Chapter 44 Goodwill
What time is it now?
Lying on the ground, Chen Shi wondered how long he had been here.
I remember the last time he returned to Earth more than ten hours later. This time, he didn't know how long it was teleported away, but he only knew that he was still in his sleep at that time.
Judging from the sleep status, he was not sleepy after being teleported, which means that the time for teleportation should be between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m.
So based on this calculation, it is now from 14:00 to 16:00 on December 18th.
For an ordinary person, it is not difficult to calculate time in a mental arithmetic manner. According to this estimate, it is basically time for him to be teleported away.
The premise is that the unknown civilization will not change its mind.
Speaking of which, is this mysterious intelligent life the "local" of this metal city?
Although it seems not human, it has a lot in common with humans...
What made Chen Shi strange was that from the perspective of this city itself, the level of technology should be quite high, but the actions and dressing of this intelligent life cannot match the level of technology of this city.
In metaphor, it is like a primitive man who came to modern society, and he feels very incongruent.
After tossing and turning, Chen Shi thought about it, and gradually, due to fatigue, his eyelids began to be unable to open. The temperature in this room was very gentle, which was very easy for people to fall asleep. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.
The opportunity for him to wake up was that his stomach hurt. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the strange and mysterious intelligent life stepped on his stomach, and he was yawning like a person.
Damn, did you get my carpet?
Chen Shi was angry and anxious, and stood up with his hands.
It ignored Chen Shi, got out of bed and got into the pile of debris next to the bed, and struggled to move something out and put it on the table.
"What the hell?"
Chen Shi looked closely and was shocked.
In the transparent glass box, there was a strange creature lying on it. His whole body was like a burnt red octopus, with dense eyes covered with them and many tiny tentacles all over his body. This image directly reminded Chen Shi of the evil god in Cthulhu mythology.
"Ahhhhh..."
The monster in the glass box made a "ah" sound like a baby crying. Combined with its extremely terrifying image, it made people tremble all over and hardly dared to take a look.
Compared to Chen Shi's chill from the bottom of his heart, he was not afraid at all. He took out particles similar to feed from the small box beside him, opened the top cover on the glass box, and sprinkled a handful of particles into it.
"Ahhhhh..."
The monster squirmed, spreading the tiny tentacles on its body, and the sticky liquid rolled up and fell. I don’t know the specific way of eating, but I only saw that the tentacles swept over, but there was nowhere where the sticky particles went.
After feeding the "feed", it covered the top cover of the glass box, turned around easily, and looked at Chen Shi.
Is this its pet?
Chen Shi suddenly realized that just like humans on Earth like to raise tigers and lions at home, it may be strange if aliens see it, but in the eyes of humans, this is very normal.
And here he is actually playing the role of an alien. In fact, in the eyes of this intelligent life, this should be just a very ordinary pet.
But soon, Chen Shi began to worry about how to communicate with this intelligent life.
By the way!
Chen Shi's eyes lit up.
What is the common language in the universe?
Do you still need to think more?
It must be mathematics!
Give him a pen and a piece of paper, and maybe he can communicate with this intelligent life... After scanning the whole room, he gave up this idea.
Just like in the room of a waste purchase site, you don’t think that there are things like paper and pen, let alone that paper and pen may have been eliminated.
After looking at Chen Shi, it withdrew its gaze and searched for the garbage dump again. Chen Shi was puzzled and stood there blankly. But immediately, he touched his throat, and the pain of dry mouth made him unable to help but look at the valve of the pipe.
After so much sweat and not drinking a sip of water, his mouth had already cracked and his throat was always sparking. He really wanted to drink a glass of water.
As soon as the valve of that pipe was unscrewed, water flowed down, like tap water. But he didn't know whether this kind of water could be drunk by humans.
He remembered that half a year ago, he was so thirsty that he casually drank a glass of tap water in the faucet, and ended up getting tired of his stomach several times...
The tap water with slightly more bacterial excess is like this. Who knows what the water in this alien planet’s pipeline is...
It is also very likely that I die of diarrhea after drinking...
Chen Shi pursed his lips, he was too thirsty, really too thirsty.
He sweated too much today, and his desire for water was ten times stronger than not drinking water a day. The idea of drinking water came to his death.
I was thirsty, my head was so dizzy, my heartbeat was pounding like a drum, and my breathing was rapid...
Chen Shi was shocked, was he almost dehydrated?
Everyone knows the common sense of dehydration, and the symptoms of this dehydration are obvious. Chen Shi grabbed his throat and scratched it. No, if he doesn't drink water or teleported back to the earth, he may really die here.
“%…@##¥¥”
Chen Shi was dizzy and was about to step to unscrew the valve of the pipe, suddenly, it seemed to have taken something out of the garbage dump and handed it to Chen Shi.
What?
Chen Shi looked down in confusion and saw that in the middle of its two claws, a metal collar was glowing.
Collar?
what the hell?
Chen Shi looked at it in confusion and saw its bright and amber gem eyes emitting a dazzling and charming light. At a glance, Chen Shi almost couldn't move his gaze.
Chen Shi's confusion made him not reach out to take the collar. It turned his head and thought about it, grabbed the collar and tried it on his neck. When he pointed at Chen, he handed it to him.
Gift?
Chen Shi suddenly realized that this was a gift?
Yes, since this intelligent life has not shown hostility from beginning to end and is very friendly, this shows that the other party is kind. And a kind intelligent life gives another intelligent life a gift to express the meaning of friendship, which is really normal.
Chen Shi nodded, reached out to take it, looked carefully, and found that the surface of the collar was silver metallic. After polishing, it was smooth and neat, without any marks or any words. With a gentle pull, it was pulled halfway from it, making it easy to wear on your neck.
This gift is very strange.
Chen Shi didn't see anything unusual, but out of caution, he didn't put the thing on his neck. Instead, he said thank you and hung the collar on his wrist.
