The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1634: Chapter 1634

Old Yellow Bull is very angry.

But, Old Yellow Bull is also helpless.

Since it can’t deal with this group of little bugs for now, it might as well give up.

Thus, Old Yellow Bull continues to sleep with one head while keeping the other on alert.

...

Time quietly slips away since danger lurks around every corner, and everyone can’t sleep for an entire day and night. About an hour later, while others are still asleep, Ji You gets up. She turns over, stands on the bull’s back, walks to Senior He Bi’s opposite, sits down, and says: ”Senior, let me take over the watch.”

He Bi raises an eyebrow, glancing at her.

After a few seconds of silence, He Bi says nothing, nor does he refuse, directly lying down on the spot, hands under his head, and closing his eyes.

Ji You keeps an eye on the surroundings. After exiting the space channel, they are already situated within the space rift, yet the surroundings still resemble the outside starry sky. This slightly disappoints Ji You; she expected something different inside the space rift...

This slight disappointment is kept in Ji You’s heart, and she doesn’t voice it.

Old Yellow Bull quietly floats among the stars without moving, and Senior He Bi seems to have fallen into deep sleep, along with Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, and those aboard the spaceship like Shen Changqing—all with closed eyes in sleep... Ji You’s spiritual network continuously extends around...

meter, 2 meters, 3 meters...

When reaching about 2 kilometers, Ji You’s Spiritual Silk Network can no longer extend, so she meticulously observes the surrounding situation.

If there’s anything truly outstanding here, it’s the silence, so quiet it feels like their group is the only ones in the universe.

With Old Yellow Bull helping keep watch, even though confirming there’s no danger around, Ji You dares not relax even a bit.

The frog egg monster and other miscellaneous monsters have already refreshed Ji You’s definition of ’danger’.

She won’t allow their group to genuinely rely on Old Yellow Bull.

...

Time passes little by little, Ji You sits on the bull’s back, holding a Particle Energy Gun, quietly waiting. Half an hour later, Chu Jiaojiao wakes up, moves beside Ji You, and says: ”You close your eyes and sleep for a while, I’ll take the watch.”

Ji You nods.

Having fought side by side for so long, never are there fake pleasantries, nor mutual suspicion, only brand new trust.

Ji You has every confidence in Chu Jiaojiao, so she closes her eyes and sleeps.

After Chu Jiaojiao, it’s Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Liu Fufeng, He Bi, and finally Sheng Qingyan. Sheng Qingyan is the last to open his eyes, yawns, and says: ”I still feel sleep-deprived, really... I’ve already regretted it. Why did I follow you into the space rift to join the fun?”

No one responds to Sheng Qingyan’s idle chatter.

He Bi looks at Ji You and others, asking: ”Have you all slept well?”

Everyone nods.

He Bi turns to Ji You, asking: ”Has the bull slept enough?”

Ji You shakes her head, saying: ”It’s still asleep.”

However, the eyes on the head that isn’t sleeping are all staring at their group, watching intensely, as if fearing their broken bowls and pots might be stolen by others.

He Bi thinks for a moment, saying: ”Since it’s still asleep, it indicates there’s no danger for now. Let’s eat first.”

Upon this suggestion, everyone realizes that since approaching the space rift, they haven’t eaten anything.

Food?

What’s that?

Totally couldn’t care less about eating! Their lives are at stake, who cares about eating?

With Senior He Bi’s mention, everyone suddenly feels a rumbling hunger, Chu Jiaojiao clutches her stomach, saying: ”I feel like I could eat an entire bull.”

Old Yellow Bull: ”...”

Ji You replies: ”An entire bull seems excessive, half might do for me.”

Yue Qiguang says: ”Dad, one isn’t enough. At least three to start.”

Old Yellow Bull: ”...”

Did the bull provoke you?

Because Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao are both on the bull’s back, they can’t make a fire or cook, so Ji You doesn’t bother with any tricks. She pulls out a bucket of instant noodles from the Space Button and conveniently cracks an egg for herself, then starts a fire.

Sizzle~

Sizzle~

Sizzle~

The instant noodle bucket has a built-in heating device, extremely convenient for outdoor survival, though compared to nutrient solution, the process and steps from cooking to consuming instant noodles are somewhat cumbersome. Thus, aside from Ji You, nobody else has prepared it.

He Bi didn’t think much when seeing Ji You pull out an instant noodle bucket.

What’s so good about instant noodle buckets?

They’re mostly cheap and of low nutritional value, not as good as nutrient solutions.

Then.

In He Bi’s dismissiveness, Ji You takes out a piece of meat, fried until golden and crispy, and puts it into the instant noodle bucket.

He Bi’s expression becomes slightly unnatural.

In the next second, Ji You pulls out a pig’s trotter, stewed for several hours, looking tender and delicious.

He Bi’s mouth twitches.

In the next moment, Ji You pulls out some salt and pepper shrimps and a few vegetables, placing them into the instant noodle bucket. Once all the dishes are added, the plain instant noodles suddenly become extremely rich, making He Bi’s mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Finally, Ji You sprinkles some scallions, and a sumptuous feast is freshly prepared.

Then, Ji You begins to eat.

He Bi looks at the nutrient solution in his hand, tosses it aside, stretches his hand towards Ji You, and says: ”Share with those present.”

Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan’s movements are not slow at all; they all reach for Ji You’s instant noodle bucket.

Ji You can’t stop them, so she simply lets them snatch away.

Then.

Everyone devours the food, finishing quickly. After eating, the tip of Old Yellow Bull’s tail twitches once, Ji You and He Bi carefully confirm, finding Old Yellow Bull still relaxedly sleeping.

So, is there still no danger around?

Ji You and He Bi exchange glances, then simultaneously turn to Old Yellow Bull’s awake head, noticing that it’s just turning its head to look at Ji You and He Bi.

Ji You smiles slightly, saying: ”Old Bull, are you awake? If you don’t wake up, we’re going to slaughter a High-level Star Beast right here.”

Old Yellow Bull’s tail tip shakes.

”Moo—”

[Annoying.]

Ji You’s expression remains full of smiles, not at all annoyed, saying: ”You probably need a few people to help with your wounds?”

Old Yellow Bull: ”?!!!”

Ji You laughs: ”We promised to treat you, so of course we won’t be careless. Old Bull, get ready; here we come.”

Having said that.

Everyone gets to work. This time, there’s no need to urge; everyone treats the wounds very carefully. Every inch of injured skin on Old Yellow Bull is cared for; they can’t help with internal injuries, but all external wounds are repaired, making Old Yellow Bull feel moved for a moment!

What happened?

Have these little bugs changed for the better?
