Chapter 138 Chapter 138

It was five days later when Rong Heng finally woke up.

The climate of B3024 is artificially controlled, with more sunny days than rain. He hid in the garbage dump, which was hot and stuffy, and there were scavengers gnawing at his flesh and blood. Unsurprisingly, the wounds on his body became infected.

Ruan Shiqing stayed by his side without leaving, his mood rising and falling with his weak breathing.

The passage of time seemed to slow down in the agony, until the small figure finally moved and struggled to its feet. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes welling up.

Rong Heng didn't know of his existence. He struggled to get up, and was not too surprised to see the wounds all over his body. He just stared at the wounds for a long time, and then lowered his head with difficulty to lick the wounds.

When there is no medicine, licking is the most primitive way to heal wounds.

He licked the wound slowly, and after a while, he was about to spit out a mouthful of dark red blood mixed with rotten flesh and burnt hair. You can imagine how painful it would be to clean such a wound, but his movements were not hesitant, only his eyes revealed a hint of disgust.

The tiny cub took a long time to clean the wound, and then he lay back down, motionless, with only his brown eyes wide open. His eyes were dark and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Ruan Shiqing squatted beside him, stroking his tense back again and again. Even though he knew he couldn't feel his presence, he still didn't give up.

Rong Heng lay motionless for half a month. The wounds on his body that had been cleaned up began to recur. He cleaned them again and again, but the bad environment caused infections and attracted groups of scavengers.

He was disgusted and impatient at first, but later, he was able to clean the wounds that were repeatedly inflamed without any expression, and even used dirty blood and rotten meat to attract those scavengers and use them as his food. When he calmly swallowed those creatures that even the poorest homeless people would not eat, Ruan Shiqing's eyes were red, and he used all his self-control to hold back from crying.

…

According to the records in the crystal ball, Ruan Shiqing had always been following Rong Heng.

He saw him hiding deep in the garbage dump, relying on scavengers to barely maintain basic survival needs. When it occasionally rained, he would use dirty metal pipes to store rainwater. His once fluffy and soft white fur fell off due to severe malnutrition and injuries, revealing the flesh-pink skin underneath. The harsh environment caused his injuries to recur repeatedly, and it took nearly three months for them to heal. Large, ugly scars spread across his thin body, and he could no longer look like a Judean cub.

With his strong willpower, he survived the serious injuries and became the most common wanderer on the planet B3024.

Ruan Shiqing watched him struggle to survive, accumulating strength bit by bit, and finally regaining his adult form. However, due to the severe injuries he had suffered before, his strength was less than half of what it was before.

At this time, Rong Heng had experienced fighting in harsh environments, encountered countless hidden arrows, and witnessed countless betrayals under the interests. He became extremely indifferent and refused to trust anyone again, including those comrades who had fought side by side with him in the Yanjis region.

He did not contact Dares and others, nor did he activate Noah, but hid alone on the B3024 star, slowly building up his own power. He bought a retired battleship, gathered a lot of vicious people, and formed an interstellar pirate fleet.

This interstellar pirate fleet does not hijack ordinary fleets. It specifically targets the transport fleets of the four ancient clans and the four major tycoons. Whenever they take action, they will never leave a single victim alive.

Relying on robbing everywhere, this interstellar pirate team has grown stronger over the past ten years and has become a wanted criminal of the empire. At this time, Rong Heng always appeared in front of people in a neat military uniform and a white smiling mask. Under the mask, his eyes were cold and cruel.

Others called him "The Grim Reaper."

Looking at him like this, Ruan Shiqing finally realized the meaning of this code name.

Unlike this time, Rong Heng in the previous world was the true god of death who crawled out from the abyss.

Ruan Shiqing felt a pain in his heart, but he could only watch the progress continue to move forward.

He met Nota during a pirate group's attack on a transport fleet owned by the mermaids.

When Rong Heng led his men into the transport ship's cockpit, Nota had just pulled the sharp knife out of the captain's throat. Blood dripped from the tip of the knife. She licked it clean with the tip of her tongue, raised her chin and said, "Are you the 'God of Death'? I heard that you are recruiting people to do something big. What do you think of me?"

At this time, Nota had become a young girl, with a graceful figure, wearing a black leather jacket, and a waist full of knives shining with cold light. However, there was no innocence in her narrow eyes, but only the enjoyment after killing.

Her appearance was also different from before. One of her furry red ears was missing, and there was a hideous scar on her beautiful and delicate cheek, which added a bit of banditry to her.

Rong Heng looked at her for a while and agreed to let her join.

Perhaps it was fate. Even though the two did not know each other when they were cubs, their cooperation became more and more tacit as they fought side by side again and again. Nota soon became Rong Heng's right-hand man and occupied a place in the pirate army.

When they were not on a mission, they would occasionally drink together. When Nota got drunk and accidentally exposed her tail, Ruan Shiqing discovered that she had only one of her original ten fluffy fox tails. There was a circle of scars around that lonely tail.

Ruan Shiqing felt distressed when he saw this. He placed his hand on her head and gently stroked her missing ear.

"How come you lost your tail?" Rong Heng asked the question that Ruan Shiqing couldn't ask.

"I cut it off myself." Nota looked at the broken tail behind him and showed a nonchalant expression: "I originally had ten tails. Tutar planet regards hybrids as heretics and cannot tolerate me. I was captured when I was about to leave. I finally escaped, but was caught on a remote garbage planet and became an auction item."

Mixed-bloods are discriminated against on the planet Tutar, but outside, they are still highly sought after in the black market auction houses because of their bloodline and appearance of the four ancient clans.

She shrugged her shoulders, took a sip of wine, and skipped over her experience after the auction. She said lightly: "Later, I killed my buyer. He was a man of high status. I was being hunted down, so to avoid trouble, I cut off the excess tail. The wound on my face was also caused at that time."

When she talked about the past, she remained calm, with the corners of her mouth even raised nonchalantly.

But Ruan Shiqing, the bystander, clenched his fists when he heard this.

Nota has always been a tough cub. She is like an inconspicuous weed that has endured wind and rain and never gives up. But when she came home, Ruan Shiqing found that she was actually a very sensitive cub, but she was too independent and often used to hiding her true emotions. When she first came home, she didn't even know how to act coquettishly.

Ruan Shiqing put a lot of thought into allowing her to play and act coquettishly as she pleased, just like the other kids.

But there was no him in this world, and Nota had no father either. No one protected her, no one loved her, so when she talked about the injuries on her body, she didn't even frown.

It was like rain falling in Ruan Shiqing's heart, and he curled up into a ball feeling sour.

But no matter how much he felt sorry for her, he couldn't change anything.

Rong Heng and Nota seemed to be planning something big. He kept gathering people and replenishing warships and weapons. The pirate corps quickly grew stronger.

When he was finally ready, Ruan Shiqing realized what he was going to do - he was going to lead people to attack the military fortress of Sgarlan Star.

Everything has a traceable path. Even if he was not there this time, Rong Heng still faced off against Sijia Lanxing.

The strength of the Sgarlan Planet is not bad, but the pirate army is even more ferocious. Sgarlan Planet is on the verge of defeat and is forced to evacuate the military fortress and defend Sgarlan Planet with all its strength.

While the two sides were fighting, Ruan Shiqing saw a familiar face again.

——Ruan Yuebai from the previous world actually returned to the Sgarlan Planet, and followed Lan Xin to discuss cooperation with Rong Heng and his party.

The scars on his face were much more serious than they are now. Perhaps they were not properly treated. Half of his cheek was left with a terrible scar, and one of his blue eyes had lost its luster. He no longer had a gentle smile on his face. His long blue hair hung down and covered half of his cheek, making him look gloomy and unapproachable. When he stood with Garland, even his expression was exactly the same.

They are going to discuss attacking the planet Sgarlan.

Ruan Yuebai and Lan Xin proposed to cooperate with the pirates. Rong Heng helped Lan Xin to capture the Blue Star of Sgar. In return, not only did he offer the military fortress of the Blue Star, but he also provided the pirates with two batches of the latest warships and weapons in the future.

After negotiations, the two parties reached a cooperation agreement.

Lansing returned to Sgarland, and in order to ensure smooth cooperation, Ruan Yuebai temporarily stayed in the Pirate Corps.

He was not talkative and spent most of his time on the main battleship in silence, but Nota really liked to talk to him. Most of the time, Nota would say three sentences before Ruan Yuebai would reply with one sentence. Rong Heng would occasionally join in, and they got along surprisingly well.

But this false peace only lasted for three days.

On the third day, Lansing did not send out a signal as agreed. Rong Heng and his party waited a long time for Lansing's signal, but instead witnessed the explosion of the planet Sgarlan.

The mermaid tribe's base camp, the planet second only to Tin Gold in prosperity, exploded in an instant and turned into stardust.

Rong Heng and Nota looked unhappy - all their previous efforts were in vain, the planet Sgarlan was gone, and the warships and weapons promised by Lansing were naturally wasted.

On the contrary, Ruan Yuebai had a calm expression, as if he had already sensed it.

He looked out the window at the explosion, his dull blue eyes lit up brightly by the firelight. He was silent for a long time before he whispered in a hoarse voice, "Your wish has come true, congratulations."
