What time is it?

Lying on the ground, Chen Shi pondered how long he had been here.

He remembered the last time he returned to Earth after more than ten hours, and this time, he didn't know how long he had been teleported away, only that he was still asleep at that time.

Judging from the sleep situation, he was not sleepy after being teleported, which means that when he was teleported, it should be more than five to six o'clock in the morning.

So by this calculation, it is now around 14 to 16 pm on December 18.

For an ordinary person, it is not difficult to calculate the time by mental calculation, and according to this estimate, he is basically at the point where he is about to be teleported away.

The premise is that the unknown civilization does not change.

Speaking of which, is this mysterious intelligent life the "locals" of this metal city?

Although it doesn't seem to be human, it has quite a lot in common with humans......

And what makes Chen Shi feel strange is that from the perspective of the city itself, the level of science and technology should be quite high, but the actions and dresses of this intelligent life cannot match the level of science and technology of this city.

Figuratively, it is like a primitive person who came to modern society, and the sense of disobedience is very strong.

Turning over and over, Chen Shi thought left and right, and gradually, because of fatigue, his eyelids began to be unable to open. The temperature of this room was very mild, and it was very easy for people to fall into a deep sleep, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

The reason why he woke up was that his stomach hurt, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that strange and mysterious intelligent life stepped on his stomach and yawned.

Nima, treat me like a carpet?

Chen Shi was angry and anxious, and stood up with his hands.

It ignored Chen Shi, got out of bed and got into the pile of clutter beside the bed, and laboriously moved something out and placed it on the table.

"What the hell is this?"

Chen Shi fixed his eyes and was suddenly startled.

Inside the transparent glass box, there was a strange-shaped creature lying on its stomach, its whole body was like a red-hot octopus, the surface was covered with dense eyes, and there were many tiny tentacles all over its body. Such an image directly reminded Chen Shi of the evil god in the Cthulhu mythos.

"Ahhhhhhh......h

The monster inside the glass box made a "yaa" sound like a baby's cry, and with its terrifying image, it was enough to make people tremble, and they hardly dared to look at it more.

Compared with Chen Shi's heartfelt cold, it was not afraid, took out pellets similar to feed from the small box on the side, opened the top lid on the glass box, and sprinkled a large handful of pellets inside.

"Ahhhhhhh......h

The monster squirmed, unfolding the tiny tentacles on its body, and the viscous liquid rolled up the spilled particles, and I didn't know the specific way of eating, but I could only see the tentacles that swept past, but I couldn't see where the sticky particles went.

After feeding the "feed", it closed the top lid of the glass box again, and easily turned around and looked at Chen Shi.

Is this its pet?

Chen Shi suddenly said, just like humans on earth like to raise tigers and lions at home, if aliens see it, they may feel very strange, but in the eyes of humans, this is a very normal thing.

And here he is, in fact, playing the role of an alien, in fact, in the eyes of this intelligent life, this should be just an ordinary pet.

Soon, however, Chen Shi began to struggle with how to communicate with this intelligent life.

That's right!

Chen Shi's eyes lit up.

What is the universal language of the universe?

Do you need to think about it?

It's math, for sure!

Give him a pen and a piece of paper, and maybe he will be able to communicate with this intelligent being...... Scanning the room, he gave up on the idea.

In a scrapyard-like room, you don't think there is such a thing as pen and paper, let alone pen and paper, which may have been obsolete.

After glancing at Chen Shi, it retracted its gaze and rummaged through the garbage heap again, Chen Shi was puzzled and stood in place. But immediately, he touched his throat, and the pain of his dry mouth made him can't help but look at the valve of the pipe.

After so much sweat and without taking a sip of water, his mouth had already cracked, and his throat seemed to be sparkling all the time, and he really wanted to drink a glass of water.

As soon as the valve of that pipe was unscrewed, water flowed down, like tap water. But he didn't know if this kind of water could be drunk by humans.

He remembered that half a year ago, because he was too thirsty, he casually drank a glass of tap water from the faucet, and as a result, he had diarrhea several times......

The tap water with a little more bacteria is like this, and the hell knows what the water in the pipes of this alien planet is going on......

I drank and died of diarrhea...... It is also quite possible.

Chen Shi pursed his lips, he was so thirsty, he was really thirsty.

He sweated too much today, and his desire for water was ten times stronger than if he didn't drink water for a day. As soon as the thought of drinking water came to mind, it almost killed him.

Thirst, dizziness, heartbeat like a drum, shortness of breath......

Chen Shi was shocked, could it be that he was about to become dehydrated?

The common sense of dehydration is known to everyone, and the symptoms of this dehydration are no more obvious, Chen Shi grabbed his throat and scratched, no, if he doesn't drink water again, or if he doesn't teleport back to Earth, he may really die here.

“%……@##￥￥”

Chen Shi, who was dizzy, was about to step to unscrew the valve of the pipe, when suddenly, it seemed to have found something from the garbage heap and handed it to Chen Shi.

What is it?

Chen Shi looked down in confusion and saw that in the middle of its two claws, a metal collar was glowing.

Collar?

What the hell?

Chen Shi looked at it in puzzlement, and saw that its two bright, amber gem eyes exuded a dazzling and charming light, and at a glance, Chen Shi almost couldn't take his eyes off it.

Chen Shi's puzzlement made him not reach out to take the collar, it tilted its head and thought about it, grabbed the collar and tried it on its neck, then pointed at Chen Shi, and handed it to him.

Gift?

Chen Shi suddenly realized, is this a gift?

Yes, since this intelligent life has not shown hostility from beginning to end, and is particularly friendly, it shows that the other party has good intentions. And it is very normal for a well-intentioned intelligent life to give another intelligent life a gift to express its friendship.

Chen Shi nodded, stretched out his hand to take it, looked carefully, and found that the surface of this collar was a silver metallic luster, after polishing, it was smooth and neat, there were no nicks, and there was no text.

It's a strange gift.

Chen Shi didn't see anything unusual, but out of caution, he didn't put anything around his neck. Instead, he said thank you and hung the collar around his wrist.
