Zhang Yuan was the same as yesterday, just when people had gone down the mine, and when the sun completely sank, he came out of the mine, and dug up as many crystal stones as yesterday, and changed the same things. The only difference was that the amount of money he owed to Cripple Jerry went from 0.2 dollars to 0.4 dollars.

A month later, maybe there was enough food to eat, or maybe Zhang Yuan's strength was growing, and he made more money every day than before, so his account to the lame Jerry was decreasing day by day. Life in the wilderness is monotonous and repetitive, and a year passes.

On this prison-like planet, where millions of Terran and Protoss marines struggle to survive, it is already a rare happiness to be able to live monotonously and repeatedly. If you don't have to grab food with the Zerg puppies, what else can you ask for? As for boredom, it's too extravagant to think about it once in a while.

At the beginning, there were still rookies among the strong men of the human race and the god race who wanted to fight Zhang Yuan, but the veteran Tom scared them. In this era, there are still those who are bold enough, there are four gods and warriors who followed Zhang Yuan away in a dark night, three of them have never appeared again, and the one who came back has lost Zhang Yuan's whereabouts.

Early the next morning, the Terran and Protoss warriors found that the returning Protoss was hanging high on a wooden pole outside the veteran Tom's house, and the Marine soldier in black armor fired ten rounds at him with the gun, and he still had no breath. When it comes to torturing people, the Marines are clearly quite talented. From then on, the old birds among the strong men of the human race and the god race knew not to fight that Zhang Yuan's idea.

In a blink of an eye, three and a half years have passed. The crystal stones that Zhang Yuan dug up were already four times as many as they were at the beginning, but the amount of food he needed to exchange was also increasing, so he never had any savings. The wrinkles on Veteran Tom's face deepened, and Cripple Jerry became more lonely and sad every night.

In the fourth year and a half, fewer and fewer crystal stones could be excavated from this pit, and the simple happiness of the wilderness came to an end.

One evening, when Zhang Yuan received food and water from Jerry the Cripple again, the veteran Tom stopped him. Zhang Yuan followed the veteran Tom into the iron house, which was full of miscellaneous items, but there was a bed inside, a real bed with futon and pillows.

Such a bed was enough to distinguish the veteran Tom from everyone else, and it would be nice to have a safe stone to sleep on if there was little to cover in the moors now. The boy didn't look at the bed more, but kept looking at a hand-drawn map hanging on the wall. The map was crudely drawn, with large blank spaces and bold danger markings in red pen in some places.

"We're here." Veteran Tom pointed to the map, then westward, until the circle marked Scarlet Danger stopped, and said, "This place is a nest for the Stinging Snake." These one-meter-long creatures are very difficult to handle, they can't fly, but you need to be careful with the acid they spew, which is worse than fire. The most annoying thing is that these guys are always out in groups. However, they also have good things on them, their front paws are harder than steel, but they are half the lighter, so they can be sold in many places, and the price is not bad, because few people dare to hunt stinging snakes. The meat of the lower half of their bodies is very tender and has a good taste, but the portion is too small, only about a dozen kilograms. ”

Zhang Yuan looked at the map quietly, as if he wanted to engrave every stroke on it in his heart. The clear eyes were crystal clear, like a jewel of the finest kind. After all these years, veteran Tom found himself seeing the teenager's eyes clearly for the first time.

Tom cleared his throat and gestured to the southern end of the snake's lair, where there was a green area that he didn't know what it meant.

"From here there is a mountain, there is a cave, there is a sewage pool in the cave, and there is a mutated and shrunken Zerg queen. That Zerg queen doesn't have much combat power, but she can produce small larvae. The body fluids of those larvae are very nutritious and very easy to digest, and even their nutrition is not inferior to that of human milk. However, the larvae were small, there was not much body fluid, and the queen only produced three or four larvae a day, so it was barely enough for a child. However, you need to hunt down other Zerg to feed that Zerg queen. ”

"The stinging snake's lair is about a hundred kilometers away, and you may have to walk for days. Tomorrow the mine will be closed, and you don't have to come here. Veteran Tom waved his hand, and the boy left the iron house quietly. Before leaving the door, the boy looked at the veteran Tom and softly thanked him.

In the early morning of the second morning, the rising stars carried sunlight through the dark clouds, and the Zerg puppies who were wandering on the ground and could not withstand the sweep of the Terrans quickly rushed back to their underground nests. Dark clouds pierced through the light, but they also brought howling winds and fist-sized gravel. To the west of the mine, there is the endless Gobi, where the fiery red rocks are blown by the wind and sand into stone pillars full of holes. As far as the eye can see, all you can see is a few low, spiky spore plants with highly toxic branches and leaves. The stinging snake and the more sinister ground thorn here are deadly threats. The biggest danger, however, is that there is no water, not even a single plant to rehydrate.

While the snakes were hiding in caves under the red Gobi to escape the scorching heat, a teenager appeared on the edge of the Gobi. He wrapped himself tightly in a black felt blanket, and in his bandaged hands he held a small girl, who was also draped in a black blanket.

In the compound eyes of the stinging snake, two figures, one large and one small, held hands and slowly walked towards the depths of the Gobi. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the blanket on the child's head was lifted, and a long black satin-like hair spilled out, shining with a thousand dazzling brilliance under the reflection of the sun.

The boy stopped, carefully tied her long hair, covered her with a tattered blanket to shelter from the wind and heat, and then took her hand and continued to walk deeper into the Gobi.

The Stinging Snake attacked, but as the Stinging Snake approached its target and was about to kill it with its own acid, several rocks smashed into its compound eye with a speed second only to that of a bullet.

The blind stinging snake immediately curled its body, although its pain nerves were dull, but the stone had smashed into its brain from its eyes, and the direct pain made it unbearable for the stinging snake that could corrode and kill several armored infantry, and immediately curled its body and struggled. A storm of red dust erupted around him, but after a while, the red dust that had swung up around him gradually fell to the ground, leaving only the corpse of the stinging snake covered in red sand 616161616161

After walking like this for a whole week, Zhang Yuan and the little girl Li Bingjie finally found the cave that the veteran Tom said, and also found the mutant queen who was still sleeping and was only the size of a baby.

The young man Zhang Yuan set up the little girl Li Bingjie in the cave, rested until the dark night before dawn, and walked alone to the nest of the stinging snake.

It wasn't until dusk that the boy struggled to come back. The little girl sat quietly at the entrance of the cave waiting for him to return, and she didn't know how long she had been sitting.

This night, the little girl frowned, and with her snow-white little teeth, she tore at the little larval flesh that was as tough as a piece of rubber. The flesh of the little larva was tough and fishy, but she tried to chew and suck every piece of meat and body fluid, swallowing it, and even licking the juice on her fingers.

In the depths of the cave, the young Zhang Yuan hid in the dark, cleaning the criss-crossing wounds on his body little by little.

The mutant queen, who has no attack power but is very greedy, devours the corpses of two stinging snakes, and it takes a day for the young Zhang Yuan to go to the lair of the stinging snakes. So the life of a boy, a girl and a mutant queen is repeated over and over again with the day of sunrise and sunset.
