Chapter 118: Hydration
Chapter 118: Hydration
The temperature at night reached dozens of degrees below zero, and even if there were fires, they would not have much effect. Even if you were wearing only your underwear, you would be frozen all over.
Bian Shi was still picking out the nematodes one by one with a dagger.
Seeing Bian Shi's serious look, Jiang Zhi reached out his hand as if possessed and touched his cheek, but Bian Shi dodged it in a second.
"Uncle, can you be more quiet?"
"......" Jiang Zhi pursed his lips and said faintly: "Uncle?"
Bian Shi sneered, "Haha, big brother, you're almost 30, how can you compare to a young man like me in my early twenties? I call you uncle out of respect. Don't touch me. If you don't cooperate with the treatment, I'll kill you with a knife!"
Jiang Zhiqi laughed. It was the first time in his life that someone disliked his age.
"No, I need to wash it."
Jiang Zhi stood in front of Bian Shi, and he felt that this posture was awkward. When he heard that it was not over yet, he said with a headache: "There is no water, let's hurry on."
Bian Shi stood up with difficulty and pointed at his nose, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you really not afraid of getting infected? Stand still."
The identities of the two seemed to have changed in an instant, and Bian Shi became his previous sharp-tongued self again.
It felt really good to give orders to the commander. Bian Shi straightened his back and raised his hands under Jiang Zhi's suspicious gaze.
A small blue light gathered at the fingertips, and a stream of clear water flowed out from the light.
Jiang Zhi was slightly stunned and was about to stop him when Bian Shi stopped him, "Hurry up, I can't hold on for much longer."
Taking a bath with precious fresh water was such a luxury that I was almost stunned by it until the end.
Seeing Bian Shi's legs weaken and he was about to fall, Jiang Zhi grabbed his waist and asked, "Are you okay?"
Bian Shi's body had not recovered yet, and the forced use of his supernatural powers made him very weak.
"Jiang Zhi, do I save your life this time?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Jiang Zhi's purple eyes, and he nodded, "Forget it, what's wrong?"
Bian Shi smiled and said, "Then let's write off everything that happened before. You can't mention the marking anymore, or say I lied to you, or that I concealed my gender and abilities. You can't mention that anymore."
Facing Bian Shi, Jiang Zhi always lost his temper, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it."
It was too cold at night, and Jiang Zhi was freezing all over. Bian Shi raised his chin and said, "How about I wash your combat uniform and dry it by the fire, otherwise you'll freeze to death."
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and warned in a low voice: "Don't use your supernatural powers anymore."
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the combat uniform. You can buy more clothes if you run out of them.
Jiang Zhi threw his combat uniform directly into the sea, which served as a decoy for the pursuers who caught up here.
The fire was almost burnt out, Jiang Zhi squatted down towards Bian Shi and said, "Let's go."
Bian Shi picked up two small potted plants and jumped onto Jiang Zhi's back with a limp.
"Where are we going now?"
Jiang Zhi said in a deep voice: "Interstellar Dock." There should be quite a few black ships there that can go to the fourth planet.
Bian Shi looked at the potted plants and said, "I just watered them, and this one seems to have sprouted."
Jiang Zhi took a look and nodded, "It's good as long as it sprouts." As long as the spiritual grass grows up quickly, Bian Shi's virus can be controlled.
Jiang Zhi's body was too cold, and Bian Shi tried to move, but he warned him first, "Behave yourself, don't move... uh, don't move around."
"Do you think I want to? It's too cold. It's forty degrees below zero today, right?"
Jiang Zhi chuckled, "We would have frozen to death by then. Don't worry, daybreak is almost here."
They had no idea how many all-nighters they had stayed up all night, traveling without sleep, but they were always caught up. Before they knew it, they were on a terrifying escape.
Hearing Jiang Zhi's panting, Bian Shi felt embarrassed and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. "How about you put me down and find a stick so I can walk by myself."
Jiang Zhi's lack of response should mean refusal.
Bian Shi sighed and placed his fingertips on Jiang Zhi's lips. "Rehydrate."
Jiang Zhi was stunned and stopped. "What did you say?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity when his mouth was open, Bian Shi inserted his fingers, and a blue light lit up at the fingertips. A stream of clear and sweet water flowed into Jiang Zhi's mouth, and his Adam's apple rolled subconsciously.
Jiang Zhi hadn't come back to his senses yet. He turned his head slightly, but was pushed back by Bian Shi again.
He saw that Bian Shi's eyes were blue, emitting a faint blue light.
So this is the magical water-based mutant?
Jiang Zhi pursed his lips, took Bian Shi's hand, and without saying a word, carried him forward.
Bian Shi fell asleep due to exhaustion, and when he woke up, he didn't know where he was.
It was extremely dark all around. He sat up and found himself sleeping on a wooden board. The wound on his leg had been bandaged, and two small potted plants were placed beside him.
But I couldn’t see Jiang Zhi’s back.
"Jiang Zhi?" Bian Shi was stunned when he spoke. Why was his voice so hoarse?
The shabby door was opened with a creaking sound. Bian Shi looked at the door vigilantly. Fortunately, it was a familiar figure who came in.
"Awake?" Jiang Zhi walked over to him and handed him a bottle of nutrient solution. "Eat something first."
Oral nutrient solution is much more precious than injectable nutrient solution. Bian Shi knew that Jiang Zhi had kept the nutrient solution for him.
He held the nutrient solution and looked towards the door. "Where is this? Why are you dressed like this?"
Jiang Zhi was wearing sunglasses, a cloth wrapped around his head, a simple sweatshirt and shirt jacket, and a pair of casual pants with a few holes and patches on them.
He originally had a wheat-colored complexion, but now he had used some unknown method to make his skin color even darker, as if he had become a completely different person.
"We are at the Star Dock. This is a temporary rest stop. We will leave at night."
At night? Did he sleep all day?
"What time is it now?" Bian Shi wanted to get up but was stopped by Jiang Zhi.
"Five in the afternoon, we'll leave at seven in the evening." Jiang Zhi took out a pair of glasses and an intelligent computer from his pocket.
"Your eye color cannot be discovered. This is the only temporary disguise. You can use this intelligent computer for now."
Bian Shi took over the intelligent computer, which was a very old version. The mother planet no longer sold such intelligent computers. Where did Jiang Zhi buy it from?
"No, where did you get the money to buy an intelligent computer?"
Jiang Zhi glanced at the smart computer on his wrist and said casually, "I sold the gun and knife." His smart computer account could not be used, so he could only pawn the valuables on him.
"Rest first, I'll pick you up in two hours."
Just as Jiang Zhi was about to leave, Bian Shi grabbed him and said, "Wait, you haven't told me how we are going to get to the fourth star."
Jiang Zhi looked at the slender hand, his purple eyes hidden under the sunglasses were a little dazed, and he subconsciously shook hands with it.
"We are now ordinary residents of our home planet. I am a spaceship repairman, helping the captain repair the spaceship in exchange for a ride."
"You are my brother, your legs are not good, and you can't move around freely."
Bian Shi blinked, "Did they believe it?"
Jiang Zhi chuckled and said, "No one can repair their spaceship for them, so they can only trust me."
There are many such black ships at the interstellar docks. They have no travel permits but still travel through the galaxy. People call them interstellar pirates. Because they have no actual impact, the Alliance has not stepped in to manage them.
Most of these spaceships are scrapped ships discarded by repair shops and bought up by interstellar pirates for use. The risk is very high, but there is no suitable way to leave the mother planet now.
Jiang Zhi seemed to be holding back something. As soon as he went out, he suddenly coughed up blood.
The injuries on his body have healed, but the old glandular problem is still there. He has been relying on catalysts for so many years, and his body has long been hollowed out.
Jiang Zhi and Jiang Xiao have already fallen out. From the conversation with the interstellar thief, we know that dozens of patrol ships have been dispatched to chase him, and it seems that they want to take his life.
In that case, he might as well leave here as soon as possible.
It’s better for this commander not to do it.
Jiang Zhi pushed up his sunglasses and walked into the repair room steadily.
He thought that he could not fulfill the agreement with Gu Qingyu.
He was unable to protect his home planet, unable to restore its former glory. Since he had little time left in his life, he might as well live for himself.
At the rest stop, Bian Shi was watering the potted plants twice a day, hoping that the plants would thrive and grow quickly.
The smart brain on his wrist sent a reminder. Bian Shi took a look and saw that it was a pushed news.
It's all about the impending dismissal.
The commander's disappearance was a strange thing, especially since the general had sent so many pursuers. The people were all speculating about what the general had done to anger the general.
Bian Shi leaned against the wall, reading through the news one by one until he came to the news about the wedding a few days ago...
