This is indeed a bit strange; they've lived here for so long, yet their bodies haven't shown any signs of discomfort.
Their companions who had touched the hot spring water, however, cooled down instantly.
"It's possible that the poison only takes effect upon contact," the girl in the trio tentatively suggested.
"Anyway, the steam isn't poisonous, so why worry about it so much!"
Seeing Hua Rong steal the spotlight as soon as she entered, Ou Yang was very displeased.
She retorted with a droopy face.
Hua Rong ignored Ou Yang and continued, "Generally speaking, if the water is poisonous, then the steam will also be poisonous. But in this case, the most direct explanation is that the water is not poisonous at all."
"Impossible! This water is poisonous! Our friend died instantly after touching it, almost in an instant. The toxicity of this water is unimaginable!"
"Yes, we wouldn't be staying here if there were somewhere else to sleep nearby."
"We usually live quite far from this hot spring."
Before Qian Que could speak, the other three classmates started to object, since it was their teammate who had died.
Hua Rong looked at the hot spring and fell into thought. He quickly said, "The water is not poisonous, but there is a creature in the water. When this creature comes into contact with a human body, it will most likely enter the bloodstream immediately and cause the person to lose vital functions at an extremely fast speed. In the end, it will devour the person completely."
Hearing her words, everyone present was terrified.
Looking at the hot spring, they felt that what Hua Rong said seemed to be true.
Ou Yang also felt a chill run down her spine, but she still couldn't believe that Hua Rong had such great abilities!
She asked directly and forcefully, "How did you know?"
Hua Rong didn't speak; of course he knew, because her mental strength was powerful enough.
Therefore, you can feel that there are many living things in this hot spring water.
Ordinary creatures cannot live in hot springs.
These aquatic creatures are quite interesting; their attack power is so strong. If only we could recruit them for our own use…
"Whether my guess is right or not, we should stay away from this hot spring. That way, we can't go wrong."
Hua Rong didn't dwell on the hot spring water and addressed the group.
"Hehe, what do you mean? I think you're just talking nonsense. Now you can't explain yourself anymore, can you? If you don't know, you don't know, but you still have to spout nonsense." Ou Yang rolled her eyes and mocked.
The three classmates all wore mocking expressions.
They had thought Hua Rong's words made some sense just now, but now they realized they made no sense at all; it was clearly just nonsense.
Ou Yang looked at the sky outside; it was already dark. "We went out today but couldn't find anything to eat, and our nutrient solution is running low. What should we do next?"
Qian Que frowned as well. "Let's go out and look again tomorrow. We should still have a few bottles of nutrient solution. Let's take them out and share them."
"Then the five of us have to share it. The other three didn't do anything, so why should they drink the nutrient solution?"
Qian Que wanted to persuade Ou Yang, but since she controlled the backpack containing the nutrient solution, he couldn't make the decision.
"Xiao Yang, you—"
"Qian Que, shut up! I've already regressed enough! Anyway, the nutrient solution can only be drunk by the five of us. Even so, this nutrient solution won't last much longer. I don't know when we can leave this godforsaken place. We'll go out and find food tomorrow. If we can't find food, we'll probably starve to death before we even freeze to death."
As she spoke, she took out several bottles of nutritional supplements from her backpack and distributed them to the five of them, ignoring Hua Rong and the other two.
Hua Rong watched this scene with a very calm expression.
Qian Que glanced at the vial of nutrient solution in her hand and handed it to Hua Rong: "Rongrong, you drink it, I'm not hungry right now."
Hua Rong glanced at the nutrient solution, then at Ou Yang's fiery glare, and refused, "I don't like drinking this."
"But—" Qian Que's voice trailed off as she realized she had to eat something.
Because a roast chicken suddenly appeared out of thin air in Hua Rong's hand.
Roast chicken!
It really is roast chicken!
Not only was he stunned, but Ou Yang and her three classmates were also stunned.
They seem to be dreaming!
How come there's roast chicken here?
Hua Rong ignored what they were thinking, broke off a chicken leg, and handed it to Alexia.
Alexia: "Thank you, sir." After thanking her, Alexia quickly grabbed the chicken leg and started eating.
After nodding, Hua Rong broke off another chicken leg and put it in his mouth.
He handed the rest to Long Fei.
Long Fei looked at the leg in Hua Rong's hand and swallowed hard. "Rongrong, I want to eat a chicken leg."
Hua Rong rolled her eyes. "You eat the chicken butt and head first, save the middle part for me."
Long Fei almost cried when he heard this.
"Rongrong, you are so cruel..."
He should have filed a complaint earlier. But when Hua Rong gave him a look, he dared not say anything.
He silently ate the chicken's tail and head.
Then he secretly ate a little bit of the chicken body.
Ou Yang and the others drooled as they looked at the roast chicken in their hands.
The girl in the trio said, "Rongrong, can I trade you some nutrient solution for a piece of chicken? Just one piece!"
She hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and besides, meat and vegetables were quite precious in this interstellar era, and she didn't eat them often outside.
Hua Rong only gave this female classmate a glance.
Before the girl's face flushed from that glance.
When Ouyang said she wouldn't give me anything to eat, you didn't argue back.
The female classmate seemed to read that meaning in Hua Rong's eyes, and immediately knew not to say anything more.
She could only drool over the roast chicken while drinking the nutrient solution in her hand, inwardly grumbling that Ou Yang was too blunt; otherwise, she could have eaten meat too.
As for Ouyang's face, it was practically a color palette.
This woman, Hua Rong, had food, why didn't she say so earlier!
Moreover, this chicken just appeared out of thin air; perhaps she possesses some kind of spatial container!
Just thinking about this made Ou Yang feel uncomfortable all over.
Ou Huarong should be trampled under her feet. Why should she get to eat meat?
And she somehow got lucky and obtained a spatial container!
This thing has a very small capacity, but it is extremely valuable.
After all, in the exploration of space and time, interstellar travel has only scratched the surface and there are still no clues.
The space containers that can be created are all controlled by some important figures.
Qian Que was also a little greedy, but he wasn't as shameless as that female classmate.
After drinking the nutrient solution, he leaned against the wall to rest for a while.
The aroma of roast chicken lingered in his nostrils. He swallowed hard, and when he opened his eyes again, he found Hua Rong standing in front of him, handing him a piece of chicken.
"Eat."
Qian Que held the piece of chicken in a daze, and then suddenly felt a little touched.
He recalled how kind Hua Rong had been to him in the past.
"Rongrong..." he called out to Hua Rong with deep emotion.
