Chapter Ninety-One: Their Names
As the sun sets, the island is dyed red by the sunset.
In Shen'en Village, a new gathering place after the migration of humans, wisps of white cooking smoke are rising.
A whole day had passed, and after receiving the material aid brought by Sofelle, the open space of the village had been erected with small wooden tents that were very simple, but at least no longer leaky.
As for the central clearing, there are many young children gathered together.
Because of the cold from last night's rainstorm, little Emma, who had a high fever, the girl's figure was also among them, and judging from the girl's ruddy face, it was obvious that the illness had completely subsided.
At this moment, the children are constantly surrounding the fire, boiling and tumbling in a big pot of rice porridge, very excited to go back and forth.
Dinner time is coming.
Even many of the surrounding and adult villagers sniffed hard, as if they wanted to preserve the aroma of food that had not been seen for a long time.
Finally...
The steaming rice porridge was distributed to each villager in turn, and most of them had a look of surprise on their faces when they first saw it.
Because in today's porridge, they can faintly see a few floating shredded meat.
I can't wait to hurry up with a spoonful of the stomach, hot rice grains, mixed with some simple vegetarian dishes and meat foam, everyone's expression shows joy and enjoyment.
Sometimes...
Happiness is as simple as that.
In the other corner of the village, the old camel monster of the old dragon bell was still lying on the ground motionless as always.
In contrast, now on the gathering place, the villagers are in a cheerful atmosphere...
On the back of the camel monster, in Carl's cabin, at this moment, it was a different scene.
"Carl, why didn't you come back?"
The older girl, Nana, looked out of the window of the hut at the island skyline.
Looking at the sunset in mid-air, exuding the last residual warmth, Nana's heart was very anxious.
However, when the girl turned her head and looked at the owner of the cabin, the young Carl, she found that the other party was still busy at the workbench, ignoring her own plans.
"Carl, are you listening to me!"
"You... Don't you worry about Lott at all! He's been taken away by that alien for a whole day! β
Nana puffed out a little angrily.
"Worry, is it useful to worry?"
Carl finally replied to the girl.
But his head still didn't lift from the thing at hand.
I saw that at this time, on the young man's workbench, there were all kinds of vegetation medicinal herbs.
And if Liao Qi was present, he would definitely be surprised to find that these plants were exactly the same sample by-products as the materials he picked out in the morning.
"Don't worry, Lott will be fine, at least that alien human won't make things difficult for him in this way."
"After all, realistically speaking, even if that alien human kills Lott in front of us, we can't do anything about it, do we?"
Carl was talking, but the pen in his hand never stopped.
The boy listed all the medicinal effects of these plants on the workbench, and then grouped them like puzzles.
"Nana, what the hell do you say he's..."
"Why do you want to take so many herbs?"
Carl seemed to ask, and the older girl in the room, likely, was just talking to herself.
"Humph! It doesn't matter! β
Nana was still upset by what the boy had said.
She hated that the other party could maintain such an overly rational and calm appearance on this kind of issue.
"By the way, speaking of..."
The older girl sulked and didn't speak, and there was a slight silence in the cabin, as if to ease the atmosphere, and this time it was Carl's turn to speak.
"That alien human didn't accept Nana's position as the patriarch."
"Hmm... It's a little harder than I thought it would be. β
Karl shook his head and sighed.
"You say... What do you mean? Nana didn't understand Carl's words.
"Because you think, we human beings, in general, are not all creatures who like face very much, and there is a whole village of the same kind at once, to be our own subordinates, this kind of vanity, should be very good, right?"
Carl stopped writing.
Although the boy's tone was still flat, he sighed in the end.
"But even so, that alien human still rejected you, which shows that in his heart, he values real things more than imaginary things."
"And generally, people like this kind of rational more than emotional people are not easy to deceive."
Carl shook his head regretfully.
"It seems that let's use the help of the alien human to curry favor with that alien human, so that he can save face and win the supplies of the blood clan for us, this road will not work..."
"Hey, if only there were more stupid people like Lott in the world."
In the cabin, the older girl, Nana, looked at the complaining teenager, and was about to say something...
Woof...
Barking...
A dog barking suddenly rang out from outside the cabin.
"It's Lulu's voice."
Nana reacted quickly.
But the girl immediately frowned again.
"At this time, do you mean..."
"Well, it looks like it should be, a new coordinate has been passed over."
The boy at the workbench nodded, and Carl's expression suddenly became serious.
Immediately after, soon...
Under the door of the wooden house, a wooden plank that was clearly designed to move back and forth was raised upward, and then a small demonic beast came in from the outside.
"Lulu!"
The older girl, Nana, squatted down and stroked it affectionately, this canine monster could be said to be the "guardian saint" of their Divine Grace Village.
And this monster called "Lulu" also rubbed the girl's hand, and after that, it quickly ran to its owner, that is, the young Carl.
Bang Dang...
Bang Dang...
Next, from the mouth of the demon dog, it took two items from its own mouth and placed them on the workbench.
One of them is a small piece of paper tied to the ground with string.
As for the other one...
It's similar to a seal, as if it's used to prove something.
For the first piece of paper, the girl's face Nana was happy, but when the second seal also appeared...
The girl's expression began to dim rapidly.
"Good work, Lulu."
Carl's expression was flat, and he touched the head of the demon dog, but this demon dog seemed to be able to feel the mood of the owner opposite, and it rubbed Carl's hand as if it was comforting.
Rising and leaving the workbench, Karl went to the other corner of the cabin, and from the drawer, he took out a small wooden box that he could see had been carefully preserved.
Squeak...
With a slight force, the small wooden box was carefully opened, and there were fourteen of them inside, exactly the same as the one on the table.
"Both... It's all our fault, it's... We sent them to their deaths..."
"They, they could, could have live..."
I didn't even look at the sobbing girl.
Carl carefully returned the small wooden box with the certificate seal in place again, and took out a map from another place in the drawer.
"It's time like this, do you still want to say things like that, Nana?"
The boy opened the map, and at the same time, unwrapped the small piece of paper on the table.
γZone 3 No. 13γ
γPeterγ
After taking the information from the piece of paper into his eyes, Karl put it in the oil lamp next to him and burned quietly.
"Do you remember which demon Peter volunteered to go to?"
"Lizard... Lizard. β
"Hmm."
After the girl spoke, Karl put his eyes back on the map, only to see that the map was neatly and accurately divided into several areas, from the inside to the outside, a total of three parts.
Within each block, it is subdivided into several smaller pieces.
The next boy, on the outermost layer, is written with the number "thirteen", and a "X" is drawn and annotated with a lizard.
The same goes for fourteen other similar markings on the map.
And the meandering red lines, avoiding all the "X" marks, go straight to the center of the inner layer of the map!
The next Karl, ruled out one of them, because of the red line that passed through the thirteenth range of the third district.
Turning to put the map away, the boy came to the girl's side, Nana.
Holding on, the girl's shoulders trembled, and Carl's deep voice slowly sounded in Nana's ears.
"At times like these, all we have to do is live up to their sacrifices."
"Don't forget..."
"Their names."
