Cub Raising Association

"Hmm—" Waking up with eyes open, Xie Tao could feel the severe pain of losing consciousness before he had no time to feel it, and now he could feel it belatedly, a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Xie Tao sat up and gasped for breath.

However, this pain didn't last long. After a few seconds, the pain eased a little, and Xie Tao was able to slow down his breathing accordingly.

Putting down his hand covering his chest, Xie Tao fell down and lay back on the bed, panting for a while.

Putting the back of his hand on his forehead, Xie Tao's eyes swept across the room from left to right. Of course, the scene of the room is familiar to Xie Tao, this is his bedroom on the original earth.

It is one of the places that you will see every day when you wake up. Originally, you didn't need to glance at this familiar scene, but Xie Tao did this act of confirmation today.

Because this time he didn't come back by himself, but returned passively.

He blocked Yai's attack.

The slight pain left in his chest told Xie Tao that this part of his body was indeed penetrated.

Xie Tao established the link between the two worlds through spiritual power. The link that the golden light ball allowed him to establish deceived the "rules" of the world over there, and made the world over there recognize his existence. shape.

Also because the link was only established through dreams, Xie Tao's body in this world would not be substantially affected, and he was not injured.

After the pain was completely gone, it took only 1 minute in total, Xie Tao wiped off the thin sweat on his forehead without relaxing, and then he tried to fall asleep again.

Since the establishment of the spiritual link linking the two worlds, every time Xie Tao had the idea of ​​changing the world, he would fall asleep within a few seconds.

But this time, Xie Tao didn't feel anything after lying down for a long time.

Because I was in too much pain just now, and I haven't calmed down mentally due to the shock, so I can't sleep yet...

Xie Tao wanted to convince himself this way at first, but he stayed on this side of the earth until night. After Xie Tao finally fell asleep, the scene he saw when he opened his eyes did not change.

He opened his eyes after only a short sleep, and the only change in the room was that the light became dimmer.

The spiritual link linking the two worlds was broken——

Unavoidably aware of this, Xie Tao wakes up now, and will not feel sleepy at all this night.

After that, Xie Tao tried several more times, but without exception, the result was the same.

"A Luan, are you still going out today?" This was the second time Lu Yuan asked this question in this week, with obvious concern in his tone.

Although the young man is not a person who likes to go out often, he usually goes out for a walk by himself, and travels every once in a while. There has never been a situation where he has not been called out for more than a week like this.

"En." Responding on the phone, Xie Tao held a sensor pen in his hand and slowly drew on the digital screen.

"You..." The person on the other end of the phone hesitated to speak, and finally could only say, "Don't hold back if you have anything to do."

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, it's just that I'm more inspired these days, and I want to stay at home and draw." Xie Tao gave a convincing reason, holding the phone with his head tilted, his hands still moving.

Hearing what Xie Tao said, Lu Yuan was almost persuaded, and felt that maybe he was thinking too much, so he said, "Well, I won't bother you anymore."

When the phone on the other side was hung up, Xie Tao freed one hand to take down the phone that was clamped to the side of his head, and when he returned his gaze to the drawing board, Xie Tao had a little difficulty in continuing to draw.

On the drawing board are the daily scenes of the Yunbao branch, the nurses at work and the cubs playing in the hall, Xie Tao has not finished drawing, but the general picture is already there.

The link is disconnected, which means that Xie Tao will no longer be able to contact the world over there, and of course it is impossible to see the people in the painting again.

The last picture also left a part unfinished, which is a Knox with a silver tail. Xie Tao turned off the digital screen and moved his gaze to the window. This time there will be no more "shooting star" to let him Go to the world over there.

I don't know what's going on with the people in the world over there...

Has the Star Alliance successfully repelled the enemies from Outland? If repelled, has the world finally got rid of the established end of destruction?

Yayi and everyone in Rainbow Dash Club, including adults and cubs, are the ones Xie Tao is worried about.

In fact, in the past week or so, the other world that Xie Tao cared about has undergone tremendous changes.

The Star Alliance was about to be defeated. Not long ago, the soldiers sensed a sudden burst of terrifying power fluctuations at the location of the stopped ark ship. After that, the owner of the ark ship abandoned the starship. Use the space ability to transfer yourself directly to the enemy's base camp.

In the holographic communication deliberately connected by the enemy, the members of the Covenant can see that the Knox with a truly cold and emotionless face accepted the so-called "invitation" of the Sierras.

This kind of invitation means to incorporate the consciousness of this Knox into their group and make the other party a member of their group.

The other party clearly knew about this matter, but took the initiative to accept it, which made the Star Alliance feel stunned and incomprehensible.

But what made the Star Alliance and the reinforcements from various races even more bewildered was that not long after the holographic image of Yayi accepting the "invitation" ended, the entire Sierra tribe that was fighting with them stopped any attacks. All the battleships were evacuated in a moment with the leap.

The remaining Star Alliance army was at a loss for a while, not knowing what was going on, but the enemy's withdrawal was real, and the Star Alliance army, which had been struggling to support, had a chance to breathe at this time.

And a day, two days after that...

The enemy named Serra never came back. The Star Alliance maintained the highest vigilance all the time from being suspicious, and then relaxed a bit after more than half a month.

A month later, it was still calm, and the Covenant and the various races in the interstellar world finally began to believe that the nightmare might really be over.

What did that Knox do for them?

The disappearance of the enemy will not happen for no reason. All these things happened after Yayi accepted the so-called invitation, and everyone can easily think of it.

Four people from the Yunbao branch went out, but only two returned. During this period of time, the bright and comfortable atmosphere of the Yunbao branch inevitably changed.

"Papa, Papa—?"

The mermaid cub, which was carried from the indoor pool to the hall to be with other cubs, grabbed a caregiver's trousers and looked at him with blue eyes.

And every time the little mermaid uttered these two repeated single sounds, other cubs in the hall would also make sounds to express it, and the whole hall would be lively for a while.

Xia Qi lied to these cubs that the young man had gone on a long trip. At first, the cubs were obediently waiting, but they were a little anxious after half a month, and they asked more frequently recently.

Being caught by the mermaid cub, Xia Qi adjusted her expression first, then squatted down and said to the little mermaid, the cub Muka and several other cubs who approached: "A Luan is traveling far away. , It will take some time to come back, and I will come back after a while."

Xia Qi tried her best to smile, but in fact, the news she got was that the young man died in that war.

Really don't know how to tell these cubs who have been obediently waiting for the young man to come back every day since the young man went out, Xia Qi can only lie to these cubs that Xie Tao has gone far away.

But Xia Qi still underestimated the cub's sensitivity to the adult's emotions. She always responded that the young man would come back after a while. Now, after a month, this method has become less effective.

The most direct expression is that after Xia Qigang replied in such a reassuring way, the little mermaid in front of her began to drop the golden doudou while yelling Papa.

"Papa... Papa...!"

The tail of the small fish covered with ice-blue scales slapped the ground, including the tail fin. On the delicate face of this mermaid cub, the eye sockets were slightly red, and the tears that fell quickly condensed into one A small transparent spar made only a slight sound when it hit the ground covered with a soft carpet.

Not only this mermaid cub, but also the Muka cub next to him lowered his head and hissed very lowly at Xia Qi, and the black dragon cub flapped its wings and flew in front of Xia Qi with a few chubby chirps. , the other cubs in the hall reacted similarly.

"Wow."

It had been many days since he had smelled the warm breath he liked. During this period of time, this cub of Vic could only smell the places where the young man used to stay, and there would be the remaining scent of the young man there.

But if the person is away for a long time, the lingering breath will gradually fade away. Half a month ago, Ain actually couldn't smell the breath from the place where the young man used to stay.

But even so, this Vik cub is used to nesting in places that once had a youthful atmosphere.

Seeing the performance of these cubs, Xia Qi's nose was sour, and she almost couldn't control her tears.

But she is an adult and cannot cry in front of these cubs, otherwise it will make these cubs even more disturbed.

Suppressing her tears, Xia Qi reached out to touch the short light blond hair of the little mermaid cub in front of her, and comforted the little mermaid and the other cubs: "A Luan never came back when he went out, this time he just went out for a long time , will definitely come back."

This sentence also represents the expectations of Xia Qi and other staff members in the Yunbao branch. Even if there is news that the young man has died, but they have not seen the young man's lifeless body, they still have a glimmer of hope.

I hope that both of them can come back safe and sound, this is the biggest expectation of everyone this month.

I don't know if it should be said to be a kind of wonderful feeling in the dark, when Xia Qi comforted the cubs who were crying immaturely because they couldn't see the youth, Xie Tao seemed to be in another world far away. Can feel something.

It was the inexplicable emotion that arose in his heart that made Xie Tao involuntarily look out of the window where he could only see the quiet night sky.

It would be great if there was another "shooting star" that would allow him to go to that world...

Knowing that it was impossible, Xie Tao couldn't help but think about it while looking at the night sky.

But it was as if he really responded to his wish, even though there was no streamer passing by, the same loud noise that could shake Xie Luan's eardrum came from the small courtyard outside the window, and it also made Xie Tao feel that his own floor was shaking.

It wasn't "Meteor", I didn't know what it was, even though he knew it was a very slim hope, Xie Tao still stood up from his chair in an instant, wanting to walk out of the yard.

But the moment Xie Luan just stood up, his whole body was tightly embraced by a figure who arrived in front of him unexpectedly.

"Ya... Yi?" His throat seemed to be blocked by something for a while, Xie Tao immediately saw the silver tail around his waist, and whispered the other party's name in disbelief.

While calling out the name, Xie Tao met a pair of blue vertical pupils that seemed to have become a little darker, but still very beautiful, which he would never mistake.
