Chapter 236: Chapter 237: Desperate Escape Chapter 236: Chapter 237: Desperate Escape Zuo Zhi really wanted to retort, “Why don’t you block it!”

But they didn’t have time.

“Ah——”
Zuo Zhi blocked Ha Ha’s claw, but he was instantly knocked backward, smashing several big trees.

At that moment, You Zhi finally took out his laser gun and aimed it at Ha Ha, ready to fire.

“No! My gun!”

A vine, coming from nowhere, wrapped around the laser gun and dragged it away.

You Zhi watched helplessly as his gun was hung on a tree, and Ha Ha’s other claw reached him.

“Ah——”
Another flung You Zhi.

“Zuo Zhi, run!”

You Zhi didn’t want to resist anymore; this planet was too bizarre.

He had never heard of sentient trees.

Now, in his eyes, every tree nearby was unsafe, at any moment one could suddenly lash out.

Zuo Zhi also heard You Zhi’s shout, spat out some blood, covered his stomach that now had a bloody hole, and attempted to run.

But Ha Ha was not about to let him go; the attack continued.

“I’m fighting back!” Whether out of desperation or not, Zuo Zhi took out his laser gun and aimed it at Ha Ha.

You Zhi only managed to see another vine come along and, just the same, drag Zuo Zhi’s gun away, hanging it in a tree.

“Damn it! This is insane!” You Zhi gritted his teeth and took out his mecha, just about to climb in when an unknown small robot appeared.

He watched as this small robot, the size of a palm, climbed onto his mecha, just tampered with something, and the mecha’s lights went off.

You Zhi was utterly dumbfounded.

What kind of place was this?

Why were there so many inexplicable things?

By then, Zuo Zhi had been toyed with by Ha Ha until he was barely alive.

You Zhi, for some reason, just watched as his costly mecha was reduced to a pile of scrap metal right before his eyes.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save him, but that small robot had slipped inside the cockpit and even locked the door.

He simply couldn’t reach it.

You Zhi looked around at the surrounding big trees, then at the white wolf in front of him, and again at the ruined mecha.

All this had happened within minutes, and he was somewhat dazed–is this even real?

Did he still need to resist?

Was he even capable of resisting?

With Level 4 Physical Ability, equivalent to a punch of 800 Jin, could he defeat that wolf?

The answer was obviously no.

Ha Ha’s level was close to an S rank, and in the interstellar realm, Level 7 Physical Ability meant 200 Jin punching power, Level 6 was 400 Jin, Level 5 was 600 Jin, and Level 4 was 800 Jin.

This was the lower tier of cultivation, but once you reached the third tier, the punching power would increase exponentially.

Level 3 was 1600 Jin, Level 2 was 3200 Jin, Level 1 was 6400 Jin.

Understanding the crushing disparity, You Zhi gave up.

What was the point in running?

His weapons were gone, his mecha was gone.

He never wanted to visit this planet again, assuming he could still live.

The two brothers were nearly beaten to death by Ha Ha, and after a while even Ha Ha lost interest as they didn’t resist at all, just like dolls, not fun.

Eventually, like two battered dolls, the brothers were thrown on the ground by Ha Ha.

They both saw the disdainful look in Ha Ha’s eyes, and they even understood it.

Zuo Zhi: Big brother, is he despising us?

You Zhi: “You’re not mistaken, it is deep disdain.”

Just as the two were about to climb back into the flying device, that little robot appeared again, a small drill swiftly circled around both their arms–a twist later, their space buttons were gone.

The brothers didn’t dare say a word; this planet was too strange, frighteningly so.

Although they were severely injured, they were not dead.

The physical ability of interstellar people is genuinely high; the two persevered and managed to climb back into the flying device, thankfully it wasn’t damaged.

The moment they climbed into the flying device, they didn’t want to stay a second longer; they left.

A flying device soon disappeared into the skies above Blue Star.

As for seeking people out, whoever wants to, can go.

Once the flying device had left the airspace of Blue Star, Nian Shutong emerged from the woods with Fu Yunhe, Dou Dou, and Rubble, her tone tinged with unspoken remorse.

“This is way too weak; I didn’t even get to use the rest of the script.”

Fu Yunhe cooperated, saying, “Don’t worry, we’ll come back.”

Nian Shutong agreed, “That’s true.”

“Xiao He, go back and sort out the matters of the Nian Family; I want to know.”

“Rest assured.”

Fu Yunhe admired Nian Shutong’s preparedness; you can’t just wait for the enemy to show up. If it’s an adversary, better to nip them in the bud.

“Ms. Nian Shutong, two space buttons; Rubble couldn’t remove the spiritual power binding.”

Rubble, holding the space buttons delivered by the small robot, handed them to Nian Shutong.

Nian Shutong took them, casually swept them with her Divine Sense, and the spiritual power binding was gone.

She checked them over and said somewhat dissatisfiedly, “There’s nothing good.”

“Not a single crystal stone, but some material, at least.” She handed the space buttons back to Rubble.

“Here, take it.”

“Thank you, Ms. Nian Shutong.”

Nian Shutong waved her hand, pointing at the small robot on Rubble’s shoulder, “This thing, can it dismantle any mecha?”

This was her first encounter with the small robot, and she had a feeling that most of the money given to Rubble must have been spent on this little guy.

“Still not possible,” Rubble seriously replied, “Ms. Nian Shutong, if this feature is desired, please provide crystal stones for an upgrade, and I’ll need three hundred billion Star Coins for buying the materials.”

“Stop!” Nian Shutong’s heart felt uneasy hearing that figure.

Three hundred billion? Farming is too hard; better to turn to robbery!

Robbery?

For some reason, Nian Shutong thought this might be a good path to wealth.

She temporarily noted it in her mind.

As Nian Shutong flipped her wrist, three crystal stones appeared in her palm.

“One for Rubble, one for Ha Ha, one for Big Bird.”

These three had contributed their efforts.

She then looked towards Fu Yunhe and asked, “Do you need a crystal stone?”

Fu Yunhe shook his head.

“Not at the moment.” He was holding off on supplementation.

“So the beauty not only earns money but saves it too.”

Nian Shutong distributed the crystal stones to the others and began leading everyone back.

The battlefield here wasn’t cleaned up either; she left Big Bird to watch over it. In case it attracted any animals, it could add some meat to their table.

The residents of the small wooden house, from start to finish, hadn’t exerted any effort–a bit disappointing.

And as for the brothers of the Nian Family, upon reaching the Transfer Station, they first went to the treatment tank of the station.

Fortunately, they were mostly externally wounded; even if vital organs were affected, one trip to the treatment tank should do the trick.

As for finding people, they would report to the Housekeeper after getting healed.

Staying alive was more important for now.
