章節 41: Fellowmen

"I got news." was the first thing she said as she re-entered the cave. Sheila stared, waiting for her to continue. "I found other survivors." Althea said, and Sheila's eyes brightened immediately.

"Are we.. going to see?"

Althea smiled, glad that this white rabbit was finally growing up. "Yes."

Of course, they would take a look first before making contact. Anyway, the smoke was in the way of the mountains, so she might as well check it out.

"I'll make sure not to be too friendly."

Althea nodded. "And don't be too showy of our supplies." Althea reminded her, and after a pause Sheila nodded in understanding.

Indeed, it's only been a day; everyone more or less still had supplies that could last a few days. Maybe it could last weeks if they managed to hoard enough. What about after?
