Chapter 77: Of course, the more things, the better
The desert is endless.
Lan Ximeng and her group walked for three hours, and the sand and gravel in their shoes seemed to be endless, pouring out again and again.
Lu Feifei, who was wearing green and had her head wrapped tightly in a green coat, complained, "Ah, how long will it take to get there?"
Zhou Xiao stopped again and poured out the sand in his shoes while standing on one leg. "I always thought my boots were stuffy and smelly, but now they smell really good."
Then he looked with envy at Ling Xiao, who was wearing long boots. The latter ignored his gaze and looked blankly at the endless yellow sand in front of him.
Lan Ximeng's attention was now focused on the map. "Just walk for another ten minutes. I can already see the edge of the oasis."
The other ten people immediately perked up; the visible plums were quite thirst-quenching.
After walking for a while, the eleven people finally saw an oasis.
Their first collection target is here.
A few people were so excited that they wanted to walk forward and lie under the shade of the tree.
"Wait, we need to confirm whether there is any danger here first. Don't forget that this is a deserted planet and there are mutant animals."
Lan Ximeng stopped a few people and asked Zhou Xiao and Lu Feifei, who had good mental strength, to look around while she went to detect the real situation first.
Lan Ximeng's mental power covered the entire oasis. Apart from a few animals that came to quench their thirst, there was no other danger.
But some dangerous animals and plants can avoid mental detection, so she thought she still had to go in and investigate carefully.
The moment she stepped onto the sparse green grass, the scorching heat that had been surrounding her body for a long time instantly disappeared, replaced by a burst of coolness.
“Very comfortable.”
Lan Ximeng walked around the small oasis twice. There was no danger here except for dozens of nests of mutant rats.
So he sent a message to let a few people come in.
"Ah, it feels so comfortable. After basking in the sun for half a day, I can finally take a break!" Zhou Xiao took off the coat on his face and lay down in the shade of the tree, enjoying a moment of coolness.
Others also sat or lay down to let the heat go away.
"Let's rest here for an hour. Zhang Tian, pick your task first." Lan Ximeng ordered.
Zhang Tian nodded, quickly climbed up the fruit tree, and picked a few fruits from the tree.
Lu Feifei looked at the red fruit tree in Zhang Tian’s hand, which looked like a lollipop. The color looked very juicy. She swallowed her saliva, looked up and asked, "Zhang Tian, can I eat this fruit?"
Zhang Tian stuck his head out of the tree and said, "This is for medicinal purposes. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. You can eat it, but don't eat too much."
Lu Feifei said: "Then pick a few more and keep them as a backup."
The other people thought about it and realized that the supplies they had could only last for 10 days. If they wanted to survive on this desolate planet, it would be difficult to survive without eating enough. Especially since they all had big appetites, they climbed up one by one and started picking them.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp." A series of rat calls rang out, scaring everyone in the tree.
Especially Zhang Tian, who picked the most. A red mouse bigger than a cat appeared on the tree where he was. It showed its fangs and claws at him, squeaked a few times, and then disappeared.
"What is that?" Zhang Tian, sitting astride the tree, didn't react.
Lan Ximeng listened, used her mental power to pick a fruit and threw it in front of the rat hole.
The red mutant mouse stretched out a claw and took the fruit away with a "whoosh".
Lan Ximeng took the opportunity to scan it, and the bracelet prompted, "Fire rat, feeds on stick fruit. It is non-toxic, tender and juicy, and melts in your mouth."
"Hey, what is this?" Lu Feifei and Li Fangfang, who were so scared by the sound that they dared not pick fruits anymore, hid behind Lan Ximeng. When they saw the hairy hand, they were both startled.
"This is a fire rat, it's edible." And it looks delicious.
Lan Ximeng used fruit to lure out the fire rats, and gave a mental shock to any rats that showed their heads.
Lu Feifei and the other girl immediately jumped long. They couldn't afford to deal with mice or something like that, so they decided to pick fruits.
Lan Ximeng picked out the fainted mice, stuffed the old and small ones back into the mouse holes, and left a dozen lollipops as money to buy the mice.
This should be enough for them to eat for a few days.
The other ten picked all the ripe fruits, leaving only the green ones.
The fire rat that escaped Lan Ximeng's hunting looked at the fruit trees without a trace of red on them and shed human tears. You beasts, it will take at least two or three days for the fruit to ripen. They are wasting all their energy.
Lan Ximeng came to the water's edge and found many fish underwater. She caught them one by one and scanned them, and found that they were edible.
"Everyone come here."
The others put away the fruits they had picked and came to the water's edge, watching a few fish heads appearing from the water from time to time.
"whee."
After a while, only young fish and scattered fish eggs were left under the water.
"Ling Xiao, why didn't you even let go of the fish eggs?" Luo Feng thought that catching small fish was excessive, but it turned out that someone was even more excessive than him.
Ling Xiao put away the fish eggs expressionlessly and said, "Fish eggs are the most delicious."
Lan Ximeng looked at the green lake and wondered how to take the water away.
So far I don't have an empty container to hold water.
The other people had obviously thought of this problem as well. They were not sure whether they would be able to encounter such clear lake water next time.
"Why not use the airbag?" Luo Feng suggested.
After thinking about it, they felt there was no better choice.
So I took out the air bag and washed it again and again. After it was full, there was not much space left.
Lu Feifei, who didn't take the airbag: ...
I regretted it when I thought about asking them for water when I was short of water and there might be some of their body parts left in the water.
I should have brought it with me earlier. It’s always better to drink your own than someone else’s.
I'm a damn mysophobia.
"Let's split up and see if there's anything edible nearby. Take whatever we can." Lan Ximeng didn't think they would be so lucky to always have food.
"good!"
An hour later, Lan Ximeng and others left with great harvest, leaving behind only the oasis full of holes.
They are really a group of thieves who never leave empty-handed.
Not long after the group of people stepped out of the oasis, the joy of their harvest evaporated in an instant, and everyone walked towards their destination like zombies.
Lan Ximeng suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did she choose military school? Isn’t the university of science and technology next door pretty good?
The freshmen who were undergoing the same military training on the desolate planet next door would have chosen it if they had known they would have to go through such a training. At least they would have been recommended to join the army.
Lan Ximeng half-closed her eyes and looked at the setting sun. It turned out that the artificial sun here was really bright.
It's still terribly hot even after it's fallen.
"The sun is about to set, let's hurry up, the temperature may drop rapidly soon." As she said that, Lan Ximeng pulled Lu Feifei, who was in poor physical condition, and they started walking quickly.
Lu Feifei, sister is so strong, I like you so much, hehe, sister is so close to me.
The few people who fell behind hurried forward, holding hands.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had completely set.
Several people continued walking in the dark desert.
The dark road did not affect the walking speed of the group.
Lan Ximeng felt the little hand she was holding start to get cold. She turned around and noticed that the breath exhaled by the people with poor physical fitness turned into white mist.
"Everyone stop and change clothes!" Lan Ximeng felt a little guilty. These people had obviously been cold for a while before she noticed.
Because of her own strong constitution, the temperature changes were not noticeable to her.
"If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must report it in time, understand!"
"knew!"
