Chapter 2: Survival
Among the materials found this time was a scrapped light brain, and I don't know if it was on the battleship or the mecha, the boy didn't understand, but he knew that the food he got today could last him for a week.
"I'm going to exchange the best bread." Finally, it was the turn of the teenager in line, and he hurriedly said to the person at the exchange window.
"Yo, Xiao Zhengjie, this harvest is quite good." The man in the exchange window said to the teenager, the people in these big gangs are not all extremely vicious people, most of them are gangs that will be organized by themselves because they want to survive, and their lives in the gang are undoubtedly much better than those of wanderers like teenagers.
"Well, it's not bad, Uncle Jack, hurry up and help me exchange it, it's too hot outside." Chen Zhengjie said.
"Okay, good bread, Uncle Jack got you some nutritious water this time, drink it when you get home, it's a good thing to make your thin body stronger.
"Thank you, Uncle Jack." Chen Zhengjie thanked Jack for the bread and nutritious water handed over by him.
It's also thanks to his grandfather who would do a little handicraft when he was alive, and often helped everyone tinker or something, so the relationship was pretty good, if it weren't for Chen Zhengjie's age, otherwise the gang would definitely take him in after his grandfather died.
Satisfied, he returned to his metal nest with bread and nutritional water, and after carefully hiding the food, Chen Zhengjie opened the nutritional water in his hand, looked at the clear blue potion inside, and drank it directly without hesitation.
These nutrient water are all good things, not only can enhance the physique but also allow humans to give out some magical small abilities, but this probability is only a pitiful less than 5%, Chen Zhengjie also hopes that he can become one of the less than 5% of human beings, but when the stars set down, they did not look forward to the appearance of small abilities, generally speaking, half an hour to an hour or so after the verification of this nutrient water, it can give out various abilities, and he has waited for 5 hours and has not found any ability.
Shaking his head in disappointment, he covered his cloak and lay down to sleep to conserve his strength, looking forward to the next delivery of garbage by the garbage boat, but in the short term, his life guarantee is no problem.
During the waiting time, Chen Zhengjie was idle and had nothing to do anyway, so he simply made a few animal traps according to the method taught by his grandfather before his death, these animal traps are all to catch those small rodents, don't you say, on this abandoned planet, putting a little bread crumbs in the cage has a great chance of catching a little small animal, so that you can improve the food situation.
It's not that others won't make these traps, but the method of making them is completely different, and the chances of catching them are also the same.
Chen Zhengjie relies on this craft to be able to eat more than one meal of meat every once in a while, but does that taste...... It's better to be alive than anything else, that's all it can say.
When he was bored, there was a sound from the animal trap outside, and Chen Zhengjie jumped up like a spring, and he was able to eat barbecue meat this day.
Lifting the animal trap back to the metal nest, it caught the mice that had been stealing food, don't underestimate the mice living on the abandoned planet, the mice caught by Chen Zhengjie are basically round, to say that such fat mice should not come to steal bread crumbs, it's just that these mice can't resist the fragrance of bread crumbs, which is also cheap Chen Zhengjie's snack goods that are growing their bodies.
After peeling the skin, removing the internal organs and other inedible things, it is directly grilled on a metal plate, because of the high temperature, this thing is much less troublesome than roasting on the fire, and those internal organs can also trap some birds in the sky if they are lucky, and the taste of the birds is ...... Chen Zhengjie will drool when he thinks about it, but now the birds in the sky are all fierce and huge, and it is really not easy to successfully capture them.
Chen Zhengjie still feels a little unsatisfied after eating the roasted rat sprinkled with salt, it would be better if there was a bird, but it would be delicious to be able to eat it and save a few days of rations.
But this matter can only depend on luck, the number of birds on this planet is already very scarce, and it is not known how long it will take for their population to increase when they reproduce, after all, it is not easy to survive on this planet.
Saving a day's rations, Chen Zhengjie is now satisfied, anyway, he is idle, he opened the book left by his grandfather and read it carefully, some mechanical maintenance and processing methods are basically memorized by him, but for the few books on this planet, it is still good to look through them when you have time.
Now because he is only 11 years old, he has no way to go to the gang to do some small work because of his lack of strength and height, otherwise he will not have to live so this planet, but rough processing some of the parts he picks up can be exchanged for more food, which is also a good craft.
People all over the planet are trying to find ways to survive, and they are all thinking of ways to get more supplies to survive as long as possible.
Chen Zhengjie didn't have to wait for many days, and the spaceship carrying the garbage came to the abandoned star in the middle of the night to dump a boatload of garbage, Chen Zhengjie repeated the previous life, waiting for the first wave of rummaging crowds to leave, and immediately entered his area to rummage.
A little lucky, this time he found a few useful things, including some spoiled food, and I don't know if the adults in this area knew that he, the little kid, would come back after they left to pick up the leak and deliberately leave a little bit late at night, or if they didn't have enough ability to find valuable items? Anyway, Chen Zhengjie's harvest tonight is not bad, some things can be exchanged directly at the exchange point, and some can be directly taken home and then processed, so that the value of these items is not a problem, if he has the technology of light brain repair, the light brain he picked up last time may be able to try to repair it, if the repair is successful, then he will not have to be busy for survival.
However, he also understands a truth, now if he has too much food as a child, it will cause others to be greedy, so he does not dare to exchange too many things at once, and the food can be stored for about a week at most, so now there are a lot of processed parts in the small nest of more than 3 square meters.
