The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1694: Chapter 1694: Proactive Request

”Why?” Ji You touched her chin, then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, ”Because you’re weaker than me?”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi glanced at Ji You, who was so cocky she almost forgot her own name, and couldn’t help but rub his palm, wanting to help her recall again... However, this small matter was temporarily set aside. He Bi thought for a moment and said, ”Could it be that the alien I ate was dead, but you swallowed a living one, so there’s such a big difference?”

Ji You was startled!

Because of He Bi’s words, she suddenly remembered the difference between the two monsters. The alien she swallowed was alive when she did it.

And Senior He Bi, what about him?

The alien he ate was already dead and wilted after she had slain it. Ji You remembered clearly, at the moment of this monster’s death, its entire body shriveled up very quickly.

That’s right.

It really shriveled. He Bi and others couldn’t see the monster, and Ji You couldn’t observe it with the naked eye either, she could only use her spiritual power to observe. When she discovered the monster’s stout body was shrinking and shriveling... Ji You didn’t hesitate and quickly grabbed it!

Ji You didn’t know why she didn’t hesitate, she just acted. She only knew that the monster was completely dead and posed no threat to her.

And—

At that time, the situation for Senior He Bi was very dire. After Ji You stuffed the monster into his mouth, it had already shrunk and shriveled to about the size of a fingernail, and because it was so small, Ji You was able to shove it directly into Senior He Bi’s mouth.

Ji You opened her mouth and said, ”So, live aliens are more nutritious?”

He Bi twitched his mouth: ”What kind of understanding is that?”

Ji You laughed sheepishly, ”My understanding is that simple and straightforward. I ate a live one, so it’s more nutritious. Doesn’t that mean we should try to catch fresh aliens to eat in the future?”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi glared at her and said, ”Without data, how can you make such a conclusion? The difference between living and dead must be supported by data. Besides, the spiritual power and physical strength of the two of us are different, the things we ate are also quite different, and our bodies’ abilities to absorb and draw nutrients, etc., are all different...”

”So—” He Bi paused slightly, then continued, ”I’ll first do a physical examination.”

Ji You asked, ”Are you sure your current physical condition can support an examination?”

He Bi thought for a moment and nodded, ”No problem.”

Ji You said, ”I’ll watch over you.”

He Bi didn’t refuse this time and immediately came out of the repair cabin, lying back on the examination table.

Ji You sat next to him, her eyes fixed unwaveringly on the results.

At the same time—

In the cockpit of spaceship X-N3848, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao... everyone received Ji You’s message. Knowing that Senior He Bi was alright, everyone was relieved.

The spaceship was still in the grid-like room, with all the surrounding grids completely sealed. There wasn’t even a gap that could allow the spaceship to pass.

Unwilling to give up, Shen Changqing and the others continued to study, trying to find a way out of the grid room.

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”The current situation is very tricky. We don’t know when these monsters will appear or how many will show up... Among us, only Ji You can sense them... This is also the most troublesome problem.”

”Having only Ji You is ultimately insufficient. If any accident happens, we’re all in trouble.” Chu Jiaojiao frowned, pacing back and forth in the cockpit with some agitation.

Yue Qiguang said, ”Thinking too much here is useless, it only adds to anxiety. Otherwise, since the grid room is devoid of anything, why don’t I go explore again?”

After he spoke, he eagerly looked at Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others.

Shen Changqing hesitated slightly...

Chu Jiaojiao was a bit tempted, but before she could speak, a lazy voice sounded from behind: ”I’ll go... I’ll go with you.”

Hmm?

Yue Qiguang turned around in surprise, looking at Sheng Qingyan with great shock.

You should know, this guy is a standard lazybones, preferring to lie down than sit, and to sit than stand...

For Sheng Qingyan to be willing to go out with him, did it suggest that he also leaned towards the idea that this outing might not be safe?

Yue Qiguang stared at Sheng Qingyan, who raised a hand to cover his mouth and let out an extremely ungraceful yawn, then said to Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao and others, ”I’ll go with Ah Guang, you guys just stay on the spaceship and wait for our good news.”

Shen Changqing hesitated slightly: ”Ji You and Senior He Bi haven’t come out yet, is it too risky for you to go now?”

Sheng Qingyan’s expression suddenly turned serious, ”We’re a team. Shouldn’t we always wait for them to protect us? Staying in this cramped little space, waiting for an uncertain future, is that what we’re supposed to do?”

His dark, pretty eyes stared at Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan curled his lips into a slight smile: ”No, that’s you, not me. I won’t sit here and await doom.”

Shen Changqing pursed his lips.

At this moment, Sheng Qingyan suddenly switched on the intercom and spoke to Ji You in the security inspection cabin: ”Hey, poor dead, I’m gonna head out with Ah Guang, do you agree?”

Yue Qiguang stood by nervously, afraid Ji You might disagree, and shouted directly, ”4444, hurry up and agree, or I’ll immediately strip you of your captain’s hat.”

Ji You: ”Huh?”

Yue Qiguang quickly cleared his throat, ”You misheard, I meant make a quick decision, should we go out, or not? Just one word, don’t dawdle.”

Saying this, Yue Qiguang paced around the cockpit anxiously, afraid Ji You might disagree.

At that moment, Ji You suddenly laughed, ”Okay.”

”Hmm?” Shen Changqing was taken aback, ”Ji You, letting them out now, won’t it repeat what happened to Senior He Bi with the spiritual silk being parasitized?”

Ji You shook her head, ”I’m not sure, but there’s nothing like that nearby. I believe within at least the next five minutes, nothing will appear.”

Shen Changqing, hearing this, was immediately reassured.

Then.

Shen Changqing grasped the control panel’s buttons with both hands, his fingers tightened and said, ”I’ll go out with Ayan.”

”Huh?” Yue Qiguang thought he misheard, raised his hand, and dug at his ear: ”Are you poaching on someone else’s activity?”

Shen Changqing, slightly embarrassed, said, ”Ah Guang, I think it’s more suitable for me and Ayan to go out.”

Ah Guang’s spiritual power was the lowest among them, if they encountered danger, he might not react in time, possibly ending up as a liability.

So...

Ah Guang really shouldn’t go out.
