A pink luxury spaceship wanders through the AT-746 star system.

Dailu frowned, her eyes constantly scanning the control panel.

"Radar shows that Li Ji's spaceship came this way, so why has it disappeared again?"

Milia nervously clenched her hands: "Did he initiate another jump?"

Delulu shook her head: "Impossible, meow. The warp drive takes an hour to recharge, and they're not even on the radar for an hour, meow. They must have crashed on some planet, meow."

Milia immediately opened the star system region, where two dazzling stars were surrounded by 13 planets.

"There are 13 planets here alone, not including asteroids and moons. The area is so vast, how are we supposed to find them?"

Delulu turned around and asked Shark Baby, who was lying in the back row, "Can you see meow?"

"I have good eyesight, but I'm not a scanner. How can I see the entire star system?"

Dailulu pushed the joystick and sped forward: "We don't have much time left. We have to find Li Ji before we find him in prison, meow. Li Ji, you also need to think of a way to let us know where you are, meow."

Li Ji suddenly sneezed.

"It's so cold here."

"Now is not the time to say that."

"I know, but it's really cold! Achoo~"

Another sneeze sent the hammerhead sharks scrambling back in fright.

Nini's eyes widened excitedly: "It works! I'm sneezing more!"

"Sneezing isn't something you can just do whenever you want."

"Useless." Nini suddenly poked her nose, "Achoo—."

The loud sneeze made the hammerhead sharks retreat again, screaming, "The sun god is angry!"

What are they yelling about?

"I don't know, but it's working. You should find a direction quickly!"

As Nini kept poking her nose and sneezing, the hammerhead sharks retreated further and further away.

Li Ji looked around, but it was pitch black everywhere, and he couldn't see any direction at all.

If this continues, they will either be eaten by wild animals or die of hypothermia.

He felt his body grow heavy, his whole body began to tremble, his head became dizzy, and his soft skin began to harden, forming fine ice crystals, like the scales of some kind of amphibian. His body became increasingly stiff, and each time he lifted his tentacles, it became extremely difficult.

The hammerhead sharks stopped retreating and remained curled up and stiff in place, then rolled over in unison, revealing their white bellies.

Nini, trembling as she hugged herself, asked, "What are you doing?"

"To show weakness, the weakest point is the abdomen, which is exposed to indicate a lack of aggression. Shark babies also do this."

Li Ji suddenly realized: "They have gills, which means they're aquatic animals. They must live in water, where the temperature is definitely more comfortable than here. If we just follow them, achoo!"

"There's no need to sneeze now, right?"

"I can't control myself. But how can I get them to lead the way?"

Before Li Ji and his group could act, the hammerhead sharks suddenly changed direction and ran into the sea.

They cried out, shivering, "It's too cold, we're freezing to death!"

Li Ji and his companion immediately gave chase.

My body grew colder and my steps became heavier, and those agile figures receded into the distance.

"Bam—"

Nini fell heavily to the ground, panting heavily.

Li Ji pulled her desperately, saying, "We're almost there! I can see the sea! Hang in there a little longer!"

Nini couldn't stand up at all; her golden eyelashes were covered in white frost, and her body was cold and stiff like a golden statue.

Li Ji used all his strength to carry her on his back.

"Don't die! I promised to take you out of here, don't make me break my promise!"

Carrying someone on his back, Li Ji's already slow steps became even more cumbersome.

His breathing grew heavier, his body stiffened, and his vision blurred. The howling wind on the icy plains whistled in his ears, like a fierce threat. In the distance, he saw a faint glimmer of light shimmering in the darkness ahead, the light flickering.

"The sea, it's the sea!"

Li Ji tried desperately to crawl forward, but the tentacles seemed to be out of control and he couldn't pull them up at all.

He finally understood the torment that Shark had experienced in his human behavior course.

His vision became increasingly blurry, and he vaguely saw something emerging from the water.

Li Ji had a dream in which he was walking naked down the street. He only felt cold and didn't care about other people's stares. He just wanted to find some clothes to wear.

"Where are the clothes?!"

He suddenly woke up from his dream and found himself on a small island that he could see all the way to the end, not much bigger than his school dormitory.

Beneath us lay the cold, icy plain. On the island stood only a giant coniferous bamboo tree covered in frost, resembling a pine tree, which seemed strangely familiar.

"you're awake."

Nini sat beside her, wearing a pure black, coarse-haired leather coat that looked somewhat similar to sealskin.

Li Ji discovered that he also had one.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"They gave it to me."

Nini raised her chin.

A hammerhead shark with two arms emerged from the waves, holding a bright red fish in one hand and placing it in front of the two people. It gestured with its hand to indicate its mouth.

"Is he telling us to eat?"

"probably."

Li Ji picked up the fish with a skeptical look: "What exactly are they?"

"They seem to be natives, and they seem to regard us as gods."

Seeing the two pick up the fish, the hammerhead shark flipped over, exposing its belly, before diving back into the sea.

Li Ji held the fish in his hand; it had been lively and jumping around just a moment ago, but it had become stiff in no time.

The temperature on this small island seemed to be a bit lower than on the ice sheet, and I was barely able to keep the temperature within a comfortable range of -75 degrees Celsius by wearing a seal skin.

Nini, who was standing to the side, was still trembling. She was anxiously biting into the cold fish, her golden lips covered in blood and gel.

Nini laughed self-deprecatingly, "Like a wild man."

Li Ji wasn't very hungry, and he felt a little lost holding the fish.

Nini's eyes suddenly widened, and she clutched her stomach: "Something's wrong!"

"I told you eating raw fish isn't healthy, so please stop spouting nonsense."

"No, it's just that my stomach feels warm."

"What? How could eating such a cold fish make your stomach feel warm?"

"Really, touch it if you don't believe me."

Nini grabbed Li Ji's hand and pressed it against her lower abdomen, where she could feel a warm sensation.

Li Ji curiously took a bite of the fish, and soon a warm current rose in his stomach.

"This ecosystem is amazing. It has evolved fish that can warm their stomachs. No wonder intelligent species could evolve under such harsh conditions."

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Ji lent the seal skin to Nini and then jumped into the sea for a swim.

He plunged into the near-freezing sea, where the warm water enveloped him, making him feel as if he were in a hot spring.

"This feels so good. Do you want to get off?"

Nini, wrapped in two seal skins, quickly waved her hands: "I'm dense, I'll sink."

"Indeed, I didn't expect you to be so heavy when I carried you on my back just now."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I didn't mean that at all. The survival issue is basically resolved; we need to find a way to contact Delulu and the others. I don't want to live like a savage here forever." (End of Chapter)
