842 Correct Application of Insects

Time: Wednesday, January 29, 2025.

Location: Jupiter Zero, alien underground base.

It was about six o'clock, and the aliens came again. This time they didn't bring bugs, but some things from the landing craft. These things were cleaned and the water on them was not dry.

The aliens threw these things on the ground and left. There were several bags of bullets in the pile, but no guns.

Everyone didn't understand what the aliens meant, but the pile of things contained the water and food we needed most. Everyone had been hungry for so long and didn't have the heart to think about anything else, so they rushed to find food together.

It is said that when people are hungry, everything tastes delicious. This is so true. Even dry compressed biscuits taste particularly sweet. With a mouthful of biscuits and a mouthful of water, I finally filled my stomach.

Fortunately, the aliens sent a lot of food. If there was not enough to share, we might fight over food.

After eating, we also picked out all the extra food and water, and then distributed them equally to everyone.

From that time on, water and food were the most important personal property. It was up to us to save or eat as much as we wanted. However, every time the aliens sent something in, they would distribute it equally. If we ate it all in advance, we would go hungry.

This was the survival rule we set after we had eaten our fill. We made a very serious agreement at that time. Whoever dared to get angry would be against everyone. There were also many other harsh words, which made the atmosphere very tense.

But before noon, the aliens sent another batch of things over. Basically, all the supplies in the landing craft were delivered, enough for us to eat for half a month.

Half a month seemed long, but it passed quickly, so we still divided the supplies equally according to the agreement in the morning.

Then, before dinner time, the third batch of supplies was delivered. We found that this batch of supplies did not come from the landing craft, but from the crashed Shuwan.

This discovery made everyone feel very bad, including Li Wenzhe.

In the next few days, the aliens sent various items, including food and supplies, and even laser pistols and armor batteries.

We were all soldiers, and even though we knew guns were useless, we still wanted to get them. We had the most people, and the other two groups couldn't compete with us. In the end, we got three laser pistols and four sabers.

These things gave us some confidence to resist, but this place was underground, and we couldn't get back to the ground even if we rushed out of the building.

We couldn't get back to Earth even if we got back to the ground. Getting weapons was actually no different from being unarmed.

If you want to survive, you have to endure it.

We all follow Earth time, eat three meals a day, and sleep on time, but the aliens' schedule is different from ours, and they sent things to us in the middle of the night several times.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about Jupiter again. When this thing flew overhead, everyone seemed to have learned light kung fu, but when it turned to the other side, it was troublesome, and everyone was as heavy as if they had eaten a weight.

One time, we got excited in the middle of the night, and everyone felt like a stone was pressing on them, making it hard to breathe. Another time, we were eating, and we couldn't hold the can in our hands.

The aliens were very quiet during this period, as if they had forgotten us. We never caused any trouble. Except for the lack of freedom, our lives were quite peaceful.

Location: Alien Underground City.

We ran out of water.

In a blink of an eye, we were locked up in this hellhole for three days. There was still a lot of food, the most of which was compressed biscuits, and some canned meat and canned fruit, all in vacuum aluminum foil packaging. There were also some self-heating foods and solid drinks, but there was no water.

There was not much water on the battleship to begin with, and the aliens found even less, and the amount they could take back was even less. We were able to drink for three days because we saved again and again.

I have to say that it was really uncomfortable to have no water to drink.

Because of the lack of water, the mood of all of us captives was quite bad. Then, the aliens sent us a bug, which was round and looked very harmless.

We didn't understand what the aliens meant. Then an alien took Liu Siyan's cup and leaned it against the bug. We knew that there was something growing in that place. When the cup was leaned up, water came out, and it was very clear water.

With the example of the dung beetle in front, we all knew that this was to send us water. To be honest, the water tasted sweet and was okay to drink, but the position where the water bug released the water was really not very good, and it always made people think of urine. I have been deceiving myself, telling myself that the place was for the water bug, and we were drinking it, but the damn bug is not a mammal, who can grow on the body of a bug?

But this is also the same as the dung beetle. At the beginning, I was not used to it, but after a long time, it was like that, and no one really had a problem with water because of that little psychological barrier. To put it bluntly, what kind of water have you not drunk when you are doing wild survival? When you catch up with the desert mission, urine is a good thing.

The water problem was solved just like that. The water bugs had a small capacity. One water bug could only drink for two days at most, and then a new one had to be replaced.

Let me add one more thing here. Bugs are simply omnipotent here with aliens. In addition to dung bugs, aliens also gave us several other bugs, all of which were related to our daily lives. Some could be used as trash cans, some could emit light, and there was one that was specially used to clean the room. Its tongue was particularly long, and it would lick the floor clean every time it stretched out its tongue.

Even the bed we lived in was an alien bug.

I don’t know if it’s the nature of this thing or the result of alien control, bed bugs are particularly reluctant to move. If you find a place for them, they will lie there and stay still. If it weren’t for an alien coming to feed them every few days, I would have almost forgotten that they are living bugs.

To be honest, the bug bed is really comfortable to sleep on. It’s soft and warm. Any Simmons mattress is far inferior.

The aliens also gave us a few bath bugs. This thing is more disgusting than dung bugs. When you want to take a bath, you have to crawl into the belly of the bath bug and then pull it out from the back. Is this a bath or disgusting?

We would rather take a water shower artificially, and no one wants to use bath bugs. Later, the aliens probably found that we really didn’t want to use that thing, so they simply removed the bath bugs and gave us two more water bugs.

This was originally a good idea, but these two water bugs seemed to have been specially modified. Before we finished bathing, they were drinking the bath water all over the floor. Then we took the water out of the water bugs' stomachs to bathe. This cycle is quite economical.

It was a bit awkward at first, but it was not much different from the recycled water on the spacecraft, so it was not awkward after thinking about it.
