The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: Manmade

Ji You called Dr. Luo.

The phone rang for a while, but no one answered.

Ji You frowned, thought for a moment, and was about to call Principal Hong. Just then, her Light Computer received a new message, Ji You opened it to see it was from Dr. Luo.

Dr. Luo: [I was just nearby, saw that you all weren’t in danger, and left on my own. After you circle back, just return.]

"What?" Yue Qiguang leaned over to look, and upon seeing it, immediately understood something: "So, she just watched me encounter danger and did nothing?"

Ji You asked, "What do you want her to do?"

Yue Qiguang was clearly speechless.

Yeah. What should Dr. Luo do? None of us are babies who still need nursing, should the teacher have to instruct us hand-in-hand on how to fight monsters?

If we can’t beat the monsters, do we still expect teachers to catch the monsters and bring them to us to beat up?

Thinking about this scene made Yue Qiguang even more embarrassed.

As a result, Ji You showed no tact, obviously knowing that Yue Qiguang was feeling ashamed, but deliberately said, "If you feel that you absolutely need Dr. Luo, that’s okay too, you just won’t graduate for the rest of your life."

Yue Qiguang retorted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, how could Dad not graduate?"

Ji You suddenly spoke seriously, "Attention everyone, the spaceship is about to change course."

Everyone sat up straight and focused on their respective tasks.

Then.

Ji You adjusted the direction, flying steadily towards the northern hemisphere. Something that slightly relaxed Ji You’s tense nerves was that after traveling for a while, they didn’t encounter anyone else and found no signs of people being trapped. However, they did come across dozens of solitary black bears, mostly level 1-3, occasionally spotting one or two level 4s.

"These black bears, they all look very agitated, like they’re in a panic," said Yue Qiyuan, sitting in the co-pilot seat, staring at the monitor, he voiced his doubt, "I get the feeling they’re very dissatisfied with the current environment."

As soon as he said this, Chu Jiaojiao immediately said, "I feel the same way."

Yue Qiguang said in a deep voice, "So what?"

Yue Qiyuan frowned slightly, saying, "So, they’re not natives of planet 381."

"What?" Yue Qiguang didn’t understand.

Chu Jiaojiao said, "Which means these black bears were not bred from the original black bear population on planet 381."

Yue Qiguang: "???"

Yue Qiyuan glanced at his dim-witted brother, saying seriously, "We suspect these black bears were intentionally released by someone."

"Ha?!!!" Yue Qiguang jumped in shock and said angrily, "Who would do such a thing?" Even if all the resources of garbage planet 381 are exhausted and it is temporarily abandoned without value, as long as it is given time to recover, it will have other value one day.

This is also why, to date, all garbage planets and abandoned planets in the eight major star systems occupied by humans are still within the protection scope of the Alliance, the Empire, and other regions...

These territories, as long as they are within the eight major star systems, whether garbage planets or abandoned planets... must be defended by humans, unwilling to give an inch.

This is the agreement decided by all human governments together, through discussion and negotiation, finally hammered out.

Now, hearing that people suspect someone has released mutated black bears on garbage planet 381, Yue Qiguang thinks it’s very hateful, also very absurd.

Ji You, who had been focused on controlling the spaceship, suddenly said, "Little Guangguang, you—"

She paused, her eyes full of pity, looking at Yue Qiguang, who was puzzled and angry, saying, "Hey! 4444, what do you want to say? Don’t look at Dad with those creepy eyes filled with nonsense."

Ji You said, "You—you might as well just get a small stool and quietly crack sunflower seeds."

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Yue Qiyuan raised his hand, rubbed his temples, and said, "Bro, you should listen to her." Otherwise, if you keep talking, it might make people misunderstand the intelligence of our Yue Family.

Oh!

Yue Qiyuan wasn’t too worried about being dragged down by his dim-witted brother. After growing up like this, he’s become numb to being dragged down, what else could he do? Just try to persuade him to say less.

Seeing his dim-witted brother about to jump, Yue Qiyuan quickly said, "The implication of being artificially released doesn’t necessarily mean it’s humans who did it, could be other creatures, right?"

Yue Qiguang’s eyes widened: "!!! What are you saying? Other creatures? Could there really be other intelligent life forms in this universe besides us?"

Bullshit.

Even those Star Beasts that give countless humans headaches are eventually no more than mindless beasts, devoid of intelligence aside from sheer destructive power.

Aliens?

There have been countless speculations about aliens, even back when all of humanity was still trapped on Ancient Earth. But unfortunately, to this day, humans have still not discovered any other intelligent species besides themselves. None, even though humans have never stopped seeking aliens, making discoveries, exploring everything alien-related, nothing.

That’s why Yue Qiguang never made such associations.

Giving a stupid look, Yue Qiguang glanced at his dim-witted brother, and then at Ji You in the cockpit, also at Chu Jiaojiao. Noticing that all three were pondering heavily, he rolled his eyes and said: "Come on, stop all these nonsensical thoughts. If aliens really released these damn Star Beasts on purpose, why don’t they go to more crowded places? Why bother with such remote corners?"

"Just speculation." Ji You said softly, "After all, the universe has endless possibilities, right?"

Yue Qiguang sneered lightly, saying, "I’d rather believe it’s human action."

"It’s human action."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, then turned to the speaker, who was Sheng Qingyan, who had been sleeping all this time.

In the spaceship cockpit, there were only Ji You, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao, and Sheng Qingyan, who had been sleeping in a small medical cabin. A Ke, Liu Ming, and others were arranged in the hall.

Given the sensitivity of the discussion topic, they didn’t involve A Ke and others.

Just then, the door of the medical cabin suddenly opened, and Sheng Qingyan, supporting himself on the ladder, walked out. He still looked pale, lips bloodless, but his overall condition had improved a lot.

His body didn’t suffer much damage; it was his Spiritual World that had been injured. Mental damage couldn’t be repaired in such a short time, requiring a longer period to recover. To speed up the process, one would have to utilize a lot of Soul Devices or consume foods, herbs... Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that are beneficial for spiritual power.

Facing all the turned heads, Sheng Qingyan firmly said, "It’s human action."
