The setting sun, like a shattered disk of molten gold, hung on the edge of the rusted skyline, casting its final rays. The sky, like a yellowed, old photograph, was mottled and variegated.

They sat side by side, wearing tattered and colorful cloaks, their faces coated with a warm golden edge in the sunset.

The little boy was holding a sharpened short knife in his hand, cutting the first strips of meat he had obtained in a month.

The little girl was holding a patched doll, giggling as she ate the hard-earned food, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing for the unknown world.

They gazed at the setting sun together, letting the evening breeze brush across their tender cheeks, carrying away the dust.

At that moment, the soft light of the setting sun seemed to embrace them gently, stretching their shadows.

At that time, it was the original owner who was holding little Shen Nan.

And now, it was Shen Nan who reached out and pulled Shen Bei.

The two met again.

The dialogue is also very concise.

"elder brother."

"Ah."

One word per person.

The wind was very light at that time, and I was afraid that it would blow away a syllable and make the other person unable to hear it.

Needless to say, after more than ten years of separation, we met again unexpectedly. One word is enough.

Then Shen Bei said a few more words, mentioned Niu Ben, and fainted.

……

At this moment, Shen Bei shook his head and said calmly: "I don't belong here, and neither do you."

"We can join in."

Niu Ben counted on his fingers, tempting Shen Bei: "You may not know what Shelter No. 8 is. Let me explain it to you."

"The world of escape, the home of the top-tier Spider Queen!"

"Look at the medical equipment here. It's clearly an era ahead of other shelters!"

"I'm afraid only the entire church's shelter can compare to it."

"Also, from what I understand, your sister holds a high position in Shelter No. 8 and seems to have a close relationship with the Spider Queen."

Shen Bei rolled his eyes.

Can it be any lower?

At that time, the Spider Queen got off the car herself, squatted in front of little Shen Nan, and took her away hand in hand.

Shen Bei looked directly at Niu Ben and asked a crucial question: "What can you do in Shelter No. 8? You Wuchang may be impressed by your abilities, but the Spider Queen may not be."

"Don't you understand the principle of being the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix?"

Niu Ben gritted his teeth at Shen Bei's words, his cheeks twitching. "Actually, I have something else on my hands. It's something even more powerful than the Second Awakening Potion. If I take it out, the Spider Queen will have to meet me in person. This thing is—"

Teng sound.

Shen Bei suddenly lunged forward, grabbed Niu Ben's mouth, and growled softly, "Didn't I tell you not to expose your abilities so easily? What kind of place is this? What if there's a monitoring device?"

Niu Ben's pupils shrank, but he said nonchalantly, "I just relied on my own abilities to stay here, so what?"

Shen Bei stared at this idiot who didn't understand the ways of the world and the dangers of the wilderness.

"Are your things really yours? Are your abilities your own?"

Shen Bei sat down again: "No matter where you are, your life is not your own!"

Niu Ben was speechless and stunned.

There was silence for a while.

Niu Ben sucked on his popsicle: "Why don't you stay here? Don't you want to be with your sister?"

Shen Bei took a deep breath: "She doesn't need me to worry about her."

A simple sentence.

Niu Ben seemed to sense that complex and helpless emotion.

It's like an emotion that can't be cut or chopped, and it's a tangled mess that can't be described or seen directly.

Too complicated.

Niu Ben couldn't understand.

Shen Bei stood up and walked outside: "Get ready, let's go to where we should go."

……

Shen Bei walked out of the medical room.

There is a long corridor in front of me.

The ceiling is LED light, emitting soft light.

The power supply alone is enough to show that Shelter No. 8's resources are many times stronger than Shelter No. 36.
