Gerald took out two nutritional supplements from the refrigerator, handed one to Sese, and said, "I didn't gain much today. I paid the city fee for you. I can't buy food. Just drink nutritional supplements for dinner."
Sese took it and said thank you. She was really hungry and didn't know how long she had slept.
Gerald had been observing her, looking at her regular sitting posture, and couldn't help but straighten his back as if he had no bones. Every move of the other party is very well-educated and gives people a very well-behaved feeling, but thinking about what she just did to him...
Gerald couldn't tell the other party's attributes, but one thing was certain. This female cub was well protected by her family.
Seeing her staring at him after drinking a nutrient supplement, Gerald raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you not full yet?"
Sese scratched her face sheepishly and nodded honestly.
Gerald yelled in his mind: Damn, he can eat better than him. Can a cub eat so much? He cursed in his heart, but still went to get a nutrient supplement for her. He calculated the remaining nutrient supplement in his mind. If there was no harvest tomorrow, he would be hungry. Although I am used to being hungry, the feeling is really uncomfortable.
After drinking the nutrient, Gerald took an electric kettle and filled half of it with water. After he carefully boiled the water, he took two cups, washed them and poured two cups of water.
"The water resources here are very tight, and most of them are polluted. I used 30 star coins to exchange for this pot of clean water. Let's save it and drink it. It should be enough for two days." Then he glanced at Sesu again, I hope I didn't bring back a wealthy young lady who is difficult to maintain, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.
Seuse said nothing, she lowered her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. Gerald started tidying up the room without interrupting her.
In fact, there was nothing to clean up in the room, because it was so poor that there were not many valuable things. At most, there were some mechanical parts piled in the corner. Gerald picked through the parts and thought about building another one. The possibility of flying.
After a few minutes, he finally heard the voice of Jiao Ke on the sofa: "What day is it today?"
"July 3rd, year 3366 of the cosmic calendar."
That means it's been a week.
"How can I contact the outside world?" Sese asked again. After she woke up, she had nothing on her body except a set of clothes, and the terminal and space button were not there.
"You should give up on this idea." Gerald said coldly: "There is a special magnetic field here. Ordinary terminals cannot receive signals at all. People here cannot contact the outside world, and the outside world cannot transmit signals in." After a pause, he continued: "But I heard from people that District 9 seems to have developed a new type of terminal that can communicate with the outside world. In the city lord's mansion in the center of the city, it is said that the city lord can get news from the outside world."
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion!" Sese said immediately.
Gerald wanted to groan, "Miss, do you want to be blown into a hole by the armed security system of the city lord's palace?"
Seuse curled her lips and said, "Where can I get a smart mecha?"
Doesn’t this girl want to grab a smart mecha and leave the planet? Gerald said dullly: "...the City Lord's Mansion."
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion!"
He suddenly realized that he was not bringing back a fighting force, but a trouble. Somewhat collapsed, he said: "Do you know how tightly guarded the City Lord's Mansion is? If the idlers come close, they will be locked by the armed system. If they don't leave after being warned, they will be blown to pieces. Who doesn't know about the City Lord's Mansion? Are there any good things in there? But so far, no one has been able to successfully rob the City Lord’s Mansion!"
Sese was in a very depressed mood and looked like she was about to cry.
Gerald was startled: "You... don't cry, I'm thinking about it. By the way! There are a few bosses in District 9 who also have mechas. We can go talk to them."
After saying that, he regretted it. He was nothing! He even went to talk to people, but he couldn't even see them.
But Sesu obviously didn't think so, and she immediately became happy when she heard that there was still hope.
"Then let's go to bed early and go find them tomorrow!"
Gerald:o(╥﹏╥)o
Night fell quickly, and there was a biting chill in the air.
Gerald wiped his body casually with the rainwater he usually saved, and said to Se Se: "I'll sleep on the bed, and you make the floor, okay?" Although he was asking, he had no intention of giving her the warm bed.
Sese glanced at the bed he had made and the floor he had made. The old bedding felt like it gave off an unbearable smell just by looking at it.
She had no space left, not even a sleeping bag. After looking around the room, I finally decided to sleep on the sofa outside.
Gerald felt that he was being treated like a loser because of his good intentions, so he simply ignored her and went to bed with the door closed.
However, after sleeping until midnight, I felt uneasy after all. I got up secretly and opened the bedroom door to take a look. I found the female cub I had brought back curled up on the sofa, with obvious tears on her face.
Gerald pursed his lips. Could it be that he was too fierce and made people cry? He quietly climbed back into bed and sighed: How about finding a new quilt tomorrow and letting her sleep on the bed...
When I woke up, I saw that Sesu was already awake, standing on the balcony and looking out.
Gerald walked over and noticed that there were several peeping eyes around her. He hurriedly pushed her into the room and glared at the owners of those eyes fiercely.
"I have to go out to the city to hunt today, otherwise I won't have money to eat. What about you?" I asked, praying in my heart that this cub with a brain problem should never think about going to District 9 to grab mechas again. It's no joke then.
"I'll go with you." Sesu said with some embarrassment, "Now I eat and live in your house. Although the food and housing are not very good, they are the only ones you can afford. I can also help. Hunting!"
Gerald: If you talk like that, I'm afraid the cubs will be beaten to death before they reach adulthood...
Breakfast was a low-quality nutritional supplement. She smacked her lips. She didn't even like to drink high-grade nutritional supplements, but now she could only drink low-quality nutritional supplements. The world was changing so fast.
After breakfast, Gerald went into the room and brought out a pair of old boots for Thurse. Who asked her to come out of the dormant cabin with only a pair of clothes and not even a pair of shoes.
Sese's expression was very confusing. She didn't even wear a female friend's shoes, but now she had to wear a man's shoes...
The point is that these shoes look like they haven’t been washed for hundreds of years.
"Bare feet or wearing them, it's your choice." Gerald said expressionlessly.
Sese put on her shoes with the same expression, and then both of them left the small shabby house and left the city with unhappy expressions.
Not long after leaving the city, he saw several small strange animals running in the wilderness. They looked like mice. Although they were skinny, Gerald still chased them.
There were just a few weak-looking beasts, but he spent a long time before killing one, dragging it back and throwing it into the car.
"Let's go to the forest over there." Sese said.
Gerald: “…”
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he didn't move, Sese thought he didn't want to go, so he tried to persuade her again, "The strange beasts there should be bigger than these, right?"
Do you also know Da? ?
Gerald wanted to see what was going on in the cub's mind: "How big do you think we can kill? It's not us who hunt, but the ones who get killed."
"No!" Sese said with an expression of "leave it to me", then pointed at the forest, "Charge the duck!"
Gerald felt that he was not as tired as he was today...but he was afraid that the female cub would cry, so he had no choice but to drive the speeder into the forest.
In the evening, the setting sun filled the desolate planet with warm colors. A speeding car was speeding towards the city gate. Gerald, who was driving the car, smiled from ear to ear. He was finally sure that the cub female he brought back was a big killer. !
They don't have to get out of the car to fight. As long as they see the alien plants around the alien beasts, they will help strangle them. Apparently this female cub has a very high affinity for plants and she can control the alien plants.
Looking at the carcasses full of strange beasts in the back, Gerald was in a very good mood. After taking these strange beasts to sell, he looked at the star coins in the terminal with a smile. Today's harvest in one day was what he had earned in several months. It was too Worth it.
When he was happy, he said to Sesu: "I came back early today. Let's go to Uncle Nathan's to see if he has any good goods. Maybe we can dig out some useful things from him for you. Being able to communicate with the outside world.”
Gerald knew that what he was doing now was risky, but a great opportunity appeared in front of him, and he could only seize it tightly. He wanted to leave the poor planet that had bound many people for their entire lives. The cub in front of him was an opportunity. Helping her was also helping himself. As for the rest, he will make plans after he gets what he wants and leaves here.
Sese naturally has no objection and is looking forward to it.
However, because he made money today, Gerald went to buy a pair of shoes that fit Cese first. As for a change of clothes, don't think about it. Let's buy some things to fill his stomach first.
When they arrived at Uncle Nathan's house that Gerald mentioned, Thurse found that it turned out to be a quite large store with everything in it. She even saw a broken starship and many large parts that she couldn't name.
After about half an hour, Nathan raised his head. Unexpectedly, he saw Thurse squatting aside and watching their work. He was stunned for a moment and said coldly: "Where did this little doll come from?"
This uncle has messy, greasy hair and bags under his eyes. When he has a straight face, he does look like an eccentric old man.
Sese: He looks like he’s not easy to get along with at first glance.
Gerald took the rag on the side and wiped his hands, and said with a smile: "Uncle Nathan, this is Lang Sese. I met her outside the city and brought her back. Her hunting skills are good. We hunted a lot of prey today. , I left some meat for you, I will cook it for you later."
Uncle Nathan sighed, then said nothing, and continued to work with his head down.
Sese had nothing to do, so she squatted aside and watched them continue to be busy, until Gerald said, "Can you please go inside and get me a glass of water?"
It's obviously the expression that says we have something to say in private and you can't listen.
