"Aren't you trying to lose weight? How can you lose weight by eating so much?"
When he was touched on the head for the first time, Pangpang closed his eyes comfortably.
But Tu Ran just touched it twice and left, and Pang Pang looked a little disappointed.
"Fat people need to exercise to lose weight."
"Okay." Tu Ran nodded in cooperation without undermining its self-confidence.
The fish were grilled quickly and the first one was handed to Pangpang, who rarely took it directly.
"What's wrong?" Tu Ran asked puzzledly.
"Boss, eat first." said Pangpang.
"Huh?" Tu Ran was not used to Fatty's politeness when eating, "Why?"
"Because the boss has used up too much energy carrying Pang Pang, Pang Pang wants the boss to replenish his energy."
"Haha, no need. I feel much better after a good sleep. Eat it, Pangpang."
Its saliva was almost all over the floor, and she was worried that if she ate first she would be drowned in its saliva.
Being humble when it comes to food is definitely not Pangpang’s strong point, as he can’t control his constant saliva.
"Then... Pangpang will eat first." Pangpang took the grilled fish from Tu Ran embarrassedly, blew on it, and pecked at it directly.
"Slow down, there are still a lot." Tu Ran continued to flip and grill the next fish.
The heat was just right and the fish was grilled very quickly. During this time, Pang Pang wanted to try grilling the fish himself, so Tu Ran gave the task to him and she held a grilled fish weighing five or six pounds and ate it on the side.
Without seasoning, the fish had no taste. Tu Ran could only use her imagination and imagine the fish as a five-star delicacy with good color, aroma and taste, and she ate it with great relish.
Nutrient solution and protein biscuits really cannot be compared with this kind of real food. Tu Ran ate a whole fish and her stomach was already bloated.
She stood up and stretched her body, adjusting to the feeling of her restored strength.
Pangpang is still eating. This is the fourth fish he has eaten.
While eating, it turned over the fish on the fire and enjoyed itself.
Tu Ran planned to clean the blood stains on her clothes. She looked around to make sure it was safe, returned to her original place, and waded into the river.
After washing off the solidified blood stains on his clothes, Tu Ran packed himself up and returned to the shore.
Pangpang was lying there, full and satisfied.
This is the guy who keeps saying he wants to lose weight.
Tu Ran had no choice but to walk up to it and kick it twice, "Don't sleep, let's find a place to spend the night first, it's getting dark."
It's not even nine o'clock federal time yet, but the sky here has already darkened noticeably.
It is not safe to stay outside at night in Threshold.
Fatty immediately sat up obediently, looking towards the river reluctantly, "Boss, should we catch a few red fish and bring them back for breakfast tomorrow?"
It’s not impossible. It saves us from going out to find food tomorrow morning.
Tu Ran walked towards the river.
She pulled out a long knife, pointed it at the river surface and stabbed it fiercely. The water turned red, and then seven or eight fish floated to the surface.
"Wow! Boss is so awesome!" Pangpang couldn't help but praise.
It took it so long to catch such a few fish, but the boss caught so many in such a short time.
Tu Ran ignored it, took out the rope, strung the eight fish together, walked to the shore and handed the rope to Pang Pang.
"Carry it yourself."
Pangpang took it readily. Although it was a bit heavy, it was food, so he was willing to bear this burden.
"Do you have a home on this mountain?" Tu Ran asked.
"No, Pangpang has never been here." Pangpang said with a hum, carrying eight fish on his back.
"Well, we'll have to find somewhere else then."
She looked up at the sky, worried whether she could find suitable accommodation before it got completely dark.
Night falls quickly within the Threshold.
One person and one ball had not yet found a suitable cave. Tu Ran finally stopped in front of a huge rock wall with Fatty.
This rock wall slopes inward, making it ideal for drilling holes.
Tu Ran touched his chin and looked at Pang Pang, "I remember you said that you are good at drilling holes."
"Yeah, but Chubby's claws can't dig such hard rocks."
"I'll help you." Tu Ran said lightly, then placed his palm against the stone wall.
She controlled the duration of contact and activated the ability of "Mountain Collapse and Earth Shattering".
In one second, the crack spread across the surface of the rock wall, forming a circle with a diameter of three meters.
Tu Ran took eight red fish off Pang Pang's shoulders and hung them on a dead tree at the edge of the rock wall.
"Go ahead and dig. It's already cracked. Dig out the surface layer of stone and I'll crack the next layer for you."
"Oh, okay." Pangpang did as he was told.
The claws and beak exerted force at the same time, and soon the top layer of the cracked stone wall was scraped off.
Tu Ran kicked the rubble on the ground away, and then launched the "Landslide and Earth-Splitting" attack on the next surface.
In this way, they dug out a rock layer about ten centimeters thick each time. After fifteen times back and forth, a cave that could accommodate one person and a ball for temporary residence was dug.
It's crowded, but manageable.
It was completely dark and Pang Pang had fallen asleep in the cave. Tu Ran had slept for the entire afternoon and was not sleepy at all.
Looking at the dark, starless sky outside, Tu Ran wondered what to do next.
Today is her eleventh day in the Threshold, and it won’t be long before the Threshold Gate opens.
The issue with the holographic bracelet has been dealt with and she could leave at any time.
But if she leaves, what will happen to Chubby? This is a problem.
It has no fighting ability. The inner area of this dense forest is full of alien species and is very dangerous. She threw it here, just like throwing a piece of fat meat without an owner, and anyone can take a bite.
But she couldn't take it to the Federation.
It is an alien species, and no matter how cute and non-threatening it is, it will be taken away by the research institute for research.
In my ears, Pangpang’s snoring became louder and louder.
Tu Ran turned her head and glared at it.
She was here thinking about what to do next for it, but it was sleeping so soundly.
Tu Ran couldn't help but raise her hand and pat it.
Pangpang stopped snoring, turned over and continued to sleep.
Tu Ran rolled her eyes.
Forget it, no hope for it anymore.
Tu Ran already had an idea in her mind, so she closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.
The next day at 7 a.m. federal time.
Tu Ran sat up.
It was still pitch dark outside.
She was stunned. This time the night was quite long.
She stood at the cave entrance and looked out. It was pitch black everywhere, without a trace of light, so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.
This is the night within the threshold, and human vision is like blindness.
The first piece of advice the federal government gave to pioneers was to respect the darkness within their threshold and to find a safe place before dark so that they could continue their journey after daybreak.
Tu Ran sat there for a while. They had to wait until dawn before they could set out, so she simply didn't wake up Pang Pang who was still sleeping.
Tu Ran sorted out his equipment in the dark.
She still had a lot of weapons left. More than half of the various bombs she had equipped before entering the threshold were still left, and half of her pistol bullets were still left. The most consumed ammunition was the machine gun ammunition, of which only a quarter was left.
