D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Lu Yuan placed his hands firmly on either side of the metal fragment and took a few deep breaths.

After mentally rehearsing what he was about to do, Lu Yuan closed his eyes and used all his strength to lift the metal fragment upwards.

Lu Yuan thought he heard a "poof" sound, followed by a muffled groan from Rhine, but the groan only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.

The extra weight in his hand told Lu Yuan that he had already pulled out the metal fragment.

Lu Yuan quickly opened his eyes, casually tossed the metal fragment aside, and then squatted down to check the condition of Rhine's back wound.

The wound that had previously held the metal fragment tore open again, and blood flowed out once more.

Lu Yuan hurriedly picked up the hemostatic medicine he had prepared in advance and was about to pour it onto the wound when Rhein stopped him.

Rhine said in a weak voice, "My lord, before applying the medicine, please check inside the wound to see if there are any metal fragments left."

Lu Yuan agreed and, as Rhine had instructed, went to check if there were any foreign objects inside the wound.

But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the wound was gushing blood, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then took the space bag back and rummaged through it, finding several bags of purified water.

"Rhine, your wound is bleeding. I can't see it clearly. I'll rinse it with purified water first. It might hurt a little, but please bear with it," Lu Yuan said.

Rhine didn't speak, he just nodded.

Then Lu Yuan picked up a bag of purified water and began to gently rinse Rhine's wound.

Rhine didn't make a sound, he just clenched his fists.

Knowing that time was of the essence and that Rhine needed to be treated quickly, Lu Yuan immediately checked the inside of the wound as soon as it became clearer.

"Rhine, don't worry, I've checked, there's nothing inside the wound."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he began to apply hemostatic medicine to Rhine, and then applied a thick layer to the wound.

Once the bleeding from the wound had gradually stopped, Lu Yuan took out a bandage and wrapped it around the wound.

After finishing everything, Lu Yuan hurried to check on Rhine's condition.

Rhine's face seemed even paler than before, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but when he saw Lu Yuan, he still gave him a weak smile.

"My lord, why do you look so pale?" Rhine asked.

"Do I look that bad?"

Lu Yuan asked in confusion. He couldn't see his own reflection now, but he still thought he had been acting very calm in front of Rhine.

"Yeah, it looks awful. He looks like he's about to cry, like he's about to die," Rhine said.

Lu Yuan glared angrily at Rhine.

"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you spouting? You'll be fine."

Rhine chuckled softly, raised his hand with some difficulty, and placed it in Lu Yuan's palm.

"Yes, I also think I'll be fine, so don't worry so much, my lord," Rhine said.

Lu Yuan tightened his grip on Rhine's hand and gave a muffled "hmm".

Neither insect spoke again; they simply clasped their hands together and remained silent for a while.

Once Rhine had recovered somewhat, he asked, "My lord, where are Revol and Sueno?"

Lu Yuan then remembered that he had two children squatting in the corner.

"They're over there. I just removed the metal plate from you. I was worried the two kids would be scared if they saw it, so I brought them over to stay there," Lu Yuan said.

Rhine nodded, then asked.

"My lord, is there anything to eat?"

Yes, yes, yes.

Lu Yuan then took out his spatial bag, took out all the food inside, and lined it up in front of Rhine.

Although the food is arranged in a row, there aren't actually many options.

To make it easy to carry, the food Lu Yuan brought consisted mainly of nutrient solutions, along with a small amount of compressed military rations.

Rhine pointed to two bags of nutrient solution and told Lu Yuan to feed them to him, and then he drank a bag of purified water.

Afterwards, Rhine said, "My lord, I need to sleep for a while, which may take a few days. Don't worry, I will take you out when I wake up. During my sleep, you must take good care of yourself. Also, Revol and Sueno are in your care."

"Okay, you can rest and recover. I'll take good care of myself and the children," Lu Yuan said.

After receiving Lu Yuan's promise, Rhine slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing Rhine fall into silence, Lu Yuan carefully wiped the sweat from Rhine's forehead, and then found a thin blanket to cover Rhine with.

Then, she quietly left Rhine's side to check on the two children.

Lu Yuan went to the corner where Revol and Sueno were and found that the two children hadn't moved much. He knew that the two children were really scared this time, and Lu Yuan felt a pang of heartache.

Lu Yuan walked over and hugged the two children, saying, "The father-in-law is alright now and will recover soon."

"Really? That's great!" Revol said happily, his eyes shining with joy.

Equally delighted, Sueno asked, "Then, male father, can we go see the female father?"

"Okay, but you have to be gentle. Father is sleeping right now and needs to rest. He may not wake up for a few days," Lu Yuan said.

Revol and Sueno both nodded in agreement.

Then Lu Yuan, holding one child in each hand, led them to Rhine's side.

After arriving beside Rhine, Revol and Sueno, as they had promised, made no noise and moved very little, as if afraid of disturbing Rhine.

After letting the children watch the Rhine for a while, Lu Yuan took the two children to a place not far from the Rhine and sat them down.

Only then did Lu Yuan have the mind to look at where he was.

This place appears to be a fairly spacious corridor, but all you can see around are rocks and dirt; there's not a trace of technological equipment.

The space available for movement here is not very large, because looking around, you can see that all exits are blocked by rocks and mud.

It was as if their family was trapped in this section of the corridor.

The only thing that comforted Lu Yuan was that although they were trapped here and unable to get out, it didn't seem dangerous at all, because there was nothing here except rocks and soil.

Moreover, Lu Yuan could no longer feel any shaking, and the outside seemed to have calmed down.

Over the next few days, Lu Yuan took care of the two children while waiting for Rhein to wake up.
