Chapter 12 Arrival at Water Blue Star
the next day.
Ji Yaoguang was recuperating in the medical cabin. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind the cabin door.
He went over to open the hatch and found Lu Zhizhi standing barefoot on the ground, holding the rabbit's ears with her little hands, looking up sleepily.
Ji Yaoguang picked her up, and Lu Zhizhi hugged the man's neck with ease, tilting her head on his shoulder.
He obviously enjoyed Lu Zhizhi's dependence on him, and his eyes were filled with tenderness the moment he hugged her.
"Baby is awake? Are you hungry?"
Lu Zhizhi shook her head, blinked at him with big eyes, and raised her hand to release a golden ball of light to help him heal, but Ji Yaoguang quickly held her hand.
"Baby, I'm an ordinary person, and I'm not worthy of you wasting your energy on me."
Ordinary people do not have the keen five senses of a sentinel and will not be subject to mental attacks. Most importantly, he does not want Lu Zhizhi to use too much mental power just after escaping death.
"Yes, treatment."
She could still only use short words to express her meaning, but it was enough.
"I am a great healer."
Lu Zhizhi puffed out her chest proudly.
This action amused Ji Yaoguang, but he immediately remembered her mission as a guide, and looked at her with worry in his eyes.
At Lu Zhizhi's insistence, Ji Yaoguang's injuries that originally required four to five months of rest were healed in ten minutes.
The man held her tightly in his arms and gently smelled the fragrance of her hair.
"Baby, don't be so nice to us, or you will lose your freedom."
Lu Zhizhi didn't understand what he meant and blinked her big confused eyes, but saw Ji Yaoguang gently rubbing his chin against her little head.
"Nothing, I'll feed you."
He taught Lu Zhizhi many words and short sentences over a meal, and also made unexpected discoveries.
"Is this the baby's name?"
He looked at the three characters "Lu Zhizhi" written in Chinese on the paper. Although her hands were small and her grip and small muscles were not yet fully developed, she could already write much better than children of the same age.
Lu Zhizhi nodded, pointed to the words on the paper, and read them out one by one: "Lu. Branch. Branch."
Ji Yaoguang repeated it after her, and the roles were reversed for a while.
"Baby, do you still remember what happened before?"
She grabbed the pen and drew circles on the paper.
Seeing that she didn't want to answer, Gui Yaoguang didn't force her. He played with her for a while and then sent her back to the cub cabin.
A few days later, they successfully arrived at Aquamarine.
Everyone got off the spaceship and immediately felt a dryness in their throats.
Because as far as everyone can see, there is a wasteland, and the past civilization has long been swallowed up by time and sand.
In this wasteland, the ground is covered with cracked soil and scattered stones. Occasionally, you can see some rusty metal fragments that were once part of vehicles or buildings.
"Brother Jun, is this really suitable for a little guide to live here?" Leon looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a little nervous.
Li Chenjun was silent and looked around with squinted eyes.
Their spaceship is now parked next to an abandoned gas station. The fuel pump has long been dismantled and the walls are covered with graffiti and signs of weathering. The convenience store inside the station was empty, with shelves lying on the ground and broken glass and plastic packaging scattered on the ground.
It had obviously been looted.
He said: "But there are people on this planet."
As long as there are people, there is a possibility of survival.
Their spaceship has used up all its fuel and now they have to find a new place to stay.
Suddenly, strong winds in the distance stirred up sand and dust, forming rotating sand pillars, and the wind roared. Lu Zhizhi thought she would no longer have to wear an oxygen mask, but just as she was happy for a second, she accidentally inhaled sand and dust and coughed violently.
The team members gathered around nervously. Ji Yaoguang pulled her hood tighter, patted her back and said: "We must find a habitat as soon as possible."
Aili said: "The first three kilometers is the villa area, we can occupy it."
"Don't take it lightly." After Li Chenjun finished speaking, he loaded the gun.
He made a few quick gestures, and the team members immediately spread out, protecting Lu Zhizhi in the center of the circle. A group of people moved to the villa area quickly and orderly.
Lu Zhizhi soon broke out in sweat under the scorching sun, and her hair stuck to her face. Ji Yaoguang had been holding her, and he quickly noticed her discomfort.
"Baby, hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Li Chenjun turned around when he heard his voice, looked at Lu Zhizhi in his arms, and then took out water and carefully fed it to her.
"God bless, that villa area must be suitable for the little guide to live." Leon muttered in a low voice. With their physical strength, three kilometers is not a problem, but the little guide can't hold on for that long.
Suddenly, Li Chenjun made a silent gesture.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Did you hear that?"
Except for Ji Yaoguang, the other team members calmed down to listen. Ai Li quickly replied: "There are cars coming this way, more than one!"
Li Chenjun didn't need a high-power scope. He could directly aim his gun and see the situation hundreds of miles away.
I saw several modified cars kicking up billows of sand and dust, chasing a girl who was desperately trying to escape.
The carnivores howled loudly on the roof and windows of the car, wild and excited.
The leading vehicle approached the girl, and the Killer Eater in the vehicle hit the roof of the vehicle with the chain in his hand, making a deafening sound, deliberately creating panic.
They grinned, enjoying the panic of their prey. Someone even leaned out of the car window, brandishing a spear, and deliberately drew a dangerous arc beside the girl, almost grazing her shoulder.
The Killer Eater in the other car shouted through a loudspeaker, his voice full of mockery and provocation: "Run, little bitch! How far can you run?"
They laughed with abandon, as if the chase was just a pleasant game.
Li Chenjun saw that the girl was only four or five years older than Lu Zhizhi. She was breathing rapidly and her steps were messy. She didn't dare to look back and moved forward with all her strength.
"Why don't you go? Zhizhi is very hot." Ji Yaoguang and all the team members were waiting for Li Chenjun's decision.
He took away Ji Yaoguang's sniper rifle and said: "You go over first."
Ji Yaoguang frowned, "I don't recommend meddling in other people's business."
Other team members also advised: "Brother Jun, the little guide is more important."
Li Chenjun had already decided and walked quickly in the direction they came from without looking back.
As if she was tired of playing, the girl was stepped into the sand by the shoes of a murderer. She looked angrily at the deformed people in front of her. They were all irradiated humans.
A Killer Eater used a dagger to dig out the girl's eyes. The girl closed her eyes in despair, but suddenly heard a gunshot, and the bullet shot directly through the Killer Eater's temple.
‘Bang, bang, bang——’
Before the Killer Eaters could find out where the shooter was, several people were quickly shot dead within a minute.
The girl sat on the ground blankly, with tears still on her face. She saw a tall figure walking out of the yellow sand.
The man was wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform, with no expression on his handsome face.
She was in tears, her eyes sparkling with hope and throbbing.
"Are you here to save me?"
She smiled excitedly, but the smile froze on her face the next second, and the man ignored her and walked towards the Killer Eater's modified car.
Li Chenjun neatly disassembled the ice machine from the car.
With it, the branches will not be affected by fever.
