Chapter 78: Men’s Responsibility

As soon as he walked out of the room, Lynn saw a new face in the hotel corridor looking for a place to live, and was a little grateful for his decisive decision. Unfortunately, it was not far from the time to be happy. He quickly went downstairs, with golden sun shining on the street, but every face here seemed so sad and anxious.

After finding a soldier nearby to ask about the location of Kyle Hotel, Lynn couldn't help but walk quickly. After walking two street intersections, he suddenly heard a hoarse and deep voice:

"Hey, my friend, are there any license plates that can enter the waiting area? Are there any license plates that can enter the waiting area of ​​the dock as soon as possible? I have bread, gold and silver products and watches here to exchange!"

He turned his head curiously and saw a thin man wrapped in a black windbreaker standing on the corner of the street to ask others. Because he wore a black hat with a round edge, Lynn thought he was a Gestapo at first glance, but he looked haggard and thin, and he didn't have the ruthlessness of a secret policeman in his eyes, but a kind of cunning to make a living.

It should have been felt by Lynn's gaze. The man suddenly turned around and saw the SS soldier with an assault rifle staring at him. He was not afraid, but asked timidly: "Hey, soldier, do you have a license plate to board the ship as soon as possible? If it is today, I will buy two pounds of black bread!"

"What if I want to buy it?" Lynn's pronunciation was not very accurate. Fortunately, with the current situation, ordinary civilians are still unable to take care of themselves, so where can they be wary of Soviet spies?

The man hesitated a little, then took a step closer and whispered: "One kilogram of black bread, if there is gold, silver, watches, jewelry, etc., look at the price!"

Lynn just half guessed and understood what he meant, so he simply asked his most concerned questions: "Then how many license plates do you have to enter the dock area immediately?"

The man still looked a little wary, and he said in a negotiating tone: "No today's for the time being, but if you are sure you need it, I can help you pay attention to what you line up until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

Lynn shook his head silently. Even if the war scalper really has a license plate in his hand, he doesn't have any valuable things to exchange for. Guns? Look at how this guy looks, don't dare to ask for it!

"Hey, soldier, if you really want it, you can talk about it..."

The words said by the thin man later reminded Lin En of the vegetable seller in the vegetable market.

Continue moving along the streets that are heading east and west, thinking that "Konisburg" will no longer exist in the near future, my heart suddenly became gray again.

"Kyle Hotel? Well! That's it!"

Looking along the arms of the National Defense Army soldiers, Lynn saw a semi-collapsed dome building. Although it was devastated, from its scale and remaining parts, you can still imagine its former grandeur and grandeur. The two-letter sign above the gate, together with the soldiers entering and leaving, were telling him: This is where you are looking for.

Until then, Lin Neng left the hotel where the White Goatbeard family was temporarily in for about forty minutes. He didn't feel very tired, nor was he particularly worried about the concerns between Alice and Little Kacili, but was confused and nervous about the road ahead: If, as the officer on the defense line said, he had obtained priority boarding opportunities with his military status and returning to the team, but he could not bring the White Goatbeard family with him, how should he make a decision?

He sighed deeply, straightened his back and stepped forward with the assault rifle...

Twenty minutes later, Lynn, who walked out of Kyle Hotel, looked up at the sky. The blue sky was dyed with a faint orange color due to the bright light of the setting sun. It was the direction of heaven, very far away from himself.

I reached into my right hand and touched the cold sheet metal. The workmanship was naturally not as exquisite as the medal, but it was much more refined than the ordinary license plates received by civilians.

be terribly upset!

He lowered his head and had continuous collisions with pedestrians along the way, but Lin En just said "sorry".

There is a famous saying in Daoming Temple: If an apology is useful, what else do the police do?

Lin En had no time to care about the eyes of others. He carefully considered a very realistic problem: this specially made boarding license only allows those with soldier status to board the ship alone. As long as he turns north, he will be able to enter the dock waiting area soon. If he goes well, he will be able to leave here on the same day. If he pats his butt and leaves, of course the White Goatee family will not do anything. But ask yourself, how can a person with a conscience do such a thing?

The warm pictures along the way are vivid in my mind.

From the perspective of a young woman, overnight warmth is obviously not just a physiological need for the opposite sex.

Lynn dared not imagine how heavy the detachment would have caused to Little Kassili, and his innocent soul might collapse.

Even the white goatee who is always calm will be extremely sad when facing the ugly human nature!

Between going and staying, Lin En resolutely made a choice.

On the other hand, from the officer who had just arranged for his boarding, he heard that the Soviet troops who were bypassing East Prussia to attack Germany had crossed the Odd River, and the 11th SS Voluntary Armored Grenadier Division, which was his "Northern" division, was building defenses not far from the Port of Stocking. Judging from the situation, it would soon exchange fire with the Soviet army.

The officer also said that one of the three ships currently sailing from Konisburg was to Stettin, which only takes one day to the middle of the journey. The rest will go on a longer trip to the ports in northern Germany and Denmark, which has not been occupied by the British and American allies who attacked Germany, but with the arrival of a large number of refugees evacuated from the Eastern Front, there was a serious shortage of food and even insufficient houses for refugees to stay.

As he walked, Lynn came to the previous intersection again. The thin man was still buying and selling boarding license plates from the refugees passing by - at some point, this small card was enough to determine the fate of a family.

With a complicated mood, Lynn walked over: "Hey, you!"

"Man, you have what you are today..." When the thin man realized that the guy in front of him had inquired about the price not long ago, he stopped talking, but his eyes were blinking and looking at the other person again.

"How much is this?" Lynn pulled out a silver-gray metal piece from his pocket.

The thin man did not show any signs of illumination. He did not dare to reach out to grab it, but lowered his head and leaned closer to Lin Neng's palm and studied it carefully.

"This is your SS's privileged license plate. You can enter the dock area and wait at any time. You can get on the boat to the destination at any time!"

"How much is it worth?" Lynn was not interested in its ins and outs.

The thin man straightened up: "For civilians, it is worthless because only soldiers can use it!"

Lynn tried his best to wait for his later words.

"The soldiers are not willing to buy the priority number plate, but..." The thin man thought for a while, and the next half sentence turned into a price: "Half a pound of black bread!"

In the past, because of celebrity concerts and train rides during winter vacation, Lin En locked his hand and said coldly: "Then forget it!"

The thin man obviously did not expect Lynn to react like this. It was not until the SS soldier took a few steps that he spoke out "ah".

Lynn didn't look back, just slowed down a little.

The thin man indeed caught up: "Hey, man, although this thing is not as useful as the license plate of the day, fortunately there is no deadline, so you can get it at any time. Let's do it! Half a pound of black bread and a good sterling silver cigarette box!"

"Those soldiers who want to return home as soon as possible have valuable spoils!" Lin Neng replied deliberately in a cold and hard tone.

"Do you want a watch or something?" asked the skinny man tentatively.

Lynn stopped: "I only have food and three civilian license plates that can board the ship as soon as possible!"

The thin man thought about it: "A piece of black bread, three 228 license plates - I guess you can enter the dock area in three days!"
