Qi Le

Space travel is a boring thing.

During the three days of the fleet's voyage, Siyar stayed in the command room, talking to several governors respectively, to further understand the situation of the home planet, and to make adjustments to the next plan in response to various changes.

"Sakya has finished the operation and set off to return to Constellation."

"The attitude of the upper echelons of the fleet is divided."

"The speaker has again suppressed the motion."

"The actions of the fleet this time have fallen into Hetty's eyes. He..."

Shial is getting more and more busy, and it is difficult to have free time in a day.

Qi Le was idle and bored, said hello to Xi Yaer, followed the guidance of the crew, went to the second floor of the battleship to work overtime, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked through the transparent deck, and looked at the endless universe.

Dark and mysterious, it seems to draw people into it.

The nebula is magnificent and bright, and the colors intersect in it, making people have endless imaginations, and they can't look away for a long time.

There is no life on the planet, the surface is covered with spots, and the cracks overflow with bright light, which is erupting volcanic lava.

The battleship traveled along its course, over the edge of the galaxy, leaving the lava-encased planet behind.

Suddenly, several bright lights flashed one after another, Qi Le was instantly attracted, couldn't help but straighten his body, and put his front paws on the window.

Since the distance was too far, it was impossible to determine the source of the bright light, so Qi Le made many guesses.Staring at the distance, many possibilities flashed in my mind, and I even thought it was an exchange of fire between spaceships.

Shial once told him that alliance patrol ships would patrol the galaxies to track down pirate spaceships and smugglers, and if they found wanted spaceships, they would definitely bite them, and fighting was inevitable.

There will also be friction between pirates, and skirmishes are frequent.

In addition, if a large caravan is attacked and the situation is evenly matched, the exchange of fire will also be quite intense.

Some caravans have dual identities and secretly serve as pirates.The people in the caravan are all fierce.Once encountered robbery, not only will not run away, but it is possible to turn around and rob.

The bright light lasts for a while before finally disappearing.

After waiting for a while, the bright light did not appear again. Qi Le blinked his dry eyes, retracted his front paws, shook his head, and lay down on the cold deck.

The battleship continued on, passing through the edge of a galaxy.

Qi Le looked up, the fiery red planet was very close, and the pits and towering peaks on the surface could be seen clearly.If there is no bulkhead blocking it, it seems as if you can reach out and touch it.

Behind the planet floats an abandoned space station.

Due to the long history and the baptism of war, the outer layer of the space station has peeled off, exposing the internal alloy building, laser turret, and air corridor in the shape of a five-pointed star.

The alloy building was dilapidated and dilapidated, without any signs of life.But judging from the layout and quantity, it used to be quite busy here, and through time and space, it can even depict the prosperity of that year.

The turret was dilapidated, half of it was destroyed by the fire, and what remained was scorched black with large bullet marks.

Most of the air corridors are broken, and the cracks are abnormally neat, as if they were cut by a sharp knife.

As early as many years ago, all the personnel stationed here were evacuated.

One is that the war broke out, and the space station was damaged, unable to play a defensive role; the other is that the planet has already entered death, and there is no meaning to stay.

At this moment, what appeared before Qi Le's eyes was complete desolation.

"It used to be a supply point in the middle of the route."

Alpha's voice suddenly sounded.

Qi Le raised his head, and at some point, the transparent medical officer had already boarded the deck and walked behind him.

Father Cat turned his ears and frowned.Probably because he was attracted by the scene in front of him and was too absorbed in watching, he didn't pay attention to his side and heard the slightest footsteps.

On the battleship, he will not be in danger, and it doesn't matter if he is careless.

On other planets, the situation is completely different, and extra care must be taken to prevent such negligence from happening again.

"Is this the route supply point?" Qi Le asked.

"That's right." Alpha nodded, "Most of the buildings in the space station are caravan camps."

Hearing Alpha's words, Qi Le looked at the space station again.

It's a pity that the distance is getting farther and farther away, and it can no longer be as clear as before.

"In addition, this planet was once a mine. At its busiest time, more than two hundred spaceships entered and exited in a day."

While speaking, Alpha sat down on the ground, sticking out her transparent fingers, as if she wanted to pinch Qi Le's ears.I thought of something halfway, changed my mind, and took my hand back.

Although the captain is not in the courtship period, Qi Le still has pheromone residues on his body.

What this means is self-evident.

The medical officer cherishes his own life very much, and if it is absolutely necessary, he will never let Xial think that he is provoking.

After giving the medical officer a strange look, Qi Le turned to the window again, and asked, "Are there a lot of stars in the mine?"

The scenery around the route is similar, either pitch black or colorful nebula.Qi Le also saw a group of gray meteorites, which reminded him of the bright light he saw before. If it wasn't a light cannon, could it be a meteorite?

"There are indeed quite a few mine stars in the alliance, but there is only this one near this route, and it has long been abandoned." Hearing Qi Le's question, Elfa leaned back and put his hands on the deck superior.

"As far as I know, more than 80.00% of the coalition's recorded mining planets belong to Star [-] and Star [-]. These planets are far apart, scattered scattered, and some of them have extremely harsh environments. If you want to land for surveys and carry out large-scale mining, It's not that easy."

Qi Le pricked up his ears and listened very carefully, but at the same time he was puzzled.

"The Alliance has seven constellations, right?"

"Correct."

"Why are mine stars so concentrated?"

Alpha chuckled and didn't mind helping him out.

"It's not surprising that special abilities are required for exploration in the universe. The populations of these two constellations have extremely strong talents, which is convenient for them to find mines. Other constellations discover new galaxies and want to determine whether there are mines, and if so, whether they are capable of mining value, they all need their help. In return, part of the mined minerals will be shared between Star Five and Star Star Four."

"Is there no survey machine?" Qi Le asked.

With the alliance's technological level, this is completely unreasonable.

"The machine can only determine the location of the mineral, analyze the composition of the ore, and cannot judge whether the mine is dangerous in the first place." Alpha said, "If the most accurate conclusion cannot be drawn, once large-scale mining occurs, it will Harm to ground personnel, some can be cured, some irreversible."

"Is it radiation?" Qi Le moved his ears.

"That's right." Alpha nodded, but his whole body was transparent, and no one else could see this movement at all.

"Different populations have different resistance to radiation. Some are basically unaffected, some will lurk in the body, and some will be fatal immediately."

Even if it is a population that can resist radiation, you must be more careful when you first come to an unfamiliar mine. God knows if there will be extremely dangerous associated mines.

After all, their protective equipment is not comparable to that of Star Four and Star Five.

The populations of the two constellations have been dealing with ore all year round and have accumulated rich experience. In addition to relying on talent, the protective equipment they are equipped with is also constantly improving, which is far better than other constellations.

The distance between each other continues to widen. Over time, other stars who happen to find mines, especially rare types of ores, will ask them to help in the survey, and they will rarely mine blindly.

"History is not without lessons." Speaking of this, Alpha's voice became more serious, "An alliance caravan once discovered a new planet with a large area of ​​surface mines on it, and it is a rare ore, which is priceless in the alliance. "

This kind of opportunity is rare, and the huge benefits will inevitably promote the growth of greed, so that it blinds the perception of danger.

"So they mine alone, and then something went wrong?" Qi Le said.

"Yes." Alpha propped up a long leg, and said in a deep voice, "This kind of ore often has associated mines. Most of them are not harmful and can be solved by wearing protective clothing. A few are extremely radioactive, and can even penetrate the latest Type protective clothing, and there is a fairly long incubation period, and the symptoms will break out after a long time. Once the disease breaks out, there is no way to treat it, and the sick can only wait to die."

"There is no potion that can cure?" Qi Le asked in surprise.

"No." El shook his head, his skin color changed from transparent to light blue, symbolizing his mood at the moment.

Qi Le fell silent.

He has taken the potion formulated by Alpha, and he has also heard comments about the constellation seven populations from other populations.If even they can't help, how terrible is this disease?

"My great-grandfather came into close contact with this type of ore in order to study antidotes, and he contracted the same disease. Before he died, he gave the research results to my grandfather and uncle, and warned them that before there are no effective protective measures , must not be in contact with this type of ore for a long time."

Alpha's voice gradually slowed down and fell into memory.

"By a coincidence, a new ore was discovered on Palestine, which is also highly radioactive, and most populations will die if exposed to it. I have people who happened to be on that exploration ship. When analyzing the data, I found that some kind of object in the ore , seems to be able to cure the disease caused by this associated mineral."

Qi Le listened silently, never interjecting.

"After receiving the report, my uncle proposed to transport the ore to an unmanned planet for research in order to ensure safety. The proposal was approved, and Palestine took the initiative to send someone to escort it. Unfortunately, during the transportation, the spaceship suddenly broke down and crashed on a planet. On a strange planet."

Hearing this, Qi Le's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and he looked up at Alpha, his eyes narrowed into long, thin lines.

"There is an intelligent race on that planet. They found the crashed spaceship, but instead of treating it, they secretly captured the crew and locked them up for research and experiments."

"The population of Starfish never uses in vivo experiments. Even if samples are taken, the safety of the body will be ensured. However, there is no such rule on this planet."

The color of Elfa gradually darkened, showing azure blue like sea water.

"The spaceship exploded when it fell, and the crew members were seriously injured and unable to resist. They all became prisoners and became victims of the experiment."

Qi Le's face was shocked, and his hair stood on end.

Except for some details, this is almost exactly the same as the history of Blue Star that Moran told him.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

"More than that, they opened the sealed ore in disregard of the crew's last warning."

Speaking of this, Elfa stopped suddenly, looked down at Qi Le, and saw his expression. After a while, the sea-like blue slowly receded and became crystal-like transparent again.

"I think you have already guessed, this planet is Blue Star."

Qi Le lowered his head.

He didn't know what to say.

Although the one who made the mistake was a native human, he was still a member of the Blue Star population, and his heart was heavy, as if he was weighing a huge boulder.

If one group makes a mistake, all Blue Stars will be blamed.

This mistake was so serious that it almost destroyed the entire planet.

"About this incident, there are only partial records in the alliance. Most people know that there is only one captain's log. There are more detailed records on my planet, including the disappearance of the crew, the cause of the blue star disaster, and the possibility of radiation. consequences."

"The possible consequences?" Qi Le was stunned for a moment.

In other words, the evolution of the blue star population is just one of them?

"According to the records, it is speculated that the mutation of the planet population is only the first step. All the populations exposed to radiation will gradually lose their sanity, become crazy, and die in madness."

"But Blue Star is not like that." Qi Le frowned.

Not to mention the original species, but also the population that has embarked on the third evolutionary path, even if it is a strange beast with a low IQ, it has not become what Alpha said.

After searching all the populations of Blue Star, only the zombies are somewhat similar.

But they also follow a certain survival instinct, the target of hunting is other species, and rarely kill each other.

and many more!

A flash of light flashed in Qi Le's mind, and Gu Xuan's figure suddenly appeared.

When it comes to killing and madness, this guy is definitely one of the best!

Moreover, the sea turtle said that after the catastrophe, the first batch of alienated zombies had internal strife.

what is the reason?

Could it be that, as Alpha said, he couldn't control his crazy desire to kill?

If so, what stopped them?

Thinking of the weird experiments in the underground bunker, Qi Le couldn't help but shudder.Really create the same zombies, isn't Gu Xuan afraid that the other party will end up killing him?

Or is it that he has found a way to suppress it... Judging from his performance, it is not impossible.

Killers and lunatics with sophisticated minds.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, Qi Le couldn't help shivering.

Seeing Qi Le's appearance, Alpha slowed down and continued: "According to the records left behind, this planet should have become barren and a death star. But shortly after the disaster, the galaxy The fleet sent by the alliance sent back a communication, and the source of the catastrophe disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

"Yes." Alpha nodded, "At that time, the alliance sent a fleet not only for revenge, but also to retrieve the lost ore. Unfortunately, after searching the entire planet, there is still no clue, and even the traces of radiation are gradually disappearing. disappear."

"Disappeared?" Qi Le's eyes widened, becoming more and more surprised.

"It is indeed disappearing." Alpha held his chin with one hand, "It is absorbed by the mutated plants and becomes another kind of energy, which exists in the form of crystal nuclei and is transmitted through the food chain."

Alpha pointed to Qi Le's forehead with his hand, and then pointed to his heart.

"You shouldn't have crystal nuclei."

Qi Le didn't answer.

Moran had told him the same conclusion.

"This kind of change is amazing." Alpha continued, "The population mutates because of it, and in turn absorbs a large amount, especially the mutated plants on the planet. Wherever they exist, there is no trace of radiation left at all."

"Before Blue Star was designated as a hunting ground, the Alliance sent people to conduct tests on the planet, and the results did not detect any signs of radiation residue.

"Amazing"

Listening to Elfa's narration, Qi Le fell silent again.

Faintly, several thoughts flashed through his mind in succession. He seemed to have grasped something, and it seemed that he was separated by a layer of veil, hazy and still unable to see clearly.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Is that ore really missing?" Qi Le asked.

"I don't know." Alpha shrugged.

"do not know?"

"I have checked all the existing records, and the conclusions all point to the same direction. The ore disappeared in Blue Star. Either it was buried deep in the ground, or it was destroyed by war. In short, after hundreds of years, the ore has never been found, and neither has the radiation. Remnants, most people have already forgotten about it.”

Buried deep underground, destroyed by war?

No matter how Qi Le thought about it, it was impossible.

Especially the latter.

If the ore could be easily destroyed, it wouldn't be such a headache for these alien races.

In any case, the ore will not disappear out of thin air, there must be a reason.

Will it have something to do with zombies?

Qi Le shook his head, why does he always think of zombies?

too weird.

As the two spoke, the fleet passed a border supply point.

Compared with the barren galaxy, this place is much more lively.

The silver space station is floating on the edge of the galaxy, surrounded by a transparent protective cover, and there are row upon row of colorful buildings.

The long and narrow corridor is divided into three floors. The exchange is suspended above the corridor, surrounded by shops with the logos of various caravans. People flow in front of the shops, and aircraft take off and land from time to time, making it extremely busy.

The warship did not dock, but only sent a few mechas to negotiate with the personnel of the space station, hoping to exchange the energy ore on board for a local specialty—a huge, hard armored, but extraordinarily delicious meat. , and also wish to purchase large quantities of fresh heterophytes and a few jasmine leaves.

There is no mark on the battleship, and the space station cannot determine the identity of the visitor.The only certainty is that the other party is not a pirate.There is no danger to themselves, so naturally it will not prevent them from trading with merchants.

The base fleet was generous and willing to exchange energy ore for supplies. The merchants were overjoyed when they heard the news.For them, high-quality energy ores are very rare, and they often need to spend a lot of money to buy them.

Sometimes, holding star coins may not be able to buy them.

It was really hard to believe that someone would exchange these ores for exotic animals and plants.

It's just a waste of money!

The reality is that the base fleet uses crystal nuclei as an energy source, and these energy ores were seized from pirate ships, so they are useless at all.In addition, the mines produced are different, and the quality is uneven, so they cannot be sold at a good price at the base.It's better to trade along the way, in exchange for local specialties, and exchange them into alliance star coins, and the price can be doubled several times.

After the transaction, the mecha returns with the goods.

The golden tractor beam slowly retracted, and the fleet continued to move forward.

Xial ended the call, turned on the virtual light screen, and found Qi Le on the second deck.Then the bridge was handed over to Sanders, and he got up and left the command cabin.

At that time, Qi Le's stomach was starting to growl, Elfa looked at the time and was about to take him to the restaurant.

After standing up, the medical officer was not surprised when he saw Xial coming towards him. He raised his eyebrows with a smile, and nodded to the other party without saying anything. He boarded the conveyor belt first and returned to the medical cabin .

"Meow."

Qi Le walked to Xi Yaer's side, and rubbed his calf with his body.

Sewage?

He is a raccoon now, this is the instinct of the body, what kind of filth!

So what if it is dirty, in the relationship between two people, there is a problem if they are not dirty.

Xiar bent down to pick up Lihua, supported his hind leg with one arm, and let him rest his front paw on his shoulder.Passing the smooth fur with his palm, he said with a smile: "The strange beast here is very famous, you can try it later."

Qi Le pricked up his ears, turned his head to face the profile of the captain, his big eyes were shining brightly.

Xial smiled, turned her head, and rubbed her cheek against Qi Le's soft fur.

Platinum blonde long hair flowed like water, hanging on Qi Le's front legs.If the tip of the claw sticks out a little, it can easily catch a strand.

After being rubbed several times in a row, Qi Le's ears gradually became hot, and his tail curled up unconsciously.Unable to bear it any longer, he finally stretched out his paw and slapped it hard twice, which happened to be printed on the captain's forehead.

At the same time as the plum blossom seal fell, deep laughter flowed out, mellow like the sound of a cello.

Qi Le withdrew his paws and shook his beard, feeling speechless.

Can this one be more discreet?

Can the human design collapse a little more?

If this continues, the sky will collapse, okay?

Arriving at the restaurant on the third floor, Qi Le scanned around and found only a few scattered people.

Maybe it's not time for duty?

After choosing a seat by the window, Xiar put down Qi Le, and soon a robot slid forward, confirmed the meals they needed, and then slid away at a faster speed.

Within 2 minutes, the steaming barbecue was placed in front of Qi Le.

The cat dad lowered his head and sniffed it, and cut it open with his paws. The cut surface was light red, the texture was fine, the thick gravy slowly overflowed, and the aroma was tangy.

After cutting the roast meat into small pieces, Qi Le turned his head habitually and asked the kitten to start.

As a result, it was empty.

Only then did the cat father remember that the kitten did not follow him, but stayed in Lan Xing.

Seeing his depression, Shiar's eyes flickered slightly.Leaning forward suddenly, his arms stretched across the table, his slender fingers lifted Qi Le's chin, and his other hand was as fast as lightning, and he sent a piece of jasmine leaf into his mouth.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

"Meow!"

The cat father bit the leaves, jumped up suddenly, and swung the shadowless claws continuously.

The captain dodged sideways, taking advantage of the gap between Qi Le's paw swings, put his hands under his armpits, rolled him into a fur ball, and hugged him in his arms.

Qi Le's mouth smelled of mustard, and he was so angry that he bit the cloth around his mouth and gritted his teeth fiercely.

The captain didn't take it seriously, he walked down his back, handed a red fruit to his mouth, and said with a smile: "Is it better?"

Qi Le paused, looked up at Xi Yaer, met those ice blue eyes, suddenly understood something, and retracted the claws that popped out.

Looking around with his ears up, to make sure no one was looking here, Qi Le turned into a humanoid form, sat on Xial's lap, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and kissed his lips forcefully.

Unexpectedly, Qi Le would make such a move, and the captain froze for a moment.

When he came back to his senses and wanted to kiss back, Qi Le had already turned back into Li Hua, jumped back to the table, and began to enjoy his barbecue feast.

Isn't it just teasing?

As if who can't!
