The refugee camp is in the mountains far away from the city. There is a flat land and it is next to the garbage dump. It is the best choice for refugees when choosing a place to live.

But the environment here is not good, they can’t afford high-tech tents, so they can only do it by themselves, it’s as simple as returning to the life of primitive people, the air is filled with peculiar smell, and the garbage dump next to it makes a huge roar in the middle of the night Voice.

All daily necessities are collected by going to the garbage dump.

Adults and children are illiterate, and many suffer from disease.

The child's chances of dying are high.

Sarah lives in the far corner of the camp with her four-year-old child, which leaves the small family with fewer hands to go out and pick up junk.

It stands to reason that a four-year-old child is also a labor force here, but this child was abandoned by his parents and was born with a disease.

Sarah's motherhood compelled her to keep the child, to protect the child.

So she took the kids during the day and Joel went out picking up junk.

Joel took care of his sister at night, and she went out to pick up junk.

But Sarah also knew that this method wouldn't last long. She had fainted more than ten times in the garbage dump.

She was afraid that one day she would faint and never wake up again.

How can the two children protect themselves without adults around to take care of them?

The adults in the refugee camp have been in fear for a day because their children are missing.

They all knew that the children must have gone to that factory because of that piece of paper, those eloquent cat propaganda.

"Sarah, let's go together." The skinny and skeleton-like man stood at the door of Sarah's tent. He kept coughing, with one hand propping up the tree trunk next to him, shaking like a stick insect in the wind.

Sarah had the girl on her back, fear written on her face: "Are you going?"

The man nodded: "That's my child."

Sarah took a step back. The experience of life made her feel that Joel was already in danger. Even if they passed, how could such a weak refugee, who was unarmed and weak, be the opponent of those cats?

She didn't know what to do, and she was told rationally that Joel must have been taken away, and she still had a child to take care of, so she couldn't go to Joel.

But emotion told her again, if she didn't try, how would she know if she could get it back?

These two thoughts tugged at her, causing her to shed tears uncontrollably.

They live so humblely, they can't see a glimmer of hope, and they can't find any exit. Their only wish is to "live".How could such a wish not be granted by God?

It was almost midnight when Sarah joined the team of parents looking for their children. They couldn't find any decent weapons, most of them were some thick branches or iron pieces they picked up.

Everyone's eyes were very sad. They stood together, but they were not angry or excited. They were already desperate, and this time it just made them more desperate.

"You listen."

Just as they were about to go, they heard footsteps.

The children were running not far away, laughing. The children in the refugee camp rarely laughed. They knew the hardships of life from the moment they were conscious.

But now, they are laughing.

Some of them even changed back to their prototypes, allowing them to run faster. Each kitten carries the lives and expectations of the elders.

Of course, each of these kittens was malnourished.

Sarah saw Joel, who, unlike the other children, had beautiful red fur that burned the color of fire in the dim light of the night.

He was beautiful, and Sarah thought it was a beautiful kitten the first time she saw him.

Adopting him has also become a matter of course.

It's just -- Joel has something in his mouth, and it's long and wide.

The children threw themselves into the arms of their parents, and there were also orphans. The orphans ran back to their tents, looking around cautiously, wary of anyone.

Joel turned back into a human form, and he handed a strip of meat that was almost half his height to Sarah, with a smug smile on his face: "They didn't lie to us! There is real meat!"

So, as expected, Joel and all the children with parents were severely beaten.

When the parents finally calmed down and the panic and fear slowly subsided, they began to listen carefully to what the children were saying.

But the children always fail to express their meaning, and they say a simple thing upside down, making the listeners baffled.

Joel sat on the side after being beaten. Sarah didn't have much strength. Even if he tried his best, Joel wouldn't feel any pain.

What's more, Sarah couldn't bear to use force at all.

"Let me tell." Joel stood among all the cats. He stood in front of the fire, and his red hair seemed to be burning like the fire.

Joel said: "That factory processes canned food. They want some of us to learn how to cook and others to learn how to process it."

"Children under the age of 16 are free to eat and live. They are just studying and do not participate in formal work. They are apprentices."

"Those who are over 16 years old must join the job, with food and housing included, and a monthly salary."

"We went to see the accommodation conditions." Joel described carefully, "There are three beds in a room. I heard that if the family has a large number of people, you can apply for an extra bed. The dormitory has curtains and tables. There are collective bathing facilities on each floor. between."

"If you want to go, you have to sign a contract."

"After working for one year, we will be able to settle down and have a registered permanent residence and identity certificate."

The adults were silent. They looked at Joel and knew that the child would not lie, but they did not dare to trust him.

What if?In case those people just try to catch them all and sell them, they're screwed.

They can't afford to gamble.

After returning to the tent, Joel began to pack the usable things that could be taken away in the tent.

Sarah was still very worried. She stood at the entrance of the tent, a little at a loss.

If it's really as good as Joel said, even if she climbs, she will climb over it.

"Joel." Sarah carried the girl on her back, with a sad look on her face.

But Joel said: "Mom, we have almost picked up everything we can pick up here, and the nearby wild fruits are almost finished. We can't leave our home on Sea Spirit Star. In the end, when there is no way to go, we will go to The nearby villages and towns were looted."

"Then, we'll die."

"Staying here, this is our final outcome." Joel's mind has never been so clear, "No matter how bad it is, it won't be so bad."

Sarah was stunned. She looked at Joel, at the piece of meat on the table, and then at the girl carrying it.

Finally, she lowered her head helplessly and whispered, "I'm so useless."

Joel shook his head: "No, mom, you have done enough, without you, there would be no me and my sister."

When going to bed that night, Ye Feiran was a little apprehensive, and Rhodes was sleeping next to him. Since Ye Feiran came back, Rhodes could clearly feel the changes in his body and mental strength, and this change was obvious.

"What's wrong?" Rhodes pulled Ye Feiran into his arms very naturally.

Ye Feiran didn't think there was anything wrong, he sighed: "It's more difficult to resettle refugees than I imagined."

The most difficult thing is not that there is a place to place them, but that it is difficult for them to break through the barriers in their hearts.

Rhodes comforted: "Don't worry, take your time."

Ye Feiran sighed.

Rhodes patted Ye Feiran on the back and comforted him gently: "It will get better."

Ye Feiran rested his head on Rhodes' chest. He knew what he was doing and knew that he would encounter difficulties, but the difficulties came too early and he was caught off guard.

"Breakfast is ready. It's in the living room. If it's cold, you can warm it up before eating." Rhodes urged.

At this moment, Rhodes had already changed into his military uniform, Ye Feiran was still lying on the bed, he nodded in a daze, and began to get up and change his clothes.

Then he started to measure his height, and he was three centimeters taller than yesterday.

Ye Feiran rubbed his chin, it may take some time before he grows up to be an adult, but it probably won't be long.

During this period of time, mental power must not be wasted.

Ya Li was already guarding the door at this time. She changed into a skirt, and she also wore a certain amount of golden wavy curly hair, and put on an extremely delicate makeup.

When Ye Feiran saw Ya Li, he almost sat down on the ground in shock.

Good-looking is good-looking, but it is too subversive of the image, Ye Feiran is not used to it.

However, Ya Li was very relaxed. Since she lost the protection of her elders, she had to be very strong, and she had to be stronger than men.Although gender discrimination is much better than before, she is not as competitive as men in the same job.

What a man does, she must do better than him, or even several times, in order to be recognized and appreciated.

She had masculine hair and masculine attire, thinking that by doing so, she would shed her femininity from her appearance so that others would not look down on her.

But what Ye Feiran said yesterday made her think about it all night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She can't wait to become stronger and not to be underestimated by others.

But she is just trying to make herself closer to a "male".

When Yali woke up in the morning, she looked at her wardrobe and dressing table.

For the first time, she discovered that she was an ordinary woman.

She likes beautiful clothes, fine jewelry and shoes, bags of all kinds, it's in her nature.

And she foolishly thought that as long as she suppressed her own nature, she could gain the recognition and respect of others.

Not because of one's own natural preferences, but just for the opinions of others, which is ridiculous.

It doesn't make any sense.

"It's beautiful." Ye Feiran still praised.

Yali's facial features are very beautiful, but the military temperament on her body makes people ignore this.

Ya Li pursed her lips shyly and said with a smile: "Really, I'm still not used to it."

"Have the refugees come?" Ye Feiran asked.

Ya Li frowned: "There are only a dozen of them."

Ye Feiran and Ya Li got into the car and headed to the factory.

The dozen or so people who came to the factory were placed in the lounge. There is a constant temperature system here, there is no hot sun, and it is much cooler than the weather outside. These people did not sit on the sofa.

They sat on the ground, cowardly, fearful, and shivering.

Holding a cup of hot water in her hand, Sarah was terrified, having not dealt with city cats in years.

They live in two worlds, one is bright and beautiful, and all cats can smile in the sun.

And another world is dark and ugly, just crawling on the ground struggling to survive.

Joel's gaze was firm. He was still young, and he hadn't lost his courage after being tortured by all kinds of suffering like adults.

He looked at the door—at this time the door was slowly pushed open, and a small figure walked in against the light.

It was a good-looking man, and Joel had only such poor words to describe the appearance of this man.

He has delicate white skin, brown soft hair, he is so different, so delicate and beautiful.

"I won't say much else." Ye Feiran cut to the chase, "You have three days to rest, tidy up, and arrange the dormitory. After three days, I will arrange for you to study."

"I won't limit your freedom. Every night from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], you can do what you want. The factory door will always be open. But the factory will close after [-]:[-]. We can only spend the night outside."

No rules, no standards.

Although these cats are poor, they are used to being at ease.

The rules can be changed slowly, but they must be adapted to this kind of life, otherwise it will be difficult to manage.

"Everyone will receive two sets of work clothes." When Ye Feiran said this, the security outside brought the work clothes in.

They distributed the tooling to these people with a blank face.

There are not too many sizes, but Ye Feiran specially asked to make it a little wider, and they are all one size fits all.

Younger kids and teens and adult sizes are separated.

There were only a dozen people who came this time, and they were all elderly people who were about to lose their ability to survive, except for Sarah and Joel.

When Sarah was taken to the dormitory with her leader's overalls in her arms, she didn't have any sense of reality. She was in a daze, as if she was dreaming. Her expression was very complicated, as if she was about to cry, but also seemed to be laughing. In the next second, he became expressionless again.

"Mom?" Joel noticed the change in Sarah's mood, and he was a little worried.

Sarah smiled with difficulty, until she sat in the dormitory assigned to their family, the whole body finally came back to life.

"We have a place to live." Sarah stood up frantically, clasped her hands tightly, her whole body began to tremble involuntarily, "No need to be drenched in the rain, we have a bed and a table."

She was crying as she spoke.

In the evening they had a hot meal.

It's not rich, but they can fill their stomachs, and tear some meat strips, they can replenish their energy.

There is also bone soup to drink. These have to go to the cafeteria. Every cat can get a portion, and if there is not enough, you can get more.

The cat at the window said that after they officially started work, there would still be meat in the cafeteria.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Sarah looked at the open factories, and she said to Joel: "Don't go out, watch your sister in the dormitory, I'll go out for a while."

She was going to tell the cats at the camp the truth of the story.

Especially the ones with which she has a good relationship, she doesn't have the energy to take care of the other cats, if they still don't believe it, it's their bad luck, and she can't help it.

When Sarah returned to the camp, the cats had not all returned. They were scattered in the surrounding forests, looking for something to eat.

She knew what she was going to do, so she went straight to the neighbor's tent.

The man opened the tent and came out, only to see Sarah in clean overalls.

The man was stunned: "Why do you..."

Sarah laughed and also cried: "It's true, what the children said is true, come with me."

Before closing at ten o'clock, Sarah brought back a total of more than ten people, all of them were neighbors who lived near Sarah.

Fortunately, the staff didn't take a break, and quickly arranged accommodation for them.

Sarah was lying on the bed, covered with a soft and warm quilt. The temperature in the room was comfortable, but it started to rain outside.

The sound of rain falling was right next to her ears, and she had never felt so safe listening to the sound of rain hitting the window.

These rainwater will not penetrate the tent, and it will not rain heavily outside and light rain inside.

There is still hot water in the kettle, and there are dried meat shredded into small strips on the table, so if you get hungry in the middle of the night, you can satisfy your hunger.

"Mom, that's great." Joel whispered in the quiet night.

Sarah also said, "That's great."

"We have to work hard." Sarah swallowed, "You should use your own hands for food, don't be too greedy."

Joel nodded. He grabbed the soft quilt with both hands and took a deep breath in the quilt. It was the smell after drying in the sun.

While Joel and the others were falling asleep, looking forward to their future life, Ye Feiran was busy.

He was watching the video played by Rhodes, and his brows were frowned: "Is the imperial capital in such a mess now?"

The video shows the slums of the imperial capital. More and more people are pouring into the imperial capital, but the population capacity of the imperial capital is limited, and the land resources are also limited, especially food and drinking water.

Locals and outsiders have become hostile groups, vying for resources on the same land, which is another kind of war without gunpowder.

The life of the refugees in the camera is difficult. They have money, but they cannot buy food, and the shops in the city are unwilling to sell them.

There are more and more diseases such as sickness and infection, and the small clinic is full of people.

Large hospitals are overcrowded.

Rhodes was obviously a little surprised: "I thought they would handle it better."

"But obviously, they're pretty much overwhelmed."

Ye Feiran sighed, he doesn't have any more ability to create jobs for refugees from alien planets, at least not now.

Now the refugees who can absorb Sea Spirit Star have spent almost all of his savings.

Moreover, it will take at least one month from learning to being able to put it into production. This month will not create any benefits, and Ye Feiran's savings have become the only support.

"Solving the problem of refugees has always been a difficult problem." Rhodes frowned tightly, "We must also be prepared to face such a situation."

Ye Feiran nodded: "After Hailingxing's factory is on the right track, if feasible, other planets can follow suit."

Rhodes thought for a while: "It is not easy to convert these manpower into labor force, you have worked very hard."

Ye Feiran smiled, he didn't feel how hard he was, and he didn't have time to feel hard before the matter was resolved.

Rhodes kissed Ye Feiran's forehead: "It will get better and better."

It was a comforting kiss, just like how an elder treats a younger generation. Ye Feiran felt a little uncomfortable. He turned his head and did not look directly at Rhodes' beautiful eyes.

He saw clearly what was in his heart, he wanted to pursue Rhodes, to be the person standing beside Rhodes and stroking Rhodes' hair, but obviously, now is not the time, the situation is not good enough for him He fell in love without any worries.

Rhodes stared at Ye Feiran, his palm was very thick and rough because he held the muzzle of the gun for many years, and his rough palm stroked Ye Feiran's soft cheek.

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a strange atmosphere in the air.

Ye Feiran stood up suddenly: "I'm going to take a shower."

Rhodes also seemed to come back to his senses, he watched Ye Feiran walk towards the bathroom, opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.

Ye Feiran became busy, his life was no longer staying by Rhodes' side, watching Rhodes busy.

"There are more than ten people." Ya Li stood beside Ye Feiran, and they patrolled the factory together.

Ye Feiran pursed her lips: "There are still too few people."

Ya Li is convinced that what Ye Feiran wants is a sustainable production factory, not a small workshop with more than 30 employees. A large assembly line factory needs a lot of people, each according to their duties, and maintain discipline and discipline.

"Let's expand the scope of recruitment. In addition to refugees, people in need in the city can also be recruited." Ye Feiran said, standing on the highest point of the factory, he could see the distant city.

Cities are different from refugee camps. Even if the people inside are poor, they can at least find simple jobs and will not starve or suffer from cold.

Ye Feiran sighed: "Let's look again."

He didn't want to give up too soon those refugees who didn't come.

"You and I go to the refugee camp." Ye Feiran said to Ya Li.

Ali nodded without any objection.

So Joel volunteered to be the guide of Ya Li and Ye Feiran.

Joel is very talkative and talkative. He chatted with Ye Feiran all the way, but unlike others, he would not say that life is difficult, nor would he talk about bad things that happened to him before.

Most of what he talks about is the interesting things in life.

For example, there is a hidden mountain forest next to the refugee camp, and there is a place in it where many wild fruits grow.

This is what he found by himself. When they first came to Sea Spirit Star, it was these wild fruits that allowed them to spend the most difficult time at the beginning.

If you are used to suffering, you don't feel suffering anymore, because you don't know what a good life is like.

Joel is very enthusiastic about Ye Feiran, probably because he is the first among all the children to talk to Ye Feiran, and Ye Feiran's attitude towards him is also very gentle. When Joel talks, Ye Feiran will also smile, Listen carefully.

Joel looked at Ye Feiran's expression while talking, and seeing the smile on Ye Feiran's mouth, Joel even felt that this was Ye Feiran's recognition of himself.In Ye Feiran's eyes, he should be different.

When he came to the refugee camp, Ye Feiran was dumbfounded. He thought that the living environment of the refugees would not be very good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

It's like... like hell on earth.
