmThkSu8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19tJxh4mfB
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqqIPSR3fc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TUUuyILYx
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUa1QK0ezC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPTRu9OeJs
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtF38KfttS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sIUctsxmG
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFTDpZXerJ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVi5tnbXGS
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiFtQRYRCT
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YteQa6DEa
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalxUxGBgcB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGRrU4kzdA
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiExRoPfEg
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnXdWNwfew
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4HLi6tcWx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UtCzegJ7T
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjVjRT9TBh
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebdWvVPwlu
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrOlgmzo1G
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLqT5lU45z
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxHYDDZvMu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAI5SfqqrJ
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAvnHe6cUd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0b8fmGDoK
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvcHE3ICJu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKtbFzRzIm
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Blp3vVCgf
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXEaF61Cn
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFes3MUdeKZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpCmnPo5LK
「我早就習慣了。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmrBi2ecz1
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLn7rwPK6j
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGlOc5611x
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSVv2M7p5D
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHnKtMZ2PP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5hpZLj7P5
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WWb80wjVA
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGI4pAj1RL
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGFUUn8N77
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZGeiZIuV3
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBSbhPeIau
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9sK5aELMr
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVIgjFTs6m
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxRTxGg64b
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakGZNH1561
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaPLJlmdk6
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9hAiwUwGg
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmUCJwaaKa
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPb71EaScT
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS8m7HYvMa
「這裡是？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUhhKTFZk1
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1w0nZRUqN
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iPp6XrwRU
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqFBOQGhz5
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUH2YGuNsj
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVcDgxfjpO
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDLJclNWum
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmIzGQjSAe
依奴指了指身後的醫院：447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim7MwhBBrY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhp5KmXk16
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDbqNxnz2k
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w6MQa3pck
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMDOWvWji4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yw2AyZXva
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHidVpJ0asu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5fz3TCDMP
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5jGihgJzQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhetjyArK2
「不可以嗎？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bMYCiEiun
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXa84MIa5I
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLpPaOcAjm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjBmq7T32a
「把杯蓋給我。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1vS9DBKi0
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJYP9T8dAm
「就讓我握一下吧。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQz1jAulSR
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8kgx3X9tK
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12TTHg7909
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpa8xAal1y
「依奴。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xs7lKTE9H
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7qyUKIgv
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9QKDx6hAQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6vp3tNU4n
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GlhJDniwu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJkZRzm2Jl
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHse3JKC66I
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R6VOgbe0o
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKR2HQu3NU
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y8oFaM977
「溫度回來了。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMSr79cdRs
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zaqsvO4bv
「好了嗎？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ACGv7OPoT
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxBrlFohXs
「再稍微這樣一下子。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhDvc5E0Vm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTxvPJkKRr
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sZ1iVsh1i
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyafaqS2c1
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5XvaCceRa
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT9EhXInFn
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMTSgK8aSk
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBftuxKeSJ
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvmbo2Jk94
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNebtIsXJM
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWRnBEbKKE
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzlKxU39cY
「喂。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp5tygjwoh
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVsKGGlgmn
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BvGKopuke
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDNbDVpQlN
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNK6miEcIl
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZg2zJhnXh
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJsjXxQOXC

抱起赫恩後，他踩上旁邊的汽車當作階梯，墊了一步，順著跳躍的勢子往上飛升。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAnEQPQpxg
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZmXFpn4nJ
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQCzWO84d5
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZaLKFwHUZ
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQiRFeczrG
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARsA2scLaV
赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QmZ2dMSVZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM1fLzWIkQ
她扶著牆壁環視四周，內部除了尋常地醫療機構之外，並沒有什麼奇特處。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn38gxtHn1y

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheXeT1KsnF
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeFVJXbDsl
「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ620Y6TY4oc

「旭夜為什麼特別選了這間醫院當倉庫？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R4i2KCE8d
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIbof2mMcX
「因為只是藏在醫院還不夠安全，物資收在『醫院的下面』。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfg4pQjfQA

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZrX3uFEX0
依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENHlL9SgJ6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOTr3H5I3X
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaOXzF2ssJ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wPruCZjbn
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC50GAJQ9h
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwrkzH9KcB
依奴用平淡的口氣說：447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFojMJhdoO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdiAJeLwlj
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9Fsj0BI0Q
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy2ObxKqdn
赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF5ohC3cc4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGgEt3IN9X
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjbe95wGjS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB9oPluw2L
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq93yAzxAc7
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHGB17WdBW
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Mnbl24LX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00OawRJtVK
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S8GUXj1xa
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlLUmAFq9k
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnVsHww2Nc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92SlsbLJ4C
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNLHJaSicM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwxBxEH3Y4
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iB7bU09Pq
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QCLMxrbtT
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNqYDkU3a0
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ602bHH78SH
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj68DXy3cPn
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklc5vO3GSb
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc8HubA8B5
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1Dv62b2PI
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJPtXdCNVc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv27lrRyKE
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGdnliynmP

以及遺骨。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNCDnCgeWy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBIGi1IY8s
徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kZVMCLB1g
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeaAhO9H0S
一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw02z6M9VXr
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPcvOqDXyP
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUgxMlwoY8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmN6MdgRJ3
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8SBjGW0Up
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQUdkJW8Q6
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus55lFWkHj

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg5OU40GNR
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZrEFV98S
他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnjzIoDcNi
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlwZ9W7f4N
「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCYbjdUUuL

「庫奇總是走在最前面，最後也死在最靠近門口的位置。還有捨身替象牙擋下了子彈而死去的瑟拉芬。我們之中年紀最大的奧德，他的軍犬席丹。還有潔莉和狼犬水銀。盧瑟是躲在櫃台後面時被打死的，在我身邊倒下的骸還有格里、坎特……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzxeKxZsCT

「沒錯，」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxubKxVAPiQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM1qgoWM8t
依奴緩緩回過身來，低沉著嗓音，就像回答再自然不過的問題般，輕撫著自己面頰上攀附的扭曲紋路，向赫恩開口：447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTRZpbsI2b

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomoLjq3aWb
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSO0uH3w3l
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuBsHLPRKq

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkPXtfydq3
外面的光線瞬即朝她伸出指爪，譚雅就像被一把白色的利刃穿刺般疼痛地瞇起雙眼，她急遽地朝後方退開，背部重重撞在牆壁上。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn1vuj0W2S

馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡistmGnqFlN

能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQW3acZb8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bBfhXYhGY

說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr7tp9Jv6Q
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ229BsSuKLj
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9TeZv96Jq

由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK74NbBSoOr

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2BznV4r6H
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJDJIY66W2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBue47MjGzb
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIunbm9SMZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc6dmLmHXi
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzu7TbFNTo

他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQOtBqTrW

「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS60jHLM3M

我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhWNWoyJLP

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGLib445mX

要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjwTeNJhWG

最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4AYwtYSBm

「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMXUcfaBk5

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eewhMrG3F
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6asNM2qArY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiiN3kDI1E
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHQvveNxZM

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ191St1CXTG
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCvCIcAVV8
