When Ning Shu shook the quilt, dust rose up from it and made Ning Shu choke and cough.
There was a lot of dust in this place, and there was also no water to wash clothes and quilts with.
Even if she did wash the quilt, once she dried it outside, a thick layer of dust would accumulate on it by the time it was dry enough to take it back inside.
In truth, people who managed to survive on Planet Sehlde were all very strong. Their resiliency could not be underestimated.
Alviss watched Ning Shu tidy up as he ate.
After tidying up their bed, Ning Shu felt like she was about to freeze from the cold. She said to Alviss, “Let’s go to bed quickly.”
Ning Shu couldn’t adapt to such an extreme temperature difference yet. She felt like she was in Africa during the day, and at the North Pole during the night.
Alviss slowly pushed his wheelchair. When he got to the edge of the bed, he bent forward to climb to the wooden plank that he and Ning Shu called a bed, since he couldn’t stand up.
Ning Shu put her arms around Alviss’ waist. She wanted to carry him to the bed, but to do so, she had to use all her strength. She nearly sprained her lower back trying to carry him.
She’d forgotten about how weak she was now. She was used to having extraordinary strength. Suddenly becoming so weak made Ning Shu want to cry.
After much struggle, Ning Shu, who was panting heavily, finally managed to move Alviss to the bed.
Gosh. This was so awful.
Ning Shu then moved Alviss’ legs into the bed. When she touched Alviss’ calves with her hands, she felt like she was touching a pair of bamboo sticks.
Ning Shu pushed up his trousers. She saw that Alviss’ calves were a little atrophied. They were without muscles and were just skin and bones.
Alviss quickly waved Ning Shu’s hand away and pulled down his trousers.
Ning Shu was taken aback by Alviss’ rough behavior. However, she only blamed herself for poking Alviss’ sore spot.
“Let me give you a massage,” Ning Shu said. “So your blood can flow better to your legs.”
Then, she continued, “I heard that other planets have a cure for people like you. If we can get out of this planet, you might be able to cure your legs.”
Ning Shu reached out and pressed Alviss’ leg lightly.
“Do you feel that?” Ning Shu asked.
Alviss hung his head low. His hair hung on his forehead as he shook his head. “My legs are numb. I don’t feel anything.”
Ning Shu inwardly sighed. She continued to massage his legs.
On Planet Sehlde, many children were born with health issues and disabilities.
For instance, some were born with deformed bodies or health conditions like hydrocephalus.
It was because of the polluted water, filthy food, and even some radioactive waste that their parents were exposed to.
Since their bodies were contaminated, the children that they conceived would naturally not be healthy.
Ning Shu massaged Alviss for a while before joining him under the quilt.
She felt that the quilt stank, and so did Alviss and herself.
But how fragrant could one be when they lived in a garbage dump, anyway? Perhaps, at some point, she would grow so used to the smell that she could automatically block it out.
It was also really damn cold. Even with a quilt over her, Ning Shu felt like she was sleeping on a pile of ice and snow.
Ning Shu couldn’t help getting closer to Alviss.
“Sister, what are you doing?” Alviss asked.
Ning Shu pressed her body close to Alviss. “We need to stick close together to keep warm. It’s too cold. Let your sister hug you.”
The extreme cold made it so Ning Shu’s head couldn’t turn off. She couldn’t fall asleep at all.
On Planet Sehlde, every day was a new challenge and a new torment.
“I’ll definitely bring you off of this planet,” Ning Shu said to Alviss. “We’ll live on another planet. We’ll cure your legs and get you to stand up. If your leg can’t be cured, then I’ll get you mecha legs. Alviss, you’ll be able to walk, too.”
