Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Saran slowly awoke in the medical room.

"Awake? You've been asleep for three days, but you're in better shape than the others. Most of the rescued slaves are still asleep, and they all have accumulated countless hidden injuries."

Saran spoke in a hoarse voice.

"water..."

"Don't worry, I just woke up. I've prepared some glucose water to help him recover his strength."

A young, pink fox wearing a white coat handed Saran a cup of sugar water.

"Where...where am I? Who are you?"

"This is the Third Medical Department of the Yaoqingyun Cavalry. My name is Jiaoqiu, and I am a newly appointed physician in charge of the recovery of patients in this area."

"Pepper Hill...where is the shooting star?"

The pink-haired peppercorn with squinty eyes paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"You're talking about Mr. Cheng Xiao, right? Back then, those light arrows that killed the enemy fell into the enemy ranks like a meteor shower. It was truly beautiful. I'm so glad I participated in this war, so I was able to witness such a magnificent sight."

"Unfortunately, you are in Yaoqing, while Mr. Chengxiao has probably already returned to the Cloud Cavalry Fleet in Luofu."

After receiving the reply, Saran was still in a daze, but she knew Meteor's identity, and that was enough.

"Where is Ningli...?"

Jiaoqiu chuckled:

"Are you referring to your companion? Her injuries are much more serious. She has a laceration in her lower back that has been festering for a long time, leading to inflammation and infection. Fortunately, she received timely treatment and is now out of danger and resting."

"Waist and abdomen?"

Saran recalled the bloodthirsty and warlike wolves who had enslaved them and took pleasure in bullying the fox-people.

Ningli was scratched by her, but she said she was fine, which is clearly a lie!

"I...I need to see her!"

Pepper Hill, who had been all smiles, suddenly looked troubled.

"I know you are troubled, but you can't move around freely right now, so you should rest well. You have too many hidden injuries accumulated over the years, and even with the fox people's self-healing ability, it will take some time to recover."

Saran, losing his motivation, shrugged.

"What does it smell like? It smells so good."

Her stomach started rumbling.

Jiaoqiu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh dear, I'm cooking hot pot. Sorry, sorry, it's a bit inappropriate to eat hot pot in the medical ward~"

Saran: "..."

"Can I have some?"

Saran asked cautiously, explaining that she was extremely hungry, her stomach was empty, and she was only surviving on some kind of nutrient solution.

The doctor fox named Jiaoqiu in front of me seems alright; he should agree, right?

"No, the patient can't eat spicy food."

Jiaoqiu spoke righteously about the dietary restrictions during his recuperation.

However, Saran was somewhat suspicious of the way the food was guarded.

She's illiterate, don't lie to her.

A short while later, the tent flap was lifted, and General Yueyu walked inside.

"Jiaoqiu, you've just been transferred from cook to medic, why are you still keeping these bad habits? Who eats hot pot in the army? And you're eating it all by yourself?"

"General, I'm innocent! I was using the aroma to stimulate the patients' appetite and activate their life force."

"Pah! You think you can fool me?! Hurry up and share the food with your colleagues, or you can forget about keeping your hot pot restaurant open."

"No, no, oh dear, General, why take it so seriously? I'll just share."

Seeing Jiaoqiu yield, Yueyu nodded in satisfaction and looked at the awakened Saran.

She pounced on Cheng Xiao's leg amidst the crowd of slaves; it would be hard for Yue Yu not to remember her.

In addition, it has a similar hair color to her own, except that Saran has a bit more bluish ends.

This is fate!

Back then, Jingyuan shared his experience of being accepted as a disciple, and Jingliu also emphasizes fate.

As a result of this fate, Jingyuan became a general.

She wanted to see if fate was really that mysterious.

Let's observe this little fox from Saran's talent and temperament first. If she's willing to join the Cloud Riders, Yue Yu won't mind guiding her.

In Saran's eyes, the dashing and domineering Yueyu is a fox standing next to a meteor.

She understood that Yue Yu was the general of the Immortal Ship and the leader of this war. Without her leading the Cloud Cavalry in the conquest, Saran might already be a corpse.

After a long silence, Yue Yu spoke first:

"Little fox cub, you look to be only a teenager. What are your plans for the future?"

Saran kept her head down; she didn't know either.

"Do I...do I have a choice?"

"Of course there is! Do you think this place is still hell? You are now a part of the Immortal Ship. Even if you don't want to stay on the Immortal Ship in the future, you will still have to spend at least ten years repaying the Immortal Ship's kindness before you can leave."

Yue Yu provided a detailed explanation of the Immortal Ship's policies:

"As a rescued slave, you can choose to settle down on the Immortal Ship and become a part of it. If you do not wish to stay on the Immortal Ship, we will not force you to stay. However, this aid is equivalent to a transaction, exchanging ten years of work for freedom."

"What if...what if you don't want to spend ten years?"

Yue Yu's expression turned cold.

"Unwilling? You heartless bastard! But we will treat your illness with humanitarian care, and what happens afterward is none of our business. We help the innocent, but we are not pushovers."

"You think it takes a lot of resources to rescue slaves? It's astronomical! Making you work for ten years is like paying off medical bills! Not even counting food and lodging. There are few in the entire universe more benevolent than our Celestial Ship!"

Saran's eyes sparkled. Yes, how could the place where the meteor was located be a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire?

Seeing that the time was right, Yue Yu asked:

"You little fox, are you going to work in logistics, or join the Cloud Cavalry and fight these monstrous creatures with us?"

"I! I want to join the Cloud Cavalry!"

Saran said without hesitation.

"Really? This is a place where life and death intertwine, not a game. It's safer to go to the logistics department."

"No! I want to become stronger! That way...that way I can drive away those wolves, and that way I can chase after shooting stars!"

"Hahaha, you silly child, you silly child~ Alright, from now on I'll be your teacher!"

"Teacher? What does 'teacher' mean?"

Yue Yu: "?"

Oh dear family, her disciple seems to be illiterate.

"The first thing to do when you join Yunqi is to read books! At the very least, you need to have basic common sense."

"read?!"

......

Inside the Luofu Immortal Boat, Cheng Xiao had already returned.

Jing Yuan sat in the Shence Mansion and laughed:

"Uncle-Master, you must be tired from your journey. Please sit down and I'll make you some tea."

Cheng Xiao sat down, about to report on the military situation, when Jing Yuan waved his hand.

"If it were intelligence from the front lines, I would already know. I am truly happy that my martial uncle is helping Yao Qing's ally this time. With my martial uncle here, Luo Fu will surely prosper!"

Cheng Xiao glanced sideways at Jing Yuan:

"Spit it out."

"Hehe, I have two theater tickets here. Uncle-Master, would you like to go to the theater and listen to a storytelling performance with me tomorrow?"

"Jingyuan, the battle at the front has just ended!"

"These are two different things, they don't conflict."

"What about official business?"

"Fu Qing will handle it."

Fu Xuan: "?"
