Section 692

The old woman's smile grew even wider on her face, sweeping her gaze over the few people with immense relief.

She didn't say much.

Immediately, she disregarded her own image and began to gobble down the food.

A full ten bottles of high-substance compressed nutrient water; a full twenty servings of meals made from animal meat that had been fed Heaven And Earth Treasure as a staple, with Heaven And Earth Treasure as seasoning—all were eaten completely clean.

A Biological Captain also needs to eat.

No matter how strong the opponent is.

Of course, the stronger a Biological Captain is, the more robust their Physical Body is, and the nutrients contained within their Physical Body allow them to go for a long time without eating; they won't easily starve to death.

For example, Xu Zi'an, his Physical Body strength is extremely high.

Even if he doesn't eat for a year or two now, he won't starve to death.

But the problem is, he won't starve to death.

However, his cultivation will stagnate.

And his physical condition will be severely damaged; to recover, he would need more time and more Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Otherwise, he would never be able to improve his cultivation in this life.

Although they didn't know how many days this Human Race Senior had gone without food.

But it was estimated that this period of time would certainly not be short.

As for this high-substance compressed nutrient water, and these highly nutritious meals.

They were specifically provided for Biological Captains to eat.

In fact, the daily meals Xu Zi'an and the others usually ate were also these things.

Because ordinary meals, the nutrients contained within them, were simply not enough to provide what a Biological Captain needed.

The few of them didn't speak, just quietly waiting for the old woman to finish her food.

After she drank one bottle of water, the Ladies handed her another.

After she finished one portion of food, they handed her another.

After ten bottles of water and twenty portions of food.

The old woman finally stopped with a satisfied expression, letting out a long sigh of turbid Qi.

Her eyes scanned everyone, her lips moved, and then she spoke in a somewhat unpracticed tone: “I haven’t spoken to anyone in tens of thousands of years.”

“I also haven’t eaten anything for thirty years.”

“I was a bit out of sorts; I hope you don’t mind.”

The old woman’s tone was so unpracticed that if one didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't understand what she was saying at all.

Xu Zi'an quickly said, “Senior, we understand.”

“It’s just that we didn’t expect you to have been stranded here for such a long time…”

The old woman gave a bitter smile and said, “More than tens of thousands of years.”

“I only said I haven’t spoken to anyone in tens of thousands of years.”

“Actually… when I first fell into this place, I still had a teammate!”

“Later, he died and gave me the hope of survival.”

“Truly calculating it… it’s probably already two hundred thousand years…”

As she spoke, a trace of sorrow flashed in the old woman’s eyes.

That kind of deep-seated sorrow cast a heavy shadow over the joy of suddenly meeting compatriots.

Two hundred thousand years.

A full two hundred thousand years!

Xu Zi'an and the others couldn't help but be moved.

Perhaps, Xu Zi'an and the others have extremely long lifespans.

Even two hundred thousand years might not be much.

But!

When truly calculated.

Among them, the oldest was Tai Ji.

Currently, she had only lived for less than sixty years!

Xu Zi'an, Qin Fuyue, and the others were the youngest.

Only a little over twenty years old!

They were still several years short of thirty!

Two hundred thousand years was an unimaginably vast number to them.

Let alone two hundred thousand years.

Even being trapped here for twenty years!

To them, it would be a huge torment!

What's more.

For the last tens of thousands of years.

The old woman had been alone.

It was hard to imagine.

To what extent her willpower was firm.

Seeing the few people silent, the old woman also fell silent.

After a long while, she sighed faintly and whispered, “My name is Shi Lingzhen.”

“Although I don’t know how you all fell into this place…”

“But I suppose you haven’t been trapped here for long, have you?”

“Alas, I can only say your luck is too bad.”

“Once you’re here, you’ll never be able to get out in this lifetime…”

“What a pity, truly a pity…”

Shi Lingzhen’s tone was filled with regret.

Although she couldn't tell exactly how old Xu Zi'an and the others were.

She could tell that Xu Zi'an and the others were likely not very old.

Outside, they would at least be top-tier Geniuses, or even Prodigies.

Yet they were trapped here.

One could only say that fate played tricks on people.

Just as she said.

In this life, there was no hope of getting out.

After all.

She had tried for a full two hundred thousand years.

For a full two hundred thousand years, she had not found the way home.

She had long since despaired.

Originally, she had already prepared to await the arrival of death.

Unexpectedly, at almost the very last stage, she encountered people.

And, they were excellent descendants of her Human Race!

Listening to her words, Xu Zi'an didn't explain anything.

His gaze swept over her starship, and suddenly his eyes moved.

An extremely bold idea suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He immediately asked loudly, “Senior Shi, may I ask if your starship… exploded, or is it just severely damaged?!”

Xu Zi'an’s tone carried anticipation and excitement.

Shi Lingzhen looked at Xu Zi'an with confusion, but she still replied, “Only damaged.”

After a pause, Shi Lingzhen added, “However, it’s no different from having exploded, because it can’t be operated anymore.”

“More than three thousand years ago, after a battle with the Insectoid Race, my Evolution Points were completely depleted.”

“Under the baptism of the spatial rift, it’s almost completely scrapped.”

Xu Zi'an, however, was excited in his heart.
