The town of Rum under the setting sun is stretched to a particularly slender shadow on the ground. As a populating area in the southern region of the Gamma Empire, it was famous throughout the empire for its delicious rum brewing.

Countless merchants would go to Rumtown and transport as many towns as possible to the rest of the Gamma Empire in order to obtain extremely high profit value.

Because of the prosperity of business, the flow of people in the whole town is extraordinary, and the setting sun only represents another lively night scene of the town, which is about to debut.

In the whole town of Rum, there is such an area, because of its remote location, it is used as a garbage disposal site for the whole town. A large amount of domestic and production garbage will be piled up here every day, and over time, a "garbage mountain" composed of garbage and waste will be formed.

On weekdays, this garbage mountain is almost devoid of any townspeople, except for the staff who deliver the garbage. Occasionally, a homeless person passing by will not be able to stand this dirty environment, and he will leave in a hurry after not staying for long.

But just as the night was about to fall, the interior of the "garbage mountain" was a different lively scene......

"Carl, it's getting dark! We have to hurry up and go back, or the dean will catch us and punish us again, and we will not be given dinner!" ”

A girl with short dark green hair and a white linen dress shouted at the boy in front of her, who was constantly rummaging through clutter.

"Got it! Got it! ”

The boy called Carl impatiently put down the items in his hand, and after rummaging through the "garbage mountain" for so long, he didn't find anything useful, which made his heart very unhappy.

I wanted to vent, but Carl didn't dare to be angry with Sophia who had just reminded him, and there was a default rule in their group: that is, it was better to provoke Carl than provoke the angry Sophia.

Looking up at the sky that was almost dark, Carl shouted to the side, "Arthur! Send a signal, that's all for today, go back to the orphanage first! ”

Arthur, who was also working hard in the garbage heap, heard Carl's shout, touched the sweat on his forehead with his dirty right hand, and then whistled loudly from his mouth.

In the quiet "garbage mountain", whistles drifted around, and after a while, six other figures arrived from different directions.

Carl first glanced at the people who arrived behind him and made sure that everyone was there, and then he was relieved.

Although the "garbage mountain" is secluded and uninhabited, it is a slightly large area, and if you are not careful, you can get lost in a maze of garbage. Sometimes, picking up items can cause garbage to fall from high places, instantly burying people alive in them.

As the leader of this group of children, since Carl dared to take them to this "garbage mountain" to dig treasures, he naturally had to bring them back to the orphanage one by one.

For this group of 15 or 6-year-olds, the "garbage mountain" is a very dangerous area, but all residents of the town of Rum strictly prohibit their children from approaching this "garbage mountain".

There are even threatening words such as "If you don't obey again, I'll throw you into the garbage mountain", which will not be mentioned again.

Only Carl's group of children is different, since they were sensible, they have lived in the only orphanage in Rum Town, and the "garbage mountain" that the residents of Rum Town regarded as a forbidden place has become Carl's precious back garden.

The back garden is too important for Carl.

The children in this orphanage were different from the rest of the children in Rumtown, they did not have the love of their parents, they did not have good quality toys, and they did not have good educational conditions.

What they have is only the cherishment of each other, and the different childhood that the back garden gives them.

The orphanage gave Carl only three meals a day to solve their food and clothing problems. But what kid doesn't want to snack? What kid wouldn't want to wear new clothes? What kid wouldn't want to have a beloved toy?

The only source of income for the young Carl and his family was to search for some well-preserved scrap products in the back garden, and then transfer them to the merchants in Rum Town at a very low price, so that they could make new goods.

That's why Carl is a little irritable today because he hasn't found anything.

"Did you all find something useful?" Carl didn't find it himself, and he still had a glimmer of hope for the other children.

It's a pity that after hearing Carl's inquiry, the seven children who came behind all shook their heads with dirty faces.

Carl sighed helplessly, beckoned, and asked everyone to follow him home.

"Brother Karl! Big Brother Carl! A thin, thin boy with orange hair, dressed in a shabby gray cloth coat, ran behind Carl.

Karl raised his eyebrows, wiped the dirt from the latter's face with his hand with a smile, and asked:

"Ron? What's wrong? If we don't go back, the dean really won't give us dinner! ”

"Hahaha, little devil Ron, are you hungry, ask Brother Carl for candy!" Joel, who had always been good friends with Ron, sneered not far away.

Ron, who was being ridiculed, blushed suddenly, whispered "It's not", and then looked at Carl with reverence.

"Brother Carl, today I rummaged through the debris and found a group of soldiers outside the back garden!" Ron is relatively small and relatively flexible, which is also an advantage for him to easily climb to the top of the garbage mountain.

Carl snorted in surprise, soldier?

Glancing back, Carl asked, "Tom, Jerry, you two brothers are in charge of the same area as Ron today, have you noticed?" ”

Tom and Jerry are the few biological brothers in the group, and they were abandoned by their parents from birth and sent to an orphanage in Rumtown.

Tom and Jerry nodded, and although the two of them didn't have Ron's ability to climb to the top of the garbage mountain, they had slightly ascended to a high point and saw a large number of people in military uniforms, gathering on the outskirts of the "garbage mountain".

Carl looked at Vivien, who was left unspoken, a very cute-looking little girl with a doll-like face, and Chris, who had been silent, a boy with brown skin with dreadlocks.

Both of them shook their heads, and in their area of responsibility, no anomalies were found.

"That's weird...... Why did this group of military masters, who are usually responsible for public security, have the spare time to come to the 'garbage mountain' today? Karl thought in his heart, and the group of them was about to approach the exit and meet the group of military masters!
