Earth Shattered, Everyone Starts the Space Drifting Era - Chapter 10

“It should be water or food,” Zhang Bei thought.

As expected, a cold voice sounded. “300 kilometers northeast, there is a box of mineral water.”

Zhang Bei exited the detector and connected to the asteroid.

300 kilometers would only take 15 minutes to reach. Zhang Bei slowly flew around and observed if there were any other supplies.

“Eh???? That is…” Zhang Bei suddenly saw a large stone flying past him.

“That should be the asteroid of another drifter, right?” Zhang Bei was very excited.

When they were drifting in space, no matter what, as long as they could meet another human and exchange a few words, they could alleviate the misery in their hearts.

At least this proved that Zhang Bei was not the only one working hard in this vast space!

Zhang Bei flew to the asteroid excitedly, then connected his protective shield with the other party’s, and jumped onto it.

“Hello! How are you!” Zhang Bei was afraid that the other party was an international friend and did not understand Chinese, so he greeted in English!

Zhang Bei shouted a few times, but no one replied.

“Did something happen?” Zhang Bei walked inside.

“Aghh…” Zhang Bei was suddenly tripped by something and almost fell.

Zhang Bei stabilized himself and looked down.

“Why are there so many thorny brambles??” Zhang Bei pulled the thorny shrubs and found that this asteroid was densely covered in it.

Zhang Bei carefully stepped over the thorny brambles and arrived at the middle of the asteroid.

“Is that… a paper box?” Zhang Bei saw a large pile of paper boxes. They looked like a small house.

He walked over and called a few times, but still, no one responded. He had no choice but to sneak over.

Zhang Bei opened the box and saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

A man was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open and pupils dilated. Blood pooled under his body like frozen meat that was thawing.

“Did you freeze to death because of the cold?” Zhang Bei couldn’t bear it and closed the man’s eyes.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Bei finally went to his asteroid and brought a shovel.

He first wrapped the man with the cardboard boxes and began digging a hole beside him.

After digging for about half an hour, Zhang Bei finally dug a large enough hole to bury the man.

Zhang Bei lifted the man and placed him in the pit before filling the hole with soil.

“Although I don’t know your name, I hope you can rest in peace.” Zhang Bei bowed.

He looked around and found that the man had saved some supplies.

“Thank you,” said Zhang Bei inwardly, and moved the man’s supplies to his own asteroid.

Zhang Bei looked around carefully and found nothing. Just as he was about to return to the asteroid, he suddenly thought of those thorny brambles.

“If I can let those thorny brambles grow vertically and plant them in the periphery of the asteroid, can it resist some foreign dangers?” As Zhang Bei said this, he began to carefully observe those thorny brambles.

Zhang Bei first pulled the thorny brambles hard and found that their roots were all in the cracks of the asteroid, and could not be pulled out at all.

“What about the seeds?” Zhang Bei searched but did not find any spores.

Suddenly, he remembered that the thorny bramble seeds were usually in their branches. As long as he brought their branches back, he could plant them himself.

At this thought, Zhang Bei returned to his asteroid, took a hoe, and began to cut the branches of these thorny brambles.

Zhang Bei chopped for a long time, and finally cut all the thorny brambles that were exposed outside the cracks.

Zhang Bei tied them up into a bundle and brought them to his asteroid.

Before leaving, he looked back at the asteroid.

“I will live well for you.” Zhang Bei closed his eyes, connected with the asteroid, and left.

The water that the detector had predicted was still 100 kilometers away. Zhang Bei increased his speed.

Pop! Zhang Bei saw a box of water fall in front of him.

He carried the water into the tent and came out to study the thorny brambles.

“Let’s plant a few in the flower pot first.” Zhang Bei took out a few thorny bramble branches and carefully planted them in the flower pot.

“I will plant the rest on the ground outside.” Zhang Bei raised the shovel and started digging holes one by one.

Zhang Bei tried his best to dig deeper, so he had to put in a lot of effort.

“I’m tired. I will continue after resting a bit.” Zhang Bei wiped the sweat on his head and put the shovel aside. He went to the fridge and drank a bottle of cold water.

He took large gulps of water. “Ah, so refreshing.”

In this apocalyptic-like situation, he was still able to drink ice water happily. He felt extremely blessed.

“If only I had cola!” After gulping down a mouthful of ice water, Zhang Bei’s thoughts drifted back to his time on Earth.

At that time, he would leave early and return late every day. He would complain that the company’s packed lunches were not good enough, and that the late night oden and sandwiches tasted too bland.

“As expected, humans can never be content.” Zhang Bei drank the last mouthful of ice water and picked up the shovel. “I still have to rely on myself to lead a happy life!” He swung the shovel down and continued digging.

As Zhang Bei continued digging, the people in the World Channel seemed to have discovered something incredible.

“Did you guys hear any rustling last night?”

“How could there be sounds in space?”

“Sigh! I heard it too! It’s like something passed by me.”

“Hahahaha, LMAO. Is the commenter above hallucinating from hunger? Can anyone move in space? Aliens?”

“It seems like I’m really hallucinating.”

“To be honest, sometimes I feel so dizzy because of hunger.”

“I miss my mom’s food.”

“You’re dreaming! If I had a packet of instant noodles to eat now, I would laugh even in my dreams!”

“I don’t even want instant noodles. I just want to drink until I’m full. It’s too hot here!”

“I picked up a piece of bread three days ago. I only dared to take a bite a day, and I didn’t dare eat too much. It is too f*cking tragic.”

“I was too picky on Earth. I deserve to die!”

“I really want to eat ribs…”

“I want to eat chicken wings…”

Everyone was talking about what they wanted to eat. It felt like their saliva was flying everywhere.

As someone who did not lack food, Zhang Bei was working hard to make his asteroid safer and better resist the dangers of space.

“Is this enough?” Zhang Bei looked at the pits on the ground and wiped his sweat..
