"This is a trap!" He gasped. "They ran deliberately, knowing that as soon as they left we would bump it into our car."

He stopped suddenly and tried to remove from his shoulders. The needle and thread gun blinked at him. He coughed and fell on the beach.

The gun blinked again, spitting out a bright light at the girl. She fell down like a falling doll.

Li Badi supported his knee with one hand. There is a hole in his chest as big as a fist, but there is no pain. The high-energy radiation from the needle gun burns the nerve endings, so there is no sensory transmission.

The blacksmith shook his fist, the local man shrank under the car.

He cried out: "This time you got us." "But we will come back again. You can't lick us. If another million years pass, we will get yours." Make the wise man lifted from the mud The motivation to get up is in his voice.

His head began to swim. He took another deep breath. Beside him, the girl was completely silent. Only her eyes showed that she knew what was happening.

Li Badi looked at her. He still has something to say. His mind is confused, it is difficult for him to find words.

He finally said: "Next time, I want to meet you." "I hope we have a chance to miss this trip, miss a house and a bunch of houses -" he coughed. "There are a bunch of kids," he finished.

The girl said nothing. She could not speak. But she knew him. The light that entered her eyes made them as beautiful and hopeful as the earth's sky.

Li Bai lay down quietly.

The returning tribe members danced a wild victory dance around the two people. Flat and bare, the endless dust of Mars stretches far. The sun rises on the glass, still sea. On the lifeboat, Li Huai arranged sails to protect them from the sun. He hung it from the top of the simple mast and unfolded it to leave a shadow on the ship. There is no wind. There was no wind for three days.

Li Huai stood up, his eyes widened, and he surrounded the sea. The horizon is uninterrupted. When he sat down, he realized that the girl who had been sleeping under his feet was awake.

"What did you see, friend?" she whispered.

He shook his head.

Her pinched face seemed to be pinched even more by his gestures. She sat up. Her eyes could not help but stared at the bucket of water next to Li Badi. She licked her chapped lips.

"How are you, friend?" she asked.

Li Badi said: "Today we only have a quarter of the cup left." "Do you want to share now or do you have to wait for a while?"

"I'm so thirsty," the girl said. She glanced quickly at the others on the boat. They are still sleeping.

"How about pour me a big glass?" she asked, her bold blue eyes staring intently at Li Badi's face.

Li Badi looked at the sea.

"They are asleep," the girl said quickly. "They will never know."

Li Bad said nothing.

"Please." The girl begged.

Li Badi sat silently. He is a big man with black hair and gray eyes. He was wearing a pair of ragged duck pants. The rolled bottom reveals bare feet. He is not wearing a shirt. A heavy pistol hung from the belt.

"Look, big boy." The girl coaxed. "I, you can have a good time."

"What makes you think so?" Li Badi questioned.

This is obviously not the answer she expected. She seemed surprised. For a while, her eyes looked at the man.

She said: "You have been looking for what you really want." "You haven't found it yet. You have become miserable because you haven't found it."

Her words made Li Huo uncomfortable. They are too close to the truth. He shifted his position on the seat.

"So?" he said.

"Nothing," the girl replied. "Except we are two kinds of people."

"And since we are two kinds of people, can we get along?" he questioned.

"Yes," she replied. She made no effort to conceal her desire. "Look, Li Huai, you and I, we are both strong." She pointed at the others on the boat contemptuously. "They are not tough."

"Isn't it?"

"No." Now the words came faster, as if she had made up her mind to say something and was damned by the consequences. "They are dying. Oh, you don't have to shake your head. You didn't deceive me for a minute because you pretended that there would be a boat to pick us up. There won't be a boat. The only hope of our boat is that we might be on an island Rafting. It may take a few days to find an island. There is not enough water to sustain everyone's life.

She could not finish what she said. Li Huai looked at her, his eyes were cold and explicit. Her eyes dropped.

"Then why don't you and I separate the water and let others die because of our toughness without thirsty? Is that what you meant?" he asked.

"No-" She faltered. "-No." The resistance made her face hard. "Yes!" she said. "That's what I mean. Why should we take care of them? We don't owe them anything. Why should we die with them? What did they or others do for us? I will tell you the answer. Nothing, nothing wrong! Nothing!"

"Because they didn't do anything for us, and because we became stronger, we let them die. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes Yes."

Li Badi was silent for a moment. Dark thoughts appeared in his mind, but his face showed nothing. He said: "I have a gun, the only gun on the ship. This makes me the boss. Why don't I keep all the water for myself and let the rest of us die of thirst?"

"Oh, you wouldn't do that!" A frightened expression appeared on her face.

"Why don't I?" Li Bad challenged.

"Because-oh, because-"

"What do you want to give me, worth a glass of water?" he demanded.

"What do you want me to get?" she replied. Her eyes stared hungrily on Li Badi's face.

"What do you want me to get! Oh, damn, girl-" the big man twisted nervously. He avoided her gaze and turned to look at Bohai.

"Should I wake up?" a new voice asked. Lying in the middle of the boat was Mrs. Miller's voice. She raised her knees and looked around the vast ocean. "I think-" she whispered. "For a while I thought I was home again. I think I must be dreaming." She put her hand on her eyes to block the sea.

"Is it time for a drink now?" she said, looking at Li Badi.

"No," he said.

Mrs. Miller protested: "But we always have a drink in the morning."

"Not this morning," Li Badi said.

"Can I ask why? We-are we out of water?"

"We still have water," Li Badily replied.

"Then why can't I drink some? I-well, I don't think I need to tell you why I need a drink."

The reason why she needs water is obvious. Worse than the others on the ship, Mrs. Miller needs a drink.

"I'm sorry," Li Badi shook his head.

"why?"
