Interstellar Love Hunting Guide - Chapter 33

Seeing the assembled church members, Russell gradually felt a strong sense of responsibility. He calmed down his bitter mood and said, “Well, anyway, it’s a sandstorm outside. Let’s get acquainted with each other first. Write down the situation, and I will make a summary, so that I can distribute the work when I work.”

Xiaobai volunteered to take on the clerical work, and Jopp found a semi-old electronic notebook in the warehouse, and it was ready to use, and he gave it to him for recording.

It has to be said that the devouring church members are really strange. There are all kinds of people, tailors, shoemakers, chefs… these are more useful occupations, at least they provide logistical support personnel for the group; there are lawyers, insurance brokers, housing agencies, etc., For mining, their profession is a bit fantasy, and it is not of much use for the time being; there are also some more fringe professions, such as the Fifty-Five Party, Tanmei writer, H cartoonist, and calcium film director. Fortunately, only Two people (Tanmei writer is a part-time film director and a fifty-five cents party); the rest are the mainstays of their future jobs-mechanics, engineers, civil engineers, boxers, butchers, etc., these people did not expect the number to return Quite a lot, which gave Russell a little more confidence.

After the statistics were over, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a talk show star among them. Although it was out of breath, there were still a lot of fans. Some people even asked him for an autograph, which was written on their back, and said that in the short term He couldn’t take a bath anymore, so the person on the hammock next to him began to search for the rhinitis patient and change the bed with himself.

Russell and everyone discussed and divided everyone into four groups. One group is logistics, specializing in food processing and supply security, and the other three groups are responsible for going out to find mineral veins. Although his personality, he usually encounters this Everything was hidden in the crowd, but now as a commander with hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at him with piercing eyes, he had no choice but to take the lead, and included himself in the people looking for mineral veins.

All arrangements were suspended, and the dust storm outside was still blowing. Everyone could only stay in a hammock to rest. There were only a dozen mechanics in the warehouse overhauling equipment. Jopp also joined as a semi-tonal technician, and damaged the excavator. The engine was taken down, struggling to find the fault.

On the mechanical side, Russell only knew some software communication and could not help much, so he had to squat next to Jopp to accompany him. Seeing that his golden forehead was hanging down to block his eyes, he found a wire clip to help him keep it away from the top of his head. Jopp smiled subconsciously, bowed his head and went to work.

Seeing him working hard, Russell couldn’t help but apologize, and sighed: “I’m sorry, it was I who dragged you down and brought you here.”

“It’s not your fault, it’s all Dululu that bastard.”

“Hey, if I knew that, I should have asked you to go back first. At least I can send a letter to Sauter. Maybe we can be rescued in the spaceport.”

“No, fortunately I am following you, otherwise it would be dangerous for you to be trapped here alone, in your stomach…”

At this point, Jopp suddenly shut his mouth, paused, and lowered his eyes. “Besides, Mr. Sauter is very powerful. He will definitely find a way to save you.”

As he said, his subordinates kept disassembling the engine. They were very skilled. Russell did not pay attention to half of his words. He only secretly sighed that he is very talented. If he goes out in the future, he can be sent to the New Western Professional Maintenance Institute for further training. a bit.

Time slipped away in the busy, Russell and the others gradually figured out the natural law of this mineral star. It revolves around the swallowing star, and its rotation period is about 28 hours. In this season, there are six or seven hours in the daytime, the surface temperature is over 50 degrees, and most of the time is sandstorms, it is impossible to go out at all, the night is very long, there are more than 20 hours, the temperature is about zero degrees, the oxygen content is also Slightly higher, more suitable for outing activities.

So Russell and his churchmates all turned into nocturnal animals. When the day came, everyone stayed in the hall to sleep. When night fell, except for the logistics, the other three teams were dispatched together with dry food and water. Sanlu drove mechas and transport vehicles to search for mineral veins, and carried out a carpet search of the wasteland outside the valley.

Russell has been trying to decipher the management password of the single-band talker in the lobby and open other channels for communication, but failed due to lack of tools. Jopp dismantled a lot of parts from the broken spacecraft on the flying platform, and made several short-range communication tools similar to walkie-talkies, and installed them on the transport vehicle. He also dismantled four light cannons and six ray guns, and picked them up, but I don’t know if they can be used-there is no energy, so they can only try again after they find the energy mine, but no one knows that the light cannon ray guns are here. What’s the use of a place that doesn’t shit.

Soon more than half a month passed. They had already surveyed the nearby wasteland with a radius of more than a thousand kilometers. Unfortunately, they did not find any traces of mineral veins. There were coke-like boulders everywhere. One drop of energy, one gram of gold.

The supply is running out, and it can be supported for a week. Russell is more and more worried about when the planet is so big and the headless flies are looking for a head, in case the mineral veins are not found after seven days, these What do people do? Did Duollu say harsh words at the beginning, or did he really not intend to let them live…

At night, the sky is full of blue stars. Because the atmosphere is thin, it looks particularly bright. Jopp drove the transporter on the middle of nowhere. Russell sat in the co-driver seat beside him, the energy on the console The detector beeps and flashes red, indicating that no mineral deposits have been found.

“Tired?” Jopp asked.

“Fortunately.” Speaking of his body is not as good as before, probably because the planet’s radiation is too strong, Russell always feels backaches and legs cramps, like calcium deficiency, and is easy to get sleepy, sometimes sitting He fell asleep in the car, but fortunately, he was always in a group with Jopp. The kid was energetic and could carry him around.

“Time is running out, will he really ignore us if you say Dululu?” Jopp asked with a mournful face.

This is exactly what Russell is worried about, but he can’t scare Jopp, he can only pretend to say easily: “Where can it be? If there are real mineral deposits in this place, sooner or later he will have to find someone to dig it. We are all dead. He has to do something else. It’s not cost-effective to lie to a group of people. It must scare us.”

Jopp felt that what he said was reasonable, nodded and said nothing. Russell felt a little urinary and said: “Stop, I’ll go down and let the water go.”

When Jopp stopped, Russell opened the door and jumped out of the car. The temperature outside was close to zero, it was very cold, and the oxygen content was not high. It was a bit suffocating for people to walk two steps. Russell walked to the side of the hillside and stood on a knee-high stone, unbuttoning his pants. He had just finished unbuttoning his pants halfway, and suddenly there was a flower in front of him, why the stone seemed to move and moved half a foot away.

Is it an illusion, the stone will still move? Blowed by the wind? Russell shook his head, turned his direction and aimed at the stone again—he was slightly paranoid in this regard, and he must be peeing at a target in the wild to pee well.

At this moment, only a strange cry was heard, and the stone suddenly swelled open with a “bang”, and instantly became more than doubled, like a bubble fish, it grew to the height of his thigh. Russell was caught off guard, yelled in fright, a twitching pain in the lower abdomen, and the urine was frightened.

Originally, Jopp followed Russell far behind, and saw a dark shadow stand up, hurriedly rushed over with a yell, and rolled around Russell for several times before leaving the dark shadow.

“Ahhhhh…” Russell yelled, holding his belly.

“Ahhhhh…” Jopp yelled, covering his eyes.

“Ahhhhh…” Sombra yelled, holding his head in his hands.

Loud screams resounded through the night sky, and echoes came from the valleys on both sides. For a long time, Russell calmed down first, stood up with his pants, hurriedly packed his pants, and shouted to the dark figure not far away: “Who !Who are you?!”

Jopp’s frightened legs were soft, and he was trembling while holding Russell’s thighs. The black shadow trembling was even more powerful than that of Bijopp. He slowly shrank back to the size of a square foot, with two small shiny eyes in the rough stone crevices. There was a flash in the middle, and he hummed: “Ahhhhhhhhh.”

Beast? Small animals? Russell boldly walked over, and Jopp hung on his lap and was dragged over. The black shadow’s eyes showed a look of fear, and he took a step back and looked at Russell secretly.

Russell’s life creed is that the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy runs and I chase. Seeing that it is afraid of this, I am not afraid. He lifted up Jopp, took out a biscuit from his pocket, and reached out to lure the dark shadow: “Come on, come on, Dad will give you something to eat, come on.” The creatures in this place are too rare. It was the first time he encountered it in half a month, and it was quite fresh.

The black shadow’s eyes lit up, and he crawled over. A rough little paw stretched out from under his body. He snatched the biscuit away, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, revealing an ecstatic expression, and his purple tongue licked. Licking his lips, calling: “Meow~”

Russell thought it was fun to look like a cat, so he stretched out his hand to tease him: “Mi~Mi~ come to Dad.”

The little beast rubbed it over and licked the back of his hand fondly: “Dad~”

The tongue was as rough as sandpaper, and the back of Russell’s hand was scorched with a fiery pain when he licked it. He retracted it and rubbed it, and the oily skin was torn!

“Rock cat!” Jopp finally recovered his composure and said, “This is a rock cat, a low-level creature that specializes in eating rocks.”

Russell turned on the light and took a closer look. The Rock Cat was squinted by the light and crouched on the ground in a lumpy black skin, black and ugly like a stone.

It’s so ugly, Russell lost interest. He still prefers fluffy and soft animals. The next best thing is to have feathers (such as dragons). The guy who loses the skin at the first lick is still far away. Good point.

Russell turned off the light, changed a place and let go, and said to Jopp: “Let’s go.” As he turned and left, the black rock cat actually followed him, Yibu followed his footsteps, and barked eagerly. : “Meow~Dad~Meow~Dad~”

Russell rolled his eyes. He just talked about it when he lied to a small animal. Who knows that this guy is serious, like a parrot, he’s wrong, he really can’t lie, he felt sorry for a while, took out another biscuit and handed it to him, Rock Cat” “Wow” he squatted, and he was dying to eat again, and after eating it, it stuck up like a hot brown candy.

“Go, go back to each house, and find each mother.” Russell got into the car and waved at it through the window. Rock cat tilted his head, with a nostalgic expression in his eyes, and started running wildly with the car, but after all The body was heavy and could not run well with machinery, and was gradually thrown off.

After racing on the wasteland for one night, Russell still found nothing at dawn, and he returned to the base with Jopp. The other two teams did not find any mineral veins just like them.

The morale of everyone was low. After eating in the lobby, they went to sleep in hammocks. Russell remembered that the kettle had fallen in the car, so he went to the storeroom to pick it up. He took the kettle and was about to leave, and suddenly heard a slight “click” under the car. “Voice.

“Who?” Russell lay down on the ground and looked down the car. He saw a pair of shiny little eyes staring at him. The little rock cat was sitting on the ground, holding a pumpkin-big black rock in both hands and eating, all over the floor. Rock scum.

Good guy, I came here unexpectedly. Russell was dumbfounded and waved: “Come on, come out.”

“Meow~Dad~” Little Rock Cat dropped the rock and ran out, slapped him happily in front of Russell, and licked him with his big tongue. Russell hurriedly ran away. He didn’t want to be licked again. Layer of skin.

“Since you are here, just stay there.” Russell squatted in front of it and patted it on the head, feeling like a rock. Seeing it looking at him flatly, he had to take out another biscuit and stuff it in. In its mouth, Rock Cat loves biscuits so much that it drools.

Russell was busy all night, tired and headache: “You stay here obediently, I will send you out when it gets dark.” Rock Cat has a certain intelligence, watching him nod, and waved his paw when he went out. .

Russell Mimi slept for a whole day. When she woke up, the sandstorm was over. The sky was getting dark outside. She stretched her waist. Suddenly she felt something under her ass. She reached out and touched it. It was two yellow pieces. small stone.

Inexplicably, where did the stone come from, Russell raised his hand and was about to throw it away, and suddenly his brain was struck by a flash of lightning—it seemed to be…gold ore!
