wolfie island

Chapter 13 You are a burden

Sha Zuo went out along the way he came in, and when he returned to the room, he saw Lilyka waiting for him beside the cabinet, pushed the cabinet back to its original place, and picked up a big cloth bag beside him: " I helped you get a week's ration, we all get it once a week, and I also found you a few sets of clothes that fit you, will you change into them and let me show you around?"

"Thank you." Sha Zuo opened the cloth pocket and took a look. Clothes, food, daily necessities and medicine, except that there were no weapons, were as comprehensive as those distributed to the exiled prisoners at the supply station when he went to the island.

It's just that there seems to be no synthetic food, and the clothes are made of ordinary cotton.

Sha Zuo put on a suit of well-fitting clothes, stuffed the Nagana suit into the bag, and thought about washing it and returning it to him.

He walked out of the house but didn't see Lilica's shadow. He looked around for a long time before he found her lying on the opposite roof, staring at the gloomy sky in a daze.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Lilyka jumped down from above, her movements were agile and clean.

"Alright, let's go." Lilica patted the sand on her hands.

"Well, why did you run to the roof?" Sha Zuo smiled. Lilica looked young, but she was different from the girls she was used to in AS.

"Bask in the sun." Lilyka smiled. The word "bask in the sun" probably makes everyone laugh. Where in this world can there be sunshine that can warm people?

Sha Zuo didn't speak, and walked slowly on the not spacious dirt road side by side with Lilica.

Lilyka talked a lot, and she kept introducing to him where people live, where you can get rations, and where everyone gathers. She pointed to an open space: "That's our square, what's the fun, everyone We'll all be there to celebrate."

"Happy things?" Sha Zuo looked at this simple square. In this kind of place, such environment, and such living conditions, what else is there to celebrate.

"Well, for example, when a child is born, the food production we grow has increased, quite a lot," Lilica explained seriously, "You may not experience this kind of joy now, it is very different from AS here, But in the future you will understand that here, on the basis of being alive, there are many things to be happy about."

When it comes to children, Sha Zuo is a little strange. After he went to the island, he saw very few women, almost negligible. With such a ratio, where did the children come from?But whether it was Ponca City Pauli or here, there were quite a few people, and he couldn't help saying: "I haven't seen any women..."

"Aren't I a woman?" Lilica smiled, but soon her eyes dimmed again, "There are few women on the island, whether it is in Ponka or Liberty City, women are scarce resources, but in Ponka... ...Women should be just reproductive tools, just like...animals, constantly mating and giving birth."

Sha Zuo was speechless, what kind of distorted world is this?

Lilica led him around Liberty City. It didn't look like a big area, but he walked for a long time. When he returned to the side of the square, Lilica looked up at the sky: "It's noon, I'll take you go for rest?"

"I want to walk again," Sha Zuo shook his head, "Is Naga still here?"

"It should be on the other side of the cliff." Lilica pointed to the path leading to the cliff behind Liberty City. "You can see it by walking straight there. I won't take you there. Naga doesn't want to see us."

Sha Zuo walked along the road to the edge of the cliff. He wanted to find Naga for no other reason, but he never formally thanked Naga.

But when he got to the edge of the cliff, he didn't see anyone. The cold wind that passed through the valley below the cliff was blowing very hard here. He shrank his neck, stood and looked around, but found nothing. He was a little disappointed. Turn around and prepare to leave.

"Looking for me?" Naga's voice came from behind, sounding a bit erratic, not close.

Sha Zuo turned around, but saw no one, he hesitated and walked towards the edge of the cliff: "Naga?"

"under."

This time he heard clearly that Naga's voice was coming from under the cliff, and he tried to take two steps forward, because the broken suspension was basically ninety degrees, and he couldn't see the ground below unless he stood on the edge. Condition.But before he got to the edge, the black rock under his feet became a little loose, and he stopped: "Can you come up?"

"You jump down." Naga said quite lightly, as if you were saying come over.

"What?" Sha Zuo suspected that he heard it wrong, he squatted on the edge of the cliff, "It's fine if you don't come up, I just want to tell you, thank you for saving me, without you, I might die there, And, your Draco, I'm sorry."

Most of the prisoners exiled to the wolf hunting island are AS civilians. Their grades determine that they cannot receive any education, and this is especially true for those born on the wolf hunting island. Jia was silent for a long time, he didn't know what to say.

Sha Zuo didn't wait for his answer, so he stood up and took a few steps back: "How long have you been staying here?"

"do not know."

"If I don't stay in Liberty City, where else can I go?"

"Pangka's place, Lobu's place, it's fine." Naga's slow voice came from the cold wind, with obvious banter.

Sha Zuo was used to his tone of voice, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but asked seriously: "Lobu? What is Lobu?"

"Didn't you almost mate with Lob?"

Sha Zuo instantly recalled the scene at the bottom of the valley, and the feeling of the aborigines touching him made his stomach queasy.He was a little annoyed at Naga's teasing, he raised his foot and kicked hard at the loose rock on the edge of the cliff, a piece of gravel immediately rolled down, and the sound of hitting the cliff echoed in the deep valley.

It took a long time for the gravel to roll to the bottom of the valley. This cliff is indeed very deep.After the impact gradually stopped, except for the sound of the wind, there was no other sound. Shazuo suddenly felt a little uneasy, did he hit Naga?

"Naga?" he called out.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the edge of the cliff, and grabbed onto the stone on the edge of the cliff, and then saw Naga jumping up from below, the hat was covered with fine sand and gray-white rock debris.

Sha Zuo quickly took two steps back, he just kicked casually, he didn't expect that Naga would be directly below him, he thought that Naga might get angry: "I'm sorry, I...it makes me a little uncomfortable to be teased like this all the time. "

Naga didn't speak, and took off all the debris on his hat and shoulders, but the indelible off-white marks on his black coat were still obvious.

"Don't you want to stay here?" Naga asked Sha Zuo when he turned around helplessly and was about to leave.

"Well, the pastor said that Cheng Kan asked him to save me. Why did this happen? I don't think anyone will tell me the reason." Sha Zuo looked at Naga's face hidden under the hat, "but I haven't even figured out why I killed someone now. Qing, I don't want to get involved in anything..."

Sha Zuo paused, Naga listened without any expression, and he continued: "But you mean, I have nowhere to go, right? Except for the aborigines, the only places that can live are Ponca and Freedom city."

"Yes."

"Thank you," Sha Zuo sighed softly, tugged at the collar that had been blowing wind, turned around and walked slowly back along the road, "Then I can only stay here."

"The pastor is a good man." Naga said behind him.

The pastor is a good man, Sha Zuo is willing to believe this sentence, but he still can't fully accept the life in Liberty City. The premise of freedom is fighting and killing. For him, there is a psychological barrier that is not easy to overcome for the time being. ditch.

All he wants now is a life that can be lived in peace, even if it is only for a short time, he needs to clean up his emotions.

Or... Sha Zuo stopped in his tracks. He knew that his thoughts were outrageous, but he still turned his head to look at Naga: "Can I go with you?"

Naga seemed a little surprised, raised his chin, and answered after a while: "No."

"Why?" Sha Zuo actually expected Naga to give him such an answer.

"You're a liability."

Naga's words were too straightforward, and he simply and quickly hit Shazuo. He shook his body, didn't speak again, turned around and left quickly along the way he came.

burden.This is simply the most accurate description. Sha Zuo suddenly felt that everything he thought before was naive. He didn't want to stay in Liberty City, he didn't want to be taken in by people with unknown purposes, and he didn't want to be involved in the terrible battle for survival... …

However, what ability do you have to survive on this island without these?

All the self-confidence built up under the superior growth environment of AS was shattered by the word Naga.

It was also at this time that he fully understood what his parents had told him.

Facing the unchangeable reality, we must learn to find a balance point in the shortest possible time, accept it, and then strive to live a better life within our ability.

He always thought he could do it, but he didn't expect that he never did it.

On the way back to the square, Sha Zuo occasionally bumped into people passing by, and everyone smiled at him friendlyly. There were often newcomers here, and no one was too curious about Sha Zuo.Sha turned left for a long time, returned to the pastor's room, and saw Lilica "basking in the sun" on the opposite roof.

"I'm back." Lilica sat up and looked at him from the roof. "Do you want to rest? I'll take you to where you live."

"Okay." Sha Zuo nodded.

Lilica jumped down and pointed to a small house not far away: "Everyone lives over there. The combat team and men, women and children live on the other side of the cliff, which is safer."

"Yes." Sha Zuo took the big cloth bag and followed Lilica to that side.

"Our conditions are not very good. We all live together. The pastor said that you are a B-level AS number. You may not be able to adapt to this environment at first, so I arranged for you to live with Jiexiu. The two of you will be quiet Some."

"It's okay, I'll be just like everyone else." Sha Zuo felt a little uncomfortable about being treated specially by the pastor.

"Jesu was supposed to live there. The people who lived with him... went to the castle last month to search for escaped people, and never came back," Lilica lowered her head, and after a while He put on a smile again, "Jiexiu is the vice-captain of the combat team, and he's a nice guy."

Jiexiu's house is at the outermost part of this group of small houses. When entering the house, Sha Zuo saw a plant planted in a small glass bottle on the window sill.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, similar to the pastor’s. The only difference is that there are many plants on the table, beside the bed, and on the wall. They are very small, and they are all planted in glass bottles. The room seemed very warm.

There was a person lying on the bed, and when they heard them coming in, he sat up from the bed and said hello to Sha Zuo: "Sha Zuo?"

"This is Jiexiu." Lilica turned around and introduced to Sha Zuo.

"Hello." Sha Zuo walked over and extended his hand habitually.

Jiexiu was stunned for a moment before standing up and shaking hands with him lightly: "Welcome."

After Lilica left, Sha Zuo took out the contents of the cloth bag and put them on the small cabinet next to the other bed. He hadn't carefully studied some food.

"Are you used to it? It's different from AS's." Jiexiu lay back on the bed and looked at him with his arms under his head.

"Well," Sha Zuo picked up a small bread and took a bite, "It's even more delicious than AS's natural food."

"The natural food of AS has also been genetically modified." Jiexiu stared at Sha Zuo's movements, and he couldn't believe Sha Zuo's saying that he had no training. "Pursue production."

"Yes, there are more people and less land, so many people can't eat it and can only rely on synthetic food." Sha Zuo quickly finished a small bread, and picked up another piece that looked like meat. He ate it in the morning. Very little, now I feel hungry after resting.

"Would you like to take a shower and rest?"

"That would be the best." Sha Zuo has never touched water except drinking water since he went to the island.

Jiexiu jumped off the bed, walked to a corner of the room, bent down and grabbed an iron ring on the floor and lifted it, a piece of the floor was uncovered, revealing a rock hole underneath, and a trace of white mist drifted out from time to time.

"There is a hot spring pool below." Jiexiu pointed to the bottom, "You can see it from the stairs, the water is very warm."

"Thank you." Sha Zuo looked down, and there was a dim yellow light in the white mist.

He walked down the stairs. He had never seen hot springs before. AS had very little geothermal energy. Even if there were such things as hot springs, they would not be opened for civilian use, for bathing...

After Shazuo went down, Jiexiu squatted down by the hole, listening carefully to Shazuo's movements, and after confirming that Shazuo had entered the pool, he followed lightly.

He had no other intentions, he just wanted to see if Sha Zuo had been trained, although this method didn't seem very appropriate.

Sha Zuo stood in the water, the water temperature was very high, and a burst of warmth slowly spread from his feet to his whole body, but he didn't dare to sit down and soak his whole body in the hot water. The injuries on his legs and buttocks were unknown. What is the situation.

He bent down and stretched his arms into the water, and splashed some water on his legs. He didn't seem to feel anything as the water slid over the wound on the back of his thigh, and he continued to try to squat into the water.

Perhaps because of the effect of the medicine, the wound didn't feel any special. He finally sat down in the water with peace of mind. The rough rocky bottom made people feel very solid.

He took a handful of water and washed his face. The water was a little green, as if there were a lot of algae, and it had a faint scent mixed with rocks and plants.

After soaking for a while, his whole body was a little soft, and Shazuo moved, wanting to plunge his head into the water to soak, but before he could stand up, he heard a voice from outside the cave entrance: "Vice-captain? Jiexiu?"

Someone probably came to look for Jiexiu, but it seemed that Jiexiu was not in the house. He was a little worried that the person would come down to find someone, so he stood up from the water, intending to get clothes to put on.

Jiexiu supported the rock wall with his hands, neither advancing nor retreating, he did not close the door on the floor behind him, this guy will definitely come down to find him...

Jiexiu was thinking about what to do, when a pleasant voice came from behind: "Vice Captain, are you going to take a shower? Don't say anything."

What a shame!

Jie Xiu saw that Sha Zuo, who was still in the pool, was startled by the clear sound coming in from the hole, and turned around suddenly.

Sha Zuo felt surprised and embarrassed. He stared at Jiexiu who was standing on the stairs and didn't know what to say. Although they are all men, is there something wrong with this vice-captain?Peek at a man taking a shower?

"I...it's...that..." Jiexiu was also very embarrassed, and quickly turned around and walked up, "You wash slowly."

As soon as he got back into the room, Jiexiu gave the little boy who was called Bai Fang a hard look: "Why, why do you have to rush down and scream!"

"I used to always go down." Bai Fang was also a little embarrassed. He didn't know why the vice-captain would peek at the new partner taking a shower, but he didn't have time to think about it. He had more important things to do, "Today someone discovered Ponka’s guards and hunting party seem to be gathering, I don’t know what will happen, the captain asked you to send more people to the tunnel.”

"Carnival day." Jiexiu frowned, once a year, Ponka is really free.
