Zhang Bei thought for a long time and decided to probe the other party’s situation first.
“If there’s no fire source, can we change it to something else?” Zhang Bei asked.
The other party replied instantly, “No.”
“But you don’t have food. What’s the use of having the fire source?” Zhang Bei continued to ask.
The other party said, “To be honest, I’m on Neptune. It’s too far from the sun. I haven’t seen sunlight since I woke up.”
Before Zhang Bei could reply, the other party continued, “And it’s especially cold here. I just want some warm light!”
Zhang Bei was not a saint, so he naturally would not give him the flints for free.
Therefore, Zhang Bei said, “I only have one flint, but I really want a small nest of my own.”
The other party didn’t speak and sent the exchange request.
Zhang Bei agreed. One flint was gone, and he got the tent he wanted the most.
After the transaction, the other party was not in a hurry to exit the chat. Instead, he slowly sent a few words: “Be careful of the night.”
Zhang Bei sent a few question marks but there was no reply. He opened the outer packaging of the tent and began to assemble it according to the instruction book.
Looking at the thick instruction book, Zhang Bei couldn’t help but click his tongue. “Is the installation of a high-level tent so complicated?”
“Forget it. I hope I won’t have to sleep on the cardboard when the next night comes.” Zhang Bei sighed and began to assemble it.
First, he had to hit the fixed iron stake into the ground. This made it difficult for Zhang Bei.
Without tools, he could only use rocks to slowly hit the ground.
Zhang Bei picked up many stones and changed them as they cracked. Finally, when most of the stones were broken, the iron stakes were all smashed into the ground.
Zhang Bei washed his hands with some mineral water and found that his hands were full of wounds. Some areas were bleeding, and his wrists were swollen.
“Let’s take a rest and eat something.” Zhang Bei sat on the ground and took out a bottle of ice water from the fridge, gulping down most of it.
“Awesome!” Zhang Bei exhaled with relief. He picked up the bread and ham sausage beside him and took a bite.
After eating, Zhang Bei applied some ice water to his wrist and continued to assemble the tent.
“Is this rope tied to this cloth?”
“Where do I hang this hook?”
“Why can’t I open this door from inside?”
Zhang Bei came out of the window panting, then took down the tent door and put it back in.
Zhang Bei tried the zipper and found that there was no problem with the inside and outside. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The most troublesome thing was that this tent also had a small space. It was about three square meters and could be used as a storage space.
But it would take some effort to connect it to the large tent.
Zhang Bei first pinned two iron stakes in the ground and relied on them to set up the small tent.
Finally, Zhang Bei connected the large and small tent with iron hooks and ropes.
Zhang Bei shook the tent hard. After confirming that it was very stable, he sat down on the ground.
“Eh? Why is there a notch here?” Zhang Bei suddenly saw a notch on the top of the tent. He crawled up and touched it, then found some patterns on it.
“Forget it, I’m tired.” Zhang Bei jumped down and lay on the ground.
Looking at the darkening sky, Zhang Bei couldn’t help but laugh. He finally didn’t have to sleep on the ground anymore!
The detector suddenly buzzed.
Puzzled, Zhang Bei took out the detector and found that it was emitting a dazzling red light.
Zhang Bei had a bad feeling and quickly sank his consciousness into the detector.
The cold voice of the detector sounded.
[Level 1 Danger: A small meteor shower will arrive in two hours. Master, please be prepared. In addition, a small meteor shower is usually accompanied by ultra-low temperatures. Please take note to keep warm.]
Zhang Bei exited the detector and looked at the sky. It would be dark in about half an hour.
“There’s not much time left. I have to quickly move the things into the tent.” Zhang Bei rolled up his sleeves.
First was the fridge. It took Zhang Bei a lot of effort to move the fridge full of things into the tent.
Then, there was some bread, instant noodles, and other food. Zhang Bei put them all into the small tent.
There was also some water. Zhang Bei put some into the small tent and some in various corners of the large tent.
“These water bottles can also put some weight on the tent,” Zhang Bei thought.
After moving everything into the tent, Zhang Bei looked outside and relaxed.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the vegetables that had just sprouted. Zhang Bei slapped his head and cursed silently.
“F*ck, how could I forget this!” Zhang Bei hurriedly ran to the plants.
The plants could not be moved into the tent. Zhang Bei scratched his head.
I got it! Zhang Bei put the leftover instant noodles bags on the sprouts and covered the plants with paper boxes and stones.
When he was finished, Zhang Bei felt that it was about time. He quickly crawled into the tent, closed the door and the window, and put on all his clothes before sitting down in front of the kettle.
Zhang Bei first plugged the kettle in the energy device and quietly waited for the water to boil.
After a while, Zhang Bei figured that it was time. However, he didn’t feel anything, so he stuck his head out of the window and looked outside.
Just as Zhang Bei stuck his head out, he saw a small light dot in the distance suddenly expand, then emit a faint explosion.
Seeing this, Zhang Bei had a rough idea. Because he was far away from the explosion site, this small meteor rain was evaluated as level 1 danger.
Suddenly, Zhang Bei shivered. He quickly closed the window and sat in front of the hot kettle.
The water was boiling. Zhang Bei opened a bag of instant noodles and put it in the kettle, then put the kettle in his arms.
Sensing the temperature from the kettle, Zhang Bei heaved a sigh of relief. His breath instantly turned into mist, indicating that the temperature had fallen very low.
When the noodles were ready, Zhang Bei hugged the kettle and stuffed the noodles into his mouth. With every bite, his body felt warmer.
After finishing the last mouthful of soup, Zhang Bei felt his body warm, as if the cold outside had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, Zhang Bei heard a thud, as if something had hit the tent.
Before Zhang Bei could listen carefully, the sounds of the thuds became continuous.
Zhang Bei couldn’t help but worry when he heard the dense sounds outside. He found some clothes and paper boxes and put them on his head to make a simple helmet.
After putting on the helmet, Zhang Bei carefully opened the window and stuck his head out.
Zhang Bei saw a sky full of shooting stars that were falling like a waterfall, fast and fierce.
After those stones broke through the protective barrier of the asteroid, their speed would be slightly slower, but when they hit the ground, they would still create a hole.
Zhang Bei looked at his plants. The makeshift covers had already been smashed, let alone the plants.
Zhang Bei could not bear to watch anymore. Moreover, the simple helmet could not protect the head well. He could only resentfully stick his head back into the tent and close the window..
