Zhu Fan took out a lot of things and had Cheng Tian tidy up her room. After a series of actions, the way those people looked at her became a little strange.
In her room, she overheard the man who looked at her strangely as soon as he heard she was from the SA star system, plotting with Cheng Tian to rob her of her things and dispose of the bodies.
Cheng Tian naturally disagreed: "You also know that she came from the SA star system and brought so many things. She must be a noble with great power. If her family comes looking for her, they will easily find us, and it will kill everyone."
"Doesn't the boss still have an ejection pod? After we take her things, we'll put her in the ejection pod and send her away. There are no good people in the SA star system! Aren't all her things obtained by exploiting ordinary people? We're acting on behalf of heaven by taking them."
Zhu Fan heard such a peculiar reason for robbing someone for the first time.
Although the man was somewhat tempted, he didn't dare to act rashly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. She said she came from the SA star system, and met with an accident while passing by, so she landed on this barren planet. But look at her, there's no sign of injury from an accident. Also, if that's the case, why is there no one around her? Nobles would never be without protection. Her identity is definitely not that simple."
The man was silent for a moment and finally compromised.
Zhu Fan found it amusing.
Fortunately, they didn't plan to act, otherwise she wouldn't have held back.
She thought she had arrived in the evening and it would get dark soon. However, after waiting for a long time, the small skylight above had not changed.
A doubt arose in her heart.
The system said: "Host, SE has no stellar light source like the sun, only an artificial light source, so there is no day and night here. It's always like this."
"Does the SA star system have one?"
"Of course."
"They're back!"
An excited roar from outside immediately attracted Zhu Fan's attention.
She heard the excited shouts of many people outside, as well as the voices of those two children calling for someone, seemingly calling for their mother. Others were asking questions, making a lot of noise.
Someone must have said something, because the clamor suddenly turned into terrified screams.
A sharp female voice said: "Stop shouting and quickly pack your things and evacuate. They'll be here soon."
Zhu Fan sat up. In less than two minutes, someone knocked on her door.
"Fan, can we come in?"
As soon as she spoke, someone violently pushed the door open. Cheng Tian followed behind a woman and walked in, explaining to her: "This is our captain, Zhou. Fan, alien creatures are coming, and we have to leave immediately. Will you go with us?"
Zhu Fan didn't really have any opinion about where to go.
But she didn't want to run around much.
"Where to?"
"I don't know." Zhou's voice was extremely cold. "We'll find a safe place to settle down. A part of your reward has been eaten by them. We can take you with us."
Zhu Fan asked in confusion, "Why run? Can't you drive them away?"
Running away wouldn't necessarily be safe. If she encountered danger on the road, she would still die. So why not drive the aliens away?
The man said sarcastically: "Our weapons can't kill them. Do you think we're like you, with so many good..." Sudan Novel Network
"Stop the nonsense. Do you want to come with us or not?"
Zhu Fan looked at her comfortable big bed: "You go. I'm not going."
It would be more reliable to wait for the main system to take her away.
And Luan Yu, if she ran around, it would be troublesome for Luan Yu to find her.
The woman didn't react much, but Cheng Tian seemed a little worried: "But the aliens will be here soon. Aren't you afraid?"
The woman turned and left: "Then we're leaving."
Cheng Tian left, looking back repeatedly. The people outside seemed accustomed to this nomadic life and quickly packed their belongings and left. In about 20 minutes, the entire small base became quiet.
Zhu Fan lay on the freshly made big bed, looking at the small skylight above.
"Is it always like this here?"
The system replied: "I'm not sure, but the people in the lower levels have been like this for many years. Resources are becoming scarcer, and the main system can't manage everything."
Moreover, most of the nobles were against him, exploiting ordinary people and squeezing their living space. He couldn't kill them directly, so he was almost always yielding, resulting in increasingly difficult lives for these people.
Zhu Fan started thinking about everything that had happened in this world again.
In the previous worlds, there was also a gap between the rich and the poor. But at least in the country where her host was located, there wouldn't be so many people wandering around trying to make a living. Even if life was difficult, as long as they were willing to find a job, they wouldn't starve to death.
But in this world, almost no one cared about them.
From Cheng Tian's words, she could guess that there were many small groups of a dozen or so people like them searching for energy on barren planets, probably countless.
Their lives were full of unknowns, alien monsters that attacked them out of nowhere, dwindling starships, and the constant possibility of being abandoned on some barren planet and dying silently.
From ancient times to the present, and now to the interstellar era, it has always been like this between people.
Zhu Fan suddenly laughed and shook her head: "Humans."
The system was bewildered.
"Host, they're here."
Zhu Fan knew that she wouldn't have peace unless she dealt with those monsters, so she got up and walked out.
The moment she stepped out of the small tent, a long sword appeared in her hand.
Under the gray sky, on the barren land, a group of ugly and bizarre-looking aliens appeared. They were larger and uglier than the ones Zhu Fan had seen in the previous world.
Moreover, as Luan Yu had said, they were organized.
Leading the pack was a creature that was half lion and half tiger. She knew about ligers, but that monster was clearly not a liger. It had three heads. The left and right heads were tiger heads, and the middle one was a lion's head. Its body fur was very messy, with faint tiger stripes visible. There was a mane around its neck, and it walked with imposing majesty.
Behind it followed dozens of monsters, all with unique appearances. No two cats or dogs looked alike. Especially in this group, Zhu Fan saw a creature resembling a 'bei' (a mythological creature often depicted as a wolf's companion), being carried by a giant wolf. It had many heads, more than ten large and small ones, with a cluster of small eyes blinking within its fur, sending shivers down one's spine.
The most numerous among these monsters were a type of alien spider. Apart from the slender legs supporting their massive bodies, they barely resembled spiders. Several of their legs constantly scraped the ground, moving forward rapidly.
