Her hands, growing colder, gripped Gu Li tightly. Her survival instinct kept her from making a sound, but outside the door stood her captain, with whom she had shared life and death for years.

Gu Li, who had been intently staring at the tail of the corpse snake, suddenly turned his gaze back to her, where he saw a pained face.

She was stunned.

Ning Jia suddenly rushed out, but after a few steps, she remembered something and looked at Gu Li with hopeful eyes: "Can your props save the captain!"

We can pay you!

Regardless of its type or origin, the so-called prop must be a missionary-level item since it has survived the attacks of the corpse snake!

She must be the daughter of a prominent family within the Federal Central Safe Zone to possess such valuable items for self-defense.

If... if she would help...

Gu Li blinked. This was the third time she had heard this sentence since she came out of the alien city.

Somewhat amazed, just as Lancer said, the outside world is full of temptations.

She thought for a moment, shook her head and refused the payment, then walked lightly out in Ning Jia's disappointed and gloomy gaze.

While passing through Ningjia, he suddenly said, "Forget about the money, could you please do your part in the construction of my home?"

Ning Jia's desperate gaze paused.

Gu Li scratched his head and suddenly felt that he was taking advantage of the situation. Although the people from the alien city looked like bad people, they were actually innocent and good people!

Eric and the others: ...?

She sighed, a fleeting glint of starlight flashed across her wrist, followed by a creaking sound from the electronic shackles.

"We can discuss the cooperative construction later; for now, you must keep this a secret for me."

Ning Jia understood her last sentence, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said urgently, "Don't worry, I'll keep everything I see to myself!"

Gu Li turned around, the light gray coat of her dress billowing behind her, her slender hands gradually extending, silver scales spreading from her fingertips and disappearing into her sleeves.

Ning Jia looked at her slender back and suddenly felt uneasy.

"Why don't you teach me how to use it, and I'll go!"

Gu Li looked at Xu Feihe, who was being coiled up by the corpse snake, and shook his head. The obsidian headband behind his head flashed with a mysterious and dangerous light.
