Kara pointed to the moonlit white ahead, where there was a little light, and her words were full of excitement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoSeven days in the desert where no one is around, but it seems like months have passed. Every day is an ordeal for her.

Packing up their things, Kara and Kasia's speed became brisk at this moment. Kara was too excited, while Kasia was just happy. The reason for the inhibition tube is that he can't open the cross pupil at will. So he didn't see the light in Kara's mouth.

The two of them were still some distance away from the light, and after more than half an hour of trotting, they saw the blazing white light under the rising moon. It was a rather large, high-pressure mercury lamp, hung high in the air by a huge iron pillar, and was now silently contributing light.

Standing on the sand dunes fifty or sixty meters high outside, Kasia and Kara had a full view of the station on their way through.

The station was huge, at least compared to the old station where they got off with only one tin house, and the supply station had five large houses on the ground level. The houses are connected in a straight line, and in front of them is an open lot, where three gray off-road vehicles are also parked.

On the outskirts of the station, the wedge-shaped sand control board made of steel plates and the building of the room follows the direction of the perennial wind in the desert, so although the sand control board is not high, it also plays a good role. This also allowed the sand control board in front of the station to accumulate over the years, and gradually built a high wall of yellow sand there, like a connected crescent-shaped mountain range, surrounding the entire station. The station is located just on the leeward slope of the dunes, and during the day, it can also protect against the scorching sun at certain times.

Kasia and Kara slid down the slope of the dunes, long dragons of yellow sand rising behind them, and the wind that did not stop was gradually becoming much lighter, but still forming a swirling air flow behind each dune.

The stony concrete floor beneath his feet had dried out huge cracks large enough to fit an adult into them perfectly, and was now filled with crystalline grains of sand. The station ahead was silent, except for a mercury lamp that had been hung high, and only the house in the middle was still lit.

"It's really lonely, or is it desolate. Kasia looked around, it was too quiet, and the sound of the wind was cut off by the high stacked sand dunes. There were some withered yellow plants around, and he saw that there was still the last bit of green in the clumps of low bushes, which were also about to wither.

"No, since it's a station, it must be built on the underground water veins in the desert. Those of us who hike through the desert may not have the slightest idea of how to get the water from the underground water veins, but when the station was built, the device that drew the underground water source was necessary. It stands to reason that there should be no shortage of water here. Kara touched the yellow leaves of the bush, which had a fine layer of yellow sand on them, and she spoke the same doubts in Kasia's mind.

"Maybe it's just because the management here is too lazy?" Cassia guessed, smiling, "and it's going to take a lot of effort to keep these shrubs evergreen in hellish weather like this." ”

"Perhaps. Kara also had a look of disinterestment. It's already a lucky thing to come across a station that's still in operation, and as for what the station is, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with them.

Are you still afraid that you won't pay for what you eat? Kara thought to herself, she still had 20,000 holy coins with her, and it should be enough to buy some basic canned food. Water must not cost money, this is a rule specially set up by the empire when it developed desert resources and built many station supply areas.

The lights in front were dim, perhaps only one light was turned on.

The room is made of steel columns mixed with cement, and an extra layer of walls is mixed in to insulate the temperature, so that the temperature is not too hot during the day and not too cold at night.

The door of the room was very well covered, and the glass on the side was frosted glass, so it was impossible to see the situation inside.

"What kind of design is this?" Cassia looked at the side of the glass window and felt a novelty, as he knocked on the door, an empty sound echoing around him.

No one opened the door, but it opened with very little force.

The light shone through as the door opened, and Kasia removed her mask. In the black pupils, the room is still designed like an old station, like the structure of a tavern. Inside, there were several badly worn tables and chairs, and on one side was what looked like a counter, where several cabinets about the height of the room were set up, on which were placed clean-wiped glasses, as well as various wine bottles and juices of various colors that appeared to be intact.

And on the edge of the counter, an old man of considerable age, with gray hair on his head, was sitting there looking carefully at the book placed in front of him by the bright light. Next to the book was a half-drunk glass, but next to the glass was a pot of plants so green that they seemed to have been painted with paint, and Kasia couldn't make out what it was. The room is filled with the aroma of alcohol.

The two walked in, and the old man looked up, his face half surprised, half stunned. Seeing other people in the desert seemed hard for him to imagine. Especially the two people in front of them are still very young faces.

It is nearly 2,000 kilometers deep into this desert, and 1,500 kilometers ahead is the center of the desert, the Gerun Oasis. But the deeper you go into the desert, the greater the danger and risk. The station was the first building in the desert to be built by the Empire. After this supply station, there is no such large supply station in the next area, and the small supply station is probably the end of the total annihilation. At least in recent years, because the resources on the periphery of this desert have been almost exploited, it seems that the Empire has no plans to continue to build new stations to replenish them.

After all, under the yellow sand, the wreckage of an unknown number of stations has been buried. When the benefits and costs did not want to wait, the empire decisively gave up here, and only the central oasis region is still rising.

"Hello, old sir. Kasia greeted the old man with something on her back, and Kara had already taken off her heavy belongings and placed them on the tables. The room was now heated and the temperature was just right, and Kasia felt unusually comfortable. That is the moisture of moisture, and the humidity of the air is also the most suitable state.

"Hello, brave young man. The old man took off the metal-rimmed disc glasses he was carrying, and the golden pupils in them still shone with wisdom, "I should say that I am lucky to meet other travelers here, or should I say that you are brave." ”

The old man smiled and stood up, and put the book away under the counter in front of him.

"You can call me Old Man Dorne. The old man went to the cupboard, took down the two empty glasses, and said, "Do you want something to drink?" The first three glasses are free, and after staying in this desert for so long, except for the coldest month of the year, when some tourists come, the rest of the time, it depends on luck to see other people. ”

"I want grape juice. Carla was not welcome.

"Why don't you have some wine? Old man Dorne poured a glass of dark purple juice, and Kasia took it and handed it to Kara.

"Me too. Along the way, Kasia took off his backpack as well, but instead of placing it on the table like Kara, he placed it in the corner of the wall by the window. There was also a huge potted plant, with some curly leaves that had not been pruned, and had grown rather messily, and was planted in an earthy yellow ceramic pot, the soil still moist.

The smell of earth was something that Kasia hadn't smelled in a long time, and moist moisture rose from the basin. Perhaps because of the closer, Kasia smelled something else from inside. The results of the surgery allow their sense of smell to be comparable to that of a military dog, and even as the surgical stage progresses, these basic abilities continue to increase.

It was a faint fishy smell, mixed with the smell of earth, and then mixed with the smell of wine in the room.

Kasia didn't move in the slightest, and even the movement of bending down to put her backpack was not affected in the slightest. He bent down a little closer to the pot, once again to determine if there was something wrong with his nose.

This time, however, his head moved slightly closer to the pot, and a semicircular piece of broken glass appeared in the corner of his eye. The glass was thick, missing a small half, and was lying quietly in the shadow of the pot. The ground was covered with dust that had not been cleaned for a long time, and the glass was in a brand new state.

Kasia, who stood up, thought for a moment, and when she took half of the grape juice handed by Old Man Doun, Kara had already gone to ask for a second glass.

I have to say that when the throat is extremely thirsty, it is indeed a pleasure to drink such delicious grape juice.

Drinking the rest of the juice in one gulp, Kasia walked over and asked for a second one.

Old man Dorne poured a glass full of clear glasses and spoke to Kasia and them in a kind tone.

"By the way, I don't know the name of the little brother yet. Old man Dorne handed the juice to Kasia, "Of course, the name of this beautiful lady, I wonder if I, the old man, will have the privilege of knowing." ”

Old man Dorne kept smiling happily.

"Of course, Kara. Carla replied. Old man Dorne nodded.

"Just call me Gulika. Kasia replied, turning back to his seat with his glass, already seeing an imperceptible smile suddenly rise from the corner of Kara's mouth.
