“His safety is my responsibility.”
…
Xian Dan really didn’t expect that Lu Liran would directly eat bugs raw. The impact of seeing it with your own eyes at close range was much stronger than that of being separated from the live broadcast room.
He even saw the fat-tailed scorpion’s pincer claws moving and twitching because of nerve reflex.
Really hardcore.
Lu Liran looked at Xian Dan, and pulled the corner of his mouth, and smiled ironically: “How much nutritional supplement do you have left?”
Xian Dan paused, before they set off, they had counted once, and the amount left was probably only enough for them to eat for a meal.
“These things that don’t look like food are likely to be the only supplies you can find in the next two days.” Lu Liran said, “So I suggest you get used to it and make more mental preparations.”
Xian Dan knew that what Lu Liran said was right, but when he thought of those lively poisonous scorpions and poisonous insects being chewed into his stomach, he couldn’t help but feel a little bit nervous.
After Lu Liran finished speaking, he continued to walk forward. Their destination was the leeward slope of a sand dune ahead. There was a big tree rooted on the leeward slope, which looked like an open giant umbrella from a distance.
There was no need for Lu Liran to explain specifically, the merchant fleet also knew that this was where they would spend their lunch break, so they rushed there with all their might.
It was only when they got closer that they recognized the umbrella-shaped tree was a jujube tree. The tree was not tall at all, and there were jujubes hanging on the branches, bearing down in heavy bunches.
The people from the merchant fleet hugged the main tree trunk and jumped up a few times. Their action was a little funny and not very elegant at all, but they climbed up the jujube tree anyway.
Two of them knocked down all the jujubes on the tree, and the rest happily picked up the jujubes all over the ground.
“Ah pei, it’s sour and astringent.” A team member, who couldn’t wait to stuff one into his mouth, and his face suddenly wrinkled into a bun.
Seeing this, Lu Liran laughed: “This is a desert jujube. It doesn’t have much water, and its taste is indeed not very good, but it contains vitamin C and minerals, which are what the human body needs to supplement. Minerals can replenish the salt lost by sweating. Even if it is not delicious, you have to let yourself swallow it.”
The merchant fleet harvested a lot of desert jujubes. Hearing what Lu Liran said, they immediately got a bunch of them.
The shape of the desert jujubes was round, like a small ball, so Lu Liran picked up three or four of them and took a knife to peel off the outer layer of jujube skin: “A little trick, peeling can greatly reduce the bitter taste.”
He threw the peeled jujubes into his mouth, and the astringent and sour taste stimulated the secretion of saliva from his mouth. He narrowed his eyes slightly, leaning against the tree trunk to enjoy the shade, looking extremely comfortable.
Ke Ji walked slowly to his side, also leaning against the tree trunk.
A few seconds later, a peeled white jujube was handed over from the side.
“Eat something.” Lu Liran said.
[Ah, Brother Lu is promising! Really know to be considerate!]
[I declare that this is the first real gift from Brother Lu to Beauty! Everything else doesn’t count (I don’t care)]
[Brother Lu said that you people don’t understand. At the critical moment of survival, he’s still willing to share half of the bug to eat, that is the real romance, right]

“I don’t know, but I feel okay now.” Ke Ji smiled at Lu Liran, although he still looked a little sick, his steel-blue eyes shone brighter against his bloodless thin lips, and his whole body was surrounded by an indescribable sense of fragility.
Lu Liran expressed that this answer was not really credible at all.
He said: “Why don’t you go with the merchant fleet. The road after them should be much better, and the danger would be greatly reduced, anyway, your purpose of entering the desert…”
As he spoke, the conversation stopped abruptly, his eyes flickered and he did not continue.
Ke Ji took over the conversation in a warm voice, he smiled at the man comfortingly. His eyes were steady and firm, and he looked at Lu Liran as if he meant something: “I’m fine, I know. And I have to keep going, I think I can find him.”
Lu Liran choked, still stubbornly thought that he could find that person?
He let out a “tsk”, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had nothing to say, and what could be said was gently blocked by the other party.
“Mr. Lu! Come and see! An airship suddenly appeared over there! It doesn’t look like a mirage!” Someone in the merchant fleet happened to shout loudly and called Lu Liran excitedly.
Airship?
Lu Liran was a little puzzled, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky. The dazzling sunlight in the sky made him dizzy, except for the blue sky, white clouds and the big sun, even a bird would not fly over here.
“Not in the sky!” Someone in the merchant fleet shouted.
“In the sand!”
Lu Liran was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he walked quickly to the merchant fleet.
When Ke Ji saw this, it was unknown what came to his mind, and followed in stride.
On the other side of the sand dunes, a huge silver ship was stuck slanted in the sand. The surface of the ship was extremely mottled by the sand and gravel, and it has this weathered and worn look. It was unknown how long it had been exposed to the wind and sun here.
“Did it just appear here?” Lu Liran asked the team members around him.
“Just now?” The team members were at a loss for a second, then laughed, thinking that Lu Liran was joking with them, “This looks like it fell here for an unknown period of time, how can it grow its own feet to drill itself out, ah. As soon as I climbed up to see the situation in the distance, I saw it.”
Lu Liran paused when he heard his words, he looked at the damaged ship, even if only a fifth of the silver hull was exposed, he could still recognize that it was the escape ship that carried them to make an emergency landing in Salba.
It’s just that they were forced to land in the southeast of Salba back then, but now, it was in a location completely different from the original force landing point.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for this ship to appear here.
Unless there is another possibility, a quicksand belt.
The quicksand belt is like ocean currents, but it is more unpredictable than ocean currents. Its appearance and disappearance have no rules to follow. The only thing that is certain is that where it occurs, there must be water, either surface water or underground rivers.
Lu Liran guessed that in the past few years, their escape ship must have been wrapped in quicksand and finally moved to this area, as if it was destined to meet him again.
Since the ship did not suddenly appear here, it was very likely that the quicksand belt that brought it here had disappeared, leaving it buried deep under the desert.
Although this is just his guess, Lu Liran still decided to take the risk of quicksand to find out—— This kind of product left by human beings is a rare treasure in the desert, and it is very likely that there will be supplies they need in it.
[?? There is an abandoned airship?! This is too scripted!]
[This comment, I also think so]
[I came here to see the anchor survive, how dare you break into Salba with only a canteen, a backpack and a dagger? This is the result? The traces of the group are too obvious!]
[God, I’m so annoyed by some people who just opened their mouths when they think they find evidence of acting. After watching a few minutes later, I dare you to beep and beep again, who would give me a face??—— The Pot gifted the anchor 1x sushi]
[Tsk, Brother Lu’s live broadcast room also has a lot of bullshit, is it because of the rhythm of fire?]
[There are several sightseeing airships in Salba that have accidents every year, so what’s wrong with bumping into one? It’s not like it’s not possible!]
A fight broke out in the live broadcast room because of the discovery of the escape ship. Neither the old fans nor the newcomers bought it, and the quarrel was equally matched. Lu Liran didn’t know about it, and didn’t even bother to pay attention to the live broadcast room.
He said his plan, and Xian Dan immediately expressed his willingness to go and have a look together.
Lu Liran had no objection, but only warned the other party of the possible danger.
The drone moved from the distant view to the close view, and flew in front of Lu Liran. Lu Liran said: “Entering the sedimentary ruins in the desert is very dangerous. First of all, these sedimentary ruins are likely to be brought near by quicksand, which means that there is very likely a quicksand belt around there.”
“Secondly, the structure of sedimentary ruins will inevitably become very fragile due to long-term wind and sand grinding and various external environmental factors. The most likely dire consequence of entering it is to cause sand avalanches.”
“As the name suggests, a sand avalanche is very similar to an avalanche. The biggest difference is that an avalanche hits from above and below, while a sand avalanche comes from all directions. The bottom is like a bottomless vortex, and the surrounding sand sinks rapidly like a spiral shaft. ”
Lu Liran said with a more serious face, not only for the live broadcast, but also to warn those in the merchant fleet who are eager to try.
“It’s completely different from quicksand. Quicksand is silent, and its power doesn’t appear until it reaches the center, but sand avalanches happen in an instant, almost without any warning.”
Lu Liran’s words were like a basin of cold water, which made a group of people calm down.
[Hehe, the person who called out to catch the acting, which stupid group would set their own anchor into such a dangerous prop scene?]
[Brother Lu is really a honeydew that attracts a lot of these people who claim it’s scripted with their eyes closed. They were there when this was first aired, and they were slapped on the face]
[I’m heartbroken, my Brother Lu is already getting bullied before getting popular. If there is a big fire in the future, the barrage will be full of smog…]
[No matter how many living ETC there are, there are not as many Brother Lu’s fans. The big deal is to crowdfund and use the Buddha jumping over the wall to cover it, hmph]
[No need for crowdfunding—— SaltedFish YuYu gifted the anchor 1x Buddhe jumping over the wall]
[—— SaltedFish YuYu gifted the anchor 1x Buddha jumping over the wall]
[—— SaltedFish YuYu gifted the anchor 1x Buddha jumping over the wall]
[Is that what you mean?—— SaltedFish YuYu gifted the anchor 1x Buddha jumping over the wall]
[Silence, I forgot that the anchor has a rich fan]
[Everyone is in a crooked way, the anchor is going to download a new dungeon!! What are you discussing here!! —— ThePlotGerm gifted the anchor 1x Buddha jumping over the wall]
[Ahhhhh, I almost forgot!! Go, Brother Lu!! What is it called? Desert sedimentary ruins instance start?]
[Be more rigorous, the ruins of the desert airship instance√ —— TheFliesSwallow gifted the anchor 1x White Truffle]
After Lu Liran reminded Xian Dan, he gave the other party some time to make a decision. He then turned to Ke Ji, hoping that the other party would stay obediently on the sandy slope and wait for him to come back.
“I’ll go with you.” But before Lu Liran could say anything, Ke Ji spoke first.
Lu Liran frowned: “Impossible. You can’t come this time no matter what.”
It’s too dangerous, not to mention Ke Ji’s situation is still unknown, he will never allow the other party to follow.
“I must go.”
Lu Liran gave a hard “tsk”, then he raised his head and looked at Ke Ji impatiently, but he saw those steel-blue eyes without any precautions, just at that moment, at that moment, he was like falling into the bottomless deep sea.
“…do you really have to go? Well then…” Lu Liran murmured.
Ke Ji’s face paled a lot, he raised his hand and gently smoothed the fallen hair of the other party, a trace of apology and tolerance flashed in his eyes.
[Hiss, really, you Beauty!!! Use your hands and feet!!]
[Ah, Brother Lu didn’t refuse!!]
[Brother Lu who was stroked suddenly became so obedient. Wuwu, suddenly become mommy’s good boy]
Xian Dan finally made a decision, and Xian Dan went to the other two team members.
One of them was the squad leader of the original team, who is very strong in all aspects of physical fitness, and the other was only a team member in the team, who was a member with a professional medicine background. Xian Dan thought that if any medicine was found in the ship, it could be identified by the other party.
Because the terminal is unavailable, everyone can search and bring back limited items, and they must be taken away according to priority.
“Then let’s go.” Lu Liran said.
“Eh? Mr. Ke is going too?” Xian Dan looked at Ke Ji in surprise, and asked worriedly, “It’s so dangerous over there, isn’t it inappropriate for Mr. Ke to go?”
“I’m responsible for his safety, you take care of your own people.” Lu Liran said coldly.
Xian Dan touched the tip of his nose, excuse me, he is being nosy.
Sunnyshies: Thank you Kofi Supporter for Kofi~! (★≧▽^))★☆
Ohhh surprise field dungeon! Time to go spelunking!
Tbh, my biggest curiosity now is, will they manage to bend the other before their true identities are revealed or not? They’re both acting hella gay. Ke Ji to someone he thinks is an alpha and Lu Liran to someone he thinks is an omega, I’ll laugh if they end up bi only to find out they’re still straight hahaha
Well at this point it’s anyway been implied Ke Ji figured Lu Liran out, so its more like is Lu Liran gonna bend before finding out who Ke Ji is 😂
I’m worried about them going to the ship – not LLR or Ke Ji, but the merchant fleet people since they’re basically cannon fodder in this story. 😬
Thanks for the chapter!~
I agree. Also thanks for the chapter
This will likely open wounds for both KJ and LL as it’s the original lost ship… Thanks for the update ❤️
»Why are you like that suddenly last night?« Why were
»A airship suddenly appeared over there!« An airship
»I can here to see the anchor survive..« I came here
»Lu Liran didn’t know about it, and he didn’t know about it, and didn’t even bother to..« Is that correct? That second “didn’t know about it” confuses me.
».. and they’re faces were slapped in the face« and they were slapped in the face (?)
».. he could be identified by the other party.« it could be
».. isn’t it appropriate for Mr. Ke to go?« inappropriate
Will those merchants be able to survive after LLR’s party left them? :’D
And uh oh, hopefully that airship won’t bring back too many bad memories. And I don’t want those live stream viewers see LLR (maybe) collapse or smth like that. That’s a too private matter.
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
thanks!!
Did KJ just mind whammy LL?
Yes! That’s what I thought as well! That part was very odd
Sunnyshies, there’s a typo.
“Mr. Lu! Come and see! A airship…” It should be “Mr. Lu, come and see! An airship…”
You take care of your own people, I’ll take care of MY own people😆 from Lu Liran in my head
