Chapter Eight Hundred and Thirtieth Seventh Can Not Escape Loneliness

What a familiar scene. Catherine thought.

I don't know if the light in the room is too bright, or because the injury makes people feel in a trance, Catherine seems to have seen the snowy day when she was young. It was snowing that day, and the mountains were completely dyed, and everything was covered with a layer of white gauze. The sun reflected bright light on the snow, the light even hurt people's eyes. On that most splendid morning, the man said to her, "Let's live here from now on!"

This is a small village located under the snow-capped mountains. There are not many people in the village, and there are not more than thirty families. The villagers are very kind, at least there is no hostility or rejection towards outsiders. They even helped bring in the wood so that the man could build a log cabin in a clearing in the village. This small wooden house used to be the warmest house Catherine had ever lived in.

It was already winter when they arrived, and there was little food stored. The villagers shared their little food and helped Catherine and her two survive a long cold winter. When spring came, he began to participate in hunting, and went into the snow-capped mountains with hunters every day to catch those less dangerous beasts. So gradually, their lives began to improve.

Catherine also made a few friends of the same age in the village, and the spring time is happy. Although the children's food was not much, it was only enough to fill their stomachs. But they don't have to work. After preparing three meals a day, Catherine spends more time playing various interesting games with her friends.

Spring is also short, and summer is dangerous.

Those who live on the surface know that summer is the season when most dangerous species are most active, this activity lasts until autumn, and then winter is the least. There is almost no spring, and then it goes round and round, and the seasons go back and forth. By summer, children are forbidden to leave the village. Because outside the village, even in relatively safe groves, wolves or other dangerous creatures occasionally appear.

He still went into the mountains with hunters every day, and even began to play the role of lumberjack. All of this is just to make their lives better.

As they sat under the tree stumps in front of the cabin one starry night, he said, "Catherine, I'll take care of you. So you, just live happily."

Catherine still remembers that warm smile

Then on the second day, he went into the mountain, but he didn't come back until evening. That day, Catherine stood outside the house and waited until the sun set. It was not until the moon was in the middle of the sky that the hunter escaped. They ran into high-level dangerous species, and many people died. And he, in order to save the remaining people, resolutely led away the dangerous beast. Catherine listened silently, then went back to her room alone, and finished the dinner on the table in the darkness.

That evening,

The bread is so hard and the water is so cold. She was lying on the bed with a small body, and her heart was cold.

But a miracle happened, and three days later, he came back with injuries all over his body. Catherine remembers him patting her head with a bloody hand and saying, "Don't worry, I won't die until I see you grow up."

Catherine believed in his promise.

Then the days seemed to return to the original track.

The upheaval originated in the winter of the third year.

That morning, the sun was as bright as when they first arrived in the village. But the light was a little weird, and it was so bright that it made people panic. Just that morning, a huge figure appeared at the entrance of the village. Catherine froze after just one look. It was a beautiful, huge and majestic serpent. However, what it brought to the village was not good luck, but killing and blood.

All hunters joined the fight, and he was no exception. But the screams that kept ringing outside the house reminded Catherine that the situation was not good for the village. She didn't dare to make a sound, as she was still young at that time, she could only hide herself under the bed, hoping to see his figure again. Perhaps the prayers worked, and he did come back. But one arm was missing, dripping with blood.

Only the smile on his face remained warm, and he said to Catherine: "We have to go, this village is about to end. That is the King Snake, the Dark Dusk King Snake! We are no match for it at all..."

Suddenly there was a huge boom, and Catherine suddenly noticed that the light in the room suddenly brightened, and then the cold wind poured in mercilessly, blowing his hair wobbly. Then suddenly he was off the ground, and Catherine screamed. It turned out that the roof had been lifted by the king snake, and the giant snake bit the man's lower body and picked him up.

Even in the last moments of his life, he tried to keep a trace of warmth and keep the fear away from the girl for whom he was willing to give his life. He said, "I'm sorry, Catherine. I can't follow

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Keep our promise, you have to live. Anyway, live on, my daughter! "

Then the King Snake raised its head and engulfed the man in the huge mouth of the abyss!

Catherine stood up suddenly, and found that she was still in the medical room of the Grai mothership, not the village where she lived when she was a child. Then she noticed that there were hot liquids on both sides of her cheeks, and she smiled self-deprecatingly. Wiping away the tears calmly, looking at the repair machine, she said softly, "I thought I was used to being alone, but I'm still afraid of loneliness..."

Because I was afraid, I didn't want him to leave. Whether it's the father who can't remember his appearance, or the man who walked into his life now...

"I don't want to be alone anymore," she said.

When Allen opened his eyes, the nutrient base solution was gradually flowing through the drainage holes. He moved his body a little bit, and found that everything was full of vitality. The previous hidden wounds have quietly healed, and Allen only feels that his condition has improved from the last. Even if he ran into Karin now, he still had the confidence to face it head-on. After the top cover was opened, Allen flicked all the muscles on his body, and bounced off many sensors on his body.

He got out of the repair machine, and the light in the room was so bright that he almost closed his eyes. It took a while for his eyes to adapt to the light, and then he saw Catherine lying on the ground. From the girl's nose and mouth, traces of blue blood were slowly flowing out.

With a heavy heartbeat, Allen didn't care about dressing. With his feet on the ground, the person has already flashed in front of Catherine. He stretched out his hand to support Catherine, only to feel that the girl's body temperature was extremely cold, and only her chest was still slightly warm. Her secret wound was so heavy, Alan felt an unusually uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He took off Catherine's coat as quickly as possible, including her thin underwear, and sent her naked into the repair machine.

Allen grabbed the tactical board, looked at it for a while and found the option to start. The repair machine was restarted, and the nutrient base solution gradually flowed over Catherine, looking at the little face inside through the observation window on the top cover. Allen clenched his fists, and his nails even got embedded in his palms because of too much force.

"You'll be fine." He said, "Next, let me protect you."

At this moment, this sentence seemed a bit overreaching, but Allen said it without hesitation. As if responding to his thoughts, in the depths of his consciousness, every line of the natural disaster circuit flickered faintly.
