It's a familiar scene. Catherine thought.

Whether the light in the room was too bright, or whether it was because of the trance of the injury, Catherine seemed to see the snowy day when she was young. It snowed that day, dyeing all the mountains, and everything was covered with a white veil. The sunlight reflects a bright glow on the snow, and that light can even sting people's eyes. On that glorious morning, the man said to her, "Let's stay here from now on!" ”

This is a small village located at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and there are not many people in the village, and there are no more than 30 families. The villagers are very kind, at least not hostile or repulsive to outsiders. They even helped bring in wood so that the man could erect a wooden house in a clearing in the village. This small wooden house was once the warmest house Catherine ever lived.

It was already winter when they arrived, and there was little food to stockpile. The villagers divided their little food and helped Catherine and her husband survive a long winter. When spring came, he began to participate in hunting, and every day he went into the snowy mountains with hunters to catch those less dangerous beasts. Gradually, their lives began to improve.

Catherine also made a few friends of similar age in the village, and the spring time was happy. The food distributed to the children was not much, but it was only enough to fill their stomachs. But they don't have to work, and after preparing three meals a day, Catherine spends more time playing fun games with her friends.

Spring is also short-lived, while summer is dangerous.

Anyone who lives on the surface knows that summer is the season of frequent activity for most dangerous species, which lasts until autumn and then the least in winter. Spring is almost non-existent, and then the cycle repeats, and the seasons go on and on. By summer, the children were forbidden to leave the village. Outside the village, even in the relatively safe woods, wolves or other dangerous creatures occasionally appear.

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

One starry night, when they were sitting under a tree stump in front of the hut, he said, "Catherine, I will take care of you." So you, just live happily. ”

That warm smile, Catherine still remembers vividly.

Then the next day he went into the mountains, but did not return until the evening. Catherine stood outside the house that day and waited until the sun set, and it was not until the middle of the moon that the hunter escaped. They bumped into the advanced danger species and killed a lot of people. And he, in order to save the rest of the people, resolutely led away the dangerous beast. Catherine listened in silence, then went back to her room alone and finished her dinner on the table in the dark.

That night, the bread was so hard and the water was so cold. She lay on the bed with a small body, cold to the heart.

But a miracle happened, and three days later, he came back with a wound. Catherine still remembers patting her on the head with a bloodstained hand and saying, "Don't worry, I won't die until I see you grow up." ”

Catherine believed in his promise.

Then it was as if the days were back on track.

The upheaval originated in the winter of the third year.

That morning, the sun was as bright as it had been when they first arrived in the village. But it's a little weirdly bright, and it's so bright that it makes people panic. That very morning, a huge figure appeared at the entrance to the village. Catherine only looked at it, and then her whole body stiffened. It was a beautiful, huge, majestic serpent. However, instead of good luck, it brought the village slaughter and blood.

All the hunters joined the fray, and he was no exception. But the constant screams outside the house reminded Catherine that the situation was not good for the village. She didn't dare to say anything, she was still young at the time, so she could only hide herself under the bed, and desperately hoped to see him again. Maybe the prayer worked, and he returned. But an arm was missing, and it was dripping with blood.

Only the smile on his face remained warm, and he said to Catherine, "We have to go, this village is coming to an end." That's the King Snake, the Twilight King Snake! We are no match for it at all......"

Suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound, and Catherine suddenly noticed that the light of the room suddenly brightened, and then the cold wind poured in mercilessly, blowing his hair to the sway. Then he suddenly rose 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 ragged him.

Even in the last moments of his life, he tried to leave a trace of warmth and not let fear approach the girl for whom he was willing to give his life. He said, "I'm sorry, Catherine. I can't keep our promise, you're going to live. Anyway, live, my daughter! ”

Then the king snake raised its head and swallowed the man in the jaw of the abyss!

Catherine stood up suddenly, and found herself still in the medical room of the Gray Mothership, not the village where she had lived as a child. Then she noticed that there was hot liquid scratching off the sides of her cheeks, and she smiled self-deprecatingly. Yun wiped away her tears lightly, looked at the repair machine, and said softly: "I thought I was used to being alone, but it turned out that I was still afraid of loneliness......"

Because he was afraid, he didn't want him to leave. Whether it's the father who can't remember his face anymore, or the man who has now come into his life......

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

When Alan opened his eyes, the nutrient base was gradually flowing through the drainage holes. He moved his body a little, and found that there was a lot of life everywhere. The previous dark wound had quietly healed, and Eren only felt that he was in a better state than he had been. Even if he runs into Karin now, he has the confidence to face it head-on. After the top cover was opened, Allen's muscles flicked all over his body, and many sensors on his body popped open.

He got out of the repair machine, and the room was so brightly lit that he almost closed his eyes. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the light, and then she saw Catherine lying on the ground. From the girl's nose and mouth, a trace of blood with a blue halo was slowly flowing out.

His heart was beating heavily, and Alan couldn't care about getting dressed. With his feet on the ground, the man 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 the chest was still a little warm. Her dark wound was so heavy that Allen's heart swelled with an extremely uncomfortable feeling. He untied Catherine's coat as fast as he could, including her thin underwear, and sent her naked into the repair machine.

Alan grabbed the tactics board and looked at it for a moment before finding the option to activate. The repair machine restarted, and the nutrient base gradually overflowed Catherine, looking at the little face through the viewing window on the top cover. Alan clenched his fists, and his nails even got into his palms because they were so hard that they were so hard.

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

At this moment, this sentence seemed a little self-sufficient, but Allen said it without hesitation. As if in response to his thoughts, in the depths of his consciousness, every line of the natural disaster circuit flickered faintly.
