Cannibal Scavengers

Although he was only staying for a few days to recover, Xia Yu still took out some things from the ring and exchanged some daily necessities for some items in Tate's small house.

On the third day after Xia Yu woke up, Xia Yu took out a bathtub and produced a large amount of bottled water, which was extremely precious in Tate's eyes. Tate was completely speechless.

Although Sakaar does have a city where the inhabitants are considered relatively wealthy, the Sakaar is mostly populated by scavengers scattered throughout its junkyards.

The garbage dump is their home, and garbage is their only source of sustenance, whether it's food or other necessities.

Although Xia Yu had taken out enough food from the ring in the past day or two to last the two of them a month, Tate's consciousness was still not ready to switch back to normal.

So when Xia Yu emptied the bathwater and filled the tub with water again, forcing Tate to take a bath, Tate even secretly drank a few mouthfuls of the bathwater.

Xia Yu, who had seen it unconsciously, chuckled to himself. It always takes time to adapt; this child has suffered too much these past ten years.

Thor couldn't find the coordinates here, but luckily Rocket knew the way.

During his numerous escape attempts with the Rockets, he repeatedly used Sakaar as his final refuge.

In his words, coordinates are meaningless in Sakaar; one must traverse several hidden wormholes to reach it.

Xia Yu had no choice but to let Thor go and meet up with them first. He would stay with Tate for the next few days to recover from his injuries, and they could figure out a way to enter the city once he was fully healed.

These past two days have probably been the most relaxing time Tate has ever had. Not only do she not have to go out and pick up trash, but she also has delicious and clean food and water, and she can even take a shower.

This filled Tate with hope for the future, and he also felt that his act of saving Xia Yu was incredibly wise.

"Xia, once your friend arrives, are you sure you can take me with you? I heard that leaving Sakaar requires Grandmaster's approval."

Xia Yu gently patted Tate's head, feeling a pang of sympathy; the boy was filled with insecurity.

"Don't worry, nothing on this planet can stop me."

Xia Yu said confidently.

Xia Yu has now recovered at least half of his strength, and in two more days at most, Xia Yu will be fully recovered. With Thor and the others joining him, Xia Yu doesn't think that the strength of Grandmaster can stop him.

Although the Grandmasters are known as Elders of the Universe, Xia Yu doesn't care about their strength at all. At least in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Elders of the Universe are indeed not very strong.

Tate nodded. Although he still didn't quite believe that Xia Yu could fight against the Grandmaster who ruled the planet, Xia Yu was his only way out; there was no other way.

"My mother will bless me!"

Tate thought to himself.

"Tate, it's been days since we've seen you come out to work for us. So this is your little haven."

The curtain was lifted, and two strange-looking people entered. Their skin was ashen, like dark rocks, and their faces were full of grooves, making them look like irregularly shaped pieces of coal, the worst kind at that.

When Tate saw the two people enter, he instinctively hid behind Xia Yu, seemingly quite afraid of them.

Xia Yu glanced at the two men, then turned to Tate and asked, "Weren't they the ones who hit you a few days ago?"

"There's someone here! This meat looks delicious. Kid, hand this person over to us, and we'll give you three days off. You don't have to work for us."

When the two of them suddenly saw Xia Yu, their first thought was to eat him, and drool even appeared on their lips.

Tell me, did they hit you?

Xia Yu didn't even bother to glance at the two people; instead, he turned back to Tate and continued asking.

Perhaps it was Xia Yu's calm demeanor that gave Tate courage; Little Tate nodded and pointed a finger at the person on his left.

"Very good!"

Xia Yu turned around and looked at the person on his left.

Seeing that Xia Yu ignored them, the two men pulled out their guns and pointed them at Xia Yu.

"We're talking to you, stranger. You'd better come with us, or we'll kill you right now. While you don't taste as good alive, freshly killed meat makes a nice soup."

The one on the left spoke to Xia Yu, and as he spoke, he seemed to remember something, a drool visibly dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, you were drooling over me. I just wanted Tate to beat you up."

Xia Yu extended a finger and pointed it lightly at the person who had just spoken. A beam of energy shot out from Xia Yu's fingertip and instantly pierced through the person's head.

A wound running from front to back appeared on his forehead.

The scavenger who had come with him yelled and pulled the trigger at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu reached out to protect Tate behind him, letting the scavenger fire wildly at him.

More than a dozen beams of energy shot into Xia Yu's body, but Xia Yu's skin color didn't even change. The scavenger looked at the gun in his hand in panic, wondering if there was something wrong with his weapon. The scene before him was beyond his imagination.

There couldn't possibly be someone like that among the scavengers of Sakaar. If he wasn't a scavenger, why would he be here?

He was puzzled.

Unfortunately, he never got the answer.

"Have you had enough? It's my turn."

Xia Yu, just like before, used one finger to finish off the remaining guy.

Ah!~!

A scream came from outside the door, followed by hurried footsteps.

It seems there was another person outside who was frightened away after seeing Xia Yu kill two people in quick succession.

Tate was still reeling from the shock of Xia Yu being shot more than a dozen times and yet remaining completely unharmed.

They only realized what was happening when they heard the screams outside.

"Oh no, Xia, he escaped and will bring people with him. You don't know how attractive people like us are in this place. If I weren't still young and useful, I would have been eaten by them long ago."

"Tate said in a panic."

Xia Yu lifted the curtain and kicked the corpses out one by one.

He turned back and calmly spoke to Tate.

"Don't be afraid, I let him go on purpose. I need to stay here with you for a couple more days to avoid trouble. It's best to resolve everything at once."

These scavengers seemed to have slightly better physical abilities than Earthlings, but in Xia Yu's eyes, they were no different from tofu, even though he could crush them.

Judging from their tone, they had eaten not only corpses but also quite a few living people. Xia Yu wouldn't mind killing a few more of them along the way.

That night, Tate fell asleep in a state of anxiety, but ended up sleeping soundly through the night.

It's likely that those who escaped told others about Xia Yu's abilities, or perhaps they were too afraid to come, or they made more preparations before coming.

Xia Yu didn't care. He would be entering the city in two days anyway, and he could deal with it when he arrived. He didn't care if Xia Yu didn't come either.
