I read softly the text of the famous Geography of the Bewildered Star. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The planet we live on was renamed 10 years ago: Bewildered Star......

In the year 21xx of the founding era, the natural disaster "Heavenly Beast Heaven" befell the planet that people used to call "Earth" at that time.

With the manifestation of that catastrophe, an unbelievably large black shadow covered everything in the field of vision.

A terrifying storm howled and threatened everything in the earth, unable to stop it even with all its might.

As a result, the world has lost its original appearance.

The source of the disaster spread throughout the western half, and the aftermath even persecuted the eastern half.

The world's natural life has been drastically reduced, and the number of human beings is reduced by one-tenth.

My sister and I live in the Empire, located on the northeastern side of the planet.

Within the Empire, the city we live in has been relentlessly affected by disasters, and the warm civilization has disappeared overnight, replaced by a layer of ruins that hide the city.

Time still passes, the morning sun still rises, the sunset falls as a matter of course, but the illuminated home scene is extremely strange.

My parents weren't around, and my sister and I were helpless.

The Imperial Government sent troops to the cities, and we, the victims, were quickly protected and pacified by the soldiers. With the advent of support such as livelihood items, people's lives have improved.

Yet, we are robbed of our freedom.

Based on proper management, the government has ordered the population to move only in designated areas. Our external access to information is limited and we can only get limited information from the newspapers we receive in the morning rations.

Those shoddy newspapers briefly reported on the repair rate of each disaster area and the resettlement of disaster victims.

The explanation of the natural disaster "Heavenly Beast Heaven" is completely absent.

The people were curious about this, and searched for answers to no avail, so they were confused and anxious.

The uneasiness accumulated for a long time and gradually deepened, turning into a rumor ...... spread.

- Strange things are happening in refugee camps elsewhere.

- The army and the people disappeared after a night.

Rumors like these are confusing.

Most people dismiss it as an "urban legend". It wasn't until two months later, when the legend befell my sister and I in the camp where my sister and I were, that we realized that the story of after-dinner chatter was not false.

The feelings and scenes of that night can still be clearly seen when I close my eyes.

Shock.

…… The throbbing sound of the tarmac road sand rattles the sleeping crowd.

As I was about to go to bed, I heard the noise of footsteps outside the tent.

I hurriedly woke up my sleepy-eyed sister and put my head out of the shed to investigate. In the distance outside the camp, Humvees drove slowly in line with their lights on...... No, I'm not sure if it's a Humvee.

The body swayed with the movement, and from a distance it looked like a pleated skirt was hanging.

I was surprised when the convoy had reached the entrance to the camp.

The whole picture of the car became clear, and I shivered with fear when I saw it.

It turned out that it was indeed not a Humvee, and it was not a pleated skirt hanging on the body.

It was a fat monster with a cracked mouth that had never been seen before.

It looks like a hippopotamus but is even bigger. The part that looks like a pleated skirt is actually a disgusting picture of countless short buttocks that keep squirming.

Alien creatures.

My worldview was completely turned upside down.

Later, I learned that it was a special unit sent by the government to collect "food" and give it to "something". The so-called food is for us in the refugee camp.

Looking back now, the scene of the army fighting against the people was too cruel for me as a child.

Those memories linger and often come back to my mind.

- My sister and I were arrested.

The two men were bound together with sackcloth on their heads and from their wrists to their backs, and they were lined up in the order of the captives. Then, in our blindness, we carry the back of the person in front of us and move with it.

…… It didn't take long for the team to move slowly...... Terrible screams rang out from the front.

The noise of the riot began to sound in my ears, and the impetuousness and fear quickly shocked me.

I was quite flustered, but my eyes were obscured by the burlap bag, and I couldn't tell what was going on.

Suddenly, someone knocked me down, and the cloth cover rubbed against the ground and happened to open a hole. That gave me a glimpse of the noisy world ...... outside.

I saw a soldier cut the throat of a citizen with a bayonet......

The blood drained him and he weakened, and he was thrown into the massive mouth of the hippopotamus troll's lockbox.

One by one, the dying threw themselves into the monster's mouth.

The drooping belly of the hippopotamus troll is swollen as it approaches filling. The trainer patted it on the butt and drove it away, causing it to shake its belly almost to the ground, then summoned the next hippopotamus monster that appeared to be on an empty stomach to take its place, and then ...... it one by one.

"Easy to transport and fresh?" "Yes, it can still be used when transported so far away. I was only seven years old at the time, and I was terrified just to see the indescribable scene in front of me, and I had no time to think about its meaning.

At this time, the next victim stepped forward, and the man had his head covered by a burlap bag...... My sister.

——！

I struggled desperately to break free from the restraint and stepped forward to stop it, and my restless reaction caught the attention of the supervising soldiers.

He walked over, raised the butt of his gun and swung it down, hitting my ...... who couldn't dodge.
