Chapter 1867 The Walking Mummy
?
The scorching sun in the sky is like a huge hanging oven that circulates at 360 degrees without dead ends to provide endless heat energy.
The rolling sand dunes are baked into a golden color, and the rise reflects the pale golden heat waves.
It is difficult to see a green or even yellow-green plant on the desert line that stretches for thousands of kilometers, let alone an oasis. Except for the sand that shines like gold in the sun, there are only various kinds of plants left on this desert. Crisis, strange beasts, high temperature, sandstorms, quicksand, etc. are all there, and you can encounter everything you can think of, but it is difficult to find water and food.
boom!
Two crimson figures fell from a high altitude and smashed heavily into the sand, with their heads facing down and covering most of their bodies.
The lower body covered by the scales fluttered twice, and then was shocked by a huge force and flew into the air again. This time, before it could fall completely, it shattered into debris in mid-air and fell to the ground with crackles.
The yellow sand quickly swallowed up the stump and disappeared without a trace.
"Thirty-third." Xiaoqi whispered the count.
In less than half an hour, they encountered thirty-three Zerg, which was neither too many nor too few.
The shadow under the sun is elongated, covering a huge layer of shadow on the golden desert land, and the bricks are advancing step by step in the sand.
The matter of finding water and food did not go as smoothly as Mo Ye expected. From the current point of view, this is a planet with an extremely large land area, and it is also a planet with a very single geographical environment. This desert seems to never end. Long and horribly long.
Thirty-six minutes have passed since Mo Ye's landing on the interstellar standard time. However, no water source has been found. The water loss caused by high-temperature baking makes Mo Ye look like he has been dried in the sun, but he still hasn't been able to paint successfully. Pale dried fish.
The bloodless lips were dry and cracked, and the pale skin of the face showed an abnormal flush from the scorching heat.
Ninety-eight percent of the entire planet's land is covered by deserts, and there is an extreme lack of water resources. If Mo Ye's spiritual core can function normally, she can clearly perceive that the water elements in this area are negligible.
Mo Ye tried her best not to lick her lips, but this kind of trivial matter made her use a lot of self-control. For a person who is extremely thirsty, stopping such an instinctive action is like holding back. It's like holding your breath and deliberately not breathing, it's too tortured.
Mo Ye could even smell the faint smell of blood lingering in his nose,
You can imagine the degree of chapped lips.
The moving speed of the bricks is not particularly fast, not because it cannot be done but because it cannot be done. Mo Ye is too weak, and the temperature of this damned unknown planet continues to rise. If the bricks fly crazy, the high-speed airflow or The high temperature and heat wave are enough to toss half of the life of the already weak Mo Ye.
Xiao Qi was very worried, "Master~"
"Although the taste is not very good, do you want to try those Zerg?" Banzhuan made a very serious suggestion this time.
There is a feeling that the owner is in danger, so worried!
Mo Ye couldn't speak at all, and Xiao Qi quickly rejected Ban Zhuan's suggestion, "The species of these Zerg races are unknown, and they haven't passed the quarantine procedures. Eating them casually may cause permanent damage to the owner's body, and there is a high chance of being infected with parasites." Or a virus..."
Zerg is not something that can be killed and eaten casually, especially when the body is extremely weak.
Just as Xiaoqi refuted Banzhuan, a black shadow flew over suddenly and finally stopped in front of Mo Ye.
Mo Ye noticed Xiao Hei's appearance, and opened his eyes weakly to look over. At this time, Mo Ye's consciousness was a little loose and it was difficult to concentrate.
"There is a group of people walking towards us. Judging from the equipment, they are not ordinary human aborigines, driving a large ship."
If he could choose, Xiao Hei would use his mental power to share the pictures he saw with Mo Ye, but Mo Ye is not suitable for receiving any mental stimulation at all, even if it is just sharing memory pictures.
What Xiao Hei said at this time is definitely the closest to the sound of nature that Mo Ye has heard in the past few days. Is it far from water and food for the human team?
What Mo Ye didn't know was that these people came to look for her. Although they didn't know who she was, the figure of the giant beast that emerged from the dunes had been spotted half an hour ago.
In fact, staying where Mo Ye landed and waiting will meet these people sooner than now.
Mo Ye waited for a while but there was no one.
Banzhuan was clever this time, turned around and ran towards the direction the native team came from.
On the sand dunes, a huge sand ship's bow was raised, stuck in the sand and stones, it seemed to be caught by something, and it was sinking down little by little.
There are Zerg in the sand!
Lobster-like beetles shuttled in the yellow sand, trying their best to destroy the structure of the sand boat.
The temperature in this desert is too hot for human beings. Without a sand boat as a means of transportation, the human body cannot withstand that temperature, not to mention how many Zergs are lurking in the sand.
Unsurprisingly, the appearance of the bricks attracted the attention of both sides in the battle, whether it was the Zerg or the humans on the sandship.
When looking from a distance, I knew that the bricks were big, but when the distance was shortened, a huge shadow enveloped the entire battlefield, covering the humans and Zerg who were fighting.
Facing the terrified eyes of human beings looking up, what Banzhuan wants to do the most is to fly high and sing the dragon roar, and then use the flint from the sky as a perfect ending. It is incredible that most of the Zerg races present were solved without anyone noticing.
The black mist rolled into a storm, quickly swept around the sand ship, and finally returned behind Mo Ye.
Ban Zhuan stared at the invisible air behind Mo Ye, and ended the battlefield without even giving him a chance to play.
The people on the sandboat looked at the brick, or more precisely, at Mo Ye sitting on the back of the brick.
They wouldn't be so foolish as to think those Zergs just committed suicide.
A team of 368 people, driving a sand boat, wearing heat-insulating clothing, and holding various weapons in their hands, looked at the dead Zerg around them and then at the behemoth in front of them. They didn't know whether to be grateful or fearful.
The size of the sandboat is still several sizes smaller than that of a brick, not to mention the people on the sandboat.
The natives on the sandboat stared at Mo Ye and Banzhuan warily, with horror and surprise on their brown-red faces.
This silence was broken by an extremely weak and hoarse voice.
"water"
When Mo Ye drank the first sip of water in a few days, he really realized why water is described as the source of life in many civilizations.
Moved to tears, the sunlight must have stimulated the secretion of normal saline, blinking back the precious water, Mo Ye sipped the water in small sips, in front of a crowd of onlookers.
"Are you human?" The indigenous representative stood up.
Mo Ye really didn't look very human at the moment, he looked like a vampire, or the kind who was extremely weak after seeing the light after not drinking enough.
"Hmm." Mo Ye's throat was still dry, and it hurt even to speak a single word.
Although his throat hurts, Mo Ye still insists on asking these people for information. You can't count on Banzhuan or Xiaohei for this kind of thing, let alone Xiaoqi. It's useless to build a planet that doesn't even have a star defense system.
"What planet is this?"
Mo Ye didn't need to use mental hints or coercion to make sure that these people did not hide the truth.
Uncle Brick, lying on the sand like a mountain and looking down at the earth with golden vertical pupils, is the most effective deterrent.
"This is the planet Kulleza..." The long-lost, extremely fluent Star Alliance lingua franca without a strange accent.
Although these natives live within the territory of the Star Alliance, Kurleza is an extremely poor abandoned mine star. After all the mineral resources here were mined thousands of years ago, the original mining immigrants left one by one and finally stayed. Or these native indigenous tribes.
This is a group of nomadic tribes living in the desert, and the sand boat is the home of their tribe.
Due to the extreme scarcity of resources,
Except for the abandoned mine pits, there is no decent star network link equipment here. Before the upheaval, the people here have been living a life almost isolated from the world. The only connection between the entire planet and the outside world is the ancient tribal sandship. optical brain.
There were originally twelve sand ships like this, but more than eight were known to have been destroyed in the past half a month, and the life and death of the rest were uncertain.
Zerg descended from the sky brought a huge shadow of death.
Sabo is the captain of this sand boat and the patriarch of this tribe. The people on this boat are already the entire population of their tribe today.
There are probably not many people left on this planet. "We have been insisting on search and rescue and hope to find other survivors on the planet."
Sabo didn't continue, but Mo Ye could also guess that the population of the survivors who couldn't find the ship was still decreasing day by day.
Xiaoqi quickly searched the Kulleza star in the database, "Master, this planet was originally a barren planet located on the edge of the Star Alliance's public star domain and close to the chaotic star domain. 98% of the land is covered by deserts. , The last time the staff of the Star Alliance conducted a survey on its living environment, the census dates back to a hundred years ago, and the information is very vague.”
"When did the Zerg appear, how many did they have, and did the human army of the Star Alliance appear?" Mo Ye couldn't speak, so he breathed out the light screen and began to write various questions by hand, "According to the current calendar of the Star Alliance, what year and month is it now?" A few days..."
The previous questions were easy to understand, but the last few made Sabo a little confused, but he still answered, "Since more than a year ago, the diurnal changes of this planet began to change drastically, and the living environment deteriorated rapidly and the temperature continued to rise. The highest temperature that occurred yesterday It has reached eighty-six degrees Celsius...the Zerg appeared half a month ago, and no human reinforcements have arrived yet, and we have tried our best to send a signal for help..."
Mo Ye nodded, waiting for Sabo to continue.
According to Sabo, the left side of the planet's space has been changing, and it deviates from the original orbit of the planet. It is likely to be a special change caused by space turbulence or space overlap when the space channel is opened.
Kulleza is not the only planet that has produced this kind of change, especially concentrated in the star area near the gray-white light belt.
"Half a month ago, the Zergs began to appear on a large scale..." At that time, the terrible scene of the Zergs falling from the sky is still vivid. On that day, this originally barren homeland really became a melting pot. The tribe died at the mouth of the Zerg.
The population of the tribe is decreasing rapidly every day. Even though they send out calls for help every day, there is still no sign of reinforcements.
Sabo told the truth about everything he knew, even though Mo Ye looked like a half-disabled man who seemed so weak that he would pass out at any time.
"What about you, who are you, explorer or soldier?"
"Explorer."
"Are you the reinforcements sent by the Star Alliance?"
Of course not, Mo Ye was stunned for a moment. If he was not injured, it would not be a problem to save and help transfer, but now, self-rescue is still a big problem.
Although Mo Ye looked miserable, even if they were ignorant natives, these Kurleza people knew very well how terrifying the combat power of a person with a flying pet like a mountain was.
These people looked at Mo Ye with vigilance and anticipation at the same time, and they could clearly perceive their emotional fluctuations at this time without using mental induction.
"No." Mo Ye did not give any ambiguous answer but directly denied it.
When the natives on the sandboat heard this answer, it was as if all the flat tires were deflated but they were holding on to the outline.
"The signal around here is unstable. Your request for help has probably not been received by any fleet and has dissipated in space. I need parts to make equipment to strengthen the signal. What do you have on board?"
The extinguished hope suddenly burned evil spirits again, although they still don't know who Mo Ye is or how he appeared.
Another two days passed in a flash. For Sabo and other natives, these two days were the most stable two days since the appearance of the Zerg.
Star Kulleza is still full of various dangers, and Zerg races are constantly moving on the planet, but because of the appearance of Mo Ye, there has been no increase in casualties in the past two days.
Even though most of the clan thought it was the behemoth's fault and that the young girl, who looked extremely weak and harmless, was just a protege, Sabo didn't see it that way.
Two days of recuperation made Mo Ye's condition much better, at least he no longer looked like a walking mummy.
Mo Ye stopped what he was doing and waited for Xiao Qi to check, "Master, it's done, it's done." Xiao Qi excitedly announced the completion of the transformation of the signal receiving enhancement equipment.
Sabo looked anxiously at the silent Mo Ye. The dilapidated optical brain on this sand ship was the hope of their whole family. If the disassembly and modification failed, he would be a sinner.
Mo Ye just did some installation work according to Xiaoqi's instructions, "Master, I will be able to log in to Starnet soon, and we will be able to contact Burgess soon."
