Ryan was able to get out of bed after ten days.

On that day, he put on a lead-wire cloak, goggles and a rubber mask. He opened the door, the sun shone in, he held on to the door frame, steadied himself, and walked out.

His whole body was exposed to the sun, and he didn't dare to look at it. It took him a while to fully adjust to the white vision, and he saw that around his little house, there were many other small houses, but they were not made of stone, but of earth.

There were people walking around, they were short, dark, poorly dressed, and they could even say they were about to hide, and when they saw Ryan, they all stopped where they were, their heads tilted, and there was a little surprise in their expressions. Ryan walked over to them, and they stepped back, a little fear on their faces.

Ryan looked away again, as all the people were, looking up at him as if they were looking at a spectacle, and without speaking, he stepped forward, and they stepped back timidly. Ryan just felt that he couldn't move an inch.

The sun was shining brightly overhead, and Ryan felt the heat visibly, and then he was dizzy, and had to stagger back into the house.

The light in the room dimmed suddenly, and he leaned against the wall, adjusting for a moment before he could see the scene inside. The window of the stone house was blocked by a thick weave of plant fibers, revealing only a gap, and he pulled the fabric halfway open to let sunlight in, and he turned his head to see that the bubbles were still bubbling in the stone trough, and he took off his goggles and mask.

The girl who often took care of him ran in, "You're out?" "She's Miao, she's Shaman's sister.

Ryan nodded.

"The window can't be opened." Miao walked over and wanted to close the heavy curtain.

"It's okay," Ryan said, "I'm going to have to get used to it." ”

Miao said: "No, there is also the relationship of air. ”

"It's okay, if the indoor oxygen supply device is normal, it's okay to turn it on for a while."

"You...... Let my sister know, it's a shame......"

"Where's your sister?"

"She's busy."

Miao placed a bowl of bread and a glass of water on the small table in front of the window.

Ryan picked up a piece of bread. The small black round cakes, thick, hard, I don't know what they are made of, have rough particles when you bite into them, but they are very fragrant to chew, and among the foods here, he likes this one the most.

He took a cup of clay and took a sip, it was a bitter and fragrant water, as if it were prehistoric tea, so he called it "tea". This tea goes well with this round cake.

"Thank you." Ryan said.

Seeing that Miao went to take care of the leaves planted on the wall, Ryan said, "Will you eat it too?" ”

"Nope."

The leaves look fragile and wilt within a few days of planting, and the seedlings are replaced every day to keep them lush.

Since Ryan woke up, the sand man has rarely appeared, occasionally appearing, not saying anything, coming and going in a hurry.

"I'll do it." Ryan walked over, reached out and took the withered leaf from the height, and took the new leaf from the seedling.

"Will you?" Miao said.

"I watch it every day, and I watch it."

Ryan put the new leaves into the cracks in the stone, filled them with new soil, compacted them, and the action was accurate.

He picked up another leaf and said, "Do you know where this one is best planted?" ”

Miao looked at him, puzzled.

"The plants on this wall can be roughly divided into five types according to the color of the leaves, according to my observation, this one, the shade tolerance is medium, and this wall, if it is divided according to the length of light that can be obtained every day, can also be roughly divided into five areas, so if you want to get the overall longest survival time, this one should be planted here." As he spoke, he placed the leaf in a crack in the stone.

Miao looked at him, as if she didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

"The leaves are different in size and shade of color, and they are not very dependent on light, so rearranging the position may extend the life of the leaves a little bit."

Miao continued to look at him, as if she understood something.

"It is said that they can survive in this desert land, it should be very tenacious, the reason why they wither so quickly is because they are all light-loving plants, so if you want to further prolong their lives, you can only open the curtains."

"But my sister said, your eyes are ........"

"It's okay."

Ryan picked up another leaf, pointed out where she should be planted, and said, "These plants, it's hard to find, I just went out, and I didn't see a single plant, did you find them from far away?" "Collect these fresh plants every day, plant them here, and change them knowing that they won't live long without light, and do this to help me make more oxygen?" ”

Miao stopped and glanced at him.

Ryan said, "What about your sister?" ”

At dusk, Ryan had just woken up from his stupor, and Shaman walked into the stone house.

She said, "Today, you're out?" ”

"Hmm."

"It's not a small amount of courage."

"How?"

"You," Shaman walked up to Ryan and hugged his arms, "You, coming out of the Ark's oxygen-free, sterile environment, unable to see sunlight with your eyes and unable to resist radiation, do you know that you are very lucky that you can survive." ”

Ryan sat on the edge of the bed, propped his hands at his sides, raised his head, and said, "Finally interested today, come and talk to me?" ”

Sha Man rolled his eyes, "When we found you, you only had ロ Qi left, if it wasn't for the little CPR medicine we only had on you, you would have died." After that, you continue to have a high fever, which is your body's immune response to the extravehicular colony environment, and you almost burned yourself to death. ”

"But you didn't bring me out at the beginning?"

"That time you only stayed outside the cabin for a few hours. Frankly, it was a risky one, but I know that as long as you can go back, you'll be fine. ”

Lane remembered the interrogation that nearly killed him with an electric shock, and the serious illness that followed, and said to himself, "All will be fine."

But he had more important things to ask. "So you sent me back?"

"I just don't want you to die outside."

“…… What did you do when you sent me back? ”

"What was done? Leave as soon as possible, of course. ”

“……”

Ryan paused and said, "So this time, why didn't I die?" ”

"This is probably thanks to your preferred human body, your body, although extremely fragile, but also extraordinary, in the case of high fever and lack of oxygen for many days, it can still maintain the operation of the basic functions of the body, without causing damage to organs and brains, and, over time, it seems to have reached a reconciliation with the colony environment outside the cabin."

"You're saying I'm the one who got used to it?"

"Sorry, we don't have any medicines or medical measures to help you."

"Is it because I've been exposed to the environment outside the cabin?"

"Possibly."

"So, I still have to thank you."

"Heh," she smiled, but for a moment, "then again, you've just been out of the ghost gate, and you're still very weak, and ......." she looked around, "Although we have tried our best, this environment is still unfriendly to you, the oxygen content is about one-third of the cabin, the stone can isolate some of the radiation, but not all, the food here is a substance that you have never been exposed to before, we don't know what adverse reactions will occur, in fact, you can eat it now, It's already been screened after trying it. ”

Ryan raised his hands, and sure enough, the arms looked pale and thin, barely like his own.

He stood up and said to Shaman, "You know something, can you tell me?" I'm here to find you. ”

Shaman looked out the window, and it was a red sky outside, and she said, "The current daylight is more suitable for you, if you want, go out for a walk." ”
