After all, where have I seen you

People from the North Island rarely go to the South Island.

If Sato Ryota didn't think it would be better to talk to Ney face to face, he would definitely not go. Brother Ney's original residence was next door to him, and also next door to the residence of Taehyung and Kim Jung Woo: 1201, Block F.

But that house has been vacant all year round, and Brother Ney has not lived there for a few days. To be precise, his days in North Island are only a handful.This time, after finally completing the task, he came back from China, but stayed in the South Island all the time.

He is a special body, the envy of all Beidao children.He was neither born nor raised in the North Island, nor has he lived in the North Island all year round.But he also holds an important position in the North Island, and is the minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the largest department in the North Island.He is an extremely important figure to the entire new world.

Four years ago, Ney was formally assigned by the organization to carry out tasks in China. In fact, it was not an assignment, but an exchange. Ney seemed to put forward some conditions, or agreed to go to China for his own personal purposes.

Before going to China, he spent most of his time in Manhattan, New York, USA, working at Columbia University.It is also his freedom to run around the world in his spare time. Sato Ryota doesn't know exactly what Ney is doing in the United States.He knew Ney when he was very young, but he didn't see him often.As he gets older, Ney will appear in the North Island every three or two years.

However, the house in District F 1201 has been reserved for him.

It stands to reason that going to a certain area to complete the task of transferring newcomers can generally be completed within one to two years.But Brother Ney spent four years, and Sato Ryota didn't know the specific reason.Anyway, he didn't believe it because Brother Ney was not capable.I heard that if it wasn't for the urging from above, Ney might continue to spend there.A few weeks before the end of the mission, both myself and Brother Zhengyu were sent to China to assist him.

Sato Ryota went to the place called Xiangzhangshan Hospital, and he didn't understand why Ney had the patience to stay there for four years. It is said that he was still lurking as a cleaner.In such a bitter environment, how did Ney survive for four years, how did he survive for 460 days and nights, and spend those boring days.Doing cleaning work during the day and adding new people at night, day after day, there is no art and culture of the North Island, no brothers and friends to talk to.

Starting from the Ministry of Security in the south of the North Island, and then take a boat for about half an hour, you can step on the land of the South Island.It was nearly dusk when Ryota Sato arrived.The afterglow of the setting sun hit the sea, but it did not sparkle.Looking closely at the South Island, which is two-thirds smaller than the North Island, no matter how similar it looks to the North Island, Sato Ryota will unconsciously think of two words: desolation.

The South Island is long and narrow, shaped like a misshapen peanut.The sunken part in the middle is the closest place to the North Island, and it is also the place where ships from the North Island come ashore.The area in the middle is the residence of the Austronesians, the half "peanut" on the left is the industrial area, and the half "peanut" on the right is the agricultural area.The entire southern coast and remote areas of the South Island are covered with countless wind turbines.Their fan blades are blown by the sea breeze every day and rotate rapidly, and the electricity generated is used by the north and south islands.

Wind power is indeed environmentally friendly and energy-saving, but the most unbearable thing is the noise pollution it produces.The fan hums day and night. When the wind is low, it sounds like an airplane taking off. When the wind is strong, it will even neigh, like howling ghosts and wolves.During the day, it makes people feel uneasy, and in the dead of night, it makes it difficult to sleep.

Fortunately, the North Island is still half an hour away by boat, and only a small number of areas in D and E will be disturbed by the noise of wind turbines, but that is not in the residential area, but on the coast closest to the South Island.

Sato Ryota couldn't bear the buzzing, and after landing on the shore, he strode forward, the road surface was dilapidated, and when he stepped down, the broken stones splashed like water.Not long after walking, the original white shoes were covered with dust.There is even a layer of soil on the edge of the trousers.

After walking for a while, Sato Ryota stood still and looked around, and a large area of ​​crude buildings like resettlement houses appeared in front of him.That is the residential houses of the Austronesians, rows of rows of low buildings.The walls are only as high as the door, with uniform size and uniform style, and a lot of messy clothes are dried on the ropes randomly set up outside the house.

This building made Ryota Sato feel that this was the place where the Allied forces placed Japanese prisoners of war.

Sato Ryota continued to walk there, as far as his eyes could see, only those clothes were blowing in the wind, no one, no sound, a desolation.

If I had known this, I should have asked about Ney's whereabouts when I disembarked. Although the South Island is small, it also has the size of a small city. How can I find someone in such a messy place?There is no means of transportation, the road has not been repaired, and the most unexpected thing is that there is not even a passer-by.He thought that when he got here, he would grab someone and ask her, "Where is Brother Ney?" No matter who that person was, he would obediently go to Brother Ney's side.

Because they are people from the North Island!

The setting sun was slowly falling into the sea, and the sky was getting colder and colder. Sato Ryota looked at the women's clothes hanging on the rope to dry.In fact, apart from the smaller size, from the style point of view, it is impossible to tell whether it is a women's or a men's style.Because they are all dark-colored work clothes, let’s say he washed them and dried them there, there are obviously many spots and spots on them, and it is estimated that they will not be cleaned no matter how they are washed.Ryota Sato looked in the direction of the rope with his hands behind his back. Some of the clothes were not washed clean, but also had holes!

"Simply!" Sato Ryota sighed and shook his head, showing disdain.After staying there for a long time, the sky was already dark, Sato Ryota really had no patience to wait in this wild place, the wind was strong and cold, making his face hurt. "When will this group of people be willing to go home!" He looked up and saw more and more stars covering the sky.

In order to avoid the cold wind, Ryota Sato tried to open the doors of each room, but the doors of each room were locked tightly.Moreover, the door locks of these houses are all mechanical locks, not smart locks, and Nakamoto from the Ministry of Science and Technology cannot help unlock them.

"Isn't there a sister who forgot to lock the door?" Sato Ryota stomped his feet and complained. In desperation, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the window.Each room is the same size, with the same door and window.

There is no one who forgets to lock the door, but someone who forgets to close the window, right?Sato Ryota began to try to touch the windows one by one.
