Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 493: Farming in the Interstellar World (5)

"Shen Yao?"

"Lin Sheng!"

Shen Yao looked at Lin Sheng who appeared not far away. Since they were the only ones around, the other party did not hesitate to call her classmate.

"what happened to you?"

It cannot be said that this place is deserted, but there is definitely not much life.

Lin Sheng just sat on the ground carelessly, with a backpack and a pitched tent beside him, looking like he was planning to take a break?

Lin Sheng pushed his glasses awkwardly and said, "I'm too tired from traveling these days and want to rest." But before he even entered the tent, he saw Shen Yao appear in his sight.

Come to think of it, he really didn't expect that Shen Yao, who was assigned to logistics, would meet him halfway.

Shen Yao sat next to Lin Sheng. "That's great. I also need to rest for a while. There's no danger around, right?"

"Host, why don't you trust the system? There's no danger," the system jumped in its mind, thinking that it had just checked and there couldn't be any problem.

Lin Sheng nodded and pointed at the robot he had used to survey the surroundings. It was small in size, but agile and even had the ability to assimilate to the environment.

"It's safe for now. We're still some distance from the desert, and we don't know when Shi Qing and the others will be able to meet up," so there's no need to rush.

Shen Yao nodded, then took out two nutrient supplements from her backpack.

Lin Sheng: …

Lin Sheng took it with an embarrassed look on his face, drank it, and then asked Shen Yao how she was doing alone during this period of time.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao gave a brief explanation and did not mention the laser guns and other weapons in the space. After all, her own space was different from the capsule space.

Two tents were built abruptly on the endless plain.

The two of them returned to their tents to take a brief rest, and then set off again together.

With Lin Sheng planning the route, they were able to walk with less effort than before.

Besides, there are convenient tools such as thrusters for traveling. It took the two people five days to finally reach the desert where the energy fruit grows.

This desert is huge and boundless as far as the eye can see. If you want to find energy fruits in it, you have to rely on other means.

Lin Sheng bent over and rummaged through his backpack. Shen Yao did not say anything but observed, and at the same time, got rid of the dishonest system in his head.

"found it!"

Lin Sheng said this happily, and then threw the small ball in his hand directly to the ground in front of Shen Yao.

However, the egg-sized ball is a beautiful pink color all over. After hitting the ground, it quickly changes its shape and grows a trunk and a flat head.

The more Shen Yao looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Finally, the pink color turned into bright red. Only then did Shen Yao determine what the shape of this small ball looked like, a red ant.

A unique product of the desert, it is also a mutant ant with strong collective aggression and feeds on energy fruits.

It is said that the reason why there are no humans living on this explored planet is because mutant ants have exterminated humans, leaving behind all living things except humans.

Because some research experts have discovered traces of human survival on this planet, but because of the long time, there is no way to confirm it.

Similar remarks have been made, and are showing signs of intensifying.

Lin Sheng handed Shen Yao a capsule bag containing a protective suit.

"We have to be careful when we go in, red ants are very unfriendly to humans," and will even attack for no reason.

Shen Yao nodded and took out the various ointments she had bought, "You can keep them for yourself." They didn't know what was going on after entering there. If they got lost again, they could only try their best to save themselves.

The two exchanged their supplies to ensure that they could survive in the desert even if they were separated. Then, they followed the "red ants" in front of them and entered the desert step by step.

There is a scorching sun above my head and I am wearing protective clothing to cover myself.

Shen Yao half-closed her eyes and looked up to determine the direction they were in.

The sand in the desert is a bit dazzling after looking at it for a long time. Moreover, in order to blend into the environment, the silver-white protective clothing on their bodies has also turned the same khaki color as the sand.

"Keep going, we're almost there."

Lin Sheng constantly determines the position of the robots and adjusts their direction according to the orientation.

Shen Yao followed Lin Sheng obediently, and the two of them moved forward little by little. Without the use of thrusters to accelerate, their speed was as slow as a snail, moving slowly and with difficulty in the desert.

"Ouch, be careful!"

Lin Sheng suddenly screamed, and then his whole body continued to seep downwards.

Shen Yao jumped back subconsciously, then reached out and grabbed Lin Sheng's arm, using the force of the thrusters to slowly pull him out of the quicksand.

That’s right, what Lin Sheng accidentally stepped on was quicksand, which is very easy to encounter in the desert.

Because the quicksand only moved in this area and there was no reaction in other places, and the passing robots were small and would not disturb the quicksand, which led to Lin Sheng stepping into it without any preparation.

"Thank you"

Lin Sheng thanked Shen Yao embarrassedly. Even without Shen Yao's help, he could still get out, but he would need to use other tools in his backpack.

The mission has not been fully completed yet, and no one knows what will happen next. Lin Sheng also doesn't want to expose his methods so early, so his thanks were spoken sincerely.

Shen Yao waved her hand and suggested that they should be as careful as possible on the next route.

The quicksand just now reminded them that even in the interstellar world, where human life expectancy has doubled, people will still encounter various dangers when going out.

No matter how rich the prepared items were, they were still not enough. Shen Yao took out the robot from her backpack, transformed it into the shape of a robot dog, imported the drawn map route into it, and walked in front to lead the way instead of Lin Sheng.

We walked and walked, from the time when the sun was shining in the sky to the time when the sun was setting.

The two finally found a small area where energy fruits grew.

The area is not large, and there are several energy fruits growing inside. They are very beautiful and crystal clear ovals, hanging on the branches and shining.

The two of them picked all the energy fruits in tacit understanding, then moved away from the area and found a sheltered hillside to rest for the night.

The tent was taken out of the backpack, quickly set up and everyone went in.

As for the night watch, the first half of the night will be given to Shen Yao, and the second half will be given to Lin Sheng.

There is still no conclusion on what the temporary team on the bracelet is or what happened to Shi Qing and the other two.

"We must be prepared for the worst. The two of us may have to collect all the energy fruits." If Shi Qing and his three companions cannot make it in time, the team's mission will fall on them.

"Okay, let's explore the desert these few days and collect as many energy fruits as possible."

The message was sent through the bracelet. Shen Yao browsed other messages that could be seen. When she felt sleepy, she quickly took out the refreshing spray and sprayed it.

Outside the tent was an uninhabited desert with a bonfire not far away.

Shen Yao sat at the entrance of the tent. Alarms were posted along the place where they rested, and even the system was helping to monitor the surroundings.

Looking at the starry night sky, Shen Yao's thoughts slowly drifted away.

Until there was a rustling sound from the tent where Lin Sheng was, and the bracelet lit up, it was Lin Sheng who woke up.

I yawned and fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes again it was the next day.

Everything went well last night and they encountered no danger. They planned to go deeper into the desert where more energy fruits would be produced.

Unlike the task of hunting long-toothed tigers, the amount of energy fruits to be collected is relatively large. If the two of them are tasked with collecting the entire team, they need to work very hard.

Lin Sheng's expression was not very good. Shen Yao knew what was going on without asking. The absent trio had not been contacted, and there were only the two of them exploring the desert.

"Shen Yao, let's go."

Lin Sheng patted his face and cheered himself up.

Breakfast is a simple, tasteless nutritional supplement. After eating one, you don't need to eat for the whole day.

The robot dog that Shen Yao released yesterday was still leading the way, and Lin Sheng's robot was responsible for exploring the way.

They were luckier today and found several energy fruit growth sites.

And the robots that crawled the farthest brought back good news, as if they had poked a hole in the energy tree.

Lin Sheng's face turned red. Besides the fact that the energy fruit was part of an exploration mission, the energy fruit could also be sold for federal coins.

Shen Yao was collecting information while wondering, and asked the system to pay attention to the surroundings while not forgetting the underground.

"Energy fruit is the food of red ants. It makes no sense that we can't see red ants here."

As a result, the two of them wandered around for a day and a half, but didn't even see a single red ant hair.

"Host, you are too cautious," the system replied lightly, and then howled heartbreakingly.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao subconsciously covered her ears. Lin Sheng, who was beside her, noticed her movement and quickly observed the surrounding situation. After making sure that nothing was wrong, he reached out to support Shen Yao and showed concern for her physical condition.

Shen Yao pointed to the ground, her face pale, "I feel anxious, let's leave quickly."

leave?

Why leave?

There are still so many energy fruits that have not been picked!

Lin Sheng wanted to refute Shen Yao, but Shen Yao's face was too pale.

Swallowing the topic that was about to come to his lips, Lin Sheng hurriedly turned the robot back, and then pulled Shen Yao outside.

Walking is definitely not as good as crawling. Shen Yao listened to the system broadcast of the approaching army of red ants, gritted her teeth, activated the thruster behind her, and pulled Lin Sheng to fly to the sand slope not far away.

Lin Sheng:……???

Lin Sheng was a little angry because Shen Yao did not inform him of her actions in advance.

Just like when Tang Wen and Zheng Hui left, it gave people a feeling of disrespect.

Shen Yao didn't have time to care about Lin Sheng's unhappiness. She patted Lin Sheng on the shoulder and pointed at a small red dot that appeared not far away.

"Something's coming."

Lin Sheng turned his head and saw a patch of red sparkling in the sun.

The appearance of red ants is not surprising. It can even be said that it would be strange if there were no red ants around the energy fruit.

However, "the number is too large, and they are moving towards us," Lin Sheng took out the thruster and placed it behind his waist, clicked the button to start, and quickly left the red ants.

They thought they could escape this way, but unexpectedly they encountered red ants popping up on the road.

Clusters of red ants are like flowers blooming in the desert. They are beautiful from a distance but scary when you look at them up close.

Lin Sheng and Shen Yao each took out their weapons for self-defense and directly counterattacked after encountering the red ants' attack.

Unfortunately, the Tang sword is still too big for the red ants, and most of them can escape after one swing.

Shen Yao took out a lighter, lit it directly, and threw it into the red ant colony along with the fuel.

Good news, fire attack is effective. Bad news, it is not very effective.

Lin Sheng took this as inspiration and tried water attacks, thunder attacks, and all kinds of random attacks.

The thruster carried them far away. Behind and below them were red ants with bared fangs and claws, wanting to attack them.

Shen Yao wanted to take out her particle cannon and fire it, but unfortunately Lin Sheng was there, so she couldn't use it.

Continuing to fly forward, the red ants behind him were also left behind.

When the two were about to breathe a sigh of relief and take a break, a huge monster suddenly appeared in front of them.

It turned out to be an anthill built by red ants. Its entire body was oval in shape, with "arms" on both sides swinging and stretching forward continuously.

After sucking in a breath of cold air, the two of them flew to their sides, narrowly avoiding the attacks of the red ants.

Shen Yao reached out and patted it, and as expected, the khaki protective suit on her body made a crackling sound.

The mouthparts of red ants are corrosive and can corrode everything.

Although the protective clothing produced by the Federation is made of superior material, it cannot withstand the strong acid of the red ants. Shen Yao can only try her best to avoid the red ants falling on her body.

Lin Sheng was forced to separate from Shen Yao, and as more and more red ants continued to gather, the straight-line distance between the two became increasingly farther.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao sent a message to Lin Sheng, then turned around and flew away.

After leaving Lin Sheng, Shen Yao no longer waited, but took out a particle cannon and blasted at the red ants behind him.

The energy of the particle cannon is very great. With one shot, the group of red ants were blown to pieces without leaving any trace.

Shen Yao saw the effect and used the power of the thruster to move around and attack continuously.

Soon, the ground was covered with fine black residue, which was scattered everywhere when the wind blew.

These were the remains left by the red ants, and after killing with an expressionless face, Shen Yao finally got rid of the group of red ants that were chasing her.

After dealing with the trouble behind her, Shen Yao did not contact Lin Sheng immediately, but instead actively explored the surroundings with the help of the thruster behind her.

If she found energy fruits, she would collect them. If she found red ants, she would just use the particle cannon to deal with them. Particle cannons are easy to charge anyway, and she carries the tools with her in her space.

Shen Yao was busy all the way until it was evening and she had to find a place to rest for the night.

The system was honest this time and began a 360-degree exploration and investigation.

They were afraid that the previous missed detection incident would happen again and cause trouble to the host.

The system worked diligently and responsibly, and Shen Yao couldn't say anything too unpleasant.

After taking out the previous set, Shen Yao also placed a few more robots for safety reasons.

Lying down in the tent with her clothes on, Shen Yao was about to close her eyes and rest until tomorrow, when she suddenly heard a sound from the system.

'problem occurs? ’

Shen Yao opened her eyes again and looked at the ordinary roof of the tent.

'Someone is running by, followed by a herd of giant animals.'

At the normal speed of humans in other worlds, they would not be able to reach Shen Yao's location even at dawn.

But this is an interstellar world, and the host has to install a thruster when going out. With the help of the fast-moving mecha, the man can meet in just half an hour.
