Du Yue thought that she had hidden her emotions well, but not long after, Xia Ju came over excitedly. “Du Yue, you’ve been acting a little strange these few days.”

Du Yue frowned. “Why do you say that?”

When Xia Ju heard this, she said with a mysterious expression, “There are four words clearly written on your face—’I miss my hometown.’

Du Yue had told Xia Ju that she and He Xing came from the first base a long time ago. After hearing Xia Ju’s words, Du Yue reached out to touch her face and turned to look at Xia Ju.

After staring at her for a while, Du Yue said, “There are three words on your face.”

Xia Ju frowned slightly and looked at Du Yue in confusion. “What three words?” “A stupid beauty!” Xia Ju was speechless. She was indeed a beauty, but who was the stupid one?

Xia Ju looked at Du Yue angrily. “Why are you calling me stupid?”

“Because you’re not very smart.” Du Yue smiled.

“Alright, then you’ll have a taste of the idiot’s power today!” Xia Ju said as she pounced forward. The two of them instantly fought. Fortunately, the car was sturdy enough. Even if the two of them rolled around in the back, it would not affect the car at all.

From the rearview mirror, He Xing saw the two of them wrestling with each other without caring about their image. He shook his head helplessly. On the evening of the third day, the convoy entered Qinghe territory. They were not far from the first base. Du Yue and He Xing were getting more familiar with the route. They believed that they would reach the first base in no time. Du Yue, who had been a little nervous before, no longer had the time to experience this feeling of being close to home. The reason was very simple. Ever since they arrived at the Qinghe territory, everything they saw were bugs!

Seeing these densely packed bugs again after several years, Du Yue still found it difficult to accept. She felt uncomfortable all over.

When they left, the bug disaster was fierce. Why was the insect plague still not resolved after such a long time? Du Yue was very puzzled. No one could give her an answer. It was the first time that the people from the fourth base had seen such a scene. They got out of the car and stepped on a few bugs. When they heard the explosion, they were all stunned. Du Yue had thought that they would be frightened by this scene. After all, these bugs could be seen everywhere. Not only were they terrifying, but they were also very disgusting.

However, it was obvious that Du Yue did not know them well enough. Although Sun Yu and his people could eat their fill in the fourth base, they had not eaten meat for a long time. The base also raised poultry, but people like them had no chance to eat them. It had been many years since they had eaten meat. Now that they saw the bugs flying all over the sky, they only felt that this was a protein bestowed by the heavens. Everyone’s eyes could not help but light up. There was no need to mention how excited they were. Du Yue and the other two sat in the car and watched Sun Yu and his men catch the bugs excitedly. They felt that the joys and sorrows of humans were different.

Xia Ju could not help but be curious in the car. It was her first time seeing so many bugs! There were indeed bugs in the galaxy, but they were completely different from this type of bug. If they really wanted to compare, Xia Ju could not say which was more powerful. In any case, the degree of disgust was comparable.

Sun Yu and his men caught bugs for more than an hour. Only when their bags were filled with bugs did the group stop. Sun Yu excitedly walked toward them with a bag filled with bugs and knocked on the car window. He Xing rolled down the window halfway and heard Sun Yu say with a smile, “These bugs are all edible. I’m giving some to you guys.”

He Xing shook his head decisively.

Although they knew that the other party had good intentions, the three of them really could not accept it. Not to mention that the three of them had never lacked meat to eat, even if they lacked protein, they would not be able to eat these bugs. Sun Yu saw that He Xing was not just being polite. He really did not want them, so he did not persuade him anymore. He put the bag away and said with a smile, “Alright, then I’ll share it with everyone.”

Seeing Sun Yu turn around and leave, He Xing hesitated for a moment before deciding to stop him. “There are all kinds of bugs here. You’d better make sure they’re not poisonous before you eat them.”

Sun Yu nodded seriously. “Don’t worry, we won’t eat anything casually. Our lives are important.”

There were scientists and experts in various fields among the people who came this time, so there was no need to worry about this..
