As the last dim rays of the sun vanished in the mountains in the distance, Li Qing and Ling Qi pushed open the door of their small courtyard and returned to the house.

Li Che was sitting by the window, and when he saw them coming back, he happily came up to greet her, Li Qing touched her head, and for the first time felt at home on this planet.

It was almost dark, there was almost no light outside, and it was pitch black inside the house. Suzu Qi didn't know what to find out from the drawer, and then, a faint small lamp appeared, and in the small lamp there was a young man seedling who was constantly swaying in the air, and it looked like it could go out at any time.

Li Che cooked soup during the day, and the three of them sat around the table and drank it with a small lamp.

After drinking, Suzuki took Li Qing to the corner of the big house, where there was a wooden bed, although it was very old and the paint was peeling, but it was very clean, and the bed was neatly arranged with pillows and quilts.

"In the past, 'Li Qing' slept here, but now, this is yours, and there is your change of clothes in the wooden box at the foot of the bed," Ling Qi said, pointing to a large and bulky wooden box, "Stay at home and sleep at night, don't run around, Li Che and I sleep in the back room, go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow morning to work." After saying that, Ling Qi extinguished the small lamp and led Li Che to the back room.

Li Qing lay on the bed, thinking about the experience of this day, the more he thought about it, the more tired he became, and he fell asleep unconsciously。。。。。。

"Brother, get up, it's dawn." Li Che said while shaking Li Qing.

Li Qing opened his eyes and felt that he had just fallen asleep and was woken up, still very sleepy。。。。。。 He sat up and saw that it was still dark in the room, and the sun was not yet visible outside the window, but he did feel that the darkness was slowly fading, and the dim dawn was gradually coming.

Li Qing saw Li Che's thin little figure with breakfast on the table, so he got up and took out a random set of clothes from the wooden box to change into and walked over.

"Where's Suzuchi?" Li Qing asked.

"Sister went to organize everyone to gather first, let's go over after eating." Li Che said.

"Oh, let's eat then." Li Qing said that for what will happen today, Li Qing is looking forward to worrying, after yesterday's chaotic day, Li Qing already vaguely knows in his heart where the road he will take in the future, facing the unknown world, he wants to go for a while.

After eating, Li Che took Li Qing out of the house and went straight through the ruins where Li Qing was first found, and arrived at a small clearing.

The pioneers came here from different directions in twos and threes, and lined up one by one.

Li Qing saw Ling Qi and Jin Mao talking at the front, and above their heads, a blood-colored red sun had already revealed their heads.

Li Qing walked to Ling Qi's side, and Ling Qi whispered to him: "Today is your first time working in the mountains, you must not act without permission, you must follow me and Li Che firmly, and don't talk too much." ”

"Okay, I will." Li Qing said.

After speaking, Suzu Qi led everyone to set off. Thirty minutes later, the pioneers entered the mountain, and Li Qing saw the sign at the entrance that read: Xi'er Mountain.

After walking for about another twenty minutes, they came to a clearing in the mountains, where they stopped. It is surrounded by mountain walls, and along the mountain walls, there is a row of small three-story buildings.

"This is where this workspace is located." Suzuchi said.

The procession of pioneers formed into a line, and one by one they passed through the gate next to the station, each of them assigned a burlap bag. Li Qing followed Ling Qi and Li Che, and the three of them walked in.

Inside the gate was full of broken rocks and the stumps of trees, and the pioneers soon dispersed, and the vast mountain area soon disappeared.

Ling Qi took Li Che and walked to a pile of stones, she bent down and groped in it for a while, and finally picked up a palm-sized stone, brought it to Li Qing, and said, "What do you think is special about this stone?" ”

Li Qing took it and took it to his eyes for a closer look.

At first, he saw only a black stone, no different from that on earth; However, after looking at it for a few seconds, he noticed a miraculous thing, and the originally black stone began to look strange.

Li Qing could see a faint blue light inside the stone, which began to appear along the texture of the stone, like blue fireflies flying through the dark forest. After a while, the entire interior of the stone was covered in a blue glow, which was very beautiful.

"What is this, how can there be blue light in the stone?" Li Qing looked up and asked.

"This is not an ordinary stone, this is a 'power stone', a source of energy that we rely on to survive in this world." Ling Qi took back the stone and sat down against the stone pile, and Li Qing and Li Che also sat next to her.

"About a hundred years ago, a pure black star appeared in the sky above the Muying Planet, blocking most of the light of the sun, we call it the 'dark star', due to the appearance of the dark star, the Muying Planet fell into a dimness, the day is basically semi-dark, and at night, it is even more invisible to the five fingers, this darkness brings us not only the desire for light, but also brings us the threat of death.

"Darkness - provides a natural environment for the dark ghosts to live, and every day at night, people die - they are tortured to death by the dark ghosts.

"At first, everyone was terrified, feeling that the end of the world was coming, but as time went on, some people discovered that the reason why dark ghosts only appeared at night was because they were afraid of light, and as a result, light became a sought-after necessity on the planet, more valuable than gold.

"There is a large area of mountainous areas on the Shadow Planet, and this kind of stone is abundant in the mountains - people name them 'power stones', this kind of stone is mined by people, minted into energy coins, and put into energy slots, it will produce light, and we are the miners of power stones."

After Suzuchi finished speaking, he put the stone in his hand into the cloth bag, stood up and said, "Our job is to find this stone in this piece of rubble and hand it over to the station." ”

Li Qing got up, looked at the mountains and rocks, and couldn't help asking, "What does our work have to do with the shooting team?" ”

"This rubble is the shooting team that blew up, I know you want to get into the shooting team, I will help you too, but now is not the time, trust me, it won't be a long wait." Ling Qi looked at Li Qing and said sincerely.

"I believe in you." Li Qing returned.

In this way, Li Qing started the first day of "scavenging" work, with work, all the worries in his heart seemed to go away with the wind, and after a full half of the day, Li Qing, Ling Qi, and Li Che carried a bag full of energy stones and returned to the station.

Many of the pioneers have returned, and it seems that everyone wants to eat and rest here.

Li Qing poured the stones in the bag onto the recycling cart, and just as he was about to leave, he turned around and was surrounded by three people.

"Li Qing! You're not dead? The leading young man shouted to him in surprise.

"Li Qing, I'm sorry for you, it's all my fault!" Another short boy said, his face full of apologies, and he burst into tears.

"Don't cry, Yarrow, isn't he still alive?" Another tall teenager comforted.

"Li Qing, if you say something, we all thought you were dead, and everyone was worried." The three of you have a sentence, I have a sentence, Li Qing didn't know how to answer, Ling Qi told him not to talk too much, what if he was exposed? These three people should be good friends of 'Li Qing', if they are discovered, it will be over!

"Uh, I 。。。。。。。" Li Qing said hesitantly.

At this time, Li Che ran over from not far away, shouting as he ran: "Brother, ignore them, they are the ones who hurt you!" ”
