On the top of the mountain, there is a common disaster.

The three-story wooden attic is wrapped by an earthen wall covered with sharp tiles.

Inside the wall, it is divided into five areas.

A larger area is distributed on the outermost layer, where various crops are planted.

A breeding area has dozens of livestock, including cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

The logging area is full of chopped wood, which is neatly stored in a simple shed covered with thatch.

The remaining two areas close to the main building are mixed together, as a leisure and entertainment area, a lot of flowers are planted, and a small fountain is also built.

The main building is a large wooden contiguous building with two floors and only one gate. The rooms are closely arranged next to each other, all on the second floor, like a small medieval castle.

Every window was lit with dim lights, and the people inside opened the windows to look at the sunset in the sky with sad faces.

The lights gradually went out, and finally there were only a few scattered lights left.

"Mother Li Ji, look, the sunset is so beautiful."

Ten-year-old little Nadi has blond hair and blue eyes, pointing to the red sunset in the sky, her eyes sparkle.

Li Ji touched her chubby face, with a look of doting on her face, and said: "Little Nadi, it's getting dark, come in quickly."

"But I want to play for another five minutes."

Little Nadi pursed her lovely lips.

"Little Nadi, listen to your mother and go into the house quickly."

A man's voice came, carrying a large bag of things in his hand.

When little Nadi saw someone coming, she immediately put away her coquettish posture, quickly got off the swing, and trotted all the way into the house.

"It's so late? Why are you here?"

Li Ji asked with a puzzled face, and at the same time took the things brought by the man.

"The freshly smoked pork has a few bottles of vodka. I heard that you are going to hold a welcome ceremony tonight. I must have a share, right?"

The man smiled, then looked up at the sunset in the sky, and said, "I haven't seen such a blood-red sunset for a long time."

"I hadn't come at that time. I heard from Steve that you were in the same batch as him."

Li Ji was also moved, she sighed and said, "Fortunately, there is a place of common hardship. Most of the people who came later are still alive, so they won't have to suffer the hardships you once had."

"So, you are everyone's benefactor."

"Thank you, Lizzie."

The man said earnestly.

"Don't say these useless words, I'm no hero compared to you."

"Although I have been instilling in everyone the idea of ​​treating the shelter as a family, but, you know, everyone... even me... want to leave here."

Li Ji looked at the man with anticipation in her eyes: "Recently, do you have any clues?"

The man shook his head, sighed, and said, "No."

"Let's go in."

"I'll leave in a while, go and see them first."

Li Ji also sighed and nodded.

She collected her thoughts, and the iconic smile appeared on her face again.

There are three gates in total. In order to prevent people from being confused by the devil, the keys of the three gates are scattered in the hands of three people.

And these three people, except for Li Ji, the remaining two people take turns guarding here every day, and are called "caretakers".

The watchmen slept during the day and guarded the door at night.

From the establishment of the shelter to the present, it has never failed.

"Os, good evening, see what good things I brought you."

As soon as the man entered the door, he was enthusiastic towards the one-armed old man guarding the door.

Oss, one of the "watchers", was holding a battered rifle in his hand all the time, with a serious expression on his face,

Facing the man's enthusiasm, he just glanced lightly.

However, after seeing the other party take out a bottle of vodka, his muddy eyes suddenly burst into a strange look.

"Don't be so serious? For the sake of so many new people, I'll just take a sip today."

The man pressed against Os's ear and whispered.

"well."

Oscar nodded slightly.

His eyes swept over the forbidden corner wrapped in an iron cage hanging in front of the door, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the empty arm of his right hand, which was the work of a demon.

With even more hesitation on his face, he slowly shook his head.

Seeing him like this, the man took out a small cup, poured a little, and joked, "I still can't change my alcoholism. If this is the case, you can only taste it."

"Drunk or not."

He put the glass on the side table.

Oss swallowed.

In the hall, the lights are bright.

After the man drank a few glasses of welcome wine, he said goodbye to everyone.

"Li Ji, don't send it away, you are needed more over there."

"It's already very late, you drank again, or you can sleep here tonight, and leave tomorrow during the day, there are still many vacant rooms here." Li Ji supported him, with a worried expression on her face.

The man looked down at his watch.

"It's only 5.20, the road down the mountain is easy."

"OK then."

Li Ji said helplessly, and after sending the man to the door, arranged for Oss to say a word, and then went back.

The man passed the door, looked at the empty wine glass on Oss's table, with a smile on his face.

"So just drink it in a hurry? How about it? Does it taste good?"

Old Oss blushed, glared at him vigorously, looked away, and stopped talking.

The man teased a few more words, seeing that the other party ignored him, he wisely stopped talking.

He moved his steps and slowly approached the "forbidden corner" in the iron cage at the door.

He reached out his hand and touched it lightly.

"What are you doing?!" Oss roared.

"Ah... I didn't do anything, maybe I got hysterical from drinking too much."

"You almost broke the rules here, do you know? If it wasn't for that glass of wine, I could shoot you straight away!"

"Now, get out of here! Immediately! Immediately!"

With that said, Oss raised his gun.

The man's complexion changed, and he quickly raised his hands.

"Sorry sorry...I, I'm leaving now."

With a flustered expression on his face, he lifted his feet and walked out of the shelter quickly.

Peng!

Behind him, there was the sound of the door closing.

Inside the door, Oss did not find it.

The forbidden corner hanging in the iron cage in front of the door,

There was a streak of black blood on the surface.

Outside the door, the man glanced back at the shelter behind him,

A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He turned his head and adjusted the glasses that fell to the tip of his nose.

Walk towards the fog in the forest.
