"I wonder how we haven't crashed yet with your flying!"

"Oh, gee... I wonder what kind of cartographer gets you lost over Russia!"

"I told you! The map I found is outdated and besides the snow outside, I can't see anything else. It was your idea to fly to Russia!"

"Hey Kanazawa, did you know these planes were used by kamikaze pilots in World War 2?"

"What's a 'kamikaze' pilot Ishii?"

"I can show you if you don't shut up and get our headings right!"

Flying an old 'Yokosuka D4Y3' plane they found in an old museum block in the city, Ishii managed to fix it along with Kanazawa's help and took off just hours ago. They were flying over Russia as her dream to finally escape the city was a success. However, for many miles, since they arrived over Russian airspace, they weren't able to find anything down there, just a barren wasteland full of snow.

Back at the huge city by some blind luck, Kanazawa and Ishii found each other on their journey and roamed the layers of the city together looking for food and supplies. Hungry and exhausted they managed to find an old museum of airplanes and just barely any supplies to help them through. Looking at the old airplane designs, Ishii thought that they could both fix one of the sturdier planes and in theory, it should be able to fly again. Her design managed to snap into several pieces and crashed just after takeoff, but these planes looked more conventional and in the past were able to fly. After several months of hard work, Ishii finally managed to fix and even start one of the planes, soon after both of them decided to fly out of the city.

Ishii was finally able to fulfill her dream.

"Hey, I think we are somewhere over 'Komsomolsk', I can see the river and nothing else," Kanazawa replied over his communication helmet as he looked through the map and anything outside to pinpoint their correct positions.

"I really have no idea where we are flying though, but I haven't been this excited for years." Ishii with a wide smile kept her hands on the controls, flying the plane steadily. "However, I think we have to land soon, we don't have much fuel left."

"Oh hey... Ishii! There! Look at your right - do you see that?" Kanazawa spoke to her as he looked through the window scanning the horizon.

"Yes... I think we should land there before we really 'kamikaze' to the ground!"

"Again... what's a kamikaze?" Kanazawa asked her but to no reply. She had her mind focused on carefully landing the plane on the snow.

Just as they landed, she could clearly see what those objects covered in the snow were. About 20 different kinds of plane designs that she had seen before in an aviation book, parked close to each other. These planes belonged to designs from the 21st century. It seems like they were also in another blind luck situation and found an old abandoned airfield, hopefully, there will still be leftover fuel to start the plane again and fly.

Parking close by she turned off the motor and opened the hatch to the cold outside. Covering herself with her jacket she walked out of the plane and turned to Kanazawa who followed right behind her.

"It's so much colder than in the city."

"So... what do we do now? We look for fuel or - ?" Kanazawa asked her as she turned around to scan out their surroundings. Besides the planes, there was nothing else visible in the distance, not even a hangar or any kind of structure. It was all covered in snow as far as the eyes could see.

"These planes really look well preserved, Kanazawa. And they are of more modern design than the old World War 2 machines we found. I'd say these were from the 21st century." Ishii replied as she moved closer to one of the planes.
