Chapter 492: Farming in the Interstellar World (4)
"Let's find a place to stay first, and then plan to complete the exploration mission."
Their team's mission is to hunt an animal called the long-toothed tiger and collect a fruit called energy fruit.
The animals are mainly taken care of by two mecha soldiers, while the others are there to take advantage of the mission results. The energy fruits collected are materials for making nutrient solution. The school purchases them in large quantities all year round, and they can collect as much as possible here in exchange for generous federal currency rewards.
Of course, the gains outside of the mission are also at their joint disposal. If they can collect and hunt other very useful materials during the mission, they can also choose to sell them to schools or other purchasing platforms.
Lin Sheng clicked on the bracelet, marked their current location and synchronized it with everyone in the team.
At this time they were already dozens of kilometers away from the assembly point. In the next half month, they would continue to go deeper until they completed the prescribed exploration mission.
"There is a mountain range ahead. We can see if there is a place to stay."
What Shen Yao didn't say was that long-toothed tigers like to live in forests with lush vegetation, so they might encounter their hunting targets in the mountains they are heading to.
The exploration planet was quite large, and they were restricted from using many high-tech tools. The only things they could use for transportation were a few propulsion accelerators, and the speed they provided was just so-so, so it could only be used as a makeshift device.
One of the two mecha soldiers, a boy named Zheng Hui, nodded and said, "Let's go over and take a look at the situation first. Long-toothed tigers are tall and long, so it will take a lot of time to hunt them." If they can complete the most difficult task in advance, they will have a better chance of collecting other important supplies on this planet.
The five people determined the direction and then started the thrusters placed behind their waists.
Like five rays of light suddenly flying by, they rushed towards the location just decided with a whoosh.
In just half an hour, the mountains that appeared so far away on the map appeared right in front of us.
The thruster behind him slowly stopped. Shen Yao pressed the device in the bracelet and looked up at the lush forest not far away.
The five of them were still wearing the protective clothing distributed when they got off the spacecraft.
His entire body was wrapped in a close-fitting silver-white cloth, with only his eyes exposed.
"There is a water source in the middle of the mountains. Although we don't need to replenish it in the wild, it is where mountain animals are active. Maybe we can get something."
No one wants to complete the task as soon as possible. Unlike Shen Yao, the logistics support person, the other people may become exploration hunters after graduating from university.
The current practical opportunities are rare, and they always have to make some plans for the future. It is not a bad thing to accumulate more experience.
Lin Sheng tapped the bracelet again. At the same time, the other four people received the route planned by the other party. Following the straight line forward, they could see a pond and a small open space.
Tang Yu raised his eyebrows, his blond hair under the protective suit shone brightly in the sun, "Where did you get the information?" Even though the school comes here once a year, students are not allowed to sell information privately.
This is another mecha soldier. He has very good physical fitness and has removed the hood of his protective suit when he stopped.
Lin Sheng pushed up his glasses and said, "Before I came out, I asked the shop owners in the snack street for some general information."
Shi Qing frowned and said, "Let's go. If we don't leave now, we will only delay ourselves."
Mecha technicians are not very talkative. From the time they set out in the morning until now, Shi Qing has spoken no more than a few times.
Shen Yao looked at the four temporary teammates in the team who had very unique personalities. She said nothing and followed behind with her head down.
There was no need for thrusters when walking. The young man's body was capable of running and jumping, and with the help of two mecha soldiers, they arrived near the pool in a short while.
After simply clearing a piece of space, Shen Yao took out the tent from his backpack, let it go and walked in before taking off his protective suit.
The color of the tent blends in perfectly with the surroundings. The material is thin but defensive, and judging by the strength of the animals on this planet, she can sleep well.
dong dong dong-
Shen Yao opened the tent door and faced Lin Sheng who was looking up at her.
"Would you like to have some food together?" Subconsciously pushing the frame of his glasses, Lin Sheng turned sideways to look at the other three people who were busy making a fire not far away.
Tang Yu was talking to Zheng Hui while his eyes kept scanning the forest behind him. He must be trying to hunt some small animals for food.
Living in the interstellar age, people have a wider variety of food and drink in their daily lives. For example, the most common nutritional supplements have no disadvantages except that they taste bad.
Like the exploration planet in front of us, the small animals there are new delicacies. At least hunting them here doesn’t cost a penny, but in the interstellar space, they require federal coins to purchase.
It's better to get something for free than to spend money. Tang Yu and Zheng Hui whispered a few words to each other, then disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.
Shen Yao nodded at Lin Sheng, and without putting on the protective suit she had taken off, she just walked over and offered the seasonings she had brought.
When dining outdoors, you must not only taste the original flavor but also the texture.
Shi Qing and Zheng Hui's impression of Shen Yao improved, and they even made a few jokes with her occasionally.
When Tang Yu brought back various wild animals from hunting, the whole pond became lively.
The washed and dehaired wild animals were placed next to the fire and roasted. The seasonings contributed by Shen Yao were sprinkled on them, making the food taste sweeter.
The five people took turns to keep watch during the first and second half. Shen Yao received special care because she was a girl, and she could go back to the tent to rest.
"We will go into the mountains tomorrow. If we don't find any long-toothed tigers, we will continue along this mountain range." There are larger and wider mountains ahead, with more animals living in them.
After deciding on the next plan, Shen Yao got up and went back to the tent to rest.
The next morning, when Shen Yao was about to leave the tent, a sudden tremor forced her to be alert.
Tang Yu snapped his fingers and quickly entered the mecha he brought. "We are really lucky. It's a long-toothed tiger."
Zheng Hui also jumped into the mecha, and quickly gathered the other three people into the palm of his mecha, "You run down the mountain, we will deal with this long-toothed tiger."
Both of their mechas were of ordinary type, humanoid in structure, and about six meters tall.
The long-toothed tiger that pounced on them was a young tiger, five meters tall and more than ten meters long, with two sharp teeth hanging on both sides of its mouth, and its roar was strong and shocking.
Shen Yao had already put away her backpack. After being carefully sent to the ground by Zheng Hui, she suddenly activated the thruster behind her and then accelerated forward.
Let’s not talk about what happened to the others for now. Shen Yao was the weakest among the five people. She had no intention of stopping to help, but to run out of the danger zone first.
Lin Sheng and Shi Qing fell behind Shen Yao, especially Shi Qing, the mecha master, who was responsible for maintaining the mechas of the two mecha soldiers.
Fortunately, a lone long-toothed tiger is not difficult to deal with. Two mechas equipped with high-tech weapons (most of which are disabled) can still deal with it with ease.
When the five people reunited, they saw Tang Yu and Zheng Hui carrying the saber-toothed tiger's body in a mecha and throwing it on the ground. They uploaded the photos and videos they took to the group where they accepted the task, and then activated the capsule space and put the body in for preservation.
Five people need five long-toothed tiger corpses. Zheng Hui and Tang Yu plan to go back to the previous place and let Shi Qing check the mecha. The five people will act separately for the time being and wait to meet up at night.
"Host, is it okay for us to do this mission?" The system watched Shen Yao travel around and had no idea of the purpose of the school's exploration and practice.
'The supplies I collected along the way also need to be distributed evenly.'
Besides, the exploratory practice arranged by the school was not originally aimed at them.
They are professionals only because of the useless people who came here, so they have to work together with the powerful mecha department.
In other words, their entire profession is a supporting role in this practice, and they just need to serve as a background board and don’t need to worry about anything else.
system:……
Shen Yao continued to dig for supplies and would not let go of anything useful he came across.
Everyone carries a capsule space in their backpack, which can store any supplies for exploring the planet. However, due to space size limitations, bodies like the long-toothed tiger can only be handled by Tang Yu and Zheng Hui. Her capsule space is filled with small items, including the energy fruits that need to be collected later.
Energy fruit grows in the desert, far away from where they are.
Shen Yao stood up and looked behind her. Shi Qing and Lin Sheng were sitting under a tree with their eyes closed. It was unknown what they were thinking about.
"Student Shen Yao"
Lin Sheng called out to Shen Yao who was still busy, and suggested that the three of them could find a place to stay first, "We don't know when Tang Yu and Zheng Hui will be back," and if they waited here and encountered any danger, it would be difficult for the three of them.
They don't have strong offensive weapons such as laser guns, particle cannons, and high-energy rays. The only thing Shen Yao uses for self-defense is a Tang sword that is said to be able to cut through iron like mud.
"Let's go up the mountain. There are dense forests over there. We can live in the trees."
Shi Qing pointed in a direction and simultaneously informed Tang Yu and Zheng Hui, who had not returned yet, of where they were going. He still felt dissatisfied with the two mecha soldiers.
I acted too recklessly. Fortunately, there is no greater danger on this planet.
The three people continued along the path, but an accident happened when they reached their destination.
Facing those pairs of dark green eyes, Shen Yao's scalp still tingled even though she was prepared.
Shi Qing and Lin Sheng subconsciously stood in front of Shen Yao, holding their self-defense weapons in their hands.
"run!"
The thrusters on their bodies suddenly carried them downwards, and behind them was a pack of wolves chasing them relentlessly.
The giant wolves, each three meters tall, have shiny and slippery fur and can easily run and jump dozens of meters with one step.
"How could there be a pack of wolves?" They were not ordinary wolves, but giant gray wolves that were unique to the planet.
Shen Yao took a quick look and determined that there were at least a dozen of them chasing them. The three of them originally planned to run separately, but thinking that they were just fragile, they could only keep their heads down and rush in the direction of Tang Yu and Zheng Hui.
The speed of the thrusters was faster than that of the wolves, but considering the maximum speed that the human body could withstand, Shen Yao and the other two had to keep a distance from the wolves.
Until the message came from the bracelet, Zheng Hui and Tang Yu said that they were in trouble and asked the three of them to hurry and run away.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao looked speechlessly at Lin Sheng and Shi Qing who were standing side by side with her.
The wind blowing in their faces made the expressions on their faces not very relaxed.
There was still a group of giant gray wolves behind them, "Separate and contact each other when it's safe!"
After sending the message, Shen Yao turned around and drifted towards the nearby forest.
Shi Qing and Lin Sheng followed closely behind. The three of them tacitly avoided their original direction and chose three different routes.
Without outsiders around to disturb her, Shen Yao no longer hid her space. She secretly took out the automatic aiming laser gun and pointed it behind her a few times. Relying on the complex terrain around her, she finally succeeded in shaking off the several giant gray wolves that were chasing her after her after a long time.
call
Finally escaped from danger.
Shen Yao found a place to stand, took off the pusher behind her, and rubbed her slightly red waist.
I ran from morning to night that day, and I didn't expect that the exploration and practice would be so exciting.
'System, scan the surroundings. We should find a place to rest for the night.'
I have to meet up with four temporary teammates early tomorrow morning, and accidents might still happen.
Shen Yao shook her head and, with the help of the system, came to a relatively hidden cave entrance in the mountains.
The tent was set up, alarms were placed around it, and there was even no space to retract the laser gun, which was placed next to the sleeping bag within reach.
Shen Yao had a very restless sleep and was forced to wake up several times, relying on her spirit body to help relieve her tense emotions.
However, the effect of this approach is still not good. When I woke up in the morning, I had a splitting headache and had to rely on the pills I brought with me to save my body.
Shen Yao: ...Who would have thought that I would still suffer after coming to Interstellar.
The system didn't know where to go to watch the fun. After Shen Yao called twice without any response, she could only sit in the tent and look at the bracelet.
There were very few words spoken among the five-member temporary team, and the only few sentences were spoken by Zheng Hui and Tang Yu when Shen Yao fell asleep last night.
The tone was not very good. Maybe the trouble they encountered was bigger than they imagined. Shi Qing and Lin Sheng did not speak.
Shen Yao gave up talking in the group and instead chatted with these people privately.
Three of the four people did not answer, and one (Lin Sheng) gave some not-so-good news, telling her to find a place to hide first.
Shen Yao: ...Okay
Unable to say anything, Shen Yao continued to lie back in the tent, swiped the bracelet that was still usable, and finally, unable to bear the loneliness, walked out of the cave.
Without stable strength, the dangers around are greater than you can imagine.
Shen Yao rested in the cave for a day, then carried his backpack and prepared to head to the desert where the energy fruit grew.
In addition to the energy fruit, there is also a kind of red ant that feeds on the energy fruit.
The threat posed by a single enemy is not as great as that sirloin tiger and giant gray wolf, but the damage caused by a group attack is very great.
Shen Yao restarted the thrusters that had used up less than half of their energy, and moved forward at a steady pace along the route they had planned to take earlier.
Of course, Shen Yao did not give up contacting the four teammates. Fortunately, everyone was alive (it was a bit difficult to die). Shi Qing was rushing to Zheng Hui and Tang Yu. There was some problem with their mechas, but the hunting mission of the long-toothed tiger had been completed.
Lin Sheng was rushing to the desert. If nothing unexpected happened, there was a high probability that the two of them would meet halfway.
