"Trist, I'...... We would all like to ask you to come with us to the training ground......"

After yesterday's meeting, the Red Maple Tribe was officially divided, Elder Lake took the clansmen who supported him and despaired of the prospect to the Guanghu Tribe, and the remaining more than a thousand warriors, more than 700 people left with their families to follow Elder Lake, and the Red Maple Tribe suddenly fell into a dilemma. The remaining warriors, as well as the young strong, and some wanderers who were attached to the Red Maple Tribe, were busy cleaning up the ruins and collecting the deceased.

The camps in several villages to the north had already completed the work early under Trist's busy work. It seems that due to the migration of Elder Lake, and it seems that they are angry that the leader of the northern village, Luther, has been pushed out of the center of power, their hero Trist has been suppressed, and the previous Red Maple tribe higher-ups have placed their camp north of the Chengguang River, causing them to be attacked by the Ice Nation first, so they consciously or unintentionally refuse to help their fellow people in the Red Maple Great Plains. The young men of them gathered next to the raccoon forest to begin their training, according to tribal tradition, but without the guidance of veteran warriors, the children naturally thought of the young but prestigious Triste......

"I'll go too!" With a burst of reckless and messy footsteps, little Alex put down the half-washed bowl, walked over, and said excitedly, "I'll go too!" I'll go too! ”

Vivien was furious when she saw this straightforward face, "You first pass the warrior assessment and be allowed to participate in the hunt!" ”

The so-called assessment, which is almost running with weights, shooting, and throwing javelins, due to Alex Jr.'s earth-shaking archery skills, nine of the ten arrows missed the target, and the remaining one arrow hit the bull's-eye, which can hit someone else's target...... In short, it is difficult to put into words, and Father Luther's right knee still aches faintly. Little Alex was unsurprisingly defeated, which meant that he couldn't train with his beloved Vivien, which made him sad for a long time, and he was beaten up by Daddy Luther......

"Hiccup~~", little Alex just wanted to speak, but he burped again, and complained to Triste, "Triste has to blame you, you cooked it so deliciously, the oysters and jerky you added to the porridge, mushrooms, and your roasted purple sweet potato...... I ate almost two servings! ”

Trist turned his head and rolled his eyes, "Of course you ate two people's servings!" In fact, when Vivian came to visit, Trist added a handful of water, and added some ingredients such as mushrooms and dried meat to the porridge according to the practice of preserved egg and lean porridge in the previous life, and then cut some oysters and put them in the porridge to improve the freshness...... He wanted to add a meal to Vivian, but who knew that after the bear child in front of him finished eating, he picked up the portion he had just prepared for Vivian and continued to eat......

"Humph!" Vivien's face was flushed with anger from little Alex, and after she hurriedly said goodbye to Trist and Luthel at the door, she left the house in a huff.

Trist touched his nose with some embarrassment.

"Young, it's so good to ......," Luthel tapped his pipe on the stone pier next to him, and said with some recollection, "I think at the beginning, your Aunt Su Man took the initiative to chase me........ At that time, with the exception of Frus, a well-limbed, simple-minded fool, I was the most powerful warrior of the younger generation of the Red Maple Tribe....... Su Man is also the pearl of the entire Red Maple Tribe, hehe, she finally chose ......"

Just thinking of his deceased wife's voice and smile, a trace of gloom flashed in Luther's eyes, "It's a pity ......"

"I still remember the first few days when I got lost and walked out of the forest, Aunt Suman invited me to your house for dinner......", Trist remembered the warm and generous woman, sighed, sat down next to Luther, and said slowly, "May we meet again, may we meet again in the next life." ”

"Is this a proverb from your hometown?" , little Alex came over and spoiled the atmosphere perfectly........

Trist was in no mood to pay attention for a while, "I'll go to the training ground to look at the .......", and left in a hurry. It didn't take long for him to hear Alex's screaming of being beaten, after all, the one-legged elder Luthel had a better face, and it was not convenient to teach the bear child a lesson in front of him....... Raise your head, a new day turns the page, well, another sunny day.

。。。。。。

The ark continued to follow a pitch-black track.

The six councillors, as well as the heads of various departments, Dr. Sinclair of the General Control Office, Pike, the Superintendent of the Agricultural District, Diana, the new Superintendent of the Living Precinct, Kane, the Superintendent of Guards, and Abby, the Medical Superintendent, all of the leaders of the Ark, entered the conference room and took their seats.

"In order to maintain the supply of 4,000 people, the filter chamber has been overloaded. And, to make matters worse, the main part of the filter chamber continues to wear out, which was exacerbated by the shock caused by the solar storm eight months ago, and we ...... We don't have replacement parts...... Unless it is reduced to 50% of the current level, the overloaded filter chamber will continue to wear out, but once the power is reduced, the air quality in the ark will deteriorate instantaneously, and our people will not be able to stand it...... At present, it is reduced to 90% according to your request, and it is only a slow death...... And the excuse of the filter cabin overhaul has been used for four months, and there will always be people who will notice......"

The words of his friend Jack echoed in his ears again, and Judge Ahab Thelonis stepped up to the podium and organized the language.

"Fellow citizens, ......," he began, in the normal order of his speeches, but Ahab noticed that Diana, the former judge at the table and the new superintendent of the living quarters, raised her hand and seemed to have something to say.

Ahab frowned imperceptibly, but his years of being a leader made him stop his speech, "Lady Diana seems to have something to say, please!" ”

"Your Excellency, with the authority which the people of the Ark have given me, I hereby question you, that you have decreed in your own right that, from this month, the relatives of the young prisoners may be allowed to visit them once a month. This contradicts the daily regulations of the Ark, and my people and I need a reasonable explanation for this matter......", except for the Ark Convention, which requires a vote of all the people of the Ark, the rest of the day-to-day regulations can be changed by the agreement of the judges and the council, strictly speaking, Ahab did not ask for the consent of the councillors. Diana shook her fists, her face full of righteous indignation, and her words were nothing more than Ahab's violation of the rules, without the consent of the council, and the suspicion of dictatorship.

Of course, the deeper reason is that this decree was promoted by Diana herself more than ten years ago. Because of the overpopulation and lack of materials, 20 years ago, on the basis of reinstating the death penalty, implemented strict population control, that is, the one-child policy, and listed overbirth as a crime. At first, this was resisted by many people, especially low-level technicians. Distrust of the top has almost turned into turmoil. Until Diana, a girl who was a technician at the time, reported and executed her sister who was secretly pregnant with her second child. At the same time, she moved everyone with her low-level background, deep understanding of righteousness, and eloquent speeches, successfully eliminated the crisis of riots in the engineering area, and became the youngest councillor in the history of the Ark, and became the 14th judge of the Ark 10 years ago, and at the same time, she pushed for strict population control regulations, including the prohibition of visits by incarcerated young prisoners. Therefore, Diana, who had always wanted to run for the next judge, instinctively suspected that Ahab was targeting herself and attacking her prestige.

Ahab ignored it, his gray beard shaking, and he spoke slowly, "What Lady Diana said is true. There was a burst of discussion in the audience, and Ahab patted the iron table, "Everyone, don't be impatient, that's why I invited everyone to come over for this meeting......"
