'This is a huge mess.'
Not only was there a planet in ruins that needed rebuilding, but she also had to guard against predators like Wertie, who were watching her like a hawk.
'Caught between a rock and a hard place.'
Shi Li also had to consider her own safety.
"You needn't worry about that. The residents of our planet have always been great lovers of peace."
"Faced with such an unexpected disaster, everyone is naturally a bit frightened, that's all." Wertie offered no real solutions. He just wanted to dump the whole mess on Shi Li.
