"Energy exhausted, are you ready to make a forced landing?"

"Energy exhausted, are you ready to make a forced landing?"

"Energy exhausted, are you ready to..."

Red light flashes in the cockpit, and a mechanical sound warns again and again.

The man in the driver's seat crossed his legs and leaned back in the driver's seat. Even in such a critical situation, there was not much panic. He stared for a long time at the slowly spinning grey planet within view from the driver's window.

After a long time, it seems that he finally made some kind of difficult decision. The man brushed the short hair in front of his forehead with one hand, leaned forward slightly, and slowly covered the eye-catching light with his well-defined palm. The red button is pressed.

A deep voice echoed in the cockpit: "Crash landing!"

"The emergency landing procedure is starting, please fasten your seat belt..."

The high-speed shuttle ignited the last fuel, the thrusters roared, and rushed towards the gray planet at full speed—

A meteor streaks across the long night on Junk Star B3024. Then, from the depths of the mountain-like garbage dump, there was a loud explosion.

The residents at the edge looked up and looked back as if nothing had happened. Such sights are no longer surprising on this planet.

Junk Star B3024, as its name suggests, is the waste disposal center of Capital Star. These piles of waste, transported from the capital, are always disposed of in the middle of the night, often making noises that disturb the residents. They have become used to it.

(T/N- No clue what this means and why they included it)

He was about to close the cabin but suddenly noticed the end further away from him. There was a small, fluffy, white ball curled up. The snow-white fur almost integrated with the snow-white bulkhead.

Ruan Shiqing walked to the other end, leaned over to check, and was surprised to find that it was a weak animal cub.

The cub's fur was white and fluffy, the small head hidden under the belly, and the fluffy tail wrapped around the whole body; wrapping itself tightly into a ball. Only the top of the head showed a pair of triangular ears with rounded and blunt tips that looked soft to the touch, much like Snowball, the pet dog he once kept.

Snowball was a Samoyed, and it was a white and fluffy ball when it was a pup.

The familiar feeling made Ruan Shiqing feel soft. He carefully picked up the dog, only to find that he was not asleep, but injured. The puppy's tightly curled abdomen had a fist-sized bloody hole, the flesh was curled, and the oxidized blood coagulated into black clots on the fur around the wound. Such a terrible injury occupied almost the entire abdomen of the puppy. If not for the warm body temperature and the imperceptible heaving of his abdomen, it almost made one think he was dead.

Ruan Shiqing thought of the man he saw last night. The other side had also suffered a very serious injury to his abdomen, but at this time the other side may have been treated by his companions, and this poor little brat could only be abandoned on the aircraft, struggling alone, and finally dying.

As if he was struggling alone in this different world where no future in sight, Ruan Shiqing's heart was sour, he held the puppy in his arms, and said softly, "Since no one wants you, just come home with me."
