The bright star was gradually setting in the west. He looked at the fruits of the short day's hard work and had no time to feel sad. He had to return to his residence as soon as possible, otherwise he would risk freezing to death if he stayed in the wild overnight after dark.
His shabby house is not far from the forest farm, separated by a wide stream.
The nearby melt water from the glacier has washed out a wide long stone beach. The "Tule" military factory built underground continuously discharges heat to the ground, forming a geothermal hot spring water that merges into the melt water from the glacier and snow. This makes this place Tiaokuan River occasionally flows in the coldest season. It is not yet frozen for thousands of miles, but the white boulders beside the stream are already covered with snow, making the scenery look cold and desolate.
Although it is inaccessible, hundreds of years have allowed the "Tule people" to use quarried white glacial stones to build a stone road that can be passed without running water, but it is difficult to jump over the stones.
The water volume of Kuan Creek changes very rapidly. Kalki found that when he came in the morning, he didn't need to touch the water, but when he returned home, he was almost dripping with water.
Carrying a heavy pile of firewood, he bravely waded through the water.
The water was very cold, but he was only worried that his only pair of shoes would be flooded by the water, and he had to dry the shoes by a fire at night... He was distracted and slipped into the stream from the wide round stone top. He had amazing physical strength and was carrying a pile of firewood on his back. , fluttered a few times, and quickly climbed to the shore.
"It's all wet, it's all wet..." On the shore, he checked the huge bundle of firewood and found that more than half of the firewood was soaked.
The evening breeze blew through, chilling his water-soaked body. What was colder than his body was his heart. The firewood had to be dried again before it could be exchanged. Those Gaia prisoners of war who used it to secretly cook illegal food were very shrewd and used to it. Bullying those Platonic exiles who humbled themselves for supplies.
This was just the fruit of a day's work, but it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. He was so angry that he held his head in his hands and looked back at the dilapidated wooden house built high up. In the darkness of the sky, it was as dark as a monster squatting. The hillside is not his home. He is a person without a home.
Tears burst from his blue eyes. Compared with this, all the previous crying was hypocritical. At this moment, he realized that he could not live anymore.
After living reluctantly and painfully for more than a month, Kalki knew that today was the last day.
"The thorns on the ground are disgusting. This filthy life. I want to fly to the sky and touch the immortal stars again. My friends have been waiting for me for too long..."
As he spoke, he pulled out the thick hemp rope that bundled the firewood and took it up the lush forest on the hillside.
The branches of various spruce, red pine, silver birch, giant maple and beech trees with snow were intertwined above his head. The forest became darker and darker, but he could only think of the happy days of his childhood, and he even suddenly remembered his caregiver. Tamar's smile.
Finally, he found a rock pine with a weird posture among these towering trees that were more than ten meters high. He continued to look for branches that could bear his own weight and had a suitable shape. Then, he used his frozen hands to tie a very tight rope with great effort. He then tied the knot and threw it onto a pine branch, fixing it firmly. Then he looked around for a stone with a suitable height to stand on. He felt that he was about to freeze. It was so difficult to even hang himself in this damn place.
Who could have expected that a proud and arrogant warrior like him would die like this? Kalki put his head into the ring and involuntarily stepped his feet so that his slender and strong neck could be locked in place. He closed his eyes and didn't
Looking at the desolate and bleak scenery in front of him, he wanted to go to "Urustiva", where his paradise was.
Finally, he kicked the stepping stones under his feet hard.
A small official ship flew over the snow-covered mountain peaks, emitting a beam of ground cleaning energy from under the ship's hull, clearing out the entire landing area. The thick trees collapsed with a loud noise, and some large trees fell from the side of the hillside.
, almost causing a chain reaction of the collapse of thick trees. The outer shell of the spacecraft was painted with the coat of arms of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - a blood-red "Wheel of Fortune" with 10,000 characters deformed.
A large branch flew down from above and hit the rock pine with a "bang". After more than ten seconds, the shaky thick pine branch broke.
Kalki was thrown to the ground heavily and hit his head on a rock. Stars were shining in his eyes, his throat was tight, he couldn't breathe for a moment, his mind went blank due to lack of oxygen, and his limbs were so weak that he could not stand.
It wasn't until the robot guard shone a hand-held searchlight beam on him that he blocked his sight with his hands in horror, moving as stiffly as a zombie.
"Are we on the verge of a suicide?"
"Hahaha, her husband was once the grand leader of the White Tiger Knights, my God! How did it become like this?!"
"What a miserable mandarin duck, I sympathize deeply, haha."
It was the voices of three women talking at once, and the sound waves penetrated into his confused and hard-of-hearing cochlea like sharp spikes. He tried hard to wake himself up completely, tried hard to shake his stiff body, and stood up, feeling a sense of shame.
However, nothing can be more humiliating to a general than attempting suicide two or three times.
He took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark and saw the people coming clearly. They were wearing straight dark red uniforms and looked extremely strong and strong. There were too many uniforms in Plato's various units, and many of them looked like he had never seen before. They
He looked at him in dirty warm clothes with a straightforward and frivolous gaze, trying to find the knightly handsomeness that this noble man should possess.
For the first time, he saw the aggressiveness of female predators in nature in women. Those young palace maids who put on their veils and ran away in a whimpering voice when they saw the grand leader approaching were not real women. They were not like real women.
I am also being kept in a false paradise of perfection.
"Look at you shivering from the cold." Under the command of one of the black-haired female officers who seemed the kindest, an intelligent robot assistant threw him a thick blanket so that he would not freeze to death.
"Are you Kalki who lives at point B81 of Hallstatt? We have brought you a new exile. According to the law, you can live together." The leader was a tall and sturdy fifty-year-old black man.
The skinned woman raised her head proudly.
Kalki, half covered with a blanket, watched in amazement as the three goddesses of fate seemed to judge his future at will. Seeing his surprised look, another woman with reddish hair explained: "We are from the re-education camp management office.
Educator, we brought your wife here from the Yakant re-education camp in the 'Stvar Ring' to be exiled with you."
"After she violated the maternal and child law, she refused to make any compromises. She regarded herself as the wife of a senior military officer and had an arrogant attitude. She made waves in the Yacante re-education camp several times and tried to escape, causing a bad impact. We determined that she had become a
She is a heinous apostate, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs approved our exile to Thule."
