Chapter 589

Everyone returned to the camp by the lake. The simple huts built by the wild people are still there, storing some of the food they collected.

But I don't know whether it's because there's too much backlog or because three Suns have dried out the moisture under the ground. Some mature wild fruits full of water have begun to rot, and several long melons that look like cucumbers have become shriveled. It's like putting them for several days, leaving only those fruits with hard shells that can be eaten.

People just think it's incredible. Is the fruit here too strange? Or did they run back and forth for two or three days?

At the thought of this, people suddenly felt very tired and their hunger became stronger.

"Mr. stone, using the atomic clock in your head, how long have we not eaten?" Boris said.

"The atomic clock of consciousness can tell me how long has passed on the earth, but here --" situ pointed to the sky and said, "you can only feel the time under the three suns by yourself."

It was still bright, and the three suns were hanging there. There was no sign of going down at all.

At the moment, we don't care about time. Gulu's stomach is affecting people's brain. Even the shriveled and tasteless melons and fruits have become delicious at the moment.

Everyone ate in a hurry and then went to the woods to collect more food. Fortunately, the woods here are dense and there are many wild fruits. With the food picked by savages as samples, we are not afraid to eat poisonous things. The only thing to worry about is the possible traps and some poisonous insects in the forest.

Women pick wild vegetables on the ground, while men climb to higher trees to pick fruit. Anderson and Boris went fishing by the lake. Although they lacked tools, they were both experts in fishing. With a spear, they got several fish, except that they looked a little strange.

Everyone loaded the food into the boat, and then took the boat to the frigate swordfish parked in the middle of the lake.

They killed the fish in the water, washed it, and dried it on the deck of the swordfish. When killing fish, more fish were attracted. One of them looked big and a bit like a shark. Anderson and Boris subdued it and dragged it onto the boat.

"Do you think it took this guy a thousand light years to swim here?" Anderson patted the big fish on the stomach.

Boris cut the fish with a dagger and said carelessly, "no matter how long he swam, it's life in our stomach!"

"If only the ship's kitchen could work," Anderson said.

"That's impossible." Ivan came to help them. "Mr. Stone said that the ship had stayed in the space-time static zone for at least hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years. The kitchen could not be used. We have to go back to the shore and get some dry firewood."

They returned to the shore in a small boat, loaded a boat full of dead branches and leaves, and made a lot of rosin torches for lighting in the evening.

"I don't think it will be dark. Make a fire and cook," situ said.

When we were on the shore, we just hurried to get something not very fresh to cushion our stomachs. This proposal was unanimously supported.

Fortunately, Ivan still has flint on his body. The spark generated by the impact of this unknown stone can quickly ignite the dry velvet grass. If not, they would have to waste the few bullets left to ignite.

However, Ivan had not started yet, but petru had a whim, took his half fire soul and said, "let me try."

They didn't know why, but he looked up at the sun in the sky, and then pointed the thinner end of the soul of fire to the dead grass among the stacked branches on the deck. He closed his eyes and looked attentive, as if this would make the coral branch in his hand spew fire.

Boris laughed: "what are you doing? Do you think you have a flame thrower or a laser gun? It's better to shoot!"

He said he took out his pistol and was about to shoot. Ivan grabbed his arm and said, "you're crazy! Don't waste bullets!"

Boris scratched his head and said, "I'm just acting, not really shooting. Look at red beard, he's crazy! I think he's possessed by aliens. Well, it must be so!"

Before his voice fell, white smoke suddenly rose from the woodpile, just where petru's soul of fire pointed. Then, some leaves gave off red light, which was not obvious in the sun, but everyone knew that they were lit.

"Shit, it's not scientific!" Boris shouted.

Aoki also felt unscientific, but remembered that he was a thousand light-years away from the earth. The heroic Lieutenant Colonel he had just met was in the command room of the bridge and had become a millennium corpse. What fucking science is there to talk about?

His head hurt a little and he clearly felt the grip of crow claws on his scalp. The willow branches in my arms came a throb of spring life. He looked up at the sun in the sky and suddenly thought of something, but his mind was as confused as a mortar jar.

Su Huilan pulled Qingmu's clothes and whispered, "there's a problem with red beard."

Aoki shook his head and said, "it's not him. It's everything here."

Su Huilan was stunned and turned to see situ. She found that situ was squinting up to the sky. Look at dewar. Dewar is sitting on the edge of the deck, sitting against the railing. The sun shines on her face, like a jade statue of a Bodhisattva.

The fire is burning. Anderson roasted the stringed fish on the fire. The floating smell made people forget the problems of science and unscientific, and kept swallowing.

After all, it was too hot on the deck. Aoki suggested, "let's go to the cabin and have a rest. When the fish is cooked, take it in and eat."

Alice suddenly remembered the mummified body in the cabin and said with a little fear, "there are dead people in the cabin."

Boris said disdainfully, "so what? They are too dead to die anymore. They won't come to grab food with you."

Alice looked at the talkative and rude Russian with disgust and said, "I don't want to eat in the same room with a mummy."

What else did Boris want to say? Ivan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boris, let's help the lieutenant colonel move his position. It's really inconvenient for him to sit on the bridge and rest after dark."

Boris obeyed Yi Wanxiang and said helplessly, "well, I always do the rough work of throwing bodies into the water. I'm curious about what the lieutenant colonel looks like when he floats out of the water and whether he will become white fat."

Boris's words were creepy, and Alice cried, "Hey, the dead man is big. Can you not throw him into the water, put him in the cabin under the bottom, and let him stay with his crew!"

Ivan nodded and said, "OK."

"Oh, women are so troublesome!" Boris complained, took a turpentine torch, went up to petru, reached out and said, "borrow a fire, brother."

Petru angrily pointed to the burning fire nearby and said, "there's a fire there!"

Boris turned bitterly. "I just want to try your new lighter."

He lit a torch and walked into the bridge with Ivan. After a while, people heard Boris's angry roar from the bridge: "shit, how can this dress turn into ash when touched!..."

Then there was a clang, and then it was quiet.

All that was left on the deck was the sound of wood bursting in the fire.
