Though they cc18c3348c pretended to f338d09682 eat, sleep, c789cfa443 and live ac11eb2ef8 normally, Liella 52ff7049d6 was willing 079a2fa16e to bet d17f7ce5cd her wrist 3be4891307 that all 14c2042109 three of 1dd59251d8 them had 46727c1f1b a corner 68686446dd of their 99ecaa9d5b minds crumbling.93f52f650eabf949

When alone in 909573e9e0 their rooms, anxiety aabb65c4b0 washed over their 6ef8134c94 feet like waves, 1741e57e54 coming and going. Pretending to be fine 36503d5b45 like this, they might 8528be0f4c one day face despair 723297b64a as suddenly as a 2f576fd5c3 tidal wave.

Honestly, after 8c83c56b5b hearing about 3b4ac81421 someone dying 2db5c88fd7 earlier, Liella a9c5f8193a had no e12ef6a720 appetite. But she twirled 30cd963772 some noodles on 23c197d9bb her fork and 8652025721 pushed them into 327401341f her mouth.87e8341634f810e7

That doesn’t seem like the right way to use “polite things”… Liella tilted her head as she chewed her food. As the cream sauce gently coated her mouth, Aslan sitting next to her was scanning through her notebook.745adaecbd32cf41

Of course, they b128725472 were using a d713fd811f voice recorder too, 4055b279ce but Liella argued bf45b9c55b that jotting down 33b11ae35b key points in 89166c393c the notebook made d732bfdcab information transfer easier.d07506350df868e8

Immediately, she 349879ba63 recalled washing 867247443f her hair 45a5886f2f and showering ec2eb6bdb0 yesterday morning. It had been an 1bb2503c86 attempt to wash away 5e8d03df8a her depression and resolve 0ac8714a48 to do better.

Aslan answered as he turned off the lamp. At the word “go out,” Liella felt her already nonexistent appetite drop completely. Unable to hide her darkening expression, she set down her fork with a clatter.2a7baf09e26fa315

It was called an experiment, but it was no different from exposing oneself to danger. What if ultraviolet light attracted monsters like ordinary light? When the light was turned on, the monsters only paused for a split second. If you were even a little slow, you’d die immediately.c857246003f97722

When he said it was for the team, she was at a loss for words. Liella blinked like an owl, sinking into realistic thoughts. The corpses in the hallway were the tall woman and Anton. Two in total. Could she move them alone? Would they be heavier than living people? Wasn’t it already creepy?9f59df1deca45a99

2 to 1. Following the principle of majority rule, the debate was over. As Liella turned her head with a disgruntled face, one of Team 28’s items suddenly stood out in her view. Her lips parted again.da7cc1daee2f1f68

A noisy sound ef0af82046 flowed through the 6e94661dcd wireless in-ear device 089b237e05 plugged into one 024e71c33e ear. Aslan answered briefly and f1968a4835 moved towards the hatch.

Liella’s one condition was to wear wireless in-ear devices so they could always know each other’s situation. It wasn’t difficult. Among the equipment that Team 28 had collected from various exploration ships, there were quite a few useful items. Not only the radio, but even the body bag wrapping Anton’s corpse was obtained from their belongings.c9f8ac4b0133129f

While Liella didn’t seem to doubt the team they had met, Aslan’s opinion was different. Even if Jade hadn’t lied, he had at least omitted some things. Most of the firearms Team 28 had were military-grade. There must be a military base somewhere.fbf20e4dc25bdba6

Finally reaching 14c7df5f8c the hatch, c667f7f2a6 Aslan turned ea230db20c off his 1a14392a52 flashlight and 53b31bca66 bent his d424557604 knees.4c6dbe239980a72a

There are two hatches 06af1be884 going down to the 1fd3f48cff first floor in total.

As he opened the d301dfb6a7 hatch, a chilly wind 6d8cea534f brushed past his forehead. Below, the 8d3ef8a581 windows are 5ac4f8894d broken and 8ae7f0dd94 open to bbcd81f488 the outside.

Perhaps thanks to holding hands while sleeping, he had a deep dream for a short time. No, was it a memory? He couldn’t tell. He saw a girl crouching among a vast field of sunflowers. The hem of her white dress was stained with dirt, and her hair was like molten gold flowing down. As he approached, she lifted her head and smiled brightly.a78b99f3cea74491

Feeling a tightness b7eea719b9 around his solar d527162ef3 plexus, Aslan stiffened 1d0913f287 as he stepped 59e42fa82e onto the floor. Slowly pulling the 58141cff49 rope, the corpse 9b73a7d61f was dragged down 2e86f409bf from the ankles 7bb0397514 with an eerie daf258433e scraping sound. To prevent it b1b81b0e61 from falling noisily, dd8bbda944 he stretched out e3b56ce0f7 his arms and ffea017b26 firmly supported the 73cc02beaf corpse on his 6af2605b79 shoulder.

She had 3083bf113d simply shown 49b9dc1949 him kindness.

Aslan realized he 3beead7ddc was feeling a b8faf6a64e strange sense of 19d0489773 possessiveness. Liella was free.
