Abigail's family was carrying luggage. They didn't have many things to bring, but they couldn't just carry the bag.
"Our new residence is at the back of the quarantine area. It's time to move to a new place. The environment here is really not that good."
The middle-aged Sakaz man recognized his daughter's request, which surprised Abigail. She originally thought that it would take a while to get her father to agree. When she was at home, she was not as effective as her mother in speaking.
"Abigail, you have grown up. Maybe I should not treat you as a child anymore. When I was young, I could be the master of the house at the age of fourteen, and in a few months, you will be ten. Five years old.”
The father stopped what he was doing, as if he had made an important decision, and waved his hand: "Go and do your work. Don't stay here anymore. Your mother and I will get it done soon."
"Dad, I..."
"Don't leave work without permission. Just do what Dr. Cotterman says. Do you understand?"
After experiencing so much, the girl has grown up. She understands what her father means, but she is unwilling to move her legs because she is still a member of this family.
At this time, my mother also said: "Go and do your work, we can do it, you should do your thing."
"Wait a minute."
Abigail had no choice but to leave. After taking two steps, her mother's voice came from behind again. Her mother walked up quickly, took her daughter's arm, and lowered her voice: "Abigail, you have grown up. Your father and I both feel that you can take care of yourself, and if, and I mean if, you can leave the quarantine area, leave as soon as possible and don't come back again."
"Mother!"
Abigail's eyes widened, she didn't expect her mother to say that. Judging from the situation, she and her father had discussed it before.
My mother couldn't help but nag again: "Doctor Cotterman is a good man. It would be better if he could let you become an apprentice. It would also be good to be a doctor. You were smart when you were a child, so you can definitely succeed."
"Mom, I'm leaving then."
The girl couldn't stand her mother's nagging, so she turned around and left. She wanted to wait until night to go to the newly arranged residence. As for whether Dr. Cotman would let her be an apprentice, it was hard to say.
…
At this time, in the camp in the quarantine area, Silver Fox's face was covered with frost. She got up early and rushed here. Unexpectedly, the person involved ran away first, without even seeing his shadow.
"I might have to wait here until night?"
This is not good news. The environment in the quarantine area is really bad. Even clean drinking water is very scarce. Because the equipment is too old, there is almost no rainwater filter. Therefore, water use is restricted and food sources are even tighter. Not to mention How's the taste?
"A long time ago, the quarantine area was a living area for miners. There was an exhausted Source Stone vein nearby, so of course it was abandoned."
"Okay, I don't want to hear this from you."
Silver Fox waved her hand and interrupted the introduction of the entourage. She was not interested in the quarantine area.
Tapping his fingers lightly on the table and supporting his head with his other hand, Silver Fox raised his chin: "Where is Dr. Cotman's assistant?"
"Miss Abigail is still busy."
"Invite her over. I have some questions to ask her."
Fifteen minutes later, the Sakaz girl stood in front of the silver fox, looking at her anxiously. She heard that Dr. Cotman was this person's personal doctor. In other words, he was her boss's boss?
Silver Fox sat upright and said calmly: "How old are you?"
"Fourteen years old."
"So young? There is already a law in Victoria that prohibits child labor. Besides, you are still in school, right?"
"I……"
Abigail felt strange and didn't understand why Ms. Silver Fox asked this. She opened her mouth and was about to say something. Suddenly, there was a lot of people outside, and many people started shouting.
Looking from the outside of the tent door, I saw fierce firelight flying and thick black smoke rising!
"what happened?!"
The silver fox was startled, and when he rushed out of the tent, Abigail had already run away.
When the girl saw the fire, her head was buzzing and she lost her mind. She felt her heart beating wildly in her chest, and she felt like she was suffocating with every breath she took.
The place where the fire broke out was the former shantytown area, where many people packed their luggage and headed to their new place of residence. Only a few people left early.
"how so?!"
Abigail ran against the fleeing crowd and stumbled to the front of the shanty area. She saw a particularly ferocious steam mecha with a metal shell holding a weapon module. One side of the port sprayed out blazing flames, and the raging tongues of flames went from being fragile to fragile. of shantytown facades licked.
From time to time, walls collapsed. In the sea of fire harvesting life, there were still people screaming miserably. A burning man waving his limbs ran out of the fire scene, with a twisted figure, roaring in pain, and fell to the ground helplessly. struggle.
Abigail's eyes were red, and she rushed into the fire without looking back. Her eyes were filled with tears from the thick smoke, the hot air burned her throat and trachea, and the high temperature caused her beautiful long hair to dry up. curly.
The girl turned a deaf ear to all this. She desperately searched for something in the fire scene that turned into a purgatory. There were fires everywhere, and there were people who died before they could escape.
Boom!
The ground trembled violently. After being baked, the wall collapsed. A broken brick flew from the side and hit Abigail on the side of the face. The girl staggered two steps. Her left cheek was in burning pain, and even one of her eyes was hurt. Unable to open due to swelling.
She endured the waves of dizziness and ran forward a few more steps. Suddenly she saw half of the suitcase buried under the bricks.
At this moment, life and time became unimportant, Abigail's mind went blank, and there were no tears in the corners of her eyes because the water evaporated in the cruel high temperature.
She knelt on the ground weakly, her consciousness becoming blurred, and the flames engulfed her small body.
Invisible ripples spread out, and the blazing flames lay low around the figure like a forest sea blown by the wind.
…
"Why?!"
The furious Silver Fox pointed at a steam mecha. She had no idea that these things would appear here and cause such a terrible tragedy!
"Doyle, is that that bastard Doyle?!"
No one answered her question.
At this moment, in the middle of the horrific fire scene, something unusual caught her attention.
A swaying fireman came out. The moment he saw the steam mecha, he flew into the air, wrapped in fire, and instantly engulfed a war machine. The fire flowed like water and penetrated through the gaps in the mecha's shell. , burning the driver alive!
The miserable screams spread far away and were shocking.
Yin Huhai then took two steps back, not daring to get closer.
