I sighed. "How dare the people from the Huffman family act that way?"
"Not surprising!" Atlas said indifferently, "They were once folks living on the edge. They were living in a lawless place, so there are inevitably some underhanded actions."
"Did you know they're from the Huffman family?" I asked Atlas ahead.
"At first, I didn't know. I asked them questions and guessed," Atlas said.

Swarms of insects flew overhead in the dark light, resembling a downpour.
I couldn't help but remember Atlas's words, "Mosquitoes as big as golf balls." Now, it seemed not exaggerated at all.
"Honey, is this the road to the base?" I leaned forward and clutched onto his seat.
