wolfie island

After that cataclysm, it has been 573 years since the end of the AD era.

If the fading sunlight could still penetrate the clouds as it did a long time ago, the earth would still look a beautiful azure blue, or even bluer.

573 years ago, when the asteroid passed by the catastrophe, 80.00% of the land on this planet sank into the bottom of the sea, making it look like a huge dark blue gem completely covered by sea water.

On this last piece of land, human beings tried their best to preserve the most advanced technology and as many living materials as possible at that time, and the surviving people built a new world here.

The AD era has since come to an end, and it has become a history that can never be forgotten but gradually fades away.

Water Ji 573 July 7th.

Sha Zuo followed several people who were about to be tried like him, and was taken to court No. [-] in the AS-II district by several people in federal uniforms.

When the first few people walked in, the courtroom was very quiet, except for the occasional voice of throat clearing, but when he heard his name and entered the courtroom, there was a low whisper in the courtroom. Mixed with indistinct sighs.

Is it a pity?Sha Zuo glanced down and saw his parents sitting in the front row with calm faces.

In Sha Zuo's memory, they were always so peaceful.They can remain calm when encountering anything, even when their son is about to be sentenced to exile, they can look calm, even calmer than the unrelated outsiders around them, and they may even smile if necessary come out.

So Sha Zuo also looks as usual, facing the unchangeable reality, he must learn to find a balance point in the shortest time, accept it, and then strive to live a better life within his ability.

Son, this is the law, in this hopeless world, we have no more choices.

"It's a pity for your son, he's too impulsive." A friend sitting next to Sha Zuo's mother whispered in her ear.

"It doesn't matter, he is my son wherever he is, even if he will never be seen again." She turned her face slightly and smiled at her friend, then continued to look at Sha Zuo who was standing on the trial seat.

Everyone will feel sorry. Sha Zuo grew up in an upper-class family envied by everyone in the AS-II district. His parents are both scientific researchers of the federal government. He was able to receive systematic knowledge since he was a child, and he was able to have a stable job and a peaceful life. , can occasionally eat natural food, and even often enjoy artificial sunlight. Unlike the few people around him who have lived in areas with insufficient sunlight for a long time, his complexion looks very healthy.

But the trial he will face is no different from those around him, no matter what his origin and background are.

On this land that is not rich in size and resources, the panic brought about by the increasing scarcity of resources has made the society more and more unstable. The federal government has tried hard to expand the land to the sea, but it still cannot accommodate more Population, too, can no longer afford any more chaotic factors.

In order to maintain the existing order, all criminals will be exiled.

It has been nearly 300 years since the government made this decision. In a world where residents have to obtain the approval of the government and go through strict screening to give birth to offspring, the exile of prisoners is a problem in the eyes of everyone. Nothing could be more normal.

"Sha Zuo, manslaughter, felony," the judge's cold and mechanical voice sounded, "According to the Federal Code, he will be exiled for life! No return."

As the hammer in the judge's hand fell heavily, Sha Zuo closed his eyes. He couldn't look directly at the calm eyes of his parents looking at him, the kind of eyes that gave him courage and made him deeply guilty.

He had already expected lifelong exile. There was no difference in sentencing between manslaughter and homicide.

What he didn't expect was that he was not able to accept this fact calmly as he imagined. The fear and anxiety in his heart spread like a stone thrown into a pool of water.

SUD-III is the number of this island. For the law-abiding people in the Federation, it is just a number. Although it has existed for hundreds of years, it is still far away from them.In the lives of ordinary people, there is no concept of SUD-III. No one knows what kind of environment there is, and what kind of life the prisoners will live there.

It is a forgotten land.

The rumored lost island.

Sha Zuo worked in the federal database. He had access to some materials of SUD-III, but he never paid attention to it. Like others, he felt that this was a place he would never need to understand.

The only thing that impressed him was the other name of the island besides the number, the most original name.

Wolfie Island.

After the verdict was pronounced, Sha Zuo and the other four criminals had to be taken to SUD-III within three hours. There was no room for detaining prisoners, especially felons.

There was no time to make any preparations for them. Sha Zuo didn't even have a chance to see his parents again. Before he had time to say goodbye to them, he was put on a small plane, and the five prisoners were locked together in a separate small warehouse.

As the plane took off, Sha Zuo's thoughts were instantly disturbed by the sound of the huge motor, and he felt that his ears were about to be shaken off.

Gasoline has long disappeared as a fuel in the AD era, and synthetic fuels have replaced it, which is more efficient, more resource-saving, and can minimize pollution at the same time.This plane gives Sazuo the feeling that it is not even as good as it was hundreds of years ago. Perhaps it is because the area of ​​AS is not too large. The civil rapid transportation network underground in the three areas can fully meet the travel needs. The government's development focus is not on this aspect.

After the plane climbed to the flight altitude, it began to bump and fly in the turbulent airflow.

The other prisoners in Xiaocang greeted each other with trembling handshakes and introduced themselves, as if they were not on their way to exile, but were going to a pleasant meeting together.

Sha Zuo touched their hands casually and stopped talking. He had no interest in joining their conversation.

He was different from these few people. Perhaps exile on Wolfscaping Island was just an uncomfortable place for them to continue and they could not see a future life, but for him, it was a world of difference.

Sha left his head and looked out of the window, because the sun could not penetrate the thick clouds, the whole sky was dark and gloomy, and the temperature was always low. Leaving the main urban area which is heated all the year round, there would be a biting chill in the air. It's depressing.

Although he grew up looking at such a sky, he still felt uncomfortable. He knew that before the catastrophe, the world was not what it is now. At that time, there were blue sky and white clouds, and different temperatures. four seasons.However, he has no intuitive impression of that kind of scenery. Similar image data in the database are considered useless content and are not taken seriously. Many of them have been lost in the previous hundreds of years of preservation.

"Your name is Sha Zuo?" A man sitting next to Sha Zuo looked at him and asked, interrupting his thoughts.

"Yes." Sha Zuo took his eyes back from the window and responded. This man is very thin and not tall, and he is considered handsome, but his bloodless complexion and staring eyes at him make people feel very uncomfortable. Comfortable.

"My name is Karen." He stretched out his hand in front of Sha Zuo, with an unpredictable light shining in his deep-set eyes, and looked Sha Zuo up and down.

Sha Zuo knew the reason, but he still didn't like being stared at with such probing eyes, so he touched Karen's hand casually, and then turned his head away.

As for his name, it is definitely not his real name. Everyone's real name is just a number, just like Sha Zuo, whose name was entered into the resident database as B3987635.

The first letter represents his level in this society, sorted from A to F, Sha Zuo looked at the prisoners around him, probably after E.

Several people in the warehouse chatted lively, exchanging the reasons for their exile, but they all glanced at Sha Zuo.

For them, people with A or B-level status like Sha Zuo are not easy to get in touch with. The clearly demarcated living areas make it possible that they will never have close contact with each other in their entire lives.

"Asian?" A person sitting across from him suddenly raised his chin and asked.

This question made Sha Zuo stunned. He does have most of Asian blood, and it can be seen that this person and Karen both have obvious Asian characteristics, but it has been hundreds of years since the catastrophe. This kind has long been unrepresentative, and no one will ask such retro questions.

Sha Zuo didn't speak, too lazy to answer this kind of question that sounded like it was just for conversation. He glanced at this person. When this person introduced himself before, he said that his name was Cheng Kan. He looked quite strong, with sharp eyes Lively and with a smile on his face.

"Manslaughter?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Kan didn't ask any more, and changed the subject again, "What's wrong?"

His impolite question made Sha Zuo a little uncomfortable, but because he might spend a long time with them in an unknown destination, he ignored Cheng Kan's attitude and responded: "It's just a mistake like that." .”

"It's funny," Karen laughed, and the laughter was full of mockery, "I'll kill you all, don't you dare to say it?"

Cheng Kan ignored Karen, and continued to look at Shazuo: "I heard that it's on Ring [-] Street. After passing the cordon, it's almost AS-I. What do people like you do there?"

Sha Zuo didn't speak anymore, Cheng Kan's way of questioning reminded him of the situation when he was locked up in the AS-II trial.

He no longer wants to recall the episodes of the murder. As for Huan No. [-] Street, it is indeed outside the cordon outside the main urban area. It is the junction of District I and District II in AS. Passports are required for entry and exit. , is another world, the other side of AS, where people at the bottom live.

He still hasn't figured out what important information in the database he needs to get outside the cordon, and he doesn't understand why that person has weapons that are strictly restricted in the three districts of AS, let alone why he will suddenly pounce on oneself...

But now, nothing matters.

The plane flew under the gloomy clouds for nearly four hours, Sha Zuo leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.

A deep roar was mixed with the noise of the plane flying from far and near.

It's very similar to the salute of AS's "Annual Day", but it's more shocking than that sound. This kind of vibration can always shake people's hearts and make people feel palpitations.

Sha Zuo frowned, what was that sound?

"My God..." Karen suddenly exclaimed, and there was a commotion among the people in the small warehouse, followed by surprise sounds.

Sha Zuo opened his eyes and found that they were all crowded by the window. Karen turned his head and called him in a trembling voice: "Sha Zuo, come and see! This is really...hell..."

At the same time that Sha got up from the left, the plane began to violently bump up and down. He staggered and leaned out of the window, only took a look out, and was stunned.

There is a black sea below the plane, and the combined area of ​​the entire AS-II area is not very large. You can fly out of the land part of the AS-II for an hour to see such a black sea, although he is so big that he can only see it. Been across the ocean three times, but that's nothing to be ashamed of.

What surprised him was the bottomless huge vortex on the sea surface.

The vortex was so deep that it seemed that there was no end in sight, and the monstrous black waves made a thunderous roar, turning out layers of white spray, and the wave wall raised almost reached the bottom of the plane.

"This is a vortex? It's so big! It's a kilometer in diameter!" A sharp voice came from the window, and Sha Zuo knew it was the prisoner named Kumbu. , which aggravated the already tense atmosphere in this small space.

A few people didn't speak. During this journey, no matter whether they deliberately avoided or really didn't care, they didn't show any anxiety about being exiled. In the face of this huge vortex beyond everyone's cognition, the inner fear is regarded as being exiled. It ticked off a little bit.

"What the hell is this place!" Karen shouted in despair, "What the hell is this place!"

The plane began to lift slowly, and Sha Zuo sat back on his seat. He didn't say anything. This scene brought him a shock he had never felt before. Besides, there will be such a world.

It took the plane a long time to cross the vortex, the turbulence gradually subsided, no one in the small cabin spoke, and several people fell into deep thought.

About half an hour later, the door connecting the small warehouse and the front warehouse was suddenly opened, and a heavily armed soldier leaned halfway in: "Everyone, come out, here we are."

Several people shook as if they were awakened by the sound, then slowly stood up, and followed the soldier into the front warehouse.

Sha Zuo walked at the end. After entering the front warehouse, he saw a large roll of rope thick as an arm on the floor at first sight. He froze for a moment, and his uneasiness deepened.The plane didn't mean to descend, but to let them slide down the rope?The plane didn't land?

"Put on your gloves! Go down in 3 minutes!" After speaking, an officer kicked the rope, pointed to the gloves on the side, and stood side by side with several other soldiers in front of them.

Sha Zuo didn't know if he was wrong, the ridicule and contempt that flashed in this man's eyes stabbed him hard in the heart.

"Slide the rope down!" The air seemed to freeze, and Kumbu suddenly screamed, "How can we go down! Isn't it killing us!"

"Those who refuse to go down can end their journey here." The previous officer pulled the bolt of his gun and looked at them expressionlessly.

"How high is it?" Sha Zuo looked at the muzzles of their guns, bent down and picked up a pair of gloves and put them on his hands.

"Down to 150 meters, we will try our best to lean down, but sometimes there will be wind." The man put away his gun and looked out the window. "It depends on your luck."

"I've always been lucky," Cheng Kan smiled, picked up a pair of gloves and put them on, "I'll be the first in a while."

The few remaining people hesitated for a long time, and finally put on their gloves helplessly.

Sha Zuo looked out the window, the sky had already darkened, and the already gloomy sky looked even weirder now, he leaned against the window, wanting to see where they were about to set foot.

Before he could get to the window, the cabin door was suddenly pulled open, and a gust of cold wind swept in, and the chill soaked into his bones in an instant.

The soldier standing by the door looked out, turned his head and smiled meaningfully at them: "Welcome to Wolfscaping Island, welcome to hell!"
