"Um!"
Ye Li nodded in agreement.
The sandstorm outside is indeed very strong; there's absolutely no need to take the risk.
So the three of them decided to turn back and return to the scorching furnace.
However, this time they did not venture deep into the innermost part of the cave as they had before.
Instead, they chose to sit down in a relatively safe and spacious spot in the passageway.
...
...
On the highway.
Bai Yuekui, Zhao Lu, and Li Qingge were sitting leisurely inside a motorhome.
A small, exquisite table is placed in the middle, on which sits a gas stove that is burning brightly, with a steaming, fragrant hot pot simmering inside.
Zhao Lu's gaze remained fixed on the scenery outside the car window. Her pretty face was filled with worry and dissatisfaction as she complained incessantly, "It's almost dark, and they still insist on going out. That Ye Li, he's really willing to risk his life for money!"
Hearing this, Li Qingge smiled slightly, picked up a piece of high-quality insect meat from the pot and put it into the bowl in front of Zhao Lu, comforting her, "Ye Li knows what he's doing, there's no need to worry about him."
Bai Yuekui gently picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, nodding in agreement: "Compared to our Blue Star, this world is less than half as dangerous. Ye Li shouldn't encounter too much trouble here."
"Your Blue Star?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Lu put down her chopsticks and looked at Bai Yuekui with interest, asking curiously, "Yuekui, aren't you from Earth?"
Bai Yuekui slowly picked up another vibrant green leaf and put it in his mouth, chewing it gently.
After swallowing, she calmly explained, "Blue Star is the world you were in before you were teleported here."
"Wow..." Zhao Lu stared wide-eyed at Bai Yuekui in disbelief, her mouth agape and her face filled with astonishment: "You really are an alien!"
"......"
Faced with Zhao Lu's surprised reaction, Bai Yuekui simply nodded slightly, then nonchalantly picked up a piece of white, jade-like fish from the steaming pot and put it in his mouth.
This fish fillet comes from the resource box and is of top quality.
Not only are there no fish bones, but the texture is also extremely smooth and tender.
Once the fish slices are in your mouth, you only need to chew them a couple of times before you can swallow them smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, a fresh and delicate fragrance quickly spreads upwards along the throat, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Bai Yuekui recalled the mutated fish he used to raise in the Blue Star Canyon. They tasted sour and were full of bones. Neither their texture nor their flavor could compare to the fish slices in the pot right now.
"For you Earthlings, I guess you could say that!"
Zhao Lu's eyes widened as she continued to ask curiously, "So you used to live alone on Earth?"
Bai Yuekui nodded slightly and responded with a soft "Mm!"
"That's amazing!"
Zhao Lu sighed.
She had only lived on Earth for a short ten days or so, yet she had already deeply felt the terror and danger of that world.
It was not only a desolate place, but also a place teeming with deadly dangers.
And worst of all, there was absolutely no food supply to be found.
However, the girl in front of her, who seemed to be about the same age as her, was able to survive alone in such a harsh environment. The hardships she had gone through were unimaginable.
Zhao Lu couldn't help but think to herself that if she were in that situation, she probably wouldn't even have the courage to resist those ferocious soul-devouring beasts.
Not to mention that being alone for a long time without anyone to talk to, that loneliness might have driven her to a mental breakdown long ago.
Bai Yuekui didn't say much after hearing Zhao Lu's praise. In fact, she also felt that she was indeed very remarkable.
The three sat around a steaming hot pot, thoroughly enjoying the satisfaction brought by the delicious food.
