Xi Yuan did not wake up quickly, but his condition was getting better day by day. His heartbeat became stronger and steadier, and he was able to respond more and more to what he said. At first, only his eyelids could tremble a few times, but now his fingers can tremble with his words and he can raise his fingers to express his meaning.
Seeing this situation, Qin Fei's mood became better and better.
If Xi Yuan hadn't been accompanying him and supporting him, he might not have been able to do so well. Even if Xi Yuan needed his protection, he would wake up to see someone by his side. Xi Yuan had always given him the image of being strong and stable. Now, he would wake up. It would no longer be just him talking to himself in his ear. Instead, they would discuss what they should do next.
He had never learned how to survive in the wild, but Xi Yuan was different. He had fought on the border for many years, and his rank of major general was not obtained out of thin air, but was achieved step by step with his own hard work and sweat.
He started to spend more time talking to Xi Yuan in bed every day, and they would also talk about the situation outside. Every morning he would go to the cave entrance to explore the outside world. It was getting colder outside day by day, and the temperature was getting lower and lower. The winter on this planet seemed to be colder than on most planets.
It was not only cold outside, but also completely silent. There were no animals walking around, and no insects or exotic animals moving around. It was as if it had become a dead end where no living creatures could survive. Qin Fei felt something was wrong with this situation, but he didn't know where the problem was, so he was eager for Xi Yuan to wake up and discuss it.
Because of the weather, Qin Fei began to organize all the clothes that could be used to keep out the cold in their space ring while talking to Xi Yuan.
"The temperature outside is getting lower and lower. I don't know if these clothes of ours can help us get through this winter. Fortunately, the animal skins I hunted are still here, especially the fur of the giant rabbits, which is very thick. However, I don't know how to handle it, and it's piled among the sundries. It seems that I need to find a way to handle it. I think if they can survive here, the fur should be very effective in resisting the severe cold. Xi Yuan, can you handle the fur?" he asked, but he didn't hold out the hope that he would answer. He had been living alone during this period of time, and he had developed the habit of talking to himself.
"I can." These two hoarse words made Qin Fei swallow back the words he was about to say. He turned around in surprise and looked at Xi Yuan.
Sure enough, the person on the bed opened his bright eyes, and the evil face that had remained expressionless for a long time now looked at him with a smile.
"Xi Yuan! Are you awake!?"
For a moment, Qin Fei put down the clothes in his hand in surprise and stopped him.
"Yes, I'm awake, Lord." Qin Fei heard the hoarse voice. He immediately brought some water, tested the temperature and then fed it to Xi Yuan.
Xi Yuan drank several sips, and his voice recovered a little. "My Lord, I'm awake. Thank you for taking care of me during this period. You have done a great job. Please tell me everything that happened during this period from beginning to end. I haven't fully recovered yet, but you, the female Lord who has not fully recovered, can also do a lot of things."
Qin Fei was also confident about this. He recounted in detail everything that had happened from the time he woke up until now. Xi Yuan had already heard him say some things but had not expressed them. He would have different ideas if he listened to them again. After all, he might not have said everything when he first said them.
"Do you still remember those two strange beasts?" Xi Yuan asked.
"Yes, I'll draw it for you." He took out a blank piece of paper and a pen and started writing and drawing on it.
He not only drew the two huge dinosaur-like monsters, but also drew four equally majestic-looking birds.
Although he had not received professional training in painting, he was able to draw a few simple sketches. It didn't take him long to draw a rough outline. Although not everything was exactly the same, the important features were all drawn.
Xi Yuan leaned on Qin Fei, looked for a long time, and shook his head.
"They are not listed in the Empire's encyclopedia of exotic beasts." He was sure of that.
"Yeah, I haven't heard of it either. There are deer taller than me, and chickens that tall." He compared his height.
"Everything here is unknown, but what is clear is that everything here is exceptionally large."
After Xi Yuan woke up, he recovered very quickly. On the first day, he could only lie weakly in Qin Fei's arms to feed him. On the second day, he could eat and drink by himself. On the third day, he could walk on the ground. On the fourth day, he could move the big stone at the entrance of the cave to check the situation outside. It was completely different from the worm who could only lie in bed and let Qin Fei feed him and drink a few days ago.
…
Ten days later, Xi Yuan said he had fully recovered.
Qin Fei: "..."
Watching Xi Yuan using his sharp claws to carve out a passage on the hard rock layer, Qin Fei, who had spent several days here to achieve this result, said: "..."
He also found that all the work in his hands had been taken over by Xi Yuan. The furs, bones and tusks piled up among the sundries had all been processed by Xi Yuan. He didn't know how the furs had been tanned, but they became soft and warm. Especially the furry rabbit hair, when Qin Fei lay on the bed, he almost couldn't control himself and rolled on it.
Xi Yuan also took over the food and drink aspects. At the same time, he found a knee-high robot from some corner, and spent a long time repairing it with a toolbox. Then he told Qin Fei that he had added some simple functions to this versatile little robot, which can test temperature, clean, make ice, and heat. It can also process river water into pure distilled water. Now that the river is frozen, they collect the dry snowflakes falling from the outside of the cave as a source of water, but they are worried that it is not clean, so they burn it and let it settle before drinking. Now that there is a robot to check it again, they feel more at ease.
It suddenly freed them from a lot of housework.
"..." Qin Fei, who had never realized that the round lump in the corner was a robot that could help with housework.
Why did he overlook the fact that it had to do so many chores? He usually used anthropomorphic robots, so he overlooked the fact that many robots had strange appearances?
This round lump is still a relatively common type. Xi Yuan, who is aware of this, did not express any opinion on it to prevent his master from getting angry and embarrassed.
If you want to leave the planet, you usually rely on spaceships and mechas. Forget about spaceships, they can't put a spaceship in the space ring. As for mechas, Qin Fei was taken out by Xi Yuan at that time. In that incident, his mecha was damaged in the battle and the spare mecha was also scrapped. They had no choice but to use Qin Fei's mecha, which later became a pile of scrap metal. Now no one knows where even the wreckage has drifted to.
Xi Yuan checked and found that there were two optical computers and two spare ones, but there was no way to access the Internet here, so he could only use some simple recording, calculation and photo-taking functions.
A small hoverboard, a couple's travel hoverboard, two portable treatment cabins, and... a broken lifeboat. Apart from these larger items, the rest are some scattered repair tools and small technological products.
None of this can help them build a spacecraft to fly out of this planet.
But apart from these technological products, they are not without hope of leaving here.
As long as you can reach level nine, you can resist the gravity of a planet and fly out of the planet.
As long as Xi Yuan breaks through level eight and becomes a level nine female insect, or they tame a level nine high-level alien beast, they will be able to leave.
