After the big storm, only Yuri, Tuss, and Zeek's small cabin was left untouched. It was the only building that hadn't been damaged.
No one counted how many people were hurt or killed. The pirates didn't care. They forced the survivors to go to the mines and keep digging. "From now on, you'll sleep in the mines, there's no need to come back up," they ordered.
People looked scared, but nobody said anything.
Yuri felt worried. The pirates were getting meaner. If things kept going this way, they wouldn't be able to survive much longer.
Just as she feared, the pirates gave them less time to rest. Some people even got hurt by a rock-digger that slipped from tired hands.
The rocks were getting harder to dig, and they were finding Blue Keystone more often. After Yuri's Enova leveled up, her detached Enova could reach further. She used this to collect a lot of metal genesis and secretly pocketed a few Blue Keystones.
Now, her missing arm wound was covered in blue crystals.
