parasitic son

Liu Xingquan turned around and ran away.

Monsters rumbled behind him.His legs were already sore and limp, but now they exploded with strength.

Help.

He ran forward like crazy.The carapaceous monsters hissed and howled behind him.His heart is beating like a drum, his head is spinning, I can't die here.My mother is waiting for me to come home.I can't make her sad anymore.

His foot stepped into a depression in the gravel, and he spun and rolled down.The smell of sun-baked sand rushed into his nose.He fell into a hollow on the slope.The monsters leapt from above, and he could see the brown bellies of the crustaceans, and they weren't paying attention to him.They jumped over the pits one by one, their strong arthropods moving powerfully.

Liu Xingquan lay panting in the tunnel.The tide of these crustacean monsters lasted for twenty minutes.They ignored him indifferently, as if they were hurrying together.

When there were no shell monsters passing above, Liu Xingquan checked his legs. His knees and elbows were scratched, but nothing serious.He slowly crawled out of the tunnel.This group of monsters is gathering not far away.

what are they doingHe was uneasy.

A cold light shone from the cracks in the ground not far away.It is water.That's river water.Liu Xingquan suddenly realized that these monsters were going to drink water.There is water ahead.The news lifted his spirits.But those carapace monsters gathered there in groups.

Will they attack me if I go over to drink water?Will they eat me?

he does not know.His throat was burning.His breath was hot.He stared at the bright white water in the distance, imagining the clear and cold water pouring down his throat.Water, he really wanted to drink water.He sat behind a rock and waited for two hours. He was so thirsty that he almost collapsed.The group of carapace monsters still did not leave.I'm going to die of thirst if I don't drink any more water, he thought.

After suffering another half an hour, Liu Xingquan came out.Every step he took was observing the reactions of those monsters.Those crustacean monsters still gathered by the river to drink water, as if Liu Xingquan was just a rolling stone.He cautiously approached the small river. The clear water reflected the blood-red sky, showing a strange dark red color.Not a single crustacean went to see him.They are all drinking the river water with their mouthparts.This is exactly what I want.He bent down and picked up a handful of water from the river.The taste of the water is slightly astringent and the temperature is high, not as refreshing and cool as imagined.Hope the water is not poisonous.But does he have the right to choose now?

He gulped water until it filled his stomach.A carapace monster raised its head and spat at him.Liu Xingquan was so frightened that he sat on the ground. Its huge compound eyes stared at him, and he timidly moved aside.The monster seemed very satisfied, he lowered his head and continued to drink water, ignoring him.

The monsters looked scary, but they had no intention of attacking him, he thought.

After drinking enough water, he sat on the spot and began to think about the next step.He imagined that someone would come down from the sky and say to him, this is just a TV show, now it's time to go home.But this is obviously a fool's dream.He's been here for ten hours, which is way beyond what a TV show should be.Mom, the mother he was most worried about... Mom must be in a hurry.He never had a night out.Mom, I will definitely find a way to come back, please don't worry about me, and please don't cry for me.

He is a young man who is very familiar with Internet culture, so he can naturally face this situation squarely.

When you arrive in a different world, you should have the consciousness of being in a different world.

Many protagonists of web novels will carry a system or other plug-ins with them when they arrive in a different world. Liu Xingquan tried to shout a few words: "System? Is there a system?" Of course, he didn't get any response.Only the nearest few carapace monsters looked up at him.He also thought of the portable space that the protagonists of these web articles often carry, so he closed his eyes and tried to sense the legendary space. There was a slight wind in his ears, the heavy footsteps of the carapace monsters, and their piercing calls. , and the buzzing of some strange little bugs flying around him, other than that, he felt nothing.

Ah, and I don't have much carry-on space either.

Liu Xingquan sat on the ground sadly, it was too miserable, the online articles were all lies.In reality, there are no golden fingers.

Wait, I do seem to have one...

He thought of the only magical item he had on him.Glass jar and message in a bottle.That drifting bottle that automatically updates incoming letters.He took out the glass bottle from his schoolbag, the letter in the bottle remained unchanged, and his pen pal did not receive any new letters.

If this drifting bottle can achieve communication between different planets, he should be able to receive the letter I am writing now.

I can turn to him for help.

Liu Xingquan opened the pencil case and tore off a piece of paper from the workbook.Spreading the paper on a relatively flat stone, he hesitated again before writing.

His pen pal was in a pretty bad place at the moment.Even if Liu Xingquan is just a middle school student who has not experienced much in the world, he has already noticed that the company mentioned by the pen pal is definitely not a good one.I originally planned to discuss with Yan Zhen how to help this pen pal, but now I have fallen into a situation where he can only ask his pen pal for help.

Judging from the letter, his pen pal is completely controlled by the company,

He was keenly aware of the possibility that the company was looking for desperate laborers everywhere, and his plea for help from his pen pal would probably lead him to fall into the clutches of the company, which would not only fail to help his pen pal but also save himself, this was by no means The result Liu Xingquan wanted.

So what should we do now?

First of all, let's assume that this strange different world is an alien planet.

Liu Xingquan thought for a while, and began to describe the landform of this wasteland, the red sky, the two suns, and the specific appearance of the crustacean monster.He drew a sketch of the carapace monster as an illustration.Finally he wrote in the letter: "Do you know what this place is? Do you know its exact location? Do you know how far it is from the earth?"

After writing, he stuffed the letter into a glass bottle.When all the information is zero, I can only inquire about the information from my pen pal first.

The light has dimmed imperceptibly.The two suns were gradually setting, and they outlined the outlines of the distant mountains with their golden-red brilliance.The carapace monsters stuck together and let out a low hum that fluctuated.Liu Xingquan found a hillside overgrown with grass, and sat down behind a large rock that could block the wind.

He took off his shoes, and his feet had several blisters.He shrank his feet and covered his schoolbag and books over his body.The night came quickly, and after a while the sun put away the last light.As night came, the temperature began to drop sharply.He was hungry and cold.Hope I don't get sick after one night.Never get sick.There is still a long way to explore tomorrow.

But beyond this wasteland, where would it be?he does not know.He closed his eyes, thinking of his mother, thinking of his best friend Yan Zhen, thinking of his classmates, thinking of his dead father. "Xingquan, you must strive for success." Dad often said this to him.But he was gone forever before he saw him become an adult, and he made my mother shed a lot of tears.Now, he made Mom cry just as much as Dad did.

No, I am different.I will not let my mother cry.

Of course you don't.Yan Zhen whispered to him.

Yes, when I come back, I must tell you about this strange trip to another world.

It was late at night.He fell into a deep sleep amidst the confusion of thoughts.In the dream, he had no soreness or hunger.He picked up his schoolbag, said goodbye to Mr. Fu, left the library, and walked home as usual.He thought happily: Sure enough, traveling through another world is just a dream.This is my reality.

"No, this is not reality." A voice came from behind him.

Liu Xingquan turned around, and there was a young girl standing behind him, she was wearing a school uniform with "No.[-] Middle School" written on it.But this school uniform... the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School is not of this style now.Liu Xingquan remembered that this was the old school uniform that Mr. Fu showed him in the past photos.

"This is not reality," the girl said to him.She stared at him, her pupils were like the dark sky after a shooting star, far and quiet.

He felt that she seemed familiar but was very strange. He asked, "Who are you?"

The girl gave him a sad and gentle smile, and she said, "Wake up, Liu Xingquan."

Liu Xingquan woke up from his dream.His whole body ached and his limbs were stiff.He swept away the book that was covering him.He touched his forehead, his body temperature was normal, and he didn't feel like he had a fever.He touched the phone subconsciously, and the screen was still dim after pressing it.The phone is completely dead.Now he couldn't count the time.

He stood up, staring in his eyes with hunger.He missed the small wontons and poached eggs in soy sauce soup that his mother warmed up for him every morning.I must find some food, he thought.

Water is the source of life, and where there is water, there will always be living things.Maybe I can find something in that little river.

The sky was still dark at this time, the sun peeked out a little on the horizon, and the tiny stars still hung high in the sky.

He stepped into the river with bare feet. This small river was very shallow, and the water only reached Liu Xingquan's calf.He bent down to touch it, and the river was crystal clear, but there were no fish.After some groping, he returned to the ground disappointed.

On the second day in another world, he died of starvation.He smiled wryly.

A carapace monster not far from him suddenly slammed its legs, and the surrounding carapace monsters surrounded it, making low groans.Liu Xingquan looked curiously.A stone was caught in the foot of the carapace monster, and it shook it violently, trying to shake the stone away.But the stone seems to have a mouth, and it is firmly clamped on it.

This, it seems, is not a stone.

Liu Xingquan observed it, and found that it was a creature with a shell like a stone. It tightly bit the forelimb of the carapace monster, no matter how the monster shook it, it would not let go.He looked at it for a while, then took out the pocket knife from his pocket, and stepped forward.

The carapace monster was still struggling to shake the stone creature on its forelimbs. When Liu Xingquan tried to put his hands on its forelimbs, it hissed as a warning.Liu Xingquan spread his hands, showing a non-aggressive appearance.The carapace monster grunted and continued to shake the stone.He jerked his knife out and plunged it into a crevice in the stone creature.The stone creature let go of the shell monster's forelimbs with a puff, and slid down.

Liu Xingquan turned the knife in the crack and stretched the crack open, revealing the pink flesh inside the stone shell.It looks like an oyster-like creature.He thought, well, is this edible?

After a while, another carapace monster came in front of Liu Xingquan, this time it simply stretched out a jointed limb to show him, it really had a stone biting on it.So Liu Xingquan followed suit and pried off the oyster-like stone creature with a knife.So several shell monsters came to ask for help one after another, and after a while, there were five or six piled up in front of Liu Xingquan.

Now Liu Xingquan is facing a huge problem. He doesn't have a fire tool, so he can't make a fire at all.He looked wistfully at the fresh pink flesh inside the stone.At this time, his stomach was growling with hunger, and his head began to feel a little dizzy.Since it is a bit like oysters, it should be eaten raw like oysters.He made up his mind, dug out a piece of meat with a knife, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Grass is too bad to eat.

*********************

"If the food problem is not resolved, I think the crew will rebel collectively." Captain Madara said to Xiaozhen.

This is the first big question Zhen faces since the start of this journey.The sudden disappearance of Liu Xingquan this time caused the ship to set sail before the fully automatic kitchen was installed.

In Xiaozhen's eyes, although there is no fully automatic kitchen, there is energy supply, so it is no problem to set up a temporary kitchen.But he never expected that none of the crew on this ship, including himself, had the talent to be a cook.

There is a large amount of military compressed nutrient solution stored on board, and it can be tolerated after a day or two, but it tastes like chewing wax on the third day, and after a week, eating has become a kind of torture.

Fei told Xiaozhen politely that there were three pastry chefs on the ship she worked in the past.Liu Bei told Xiao Zhen that without a cook, the ship would lose its soul.

They have been sailing for a week.Every crew member is tortured by the military nutrient solution. Even if they can enjoy ice cream at any time, they cannot relieve the hunger and thirst of the staple food.At this time, Roken M89 said that it can cook in the kitchen.

Captain Madara asked in surprise, "You know how to cook?"

"There are more than 2000 recipes in my storage area, although this is only for intelligence analysis." Roken M89 said, "Considering everyone's work conditions, I can cook according to the recipes."

"Okay, okay!" Xiaozhen immediately had great expectations for Roken M89. To be honest, he was tired of drinking the nutrient solution.

At lunch that day, Ms. Fei, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, Captain Madara and Xiao Zhen sat in the dining room, waiting excitedly for the first real meal on the ship.Roken M89 pushed the dining car, and when it opened the metal cover, all the crew members gave out admiration.

As expected of a robot that is good at precise calculations, every dish it presents is of excellent color, taste, and presentation.

After the meal was served in front of them, everyone happily put the food into their mouths.

Xiaozhen chewed.He suddenly thought that robots have no sense of taste at all, so why would he naively think that robots can cook? ?

It's too bad! ! !
