Chapter 2524: Deadly Temperatures

Ning Shu felt that it absolutely did matter. What did he even mean? If she didn’t find any food, it meant that they were going to starve.

In truth, Ning Shu didn’t know if she was even going to live to see the next day.

There was a huge difference between the day and night temperature on Planet Sehlde. It was extremely hot during the day, and as cold as a winter solstice at night.

Since Planet Sehlde had no ability to regulate its weather and climate, it had to endure the weird and deadly temperatures.

Being both cold and hungry had caused a great many people to die in their sleep.

Ning Shu had never experienced anything like this before. During her previous missions, she had never been reduced to such a state before, where she didn’t even have anything to eat.

Ning Shu scooped out some water from the water tank, but the water was muddy.

Even though she was so thirsty that her throat felt like it was burning, seeing the water made Ning Shu lose the courage to drink it.

If she drank such dirty water, she might just become even more dehydrated from diarrhea. Also, if she got sick, she had no medicine to treat herself with.

Damn it!

Ning Shu held the broken bowl that she’d scooped up the water with and put it on her lips. There was a despairing expression on her face.

Seeing Ning Shu’s expression, Alviss said, “Sister, you have to let the water sit first. Wait until the junk and dust sink to the bottom of the bowl.”

“Yeah, of course. I’m just too thirsty.” Ning Shu put down the bowl and looked into the big water tank. There was a thick layer of sand in it, and even some black sludge at the bottom of it.

Ning Shu: …

However, when Ning Shu saw some charcoal at the foot of the wall, she was immediately delighted. The charcoal could absorb the impurities in the water.

Ning Shu took a small piece of charcoal and put it in a bowl. Then, she found a pot, which was badly deformed.

She scooped some water into the bowl with the charcoal in it. She waited until the water became a little clearer, then poured the cleaned part of the water into the pot, before preparing to boil it.

There must be a lot of bacteria and germs in the polluted water. Drinking unboiled water would simply be torturing her own body.

Alviss looked at Ning Shu as she busied about, but didn’t speak. He sat quietly in his wheelchair.

Ning Shu hung up the pot and started to boil the water.

As she put flammable garbage into the fire to keep it lit, Ning Shu supported her chin and thought about how she and Alviss should live.

Alyssa’s wishes were to survive, leave Planet Sehlde, become a mecha pilot, and make it so that her brother could stand.

These wishes gave Ning Shu a massive headache. Each and every one of them was so difficult.

She’d have to work to her bones just to survive on this planet. There were no food crops here, only garbage, and digging through the garbage might not necessarily mean that she could find any food.

What about leaving Planet Sehlde? That was so ridiculous. How was she supposed to get to another planet?

Without a spacecraft and a wormhole to interstellar jump through, she simply could not leave this planet.

Wanting to become a mecha pilot was an even more ridiculous dream. Mecha spacecraft were luxuries. It wasn’t something that could be gotten just by having some mental strength—she also needed people to build the spacecraft.

Her only chance to leave was those people, who came to Planet Sehlde to find people with strong mental strength.

Alviss saw the water in the pot bubbling up and said, “Sister, the water is boiling.”

Ning Shu came back to her senses and extinguished the fire. She looked at the steaming water in the pot. How great would it be if she had some noodles to put into it.

Thinking of noodles made Ning Shu feel even hungrier.

Ning Shu took the broken bowl and filled it with… well, boiled water for herself and Alviss.

Since Ning Shu had filtered and boiled the water, she felt that it should be clean.

With that to comfort her, Ning Shu drank the water in big gulps.

Ning Shu covered the leftover water in the pot with something to prevent dust and dirt from falling into it. The cover she used looked like cardboard but was made from a material that she didn’t recognize.

“Alviss, you should only drink boiled water from now on,” Ning Shu said to her younger brother.

Alviss, very obediently, nodded.

He was a really taciturn kid.
