Chapter 99: Rescue on the Desolate Planet 22 [Update 1]
In the next month, Ruan Xi devoted himself to the treatment of the indigenous people. At the same time, he was also entangled by a group of furry creatures that had not yet been harmed by the research institute.
“Ahhh…”
“Woof woof woof…”
“Chichichichi…”
“Ah…”
Wolf cubs, leopard cubs, tiger cubs, lion cubs, the people in this research institute were so cruel that they caught almost all the fierce beasts and birds. Fortunately, they arrived at the right time and these cubs had not yet been put into the experiment. However, the parents of these cubs could never go back to the past and the only thing left was to be destroyed.
"Brother, can't we really not kill them? They became like this because they were murdered. This is not their intention..." The little girl who was rescued by Ruan Xi can now walk on her own with the help of crutches. Looking at the monsters that were about to be taken away for destruction, she was so sad that she burst into tears.
The girl has an innocent, kind, and even selfless heart. She is even willing to sacrifice her own life in exchange for the monsters' chance to survive.
However, Ruan Xi understood that this was simply because her cognition was too narrow and she did not understand that some things had to be given up.
The little girl's name is Zhao Yayue, and she is the cousin of the Zhao brothers. After being "planted" in the sea monster, no matter how much pain she suffered, this five-year-old girl could not help but shed tears at this moment because of these man-made monsters that were about to be destroyed. Ruan Xi only felt that everything she saw was holy white light.
This little girl really looks like the old witch doctor respected and admired by the Zhao brothers. Perhaps the old witch doctor has found a successor.
"Yayue, you have to understand that some things must be given up. If you leave them behind, there's a 99% chance that it will bring devastating consequences to the desolate planet. Do you want to gamble your people and your hometown on that little bit of an accident?"
Ruan Xi's words were blunt, even cruel, but for the little girl in front of him, they were a good medicine.
This little girl has a naturally clear and pure heart. Ruan Xi feels that she can see through many things that adults cannot see through.
"Yayue, you said they didn't become like this voluntarily, but the damage is irreversible. They can't go back to their original state. Only by disappearing can they truly be free. And, look..." Ruan Xi half-huggled the little girl in his arms and pointed to the furry creatures that had rolled into a ball and were happily playing. "If I stay here, their bloodline will continue smoothly, right?"
"..." Zhao Yayue looked at the fluffy ball in silence for a long time. Gradually, her eyes were filled with bright starlight, and it became brighter and brighter.
"I can! I will definitely do it! Brother, can I raise them? Not as pets. When they grow up, I will release them back into the wild. An animal's home should be in nature."
Zhao Yayue stared at Ruan Xi, not even blinking, as if afraid of missing a change in Ruan Xi's expression. Her serious and persistent look almost made Ruan Xi laugh.
"Of course, I believe you can do it, Yayue, do you... want to learn medicine from me?"
The little girl obviously didn't expect to hear such words suddenly. She was stunned for a moment. After a long pause, she raised her little hand and pointed at her nose, "Can I?"
The tone was filled with joy and disbelief.
"Of course, you have a pure, kind, and fair heart that is indispensable for a doctor. You are suitable to be a doctor. Moreover, you want to inherit the old witch doctor's last wish and continue to protect your hometown and your people on his behalf, right?" Ruan Xi had long seen through the little girl's obsession and was amazed by her precocity and insight.
After the surprise, the most remaining emotion was admiration. He admired the child's courage and felt that this courage would surely lead her to success.
"I do! Grandpa the witch doctor often taught me how to be a good person and how to recognize herbs. I remember them all in my heart, but..." When she said this, the little girl's voice choked slightly.
However, the arrival of the research institute brought devastating disaster to their hometown. Fortunately, they managed to hold on until the moment they could see the light again.
"Brother, I want to learn! I want to learn from you! But... you will be leaving soon, right? How can I learn medicine from you after you leave?" The little girl was anxious and sad, biting her lower lip with her teeth, feeling a little at a loss.
"Don't worry, there's the Star Network. Desolate Star will no longer be a desolate star. It will be renamed Yulan Star. In the future, it will be officially included in the protection of the Yinyu Empire and will also be included in the coverage of the Star Network. In the future, your brother can teach you through the Internet. However, studying medicine is very hard. Can you persist?"
Before Ruan Xi finished speaking, the little girl nodded several times, her fists clenched tightly, "I can do it! I definitely can do it! Brother, teach me, I will work hard to learn it!"
After coaxing the little girl and accepting his first apprentice, Ruan Xi felt more relaxed than ever since landing on the desolate planet. It was as if he had finally let out the foul air in his heart, and his breathing became smoother.
"Huh..." If they had come earlier, the parents of those little cubs wouldn't have to die, right?
Zhao Yayue was taken back to the camp by Zhao Lianshi who happened to pass by. Ruan Xi stood there in a daze, not noticing someone approaching from behind. Most importantly, Xiaoshu did not give any warning, which meant there was no danger.
"Ruan Xi, what are you thinking about?" He Ziqian's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Ruan Xi subconsciously turned around and saw He Ziqian's perfect face, which looked a little tired but still so handsome that it enraged everyone.
"Think about those damned researchers, and the even more damned manipulators behind the scenes. What kind of punishment should they receive to be worthy of the crimes they committed?" Make amends? Cleanse? That's impossible! Wrong is wrong. Even if it is corrected later, it still cannot undo the damage caused by his mistakes.
You can't just kill someone and then say "I'm sorry" to end the past relationship, right?
"Don't worry, someone will get to the bottom of this matter until the mastermind who has hidden the deepest is found." He Ziqian said this like a promise, which made Ruan Xi a little stunned. Then, he smiled, and his smile was as bright as spring flowers.
"Well, I believe you." He didn't believe the person who was about to take over the case, but He Ziqian. He believed that He Ziqian would not give up until the truth of this matter came to light.
Just like the indigenous people on Yulan Star, even though they have to face He Ziqian’s cold face every day, the person they trust most is still He Ziqian.
"Let's go back and get some rest. I heard from Lao Ba that you've only had four hours of rest every day for four consecutive days. Your body can't take it."
Ruan Xi wanted to say that he was a wood-type mutant, and if he was short of physical strength or energy, his supernatural powers could make up for it at any time. In addition, Xiaoshu had obtained a lot of good things on Yulan Star, and his energy was abundant and overflowing. As long as there was a slight gap on Ruan Xi's side, Xiaoshu would fill it immediately. It was unrealistic for Ruan Xi to feel tired.
However, meeting He Ziqian's concerned eyes, Ruan Xi silently swallowed the words back and said, "Okay, I'll go catch up on some sleep."
After that, the two walked side by side towards the camp. On the way, Ruan Xi told Zhao Yayue that he had accepted her as his disciple. He also asked about the arrangements for setting up a star network base station and a system of infrastructure on Yulan Star, as he was afraid that his disciple would not be able to continue his lessons after he left.
"Don't worry, the establishment of the Star Network base station will be quick and completed in three days. The rest of the infrastructure construction will be taken over by follow-up troops. We will set off to return to the Imperial Capital Star in ten days. Be prepared."
Ruan Xi was caught off guard by the news of his impending departure. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Are you sure you can leave within ten days?"
Ruan Xi felt that there were still too many things they needed to do on Yulan Star, but obviously, they couldn't stay here forever. He was still a student and had to go back to medical school to study!
"If you want to come in the future, I'll bring you back to see them if I have the chance."
“…Okay, it’s a deal.”
After that, the two stopped talking about this topic and turned to some lighter topics, such as how the scenery of Yulan Star is beautiful and unique, and has great development value.
After returning to the camp, Ruan Xi was blocked by a group of furry animals before he could do anything. He was not paying attention for a moment and was tripped by a naughty little wolf cub. He fell on his butt and was instantly submerged by the furry animals.
Among them, the little leopard cat was the most ferocious. Although it was the smallest one, it defeated all the opponents that were bigger than it with its strength, occupied the highest point above Ruan Xi's head, and kept shouting "Yo yo yo" as if it was demonstrating.
Ruan Xi: “…” I feel quite happy, everything is warm and fluffy.
He Ziqian, who was originally planning to go forward to rescue, stopped immediately when he saw the happy expression on Ruan Xi's face. He retreated silently, shaking his head helplessly and laughing.
"Ya ya... ya ya... ya ya..." The little leopard cat kept charging at the other furries, launching a yaya attack. The other furries also kept shouting back. This wave of sound battle was quite fierce. It was hard for Ruan Xi, who was treated as a battlefield. The furries stepped on his body in various ways. It didn't hurt, but it itched! The ticklish spot on his waist had been attacked countless times, and he could hardly hold back his laughter!
"He Ziqian, don't just stand there and watch, come and help!" Only Ruan Xi dared to order He Ziqian around like this, and he acted as if it was his right. The worst thing was that He Ziqian was being ordered around as if it was his right. It was a two-way fight, and the onlookers all had the illusion that they had silently eaten something they shouldn't have.
Lao Ba was waiting for He Ziqian to come back to report to him on the progress of his work. Seeing this scene, he excitedly got together with Yuan Hongwei. The two of them whispered to each other and no one knew what they were talking about, but the smiles on their faces made the other comrades silently step back several steps.
The expressions of these two people now seem so dangerous...
