Chapter 11: Solving Food and Clothing

Xiao Yao touched his cooing stomach through the spacesuit, and the crew on the space transport spacecraft only gave them a tube of nutritional life support solution every day, barely able to maintain the nutrients and water quality needed for survival, and was always hungry and thirsty, and when he came to this VXR-067 mineral star, the stingy guard Changtie Ankang didn't even provide the first full meal, and the air compression tank that needed to be carried to mine only had 24 hours left, and the first problem for Xiao Yao was to solve the problem of food and clothing, Directly grab the ore collected by other survival bases, the lack of intelligence is easy to fall into the air, and it is easy to get resentful, so you can only rely on yourself, start mining, and exchange the ore for the much-needed food, water and air compression tanks.

Xiao Yao had just asked the six scruffy guys if there were any mines nearby that could be mined. The reply of the six was to mine safe mines in this mineral star, there were only three left, and the six survival bases were bloodied for this, and people were injured every day, and there was a mine cave nearby, and there were a lot of valuable ores, but there were silt-like monsters, and the former leader of the seventh survival base was killed there.

The hungry snack goods took the initiative to ask for battle, and wanted to eat those silt-like monsters, Xiao Yao had to tell the snack goods in his mind: "The image of the silt thing, it is likely to be a kind of creature similar to Tai Sui, it is a collection of active metal atoms, in a certain sense, it is already a living organism, its strength depends on the strength of the active metal it fuses, the longer it survives, the stronger its combat effectiveness, it is not only to produce acid and alkali solution, but also to carry out some incredible offensive methods such as electromagnetic wave attacks, which should not be underestimated, Let's take a look at the combat effectiveness of these guys first. ”

Xiao Yao asked everyone to put on a spacesuit, carry mining tools, and evenly poured out an air compression to lead the way to the old man who was familiar with the location of the silt monster mine, and the mighty team of twenty-six people set off from the survival base, and the spies from other survival bases along the way were tracking and watching from a distance behind.

Xiao Yao looked at the bottomless hole that was vertically downward, and calmly ordered: "I'll go down first, and in an hour, if I don't climb up along the rope, you can re-elect the leader, open up a new mine, and don't come to these mines with silt monsters again." ”

Xiao Yao carried a mining tool kit on his back, held a searchlight in one hand, and slid down with a rope in the other, and a two-square-meter black unknown object rushed towards Xiao Yao in the slide, Xiao Yao's shoulder flashed with purple light, and the black unknown object disappeared, and the monkey-like snack with purple fluorescence sat on Xiao Yao's shoulder, his arm seemed to be made of rubber, stretched at will, and quickly deducted something from the rock wall of the mine and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiao Yao knew that if he could eat the appetite of the snack goods, there would be nothing bad, so he said in his mind: "Snack goods, leave some good ore and put it in the basket on my back, my group of people still have to eat and drink, without them, you and I will fight against a group of Zerg alone, and there will be more than one luck." ”

The snack goods were very reluctant to throw a few pieces of ore into the basket, and along the way they ate three pieces of black and unknown objects of a few square meters, and the snack goods began to throw more ore into the basket generously.

Xiao Yao grabbed the rope and landed on a platform, saw the rocks under his feet and around him emitting colorful fluorescence, recognized that these were expensive radioactive metal ore, and immediately began to excavate and mine the whole piece to avoid damaging the rock layer of the original ore and causing the radioactive metal inside to overflow.

While carefully digging the raw ore, Xiao Yao instructed: "Snack goods, you can see if there are any silt monsters around, try to clean them up, and finally leave a live silt monster, let me see what it looks like, you can eat it again." ”

The snack goods turned into a purple lightning bolt and disappeared from Xiao Xiao's shoulder, and it didn't take long for the snack goods to bring back a wooden lumpy creature the size of a football, and the snack goods did not communicate directly, but said in Xiao Yao's mind: "Brother Xiao Yao, the sludge monster you are looking for jumped into the molten and escaped, this thing I caught back can be invisible, can send biological wave signals to the outside world, is a puppet body, has no own brain, can only carry out the mother's instructions, has life characteristics, no fatal point, extremely difficult to eliminate." ”

Xiao Yao looked at this weird thing, he didn't dare to grab this thing directly with his hand through the protective layer of the spacesuit, for unknown things, it was better to be careful, pick up the thick ore, find a tool plier from it, clamp this weird thing, and prepare to climb up along the rope.

There was a searchlight above, and three laborers in special spacesuits slowly slid down the rope, carefully searching the surroundings, Xiao Yao hurriedly let the snack goods return to his body. The three of them gathered happily when they saw that Xiao Yao was safe and sound, and because the air of VRX-067 Mineral Star was so thin that it was almost impossible to transmit sound, they used the etiquette between men - bear hugs to express their excitement at this time.

Xiao Yao then remembered that he had been in the mine for more than an hour, and it was the old buddies above who thought that he was in distress, and in the face of the threat of the sludge monster, he could rescue himself regardless of life and death, this friendship was precious! Xiao Yao made a sign language, and asked them to go up and inform everyone, leaving only two to guard the rope, and the others went down to the mine, taking advantage of the absence of the silt monster, to mine the ore as soon as possible, the value of the ore here is not low, enough for everyone to eat and drink for a month!

One of the laborers stared at what Xiao Yao was holding with a tool pliers, looked at it for a long time, and used a chisel to mark the words "coordinate worm" on the metal plate. Subsequently, he said in sign language: The thing in Xiao Yao's hand is a Zerg reconnaissance puppet, which can detect the situation on the ground across a rock layer of ten kilometers, and send it back to the Zerg base camp, and if you find this thing, you must destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise when you encounter an attack by the Zerg, you will be ambushed by the Zerg and kill no one left!

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, understanding the harm of this coordinate worm, considering that since there is such a tragedy as Mrs. Linda, it is difficult to say that the guards here have not been infiltrated by the Zerg, and with this coordinate worm, as a touchstone, to test the guards here, it is also good to find the Zerg spies in time, take precautions as soon as possible, and avoid being attacked by the enemy in the middle of the battle, and hurriedly replied with sign language: Let's take advantage of the absence of the silt monster to collect the ore here as soon as possible, and when we hand over the ore, by the way, hand it over to the guard chief to deal with.

The three of them looked at each other, and one of them climbed up the rope and called for someone to come in and mine. Xiao Yao carried a basket full of ores on his back, and did not leave rashly, he was worried that the sludge monster who was scared away by the snack goods would kill him again, and he held the coordinate worm with a tool plier in one hand and an alloy shovel in the other hand to prevent the sludge monster.

Three hours later, Xiao Yao took the twenty-five people of the No. 7 survival base, each carrying a basket full of valuable treasures and ores to the guard base on foot, and saw that the eyes of the servants in the other survival bases were red, but when they saw Xiao Yao's team of twenty-six people, they were anxious in their hearts, and they scolded and scolded, but they didn't dare to grab it, the strength of the people was there, they saw that the No. 7 survival base did not send people to guard the mine, so they sent one person back to call people, and the others followed the rope left by Xiao Yao into the mine. Seeing so many high-value ores, the crazy ore battle began, and the subsequent servants who rushed to the service intensified the bloody battle inside, because they could not transmit the sound, the guards outside could not know, but the violent earth trembled, alarming the original occupants here.

Xiao Yao led people to exchange daily necessities on a large scale here to guard the base, and directly purchased the next compressed air making machine, 50 tons of Moyun functional drinks, 100 tons of various foods, and an energy screen exciter, artificial gravity meter, air and water circulation system for building the base.

Xiao Yao directly threw the coordinate worm in front of Tie Ankang, who rushed to hear the news, and found that the coordinate worm could still burrow into the ground, so he hurriedly clamped it up again.

Tie Ankang looked at the coordinate worm in Xiao Yao's hand vigilantly and asked, "Xiao Yao's little guy, what is this?" ”

Xiao Yao called over the old brother who recognized the coordinate worm and asked him to explain to Tie Ankang what this was.

Tie Ankang roared in horror: "You stinky boys, don't you burn this damn worm to death!" ”

Xiao Yao coughed dryly and reminded: "Respected Guard Lord, I found it in the molten slurry, what do you think you can use to burn it?" And this thing is so harmful, should we let the Weapons Research Agency send someone to study it, how can this thing be detected, or the Zerg will throw this thing one per planet, and any military action of our Terran will be under the monitoring of the Zerg, and it will be very passive. ”

Tie Ankang "uh" for a long time, his face turned red, he was a dignified Mineral Star Guard, and was reminded by a hairy boy that this person had lost a bit big, slapped the table, and roared angrily: "You stinky boys, are you deaf?" Why don't you hurry up and take this dead bug, take good care of it, and contact the Arms Research Agency immediately? ”

Xiao Yao handed over the coordinate worm, pulled his legs and left, and if he stayed, the Tie Ankang guard chief might be angry with himself because he didn't give him face. Xiao Yao led people to escort the materials in exchange for the return to the No. 7 survival base, Xiao Yao asked everyone to eat and drink openly, but don't hold on, and by the way, ask the names, brief experiences and specialties of his subordinates one by one.

Xiao Yao was a little surprised to find that the twenty-five people who came with him were all retired officers who had exchanged fire with the Zerg, expelled former officers, and almost all of them had a hobby of killing, and one hobby was cooking the Zerg, these commanders either drove a space patrol ship drunk and hit a civilian spaceship, or after returning to their hometown, when they taught the guy who contradicted him, they didn't have any sense of proportion, and they killed people, and they wanted to be put in peacetime, and the punishment for such crimes was to be shot, and Xiao Yao felt that there seemed to be a big man who was cultivating himselfIt seems that his service career in VXR-067 Mineral Star will not be too lonely, and there will be a feast for himself and these iron-blooded soldiers-Zerg Attack.

Xiao Yao and the others were gulping down water and eating meat, when Sergeant Major Karn ran in and hurriedly asked, "Guys from the No. 7 Survival Base, have you seen where the laborers from the other survival bases have gone?" They were all killed, and even the bodies could not be found! ”

Xiao Yao and the others immediately stopped eating and drinking when they heard this, stood up, and looked at Sergeant Karn, those officers who had fought with the Zerg had just mentioned: If there is a large-scale mysterious disappearance of personnel in the edge area defense area, mineral star, and administrative star, it is usually a precursor signal of a large-scale invasion of the Zerg, and these missing people do not need to be found, they have already entered the belly of the Zerg puppet.

Xiao Yao immediately ordered five brothers with strong melee combat ability to accompany him, asked the others to strengthen the vigilance of the survival base, and turned on the anti-stealth detector, and there was no dead end carpet loop cross search, Xiao Yao and five companions took Sergeant Major Karn to the entrance of the mine they had just mined, noticed that there were a large number of messy shoe prints around here, and compared the difference between the shoe prints, and gently pulled up the hanging rope, only one meter long, it was gone, and there was still bubbling acid at the fracture position.

Xiao Yao pointed to the shoe prints and the severed head of the rope in his hand, and then pointed to the mine, Karn closed his eyes, shook his head, saluted Xiao Yao and them, took a photo, and strode back to the hovercar, and rode back to the guard base.

Xiao Yao's mood was also quite heavy, he wanted to rectify the No. 7 survival base, and after integrating all the people who served in VXR-067, he could also have more power to resist the zerg, but he didn't expect to forget to remind them for a while, so he let the sludge monster take revenge on them.
