Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

"...We need a place with a signal to transmit the video of the previous interview with your leader back to the news agency. I wonder if you can take us there?"

"The signal base stations in most places in the capital of Kelna have been destroyed by those who disrupt the peace. You can wait until you leave Kelna and take them back directly."

"Our interview vehicle has broken down, and we can't guarantee how long the camera and the content stored in it can continue to be saved. We can only send it back first."

"……Hold on."

Mo Dao and the two stepped out of the branch yard again.

Outside the courtyard gate, the armed men who were leaning together and saying something consciously moved towards Mo Dao and the two of them.

After Mo Dao exchanged a few words with these armed men,

One of the armed men hesitated for a moment, then walked away, seemingly reporting to someone through some communication device.

"...come with us."

After the armed man came back, he said something to Mo Dao and the other two.

Then he led Mo Dao and the two of them towards a place ahead.

The remaining armed men around them also followed up, and surrounded Mo Dao and the two of them.

The look wasn't evil, but it definitely wasn't friendly.

More of a similar alertness.

Mo Dao has seen this kind of gaze many times in this land.

This is actually more of a precaution against everything else around you.

Of course, in the eyes of these armed men, there is still some aggression.

It was unclear whether Mo Dao and the others would shoot at Mo Dao and the other two if they suddenly quickened their pace at this time.

In this almost semi-surrounded state,

Mo Dao and the two were taken to a building on a street far away from the branch yard.

An armed man gave Mo Dao a laptop with a network cable plugged in, indicating that Mo Dao could do what he wanted to do.

But neither this armed man nor the armed man who had brought Mo Dao left left. They stood behind Mo Dao and watched.

Mo Dao didn't say much.

Naturally and normally, I took over the computer and logged into my email.

The video of the previous exclusive interview with the opposition leader Walpole and the video of the previous attack on the way back to the Kerner branch were sent back.

During the entire process, the several armed men surrounding Mo Dao did not say a word or stop him.

It wasn't until Mo Dao stood up again that he asked,

"Is there anything else?"

"We need to do some filming and reporting in the capital of Kerna."

"certainly."

Mo Dao and the two of them left the house, still surrounded by several armed men.

Then, Mo Dao and the two did not choose to return to the branch.

Instead, he held the camera and left the street in the branch yard again.

Several armed men did not stop the actions of Mo Dao and the others, but they followed closely beside Mo Dao and the two of them, watching as Mo Dao and the two took pictures and reported some scenes in Kelna City.

And when Mo Dao and the two tried to enter certain streets,

These armed men would immediately step forward and say to Mo Dao and the others,

A few streets ahead, there are still resistance forces in this area that have not been cleared.

To avoid putting their safety at risk, ask them not to come any closer.

That is to say,

Under the protection of these armed men, Mo Dao and the others could only take pictures of what the Kerna opposition wanted to show them.

One can only report on the scene in the capital of Krna that the opposition in Krna wants to report.

All afternoon,

The two of them only photographed some of the post-war ruins of the Kerna capital, and the armed pickup trucks of the Kerna rebels were patrolling.

As well as some shell craters and the occasional Kerna civilian passing through the streets.

Although gunshots can be heard from time to time in Kerna City, and even not far away,

But due to the 'protection', Mo Dao and the two couldn't get close.

"Can we know if Carlson, the former leader of the government forces, has a grave? Can we go and see it?"

In the evening, after walking around in a circle, Mo Dao and the two began to return to the branch office.

Mo Dao was communicating with the armed men next to him.

"... Carlson was punished as he deserved, and he has no grave. If you want to witness the trophies we took from him, we can take you to see it."

Mo Dao shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, I changed the question,

"We have been smelling a rather unpleasant burning smell. I wonder where it comes from?"

"...In the previous war, many people died in the capital of Kerna, including our comrades. In order to avoid the plague, we had to do some burning."

The armed man was talking, holding a gun, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Mo Dao glanced at the opposition soldier and said nothing more.

"...After the war is over, do you want to do something?"

"Are you interviewing me?"

"Yes."

Mo Dao nodded,

The soldier looked directly at Mo Dao, his eyes showing some confusion for the first time.

"...I only know how to kill people."

said the opposition soldier.

"What about before? Before the war started?"

"...There's always been a war in Kellner."

The soldier's eyes were a little complicated. After a pause, he replied,

"...I once wanted to play football, or...be a football coach?"

"But right now...I don't want to teach another person how to kill."

After the soldier finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Because of the geographical environment, the opposition forces and government forces in Kerna

They all like to wear cloth masks to protect themselves from sand and dust and to cover their faces.

At this moment, the soldier's eyes were only exposed, showing many emotions.

After Mo Dao finished communicating with the soldier,

Then he looked at another one of the several armed men who had been following Mo Dao.

This was the oldest of the several armed men. He looked like he might be in his forties or even his fifties.

He was also the one who cared least about the two guards, Mo Dao.

"...I don't understand English very well."

After Mo Dao looked over, the middle-aged armed man said this to himself,

But after a pause, he said directly in Kerna language,

"I'm a farmer in the south of Kerna and I want to go back to farming."

"But can it still be done? Kerner's war will never end."

After the middle-aged opposition soldier said these two sentences, other opposition soldiers looked at him.

But he did not stop speaking, but said in a very sad tone,

"Boy, we killed a lot of people...and we didn't solve any problems. The Kerna people got nothing..."

The editor-in-chief translated the middle-aged opposition soldier's words to Mo Dao in a low voice.

"boom……"

Just then,

In the distance, there seemed to be another violent explosion just a few hundred meters away.

Another explosion occurred in the capital of Kerna.

Mo Dao turned his head to look, and the opposition soldiers also turned to look.

"I wonder if we can go there?"

Mo Dao asked.

"no."

The leading armed man shook his head and refused.

"To ensure your safety, you cannot go there until the matter over there is over. Otherwise we cannot guarantee your safety."

Mo Dao glanced at the several armed men around him.

Didn't say much.

Mo Dao and the two of them didn't make any violent reaction.

Because that obviously means nothing.

nodded.

Just after the explosion, Mo Dao and the two returned to the Kelna branch under the protection of these armed men.

…

"Editor-in-Chief, let's go."

In the branch, it was quiet for a while, and Mo Dao stood up again and said.

"Leaving the capital of Kerna?"

"Um."

In the current situation, they were unable to conduct any actual reporting within the capital of Kelna.

In this case, leave the capital of Kerna briefly.

"Then come back."

Mo Dao said one more thing.
