Interstellar Gardener

The three left the dunes smoothly and entered the forest.

When he left, Lei Li was still frantically wiping his face, with a look of lingering fear.

The warm sunlight was blocked by the luxuriant leaves of the giant tree, and the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly. Soon, goose bumps appeared on the bare arms of the three of them.

"Hiss—it's really cold!" Lei Li muttered, feeling that he had transitioned from summer to early winter in an instant.

Yan Yang raised his head, staring blankly at the giant tree in the forest that could only be enclosed by several people hugging.

"What are you looking at?" Dora asked softly.

"Why can these plants survive in the wild without anyone taking care of them?" Yan Yang was a little curious that the plants in the star field were very delicate, but these plants could survive in the wild alone.

Lei Li didn't understand why Yan Yang was paying attention to this, and said impatiently: "These are plants unique to Planet M, and they will die instantly if they leave this planet. No matter how simulated the environment is, they can't be planted successfully. Why do you ask this?"

Du La didn't ask Yan Yang why he asked this question, but added: "The plants on M star have experienced wars and Zerg invasions. After evolution, they look hideous, but it is also because of these plants that this planet has value."

At the beginning, the Federation planned to abandon this planet full of holes, but later found that plants were difficult to survive, and this planet came back into everyone's sight.

Yan Yang rubbed his nose to satisfy his curiosity: "Let's go, it's almost noon, and see if we can find a camping spot for tonight."

It's long overdue.

Lei Li hummed twice and walked in the front, Yan Yang gestured for Du La to walk in the middle, and he was in the rear.

The three of them were very careful and tried not to make any noise. Yan Yang walked at the end, looking behind vigilantly, and checked the places where they could camp.

[Dididi——]

The communicator distributed to them by the program group kept flashing red light, and the three of Yan Yang stopped quickly and took out the communicator.The communicator pops up a translucent screen, with three green dots close together, and there is a small red dot directly in front of the green dot.

It is the materials prepared in advance by the program group!

The three of them looked at each other in surprise, they didn't expect their luck to be so good, they could still encounter supplies after eliminating a group of people!

"Go and see?" Lei Li suggested.

Du La nodded. Their initial supplies were too little, a knife, a bottle of water, a pack of biscuits, and a contactor. It was impossible to get out of the forest and reach the location designated by the program group with these.

Yan Yang reminded the excited teammates: "Be careful there are other people ambush there."

Although the program team will send teams to different areas, and there are a lot of supplies, whether they can meet them is all based on luck. If you want to win, you must eliminate other people.

Lei Li did not refute Yan Yang's words this time, but nodded solemnly.

The three continued to move forward, following the route on the communicator and began to move towards the material delivery point. When they were about to approach, Yan Yang's ears at the back of the hall suddenly moved and caught a faint movement.

Taking out a knife from his pocket, Yan Yang stood there quietly, listening to the sound.

Hearing the wrong footsteps behind him, Lei Li quickly turned his head and saw Yan Yang standing there frowning stupidly. He opened his mouth to ask Yan Yang what he was doing standing there.

Lei Li gave Du Rabi a pause gesture, signaling her not to move.

'What happened, do you want help? Lei Li winked, making sure that Yan Yang noticed him and asked silently.

A bright light flashed through the dark eyes of the young man standing in the dark forest, and he threw the knife in his hand vigorously. The silver-white blade sank into the forest in the blink of an eye, and the two people not far away could even hear the sharp sound of the knife piercing the air. .

thump—

The dull sound of the blade piercing into the tree came, and Yan Yang hurried over to check the situation.

"What did you find?" Lei Li finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked.

While speaking, the three of them had already run under a tree. Yan Yang raised his head, the lush leaves completely blocked the sky, and he could only see the black handle of the small knife, piercing three points into the wood.

Yan Yang pointed upwards, expressionless: "Look, we have settled for today's dinner."

A patterned snake with the thickness of an adult's arm was firmly nailed to a tree, and its body was still wriggling and entangled.

"Can you see clearly from such a distance?" Lei Li clicked his tongue, and at the same time felt that his face started to hurt again.

Yan Yang explained: "It's not to see clearly, but to identify the location by capturing the sound. I was lucky, and I nailed its head all at once."

The question now is how to get the snake down. It is roughly estimated that the snake is about four meters from the ground.

Lei Li suggested uncomfortably: "Yan Yang, why don't you climb up and bring it down?"

Yan Yang glanced at him, it is possible, but let him do any work, Yan Yang said earnestly: "Lei Li, it's not good to sit back and enjoy the benefits, we are in the same team, we have to divide the work and cooperate."

Lei Li wanted to cry without tears, and looked up, the patterned snake was still twisting its body, although he knew that the snake was dead, and the movement was due to the central nervous system, but Lei Li still subconsciously resisted, even looking at it felt creepy .

"I found out just now," Yan Yang blinked, with a sly expression, "You are afraid of reptiles, aren't you?"

It was the same with the lizard I saw just now. The way it cried and howled and crawled was as if it was killing him.

Lei Li's face turned pale, and he said stubbornly, "Who's afraid, I just can't climb trees."

Yan Yang's eyes widened instantly: "Lei Li, there is a snake behind you!"

"Damn it!" Lei Li jumped three feet high, left the spot like a shit, and ran towards Yan Yang, not even having the courage to look back.

When he got to Yan Yang's side, Lei Li checked himself up and down carefully in horror, and he was relieved only after making sure that the snake was not wrapped around him.

"Where is the snake?" Lei Li asked in shock.

Yan Yang expressionless: "I lied to you."

With a blank mind, Lei Li stared blankly at Yan Yang, with a bewildered expression, as if he had difficulty understanding what Yan Yang meant.

Lie to you... Lie to you... Lie to you...

Lei Li opened his mouth, and it took him a while to say, "Gah?"

A rare look of unbearable gaze appeared on Du La's usually calm face. After the fight, the snake on the tree had completely stopped moving. She threw the backpack to Lei Li, rubbed her hands together and began to climb the tree.

"Sister Du La, be careful." Yan Yang said.

At this moment, Lei Li finally came to his senses, grabbed Yan Yang by the collar, looked at the innocent young man gloomily, and gritted his teeth: "Believe it or not, I really beat you up!"

The young man who was grabbed by the collar kept looking at Du La who was slowly climbing the tree, and heard Lei Li threateningly say in a tone of no fluctuation: "Believe it or not, I will throw the snake into your bed!"

Lei Li shuddered all over, quickly let go of Yan Yang, gave him a vicious look, and swallowed his anger aggrievedly.

Du La hugged the tree with one hand, and tried to pull out the knife with the other hand, but she couldn't shake the knife even with all her strength. She had no choice but to hold the handle of the knife and twist it up and down. When the knife loosened, she twisted it hard before pulling it out. come out.

The patterned snake with thick arms fell to the ground, and it just so happened that it fell beside Lei Li, scaring the muscular man to jump three feet high.

"Sister Du La, here's your bag." Yan Yang handed over the backpack he had snatched, and the tools inside had been transferred to his own backpack.

Du La put the snake in, flicked it back, and said lightly, "Let's go."

The three of them continued on their way, and an hour later they came to the place where the program team put in supplies. A bright red backpack was quietly lying on a wooden pile, and there was a signal device the size of chopsticks on it.

Lei Li walked over and pressed the green button of the annunciator: "Group 6, everyone is safe."

The annunciator went off with a click, indicating that the program group had received the message.

Du La opened the backpack and checked what was inside: "There are only three tents."

Two pieces of paper fluttered down to his feet, Yan Yang quickly picked up one of them, and read: "Tent, hoverboard, map, fire source, food, insect repellant..."

"Where?" Lei Li was very excited, "All these things are in the backpack? The program team is really generous this time!"

Yan Yang shook his head: "No, although the items on this piece of paper are complete, there is only a tick mark behind the tent, indicating that the supplies here are only tents, and other things should be in other places."

The meaning of the program group is obvious. Disrupting the materials and dispersing them in various areas is to let them rob each other's resources and eliminate opponents in this way.

Yan Yang doesn't care about other things, but the hoverboard——

They are determined to win!

"Our main target is hoverboards,"

Lei Li rolled his eyes: "That sounds nice, do you know where the hoverboard is?"

Yan Yang held up another piece of paper: "This is the road map of where the supplies are placed. The delivery of the program group has certain rules. If the hoverboard is not discovered by others, we can find it as long as we keep going."

Du La also felt that their speed would be much faster with the hoverboard, but the program team would definitely not make it so easy for them. Maybe every team has this roadmap, and there must be many teams heading for the hoverboard. I am afraid there will be a vicious battle.

"Sister Du La, let's stop." Yan Yang said slowly after thinking for a while.

The trees in the forest are luxuriant, and the sunlight is hard to penetrate, causing the sky to be overcast all the time. Both Du La and Lei Li wanted to take a longer walk before it was dark, but Yan Yang suggested to stop, both of them were puzzled.

"Why?" Dora asked.

Lei Li was also puzzled: "What are you stopping for?"

He calculated that the entire forest would turn completely dark around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the most urgent thing to do was to hurry.

The young man's eyes are very bright in the dark forest, and his spirit is high: "Our goal is the hoverboard, so we need to keep on the road, but food and fire sources are all problems."

"If it's too late to look for a camping site after dark, it's better to find a good place today, find enough food, and then set aside the kindling. It will be much easier to drive the next day." Yan Yang explained, "And with dry food , we don’t even have to stop at noon to waste time, just keep walking.”

Du La and Lei Li looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, I will do as you said."

The three found a corner full of rocks and set up camp. There was a stream not far away. Du La was in charge of setting up the tent, Yan Yang was in charge of lighting the fire, and Lei Li went out to look for prey.

Since there was nothing at hand, Yan Yang could only use the method of drilling wood to make fire. It happened that there was dried moss under the pile of rocks. Suitable twigs for drill bits.

After the drill bit and the drill board were finished, Yan Yang squatted there, clasped the branches with both hands—rub!

With great strength and quick movements, within 5 minutes the drill board under his feet began to smoke. After confirming that the temperature had risen, Yan Yang quickly picked up the bird's nest and blew air. Soon, the gray 'bird's nest' began to emit sparks. It grew bigger and bigger, and finally became a light in the dark forest.

"Successful?" After setting up the tent swiftly, Du La came over to help Yan Yang add firewood.

Yan Yang nodded, his expression was very excited: "I haven't played this game for a long time."

He used to dig wood to make fire in the small town before, but now that interstellar technology is advanced, if he wants to light a fire on the side of the road, someone will report it in the next second and invite you to drink tea.

"Is Lei Li back?" Yan Yang asked Du La.

Du La shook her head, not worried: "No, but he said he won't go far, so it should be fine, just give me the snake."

Yan Yang obediently handed the long-dead snake to Du La, and then he saw the woman raised the knife and chopped off the snake's head without changing expression.

The skin and viscera are removed in one go, and then the snow-white snake meat is roasted on the fire, turning it from time to time.

Noticing Yan Yang's gaze, Du La glanced at him indifferently: "What's wrong?"

Yan Yang touched his nose: "It's nothing."

I just think it's scary for Dora to be ruthless.

They didn't dare to drink the water in the creek directly, so they simply boiled the water with shells. Du La picked some edible wild vegetables and made some wild vegetable soup.

The two waited for another 10 minutes, and Lei Li finally came back, carrying two fish with his head downcast.

"Sorry, I didn't find any prey." He handed the disemboweled fish to Dora sullenly.

Yan Yang frowned, this is what happened, Lei Li knew at a glance that he had a huge appetite, and traveling over mountains and ridges exhausted his energy, and he and Du La also needed to eat a lot, one snake and two fish would not even be enough for dinner, let alone tomorrow dry food.

The purpose of their stop is to prepare sufficient food, and if they fail to find food, they will waste time and slow down.

"Let's go find it again after dinner," Yan Yang said.

Lei Li nodded, looking in a very bad mood.

The snake that Yan Yang killed was as thick as an adult man's arm and two meters long, enough for the three of them to feed their stomachs tonight, but there was no seasoning, and the grilled snake meat was bland and hard to swallow.

After finishing the dinner hastily, Yan Yang and Lei Li planned to go out to search again, while Du La stayed in the camp and dried the two palm-sized fish.

"Sister Du La, if you are in danger, you can climb up the tree and shout, we will come back as soon as possible." Yan Yang took the torch and tinder that Du La made temporarily, and made a cheering gesture with his back to her, and chose at will. One direction, Lei Li quickly followed.

Yan Yang was lucky, he found a fruit tree not long after walking in the chosen direction, which was identified by Lei Li as an edible variety.

"Go up and pick the fruit." Yan Yang instructed, he caught a flash of gray out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously flung the knife out of his hand.

Yan Yang ran over, and when he came out again, he was carrying a hare weighing more than ten kilograms in his hand, with a knife sticking out of his neck, and he was killed with one blow.

Lei Li was completely convinced, rubbed his palms together and began to climb the tree.

"By the way, take off your clothes." Yan Yang raised his head and said.

Lei Li, who was halfway up the tree, wondered, "Are you cold?"

"It's not cold, but I need something to hold fruit."

Lei Li almost died of anger, looking at the innocent smiling face under the tree, he really wanted to ask him why he didn't take off his clothes.

But he didn't dare, looking at the rabbit that was stabbed to death with a knife, he knew that this man was a wild wolf in sheep's clothing.

Climbing to the first branch, Lei Li fixed his body, threw his clothes to Yan Yang, and started picking the wild fruit closest to him.

At the same time, Lei Li complained dissatisfiedly: "Back then I thought you were a little chick, so you still hold grudges?"

Yan Yang blinked: "No, I just think you're easy to bully."

When Lei Li on the tree heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he was so angry that he threw the wild fruit in his hand at Yan Yang.

"You're a big star, so you're not afraid of losing your fans if you blatantly say that you like to bully people?"

Yan Yang smiled: "Don't be afraid, my fans are very cute, kind-hearted and soft."

Spreading Lei Li's clothes on the ground, Yan Yang thought for a while and decided to act alone: ​​"Try to throw the fruit on the clothes, I'll go and have a look elsewhere."

Lei Li on the tree quickly stopped him: "It's too dangerous to be alone, come back quickly!"

Yan Yang took the rabbit and ran away without looking back, and his clear voice gradually spread in the open forest: "I brought a communicator, if I can't do it, I will call for help."

Out of Lei Li's line of sight, Yan Yang followed the smell in the air, and soon came to a small stream, cut the rabbit's throat with a knife, Yan Yang sprinkled the blood nearby, and then found a place to squat quietly.

The last ray of light in the forest gradually disappeared as the sun set, and many nocturnal animals began to move. To Yan Yang's ears, the entire forest came alive.

The breeze sent the smell of blood to the distance, a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness, Yan Yang was refreshed, and he held his breath to watch the approaching animals.

It's a wild wolf!

This wild wolf seemed to have been out of the pack for a long time, its hair was messy and skinny, and it looked like it had little flesh, but animals in the interstellar world were generally very large. If you could catch it, you wouldn't have to worry about food for at least two days.

When Yan Yang took advantage of the wolf's head down to lick the blood on the ground, he flicked the knife in his hand, and it went directly from the wolf's eyes to the whole head. The wolf didn't even groan, and died.

The roar of wild beasts could be vaguely heard in the distance, Yan Yang didn't stay any longer, and dragged the wild wolf back to find Lei Li.

Unexpectedly, Lei Li was still waiting there after picking the fruit, Yan Yang was a little surprised.

"You didn't go back?"

Lei Li said angrily: "I'm waiting for you, go back quickly, Dora will be worried if it's late."

When Yan Yang walked completely under the firelight, Lei Li was dumbfounded, and was terrified by the wild wolf with messy fur on Yan Yang's back.

"What did you do?" Even the tone of the voice changed.

Yan Yang nodded: "Don't forget to bring the fruit."

When the two returned to the camp, Du La was also taken aback, and hurried over to help.

"Sister Du La, work hard tonight and deal with these wild wolves and rabbits, lest the smell of blood attract other animals."

Du La directly dragged the wild wolf to the creek not far away. It seemed that he wanted to show off his skills, but Lei Li worried and followed.

Yan Yang was lying in the tent, stuffing a wild fruit into his mouth, the sweet and sour taste made him squint his eyes.

Dura and Leili soon came back with the cleaned prey, because they were in the wild and needed to reduce the weight as much as possible, so Dura discarded the internal organs and skeleton of the wild wolf and brought back only the meat.

The hare brought back everything except its fur and internal organs.

The firelight of the camp was swaying in the breeze, Du La was carrying the meat, raised the knife and slammed the meat into small portions, her pretty face was extremely terrifying in the flickering firelight.

"Sister Du La, can you squeeze the juice on the meat to make barbecue jerky?" Yan Yang leaned over, smacked his lips, recalling the bland roasted snake meat he ate just now, and felt that it would be too pitiful to eat this kind of food for the next seven days .

Du La thought about it, and felt that this proposal was good. She took the wild fruit beside her and gave it a firm grip.

There was a crackling sound, and the juice splashed everywhere.

Du La, who was crushing the wild fruit with one hand, was very calm and continued to roast the meat.

Yan Yang turned his head, first showing an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at, and then he was taken aback——

"Footsteps are coming."

Lei Li, who was squatting there to help with the barbecue, quickly stood up, tightly holding the knife in his hand, ready to go.Du La put the barbecue aside and followed the direction Yan Yang pointed with sharp eyes.

"Who is there?"

"It's me." Three men slowly walked out of the darkness, wearing jackets like them, they were competitors.

"Lei Li, I didn't expect you to be out of the game." The leading man looked pale and pointed.

Yan Yang turned a deaf ear to the man's eccentric words, and continued to stuff wild fruits into his mouth.

Lei Li sneered: "Langer, what are you doing here? Want to grab something?"

Du La asked in a low voice: "Do you know each other?"

Lei Li: "Well, I talked a few times in the gym prepared by the program group."

"We have no malicious intentions, we are here to cooperate with you."

The man named Lange raised his hand to prove that he was not malicious. He looked at Yan Yang, who was eating happily, and said bluntly:

"The forest at night is very dangerous. There is a woman in your team who is not explosive enough, and a rookie who is powerless. It is definitely not easy to pass the night safely. We can join and take turns to watch the night, provided that you provide food."

A woman with insufficient explosiveness: "..."

A rookie with no strength to restrain a chicken: "..."

Lei Li: "..."

Believe it or not they chopped you up!

Yan Yang refused: "No, I can keep watch."

Lange ignored Yan Yang who was talking, and didn't even look at him. He obviously didn't pay attention to him, but just stared at Lei Li, who was the most threatening present.

Lei Li shrugged: "No, we don't need it."

Lange frowned, looked at the other two, and took a step back: "We also found a supply, which is insect repellent. How about this bargaining chip? We can exchange three bottles of insect repellent for one night's accommodation and six pieces of barbecue .”

The most threatening thing in this forest is not those ferocious beasts, but the ubiquitous poisonous insects!

Du La, who had been silent all this time, had a flash of light in his eyes, and he affirmed: "What happened to you? You were injured!"

Lange nodded bluntly. If he was not injured, he would not talk nonsense with these people with the insect repellant in his hand, and he would do it directly.

Yan Yang raised his hand to show his attitude: "Okay, I welcome him, how about you?"

Du La and Lei Li looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

The weirdness in his heart disappeared in a flash, Lange approached slowly and cautiously, and swallowed his saliva when he saw the charred barbecue overflowing by the fire.

The man behind Lange took out three bottles of forearm-length insect repellent from his backpack, and said painfully: "Spray around the camp to prevent poisonous insects from approaching."

In order to prevent the three of them from playing tricks, Lei Li asked Du La and Yan Yang to sit on the other side of the fire to barbecue, while he himself sat near Lange.

Yan Yang was curious, and asked from a distance: "What did you encounter to get hurt?"

There was no smell of blood, which suggested a sprain or something.

Lange looked at Yan Yang contemptuously, and turned his head to explain to Lei Li: "We first encountered a herd of wild boars and were almost trampled to death. After we got rid of them, we encountered a group of poisonous insects. If it weren't for the insect repellent, we would have been out of the game already gone."

Lei Li threw Lange six pieces of meat of equal size, and then asked: "What poisonous insect?"

"Lei Li, can this be used as food?" Yan Yang asked suspiciously from behind.

Lange, who was interrupted again and again, was furious, wishing to get rid of the ignorant waste on the opposite side. A rookie must have the self-consciousness of a rookie. I really don't understand why Lei Li wants to keep this weak chicken.

Lei Li turned around: "What..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Lange and the three stood up vigilantly, for fear that Lei Li would repent, until they saw clearly what Yan Yang was holding.

Under the light of the fire, the extremely white palm was holding a thin wooden stick. The big centipede stuck on top of the stick was twisting its body crazily, its ferocious steps flickered with cold light, and sawdust kept falling.

Lei Li and Lange's scalps were numb, and they took a step back subconsciously.

...that's a meter-long centipede!

Fuck, let go, bastard!

The author has something to say: soon they figured out that this is just the beginning :)
