"Is that so?"

"well……"

"Now only Ali and her daughter are left, what should we do?"

"What can be done?"

"Just do whatever you have to do. Isn't this the fate of us mortals? Otherwise, what else do you think you can do?"

"How many years do you think our brothers can live for?"

"Too!"

While the men were talking a lot, inside the small house, little Ali was staring at the man with tears in her eyes who had just been carried to her home by the workers and uncles outside. She couldn't say a word for a long time.

.

Yes!

Her father, the man who used to work with the uncles who worked outside on the cannon deck, finally collapsed in an accident and was poisoned by poisonous gas.

It is said that he was still alive when he was rescued?

However, the boatswain did not give him any treatment, and just had him carried back directly. Then she, like the others, could only watch in vain and helplessly as he slowly died in front of her and her mother.

Dying in pain.

"..."

At this time, her mother was sitting silently in the corner of her small house like a zombie, her face as gloomy as the corner she was in.

From the beginning, she never said a word, let alone comforted Ali, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

??????????.??????

Outside, the neighbors and uncles who were watching continued to discuss something in whispers, and from time to time they peeked into the house.

"..."

However, little Ali heard it.

They were talking, it seemed that one of them had just reported that the person had died, and then the other said that someone would come later to take away the body, that is, the man, her father, who had died forever.

The most important people below were carried away.

As for where it was carried and what it was used for, no one dared to ask, because they would not answer if asked.

Anyway, Ali knew that it was definitely not for burial, because unlike the Huagai Planet, there was no such so-called cemetery here.

Maybe……

Will his body be randomly discarded into the universe?

Maybe……

Will it be thrown into the battleship furnace and burned as fuel?

or……

Is it used for some other purpose that is not disclosed to the public?

Anyway!

In any case, Ali knew that this was the last time she and her mother saw him. Just like the parents of many friends, she was actually not unfamiliar with this kind of thing, but she didn't expect that it would be their turn so soon.

"Why did you lose the fight..."

"Sister Anne, you are really useless..."

After a long time, Ali suddenly muttered something like this to herself.

You know, originally she was still thinking that after the Primarch Horus defeated the battle, her family could be captured and taken to the Canopy Star, and then live a good life, and then let her parents see and eat the food they had never had.

Something good that I have never seen before.

But now...

"Why did you lose..."

Ali, who was somewhat unable to accept the reality, muttered to herself again, and then continued to lower her head and look at the goldfish bowl in her arms with tearful eyes.

At this time, there was only the last goldfish left inside. Although it still looked colorful, it looked so weak that I didn't know how long it could last.

She had heard about it. Although she didn't know the specific situation, she only knew that Hua Gaixing disappeared a few days ago.

It is said that it disappeared.

Perhaps, that beautiful planet, that planet with many interesting animals and many delicious and fun things, has been shattered by macro cannons, right?

That's definitely the case.

Because Ali knew that the fleet of the original body often did such terrible things, and the disappearance of the planet only happened after the Emperor came to the Taiwei system, so she felt that things must be like that, that they must have been shattered.

.

"??"

At this time, bursts of commotion suddenly sounded outside.

Then, in addition to the sound of the vehicle's engine, there was also the sound of metal boots stepping heavily on the dirty and water-filled deck.

"..."

So, Ali, who was thinking wildly, subconsciously raised her head, and with tears in her eyes, she happened to see her mother standing up and walking out with a numb expression, as if to talk to someone outside, begging and saying something in a low voice.

What.

"..."

Ali knew that the person who recovered the body must have arrived, and they even brought soldiers, just like what she had seen before when she joined in the fun.

Now, compared to her friends, they are also hiding in the distance watching the excitement of her house, right?

So, she lowered her head again with some grievance, and then took a deep look at the shriveled and motionless man with messy white hair on his head.

Once upon a time, she always thought he was amazing...

Because he is very strong, he can lift her high, he can carry her on his shoulders and run around on the sewage-filled deck streets, he can also fight with those bad guys who bully her and steal her things, and then return the favor.

He could come back covered in bloodstains and filth and say with a smile that he had won the battle.

Although he probably didn't win at the time, that didn't stop her from blindly worshiping him and thinking that he was her hero.

But now...

She suddenly realized that he seemed not as powerful as she thought.

For example, now, he seems to be very tired. The wrinkles on his brow are as deep and as numerous as the cracks in the street deck outside. Moreover, he seems to be less than thirty years old, and his hair is already as thick as those of the oldest people on the street.

Old men in their forties are equally white.

However, no matter what, in her impression, it seemed that he shouldn't have become like this so quickly and lay motionless on the bed. Why did he suddenly stop?

Ali didn't understand this and couldn't figure it out.

"Ally..."

Finally, when Ali was thinking with her head down and puzzled, her mother came in and called her softly in a frustrated tone.

"??"

Hearing this, Ali slowly raised her head.

Then she was shocked to discover that her mother's wrinkles on her face had become deeper, her hunchback became more severe, and her hair became more gray. She was actually looking like the one lying on the bed in front of her.

Is that man almost there?

"..."

Looking at it, for some reason, fear suddenly began to shrink around Ali, making it almost difficult for her to breathe.

Then, the few tears fell down the pale and thin cheeks again, leaving another fresh mark.

"Ally..."

"It's time for him to leave."

After saying that, her mother didn't care about Ali's reaction. She just took one last deep look at the motionless man, then numbly moved away, signaling to the people outside the door that they could come in.

"etc!"

"please wait a while!"

Finally, when she saw the two people wearing familiar uniforms outside the door striding in like menaces, Ali finally broke out and shouted hysterically to stop the two men with menacing expressions, and then came in with a look of disgust.

Bad guys who want to carry people away.

"Ally..."

Seeing this, her mother hesitated and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she stood there numbly and indifferently, with no intention of stepping forward to interfere or comfort.

"..."

Ali didn't explain this either. She just stubbornly squeezed past the two bad guys in the small room, then leaned against the bed board and took one last look at the man.
To be continued...
