(Two in one) “God’s hand tears apart the darkness. The rain falls, the fine sand under your feet turns into hard cement, and the oasis is within reach…”
…
“Forget it, let’s recall it and let it go to the follower slot to heal.” Lu Liran said to the system.
The system responded, then they saw that sentry wolf suddenly turned its head and hid in the darkness, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye. On the other hand, Lu Liran saw the miniature version of Big Wolf on the system display. It was staying in a dilapidated wooden fence, as small as a cub, curled up in a small ball to rest.
Seeing this, Ke Ji looked at Lu Liran with a little doubt. It seemed that the sentry wolf always ran away as soon as it saw Lu Liran. Was it scared of being beaten? But why did it always persevere in catching up?
Lu Liran pretended not to know, and said to Ke Ji: “It run away, it probably won’t come again.”
Ke Ji took a look at Lu Liran. According to Lu Liran’s prudence and caution, it was impossible to just let a wilderness wolf approach and leave the camp just like this, and pretend nothing happened.
Unless Lu Liran confirmed that this sentry wolf could not possibly pose a threat to them.
“You have a spiritual relationship with it?” Ke Ji vaguely guessed something, and asked in a low voice.
In the interstellar era, some soldiers will choose to form a spiritual contract with the interstellar beast, taking the interstellar beast as their own battle mount and companion, this is like contracting a mecha, with only different choices.
But very few people would sign a contract with a purely wild interstellar beast. A purely wild interstellar beast usually has an extremely ferocious temperament and is extremely difficult to tame. If the contract fails, it will cause certain damage to the mental power.
But at the same time, pure wild interstellar beasts are more aggressive, possess stronger combat power, are born with acuity and vigilance, and are honed to survive in extreme environments. It’s incomparable to the interstellar beasts provided in the beast shelter.
Each soldier can only bond with one interstellar beast or one mecha. This is due to the appraisal of the mental power, otherwise it’s very easy to cause the companion to get out of control and hurt the master.
Lu Liran didn’t refute when he heard his words. In his eyes, there is not much difference between a follower slot and an interstellar beast.
“En, it’s not a threat anymore, anyway. Rest.” He said.
Hearing what Lu Liran said, Ke Ji stopped asking further questions and nodded slightly.
He casually added some dead branches to the campfire, and the two returned to the hut.
After resting for three or four hours, the sky finally began to brighten.
When the first ray of light penetrated the clouds and opened a bright hole, the rest of the light tore apart the surroundings with teeth and claws, bringing light back to the earth with amazing speed.
It was around five or six o’clock in the morning, and the sky was already fully lit.
The people from the merchant fleet climbed out one after another, and Xian Dan started to count the number of people again, and was relieved that none of them was missing.
Qin Qi came to Lu Liran and Ke Ji with a medical kit in his arms, and wanted to change their medicines.
Seeing that the gauze on Ke Ji’s body had been replaced with a new one, he couldn’t help blinking, looking at Lu Liran and then at Ke Ji.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Neither of them had any intention of explaining, so he had to suppress his curiosity and change it again.

“It is a special healing medicine specially prepared for wounded soldiers on the front line of the battlefield. Even if you’re pierced by a laser, it can still be used to stop the bleeding. Of course it’s not a problem to deal with a small superficial injury.” Lu Liran said, attributing all his recovery speed to the medicine.
Qin Qi “Yi” when heard his words: “It’s actually a medicine from the front line?! Then why is this kind of munitions medicine in the sunken ship?”
After he finished speaking, he came back to his senses and let out a “hiss”: “That can’t be an interstellar battleship, can it?”
Lu Liran glanced at him, but did not respond.
Qin Qi felt that this was an acquiescence, and couldn’t help but took a louder breath——
An interstellar battleship crashed into their Desolate Star! This is big news!
Fortunately, this ship crashed in Salba, if it crashed somewhere else and was discovered, according to the unwritten law of the Desolate Star, the soldiers in the battleship would definitely be dragged out for public display.
Qin Qi immediately thought again, no wonder there was only one death toll reported in the Salba search and rescue a few years ago, and the body was not even dealt with. Now that he thinks about the appearance of the sunken ship, the timeline is almost aligned. Most probably those soldiers who crashed, and it is estimated that their bodies were also disposed of privately.
Desolate Star’s dislike for the Interstellar War Army can be described as mobs in general.
Especially the two extreme groups of Desolate Star; one group is the top of the pyramid of Desolate Star, and the other group lives at the bottom. The people at the bottom of Desolate Star feel that their days were brought about by the war, while the people at the top of the pyramid feel that the war has hindered their development.
Qin Qi also heard from the captain that the family heirs of several top merchants and rich men in the Desolate Star died on the battlefield. It seems to be a task assigned by the commander, but someone made a mistake during the execution, resulting in heavy casualties, so they especially hated the war army and the commander.
Qin Qi didn’t feel much about the war army and the commander. After all, the war had lasted for nearly ten years, and it didn’t stop until recently, so he had already become numb to it.
And those things about life and death are far away from him, but living in the Desolate Star, he was more or less influenced by those rhetoric. It was more or less unimaginable and unexpected to find out at first that they had actually been in an interstellar ship.
“But don’t say that we have entered the battleship, let alone that we brought back supplies from the battleship, otherwise we will definitely be punished when we go back.” Qin Qi whispered to Lu Liran.
“The Xian family Merchant Fleet also has prejudice against the interstellar war army and His Excellency Commander?” Lu Liran narrowed his eyes and his face darkened.
Qin Qi sensitively noticed that Lu Liran’s attitude had cooled down, and quickly waved his hands: “Our merchant fleet is different. The commander actually rescued one of our merchant ships…but then again, the general environment in Desolate Star is like this, we can only keep a low profile.”
Lu Liran’s face softened slightly after hearing his words.
He snorted coldly: “General environment? It’s just a group of poor people huddled together to keep warm, so how could they control the agitation of the Desolate Star with such ease?”
“They have money.” Qin Qi coughed lightly.
Although the Xian family is also quite wealthy, it is not enough compared to those few families. Those few families are about to squeeze into the top 100 richest families in the A69 galaxy.
——Although they haven’t squeezed in yet, it’s coming soon, and the level of their wealth is incomparable.
Lu Liran “heh” coldly.
What’s wrong with being rich, who is not the heir of a rich family anymore.
Ke Ji walked over and heard the conversation between Qin Qi and Lu Liran. He smiled casually and said: “Stimulating emotions is the simplest thing, having money or not is just icing on the cake.”
Both Qin Qi and Lu Liran looked over.
Seeing Lu Liran’s dark face, Ke Ji felt a little helpless. He raised his hand and stroked the back of the man’s neck gently. Lu Liran didn’t react for a while, and didn’t think of avoiding it either.
Then he heard Ke Ji go on to say: “The residents of Desolate Star were shrouded in fear because the Zerg once invaded here, and they have suffered from the war. They were driven to the extreme, and they were also scared to the extreme. At that time, as long as one person comes out and says that he has a way out and a solution, the people will easily follow him, even if he does nothing but keep using words to confuse them, that is enough.”
“His Excellency the Commander and the interstellar army repelled the Zerg invasion here, but they didn’t seem to see it.” Lu Liran said coldly.
Qin Qi pursed his lips and said in a low voice: “They saw it, but they didn’t see enough. I don’t think His Excellency the Commander thought at that time that people were so easily instigated, let alone that the planet he saved turned him into a scourge in the end.”
Ke Ji looked at Qin Qi, he was a little surprised, but in fact this was not important to him anymore. He smiled and said: “I think all that commander wanted to do was to settle everything down. As for the rest, if the Commander makes the planet fearful or angry, it doesn’t matter if he never sets foot on it again.”
Qin Qi blinked: “Is that so? Doesn’t he feel aggrieved?”
Lu Liran snorted again, he doesn’t know whether the commander is aggrieved or not, but he is very dissatisfied anyway.
“But those few families are justifiably targeting the war army and the commander.” Qin Qi said to Lu Liran.
He can see that Mr. Lu is very supportive of the commander’s faction, but in the Desolate Star, it’s easy to be targeted and excluded, so he couldn’t help persuading.
“Justifiable? It’s nothing more than the murder of the heirs of those few families.” Lu Liran pulled his lips.
He said coldly: “Why don’t you find a few survivors who participated in that mission and ask about the situation at that time. The families of the dozens of soldiers who were implicated and died in the line of duty did not settle accounts with them. They even dare to shift the responsibility to His Excellency the Commander.”
He was in that mission, which was originally a simple ambush mission, but was exposed early because of a coward who dared not even shoot.
The experimental weapon carried by the mission target was turned on, and a man-made black hole appeared on the starship out of thin air, sweeping away everything almost instantly, dozens of soldiers were swallowed by the black hole before they even had time to react.
Lu Liran and the remaining four soldiers escaped by chance, but they all suffered from black hole radiation damage to varying degrees.
Lu Liran’s pheromones are unstable and his estrus period is uncertain. A large reason for this was the black hole radiation, coupled with the subsequent long-term pheromone injection, which exacerbated this situation.
Qin Qi wanted to ask further, but saw his captain striding towards this side, so he suppressed his curiosity.
“Morning, Mr. Lu, how is your injury?” Xian Dan greeted with a smile. Last night’s rest was good. When he woke up this morning, he found that the condition of the three team members with corneal burns had also improved, so he couldn’t help but feel more comfortable.
However, he found that Mr. Lu seemed to be in a bad mood.
With some doubts, he put away his smile for a while, then turned to Qin Qi, and signaled him with raised eyebrows.
Qin Qi touched his nose, pretending not to understand.
“His injury is fine.” Ke Ji replied for Lu Liran.
Xian Dan nodded: “That’s good.”
“By the way, when are we going to leave?” He looked at Lu Liran and asked.
Lu Liran vented his anger, he snorted coldly, and said firmly: “Let’s go now.”
Xian Dan was at a loss, although he didn’t understand why Mr. Lu was dissatisfied, he knew that he just needed to be nice and quiet at this time.
“Before setting off, let’s confirm the position.”
Lu Liran released the drone and started the live broadcast at the same time.
[Wow!! I squatted!! Brother Lu, look at this familiar front row!!—— Ling-Lingzi gifted the anchor 1x sushi]
[Good morning, Brother Lu! Also look at this familiar old fan (rolling and showing cuteness) —— Waitingforthewindonthecloud gifted the anchor 1x Sushi]
After the live broadcast room opened, thousands of viewers flooded in and greeted enthusiastically.
Lu Liran said: “Hello everyone, I am Lu Liran, a wilderness survival expert.”
He pointed to the slope where they camped last night: “Everyone saw the slope where we camped. This slope is very high, and it is the highest point in the surrounding kilometers by visual inspection.”
“After the hasty trip last night, before setting off today, I have to climb up to the top of the slope to confirm our current location.” Lu Liran said.
He took the lead and walked in the front, sensitively aware that the slope under his feet seemed to be different.
Although the slope was higher than last time, it was much easier to climb. The sand under his feet was more solid, as if he was stepping on solid ground.
He has been in Salba for so long, and he has never walked through such a sandy slope.
Xian Dan and several members of the merchant fleet exchanged glances, and someone whispered: “God’s hand tore apart the darkness. The rain falls, the fine sand under your feet turns into hard cement, and the oasis is within reach…”
That is the legend about the oasis in the Salba Desert.
Sunnyshies: I don’t know why, I feel cringed every time Lu Liran says “His Excellency the Commander”….
We manage to get a glimpse of the politics and government of Desolate Star, but the author will not really dwell into it. Well, it’s not Lu Liran’s job, but Ke Ji’s.
Anyway, we’re reaching the oasis!!
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
Yeah, that does sound… strange lol But what to do with a fanboy? :’D
QQ was too distracted to see the intimate scene of KJ stroking LLR’s neck. Good thing that the stream wasn’t online at that time lol
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
When they’re acting as omega/alpha but can’t hide their original gender. And I whoop—
Thanks for the update!
It always make me giggle when they fail to hide it. It was so cute when Ke Ji started stroking Lu’s neck 🤭🩷
I couldn’t agree more! I also specially love that scene!! 😍😍😍
I know right it was so cute and I’m still waiting to be fed some more dog food since my single dog stomach has no bottom (it is literally endless!!!) Also I definitely love how Ke Meiran’s persona is breaking up 😂
Just a bunch of rich guys cries for not getting more money. Why they don’t submit to those zeng guys? Ahh i hate incompetent and ungrateful idiots.
wahhh the oasis gotta be the big face reveal!!! Excited to finally see Ke Ji confirm his theory completely by adding 1 more percent! (Implying that he’s already 99% sure Lu-Ge is his Lu Liran)
