Since the bloody massacre of the cave town by the pirates, a delicate balance has been maintained between the east and the west. The cave town on the "east side" goes to work for two to three days once a month in order to promote the absorption of calcium vitamins, while the "west side" "The pirates do not take the initiative to approach the "east side". No matter how many supplies the other party brings back or what new movements there are, the two sides have lived in peace for decades.
The sun is hot outside the cave during the day, and people can easily get sunburned if they go out without protection. Sunburn is a very serious injury in the cave town. Travel during the day. Because of the balance between the east and west sides, the materials that Bandena brings back will not be immediately moved into the cave, but locked in the small starship, and the townspeople will wait until it gets dark before moving.
They would only send someone to guard the entrance of the cave. Today, Ao Dai saw that her brother was busy with something, so she took the initiative to take over the task of guarding, and took turns climbing to the entrance of the cave with several people to monitor the situation outside.
□□There is a monitor on the cover covered with dry golden sand, the wire is not long enough to pull it under, and the wireless signal is very weak, so they can only monitor the equipment nearby. Ryan and the others didn't find it when they descended. There is an inward groove in the passage one meter from the entrance of the cave, for one person to sit in and watch the monitor. The screen of the monitor is not big, the picture is black and white, and there are "snowflakes" flying every now and then. Stuffed, Ao Dai was sweating profusely after sitting in it for five minutes. She lightly bit her lower lip to refresh herself, curled up with her knees in front of the small monitor, and watched with her eyes motionless.
The picture on the screen has not changed for thousands of years, and they are just in case.
Suddenly, Ao Dai moved a bit, stretched her neck and moved closer to the monitor, as if this could make the blurry picture clear, so she could see the content inside more clearly!
The monitoring probe was facing the small starship, and Bandner knew the landing point, and every time he came back, he would land the small starship exactly at this location. Apart from the small starship, in the empty scene where the sky was full of yellow sand, a moving figure emerged from the back of the small starship, wrapped very tightly, without a piece of skin exposed, it was impossible to tell who it was.
If Ryan, Bandner, and Fan Luting were present, they would definitely recognize this man's clothes. He was one of the two pirates he encountered when he entered the wild star. You could tell by looking at the clothes that he was the young man.
There are two types of people living in Manghuangxing, one is pirates, and the other is people in caves. Ao Dai can figure out what kind of people are walking around the small starship when she thinks about it with her toes. Turn on the flashlight, which is not easily used, and Ao Dai shines the light downward. According to the agreement, three long and two short lights represent an emergency.
Ao Dai suppressed the anxiety in her heart, she was not impulsive, she did not open the passage and jumped out just because someone was going around the small starship. But what happened next could not allow her to be impulsive, and another person came out, his head and face were also tightly wrapped. It was the old Ryan with the same name as Ryan. He walked to the closed hatch and took out some from his satchel. Tools, after interfering with the signal of the small starship itself, he began to concentrate on dismantling the hatch.
The small starship owned by Bandena is an old version that has been modified. It is an old guy who has gone through many hands. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the pirates, Ryan did not make any modifications to it, so the hatch can be cracked manually. .
"Ao Dai!" Seeing that Ao Dai pushed open the lid and was about to go out, the people behind hurriedly shouted to stop it.
Without turning her head, Ao Dai said, "They opened the door of the little starship!"
"What?!" The next few people still didn't understand the situation.
When Ao Dai pushed the door out, she hurriedly explained, "Two pirates broke through the door of the small starship, and they have already entered. Damn it!" Swarming into the passage, the Aodai people have already gone out, she ran in the direction of the small starship with all her strength, with a weapon in her hand to go desperately, supplies are the hope of the whole town.
Her voice fell behind, allowing the people who came out behind to hear, "Damn it, they launched the small starship, our supplies!!!"
···
"We failed to stop the two pirates. Quaco was hit on the head, on the spot, on the spot..." The person who escaped and asked for rescue cried with blood on his head and face, "We are no match for the pirates at all. The weapons are more advanced than ours, not only killed Quaco, injured several people, robbed the small starship, but also kidnapped Odai."
Ao Dai is a very capable woman with a gene sequence of Y, which is stronger than many men who are also Y. But she is a barren Y, people don't understand, what's the value of kidnapping Ao Dai
Ryan has dark eyes, and Ao Dai has neat short hair, wheat-colored skin, and a neat and clear appearance, in other words, she is an individual woman with flavor. Just knowing the corners and corners of the chaotic world of pirates is enough to shock people.
Now is not the time to discuss why, but the time to find a way to rescue Ao Dai.
"Three days later is the day when you go to the 'Westside' to work. It doesn't matter if you go a few days earlier?" Ryan asked.
Bandena was worried about his sister, but as a leader, he couldn't selfishly sacrifice his clansmen for his sister, "Yes, but it's difficult and dangerous to rush there by yourself. In the past, pirates came to pick her up." His voice was a little weak.
Ryan stood up and said, "Then let's go now."
"Impossible." Someone came out to object, "The sun is setting outside, and it's going to be dark. The desert is full of wild animals after dark. There is no way to drive at night. Going out is courting death."
There are special hunting grounds for hunting. The cave residents are familiar with the situation and wait for their prey in the way of "waiting for rabbits". Few of them take the initiative to go out to hunt fierce beasts. The night is as deadly to them who have no weapons and are fragile as the day.
Ryan said: "Running before it's completely dark, you can walk more. Bandner, let's go?"
Bandena stood up and nodded solemnly, "I'll go with you, everyone..." He turned to look at his partners, these trustworthy brothers and sisters. He is to save his sister, and others don't need to follow the risk.
"Haha, Ao Dai is also our younger sister, so we won't follow her to save her."
"That's right, I've grown up so much, I haven't driven through the night yet, so I'm looking forward to it."
"Hey, you two have to show your strength, let us see what you can do."
"Don't go with that cutie, delicate X."
Fan Lunting: "..."
He rolled up his sleeves to show off his muscles to everyone, "I'm not delicate, thank you. Everyone in the outside world is equal. As long as you meet the physical fitness standard, you can join the army. I am a pretty good scout and have fought against Zerg. I can say , not many of you are my opponents." This is still polite, and it saves a little face for the people present. The blunt way of saying is: except for Ryan, he can beat everyone else at will.
The others looked at each other in blank dismay, their ingrained thinking would not be easily changed, although they didn't say anything, they didn't agree with Fan Lunting in their hearts.
It is impossible to be completely unprepared for saving lives and traveling at night. Weapons must be carried. Food is not needed, but drinking water is a must.
Ryan picked and picked all the weapons that he had assembled, and didn't like any of them, so he began to modify them.
Fan Lunting picked up a well-maintained monocular, "This is not for military use."
"Civil use."
"The model is so old, my grandfather probably used it."
"This is the best wooden warehouse we can get." Bandner took the gun from Fan Luting. The life and death of his only relative was unknown. His heart was restless for a moment, and he could only force himself with responsibility. He wiped the gun with his heart, and said bitterly: "The good wooden warehouses are all on the small starship, I should have known..."
"No one in the world knew earlier." Ryan said calmly after completing the transformation of the wooden warehouse branch: "It's time to go."
Less than ten hours later, when I went to the underground cave, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was like fire. When I came out, the sun was setting and the sky was like blood. I can't help but show up, and when the sun disappears completely, there will be more beasts appearing... During the day, I don't know where they are hiding, maybe deep underground.
The beasts on the wild planet are all mutants of the insects on the terrain parent planet, without exception.
A group of fist-sized ants walked by. They had amber balls on their tails, which were sugar ants. The balls on their tails contained delicious syrup, which was the main source of sweets for Bandena and the others.
Dragonflies with a body length of one meter flew in the sky. Ryan had already tasted their legs. They felt similar to crabs, but the taste was too fishy. The residents of the cave town used a kind of powder ground from rocks as seasoning. It will add spiciness and cover up the fishy smell.
In front, a half-person tall dung beetle rolled a dung ball taller than itself, and walked easily on the fluffy and soft sand, as if walking on flat ground.
Bandner introduced, "When hunting at night, this point is the safest, and many small beasts can be caught. If you are lucky, you can get a nest of eggs if you encounter a mantis beast." Mantis beasts will carry their eggs with them. In the lower abdomen, they have no sex period, and they brood eggs almost all year round. If you find a female praying mantis, you can harvest rich protein, and it is the favorite prey of the townspeople.
"But safety is safety. The food provided by the captured small beasts is very limited. Our target is the big beasts." Bandena lowered his voice, and at the same time lowered his body almost parallel to the ground. The same was true for the others. The fear of darkness in their blood made them lower their heads in fear, "They will come out soon."
Ryan and Fan Luting looked around calmly, wary of unknown creatures but not nervous.
Continuous, undulating sand dunes spread out in front of your eyes, and the desert sunset is magnificent and magnificent. As the last ray of light disappears on the horizon, the sound of heavy footsteps comes from the other side of the sand dunes, and a huge monster of unknown size appears, bringing As if from ancient times, they are tall, heavy, and armored, insects magnified N times, and it seems that dinosaurs have gone in the wrong direction of evolution.
Appearing at the same time as the monsters, there are also visions on the desert. There is life surging under the hot sand, and the flexible branches grow out of the sand, green and tender, looking very delicious. The Haloxylon tree, withered and yellow during the day, is full of vitality, and green buds grow.
In this way, nature has supported countless lives in the desert-covered wild star.
The night has come completely.
