Chapter 14: A Thrilling Journey
Before the two set off, Leia used the Reconnaissance System terminal to relocate the Earth Federation's migrant spacecraft to confirm its detailed location and distance.
The instrument emits a horizontal circle of light in the shape of a disk, and from Leia's position there is a green arrow pointing to a glowing red dot, which is where the spacecraft is located, which is shown to be 930 kilometers away.
Leia looked in the direction the arrow was pointing, a little surprised on her face. Drew followed her gaze as well, and for a moment his expression froze.
They found that this direction was almost identical to the one they had seen earlier in the area where the other ship had crashed. They would probably have to go into the forest and cross the area, or else they would have to make a detour through the mountains in the rest of the direction. However, when they looked at the tall and steep mountains in the other directions, they immediately dismissed the idea of a detour. It was just that they didn't know what unknown dangers were in the forest and the area where the ship crashed, but even then, they had only one option to go in this direction.
Leia and Drew packed up their weapons and gear and prepared to head towards their goal. At this time, Leia, who had experienced so many dangers, realized that she was tired and hungry, and realized that she had not eaten for a long time.
Seeing Leia's embarrassment, Drew took out the food bag he was responsible for keeping from his backpack, took out two ultra-concentrated nutritional pills the size of broad beans and two tubes of energy supplements, and handed one nutritional pill and one tube of energy supplements to Leia.
"Here you go, replenish your strength."
Leia took it and took it in one mouth, this pill and a tube of energy can meet all the body's needs for nutrition, energy, and water for three days.
Leia muttered: "Alas, this thing is convenient, but it doesn't taste very good." ”
Drew smiled and said, "Then when we go home, we will have a big meal together, and I will treat you to whatever you want to eat." ”
Leia listened to her eyebrows and looked very happy: "Okay, it's a word, don't be stingy when the time comes." ”
In this way, the two of them walked and chatted word by word, and the originally depressing atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. Before they knew it, they had walked into the forest.
In the forest, not only are the trees huge, but even the grasses are more than a meter tall. Leia was secretly surprised, the plants on this planet are all so tall, maybe it has something to do with the small gravity of the planet.
The area they were now passing through had not been affected by the ship's crash, so the forest had been preserved as it was. Sunlight shines through the foliage of the forest, dispelling the gloom of the forest and awakening the countless creatures in the forest. The trees, branches, and grass are full of strange flowers and plants, birds and beasts. They were all large, but most of them were not aggressive, and Leia and Drew felt so small in the world of such giant creatures.
As the two of them were walking forward, an animal with a horned forehead resembling a wild boar burst out of the grass in front of them. I saw that it panicked and rushed directly towards the two of them. Leia reacted quickly and immediately dodged. Drew was so startled by it that he didn't have time to dodge it, and was knocked to the ground. After colliding with Drew, the horned pig did not stop, and continued to run forward, burrowing into another patch of grass.
Thankfully, Drew was fine, patting the dust off his body and preparing to stand up. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Leia waving her hand at him urgently, motioning for him not to move or make a sound.
Drew was momentarily stunned, but suddenly realized that the ground in front of him was shrouded in a huge shadow. He cautiously raised his head, only to see a creature in front of him with a flat body, a body width of two meters, a length of more than twenty meters, and a body covered with dark red folds and roads, staring at him fiercely. Perhaps it was because it was also the first time it had seen a human being, and it was unfamiliar to Drew, so it did not attack rashly.
The two sides faced off like this for a moment, and suddenly it slammed its mouth open at Drew, spraying mucus in his face. Drew still held back and didn't move. It looked down again and sniffed at Drew, and instead of biting him, it bypassed him and continued to track his prey.
Until the departure of this "python", Drew was still nervous and did not dare to take a breath. Leia, who was nearby, relaxed, and put down the weapon she had raised to shoot.
Leia quipped to Drew, "It seems that you don't smell good, not Lai." ”
Drew wiped the sweat and mucus from his forehead and patted his chest happily: "It's so dangerous..."
