Section 38 Empty bases

The thirty-eighth day into the eternal world.

Early in the morning, Wilson was facing the morning sun, and he arrived home.

The first to spot Wilson was Weiss, who was sitting on the grass not far from the base, and he noticed Wilson and Walter, although he couldn't speak, he happily popped a balloon, made a "bang" sound, and ran up to hug Wilson.

Wilson was also delighted, "Yes, yes, it's me, I'm back, brother!" He got rid of Weis, who was haunting him, "What about the others, are they all there?" ”

Vis waved his hand and pointed to the base. Haha, Wilson was so happy that he shouted, "Willow! Grandma! I am back! ”

Walter couldn't wait, "Grep poof, little Webb!" "They ran to the base, and Weiss chased them.

"Willow! Willow! Willow? Grandma? "Strange, why is there no one? Wilson stopped.

Walter slipped into the tent, but quickly came out again, "You're lying, Webb isn't here!" ”

What's going on? Wilson was unknown, why was everyone not at the base, no matter what, the grandmother would definitely not leave, could there be any accident? Or - they have found a way to escape from this world, and while they are away, everyone has long been - impossible! Even then, they will take Vess, and their friends will never abandon them.

Just when Wilson was in a hurry, Chef Wally returned, and he was surprised by Wilson's appearance.

Wilson hugged Wally: "Great! I thought you weren't here! He almost cried, "What about the others, what about the grandmother, what happened?" ”

Wally patted Wilson on the back, "We thought you and the droid were dead outside, but - what about a fish-man, WX-78?" ”

"What?!" Wilson was taken aback, "The robot didn't come back?" "No, no! He and Walter didn't see WX-78 when they walked across the prairie, they had been separated for so long, the robot couldn't have stayed in the prairie all the time waiting for him, he wouldn't have any accidents, right? Wilson's mood suddenly fell, and the robot led away the hounds for himself, and if he was killed by this, Wilson would definitely live in guilt.

Wilson recounts his experiences over the past few days, including the giant hive, being chased by hounds, running away from the robots, entering the swamp, meeting Walter, the annoying "carrot", friends in the desert, and finally the little fish-man to join.

Wally listened quietly to Wilson's story, and he answered in the affirmative: the robot WX-78 did not return.

Walter asks where Webb is, and Wilson is busy, eager to know where everyone has gone. The chef took out the food from the box for Wilson and the little fishman, and Wilson filled his stomach a little with a hint of eagerness. While he was eating, Wilson looked at "our" base: the tent showed signs of restoration, as if it had been destroyed; The stone fire pit he had built with his own hands was also expanded, and the cooking pot next to it was missing; The big tree that once sheltered Willow from the wind and rain seems to have been cut down as well, so it stands to reason that there is no need to cut this tree to ask for wood, right?

Something is wrong, it is not an exaggeration to describe the base as "a mess", the big trees, cooking pots, awnings, and boxes are all destroyed, although they have been sorted out, but it is obvious that something must have happened to the base, is this the reason why everyone is not there?

Chef Wally sat on the trunk of a tree and sighed, "During your absence, many sad things have happened, and we have been waiting for you to come back. ”

"What's wrong, what's going on?" Wilson's heart sank, and Wally was about to say something to him, and he sat down across from the chef, a pit of ashes between them. Walter went to play with Ves, and the little fishman must be able to play with anyone.

"Wegford." Wally paused, "Wigford is dead. ”
