บท 927: Escaping From War

Juno Village, a few days prior 

Not long before the heat wave ended, more and more people had reached the end of the rope. 

Among these people was the beautiful—or at least she was—Hana. 

At this time, she held onto Tim, her new boyfriend, who helped her keep going. 

Like everyone else, they were pale and thin as skeletons. The pains of hunger and thirst had already made them numb and weak. 

"If we had known things would be like this, we would've escaped the territory as soon as the enemies announced the attack." 

"We should've escaped even before the heat wave," another said. "Like Eve and the others."¹

They said this in regret, hearts filled with 'what-ifs', but they were too afraid to do much at the time. They were just thankful they didn't become slaves like the others.
