Section 03 Zero Crystal

“Hey…”

Chen Zheng dragged a heavy sled with large pieces of fish on it. He walked between the "refrigerator" of the wooden shelf, as if he was walking in the library to browse books. Whenever his eyes passed by the shelf filled with meat bricks, he felt at ease.

After putting the meat bricks, he dragged out the empty sled and stepped on the broken scales and bone fragments all over the ground. Chen Zheng returned to the corpse with only the fish head, carefully looked at the big fish's head, reached out to take out the pendant and summoned the lightsaber, and chopped towards the last piece of meat thick at the back of the big fish's neck.

"Buzz--"

“Huh?”

As a piece of fish fell, a beam of reflection flashed past Chen Zheng. Chen Zheng snatched it up and found that a small, colorless and transparent crystal was inlaid in the center of the fish, which shone with colorful light as if it was like a diamond in the sun.

What's this!?

Chen Zheng curiously pulled it out and took it in his hand to observe it carefully.

Pure and transparent, this is the adjective that came to mind in Chen Zheng's mind. Generally speaking, adjectives like "brilliant" are used to describe diamonds, but after seeing this small crystal fragment, Chen Zheng felt that it was more appropriate to put this word on this crystal.

Under the sunlight, the crystal reflects colorful light, which is so beautiful. If you take it to the earth, I believe this crystal will make all diamonds pale.

However, at this moment, standing on the alien earth, this small stone was no different from the broken scales and fish bones on the ground except to make Chen Zheng feel better.

After all, beauty cannot be eaten as a meal.

An unexpected gain can be regarded as a adjustment after work. After a while, Chen Zheng praised it, he put it in his pocket and pulled the sled to continue to divide the fish.

However……

"Huh?? Why are there still...!?"

Chen Zheng looked at a large piece of fish more than ten centimeters thick in his hand in shock, and the crystal clear crystal appeared again in the center of it.

Moreover, this crystal is at least one round larger than the previous one!

"Do you say it!?"

Chen Zheng suddenly thought of a possibility, quickly pulled the sled, and stood on the sled for as long as possible to observe the part that had not been cut off from the back of the big fish.

really!

Without looking carefully, Chen Zheng's gaze was just level with the middle line of the back of the fish's neck, and he discovered a large piece of crystal attached to the back of the fish's cervical vertebra.

The first piece of crystal is about the size of a little finger, the second piece is already as big as a table tennis ball, and the piece in front of you is even the size of a tennis ball.

The lightsaber swung lightly, and Chen Zheng carefully cut it deeper. As the carapace-like scales at the back of the big fish were covered with glass, dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sun, making Chen Zheng unable to open his eyes.

"What is this...the exact thing is it!?"

Whether it is a human or an animal, it is not rare to have stones in the body, but it is too terrifying to have diamonds in the body and there are also large pieces of them.

As the flesh peeled off, Chen Zheng took out these unknown crystals piece by piece with confusion until no crystals were missing, and then he lowered his head to count.

There are about 40 pieces of crystals. The largest one is the size of a fitness ball, and the smallest one is the size of a little finger in the first section. Its volume starts from the center of the back of the neck of the big fish and becomes smaller in turn.

Directly above the largest piece is the arthropod-like tentacles of the strange fish that left a deep impression on Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng found a piece of bark, piled the crystals all over it, turned around and continued to divide the fish.

As the saying goes, these crystals cannot be eaten as food, and the hard-earned food at present is the most important thing.

The morning passed without realizing it. It was not until the whole big fish was cut that Chen Zheng wiped his sweat dry, held the thick broth, and rested on the sled.

After two days, the huge monster fish corpse finally disappeared, leaving only a ferocious skull and broken scales all over the ground.

The good part of the fish has become about the same size and the thickness is basically the same, and is placed in a "fridge" like a bookshelves.

As for some bad parts that were sun-dried, Chen Zheng dug a hole in the snow, spread it with crushed ice and threw this part of the fish in it. The same is true for other inedible internal organs.

Finally, Chen Zheng built several rows of "refrigerators" in it. Especially the fish bladder, which was carefully poked and put away by Chen Zheng.

The fish bladder is also called fish white. It is filled with gas. It is an organ used by bone fish to control the rise and fall of the body and can also assist in breathing. It can not only be eaten, but also used as medicine, but most importantly, it can be made of fish glue with the fish bladder.

Chen Zheng vaguely remembered that in ancient fishing boats used fish glue, shell powder and other mixtures of things to fill the gaps. In addition, fish glue is also very good for sticking wood.

"Hiss...huh..."

The hot fish soup was rolling on the tip of his tongue. Maybe it was very sweet in itself, or maybe Chen Zheng was very hungry, but no matter what, his face was full of happiness when he was holding the fish soup at this moment, as if he was holding it was not a fish soup, but a delicacy.

After eating and drinking, Chen Zheng simply lay on the sled to bask in the sun while biting a fine piece of wood.

Before I knew it, it has been almost a week since Chen Zheng came to this planet. From the beginning, he almost got killed by aliens and alien fish, to the time he was so hungry that he put on the back and then to now eating and drinking, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun...

...The yesterday in a trance seems to be a different world.

I don't know what happened to my adoptive father.

Chen Zheng sighed and fiddled with the previous trophy: a white mobile phone-sized instrument, a flat metal similar to a button, and a piece of something that looks like a watch but does not have a strap.

He has always stored these things in close proximity. On the one hand, he does not occupy any place. On the other hand, he is very clear that these things are absolutely important.

Apart from the suit that slug-like alien is wearing only these three items. Chen Zheng, the white mobile phone-sized instrument, had long experienced its magic, and he still hasn't figured out what the other two are used for.

After fiddling with it for a while, the button-sized metal was completely solid in the shape of a button, and there was no clue at all. Chen Zheng had some speculations about the thing that looked like a watch but had no strap.

This thing... should be an alien's personal computer, mobile phone or something similar.

This is not a speculation.

When on Earth, Chen Zheng once saw that alien who turned into a giant had used it, as if he was looking for something.

"Yes! Why did I forget?"

Chen Zheng suddenly sat up.
