The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Cleaning Up the Battlefield

Ji You, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... all stood up straight and neat, saluting to Ye Liqiang and the other warriors: ”Seniors!”

Ye Liqiang and the others paused for a moment, seeing this group of energetic kids, Ye Liqiang smiled and said: ”Originally, I thought you would all be limping, but you’re all fine.”

As he spoke.

Ye Liqiang stepped forward and gave Ji You, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... a hard pat on the shoulder, laughing: ”Good!”

”Very good!”

”Worthy successors of our Alliance!”

”The new wave!”

1, 2, 3... a total of 17, not one less, not one more, exactly right. As Senior Ye Liqiang was speaking, Ji You quietly counted the number of warriors again, her smile growing even brighter. She said loudly: ”Seniors, you better stand firm, don’t get knocked over by us new waves onto the beach.”

Ye Liqiang: ”...”

This kid, truly cheeky, truly needs a good smack.

Ye Liqiang said: ”The Black Thorn Bee disturbance here has been resolved. We will prepare to return. Kids, do you want to return to Jiao Space Station with us, or return directly to Lanyue Star?”

Ji You looked at Sheng Qingyan and the others, who said, ”It’s up to you.”

Then, Ji You said loudly: ”We will go back with the seniors.”

The group had some injured, some fainted, some disabled... Ji You was afraid that if anything went wrong on the way back to Lanyue Star, it would be terrible. It was better to recuperate both body and mind before returning to Lanyue Star.

Ye Liqiang said gently: ”My suggestion is also to rest before returning.”

Ji You, Shen Changqing... all said in unison: ”We’ll follow the seniors’ arrangement.”

Returning to Jiao Space Station cannot happen immediately. More than half of the warriors led by Ye Liqiang were severely injured and incapacitated, and the rest were also quite hurt.

They fought on the ground, 17 people against more than a hundred Level 4-6 Black Thorn Bees. Each person faced 5 or 6 bees, the pressure and danger were imaginable. Fortunately, the warriors were experienced enough to hold on until the Marshal arrived. If the Marshal had been half an hour late, this team would definitely have faced casualties. If they had confronted the Bee Queen, there might have been a total wipeout.

Fortunately.

Ye Liqiang arranged for all the severely injured to be placed in the repair cabin, while the mildly injured or those with remaining strength went out to clean up the battlefield.

Ji You lay in the repair cabin, slightly mending her internal injuries. Feeling she had the strength to move, she thought for a moment and offered to help Senior Ye Liqiang clean and clear the battlefield.

Ye Liqiang thought for a moment and agreed.

Then.

Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and others all followed Ji You out of the fortress.

Outside the fortress, it was a mess.

Everywhere the eyes could see were large and small craters and some severed limbs of Black Thorn Bees.

Ji You’s eyes lit up at the sight.

Sheng Qingyan saw Ji You’s expression and said disdainfully, ”I don’t pick up trash.”

”...” Ji You scowled and said, ”Does my face say I’m going to pick up trash?”

In the next second.

Ji You shouted, ”Yes, I’m going to pick up trash.”

Sheng Qingyan snorted, ”Well, I don’t pick up trash. Do whatever you want.”

After speaking, Sheng Qingyan voluntarily followed behind Senior Xiao Liu and the others, wanting to work with them. Unexpectedly, Senior Xiao Liu and a few others were using pliers to pry Black Thorn Bee legs from the cracks in the broken walls.

Then.

Senior Xiao Liu turned around, his face lit up with a warm smile: ”Sorry, we’re picking up trash too.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan staggered: ”Are you really just cleaning the battlefield? Nothing else?”

Xiao Liu shook his head: ”No.”

”...” Sheng Qingyan didn’t believe it. He shook his head and said: ”Shouldn’t you be finding out more of the truth? Like why did the Black Thorn Bees suddenly erupt? How did they quietly breed and grow so many Level 4 and 5 without your stationed troops noticing? How did they escape your monitoring?”

”...”

”So many, so many? Isn’t that more interesting and meaningful than picking up trash?” Sheng Qingyan tried hard to stay calm and seriously voiced his concerns.

Xiao Liu smiled: ”These matters have been reported by the Captain and Marshal, and the Marshal already understands the cause of the anomaly. Later, there will be a detailed report to the higher-ups. These aren’t concerns for ordinary warriors like us. We only have to take care of what’s in front of us.”

What’s in front is, of course, picking up trash.

Saying that, Xiao Liu bent down and pried a Black Thorn Bee leg from the brick cracks, then pried a pair of intact wings. Another warrior admired Xiao Liu’s find and said enviously: ”Vice Captain, you are really lucky.”

These materials can not only be traded for credit points, but more importantly, can be exchanged for Legion supplies or even Legion points.

Xiao Liu smiled and stored them in the Space Button. Then, the group continued searching.

Originally, the vast Southern Hemisphere of Bee Head Star was filled with a Black Thorn Bee army, but suddenly not a single one could be found. Marshal He Chuan almost single-handedly wiped out the entire Black Thorn Bee clan on Bee Head Star.

Truly admirable.

Ji You bent down, searching for Black Thorn Bee remnants while observing carefully. She found that these remnants were all left from the battle between Ye Liqiang’s warriors and the Black Thorn Bee swarm. As for those killed by the Lord Marshal, they were truly turned to ashes with a wave of the hand. The scattered ashes on the ground mixed with dirt; if you didn’t know beforehand, you couldn’t even tell they were the corpses of Black Thorn Bees.

Strong.

Truly strong.

Ji You’s heart was still in immense shock. She felt a little dizzy, her world view was shattered, and her previous knowledge needed to be refreshed.

After sweeping the open space outside the fortress, Ji You had decent findings, but they were all remnants, not a single complete piece, leaving Ji You and her companions a bit regretful.

Then——

Ji You suddenly said: ”Guys, listen to me, let’s dig holes together.”

Everyone: ”...”

Ji You said: ”What are you doing standing there? Dig holes to pick up trash.”

Sheng Qingyan huffed, ”You guys go, I’m not going.”

Ji You squinted and said, ”There are many giant Black Thorn Bees me and Jiaojiao killed underground, all intact, and we haven’t had the time to pick them yet. Whoever finds them, keeps them.”

Sheng Qingyan said: ”I’m going, no one is allowed to stop me.”
