The group returned to the camp by the lake. The improvised huts built by the wild people are still there, and some of the food they have gathered is stored in them.

But I don't know if there was too much backlog or because the three suns had dried out all the moisture in the ground, some of the ripe wild fruits full of moisture had begun to rot, and a few long melons that looked like cucumbers had also become shriveled, as if they had been left for several days, and only those fruits with hard shells were still edible.

Everyone just thinks it's incredible, is the fruit here too peculiar? Or did they run back and forth, and it had actually been two or three days?

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

"Mr. Stone, how long has it been since we've eaten with that atomic clock in your head?" Boris said.

"The Atomic Clock of Consciousness can tell me how long it has been on Earth, but here—" Situ said, pointing to the sky, "the time under the three suns can only be felt by yourself." ”

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

At this time, everyone doesn't care about the issue of time, the gurgling stomach is affecting people's brains, even the shriveled and tasteless melons and fruits have become delicious at the moment.

Everyone hurriedly ate something, and then went to the woods to gather more food. Fortunately, the woods here are dense, there are many wild fruits, and there are samples of food picked by wild people before, and they are not afraid of eating poisonous things. The only thing to worry about is the possible presence of traps and some poisonous insects in the woods.

The women picked wild vegetables on the ground, while the men climbed higher trees to pick the fruits. Anderson and Boris went fishing at the lake, and although they lacked tools, they were both masters of fishing, and with a single spear they were able to get several fish, except that they looked a little strange.

The group loaded the food onto the boat and sailed to the frigate Swordfish, which was parked in the middle of the lake.

They killed the fish in the water, washed them, and dried them on the deck of the Swordfish. When the fish were killed, more fish were attracted, and one of the fish looked very large, a bit like a shark. Anderson subdued it with Boris and towed it onto the boat.

"Do you think this guy will swim a thousand light-years to get here?" Anderson patted Big Fish's belly and said.

Boris cut the flesh of the fish with a dagger, and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter how long he swims, it's our belly anyway!" ”

"If only the galley on board worked." Anderson said.

"That's impossible." Ivan came over to help them, "Mr. Stone said that the ship had been in the space-time stationary zone for at least a hundred, maybe a thousand years, and that the galleys would be out of use, and that we would have to go back to shore and get some dry firewood." ”

They returned to shore in a small boat, and returned with a boatload of dead branches and leaves, and made a number of pine resin torches, which they were to keep for the evening for lighting.

"I don't think it's going to be dark this day, let's make a fire and cook." Situ said.

When they were on the shore, they just hurriedly got something not very fresh to pad their stomachs, and this proposal was unanimously supported.

Thankfully, Ivan still had flint on him, and the sparks from the impact of an unknown stone could quickly ignite the dry velvet. Otherwise, they would have wasted the few bullets they had left to ignite the fire.

However, Ivan had not yet started, but Petru had a whim, took his half of the fire soul and said, "Let me try." ”

The crowd didn't know why, but he glanced up at the sun in the sky, and then pointed the thinner end of the Fire Soul at the dead grass that had been piled up among the branches on the deck. He closed his eyes and looked focused, as if he would make the coral branch in his hand burst into flames.

Boris laughed when he saw it: "What are you doing here, thinking that you have a flamethrower or a laser gun in your hand?" It's better to shoot a shot! ”

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

Boris scratched his head and said, "I'm just making a show, not a real shot." Look at Redbeard, he's crazy! I think he's alien-possessed, well, it must be like that! ”

Before he could finish speaking, white smoke suddenly rose from the pyre, right where Petru's fire spirit was pointing. Then, some of the leaves glowed red, which didn't look very noticeable in the sunlight, but everyone knew that they were ignited.

"Damn, this is not scientific!" Boris shouted.

Aoki also felt unscientific, but remembered that he was a thousand light years away from Earth, and the heroic lieutenant colonel he had just met was in the command room of the bridge, and had turned into a thousand-year-old corpse, what the fuck was there to talk about?

His head ached a little, and he could clearly feel the grip of the crow's claws on his scalp. The willow branch in his arms came with a hint of the throbbing of spring's life. He looked up at the sun in the sky, and suddenly thought of something, but his mind was as confused as a jar.

Su Huilan pulled Aoki's clothes and whispered, "There's something wrong with Redbeard." ”

Aoki shook his head and said, "It's not that he has a problem, it's that everything here has a problem." ”

Su Huilan was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Situ, and found that Situ was squinting his eyes and looking up at the sky. Looking at Dewar again, Dewar was sitting on the edge of the deck meditating against the railing, the sun shining on her face like a jade statue of a Bodhisattva.

The fire burned. Anderson grilled the skewered fish on the fire, and the wafting aroma made people forget about the scientific and unscientific questions, and kept swallowing saliva.

After all, it was too hot on deck, and Aoki proposed, "Let's go and rest in the cabin, and eat the fish when it's cooked." ”

Alice suddenly remembered the dried corpse in the cabin, and said a little frightened, "There are dead people in the cabin." ”

Boris said disdainfully: "So what? They are all too dead to die, and they will not come to fight you for food. ”

Alice gave the talkative and rough Russian a disgusted look, and said, "I don't want to eat in a room with a mummy." ”

Boris was about to say something, but Ivan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boris, let's go and help the lieutenant commander move his position, he is sitting on the bridge and does not interfere with the view and rest after dark." ”

Boris had always been obedient to Ivan, and said helplessly: "Well, I have always done the rough work of throwing corpses into the water." I'm curious about what the lieutenant colonel looks like when he floats out of the water, and if he will become white and fat. ”

Boris's words were terrifying to hear, and Alice cried out: "Hey, the dead are greater, can you not throw him into the water, put him in the cabin below, and let him stay with his crew!" ”

Ivan nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Oh, women are so troublesome!" Boris grumbled, took a pine torch, walked up to Petru, stretched out his hand and said, "Borrow a fire, brother." ”

Petru angrily pointed to the fire burning next to him and said, "There's a fire there!" ”

Boris turned around stupidly, "I just wanted to try your new lighter." ”

He lit a torch and walked into the bridge with Ivan. After a while, Boris's irascible roar was heard from the bridge: "Damn, how can this dress turn to dust when you touch it!" ……”

Then there was another loud bang, and then it fell silent.

All that remained on deck was the sound of wood popping in the fire.
