The successive changes in the colony left most people at a loss as to what to do. Previously, the camp had boosted the economy and provided many jobs. Both the big and small factions had begun to farm again. Although it had not reached the point where everyone could eat their fill, the number of people dying of starvation in the colony had decreased rapidly. Sometimes, not a single person had died of starvation for three to five days.
When the man's words fell into the girl's ears, she could no longer control her limbs. She stood there in a daze, looking at the man in horror. A trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
The girl was used to this. She stood quietly outside the wooden door and stared at it with a trace of desire in her eyes. Ten minutes later, the door opened again. The old man threw out two items and closed the door again.
The girl was sixteen years old this year. Other than her large black and white eyes, her body was dirty and had a foul smell. Her face was uneven and had something that looked like cuticles, as if she had a skin disease. A woman like this would not be noticed in the colony, because there were women who were beautiful enough to attract the attention of spies.
After saying that, the man did not say anything else. He chased after the girl, brushing past her and running in front of her. He turned around and looked at the girl's eyes, which were wide open from shock. Seeing the clear black and white in the girl's eyes, the man felt a sense of disgust that came from the depths of his soul.
One was the girl's cloth bag, which contained the parts that had not been selected. The other was a plastic bag. The transparent bag was thrown on the ground, and inside it were three rice balls the size of eggs.
An hour later, the girl smiled as she carried the bag of electronic parts. Around her neck was a telescope that only had half a lens left. With these things, she had a good harvest today.
At one end of the colony was the garbage dump. Here, all kinds of garbage were piled up like a mountain. Among the mountain of garbage, a girl in a gray T-shirt was rummaging through the mountain of garbage for various electronic parts.
The little boy, Jiangnan, was rather dull, remembering everything in his heart. The two little girls were more lively, running around non-stop, looking around the entire camp. The two little girls begged Yuan Yi to take them to the outside colony. Yuan Yi hesitated for a moment, but thinking that his current skills were not bad, he nodded and agreed, causing the two little girls to cheer.
As soon as the man's calm voice came out, the girl's footsteps slowed down, but she did not dare to turn around. She continued to walk forward step by step. Her posture was very strange. She swung her arms and raised her legs, as if she was running in slow motion.
The wooden door opened, and a bald old man stood at the doorway. When he saw the dirty girl, he frowned. He took the bag from the girl's hands and slammed the wooden door shut, making a loud 'bang' sound.
Seeing the rice dumplings, the girl was pleasantly surprised. She thought that she would only get two or one today, but she did not expect to get three.
The man also saw the girl. When he saw the girl's face and dirty neck and arms, he frowned slightly. Then, he saw the cuticles on the girl's face, and his brows suddenly relaxed. It seemed that the girl in front of him was very pleasing to the eye.
However, with the new round of annexation and challenges, the number of people dying in the colony every day was much higher than before. There were also many missing people. These missing people quietly disappeared from the colony. No one cared, and no one cared. They had already become used to it. After all, most of the missing people were lonely women or small characters that no one cared about.
"You saw it at the garbage dump?
Don't pretend, I know you saw it. Hehe … I didn't expect you to be so timid. You shouldn't have run. If you ran, I would have a reason to kill you.
After breakfast, Yuan Yi walked around the camp with the three children. He taught them Chinese and told them some things that they could understand.
The man's appearance was thin, not the kind that would appear after starvation for a long time. Instead, he was born with a sallow complexion. His clothes were relatively neat, although they were a little old, they were still very clean. His eyes were deep, and his eyeballs were the size of soybeans. They were also the same color as soybeans, and they were yellow and muddy. One side of his hair was very long, covering half of his face. As he walked, his hair did not move at all.
When the girl came to a shack that looked like it would collapse at any time, she gently opened the door and carefully slipped in. After a while, the girl took the organized electrical parts out of the door. Along the road of the colony, the girl came to a remote place. She knocked on an inconspicuous wooden door a few times and stood quietly at the door, waiting.
When the man said this, he reached out and curled up the long hair that covered his cheeks. A horrible face without skin, ears, and even eyelids appeared in the girl's eyes. The man was the perverted wax artist, Wang Rui.
Unfortunately, you are not the person I want to kill, but I have to kill you. Really … I hate killing ugly women. The only thing that can satisfy me is that you have a pair of beautiful eyes. Well … I will let you die painlessly. Consider it a gift from me, who is equally ugly … "
"You need to rest …"
The girl tried to stick to the corner of the wall, carefully avoiding every person who walked in front of her. Like a mouse crossing the street, she tried to hide herself in the shadows.
The two passed by each other. Suddenly, the man felt that the cloth on the girl's body was very familiar. He turned his head and saw a portrait behind the girl. It was the portrait of Brother Sharp. When he saw the portrait, a vague memory appeared in the man's mind, but he could not remember it. He opened his mouth to stop the girl. "Wait …"
As soon as she entered the building complex of the gathering place, the girl's big shining eyes suddenly changed. Her eyelids drooped down, covering half of her eyes. Her eyeballs were as low as possible, but no one dared to look at her. Coupled with her hairstyle that looked like a chicken's nest and the stench on her body, no one was willing to look at her more than once.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the girl threw away the cloth bag and ran away. Looking at the electronic components that were scattered in the air, the man suddenly thought of a place — the garbage dump.
The gray T-shirt had the image of a man frowning and smoking. It was Brother Sharp, who used to be very popular on the Internet. Now, it was so dirty that one could no longer see his eyebrows and eyes clearly. The girl was young, and her eyes were pure and bright. Her two black and white pupils wandered around the garbage dump. Every time she saw something she needed, her beautiful eyes would shine. Every time she did not find something that was intact, she would sullenly pout. After three seconds, she would encourage herself again and look for the next target.
Picking up the bag, the girl carefully took out a rice ball. She squatted by the wooden door and slowly ate it. She ate very carefully, deeply afraid that she would drop a grain of rice. Three rice balls entered the girl's stomach. The girl stood up and patted her stomach with satisfaction. She walked briskly back. After walking for less than three meters, a man walked toward her. Seeing the man, the hair on the girl's body stood up. She quickly lowered her head and leaned to the side, hoping that she would not attract the man's attention.
"You are too tired …"
