The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006: Arm Repair

”It’s good that you’re all alright.” Ye Liqiang looked at Ji You and the others with a gentle smile. Then, he fixed his gaze on Ji You’s severed arm, his eyes narrowing. After that, his lips relaxed into a smile again, as he said, ”It’s okay if your arm is broken, I’ll find you the best doctor to fix it.”

”Really?” Ji You’s eyes lit up. ”Senior Ye, can my hand still be fixed? Can it be restored to how it was?”

Ye Liqiang thought for a moment before saying, ”That will have to wait until the doctor does a detailed examination. However, even if it can’t be restored, it’s okay. Look—” He suddenly slapped his own thigh and elbow, then pointed to his own hair, saying, ”This leg, this arm, and also this hair, they were all transplanted later...”

Saying this, Ye Liqiang vigorously waved his hand, tugged at his hair, and kicked his leg, laughing, ”Transplants don’t affect the body’s agility.”

Ji You, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan were all astonished upon hearing this. Ji You opened his mouth and said, ”Senior Ye, you’ve already replaced so many of your own body parts?”

Ye Liqiang chuckled, ”It’s not such a rare thing. Warriors like us who defend the front lines, who hasn’t repaired or replaced parts of their body? It’s a common occurrence, something we’re used to.”

At this point, Ye Liqiang suddenly pointed to a burly young warrior with exceptionally fair skin, saying, ”Look at our strongest combatant, Xiao Liu. Except for his heart and brain, everything else has been replaced.”

Ji You and the others: ”...”

Suddenly, everyone rose in respect.

The unexpectedly named Xiao Liu, despite his rugged appearance, was extremely shy. Facing the students’ admiring gaze, his face turned as red as a boiled shrimp in an instant...

Ye Liqiang’s face suddenly turned serious, saying, ”The Flying Eagle Mercenary Group has already been captured, but there are many things that need handling. Moreover, we can’t guarantee whether this place is entirely safe yet. Now that you’re all injured, it’s best to retreat from Bee Head Star temporarily and leave the rest to us.”

Ji You’s hand, Chu Jiaojiao’s chest and abdomen, Shen Changqing’s eyes...

These children are the hope of the Alliance.

Upon hearing this, Ji You did not voice any objections. The Flying Eagle Mercenary Group seemed to come from a clean background as free mercenaries but secretly engaged in activities akin to interstellar pirates. Do they still have accomplices?

What is the motive behind this group?

How did the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group know about the illegal laboratory beneath Dock 6 on Bee Head Star?

Was it discovered by chance back when they were free mercenaries, or did they already know?

And—

When was this illegal laboratory built? What research was conducted? Who constructed it? Who is the capital behind it? Does it have connections with those mining groups, or...

...

There are too many questions awaiting investigation.

But!!!

This isn’t Ji You’s job or a region Ji You can currently touch... She clearly understood that Senior Ye Liqiang’s words carried underlying meaning, but Ji You found no need to dig deeper because she knew that Senior Ye Liqiang and these lovable and respectable warriors had their reasons for withholding certain information.

Thus—

Ji You immediately said, ”Senior, we’ll retreat at once.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Liqiang laughed, ”It’ll take 30 light minutes to return to the Space Station, you’re injured and lacking in parts... I’ll have Xiao Liu and two other warriors escort you back.”

Ji You felt a bit embarrassed, ”Senior Ye, isn’t it a bit much? Better to let Brother Xiao Liu stay here and assist you; we can manage on our own!”

Ye Liqiang waved his hand, saying, ”It’s decided.”

”Ahem...” Ji You forcefully cleared her throat, winking at Senior Ye Liqiang. Ye Liqiang was momentarily stunned, and Ji You’s face filled with smiles, ”Senior Ye, I have a favor to ask. I’m not sure if I should mention it.”

Ye Liqiang said, ”Speak.”

Upon hearing this, Ji You immediately blurted out, ”Senior, can the treasure we found in the secret chamber, and the Space Button on these corpses, can the treasures inside be ours?”

Ye Liqiang never expected Ji You to say this, and with such blatant straightforwardness, without even a hint of shyness.

This child...

I heard, she’s quite the Old Miser.

Ahem...

Ye Liqiang swept away the smile on his face, adopting a very serious tone, ”I can only agree to part. This is also what I wanted to discuss with you next. There may be items or clues on them and in this chamber that the Alliance needs, so I can’t decide to give it all to you.”

This was consistent with Ji You’s guess, and Ji You wasn’t much disappointed. She glanced at Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, and Yue Qiguang... noticing they seemed to have no objections either. So, Ji You directly said, ”Well, we’ll only take those valuable treasures you don’t need, nothing else.”

Shen Changqing and the others: ”...”

Ye Liqiang smiled, ”Alright.”

This child, indeed without any pretense.

Ji You was finally filled with excitement, nearly jumping out of the repair cabin to quickly pick out treasures. However, due to excessive blood loss, her body was still weak, requiring her to stay in the repair cabin for a while longer.

Ji You felt somewhat helpless; she turned her head to look at Chu Jiaojiao in another repair cabin. Chu Jiaojiao still had her eyes closed, her stunning yet fierce face now completely colorless, as pale as a sheet of paper, ready to tear at any poke.

Such a Chu Jiaojiao just embodied the feeling her name suggested.

Gazing at Chu Jiaojiao’s peaceful sleeping face, Ji You’s initial excitement seemed to gradually settle down. Unconsciously, Ji You also fell asleep. By the time she woke again, half an hour had passed, and Ji You felt a slight recovery of vitality, immediately requesting to exit the repair cabin.

Nearby, Yue Qiguang grumbled, ”Are you some kind of joker summoned by monkeys? Can’t you just stay quietly in the repair cabin like a patient?” Despite the complaining, he still opened the cabin door for Ji You.

Ji You climbed out, hopping on one leg, wobbling toward the place where Ying Tu and others’ Space Buttons were stored, while beside her Yue Qiyuan softly remarked, ”Number 4444, I remember your hand is injured, not your leg.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You slapped her forehead with her good hand, chuckling awkwardly, ”Haha, I forgot. No wonder I felt something was off with my body, turns out it’s my hand.”

After speaking, Ji You quickly put down her foot.

Liu Fufeng suddenly handed over a crutch, saying, ”Ji You, here you go.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You sternly refused, ”My hand is injured, not my foot, I can’t use a crutch.”

Liu Fufeng whispered, ”It’s okay, next time you can make a crutch for the hand, I’ll lend it to you.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You ignored him, turning to look around the Dock. At this moment, Senior Ye Liqiang had already led a team underground, leaving some to guard the surface, among them Xiao Liu.
