Ke Shaobin positioned himself according to the coordinates in Xiao Tu’s screen, and quickly rejoined with Xin Yan.
Seeing Xin Yan and Liu Zhaoqing walking side by side, Ke Shaobin couldn’t help but wonder. “It shows three coordinates here, why are there only two of you ah?”
A familiar voice came from Liu Zhaoqing’s pocket, “And me.”
Looking at the spherical cell body exposed in Liu Zhaoqing’s pocket, Ke Shaobin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Senior brother Xu, are you being lazy and becoming a cell again?”
Liu Zhaoqing complained, “You treat Xiao Tu as a mount, and he treats me as a mount.”
After Xu Yishen turned into a cell, the surface of the spherical cell still had shrunken eyes and mouths, he looked at Yue Xingwen and asked curiously, “How did Xingwen come over here?”
Yue Xingwen looked down and found that Liu Zhaoqing’s shoes were wrapped in two rolls of gauze and Xin Yan’s soles were glued with a layer of silvery-white metal.
Yue Xingwen said, “I just used the ‘Road’ skill to join with young Ke, but this skill has a time limit and cannot be used all the time. Xin Yan, can you help me make a sole too?”
Xin Yan raised his right hand, and while looking for materials in the Periodic Table, he said, “Time was tight just now, and the high-temperature resistant soles I made can only prevent the shoes from being melted by high temperature, but they can’t isolate the conduction of heat.” He looked at Liu Zhaoqing and said, “I have an idea. The bottom of the shoes can be protected by metal with a high melting point, and the inside of the shoes can be padded with senior brother Liu’s gauze, so it will be a double barrier to ensure that the soles of everyone’s feet will not be burned.”
Yue Xingwen praised. “That’s a good idea. Senior brother’s Liu gauze can treat skin injuries and your metal protective layer can ensure that the shoes won’t be damaged.”
Ke Shaobin said with a smile, “Is this an upgrade+ version of anti-scald shoes? Xin Yan and senior brother Liu collaborated on a product?”
Liu Zhaoqing immediately summoned a few rolls of gauze and handed them to Xin Yan. Xin Yan glued a layer of metal to the soles of everyone’s shoes, and then rolled the gauze into the insole and put it inside the shoes.
After being armed like this, stepping on the hot rocks was not at all uncomfortable.
Everyone resumed their journey and continued to search for their teammates.
Ke Shaobin got off of Xiao Tu and walked with Yue Xingwen. He put Xiao Tu out alone to quickly scan and scout. The scouting data would be transmitted to his laptop in real time.
Xiao Tu quickly scanned an area of more than 10 kilometers, but still didn’t find other teammates.
Yue Xingwen’s frown tightened the more he frowned. “If Pingce had landed nearby, he would have surely taken an escape pod with him and used the coordinate system formula to fly into the air to find us. Xiao Tu never found a target in the air, indicating that he’s not in the area.”
Ke Shaobin looked at the five coordinate points on the laptop screen and analyzed, “There are only five of us in this area. I remember reading the information at that time, half of the planet’s landscape was hot magma, and half was cold underground caverns. We are likely to be divided into two groups, and the other half are on the cavern side?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Xu Yishen agreed. “Most likely, we’re scattered again. Should we look somewhere else?”

Ke Shaobin nodded. “That makes sense! If we miss them and go back to search, it will definitely be too late, and we will move position after searching here.” After saying that, he immediately asked Xiao Tu to increase his speed and continue scouting towards the surroundings.
After another half an hour, a flashing blue coordinate suddenly appeared on Xiao Tu’s screen.
Ke Shaobin said excitedly, “There’s one in front!”
The speed of everyone’s walking was far less than Xiao Tu, and Ke Shaobin simply asked Xiao Tu to meet with the teammate first.
Soon, a video image came from Ke Shaobin’s laptop screen—— All that could be seen was an arm-thick green vine hitching between two massive rocks, and a competent girl in camouflage uniform was sitting straddling the vine. Her clothes soaked with sweat, her hat was off, and her long hair slightly disheveled.
After seeing Xiao Tu, Lin Manluo immediately waved at Xiao Tu in surprise. “Xiao Tu, I’m here!”
Ke Shaobin sent his voice through Xiao Tu. “Senior sister Manluo, we are a bit slow on foot, so come to us by sitting directly on Xiao Tu!”
Lin Manluo raised her right hand, and a vine quickly wrapped around Xiao Tu’s waist. She picked up the force and gently leaped, sitting on Xiao Tu’s shoulder and laughed. “How did you turn Xiao Tu into a means of transportation?”
Ke Shaobin said, “Xiao Tu has wheels under his feet and can reach a maximum speed of 60km/h, saving time and effort.”
Within a moment, Xiao Tu took senior sister Manluo to join everyone.
Xin Yan made a pair of upgraded anti-scald shoes for Lin Manluo, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief after putting on the shoes, and said, “When I landed, there were no teammates nearby, and I wanted to come out of the escape pod to find you, but I found that the ground was too hot and I couldn’t go far, so I built a hammock with vines and sat in the air, thinking that you would find it.”
Yue Xingwen asked, “Senior sister, are you alone over there?”
“I didn’t find any other teammates nearby.” She pointed ahead and said, “It looks like a volcano over there and I didn’t dare to go further for fear of encountering danger. Therefore, I don’t know whether there are any teammates on the volcano side or not.”
Xiao Tu also scouted the location of the volcano, and Yue Xingwen was worried that the library was too pit and sent his teammates near the volcano, so he said to Ke Shaobin, “Send Xiao Tu to go, and then go back quickly.”
Xiao Tu could detect the surrounding movements, and even if the volcano suddenly erupted, Ke Shaobin could immediately recover it, which was relatively safe. Thus, Xiao Tu advanced towards the crater, while Yue Xingwen and the five others waited in place for a while.
To Yue Xingwen’s surprise, Xiao Tu actually did bring back a teammate!”
—— Senior sister Lan Yarong, and she was unlucky enough to land right next to the volcano.
She couldn’t walk on the ground and didn’t have any displacement-type skills, so with no other choice, senior sister Lan directly summoned a Civil Affairs Bureau to hide inside.
Ke Shaobin saw the Civil Affairs Bureau on the scouting screen and said with a smile, “It’s really hard on senior sister Lan, in case we missed this area, she might have to stay at the Civil Affairs Bureau until nightfall.”
After Lan Yarong heard Xiao Tu’s singing ‘Finding Friends’, she rushed out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and hugged the robot, which was as tall as she was, “You’ve finally come here! A little later, I will turn into a barbecue!”
A hint of red appeared on the hugged Xiao Tu. “You are the first human to hug me.”
Lan Yarong: “???”
Ke Shaobin sent a voice remotely, “Senior sister, sit on Xiao Tu and run! Something isn’t quite right with this volcano.”
Lan Yarong hurriedly climbed to the top of Xiao Tu’s head with her hands and feet, hugged Xiao Tu’s neck and shouted, “Go!”
Xiao Tu carried her to glide quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she joined Ke Shaobin’s group.
At this moment, two familiar figures suddenly appeared in Yue Xingwen’s field of vision, and the other party was extremely fast, like a phantom teleportation, and came to Yue Xingwen in less than 3 seconds—— It was the twin sisters, Qin Lu and Qin Miao.
Qin Lu said excitedly, “Finally we found our groups!”
Qin Miao’s expression was calm and said, “There is a volcano behind us, we can’t judge what danger is on the other side of the mountain, we don’t dare to go over there rashly. Just now I heard Xiao Tu’s song, so we instantly came over to find everyone.”
Xin Yan quickly made upgraded shoes for his new teammates. The next moment, they saw the volcano not far away suddenly erupt, a large amount of fiery red magma rose into the sky like fireworks, and the surrounding smoke was billowing out. Although everyone was wearing oxygen masks and was not affected by the smoke, the significantly higher ambient temperature still made everyone feel like they were in an oven.
Ke Shaobin said, “This volcano should be U-shaped, Qin Lu, Qin Miao and senior sister Lan all landed near the volcano, half-surrounded by it. Other teammates were either in the cave on the other side of the volcano, or we were scouting the wrong direction at the beginning and had to go back and look for the other in the other direction.”
Yue Xingwen’s face was ugly. “Has Qin Lu’s Plate Movement run out?”
Qin Lu said, “There are still ten times left.”
Yue Xingwen thought for a moment and said, “Ten times, it can teleport 5 kilometers in a row, and it can take us over the volcano. Judging from the information of the planet, there are a large number of underground caves on the other side of this volcano.”
He swept his gaze over his teammates and said calmly, “At present, only the whereabouts of Pingce, senior brother Zhuo and Zhang Xiaonian are unknown, and they are likely to land in the cave.”
Ke Shaobin said, “In other words, we are going to forcibly climb over the volcano?”
Qin Lu was terrified. “My Plate Movement can allow everyone to teleport 500 meters at a time, but if we happen to be teleported to the location of the volcanic eruption, won’t we burn to ashes in an instant?!”
Yue Xingwen looked at Xin Yan. “Can we use heat-resistant metal materials to protect everyone?”
Xin Yan nodded. “Theoretically, it can be done. Metals with a melting point of more than 3,000 degrees will not be melted by the magma erupted by volcanic eruptions, and Qin Lu’s Plate Movement operation only takes 1 seconds, and ten consecutive teleportations only take 10 seconds. I’ll make a shell out of metal that will protect everyone over the volcano.”
Although Yue Xingwen tried his best to remain calm on the surface, he was very nervous in his heart. In case the library did not play cards according to common sense, and brushed brushed Jiang Pingce and the other two in another direction away from the volcano, and after they got separated, the three would be failed to be rescued and the oxygen was exhausted, they would definitely not be able to survive tonight.
It was already noon, and they could only choose one direction to find them.
The decision to choose one or the other was a matter of life and death for teammates.
Yue Xingwen took a deep breath, decisively pointed to the side of the volcano and said, “Let’s go, go over!”
Hesitation couldn’t solve the problem, as the captain of the 183 team, he could only make a hard choice.
The other teammates also had no opinions, Xin Yan quickly made a cube metal box, like a sealed cargo car, 360 degrees surrounded everyone, as a whole. Qin Lu could directly let this ‘protective shell’ switch positions with everyone to prevent the magma from erupting from the volcano to melt them.
Switching positions in one direction in a row, on the way, everyone clearly heard the sound of the ground shaking outside, and the impact of magma spraying on the metal!
Ke Shaobin, who was staying in the closed ‘carriage’, listened to the movement outside and was terrified. Thanks to this metal defensive shield being tightly fitted, otherwise, if they used their physical bodies to cross the volcano, they would definitely be instantly burned to black charcoal.
Qin Lu’s face was also a little pale, she concentrated, quickly operated on the globe. Her hand speed increased to the limit, after 5 consecutive displacements, she listened to the movement outside, stopped and said, “2,500 meters, it should be out of the range of the volcano, I can still keep a few more times of my displacement skill as a backup.”
Ke Shaobin said, “Xiao Tu, investigate the outside environment.”
Xiao Tu quickly reported the result, “The outside temperature is -10 degrees, the air humidity is 30%, and the oxygen content is 0%.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Xin Yan put away the metal cover.”
Xin Yan raised his right hand, and the metal on the periphery disappeared instantly. The biting cold wind then rushed towards them, and everyone was frozen and sneezed several times at the same time.
There was an entrance to a cave ahead, and the environment was completely opposite to what it was earlier.
The surrounding light was dim and the roads were rough, and if they were not careful, they could fall. Xiao Tu turned on the overhead light and continued to scout forward, while the rest of the students followed closely behind him and entered the underground cavern together.
Xiao Tu is becoming suspiciously sentient and I can’t decide if this is a good or bad thing
Thank you for the chapterr
