Because there were no freshwater resources on this planet.
Although there was technically water on the planet, it was polluted, toxic, and undrinkable.
Therefore, Broly and his father, Paragus, could only survive by eating insect eggs, relying on those hard-to-swallow things to sustain their lives.
Broly had grown up here since he was a child, so he didn't have many complaints about it.
He was used to hunger, used to thirst, and used to this desolate land.
But Paragus was different.
For Paragus, living on this planet was simply like living through years in a single day.
He thought about leaving all the time, thought about taking revenge on King Vegeta, and thought about reclaiming everything he had lost.
Today, having finally encountered Rez, Vegeta, and the others, Paragus was ecstatic, feeling that he could finally leave this terrible planet and finally exact his revenge.
Yet, before he could be happy for even three minutes, he was easily killed by Rez in return.
"How is it? Does it taste good?" Rez asked with a smile.
Broly nodded vigorously, his gaze toward Rez filled with deep gratitude.
Those pure eyes were full of sincere thanks.
"Since you have already avenged your father, come with me from now on. I'll take you to eat good food and drink good drinks." Rez smiled slightly and reached out his hand.
Broly hesitated for a moment, looked at Rez's hand, then at Rez's face, and finally looked at the water bottle in his hand.
He took another sip of water, savored the sweetness, then readily agreed and took Rez's hand.
"First, let's dig a pit to bury your father," Rez suggested.
"Dig a pit?" Broly didn't quite understand this, tilting his head as he looked at Rez.
"After people die, their souls must return to the earth, so we usually dig a pit to bury them," Rez explained, pointing to the ground.
Broly suddenly understood and immediately began digging with his hands.
His hands were like iron shovels, digging into the ground rapidly, sending soil flying everywhere.
Soon, a small pit was dug out by Broly, just deep enough to hold a person.
Rez stepped forward, glanced at the pit, and then kicked Paragus into it with one foot.
The action was crisp and neat, without any hesitation.
Broly glanced at Rez, feeling like something wasn't quite right.
He scratched his head, feeling that having his father kicked in like that... seemed a bit disrespectful.
However, Broly didn't overthink it in the end and buried his father in the pit.
He used his hands to push the soil back into the pit, covering his father.
"Tread it down firmly!" Rez suggested. "I sense quite a few monsters on this planet. If they were to dig up your father's body and eat it, that wouldn't be good."
Broly felt Rez was absolutely right and immediately stepped forward to stomp the soil down.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He stomped down hard, packing the soil tightly until it was as flat as before.
Vegeta watched from the side, speechless for a moment, his mouth twitching.
This guy Rez is too treacherous, right?
You killed the guy's father, and now you're standing there playing the good guy!
And... you're not even going to make a grave mound to show some respect?
You actually buried him in there and even stomped the soil flat...
If Paragus knew about this, he'd probably jump out of that pit, right?
Of course, Vegeta wouldn't blab to Broly about Rez killing Paragus.
After all, it was Paragus who attacked Linoshi first.
Rez just blew a breath, and the energy gun bullet pierced Paragus's heart.
It was what he deserved.
Broly, afraid that the soil wasn't packed tightly enough, stomped a few more times until the ground looked no different from the rest, and only then did he stop.
"Enough, enough, that's about right." Rez waved his hand.
Only then did Broly stop. He looked back at the patch of packed-down earth, a flash of reluctance in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anticipation for the future.
"Let's go, come onto the spaceship with me," Rez greeted Broly with a smile.
Broly nodded obediently and followed along.
Subsequently, under Rez's lead, the four of them boarded the spaceship together.
The cabin door slowly closed, shutting out the desolation and sandstorms of Planet Vampa outside.
"Whoosh!"
The spaceship took off, its tail emitting bright flames, instantly breaking through the atmosphere and entering the vast starry sky.
Outside the porthole, Planet Vampa grew smaller and smaller, finally turning into an inconspicuous speck of light, disappearing into the vast sea of stars.
"Vegeta, take Broly to take a bath. He stinks too much. Then get him a new set of clothes!" Rez directly ordered Vegeta.
"Got it!" Vegeta nodded while pinching his nose, looking at Broly with utter disgust.
After all, Vegeta also felt that Broly smelled a bit foul; the scent was a mix of dirt, sweat, and unknown things, which was indeed unpleasant.
Actually, this was normal.
Broly hadn't taken a bath since he left Planet Vegeta.
Planet Vampa had no conditions for bathing; there wasn't even clean water, let alone a bath.
Vegeta led Broly to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and pointed to the showerhead, saying: "This is for bathing. Stand underneath it, the water will pour down and wash the dirt off your body."
Broly looked at the showerhead curiously, then at the flowing water, his eyes full of novelty.
...
Five minutes later.
"Hey, this is bathwater, you can't drink it!" Vegeta exclaimed in the bathroom.
"Uh..." Broly's confused voice came from inside, carrying a hint of grievance.
"I really give up on you! If you want water, there's plenty outside!" Vegeta grunted, speechless.
The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.
Silence for a moment.
"I remember you hit me earlier!" Broly's voice suddenly came from the bathroom, with a hint of seriousness. "My father told me not to kill you guys, but that doesn't mean I won't beat you up!"
"Hmph, who's afraid of who!" Vegeta snorted coldly, his voice full of defiance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Then, sounds of scuffling came from the bathroom, mixed with the splashing of water and muffled grunts from both of them.
Rez and Linoshi heard it from outside, looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in the other's eyes.
When the dust settled, the bathroom door opened, and Vegeta walked out, bruised and battered.
His face was covered in black and blue marks, one eye was swollen high, and he was stumbling slightly as he walked.
Broly, however, was grinning foolishly, incredibly happy, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Although he had taken a few hits too, it didn't hurt at all to him.
"You bastard! One day I'm going to pin you to the ground and rub your face in it!" Vegeta was trembling with rage, pointing at Broly and cursing.
