Without the annoying Andina, the rest of the people got along more comfortably and harmoniously. In the blink of an eye, another month had passed on the deserted planet.
During this period, Yin Yi and his companions brought back several orcs and half-orcs during a hunt, and one of the half-orcs was pregnant.
When those people saw Qingxue, they were stunned for a moment, and then greeted her awkwardly.
"You survived, too? You're so lucky!"
Qingxue nodded gently: "Well, you, why are there only a few of you left?"
At this moment, there were only five people rescued by Yin Yi and his men, two orcs and three orcs.
Qingxue's eyes fell on the pregnant orc's belly: "Phil, you..."
Phil touched his bulging belly and smiled shyly: "I'm with Langmie."
Langmie was the orc who had always been by her side, carefully supporting and protecting her. At this moment, there was a hideous scar on his originally handsome face, running from his forehead to his left chin.
"Um, congratulations."
Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and congratulated them dryly, then took them to an empty room to settle down and wash up.
"These rooms are all empty. You can choose which one you want. There are showers in each room. Go wash up first. I'll get you some clean clothes. When you're done, come out and I'll prepare some food for you."
After the tired people mustered up their spirits and thanked Qingxue, they each chose a room nearest to them and went in to wash up.
Qingxue took the clothes prepared by Yu Rou and the others and delivered them to Phil's room. Ruoyan delivered clothes to another half-orc. As for the orcs' clothes, Xiong Lie and Xi Meng delivered them.
"Qingxue, they left you when you were sick, so why are you still so nice to them? Don't you resent them?"
When Ruoyan saw Qingxue go to the kitchen to prepare food for them after delivering the clothes, and carefully prepared some more nutritious food for the pregnant Phil, she couldn't help but speak curiously.
Qingxue smiled and shook her head: "What's there to be resentful about? They and I are strangers. We just happened to encounter the same disaster and ended up here. The forest is full of dangers. Everyone is trying their best to survive every day. When I was not sick, they did not abandon me. Langmie even took the initiative to call on the orcs to protect us half-orcs.
But later I fell ill and there was no medicine. Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for me to survive in that condition. Everyone had to abandon me so that others could live a better life.
They weren't actually wrong, but I remember there were 20 of them when they left, so how come there are only a few of them left now?"
At the end of her speech, Qingxue couldn't help but feel a little confused. After all, most of the people who survived at that time were orcs with strong combat capabilities. Logically speaking, they had already left the most dangerous interior of the forest and should not encounter beast tides again. Even if they occasionally encountered some giant beasts, they could solve them with the combat capabilities of those orcs. Even if there were some casualties, it was impossible for only so few people to be left.
"Maybe they met with an accident. Look at the huge scar on Langmie's face. Another orc also seems to have had his arm broken. He didn't get timely treatment, so the bone didn't heal properly and has been hanging by his side in a weird posture."
Yu Rou stood at the kitchen door, listening to their conversation and interjected.
"Won't we know what exactly happened when we wait for them to come out and ask them?"
"Too."
Ruoyan echoed and brought out the prepared food. Seeing that they had prepared quite a lot of food, Yurou came over to help bring it out.
Jiang Wan rarely took a lazy day, so he told them that he was tired and wanted to take a nap. He was hiding in the space, picking a lot of fruits and eating them, when he heard Yu Rou knocking on the door. He quickly wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth, went out of the space, and pretended to be sleepy to open the door.
"What's the matter? What's the hurry?"
Jiang Wan yawned and looked at Yu Rou outside the door curiously.
"Wanwan, Xiaoyi and the others went out and picked up a few more people today. Did you know that those people happened to be the ones who abandoned Qingxue before? There was also a pregnant orc among them."
Yu Rou stuck her head into the room mysteriously, leaned close to Jiang Wan's ear and whispered, "It's over," then she wrinkled her nose and looked at Jiang Wan in confusion.
"Wanwan, why do you smell so sweet?"
"Uh, oh, I just ate some wild fruit before going to bed, and maybe the juice of the fruit dripped onto my clothes."
Jiang Wan laughed. Yu Rou looked at her doubtfully and said nothing more. She just pulled her hand and hurried to the hall, fearing that if they were late they would miss out on the latest gossip.
"Hurry up, let's go and listen together."
Jiang Wan was curious when he heard that they had picked up someone again. They had been on this desolate planet for four months, and this was the third wave of people they had encountered.
If they stayed for another year or two, they could establish a small empire on this desolate planet.
The two of them arrived at the hall, where those people were wolfing down the prepared food. Seeing this, Yu Rou quickly pulled Jiang Wan to find the best listening seat and sat down, waiting to hear the first-hand news.
The others were also sitting scattered around the hall, looking at these five people curiously.
After Lang Mie took care of his partner and made sure he was full, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of food, put down his cutlery, stood up and saluted Yin Yi and Bai Li.
"Lang Mie, Captain of the Eighth Squad of the 98th Legion on the Xifa Border, reports to the two commanders."
"puff--"
Jiang Wan, who had eaten too much fruit and felt a little sweet in his mouth, was drinking water from a cup. When he heard the name suddenly, he spat out the water in his mouth. Yu Rou, who was sitting opposite him, quickly pulled her partner in front of her to block her, avoiding the experience of having her face washed by saliva.
"Ahem—sorry, I just choked accidentally."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Wan quickly found an excuse and pretended to cough a few times.
"Wanwan, drink slowly."
Yin Yi patted Jiang Wan's back gently and handed her a tissue.
Jiang Wan took the tissue and wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth, then looked up at Lang Mie who was reporting in front of him, and secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
Bro, you picked a great name.
"Wanwan, would you like some more water?"
Jiang Wan waved his hand and declined the cup of water that Yin Yi handed over.
She decided not to drink it, as it would be embarrassing if she heard about her squirting uncontrollably later.
Once can be considered as choking, but twice is unacceptable.
