Of course, they couldnβt fill their stomach with only oranges for dinner, but in survival mode, it was hard to get enough to eat, and they couldnβt ask too much. After dinner, the remaining oranges were squeezed directly into juice and sealed and stored in Xin Yanβs flask.
The time had come to 11:00 PM. After this dayβs thrilling escape, everyone was exhausted. Seeing that none of the students had much energy, Yue Xingwen said to everyone, βGet ready to sleep, in groups of 2, take turns to keep watch.β
Ke Shaobin actively opened his laptop, took out the previous night’s schedule and said, βXingwen has an injury on his hand, so donβt keep watch. How about we follow the old rules on the ship? Xin Yan and I were between 4 and 6am.β
Liu Zhaoqing agreed and said, βPingce is responsible for taking care of Xingwen, and the remaining 10 of us are divided into 5 groups, each of whom rotates for 2 hours. Coupled with Xiao Tuβs patrol, the safety at night is definitely not a problem.β
Others were also fine with it, and set up the time of the vigil according to the previous groupings.
The temporary base built by Zhang Xiaonian was a reinforced concrete structure, which could withstand some of the heat from the magma, but, the temperature of the entire environment exceeds 40 degrees, just like the scorching heat on the Earth, and it was difficult to sleep in such a hot temperature.
Yue Xingwen repeated his old tricks, and directly poured a room of water with βhe Flooding of Jinshan Templeβ, and asked Qin Lu to freeze the water into ice with βSiberian Cold Currentβ.
Ke Shaobin exclaimed, βOur Research Group 183 is really the strongest construction team! Building a house, producing oxygen, boiling water to warm it when itβs cold, and cool down with ice cubes when itβs hot.β
Xu Yishen smiled and lifted a block of ice and placed it next to himself, saying, βI wish I could bring these skills back to reality. I can have a mitosis clone to attend a class, and the main body plays games in the dormitory.β
Liu Zhaoqing complained, βMy gauze will be best-seller, it can solve all skin acne marks and scars, I can get rich overnight just by selling gauze.β
Lin Manluo said helplessly, βBring it back to reality? Donβt think about it, itβs already hard for us to get out of the library alive, and bringing skills back to reality makes us monsters instead.β
Zhuo Feng said, βNo matter what, with the supernatural ability in hand, it shouldnβt be a problem to last 27 days in such an environment.β
Everyone seemed to see that the clearance was close at hand.
However, the library never talked about ethics, and Yue Xingwen always felt that this course would not be so simple. In the future, there might be more dangerous things to come, so everyone should not relax.
He had always been a crowβs mouth, and it was not good for him to directly voice out his speculations, so he changed his words and said, βLetβs all have a good rest first, and weβll discuss it tomorrow if thereβs something.β
Everyone had fallen asleep against the ice, leaving two people left to keep watch.
The night was very peaceful. When they were awakened by Xiao Tu the next morning, the surrounding environment was no different from yesterday, and if it wasnβt for the time displayed on the bracelet, they couldn’t tell how long it had been.
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.
Ke Shaobin stretched his waist, looked at the barren red land around him and said, βThis planet has no day or night, no light, no matter what time of the day itβs the same scenery, it feels like itβs been abandoned by the entire universe.β

After yesterday, Yue Xingwen no longer rejected Jiang Pingceβs care psychologically, so he naturally sat there and wiped his face clean with gauze, and took a few sips of warm water handed by Jiang Pingce.
Seeing this scene, Lin Manluo was in a complicated mood, and quietly pulled Zhuo Feng aside, and whispered, βDo you think that Pingce and Xingwen seem to be getting closer and closer?β
Zhuo Feng scratched his head in suspicion and said, βHavenβt they always been like this?β
Lin Manluo: β…β
Was it just the girl’s intuition kicking in, or was she overthinking it? She always felt that the relationship between Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen seemed to be different from before. In the past, they did have a good relationship, but outsiders knew at a glance that they were βgood buddiesβ kind of intimacy, Yue Xingwen would unceremoniously put his arm on Jiang Pingceβs shoulder and speak, his eyes were frankβ¦
But yesterday, she saw Jiang Pingce feeding Yue Xingwen oranges, and Xingwen blushed.
Would good buddies still blush when feeding each other?
Lin Manluo looked at the two of them suspiciously, just in time to see Jiang Pingce take the cup from Yue Xingwenβs hand. Yue Xingwen had just drunk half a glass of water from that cup, and Jiang Pingce didnβt mind drinking the remaining half a cup of water in one gulp.
Had his cleanliness been cured?
Lin Manluo retracted her gaze, feeling complicated.
She had a bold guess⦠Could it be that Xingwen and Pingce had fallen in love with each other over the years of getting along?
Time passed very slowly.
There were no plants or animals to be seen on this planet, and there were only 12 of them on the huge planet, hiding in the temporary base built by Zhang Xiaonian, and there were no entertainment activities to pass the time.
Everyone sat boringly for a whole day, and when they were hungry at night, they drank orange juice to fill their hunger.
The stomach was almost full, but they still felt hungry.
After all, they had not consumed essential protein and fat for 48 consecutive hours, and oranges could only supplement sugar and vitamins, which could not meet the metabolism of the human body.
This was the fourth day that everyone had come to the examination room of the <Depth of the Starry Sky> course of the Faculty of Physics.
There were 26 days left to leave.
Thinking of the next 26 days like this, Ke Shaobinβs scalp tingles. He simply took out his laptop and played a Minesweeper game to pass the time, distracting himself so that he was not so hungry.
Xin Yan carefully studied the periodic table next to him, took out a lot of bottles and cans, not knowing what kind of experiment he was doingββ He actually opened the Chemistry Laboratory on an alien planet, what a scientific research maniac!
Lan Yarong took out her law books and gave everyone a law class.
A hard day had finally passed.
On the fifth day and the sixth day, was also spent in such a boring, dull way.
And in order to conserve their strength, everyone did not dare to go out to move around, after all, their current food was only oranges and leaves, and a group of young people had eaten oranges for three days in a row, and they were already starving to the point that their chests were sticking to their backs.
The situation was much worse than they imagined.
When he woke up on the morning of the seventh day, Ke Shaobin obviously felt dizzy and weak.
At the moment he stood up, he almost fell, hurriedly supported himself with Xiao Tu next to him, and whispered to Yue Xingwen with a pale face, βXingwen, although there are oranges to eat every day, I still feel very hungry, more and more hungry!β
After eating oranges for four days in a row, everyone already felt hungry and weak. It was hard to imagine what it would be like to eat it for more than twenty days in a row? When the time came, it was afraid that they would not even have the strength to raise their hands, and if they encountered danger again, would they not become a flock of sheep to be slaughtered?
Yue Xingwen looked at everyoneβs sick appearance, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, βWhile we still have the strength now, we must find a way to expand the source of food.β
Jiang Pingce looked at him and asked, βThat abyss monster?β
Yue Xingwen frowned. βItβs best not to disturb it, that thing is too terrifying, and itβs a species that has never been seen before. I donβt know where its weaknesses are, we may not be able to beat it.β Thinking of the dense eyes of the monster he saw in the cave at that time, Yue Xingwenβs scalp was numb.
Ke Shaobin said with a bitter face, βMoreover, when we escaped, the cave had completely collapsed, and we couldnβt go back and let Xiao Nian dig it inch by inch, right? In case we fall into the abyss, itβs still a dead end.β
Lin Manluo said softly, βIn ancient times, when there was a famine, many people survived by eating leaves and bark. We ate oranges for a few days in a row, and then we ate my leaves, and every once in a while I summoned trees and lawns for everyone to endure and pass the day.β
However, the intense hunger was still like insects and ants constantly gnawing on their nerves, urging them to find food as soon as possible. Although it was theoretically possible to survive by eating bark and leaves, the experience of being dizzy from hunger was really terrible.
At this moment, Xu Yishen suddenly said, βDoesnβt Xin Yan have the <Periodic Table>? Is it possible to synthesize amino acids artificially by chemical methods?β
Liu Zhaoqingβs eyes lit up. βYes! How did I forget this? Amino acids are a kind of organic matter containing carboxyl and amino groups in the molecule, which can be synthesized artificially. Xin Yan has a full set of chemical experimental equipment in his hands, if amino acids can be synthesized, then we can supplement the protein needed for human metabolism!β
Xin Yanβs voice came from not far away, βIβm doing an experiment, and there will be results soon.β
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
After a while, Xin Yan came to everyone with two glass bottles and said, βArtificial synthesis requires more than 6 steps of chemical reaction, which is more troublesome. I have only successfully synthesized two essential amino acids at present, everyone should supplement it as nutrients, and donβt worry about eating this thing.β
Ke Shaobin said in a complicated mood, βI thought you were tinkering with those chemical instruments in the past two days, and you were doing some novel experimentsβ¦ it turns out that it is synthesizing nutrients for everyone?β
Xin Yan said lightly, βSomething is better than nothing, intake of a little essential amino acids can reduce the burden of the bodyβs metabolism. Next, Iβll try to synthesize aliphatic compounds to give you some oil.β
Lin Manluo said excitedly, βXin Yan is really our chef!β
With Xin Yanβs nutrients, even if they couldnβt eat enough every day, it was much better than just eating leaves and bark. Everyoneβs mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
In this way, they stayed up until the tenth day. Although everyone was not energetic because of hunger, the nutritional supplement was quite sufficient, and there were no obvious physical problems.
Ke Shaobin looked at the bracelet and said, βItβs already a third of the way, and there are 20 days left, everyone hold on.β
At this moment, Xiao Tu suddenly issued an alert. βUnknown movement coordinates have been found ahead!β
Ke Shaobin hurriedly sat up straight and opened his laptopββ
He saw a red coordinate constantly flashing on the laptop screen, and approaching their location at a very fast speed!
