CHAPTER 1
The village must have had a name at some point, but it seemed there was no one left alive who remembered what it had been. Now it was a withered husk of a place, a few ramshackle buildings still standing and the rest just piles of rubble, marked down with a reference number and a set of coordinates in an old survey map that the squad had been issued at their last briefing. They'd been working their way across the map for the last three weeks, crossing off one reference number after another as they went, and this was the last spot on their list.
这个村庄在某些时候一定有个名字,但这里似乎没有人还活着并且记得曾经是什么样子。现在,这里是一个逐渐凋零的地方,一些摇摇欲坠的建筑物仍然矗立着,其余的只是一堆碎石瓦砾。这个地方用一个参考记号和一组坐标标注在一张调查小组在上次的任务简报会议上发布的老旧调查地图上。在过去的三个星期里,他们一直在地图上划掉一条又一条的参考编号,而这个地方是他们列表清单上所记载的最后一个位置。
"Looks quiet to me," Jun said, peering through the scope of her T-99 bolt action at the ruins from half a mile south of the village.
“在我看来这儿实在过于安静了。”君透过99式步枪的枪机上的瞄准镜,凝视着村子以南半英里处的废墟,如此说道。
【注:bolt action为老式非自动步枪的枪机。】
"Isn't that what you said two days ago? Sergeant Josiah said as Jun lowered her rifle.
“两天前你不也是这么说的吗?”约西亚中士回应道。此时,君放下了她手中的步枪。
"Yes, sir." Jun admitted, then spun the cap off her canteen and took a long swig of lukewarm water, gazing north past the ruined village at the looming Alps which crowded the skies beyond.
“是的,长官。”君承认道,然后转身拧开随身水壶的盖子,大口大口得喝了一些温水,同时还时刻凝望着北边那座被毁坏的村庄,在那远处天空下还有那显得十分拥簇且隐约可见的阿尔卑斯山。
"Well..." the sergeant added as he turned to her with a lopsided grin. "Those bastards were pretty quiet,I 'll admit."
“嗯……”中士转过身来,咧嘴一笑,补充道,“我承认,那些**太过于安静了。”
