Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

As soon as she uttered these two short words, she felt that the Carters in front of her seemed to be looking at her a lot more kindly.

"What, it turned out to be a colleague. I also came in because of theft. Up to now, it has been..." Halfway through talking, the Cates suddenly got stuck, and counted with his fingers, "It should be No. 20. Come on, I forgot the details."

Really is a habitual thief.

"Twenty times!"

Surprised, Big Tail also raised himself a few decibels, and the Cates in front of him immediately blocked his ears.

"Don't yell, don't yell, what is this? There are people who have come in fifty times. Anyway, as long as you don't have money, you can come in. I have been here for so many years. Although the food here is simple, it is still good for emergencies. That’s right, otherwise, how can these black leather dogs catch me.”

The pride of the Custer people shocked Dawei a little bit, saying that it would not be enough to refresh the three views, but it was indeed a big shock.

She has always felt that it is a very shameful thing to make a mistake. As a village girl, she has a rather simple set of values, that is, she cannot steal what belongs to others.

It was the first time she had come into contact with this kind of thief who was not ashamed but proud, but she also knew that life in the city was not easy, if it was really for survival reasons to steal, she suddenly felt that she could understand.

"Oh, you didn't despise me. It really is good to be in the same company. I think you are also very pleasing to the eye. From now on, call me Xiao An. I can cover you when I go out."

"Ah."

Big Tail doesn't know how a thief should cover himself, but there's no need to refute it at a time like this, just agree to it.

After that, the two chatted casually, but compared to Xiao An's talkativeness, Da Wei, a relatively introverted person, talked much less, so the communication between the two was almost Xiao An talking and Da Wei listening.

But the chat between the two didn't last too long, Xiao An found the Elafia in the corner after slightly turning his attention away from Big Tail.

"Yo, you're still here."

Originally, Big Tail wanted to introduce something as the first visitor, but who would have thought that Xiao An would be more familiar with her, but thinking about Xiao An is a habitual thief, it is normal to meet her if he is often caught.

Just thinking of this big tail suddenly realized a question, that is, how long has this Elafian been locked up here?

"You're here again..."

"Yeah, staying outside in winter is really tormenting. It's better to be warmer here and have a bed to sleep in."

It is said to be a bed, but it is actually a wooden board.But just like what Xiao An said, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain and a bed is indeed enough in such a cold winter, no wonder she deliberately went to prison to live there.

"So what story are you going to tell me this time?"

Xiao An immediately sat on the plank bed, raised her legs like no girl consciously, as if she was really ready to listen to the story.

"story?"

But Big Tail doesn't understand, can that Elafian tell a story even though it's difficult for him to speak? She's not suitable for telling stories at all.

"Yeah, every time I come in, she will tell me a story, and those stories are really nice."

"Those aren't stories...that's what actually happened."

"It really happened? I don't believe it."

Xiao An's expression of disbelief was also caught by Da Wei, and she questioned it with a sarcasm.

"There is no such thing as a city that belongs to the infected person. He also said that as long as he works there, he can definitely support himself, and he can go to school and read for free at night, and he doesn't have to worry about being persecuted and killed for various reasons.

How could there be such a city in the world! "

Xiao An counted the things in the past "stories" of the Elafians one by one, and it seemed that she still remembered everything in her heart anyway.

The Elafia man also saw that she was indeed being scolded by Xiao An all the time, but there was a smile on her face.

"Actually...you are looking forward to it too..."

Stuck by this soul-direct question, Xiao An simply stopped talking and just lay on the bed, but when the atmosphere was a little frozen, Big Tail broke the freeze.

"Tell me now, the 'story' that happened elsewhere."

Big Tail was still skeptical, but as long as she was willing to listen, the Elafian would be satisfied.

Chapter 1382 Looking up at the sun

The Elafian was not a very good storyteller, Big Tail felt that even if she didn't have a scar on her throat, she wouldn't be a talkative type.

But it's not that if you don't like to talk, you can't tell a story well. This Elafian has another way, and that is to draw.

Anyway, Big Tail thinks that telling stories by drawing comic strips is much more intuitive than telling stories directly, otherwise she would not be able to imagine what the world is like.

It is not easy for Elafia to draw a picture. Her own physical strength and the shackles on her body make it impossible for her to complete this task by herself, and she must be assisted by others.

Xiao An didn't seem to believe the stories of the Elafians, but she was extremely curious about these stories, and she was the most active one every time she told a story.

Helped lift the shackles to reduce the burden, weaved straws into brushes that could draw, and they couldn't find the drawing board, so they gathered the dust that could be seen everywhere in the cell, and used these annoying little things to give Ella Fias scribbled.

But before telling the story, she asked Big Tail and Xiao An a question, whether they want to learn to read or not.

Xiao An has no interest in literacy, she just wants to listen to stories, but Big Tail is very concerned about it.

Xiao An, who can't hold back the big tail, can only accompany her to read the characters, but unlike the seriousness of the big tail, Xiao An only spends three days fishing and two days drying the net. Fortunately, they still have plenty of time.

When the sun rose the next day, Big Tail finally knew how to write her own name. When she saw the three crooked characters [Da Tail] written on the ground, she felt an indescribable feeling for some reason.

Her eyes, which hadn't cried for a long time, were moist again, but this time they were tears of joy.

"Hey, isn't it just to write a name, you can't do this, can you?"

Xiao An doesn't care too much about these things, but she understands what she cares about Da Tail. The friendship they spent in prison together made the two of them friends, and it is also Da Tail's first friend in a long time.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little happy. If I sign my name in the future, I won't have to draw a circle anymore..."

Xiao An didn't know what Dawei meant, but it didn't matter to ordinary people whether she could read or write, but it felt different to her. She had a pretty good memory and thought of the copy that she hadn't been able to sign before. contract.

She still doesn't know most of the words on it, but there are people she knows in front of her. She just needs to draw the words on it like a picture. The handwriting was also recognized by the Elafian.

The number of words is not many, and it can be summed up in several aspects. First of all, everything belonging to the signer belongs to the company. He works seven days a week, twelve hours a day, and may work overtime.

The company does not provide wages and benefits for employees, but guarantees three meals and accommodation for employees. In addition, all employees need to be responsible for their own actions. If any accident occurs, the company will not bear any responsibility.

In general, the front is almost the treatment of the signatories, and the back is a lot of disclaimers. If you follow this statement, even if someone dies, it will be for nothing.

The treatment of employees is not much different from that of slaves, it's just a different name.

If you use local words, the so-called contract is basically the so-called contract of sale.

"Hmph, I just said that those guys have no humanity at all. It's a good thing you didn't sign it!"

Xiao An's righteous indignation made Dawei escape from his memory. If it wasn't for some accidents, he might have been pulled into this kind of flesh and blood factory long ago. After speaking, Xiao An looked at the Elafians suspiciously.

"The so-called work in your place is not the same kind of work."

"Different..."

Elafia shook her head, but she didn't make any excuses. She would tell stories to the two of them after the daily literacy class, which also broadened Big Tail's horizons and let her know that there is another kind of life in this world. Way.

There is no need to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is no need to worry about the search of the infected picket team. Those Ursus who dare to reach out to the city have their claws broken.

People can live in peace of mind without fear, and they can go to school and read as long as they reach the right age.

In the narration with pictures, Big Tail seemed to really see another world.

At night, she fell asleep with longing for another world, as if she could go to that city in her dream.

There, she can wear clean clothes and go to school in bright classrooms, and the beautifully bound books in her hands can help her quickly understand the world.

Every meal time, I can enter the cafeteria and get food that can fill my stomach from those aunts with warm smiles.

Her good friend Xiao An only likes to eat meat and does not like vegetables that are also beneficial to the body. She wanted to preach to Xiao An, but found that her plate was almost all meat.

At night, she can still take a comfortable hot bath to wash off the dirt on her body and sleep in a warm bed.

Until woken up by the morning bell.

It's just that when she opened her eyes, what she saw was not her comfortable bed, but an extremely strong iron window.

These days lasted for a long time, and when the weather outside became warmer day by day, Xiao An was also released before Da Tail.

Obviously her crimes are much more than Big Tail, but she was released earlier, maybe this is the privilege of being a thief.

When her only friend left, Big Tail also felt a little lonely. The beauty in the dream made it even more difficult for her to endure the cold reality. Obviously the current life is no different from the past, but she just felt a sense of suffocation.

After looking up at the sun, people who are used to the night can also feel the despair of the night.

But what can we do if we are not patient?

She was also powerless to change this reality, and could only look at the Elafian with a look of pleading for help.

"Wait, wait patiently, wait for their arrival."

"But who am I going to wait for?"

Elafia was naturally not a riddler. She looked at Big Tail, took out a broken emblem from behind her, and sent her to Big Tail.

"This is our emblem. Someone will come back here to rescue you and me."

Big Tail didn't notice the change in Elafia's words, her attention was completely attracted by the broken emblem.

It was an emblem resembling a DNA double helix structure, with a pair of steel wings on both sides of the emblem.

Chapter 1383 End of Act Two

Bang ding ding, ding ding ding!

Big Tail was awakened from sleep again, but this time it was not the bell in the prison that woke her up, but the prison guards hitting the bars with batons.

Except for the time when Xiao An came in and sent him away, Big Tail rarely saw the prison guards come to their place where there was no oil and water.

Even if it was food delivery, it was delivered by people without dog furs. She just watched the prison guards in the outermost small room looking at the iron box that could display images, bragging and chatting.

"That big-tailed one, you can leave when your sentence is over."

"Wait a minute, I..."

Big Tail looked at the Elafia people deep in the prison. During this period of time, she had long regarded this seemingly young elder as her teacher. Now she wanted to say goodbye to her teacher but was rejected The prison guard interrupted roughly.

"Do you still want to leave, or stay here for a few months?"

If she had to go out and struggle to survive, she really wanted to stay for a while, but suddenly she understood Xiao An, but she was persuaded before she wanted to talk back.

"Go out..."

Big Tail glanced at his teacher for the last time, followed her instructions and followed the prison guards out of the somewhat dark dungeon.

Until now, she didn't know her teacher's name, and she never found a good opportunity to ask about her teacher's past.
