It's raining. The rain has come in a hurry. Most of the people in the fourth mine of the 9956 mining area are still in the mine. The rain has already started before they even heard the news that it is going to rain.

But rain does not mean rest. They, the Tanlon people who are destined to keep mining like slaves, are not qualified to enjoy rest. In order to live and for food, most of the Tanlon people wiped out their lives.

With the rain on his face, he lowered his head numbly and went to carry the ore out of the mine.

Some people fell down in the rain, and even if they were injured, as long as their ability to move was not affected, they would still grit their teeth and work, regardless of the condition of the injury, and they could not care about the condition of the injury.

Some low-lying mines began to be filled with rainwater, and the Tanlon people working in them climbed out silently and skillfully. Occasionally, someone fell completely into the water due to the slippery rain and could not get up again, and there was no exclamation.

Scream... They still have to save their strength and energy to continue working in other mines that are not filled with rainwater.

Only after the rain stops and the water in the mine dries up, will their family members rush over to collect the bodies, and then the next person who is still able to move will continue to join the mining work.

If no one in a family goes mining, then they have no source of food and can only wait to starve to death.

There are no crops grown on the planet Tanlon... No, it's not that there aren't any. Next to the huge starship, there are thousands of acres of crops, but they don't belong to the Tanlon people at all.

Before being discovered by interstellar people to be extremely rich in mineral resources, humans on the planet Tanlon also lived a simple but free farming life. At that time, the planet Tanlon was a green planet when viewed from the universe.

It was the interstellar people's reckless land reclamation that turned most of Tanlon's planet into a bare mine, turning from emerald green to dull black. The patches of black were all caused by the interstellar people lifting up the surface.

Exposed mine site.

After excessive mining, without plants, the environment on the planet Tanlon has become extremely bad. Not only is it uninhabitable and difficult to survive, but it has even become more difficult to move. In order not to affect their own mining, the interstellar people finally settled in

Kahur trees were planted in some places with few mineral resources to ensure the normal ecology of the planet, which was also the predecessor of the entire Yegu Forest.

The Kahur tree grows very fast and can adapt to most harsh environments and climates. It did not take long to stabilize the deteriorating natural environment on the planet Tanlon. As the only remaining green color on the planet Tanlon, it has not yet become extinct.

All kinds of creatures eventually gathered in this forest, and their strengths were distinguished from the inside to the outside. The more powerful creatures lived in the depths of the forest farther away from humans.

The Tanlon people, who cannot grow crops and have no food source, can only rely on the interstellar people. The last piece of farmland left by the interstellar people is in their own hands, taking care of it with robots, and using high-tech technology to mix the crops with other

Things are made into nutritional paste, and only the Tanlon people who work in mining can receive a certain share every day as food for their own survival.

But with such a crop, it is extremely difficult to feed an entire planet. Even if we use high-yield fertilizers, high-tech planting technology, and machines that speed up plant growth, the nutritional pastes produced cannot guarantee that everyone will be fed.

…So starving is what people on this planet are best at.

This nutritional paste, which looks like pig food, has no taste and is not very tasty. Occasionally there are some rough particles that are difficult to swallow. I don’t know what it is made of mixed grains, but it can indeed ensure that the human body needs

The various nutrients allow people to live in a healthy state, instead of being thin and short.

Some people also choose to enter the Yegu Forest to search for food, but usually they are those who are desperate and have no way to continue mining, like Parker and Hulan. Although they are older children, the adults at home do not know how to mine.

They were allowed to go to the mines at night. It was their worries about the environment at home that prompted them to go into the Yegu Forest at night.

During the two growth periods, a half-grown child needs a lot of food. A woman who is about to give birth and has to rely only on a prime-age labor force to support herself is obviously full of difficulties.

That's why Parker chose to take his younger brother into the Yegu Forest to try his luck, because they didn't know how terrifying the Yegu Forest was, and young people are often ignorant and fearless.

"Parker!" The muscular middle-aged man shouted in the rain, and in the end, only the faint sound reached the ears of Parker next to him.

"Parker! It's raining... you take... Hulan back..."

Since returning from entering the Yegu Forest for the second time, Parker has become much quieter and calmer. He is often in a state of thinking. When he heard his father's words, he did not persist. Instead, he nodded obediently and looked for his own in the rain.

brother.

More than ninety days have passed since Parker transformed into the Zerg. During this period, Mo Lan has not contacted Parker once, but the shared mental network of the Zerg allows Parker to often perceive some things, such as some thoughts and consciousness that belong to Mo Lan.

.

For example, when he saw Akuli bullying those he didn't like, Parker usually would only feel angry, but now Parker could think of more things, as if there was a lot more knowledge in his mind out of thin air.

When drinking water, I will think of "unclean water contains parasites, which makes it easy to get sick, so it is best to boil the water to drink"; when injured, I will think of "the wound needs to be cleaned, otherwise it will become inflamed"...

Hulan was not far away, and Parker found the other party without much effort. The two of them hurried home in the rain. Hulan, like Parker, became much quieter.

Now the living conditions at their home are much better. Parker hunted a lot of prey in the Yegu Forest. He picked common prey and nothing special. He was very careful when sending it home so that no one would find it again.

A few days ago, my grandma gave birth to a younger sister successfully. Her milk supply was sufficient and the younger sister did not starve. Although she was not the younger brother that Parker and Hulan had imagined, they were still very happy.

After Parker transformed into a Zerg, his body strengthened a lot and he did more and more work while mining. Just to avoid being discovered by others, Parker always controlled himself and made his performance look less exaggerated. Even so,

The nutritional cream he eats every day also greatly ensures the family's food source, so no one needs to go hungry anymore.

Ordinarily, this should be the happy and beautiful life he imagined, but Parker couldn't accept it. He felt as if there was a fire in his body, always thinking about burning everything in front of him - this kind of life cannot be called at all.

Above is happiness.

I updated 4,000 words today, and I’m tired.

I don’t know if it’s better to update one chapter for 4,000, or split it into two chapters for 2,000.
Chapter completed!
