After listening to Langmie's report, Yin Yi and Bai Li were silent for a moment. They did not expect that three of the orcs rescued this time were active soldiers of the empire.
The wolf orc Lang Mie is the squad leader of the border garrison with the rank of captain. The other two, the crocodile orc Chi Xuan and the tiger orc Wang Cong, are both cruisers on the interstellar cruiser No. 79.
A few of them were on vacation and took a starship home to visit their relatives. Unexpectedly, they encountered a space collapse accident and ended up here.
"According to Qingxue, there should have been twenty people when you left her. Why are there only a few of you left now?"
Yin Yi's cold gaze made Lang Mie in front of him break out in cold sweat.
"Reporting to the General, after we left, a few orcs among those people had a disagreement with us and no longer wanted to stay with us, so they left with the others. I don't know where they are now."
"As an orc, especially a soldier, you should know the consequences of abandoning an orc in a dangerous environment."
"Yes, I understand. I plead guilty."
Seeing that his partner didn't say a word to defend himself and just admitted the guilt, Phil suppressed his fear and spoke up to defend his partner.
"General, Lang Mie cannot be blamed for this. He was also strongly opposed to abandoning Qingxue at the time, but..."
Phil was interrupted by his partner halfway through his speech.
Seeing this, Qingxue also spoke softly.
"Admiral, Phil is right. Captain Langmie and the two soldiers were strongly opposed to it at the time. However, there were too many people in the crowd who opposed it, so they were knocked unconscious and taken away by others."
Phil nodded repeatedly on the side: "Yes, yes, after they woke up, they insisted on going back to find Qingxue, but the others disagreed. Langmie and the others had a big quarrel with the other orcs, and then they separated.
There were many orcs there, and their fighting power was relatively strong, so most people followed them. Only my sister Feifei and I went back with them to look for her. But when we got there, Qingxue was no longer there. We thought...we thought..."
Needless to say, everyone understands what they think.
A seriously ill orc has no way out in a forest full of wild beasts.
Unexpectedly, Qingxue was lucky enough to survive and meet Yin Yi and the others alive, and was rescued by them.
Yin Yi did not dwell on this matter. After all, they were now stranded on this desolate planet, and there were only a few of them. The most urgent thing was to find a way to leave this sea of meteorites. Other things could be discussed after they left safely.
"You have been on this planet for so long, have you found anything unusual?"
Lang Mie thought for a moment before continuing, "About seven months ago, the beasts in the forest seemed to have encountered something horrific. They all fled to the outskirts of the forest and stayed there for about five days before returning. During that time, the communicator I was carrying seemed to have received a weak signal."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They had been here for four months. Yin Yi and Bai Li checked the communicator every day, but they had never received even a trace of signal.
They actually received a signal seven months ago!
"Yes, my communicator also received an emergency signal from the interstellar cruiser at that time."
Chi Xuan took out his communicator, turned it on, and handed it to Yin Yi to prove that Lang Mie was right.
The communicators used by their military personnel are more advanced than those used by ordinary people. Some can even ignore the interference of signal jammers and still send and receive messages, just like the communicator used by Yin Yi on the starship.
Although Langmie and his gang’s communicators are not as advanced as Yin Yi’s, they are much better than those of ordinary people and are more sensitive in receiving signals.
Yin Yi took Chi Xuan's communicator, looked at the records on it, and confirmed that what they said was correct.
"Since you were able to receive the signal, why didn't you ask for help?"
Chi Xuan and Wang Cong lowered their heads and said nothing. Lang Mie was also silent for a moment before he replied under everyone's curious gaze, "Admiral, this is a sea of meteorites, a place that no one in the entire galaxy dares to approach. Even if we can receive a signal from the outside world, so what? We have no idea how long this signal can last.
If we rashly ask for help, let alone whether those who receive the signal will dare to come and save us, even if they risk coming in, what will happen? It will only cause more people to be stranded on this desolate planet."
After hearing Lang Mie's words, everyone fell silent.
Perhaps it was because they had landed in a relatively safe plain area from the beginning and had never seen what the interior of the forest they were talking about looked like.
On weekdays, strong orcs like Yin Yi go hunting for food, and there is an escape ship as a residence.
Except for the time when they met the Lion Mercenary Group, they had no worries about food and drink every day, and even lived a quite comfortable life. However, they overlooked that this planet was inside the meteorite sea that the entire interstellar space was talking about with shudders.
What Langmie said makes sense.
If they ask for help from the outside world when they receive the signal, it is a question whether the people who receive the signal dare to come to rescue them.
"Why did the beasts inside the forest panic and run outside?"
Jiang Wan asked, breaking the silence.
"Wanwan, what do you mean..."
Yin Yi immediately noticed Jiang Wan's thoughts.
Bai Li thought for a moment and understood. "You mean, there might be something inside the forest that frightened the beasts, so they hid out. And Langmie and the others' communicators could receive messages because of that thing?"
"Um."
Jiang Wan nodded. "Don't you think this is all quite coincidental? The beasts inside the forest were out for five days, and their communicators received signals from the outside world during those five days. Five days later, the beasts returned, and they couldn't receive the signals anymore. Doesn't this clearly tell us that there's something wrong inside the forest?"
Bai Li rubbed his chin, nodded, and agreed, "You have a point, but we still need to go in and explore what's inside this forest to find out."
When Langmie, Chixuan, and the others heard this, they all showed expressions of horror on their faces: "General, the forest is extremely dangerous. It will be difficult for us to get in with just a few people."
Yin Yi made a decision after just a moment: "Whether it's dangerous or not, you have to go there to know. Besides, we've been here for too long. If there's a way to leave, we have to try it."
