Chapter 46
After leaving Kerry's tomb, Saul and Garland returned to the wooden house to pack their things. Whether they admitted it or not, the four-member team could no longer maintain it from the moment Kerry was polluted. What's more, Regis' performance was also very doubtful.

It is said to pack things, but in fact, because it has been patronized by thieves, there are not many items that can be carried. After all, the mine has been closed now, there is no need to go to the mine, and even the debt has been forgiven. It can be said that as long as the cargo ship arrives, or the Stewart sets sail, life on this island can be ended.

The two left the wooden house where they had lived for a long time and went to the trading market with a few pieces of clothing.

Going forward along the trading market, after passing the gate guarded by the guards, the two came to the residential area. Since every time they went to the garrison station on the island, they had to pass through the residential area, so Shao had a little understanding of this place. He looked around and found a house assigned to him by the inspector, a stone house with doors and windows.

He walked over and opened the door with the key. When the door opened, there was no loud creaking sound anymore.

Although the light is not bright, but because of the bright lights outside the window, the layout of the house can still be seen clearly. Two bedrooms and one living room are clean and tidy, enough for two people to live in.

"Sure enough, it feels completely different." Garland walked into the house and looked around. For him, this kind of thing was only a dream. He never thought that he would live in the residential area of ​​Stewart Island. If he could save so much money, the first thing he would do would be to leave the island.

Some miners came to this island with the dream of getting rich. However, after arriving, they discovered the gap between ideal and reality.

The rewards used on Stewart Island are special banknotes. Compared with the more commonly used gold and silver coins on the mainland, they are very light, and there is no psychological burden to use them. Although the army stationed on the island gives the miners a lot of money, the price of daily supplies on the island is also high. What's more, there are various temptations and dangers that test the minds of the miners.

Most of the people who can really make money on Stewart Island are businessmen who come to do business. Only a very small number of miners can resist the temptation of a boring life, save enough money to repay debts and interest, and then take a monthly cargo ship to leave this isolated island in the sea.

Another group of miners are in a more difficult situation. They were trafficked to the island by profiteers. Their debts are heavier and their physical condition is worse. It is not easy to survive on the island. Kerry is one of them.

"Saul." Garland turned his head to look at Saul who was still standing at the door, "Our identities are different now, should I..." He hesitated for a while, then continued: "...Call you by another name?"

Saul knew what Garland meant. He shook his head and replied, "No, you can always use this name." He knew that due to today's incident, if he continued to talk more, it would lead to counterproductive effects. He might as well find a way to leave the island first. If there was no gold curse, he might find a way to help Garland get a job as a guard. But now, the job of guarding is not safe, because no one knows why the gold that should have been sealed in the mine appeared in Kerry's hands. These mysteries have not yet been solved. untie.

"Yeah." Garland nodded and didn't say any more, but the tone of this voice was more accepting than expressing, like... If Sauer asked him to change his name, he would do as Saul asked.

"Go to the street to buy some things first. I have advanced this month's salary." Sauer didn't dwell on this issue any longer. He knew that the reason for the estrangement was not only the difference in status, but even that this was not the main reason. The real reason was Kerry's death and what he did after facing Kerry's mutation.

Are you still human……

Regis's evaluation at that time came to his mind, and he clenched his hands unconsciously. If he hadn't dealt with it calmly at that time, but he still regarded the mutated Kerry as himself like Regis, or if he was unwilling to do anything because of his past relationship like Garland, the people who died now are definitely not only Kerry, but also him, Garland, and Regis who rushed over.

No matter what, after I came to this world, it was Galan who saved me. If it wasn't for him, I would have died in the mine. Therefore, this kind of thing must not happen to Garland. No matter whether it is considered unfeeling or stalking, I will take him out of this island safely.

Shaoer thought to himself, and then he turned his head and looked outside the house. Compared with the wooden houses that need to be guarded, in this planned residential area, you only need to close the door, and you basically don’t have to worry about theft.

"Although there are only four days left, it is safer to buy a week's worth." Sauer said softly.

"It's all right, you can decide." Garland replied.

After the purchase was over, the two returned to the house and slept in their respective rooms. Today was exhausting enough, and soon Saul fell asleep.

……

"Master Saul, Master Saul!"

There was a loud knock on the door.

Saul opened his eyes, got up quickly, put on his clothes, and after taking his sword, he went to the door and opened it. A guard stood at the door, very anxious.

"Again, the polluted miner appeared again." The guard said hastily after seeing Saul.

"Where is it?" Saul asked.

The guard pointed in the direction of the trading market, "It's on the street."

"Take me there." Sauer frowned, and did not return to put on the light armor. Facing the polluted miners, he had to deal with it as soon as possible. The longer it was delayed, the greater the harm would be. It might even infect other people. That's why the inspector entrusted Sauer to deal with the polluted miners.

Shaoer followed the guards to the trading market. As soon as he entered the outside of the trading market, he saw the crowd running away, screaming, and not far away, several guards with long guns were slowly retreating.

"It's right there," said the guard beside him.

Saul walked over. He stood behind the spear guards, looked beyond the guards, and looked not far away.

In the middle of the shop outside the trading market, there was a strange-looking person writhing on the ground. This person seemed to have no skin, and his bright red muscles were completely exposed. What was even more strange was that this person's legs were twisted together, as if he was born this way, like a legendary mermaid.

The nearby merchants and customers had already fled, and compared to the situation when Kerry mutated, it was much better.

Sauer's eyes searched around, looking for traces of gold, but he didn't see any golden objects.

"Quick, leave quickly." Seeing Saul, the guard with the spear shouted, "If you get too close, you will lose your strength. Let the inspectors come over! We can't deal with it!"
