Pollution 4

Black insects still scurry around here, but their numbers are much fewer than in the outer perimeter.

Arriving here, the figure carefully lifted the luminous stone blanket, revealing a dirty little face.

Lin Yiyi shifted her lame leg and felt the tumor on her back tighten and sting from the long journey, but she was used to it by now.

Compared to these burdens, she was more curious about Yu Hong's campsite.

Even through the fence, she could see another circle of stone walls inside.

The walls weren't tall, and with her height, she could barely make out the scenery inside.

Three small wooden houses surrounded a wooden pole hung with an electric lamp, its bright white light radiating down from the top of the pole, offering a faint sense of security and warmth.

Although she knew the light couldn't provide actual warmth, a sense of comfort irresistibly welled up inside her.

The light was also key to suppressing the number of black insects nearby.
