Chapter 742: Pain

Not only their family, but the entire Miller people in Bishui Bay are facing a huge existential crisis.

With no food or drinking water, they had to defend themselves against the Imperial Marines who came to loot from time to time.

The population of Bishui Bay has plummeted almost geometrically.

Now that hunger is everywhere, no one knows if they will live until tomorrow.

Eve really couldn't hold on anymore, whether it was physical or psychological, as long as there was a little accident, it could be the last straw that crushed her.

The two youngest children sitting at the table looked in horror at the arguing elder sister and their father.

At a young age, they experienced the fear of imminent death.

Captain Mike clutched his head in pain, and a suppressed voice overflowed from the crook of his arm:

"The patriarch said that this planet has been bought by private individuals and is now not under the jurisdiction of the state."

It means that the state threw away their hot potato.

Eve's eyes widened when she heard this, her body went limp, and she sat down on the stool: "Private?!" ”

There was despair in her eyes:

"Isn't that pushing us to our deaths? The private individuals do not have any armed material support, and the sailors of the empire are here, and they can only die with us! ”

The country has a strong army, sophisticated weapons and a strong economy.

No matter how powerful an individual is, it can't compare to the concentration of a country.

And the people who bought this planet don't know if they will be protected.

After all, the M-700 is a fire pit, and whoever comes will have to provoke a bag, and maybe their lives will not be guaranteed.

Although the two children couldn't understand it, they also heard the meaning of "there is no way to live" from the tone of the adults, and they cried in horror for a while.

Eve quickly covered her brother and sister's mouth, and said, "Don't cry!" ”

Now that the fresh water at home is running out, it is easy to become dehydrated if you cry too much, and they will die faster.

Eve is unwilling to give up, even if there is no glimmer of hope in front of her, she will take her younger siblings to try to the death!

The two children were suddenly stopped from tears by the eldest sister's fierceness, and they sobbed pitifully.

"Sister, sister, fish, fish soup is going to be cold...... "Connie said cautiously like a mosquito.

The steaming fish soup on the table seemed to have been squeezed by the cold air around it, and it had become only a little warm.

The planet M-700 in November has entered a cold winter, and it is getting colder and colder every day.

It is estimated that in a few months, more people will die of freezing than starvation.

Eve pushed the fish soup in front of the old father without saying anything, bit her lip and said:

"Dad, you drink, if you fall, my younger brothers and sisters and I won't be able to survive, don't worry about them, Connie and Edie ate the melon and ginger peel sent by Brother Ajing at noon."

Captain Mike was silent for two seconds, which seemed to be infinitely extended, making him grow old in an instant.

Without saying a word, he picked up the fish soup and swallowed it into his stomach with great preciousness.

Every bite seemed to be mixed with his flesh and blood, and he couldn't help but cry.

Relieved to see that her father had finally drunk, Eve took the basin and poured the remaining bones into a small bowl.

Then mash the fish bones into powder and prepare to eat them again the next day with melon and ginger peel.

It's just, after eating the next meal... And they were completely cut off.

Captain Mack returned to his room exhausted, lying on the hay-stacked bed, looking out at the wind-soaked roof.

I felt that my body was getting heavier and heavier, and my consciousness began to become a little unclear.

He remembered that his virtuous wife, the woman who had bore him four children, was now gone.

When she left, she didn't even have a clean coat, and her whole body was so hungry that she could barely see her original appearance.

Mike felt that he was so incompetent that he would not have the face to go underground to see his wife even if he died.

He did not take good care of his children, leaving them to suffer from hunger and cold, and to live in fear every day.

Thinking about it, Mike's consciousness became weaker and weaker, and at the last moment of his coma, all he had left was a crumbling roof.

He wanted to open his mouth to tell his eldest daughter to let her hurry up and take her younger siblings out, the wind on the beach was coming, and if she didn't go out, the house would collapse!

However, no matter how hard he tried, he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth......

Eve put away the dishes and chopsticks, and after coaxing her younger siblings to bed, she glanced at the dark sky outside the window.

Rainy days are very frequent in Bishui Bay, and strong winds are frequented.

But Eve was not an experienced captain, she had hardly been to sea, and she was not so sensitive to the weather.

But maybe it was her sixth sense, she instinctively felt that something was wrong that day, and she was panicked.

So she opened her father's door and wanted to ask his experienced father if they needed to move again.

In the past two months, they have moved six times to escape the Empire's sailors and find food and water.

However, no matter how much Eve pushed her father, the father remained silent and did not make the slightest movement.

She panicked, and trembled to test her father's snort, and found that there was no warm breath left......

Eve's face suddenly turned pale, and she sat down on the ground, and her internal organs were cramped at this moment.

The heart-rending pain made her unable to even shed tears, only her emaciated body convulsed and spasmed.

I don't know how long it took, but she burst a rusty monotone from her throat, mingled with the roaring storm outside the window, and threw herself on the old father's corpse and wept bitterly.

"Sister, sister......" Connie stood barefoot in horror in the doorway.

Eve, who heard the voice, turned her head abruptly, and reason instantly prevailed.

No, she can't fall, she still has younger siblings!

Eve quickly put the quilt over her father's head, then turned and took her sister into her arms.

"What's wrong with my sister and father?"

Eve shook her throat and tried to comfort her sister: "It's okay, it's okay, Daddy is just too tired, he wants to sleep for a while, let's not quarrel with him." ”

Connie nodded weakly, raised her little red hand, and wiped away the tears on her sister's face.

"Sister, don't cry, I'll eat less in the future, so that Dad won't have to work so hard."

Eve couldn't hold back any longer, hugged her sister and trembled and sobbed.

"Eve!! Come out!! Hurry up! ”

An anxious male voice came in from outside the house, and Eve heard the sound of breaking down the door.

Ah Jing's face was covered with rain, and his whole body was wet, and he saw the two sisters squatting on the ground and embracing each other.

Without saying a word, the two of them rushed out of the crumbling grass and wood house together on their shoulders.

Only then did Eve realize that the house was about to collapse!

Her pupils shrank, and she struggled to jump off Ah Jing, shouting:

"Edie!! Edie is still inside! ”

Ah Jing put down the two of them, and rushed in again, hugging Edie, who was standing in the house and scared, out.

At the moment when he rushed out, the wooden house collapsed with a bang, splashing the sky with muddy water.
