Qi Le

Under the watchful eyes of several women, Dad Cat felt a lot of pressure.When Guna narrowed her eyes, she immediately raised her chest and raised her head, helping her dropped chin back.

Anyway, the ladies are here and the "see" is always to be seen.

As for what will happen, he has no relevant memory, so he can only resign himself to fate.

Qi Le squatted down, with a generous expression on his face.

The serval cat and the caracal cat came over first, and they were also the first to shake their heads.

The spouses they choose are all of the same race, and physical fitness is the most basic condition.In this case, it is impossible to give birth to raccoons.

Neither can other female cats in the clan.

Even if the ancestors have domestic cat blood, they suddenly return to their ancestors during the growth process, at least they should have a little bit of population characteristics.This one in front of me is a raccoon through and through, from the tip of its ears to the tip of its tail, there is no sign of a serval or a caracal at all.

"not us."

The serval and the caracal looked at each other, both of them were sure of their conclusions. They each took a step back, lay down on their sides, flicked their tails, and waited for the others to give their answers.

Qi Le breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't understand why he was so nervous, but his scalp was tense and his heart beat faster.Pat it with your paws to get a little better.

Two leopard cats stepped forward, one left and one right, and circled Qi Le twice, inspecting his fur carefully, and sniffing his neck and the back of his ears.

After a while, the sisters shook their heads.

Leaving aside the size, judging from the fur pattern and smell, Qi Le could not be his own cub.The sisters are very sure that this raccoon not only has nothing to do with them, but also has no kinship with their mother and sisters.

As for the paternal lineage, it is estimated that only the female cat who gave birth to him will know.

In the cat family, as long as the attribute is "male", except for forest cats that raise children with their spouses, they basically have the attribute of scum.

Once a male cat is in heat, it cannot be judged by common sense at all, and leopard cats are no exception.It's hard to say whether there is a certain person who will cross the population and have a cub peanut.

But in any case, compared with the paternal line, the matrilineal line is better to judge.

Even if Qi Le can't provide any clues, and doesn't remember the mother's appearance, with the smell and pattern, the mother cat can be sure whether he is her cub or not.

When the male raccoon is young, the distance between the ears is narrow, and when it grows up, it will become wider, and the facial features will also change a little.Coupled with the larger body size and slightly different fur color, the smell becomes the best basis for judging your own child.

Thinking of this, the two sisters turned their eyes and glanced at Summer the tabby and Hannah the raccoon respectively.I, Caracal, and Serval are all ruled out. From the current point of view, they are more likely to be female.

Under the gaze of the leopard cat, Summer flicked her tail and stepped forward.

Turning around Qi Le, he suddenly raised his paw and stroked his back hair twice.

Seeing that Qi Le's whole body was tense and on the verge of exploding hair at any time, Summer meowed amusedly, then raised his front paw and patted the back of his neck.

For Summer, who has given birth to several litters of kittens, it is really easy to calm down a "kitten" that has not yet grown up.

as predicted.

Under Summer's comfort, Qi Le subconsciously relaxed, turned his ears twice, and his body gradually became less tense.

It's not that he's timid, it's that the ladies put too much pressure on him.

To be honest, even at the beginning of time travel, when his talent had not yet been stimulated, and he did not have more self-protection ability, he had never been so "scared" when faced with the siege of corpses and the pursuit of alien beasts.

When Qi Le relaxed, Summer withdrew his paws and sniffed his neck. Instead of coming to a conclusion right away, he asked, "You just became independent?"

Qi Le nodded.

Even if he is a little confused, he will not mistake his age with the reminders of the crow girl and the squirrel.When the kitten was first adopted, it was never more than half a year since he became independent.

Summer squatted next to Qi Le, raised her front paw, patted Qi Le's forehead, then raised his chin, and said after a while, "Your fur color is very familiar."

Hearing this sentence, the ladies immediately looked over.

Summer was still unhurried, tilted his head and looked at Qi Le for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said, "Hannah, come and see."

"I?"

"Yes." Summer nodded, "I think his coat pattern is similar to yours, but it's also different."

"We are all raccoons," Hannah said.

"No, it's not similar in the sense of species." Summer shook his head.

Seeing Summer's insistence, Hannah didn't say anything, and stepped forward to stand beside Qi Le.

Both are raccoons with similar markings, but Hannah's fur is lighter, while Qi Le has pure black stripes.

Hannah's neck has a ring of fluffy white hair, which proves that she has the blood of lion cat.Qi Le's whole body, except for black stripes and a lighter background, has no variegated colors, and he is an out-and-out raccoon lily.

The difference between the two sides is clear at a glance.

"His coat color is indeed very familiar."

Sniffing the scent and confirming that Qi Le was not her own cub, Hannah did not back away, but moved closer, carefully examining Qi Le's back hair and the pattern on his forehead.

After studying for a full 2 ​​minutes, seeing that Qi Le was very uncomfortable and turned his head frequently, Hannah suddenly had a flash of inspiration and slapped his paws.

"I see!"

"what?"

Guna and Summer looked over at the same time, and the ocelot, caracal and serval also pricked up their ears.

"I don't know who his mother is, but I probably know his father!"

"what?!"

The ladies' eyes widened at the same time, their faces full of surprise.

Normally, only the female cat who gave birth to a kitten knows who the father is.Since Hannah is sure that Qi Le is not her cub, how can he know his paternal blood?

"His father probably said Nott."

At first hearing the name, Summer and the others felt unfamiliar, but Guna's brows were furrowed.

"Nott, the tomcat with your litter?"

"Yes, that's him!" Hannah said while patting Qi Le's back, "His fur is very similar to Knott."

While speaking, Hannah signaled Qi Le to turn around, showing a patch of stripes near the back of his neck, and nodded his forehead.

"I heard from my mother that such markings are very special, and they are rare among raccoons. Nott has them, I have them, and our father has them too."

The male cat Hannah was talking about was not present, so everyone could only compare the two.

Sure enough, as she said, both of them had a group of special markings in a small area near the back of the neck.

Under normal circumstances, the fur markings of each raccoon are different, like a unique identity feature.This kind of phenomenon of similar patterns appearing in the three generations of grandparents cannot be said to be completely absent, but it is also very rare.

However, with the habits of native cats, the matrilineal blood represents the family inheritance.As for the father, it basically exists in legends, and it is not too scumbag to see a few times during the kitten's growth.

It's not that these patterns are too special, and Guna and Hannah's mother may not pay attention to them.

"If it's the same pattern, wouldn't it be your father?" Serval suddenly said.

"No." Hannah shook her head.

"Won't?"

"As early as ten years ago, Nott's father and I passed away."

In short, at Qi Le's age, he could only be her nephew, not her brother.

Hearing Hannah's words, Guna couldn't help but fell into deep thought.Her original intention was to find out Qi Le's matrilineal lineage, but she didn't think so, but deduced his paternal lineage instead.

Thinking carefully about the male cats in the same litter as Hannah, Guna can only remember the general appearance. As for the personality and so on, her eyes are completely darkened.

If Qi Le's character is really influenced by his paternal line, then it has nothing to do with his mother, the problem must be Hannah and Nott's father, it must be so!

After listening to the analysis of several ladies, Father Cat raised his head and counted the vines hanging down from the air corridor.

For Qi Le, finding out who his parents are is not that important.

If he really recognized his relatives on the spot, it would be troublesome for him to have a mother-child reunion.After all, he didn't know anything about what happened before time travel, and his mother could more or less see something was wrong in person.

Knowing that no one present was his mother, Qi Le was inexplicably relieved.

As for the father?

Male cats are scumbags, as we all know.

Even if they face each other one day in the future, the other party may not be able to recognize him, and may even regard him as a threat and directly bark his teeth.With such a scumbag father, there is no need to worry, you can just slap him away with one paw, and you can sleep peacefully.

The mystery of the cat dad's life experience is half solved.

He is not Hannah's cub, but in terms of blood, Guna and Hannah are both his elders.As a junior, it is natural to be respectful and considerate in everything to satisfy the two aunts.

Therefore, when Guna pointed out that the beast horde was still going on, and the [-]th and [-]th districts were not safe, and Hannah, Summer and the others wanted to stay temporarily, Qi Le didn't hesitate at all, and nodded on the spot.

"We will pay for the crystal nucleus." Summer took Guna's words and told Qi Le that she would not live in vain and would pay the rent.While speaking, he untied the animal skin bag around his neck, which contained the crystal nucleus brought out from the territory.

"If that's not enough, I'll hunt."

The crystal nuclei are spread out in the sun, colorful and shiny.There are both exotic beasts and exotic plants, at least seven or eight species.

Summer has always had the habit of storing crystal nuclei, which is the experience she summed up from her life.Even if you leave the territory, you don't forget it behind you, and you can make an emergency if necessary.

Now it is more than enough to pay the room fee.

Leopard cat sisters do not have the habit of storing, but there is no lack of good things on them.

Ivy took out a transparent crystal nucleus and placed it in the sun, reflecting a colorful halo.

A fiery red phantom condenses in the center of the crystal nucleus, wrapped in energy, swaying gently, just like a raging fire, which looks extraordinarily magical.

"what is this?"

Qi Le saw such a crystal nucleus for the first time.

Breaking off the paws to do the math, looking through the crystal nuclei obtained so far, there is no similar type.

"This is not the crystal nucleus of the blue star population. Naturally, there is no similarity." Aiwei held the crystal nucleus with his front paws and handed it to Qi Le. "This crystal nucleus belongs to a foreign race."

Interracial?

Qi Le's eyes widened, he couldn't hide his surprise.

"Why are you so surprised?" The leopard cat flicked its tail and said calmly, "A year ago, the blue star was still a hunting ground for alien races. They hunted the blue star population, and of course we can hunt them too."

"Is this your trophy?" Guna asked.

"Yes." The leopard cat swung the tip of its tail back and forth, obviously in a good mood, "It's not easy to hunt aliens, and it's also difficult to take out the crystal nucleus intact."

"Indeed." Serval nodded, deeply agreeing.

"Even if they can be killed, aircraft will appear soon, and there is no time to take out the crystal nucleus." Seeing Qi Le's doubts, Caracal added.

"My luck is good." Ivy said, "The back neck of that foreign race was covered with a piece of hard armor, which happened to be cut open by me, and it fell to the ground together with the crystal nucleus."

Listening to Leopard Cat's description, Qi Le was [-]% sure that the one she killed was the Redstone Star.

He has seen businessmen from this galaxy at the base, and has also dealt with pirates and smugglers from this galaxy. Their gazes always make Qi Le feel uncomfortable.

It's like one of my treasured goods, not because of the strict order of the base, but also the deterrence of the captain, I must try to capture it, take it to other galaxies, and sell it for a high price.

Thinking of the slave city-states there, as well as their attitude towards the wild star and hunting ground star, Qi Le's mood took a turn for the worse.

If Blue Star joins the Galaxy Alliance, it will definitely not be able to avoid contact with other galaxies.How to deal with people like Redstone Star is really a question.

He admits he can't do it.

When encountering an annoying guy, [-]% of them will want to wave their paws before talking.In this case, a talent like the dark horse Isaac is very important.

According to the personality of the other party, if you are engaged in a similar job, you can do it quite well, not to mention that you can do it like a fish in water.

Qi Le was not aimless.

According to the news from the birds of prey, the beast horde has spread so far, and the sixth district has suffered a lot.

However, due to the existence of the buffalo herd, the strange beasts also did not take much advantage.

That group of big men had extremely violent tempers. Once they were annoyed, they would definitely give up fighting or die.

The buffalo rarely retreated when a herd came upon them.As long as the temper comes up, no matter how many alien beasts there are, they will choose to resist head-on.

The favorite fighting method of the buffalo herd is to press on the herd and play head-to-head collision with the herd.

With a body as strong as a hill and a pair of huge hard horns, even if they don't use their talents, they can make them invincible in battle. They rush left and right in the herd of beasts, easily knocking away the strange beasts in front of them, and crush them forward like tanks .

There are dark horses to make suggestions and come forward to contact other native species, so that the local population responds in a timely manner and helps each other. When the buffalo attacks the herd, it supports from the side. Before the herd arrives in large numbers, the first batch of aliens that enter All the beasts were taken down.

After listening to the raptor's report, Dad Cat pictured the scene at that time in his mind, and his beard trembled twice unconsciously.

Alien beast or native buffalo, which one is more brutal and unreasonable, and which one is the protagonist of the beast tide?

It's really hard to say.

In any case, it is precisely because of the joint efforts of the buffalo herd and the native horse that the native species in the area can calmly deal with the beast tide, strangle the advancing herd, and succeed in rounding up after the eleventh district.

Although there are losses in the battle, and the losses are not small, they will not hurt the fundamentals.For young members of the population, it is a rare experience, and they can take the opportunity to acquire richer knowledge and combat experience.

Leaving aside what happened in the sixth district, the cat father's attention returned to the leopard cat.

It's hard to say how powerful the alien crystal nucleus they gave is, it's really rare in Blue Star.

The cat dad thought it over and over again, and didn't want to accept it at first, but both sisters insisted.It didn't make sense, so he simply put down the crystal nucleus, grabbed Qi Le's paw and pressed it, and then pressed it with his own paw, with an extremely firm attitude.

"This is betting on you for the time being," Ivy said, "We will go out to hunt, collect the required crystal nuclei, and exchange them with you."

"It's really not necessary, I trust you." Qi Le said as he tried hard to withdraw his claws.The crystal nuclei are not smooth and have edges and corners. The leopard cat is so strong that the pressure on his paw pads hurts.

"It's not a question of belief or not, it's a principle!"

The leopard cat sisters were decisive, and the cat father drooped his beard and could only nod.

"Ok."

After getting a satisfactory answer, the leopard cat withdrew its claws.

Serval cats and caracal cats have very rich territories, and they have never had to worry about food sources, so there is no need to accumulate crystal nuclei.When you have to pay the rent, you will inevitably get into a dilemma.

After discussing with each other, the two chose to hunt first, and then pay the room fee after catching the prey.

"There is a large area of ​​unclaimed territory in the eleventh district, and there is no limit to hunting." Cat Dad introduced, "In the past few days, there have been strange beasts crossing the border one after another. Affected by the tide of beasts, their temperaments are very violent. We block most of them, and it is inevitable that we will still be killed." Some entered the area, some crossed the border and entered the ninth area, and some stayed nearby, so be careful when hunting."

Serval and Caracal nodded.

In order to avoid accidents, the two decided that they must go together when they go hunting.

Hannah is Qi Le's aunt, and based on their relationship, Qi Le originally wanted to say that they are all relatives, so paying the rent would be an exception.Hannah shook her head.

Even if there is a blood relationship, it is necessary to settle accounts clearly.

"Even if it is a biological mother and child, there are territorial boundaries. If you accidentally cross the boundary, you will send an alarm to the other party."

"Guna once fought side by side with you to help you guard the territory. In return, you don't need to charge her room fee. But I'm going to live in District [-], so I can't afford to pay even one crystal nucleus."

"In any case, this is the rule that must be followed."

Hannah insisted on paying the crystal nucleus with reason and evidence.

Qi Le had no choice but to accept it.

After everything was negotiated, Qi Le stopped the serval and caracals who were about to set off, and asked them to suspend their hunting and go to the newly completed building first to confirm their foothold.

When repairing the damaged buildings, Squirrel and Mole worked harder and harder. After discussing, they simply implemented the plan ahead of time and further expanded the scope of the market.

The squirrel worked extremely efficiently. In just a few days, it used the ore accumulated by Qi Le and the materials provided by Sea Lion to build another row of houses around the original building.

The houses skirt the woodland, avoiding the intact arbor, and are connected to each other by corridors.

At first glance, the layout has no rules, it looks a little messy,

Walking in the middle, you will find order in the chaos, the air corridors are high and low, and the location is very cleverly chosen, which can be called the best path.

"If you want to live together, the room rate can be halved." Qi Le said, "If you plan to live alone, you can choose the houses next to you."

Summer discusses with Sister Leopard Cat and decides to live with Sister Guna.

After looking at the room layout, Hannah and Guna lived on the second floor, and the first floor was reserved for Summer and the two leopard cats.The rooms are spacious enough for their daily activities.

The caracal and the serval chose a nearby building, each occupying one floor, leaving enough space for each other and convenient for hunting together.

After the matter was settled, Qi Le said goodbye to several ladies, and planned to go to Squirrel and ask if the market would continue to expand.What kind of materials are needed for the expansion.

Now that he has enough time, he can go to the beach again, or go to the base to trade.

Halfway through the journey, a barn owl's cry suddenly came to my ears.

Qi Le looked up and found that Yas and Alan were flying from afar.

Arriving near, before landing, Yasi said: "I found traces of zombies near the border of the lake of death. There are more than ten zombies, all of which are high-level zombies!"

More than a dozen?

Are they all advanced zombies?

Knowing that Yas would not joke about such a matter, Qi Le's heart sank, and his expression instantly became serious.
