Chapter 526: Reunion
Duran really roasted the cockroaches on Mars, sprinkled some refined salt and cumin, and the aroma aroused the appetite of others.
Duran could not eat all the time, but others could not. Although he was still a little afraid of the cockroach meat, fear could not resist hunger. Humans are very scary when they are trying to survive.
Two brave boys came over and asked Duran for two pieces of meat to eat. They couldn't stop eating because the taste was good, although it was a little old.
After eating, they went to the pond to get water, boiled it and drank it. The whole person was warm, at least they would not die for the time being.
The timid people could only continue to starve.
When the knee pill lamp slowly finished the fight, Duran's side had already turned off.
"You have the nerve to come to Mars with your fighting power, you are really looking for death." Duran stood there and said shamelessly, "Is the airship repaired well?"
These people are all half-baked. They are called soldiers but have only genetic abilities but no fighting spirit. They are called researchers but have no knowledge. Their mission is to capture the cockroaches on Mars, but unfortunately, the cockroaches on Mars are hunters.
Several people went to check the airship, but they couldn't find any problems. In addition, when the spaceship was attacked, it was almost night according to the biological clock, but after escaping, it was daytime on Mars. Looking at the time, they had not eaten or rested for more than ten hours. Before, they had been tempted by cockroaches, and now their stomachs were singing the empty city plan.
Michelle now had to make a choice, whether to stay here or take the initiative to find other team members.
Both plans were risky.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, he discussed with Hip Maru Deng again. Their situations were similar, so they could resonate more. After discussing, the two decided to take the initiative. On the one hand, this place has been discovered, and there will definitely be more cockroaches coming later. On the other hand, they are not passive people.
"Take the communicator and survival supplies and blow up the airship."
This was the decision of the two people.
Duran stood on the airship and looked into the distance. There was a plain in front of him. The gusts of wind blew past, making people feel uneasy because it was quiet.
The group was ready. The airship was overloaded and exploded. They carried useful salutes on their backs and walked across the endless plains.
Along the way, cockroaches watched from a distance from time to time, but fortunately they did not attack. But the more cockroaches there are, the more likely it is that a large wave of cockroaches will appear in the back.
Everyone was very nervous, and the pressure of the storm was too overwhelming.
"Who are you? I don't remember a crew member like you?" Michelle asked Duran as he walked, his tone not very good.
The same was true for the knee pill light on the side. The most important communicator was on his back, and noises could be heard from it from time to time. Now they were approaching the first team, but the constant appearance of cockroaches forced them to change their route many times.
"Of course I am also a crew member of ANNEX1, you are just the deputy captain, and your level is not enough." Duran was talking nonsense again.
Damn it, if I couldn't contact the captain, I must ask clearly what this Chinese person is. Taking all the food and water in the airship is simply murder.
Thinking of this, my stomach growled.
Duran smiled slightly, "I only have seasonings here. If you go and kill an alien, I can lend them to you."
"Idiot, what's the point of bringing this stuff?" Michelle was almost furious. Didn't this person think that they came to Mars just for a picnic? He actually brought so many seasonings.
"Mars and Earth have the same wilderness environment. The important thing is to survive, so of course you have to bring some things. You guys have really been burned out by life in the city, and you don't even have the common sense of surviving in the wild."
"If the spacecraft is not destroyed..."
Michelle was interrupted by Duran before she finished speaking, "If? There is no if in this world. Before setting off, you have to make the worst plan. This is also common sense in exploration. I really don't know what you learned in NASA? You actually thought that everything would go smoothly. Are you stupid or dumb?"
"You!"
Michelle was pulled by Hibiki Maru. As the male protagonist, although he didn't talk much, he always had amazing intuition to help him make the right decision.
The last girl fell down due to exhaustion, and the whole team stopped.
"No, no one is strong enough." In fact, it was mainly because those who had not eaten cockroach meat before had no strength, while those who had eaten it still had strength.
Without food, people would die, but now the nearest team was still a long way away.
"Everyone, be quiet." Suddenly, the knee pill light asked everyone to be quiet. It seemed that something huge was really moving in the distance.
Duran looked over and saw smoke and dust in the distance. It turned out that a square formation of cockroaches was moving in a certain direction. Obviously, there was also a small team in front.
"The food is coming." Duran said, "Who of you go catch a cockroach and kill it together and eat it, that's it."
However, there were still team members who said that they would never eat cockroach meat, and Duran said that you could die.
"Duran, be careful with your words."
"I know, since some people don't want to eat, then follow those cockroaches and move together. Maybe we can find a team like us in front. Of course, the risk is very high, because even if we find them, they may have been surrounded by alien species and there is no chance to meet them at all."
Although there are risks, people are going to die soon. According to the saintly characters of the male and female protagonists who want to save all living beings, what's the harm in taking risks to save the team members? They didn't think that their decision might kill more people. They chose to ignore the fact that people might die in order to save people. Maybe they are confident in their abilities.
So the group hung far behind the Xiaoqiang army. Unfortunately, the Martian Xiaoqiang was not stupid. They also found the humans behind. This is just right. Drive them together and surround them together.
More than 50 Xiaoqiangs were separated from the square formation and went around behind the second team without anyone noticing. When the time came, they drove people together like sheep.
In front was the fifth team of Germany and South America, led by Adolf, a German man who ranked second in strength.
"You are dead." Duran looked at the cockroaches on his left and right, "Even if you use the potion as a stimulant, there is no hope."
"Hurry up and meet up with the second team, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope." Michelle said, but half of their team members were so hungry that they couldn't stand steadily. Even if they met up, they would only drag down the fifth team.
The process of reunion was surprisingly smooth, "Those aliens deliberately made us go in this direction." Thinking of this, Michelle and Hibiki felt cold on their backs. Did they fall into the cockroach's trick from the beginning? Those aliens that kept popping up were just to drive them to this direction?
But now there was no time to think, "Mr. Adolf!"
"Is it you?" Adolf's chin and half of his face were covered by his raised high collar, and his voice was buzzing, "Where is your airship?"
"It has self-destructed." Michelle said, "What should we do now?"
Adolf's eyes stayed on Duran for a while, because he didn't know Duran, but he also knew that now was not the time to investigate the other party's identity. The current situation was simply desperate. Unless the enemy in front was defeated, it would be impossible to retreat unscathed. "Do you have medicine?"
"Yes!" Adolf asked this, and Michelle and Hibiki also knew that this was a signal for battle.
Duran folded his hands and called to other people who had little fighting power, "Everyone retreat, don't delay them from fighting." As he said that, he led others to climb onto the fifth squadron's airship, and distributed food and fresh water to the dying second squadron members.
After doing all this, Duran sat on the side seat with a slap on his face. "Actually, there is no need to fight and kill. Tell the aliens that as long as they provide enough meat for the aliens every period of time, it will be fine. We can provide them with high-quality feed, which is definitely better than moss."
"This guy!" Michelle already regarded Duran as a psychopath. Shaking her head, she put Duran's slap on the back of her mind. Now she still had to concentrate on fighting.
