5 – The Basis for Being Human

I was pretty fascinated by what was happening in front of me. Well, I did ask my colonists to follow Seb's suggestion, which was to sleep with each other's skin on. However, I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Still, with her blank expression, Kat lay on the grass with her eyes open. She only wore her black bra and panties because she had taken off her shirt to show her skin. Since Seb was shirtless, he didn't need to do much more. Meanwhile, Manu lowered his clothes until it only covered his genitals and buttocks.

Manu and Seb hugged Kat tightly from left and right. They both seemed to be fast asleep, with their heads pressed against Kat's chest, which was so plump. The girl certainly looked uncomfortable. Her face was flushed, and she squirmed a few times, although the girl still didn't show any meaningful expression.

Gradually, Kat gave up. She no longer squirmed and chose to close her eyes. I looked away from my three colonists to look at the night sky. The rain has stopped. The stars and moon did provide some light, but that wasn't enough for my character. They can't just rummage through the wreckage of the escape pod. For them, the situation is still very dark, in contrast to me, who can see everything clearly. A piece of information about it just appeared before me as night fell.

I'm sure they'll still be in danger even if I give them a hint to search the escape pod debris. Perhaps, my colonists will be scratched with sharp pieces from the plane. The game doesn't say that it's possible, but I don't want to take the risk. This is still the first day. I don't want their progress to be disrupted at the beginning.

And of course, they must be tired.

This is strange indeed. I haven't had much time with them. Heck, they're actually just a collection of data to simulate humans. They are not actual humans. But I'm worried about their future. I want them to thrive as a colony.

What other challenges will they face?

As soon as I turned to the three colonists again, I found Kat's mouth had opened slightly. It seemed that the girl had fallen asleep too. I chose to press the fast-forward button because there was nothing else I could pay attention to.

I pressed the button a few times until it all went by at breakneck speed. The moon set in no time, and suddenly the sky was turning orange and blue, a sign that the sun had risen.

Well, they also nailed the sunrise. I haven't seen such a sight in a long time.

Speed ​​returned to normal, Kat shoved both of her comrades' heads to get them away from her. However, Seb and Manu, who were still sleeping, tried to hug Kat again. The girl, still with her blank expression, restrained the two and hurriedly inched away.

I chuckled when I saw Manu and Seb hugging each other.

Glancing at the two men for a moment, Kat took her shirt from a tree branch and put it on. Her body shiver. I could even see the fine hairs on her hands and legs straightening up.

It's her own fault, really. She rejected the warmth of her two new friends.

I chuckled again.

The girl gave up trying to cover her panties with her shirt and pressed both hands on her chest instead. She started walking towards her escape pod. Because she was having a little difficulty, she took off her shoe, which was only on her right foot.

Hey, you don't want to wait for these two friends of yours? Can you …. Hmmm, maybe this time I'll let things happen naturally.

I followed her and kept looking at her booty that…. Well, I'm having a hard time putting it into words…. Moving beautifully, maybe?

"Argggghhhh!!!" Manu and Seb's hysterical voices could be heard from a distance, but Kat didn't care and kept walking.

It seemed as if the two men were shocked from hugging each other and didn't feel Kat's warmth anymore. It must have been a hilarious incident. But now, I was engrossed in watching Kat's movements. I'll see the moments of the two men later in the replay feature.

Once in the escape pod area, Kat looked around for a while, then opened up a large piece of debris there. She found boxes of emergency food that were tightly sealed. Some of the white boxes caught fire, and their contents were scattered. However, some are still intact, or only partially burned, not to the point of destroying what is inside.

Kat took one of the food boxes, knelt down, and opened it like a madman. She then devouring the rice and side dishes in the food box like a hungry lion. Well, she hasn't eaten since yesterday, and maybe when she entered the escape pod, she didn't eat anything either.

I stared at the escape pod door, not daring to check it. The memory of those two bloody human corpses still haunts my mind.

You don't have the initiative to at least check them out first, huh, Kat?

Even when Seb and Manu came, Kat was still busy with her food. I whispered in her ear. "Share your food with them. They are friends who will help you."

Kat finally stopped eating, looked at her food, then looked at the pile of emergency food boxes that were still scattered.

With that expressionless face, I really couldn't guess the way this girl was thinking. Was she unwilling to share her food? Could it be that she didn't have that intention from the start?

You are a mystery, Kat.

"Guys, here is food." Kat said to the two men.

However, Manu and Seb didn't respond to the girl. The two men immediately checked the open escape pod door.

"Ah, their condition is worse than yesterday." Manu gulped as he looked into the escape pod.

"We must bury them immediately." Seb grimaced, then looked at the scattered debris.His expression showed extreme fear. A few seconds of silence, he spoke again with a trembling lips. "It seems the rumors are true that they corrupted the funds for the spaceship and the components in it. Supposedly, this escape pod can withstand any kind of impact and there will be no failure like this."

Perhaps this sort of thing was dreaded by the nonviolent Seb. I have to pay more attention.

Manu picks up one of the debris, which is quite big. Then, he slightly knocks on it. "Maybe we can use this rubble to dig hole for them. This thing is quite light, but sturdy."

"Why?" Kat asked.

With a frown, Manu looked at the girl. "What?"

"I mean, their bodies must have been burned, right? They will not rot, will not smell and will not become a source of disease. Why bury them? Isn't that troublesome?"

Seb and Manu were speechless. They just stared at the girl with their mouths agape. I patted my forehead, starting to worry about Kat's mental state. How could she not understand the basics of humanity?

Seeing the confused expressions on the two men, Kat finally opened her mouth again, of course with an expressionless face. "Ah, forget about what I just said. They should be buried."
