Chapter 21: The Attack

Matthew was caught up with thoughts. Seeing Robin's face on that man's face made him feel happy and sad at the same time. He would love to see him again and tell him about this crazy new world but Matthew knew it wasn't possible. He watched the man sit down on the floor and two other men joining him, starting a conversation right away.

Matthew heard Helen's voice. "Inna!" Helen waved at her.

Inna came and sat down with them. She was walking slowly and holding her stomach.

"What happened?" Matthew asked.

"I'm hungry. I already ate the vegetable paste but it's not enough!" She complained.

"Well, hunger is not something to get used to," Helen said.

The temperature got colder over time. The sun was setting and there was a breeze. All of them felt the chill.

"Rex hasn't returned yet?" Inna asked.

"No, we hope he didn't get into any trouble," Matthew said.

"I think he's coming," Helen pointed at Rex, who was walking towards them fast and had a grumpy expression on his face.
