The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Just Moving Some Stuff

The pattering rain finally stopped.

Thunder and lightning also vanished, and tranquility was restored above the skies.

At this moment——

The entire campsite was a mess, with collapsed dwellings, plants battered by the storm, and the scattered body parts of long-eared rabbits with no single complete corpse...

Complete disarray.

In the pitch-dark night, two students—one tall, one short, one leading and one following—stepped out of their temporary shelter.

The shorter one in front hurried along, and in the blink of an eye, darted off into the distance. Looking back, she realized her teammate had not kept up and immediately started complaining, ”Spicy Eye, can’t you walk any faster?”

Sheng Qingyan was actually walking quite briskly, but his habituated lethargy meant his preferred pace was slow and leisurely, nothing like 4444, the poor dead, who seemed to be rushing as if racing to get reincarnated.

Yawning, Sheng Qingyan grumbled discontentedly, ”What on earth have you dragged me out here for?”

Ji You didn’t answer and continued to look around as they walked.

Suddenly——

Her eyes lit up, and she dashed to a clump of weeds ahead and squatted down.

”Found it.”

Catching his breath, Sheng Qingyan approached and muttered, ”Found what?”

Then——

Seeing what Ji You was holding in her hand, Sheng Qingyan’s sleepiness vanished completely. He jumped up in disgust, pinching his nose as he exclaimed,

”How disgusting.”

”Why are you picking up long-eared rabbit corpses?”

Ji You tossed the rabbit with a broken neck to him, ”Stop talking nonsense, just pack it up.”

Sheng Qingyan startled, ”Don’t even think about it! Don’t expect me to touch these disgusting things.”

Ji You rolled her eyes, ”What’s so disgusting? What’s so smelly? Can’t you see it’s radiating with the brilliance of credit points from head to toe?”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Covering his mouth corner, Sheng Qingyan pointed at the long-eared rabbit with its neck twisted and rolled his eyes, ”It has no head.”

”Ah ha~”

”Forgot about that.” Ji You grinned and said, ”Don’t sweat the small stuff, just hurry up and pack it for me!”

Sheng Qingyan clutched his chest, pretending to be adamantly unwilling, and resisted, ”Don’t even think about it.”

Ji You: ”...”

If it weren’t for his Space Button having enough capacity, would she have brought him along? Wouldn’t bringing along Little Zhouzhou be much nicer?

The kid was both well-behaved and obedient!

So——

Ji You frowned, ”Green Glaze Master——”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Qingyan immediately dropped his arms wrapped around his chest, and with an aggrieved expression said, ”You... how can you bully the Universe’s number one Little Cutie.”

Whilst speaking, he reluctantly stored away the decapitated long-eared rabbit.

Ji You laughed heartily, ”Kid, the organization has high hopes for you! Hang in there a little longer, and you’ll win the favor of the Green Glaze Master’s... cough cough... retail salesperson.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Therefore——

On the journey that followed, Ji You, leading a thoroughly dispirited Sheng Qingyan, searched along the way and found 5 more long-eared rabbit corpses.

One of them was a Level 3; Ji You was thrilled to no end.

The group of long-eared rabbits that besieged the students this time numbered around 150 in total, with 3 of them being Level 3s and roughly 20 Level 2s. With higher levels came greater strength, and naturally, the materials on its body were more valuable.

The valuable parts of a long-eared rabbit were its teeth and claws, and also its blood was useful, although the blood was no longer collectable, so Ji You gave up on it.

There was no time now to strip the claws and teeth, so Ji You planned to collect the corpses and have everyone work together to strip them later.

...

Ji You went out with Sheng Qingyan, and of course, they weren’t just there to pick up corpses. Credit points were tempting, but life was more important.

What she mainly went out for—

At this moment, the communicator rang.

Ji You answered it and asked, ”Xiaoqing, have you finished discussing?”

Shen Changqing and four others went to negotiate with Yu Song, Yu Yi, and other teams about strengthening patrols around the area. They had reached an agreement, and the agreed-upon plan was each team would dispatch 2 people to join the Patrol Team, with 100 people per shift, rotating every half-hour...

This way, everyone could get proper rest, and the injured people could focus on healing.

Shen Changqing relayed all the details of what was discussed to Ji You, then added, ”Just now, we also took the chance to find out about the treatment instruments our Combat Department currently has. We have a total of 11, and there are about 90 people who brought fully equipped medical kits.”

Ji You: ”Eh?”

Including the one owned by Penny, there were 11 treatment instruments. The reason Ji You knew about Penny’s was that she had seen it by chance when Penny was submitting supplies, and Teacher Mu didn’t seem to take it, so Ji You made a mental note.

This was also why Ji You remained calm even seeing Ren An seriously injured.

It hadn’t occurred to her that Shen Changqing would go out to talk with other groups and still manage to gather this crucial information.

Ji You couldn’t help but smile: ”You even took the time to find out about all this! It’s very useful. This means the injured students should be alright.”

What she appreciated most about Shen Changqing was his attention to detail and reliability in handling things.

Shen Changqing furrowed his brow: ”These medical supplies are just about sufficient for the current situation, but—should there be more Star Beast attacks, they’ll be far from enough.”

Ji You said, ”That’s why the Patrol Team absolutely can’t be careless. Also, we mustn’t fight solo. We must integrate all our combat strength and fight together.”

Shen Changqing of course understood this, he said, ”The others in the teams know the importance, so there’s no need to worry.”

Then, Shen Changqing said, ”For our team’s first patrol shift, I’ll go with Xuzhou, and I’ve told Jiaojiao and Lance to return to the team.”

Ji You trusted Shen Changqing’s work, and nodded, ”Good.”

The two then discussed some details about the patrol.

Afterwards, they ended the call.

Currently, the entire camp’s situation was developing for the better, and Ji You was feeling a bit happy, promptly urging Sheng Qingyan: ”Let’s hurry, no dawdling.”

Sheng Qingyan puffed up with annoyance: ”Just the thought of picking up corpses makes one utterly unmotivated...”

Ji You’s mouth twitched: ”We’re not going to pick up corpses this time!”

Sheng Qingyan was taken aback and asked, ”Then what are we going to do?”

”Cough cough...” Ji You, thinking of the task ahead, looked a bit uncomfortable and said, ”Just moving some stuff.”

Sheng Qingyan was somewhat suspicious, ”Move what?”

”Why ask so many questions? You’ll see when we get there,” Ji You waved her hand dismissively, then quickened her pace.

Knowing they weren’t just going to collect the corpses of long-eared rabbits, Sheng Qingyan finally perked up and hurried to catch up with Ji You.

Then—

Then—

Having hurriedly followed Ji You to the destination, Sheng Qingyan looked incredulously at poor dead number 4444 as they brazenly entered Teacher Mu’s super-luxurious tent, swiftly scavenging everything inside, foods, and utilities, and then—even took the tent itself...

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan was completely stupefied.
