Chapter 84 Wasteland
The sand here was really uncomfortable. Qiao Ye said, "Xie Chen, find two pieces of clothing in your space ring and put them on your head. And help me gather them together."
Xie Chen: "Okay."
Xie Chen used his clothes to cover himself and Qiao Ye. Xie Chen asked curiously, "Ye Zi, I rarely hear you talk about your past. Would you like to tell me about it?"
Qiao Ye said generously: "Sure."
As she walked on the difficult sand, she asked, "Did Lu Chi ever tell you that I grew up in an orphanage?"
Xie Chen shook his head.
Qiao Ye said calmly, "When I was little, I didn't like to talk, so they all thought I was dumb. Because of this, no family was willing to adopt me."
"So, do you long for a family?"
Qiao Ye nodded. "I longed for it when I was little."
When she was little, Qiao Ye always had some hope when a family came to adopt a child. But later, around the age of eight or ten, she stopped having any hope.
Xie Chen: "Why didn't you yearn for it later?"
Qiao Ye: "Because I've grown up."
When she was three or five years old, she looked forward to the care of her parents and brothers and sisters. But when she grew up, she was independent enough and no longer needed kisses and hugs.
Xie Chen suddenly found it hard to imagine how his companion had spent his childhood. He said with a hint of heartache, "You must have had a very hard life, right?"
Qiao Ye said, "Actually, no. When I'm alone all the time, I don't feel lonely. What about you? Do you have a good relationship with your parents?"
Xie Chen suddenly felt a little ashamed. "I... I've had poor health since I was a child, and my family paid too much attention to me. Then, as an adult, I was diagnosed with Guide differentiation. Everyone in the Xie family focused their attention on me. So... I kind of rejected them."
Xie Chen didn't want to show off to Qiao Ye that he had too much family affection, so after he said it, he felt that he deserved to die.
"Ye Zi. I'm not... I'm just under too much attention and too much pressure. So I really like military school life. After being with you, I feel very relaxed and happy."
Qiao Ye looked back at him, "Don't worry. I understand you."
"Don't you think I'm bad?"
Qiao Ye looked up: "I can imagine that if I had a bunch of relatives surrounding me and worrying about me now, I would probably be annoyed to death."
Xie Chen chuckled. He said, "Ye Zi, with us, you will never be lonely again."
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Well, thank you."
A gust of wind and sand blew over, and Qiao Ye closed his mouth tightly.
After the wind and sand passed, Xie Chen spat out the sand and said, "Ye Zi, let's conserve some water and talk less."
Qiao Ye wanted to say that she didn't need to worry about water, but she really hated the wind and sand, so she said, "Okay."
However, just as Qiao Ye finished speaking, dust flew up in front of him again.
Qiao Ye sensitively sensed something was wrong, but the place was endless, there was no cover at all, and there was nowhere to hide.
She took a few steps back, and two huge aqua-blue insects emerged from the ground. They were a bit like mantises, thin and tall, and had two large sickles.
"What kind of bug is this?" Qiao Ye asked.
Xie Chen: "Ye Zi, this is a sickleworm!"
The water-blue bug slashed over with a sickle. Qiao Ye carried Xie Chen on her back and ran quickly to the side, but another bug quickly blocked their way.
Qiao Ye slammed on the brakes. She wrapped Xie Chen's legs around her waist and patted his hands. "Little Orange, hold on tight! Don't let go."
Before Xie Chen could come to his senses, Qiao Ye took out two long swords from the space ring. The long swords had a certain curvature and gleamed brightly among the full sand.
Qiao Ye said fiercely: "Little guy, it's no big deal that you have two knives. I have two too. Let's try it out!"
The speed of the painting changed very quickly, so fast that before Xie Chen could react, Qiao Ye jumped up with a steel knife.
She jumped as if she was flying, which made Xie Chen completely confused.
Where am I, am I still alive?
The man's knife and the insect's knife clashed together, fighting hand-to-hand, and flames flew everywhere.
There was a small crack, but it didn't go through. Qiao Ye was a little dissatisfied.
Xie Chen used his mental power to sense them and said, "Ye Zi, these are level four bugs. The shells of level four bugs are like steel plates, and ordinary cold weapons are difficult to cut through them."
What Xie Chen meant was: Qiao Ye was very surprised that he could chop up the fourth-level bug with just his mortal body and two knives.
"If you can't cut it with cold weapons, I'll take you to rob the mecha later!"
Xie Chen: “…………”
Xie Chen wanted to say, it’s useless to rob, Ye Zi, you are just an ordinary person. Ordinary people don’t have mental power and cannot drive high-star mechas, and cannot be the main driver.
But he didn't say it out loud, he couldn't bear to hit her.
Some Zerg aura wafted from the injured parts of the two level four insects.
Qiao Ye sniffed and suddenly smelled something that made her excited.
Inside her body, the long-dried crystal core glowed slightly.
I don't know who first said it, but the antidote is often right next to the poison.
It may not be the case for others, but this dry planet happens to be the antidote for Qiao Ye, who has water-based abilities.
"What did I say?" Qiao Ye pressed his cheek with the tip of his tongue, raised his eyebrows, and smiled a little ruffianly.
"Oh, I said I'd kill these two bugs."
She carried Xie Chen on her back and slashed at the insect almost like flying!
Xie Chen, who was carried on Qiao Ye's back, was a little dazed. He didn't come back to his senses until Qiao Ye completely knocked down the two insects.
He knew Qiao Ye was strong, but he didn't know she was so strong.
It’s a four-star bug. Just chop it into two pieces when I say so!
Qiao Ye jumped to the side of the insect with Xie Chen on her back. She looked left and right, then reached out and took out a water-blue crystal-like object from the insect's head.
"What is this?" Qiao Ye asked.
Xie Chen finally came back to his senses and slowly replied, "Maybe it's an insect core? I'm not sure."
Qiao Ye: "Does every bug have one?"
Xie Chen shook his head: "I haven't seen this thing on other bugs. It may be unique to the bugs on this planet."
Qiao Ye nodded and put away the insect core.
This is a water-type insect core. Just like the crystal core obtained from hunting in the previous life, it can enhance one's water-type abilities.
Although this insect core is small in size and not very powerful, it is very precious to Qiao Ye, whose strength has been exhausted for a long time.
It seems that she has to hunt insects in this world and collect more insect cores.
…
The commander of the Dark Clan's operation this time, Dark Sentinel General Pei Shiyi, took off his shirt on the wasteland planet, revealing his strong and sleek eight-pack abs.
In this barren land, he released his frenzied spiritual sea.
His optical computer had a communication connection, and he connected it.
"General Pei, the Imperial Military Academy Mecha Competition Hall, a total of more than 50,000 people, has been transferred to the Wasteland Planet."
