Black, sticky liquid was dripping from Helan Yuan's gloves, and the tentacles on his hands were twitching nervously.
But after Helan Yuan slapped him, he stopped moving completely.
"poisonous."
He suddenly blocked Zi Xi's approach with his arm, his eyes serious beneath his bangs ruffled by the sea breeze.
"I can help you get to your research team's spaceship."
"coordinate."
He stared at the calm, waveless sea. This must be the largest of the strange beasts. Once again, he made a move that was different from usual.
He believed that the girl with the ever-present smile couldn't have come alone; she must have been part of a team exploring the coastline, and she had simply ended up here.
"I don't have a team, or rather, I'm... I'm part of the advance team, it's just me!"
Zi Xi chuckled upon hearing this, then suddenly patted her chest seriously.
She's a one-woman army!
He Lanyuan's breathing emitted a slight off-frequency sound, and a feeling of astonishment suddenly arose within him.
one person? ?
He watched silently as the girl took out a scalpel, the tip drawing an arc of light in the shadows. If he wasn't mistaken, it looked like... an ancient kitchen utensil.
"Handsome young man, thank you! You can put it down now!"
Zi Xi suddenly poked the tentacle in his hand with the tip of her knife.
"Are you... wearing a radiation protection device?"
Helan Yuan lowered his tentacles and once again inquired about the matter, being nosy as ever.
"Of course... I wore it, I wore it, don't worry, handsome!"
"As expected, we must kill them on the spot!"
Zi Xi gave him a perfunctory look at the device on her left hand, squatting on the ground, as if she could see the white flesh inside through the black outer skin.
Helan Yuan watched as Zi Xi used modified kitchen utensils to extract and test for toxins. For the first time, the heart rate monitored by his wristband broke through the threshold of calm and waveless.
"Put on gloves."
He inexplicably pressed down on her hand as she was about to try peeling the skin, took out his spare gloves from his bracelet, and made her put them on before cutting.
His gloves were specially made to effectively prevent the venom of the alien beast from seeping into his body.
Thanks!
Zi Xi put on gloves, set up a custom-made portable cooking station on the rocks, and began peeling the skin.
The sky had turned a gentle blue-purple at some point, while Helan Yuan's bracelet, which was standing to the side, was beeping. This time, it was an overload warning because his heart rate was too high.
That day, Zi Xi treated He Lan Yuan to a plate of all-natural, non-toxic octopus with just a little salt added, and He Lan Yuan followed her around like a little shadow.
This almost prevented her from preparing a gift for her adoptive mother!
Luckily, this person was the male lead, Helan Yuan, otherwise Zi Xi wouldn't have allowed him to come along!
Back to the present, today is the opening ceremony of the First Academy of the Star Federation, and Zi Xi rushed back as fast as she could.
She has a low mental strength of only C, and the major she chose is archaeology, which is relatively easy. She doesn't have many classes, which makes it convenient for her to travel all over the country.
"Won't you get tired carrying that?"
Helan Yuan stared at the top of Zi Xi's head, wanting to help her get the tin can again.
His mental strength was S-level, allowing him to keenly smell a very fragrant aroma inside. However, Zi Xi wouldn't let him touch it on the spaceship. Only when he went to the washroom just now did she let him take it for a short while.
He Lanyuan felt a vague unease in his heart.
Is what's inside more important than him?
