One Night Surprise

Chapter 404 Don’t Wander Around at Night

The direction that Dawn pointed in was the north-western part of the island. The mountain on the island was no more than a hill, really, and it had no name either. To Dawn, since it was in the east, it was the East Mountain, and the mountain to the west was the West Mountain.

Courtney questioned, “Do you always bring your radio up that mountain?”

“Radio?” Dawn might not be involved with the outside world at large, but she was quick to pick up on things. She pointed at her beloved box and exclaimed in excitement, “So this is called a radio?”

Courtney nodded.

“I always bring this up with me to the top of the West Mountain. When I press this button, it starts making noises. But it only works when the weather is clear. It doesn’t work when it’s raining.”

Courtney’s eyes instantly lit up.

“Hey.” Dawn waved a hand in front of Courtney’s eyes, summoning her back to reality. “You’re from the outside world, right? Tell me what it’s like.”

Courtney’s gaze fell upon the young girl’s face. After a few moments of thought, her eyes glittered.

“The world outside is far more interesting and amazing than this place. Take those two capsules I gave you for example: this is a kind of toy that kids aged three to five love…”

Dawn listened rapturously. She continuously pestered Courtney to tell her more stories, unwilling to sleep even when the night continued to drag on. Courtney also managed to get a lot of chatter out of Dawn.

Dawn was about four or five when Fatso brought her and her mother over to this island. She didn’t know the reason why, but in any case, Dawn and her mother were the only ones on the island. The island’s inhabitants cared about them to some extent, so Dawn’s mother helped them to do their laundry and other miscellaneous tasks of her own volition.
