They're probably used to this kind of thing.
Soon, the spaceship came to a stop in front of a planet that was a mixture of crimson and pitch black.
Lu Yulan said she had never seen such a dilapidated planet before. It looked like a toy that had been broken by a child, with the paint peeling off its shiny outer shell to reveal a broken core.
Xiao Wu stepped out of the cockpit and approached Lu Yulan and the others.
He performed a rather imperfect gentleman's bow.
"Welcome to our planet. I've named it Rainbow Candy."
"A very nice name."
Although the rainbow here is the color of minerals, the red of blood, and the black of corpse ashes.
Xiao Wu smiled again, unable to describe the feeling—whether it was watching a joke or mocking himself.
"Let's go down."
"Where's the commander? Should we just leave him be?"
Xiao Wu glanced at the deepest part of the spaceship, this time his eyes showed a more obvious fluctuation, with a hint of disappointment.
"No need, he won't come out."
Even though the skeleton had said a lot that night, Lu Yulan thought that this planet, which had disappeared from history, and the people here, had their own secrets.
It's best if she doesn't try to pry into things.
Some people leave their scars on the surface, and when someone sees them, they might say, half-jokingly, "Hey, look at my scar, it hurt so much back then."
Some people hide their wounds deep inside, covering them up layer by layer, just hoping to appear as a human being.
"Let's go. We can get Lan's fried chicken today. It's a really nice gift."
Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed as he laughed, but Lu Yulan knew it was a perfunctory laugh that didn't even move his skin.
"If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. Who said I won't come out?"
"Walk."
"Let me show Miss Lan my spoils."
The skeleton emerged from the deepest part, dressed in gray clothes, and sported a long beard.
"Thanks."
Although Lu Yulan didn't want to visit, every place here was a reminder of the humiliation of their defeat and their nightmares. How much mental torment must they have endured to be able to casually say that these were their spoils of war?
Stepping onto this land, the thick layer of black ash billows up with every step, likely because the soil has lost its ability to weather and absorb. Here, one can also see the corpses of many large insects and beasts.
The entire site was as quiet as a tomb. Perhaps the description was too gruesome, but Lu Yulan subconsciously felt that this place... As she slowly walked in, she began to see some haphazardly erected tents, or even holes dug directly from the middle of the hill.
Further in, you'll find a haphazardly constructed building, so haphazardly designed that it looks like it could collapse at any moment if a gust of wind blew by.
...
The wind really came, swirling up black sand, and then... the house collapsed.
The bald man paused for a moment, then said, "My house."
Xiao Wu burst into laughter, "I told you long ago, you wanted to live in a cave with me, but you insisted on living here."
To be able to find joy even in hardship like this, I wonder if they are just too cheerful.
"No, I want a house."
The skeleton probably hadn't expected such a disillusionment, and gave an awkward laugh, "They're all too lazy, come to my place."
Lu Yulan had a bad feeling that you were even lazier than them.
really.
The house was made directly from the skeleton of a giant insect beast, right inside the insect beast's abdomen.
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"
"This insectoid beast is the biggest and strongest one!"
