The next day, she woke up sleepily near noon, and finally remembered that there had been a group of uninvited guests at her base, and she hurriedly washed up, straightened her messy hair, and went to meet them. Most of them stood up as she stepped into the denied exiles, who looked at her as if she were a living monster, and to her a slight upset, she had done nothing.

"Thank you for your food," said the middle-aged man, who was almost fifty, his short hair was covered with a layer of gray frost, his big eyes were sunken deeply, his dark cheeks were sunken deeply, and the deep wrinkles and folds of his clothes were connected, even so, his voice could make people's hearts tremble slightly, his energy was much more vigorous than his appearance, and the scars on his body were much more complicated than his age.

"I'm Navey. Gale thank you for saving me, and for saving my relatives, friends, and all the members of the Train Gang," he showed the courtesy of a rescued person, and did not despise him too much because he was far older than the other, while the others, some expressed sincere gratitude, some were perfunctory, and the eight dangerous people who cared most to her, they just smiled contemptuously, and then quietly mingled in the crowd, but they were too unkind to hide their strangeness from ordinary people, just as a wild wolf would not hide among the sheep.

They were just a bunch of fugitives I had rescued, they looked so dangerous, so what, Tess was fat and fat, looked cowardly, only interested in food, and always had a warm and sincere smile on his face, but everyone knew that he had always liked to betray his friends. Natalia knew she shouldn't treat the eight people so differently, but she couldn't rest assured, "Keep an eye on these people," she finally whispered to Mother, "don't let them hurt anyone." Mother responded with a track that no one else could perceive, giving her a little peace of mind.

"Where are you going?"

Her question silenced the group, and the middle-aged man briefly explained his origin in a slightly hoarse voice, "We have traveled thousands of miles from the Far East, wandering around by train, just to find a suitable home, you can call us the Train Gang, we have been eating and living in a train for the past two months, which can be considered the base of our poor exile organization. ”

"Trains? Homeland!? Nata lowered her head and pondered every word he said, "Then why did you leave the train?" ”

"The Aurora was in a lot of trouble before passing through this city, and we were looking for the right maintenance tools in Thousand Rivers City, oh, and fuel, we were running out of fuel if we traveled too far, but we didn't expect it," he glanced at the base, and through the sloping windows of the hall, everyone could easily see the towering tower that stood like a silver sword in front of them. He had probably never seen such a wonderful building, so much so that he couldn't stop feeling emotional.

"One of my old subordinates swore that he had never seen this kind of structure in Thousand Rivers thirty years ago, and that there was not a trace of dust in this tower, and that it could have been completed only in the last few years, otherwise it would not be as good as it had been, and they had been discussing it and decided that there were probably people here, and that we must find the tools to repair the Dawn anyway, otherwise we would not be able to go back. “

The Aurora base had its own secrets, but it wasn't her turn to speak, and Natalia just pondered his words in confusion, "You want to go back?" So why are you here? “

"The others are still waiting for us," the middle-aged man sighed, full of complaints, "the environment there is getting worse and worse, the fish of all the nearby small rivers and streams are almost being eaten, the land is hardened, and the radiation around it has been high, miss, we went out on a trip, and the ammunition and fuel consumed have increased exponentially, and we took the "Dawn" to the west, just to find a suitable place for us to live, maybe we will find a suitable place for us here, and the others are also like me, with the idea of finding out. “

His words touched her slightly, but it was the elusive Mr. One who really gave her ideas.

"We can take them in to work for us," he suggested to her in a way that no one else could hear, which made Nata almost think he was some wizard who was proficient in whispering, but fortunately, she understood that this "witchcraft" should be the credit of the mysterious communicator on her wrist, or it could be the credit of "Mother", "and even let their companions come here and provide them with food, hot water, lights, quilts, medicine, and ....... Family...... They seem to need this ..... a lot..."

Family....... Her eyes rolled slightly, Mr. One was right, they were still a group of children, and Mr. Number was a small number, if these people joined, the Dawning Base would definitely be more stable.

It's a big decision, and I hope I'm right, and she prays that Mr. Summer will support her. "We can take you and your companions who are far away from home," she said, raising her head and solemnly announcing to the strangers who have been exiled here, "let you share our food, share our warmth, and accept our protection, the ....... Sir, what do you think of this proposal, as long as you are willing to accept our leadership. ”

She was as thin as a civet cat, but her words were like a thunderclap that threw all the exiles of the Train Gang into a kind of unspeakable suffocation, and her words were enough to provoke a tsunami of them. Soon, they began to whisper, discussing with each other her "advice" that she had easily confided between her mouths, as if they were weighing a nugget of gold that could not be distinguished.

"Leadership? Is she crazy!? Someone muttered, "I don't think she's even eighteen." "Not only that, I don't think she even has her milk hair faded yet." Even Anya and the others were whispering, especially repulsing the decision to take in strangers, and a few of them hated it deeply, fearing that these outsiders would take everything from them. If Mr. One hadn't appeared in time, these people would have been the first to attack Nata.

The gray-haired middle-aged man has a layer of gray eyes that make him look even older, he didn't sleep well last night, so he still occasionally yawns to try to combat fatigue, "We don't like to be restrained." ”

Nata didn't give up easily, "We can pay you, provide a stable job, provide a water source without radiation, provide a steady supply of antibiotics, and ...... here," she pointed to the depths of the hall, "We have a lot of private space to rest, and it is not a problem to accommodate thousands of people, and you said that you don't like to be bound, so I ask you, what are you here on the Aurora?" Is it for the sake of freedom? ”

Her words shook some people, especially women, who hugged their hungry children and cast expectant glances at their broad-backed leader, "freedom" is a luxury, and now, even "survival" is hard enough, what are they still wanting?

"You're too young....... another middle-aged man with an equally serious, thin and sallow face covered with horror burns protested, "I can't take ......."

"Led by a milky little girl?" Brave, Natalia raised her head and looked directly at the middle-aged man, the rotten burn marks on his face were enough to make every little girl cry and scream, but she had been more terrifying than him, she shouldn't be afraid, because she wasn't that little girl anymore, "Thirty years ago, it was you adults who thought you were mature and stable who destroyed this place, or was it a little girl like me who didn't dry up?" ”

Her words made the middle-aged man dumbfounded.

"I'm not the real person in charge of the base, I'm just in charge of everything in the base temporarily, I'm not as shrewd and capable as you think, everything here is not my creation," Natalia raised her finger, and a three-meter-high three-dimensional figure of light particles appeared in the air from her wrist, this godly action made the exiles who were not very stable completely shut their mouths, they held their breath for a while, and the eyes that looked at her were no longer ridicule, but deep vigilance and fear, It was as if they were looking at a witch who was performing witchcraft, and it was good that for the first time she no longer rejected such gazes.

"He's Mr. Summer, he's the leader of the base," Nata solemnly announced to everyone, "he's a truly benevolent and wise person in charge, it's he who brought us out of the underworld, built an above-ground palace here out of thin air, and he gave us the respect, freedom, and joy of fighting for life that we haven't received in the underworld, if you can't understand it, then look at this," Nata gently pressed the button on her wrist, and a document appeared in the air, with dense text and pictures on it, She knew the laws of the base, the regulations, the rights and duties of each member, the food for everyone, the shelter, the interior of the base, and the various weapons against the beasts. Some people simply rely on their mouths to instill everything in people, but she is different, she can at least present the "truth" to them.

"This is the guarantee of all the citizens of the base, and this is what you are after, this is what you want, our leader has created all this, what reason do you have to doubt his wisdom?"

"Let me think," the middle-aged man hesitated, but he beckoned the other exiles to gather around the "floating document."

"I'll give you plenty of time to think about your stay, but don't expect me to wait too long."

Summer would probably blush when you hear her here, but now, here are just a group of displaced fugitives, half of them illiterate born in the ruins, and the rest of the old people have long since blurred their memories of thirty years ago, how can they not be in awe of this method of summoning documents out of thin air.

Soon, they sat around the documents and started discussions, everyone in the group could have their opinions, the adults chattered, the children were full of curiosity, the wounded were drowsy, everything was harmonious, a good start, Natalia swept away the previous haze, and the two sides were not unable to communicate.
