Finding that Hayes seemed to be staring straight at her chest, the woman seemed to realize something and quickly backed away like a frightened rabbit, and screamed as Hayes continued to approach:
"Get away! Butcher! Stay away from me!"
They seemed to be in a closed space without a door. The girl retreated all the way to the corner and huddled up with her legs.
After inserting the lighting rod, Hayes stopped and scratched his head.
"You can talk, that's great. Are you from this place?"
But the other party didn't reply, just lowered his head, and Hayes immediately took a few steps forward.
"I am an imperial soldier, my name is Hayes. I have come to reclaim this world for the God Emperor. You have betrayed the empire. You can gain a short life by giving up resistance."
This was a cliché used on the battlefield to persuade surrender, but it was also the first time Hayes said it.
As a result, the other party spat directly.
"Bah! You are not here for the God-Emperor! The God-Emperor does not have damn butchers and executioners like you!"
"Hey! Who are you scolding? You were the one who attacked me first!"
"You came to destroy our home and capture us as slaves! What else do you want from us! Kneel on the ground and die!"
"We are here to liberate this place."
"Liberation? So? Why not liberate us?"
"Well--"
These problems are obviously beyond Hayes' cognition. He has always believed that these people refused to return to the empire, so they had to be eliminated. Of course, he had no contact with those who were killed by him. Most of them relied on other people and political commissars. and pastoral propaganda.
Hayes touched the scratches on his face, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"I don't quite understand. If you don't resist, wouldn't you be free?"
"No resistance? If we don't resist, we will continue to mine in the dark underground, or we will simply become servitors. It's you, what will you choose!?"
Hayes frowned slightly, and suddenly he heard a strange sound coming from the girl, and immediately realized that it was coming from her stomach because of hunger.
He walked over and sat down next to the other person while the other person was trying to shrink himself. Then he took out a ration bar from his pocket, folded it in half, and handed one half to the other person.
Before setting off this time, their leader was extremely benevolent to the death squad. Each person received three ration sticks, which in the past often only had one in a month or two.
"Woolen cloth."
The girl still hugged her knees, but tilted her head slightly, but did not take it.
"don't want?"
After a few seconds, Hayes shook the object in his hand.
"If you don't want it, I'll eat it myself."
Before he could take back his hand, the girl snatched the thing away from him at lightning speed, followed by the sound of rapid chewing.
Hayes then ate the sweet and almost cloying ration bars one bite after another. This is why soldiers like this stuff. Not only can they quickly replenish energy, but it is also one of the few sweets they have access to.
He had just finished eating when he heard a small sound beside him.
"Do you want to sleep with me?"
Hayes was stunned. It was impossible for him at his age not to understand this, but he was imagining the angelic faces of the medical nuns and secretly generating electricity.
For real, that is, listening to those guys brag about their brothel experiences. In short, he is still a virgin.
"No, it's not me. Why are you so sudden?"
"Mom has always slept with men in exchange for food. When you give me food, don't you want to sleep with me?"
Hayes shook his head suddenly with a dull expression.
"Ah no, I. I just saw you were hungry."
"Then I'm still hungry."
"Well."
Hayes looked at the few ration bars left in his hand and handed them over hesitantly.
“But I’ll eat this—”
Before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the other party. Hayes pursed his lips helplessly and could only take off the portable water bottle tied to his waist. Thanks to its good quality, this thing was not broken. No wonder Mr. Hachet It means that the hardest part of their body is the kettle.
After twisting off the lid and taking a few sips, Hayes felt much better. In fact, it was mainly because there was one more person, even if it was a literal enemy.
Then he threw the lighting rod high and found a dark entrance above his head, which should be where he fell, about two or three meters above the ground.
"This is the escape passage secretly dug by the miners when the Red Pirates still controlled the mining area. The upper passage was built into an S-shape as a buffer to prevent falls, so you didn't fall to death. This is a transfer station. The miners will secretly move their hands. Some unregistered supplies are sent here and then sent to the place of salvation below.”
Hearing the slightly hoarse and dry voice, Hayes turned his head and saw that the man had turned his face and lifted his dark brown hair behind his shoulders, revealing a soft curved face, thin lips, and a delicate and pretty face. nose, and big watery eyes.
Needless to say, it seems quite beautiful.
Hayes shook his head. He had heard of cases of abuse of women in some troops. Although none of the participants could escape a bullet, some people said that those were the unlucky few who were caught.
He then handed over the kettle.
"If your throat is sticky after eating that stuff, drink some water."
The girl hesitated for a while, then took the kettle, followed by the sound of gurgling water. Hayes tried his best not to pay attention to the other person's slender neck and the large area of skin under his neck.
He didn't know what was wrong, but he always looked at the other person subconsciously, and his body was still a little warm.
There is no third person in this place, and no one will know what happened——
Hayes shook his head vigorously, and then lightly slapped himself for having animalistic thoughts. He did not realize that several years of war had turned a boy into a young man.
At this time, the other party suddenly sent the kettle back and added something.
"I thought you had bad breath."
"Uncle Hashet always urges me to brush my teeth!"
Seeing Hayes' retort, the girl suddenly smiled, which stunned Hayes.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh. It would be great if the Imperial Army were all brats like you. We wouldn't have to hide like gophers."
"Well"
"Do you only have thirteen hairs? That's funny. Mom always said thirteen is a lucky number."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and touched the top of Hayes' head.
Although it was a pair of hands that had just tried to kill him, Hayes unexpectedly felt very comfortable, and because the other person turned around, his eyes unconsciously looked at the other person's chest. He, who had never received education, did not know How did this strange behavior of mine come about?
"May I have your name?"
"Ah, my, my name is Hayes."
"Hayes. My name is Galina."
Until this time, Hayes finally learned that this girl named Kalina was actually one year younger than him. She was just 19. Her mother used to be a teacher at an ordinary school in a hive city, but she was captured during a robbery by red pirates. If she left, she would only be sent to this mining world to work as a coolie. However, before she even started working, she was spotted by an overseer and made her his wife. She was said to be a wife, but in fact she was just a sex slave. However, not long after giving birth to Kalina, she The father died in an accident.
Without shelter, the lives of Jalina and her daughter quickly fell into trouble. You must know that this is a mine controlled by the red pirates, and it is impossible to support idlers. But fortunately, Jalina's mother discovered the place of salvation dug by the miners. It was a It was a secret place where the miners accumulated supplies and hid personnel, waiting for the opportunity to launch a riot and rebellion. Therefore, Kalina's mother joined these secret groups that still believed in the Emperor and gained basic protection.
But protection is one thing, but survival is another. In order to obtain food, Jialina's mother had to become a prostitute, selling her body to obtain food rations, and at the same time she had to spy for the organization.
