Apocalyptic Wasteland: Set Up Survival Traps At The Beginning

"Ran Bing... Ran Bing, Ran Bing!"

Um?

In the hunter hall, Ran Bing, who was having a meal, suddenly woke up.

Looking to the side, Penny had already sat next to her at some point.

"Ran Bing, what's the matter with you? You've been so distracted these days..."

Tang Ni looked at Ran Bing with a smile on her face.

"No, it's nothing, I just thought of something..."

Ran Bing shook his head, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Oh~~? What's the matter? Tell me and let my sister analyze it for you!"

For some reason, looking at Ran Bing's expression, Penny was very interested.

"Actually, it's nothing. By the way, Penny, have you ever, that is, sometimes you keep thinking about a person in your mind for no reason, and when you see him, you feel a little excited?"

After listening to Ran Bing's words and looking at Ran Bing's shy and hesitant appearance, Penny put down the spoon in her hand.

"Ran Bing, come with me!"

Well...

Blinking his eyes and looking at Penny who didn't even eat, Ran Bing was stunned for a moment, but still followed her.

The two of them were silent along the way.

Ran Bing was walking with his head half lowered, and he was also distracted.

Suddenly, Penny, who was walking at the front, stopped: "We're here, Ran Bing, come in."

Um?

Looking up, isn't this where Penny lives?

Ran Bing touched his head and felt a little confused.

But he still walked into the room at Penny's invitation.

"Ran Bing, how long has the feeling you just mentioned lasted?"

"I've had a strong feeling for almost a few months, but I had it before, but it's not as strong as it has been recently..."

Ran Bing responded.

At the same time, that figure popped up in his mind involuntarily, and his face turned red.

"Why..."

Looking at Ran Bing's appearance, Penny couldn't help but sigh.

She also had this feeling, and it was different from Ran Bing's ignorance.

She knew exactly what her state was called.

Can...

"Ran Bing, forget this feeling. Remember, it will only make you more and more painful..."

Eh?

Hearing this, Ran Bing was startled.

pain?

Although sometimes she did feel a little stuck in certain situations.

But that's all, what's more is the indescribable sweetness emanating from my heart.

It makes people intoxicated, makes people fascinated, and makes people want to get more and more without knowing it...

"Why Penny, and from your tone, it sounds like you know what it's called?"

Ran Bing asked.

She has always wanted to figure out what happened to her.

But mood swings are likely to alarm the Light Bearer.

So I kept suppressing it.

Seeing Petunia say this at this time, he was so excited that he grabbed Petunia's hand to get an answer.

"You'd better see for yourself..."

Bending down, Penny pulled out a cardboard box from under the bed and took out a notepad from the bottom.

Rather than talking about this feeling, it is better to feel it yourself.

"this is yours?"

Ran Bing felt a little embarrassed after taking the notebook.

After all, this involves Penny's personal privacy.

"It's okay. As a sister, I don't want you to suffer like me..."

Seeing Penny shaking her head indifferently, Ran Bing also lowered his head and focused his gaze on Ben.

"On January 28th, the fifty-first year of the Lighthouse, what was going on in that guy named Donnie's mind? He almost lost his arm trying to save me. When I was bandaging him, he laughed at my poor fighting skills. It's really Incomprehensible!”

"February 21st, I'm so annoyed. What's going on? Recently, all I can think about is that overbearing guy. He was very close to me when we were having a group meal today. My heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Now as long as I get close to him, my heart will The shadow value will increase..."

"On March 14th, the Lighthouse taught us that as hunters, we must be brave, selfless, and dedicated... But, I am timid, I am afraid, I am afraid that after I die, I will never see you again..."

Page after page, every time he turned to the next page, Ran Bing's eyes became more radiant.

But then the brightness turned dim again.

After ten minutes, close the last page of the notebook.

A drop of crystal tears fell down the corner of Ran Bing's eyes.

"Penny, you and Donnie..."

Didn't expect it, didn't expect it at all.

On weekdays, Penny and Donnie couldn't see anything wrong at all.

Like many hunters, when there is a mission, there is a mission, and when there is training, you train.

Neither close nor far from each other, in a completely normal state.

Can...

"This is a lighthouse. I had no intention of thinking about it, and I tried to pinch out the buds. But when I saw him again, the love in my heart... was resurrected..."

Penny smiled bitterly, looking very helpless.

Intimate relationships between people are not allowed on the lighthouse.

Father and son, brothers, husband and wife...

Under the three laws of survival, these are prohibited.

Looking at Penny's expression, she didn't understand it before, but now Ran Bing can feel the pain in Penny's heart.

The person you like can only look at you like a stranger from a distance, and you don't even have the courage to confess your love.

Now Downey's life and death are unknown because of the search mission.

But she still had to continue to pretend that nothing had happened.

The pain in my heart can't be overstated.

"Ran Bing, although I don't know who you are in love with, forget him. Remembering him will only make you more painful!"

Turning her head away, Penny looked out the window at the sunset.

Even if Donnie lives and returns to the lighthouse.

She didn't have the courage to say anything.

Saying so will not only harm yourself, but also the other party.

The events of the previous Hunter commander and adjutant were still vivid in my mind.

This lighthouse is the last remaining hope for mankind.

But in her opinion, it was just a spiritual cage.

A prison for the soul!

....

After getting the answer he wanted, Ran Bing lost his soul.

Wandering around like a zombie.

She didn't know where she was going, nor where she should go.

That throbbing in my heart, the excitement in my eyes.

The kind of emotion that makes people not get what they want, worry about it, and want to ask for more.

It turns out to be called love.

"Do I dare to love?"

The figure appeared in my mind.

But Ran Bing felt more and more blurred and couldn't grasp it more and more.

More importantly, she didn't know what the other person was thinking.

"If he is like me... No, no, I can't!"

When he thought of this, Ran Bing shook his head vigorously.

He is different from himself.

He has a bright future and is only one step away from reaching the top.

"If I really love him, then I will help him... Does it hurt, Penny, I feel it now..."

Taking a deep breath, Ran Bing raised his head and adjusted his expression.

This must not be known to anyone else, especially him!

"Hunter Ran Bing, this is the battle damage supply department. According to the lighthouse system, you will carry out the breeding mission No. 21460. Please report to the Dawn Hall at nine o'clock tonight..."

Ran Bing's pupils shrank from the sudden sound in the communicator.

His whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and he stumbled and fell under the wall on one side.

"Love... turns out to be such a luxury!"

Ran Bing murmured to himself, his blue eyes dim and dull...
