Qi Le

Turtle Ethan is cautious about the arrival of fin whales.

Since he took control of the waters, orcas and humpbacks have passed by regularly, and fin whales have been encountered only a handful of times.

During the rainy season, these big guys like to move alone in the open sea, chasing swarms of mutated shrimps and fish.The only small groups that can be seen are mostly composed of female whales and calf whales, and the number will not exceed three pairs of mother and child.

After entering the dry season, female and male whales without calves will rush to the first and second areas, gather in cold waters, look for mates there, and prepare for the next breeding season.

After mating is over, the female and male whales part ways again.If they are used to living in different sea areas, they may not be able to see each other until the cubs grow up.

Of course, not every native whale will participate in this "event".Every year, due to various reasons, some fin whales miss the breeding season and have to wait for the next year.

But in any case, even if the time delay, these whales will still swim to the colder waters.According to the information provided by the frigate bird, this fin whale is not lost, but is swimming straight towards the shallow sea.

This confuses the turtle.

What is this fin whale doing all the way to the eighth district, away from other tribesmen?

There is no krill here, which they like to eat.

Before Ethan could figure it out, huge waves suddenly rose up in the distant sea, rising up into a drainage column, and the momentum was astonishing.

After the water waves, a large group of real dolphins jumped out of the sea, flipped and whirled in the air, and brought up large white waves.

After the dolphins, a pod of killer whales lined up and sprinted forward, just in time to crash into the churning waves.

As the waves surged, the female leader's cry came out underwater, and the group of whales responded, collectively opening their energy barriers and surrounding another batch of sea beasts floating from the deep sea.

These sea beasts are very special. Compared with their "relatives" in the shallow sea, they are larger in size and more fierce in temperament.

Each sea beast is more than five meters long, with the head of a swordfish and the body of a shark.The tail fin stood up more than two meters, with bony spurs all over the edge.

The two pairs of pectoral fins spread out, and the dark green fish bones spread out in a fan shape, connected by a transparent film in the middle.

The spine is raised in rows of spikes.The spikes are hollow and filled with venom.Once stabbed, the venom will be injected along the wound, making the wounded miserable.

There are scales on both sides of the sea beast's body, a hook-shaped cartilage extending from the top of the head, and a ball connected to the top, which glistens in the dark and is a sharp weapon for catching prey in the deep sea.

Anyone who is attracted by the light and swims near the sea beast will fall into the mouth of the predator.

There are tentacles under the sea beast's chest, some have two, some have three, and the number is not uniform.

In the deep sea, sea beasts are used to acting alone.Floating on the surface of the sea, when swimming in groups, they must keep a considerable distance from each other.If you get too close, the tentacles are likely to become entangled. If you want to untie it, you must either cut off your own wrist, or let another broken wrist that is entangled.

After several lessons, each sea beast will deliberately keep a distance from its companions.Even though he was affected by the beast tide and became more violent and irritable than usual, his instinct for survival has not completely disappeared after all.

The dolphins were the first to notice the situation and immediately alerted their companions.

Sea lions and seals swam over to check and found that it was a scaly sea beast. They immediately stretched their forelimbs to express that they were not interested in this thing.

The killer whales saw the group of sea beasts from a distance, but their reactions were different.

Scaled sea beasts are indeed not tasty, but each has three crystal nuclei, three!Moreover, there are poison sacs in the body, and the bone spurs also contain poison. After catching them, they will be handed over to Qi Le to sell at the base. Most likely, they will be sold at a high price and exchanged for more useful things.

"Tali, Mira, open the barrier and surround the target!"

The female leader gave an order, and the whale group quickly started to move.

Barriers with a length and width of more than ten meters appeared one after the other, and the edges were connected to each other tightly, forming a barrier stretching for hundreds of meters, preventing the sea beasts from moving forward.

The male killer whale swims on the edge of the barrier and is responsible for pulling energy to gradually close the barrier inward.

Under the water surface, the female leader and younger sister dived rapidly, swam right under the sea beast, opened the barrier from the bottom of the water, and kept pushing upwards.

The herd of sea beasts found something was wrong, violently swung their tail fins, waved their tentacles, and rushed towards the killer whale that was encircling it.

Dare to head-to-head with killer whales, you can be called a warrior.

However, what they were facing was not someone else, but a well-known ocean boss.The invincible fighting method in the deep sea, when encountering whales, they all give up.

The killer whales were not interested in entangled with them, and strengthened the barrier at a faster speed.

In less than a moment, the water surface and underwater barriers were all closed, and the sea beast seemed to be packed into a cylindrical container, rushing left and right, even diving, but couldn't find a way out.

The top of the barrier is not closed.

If the sea beast has the ability to fly fish, or has amazing jumping ability, it can try to escape.

Unfortunately, they are deep-sea species, with top-notch swimming speed and strong resistance to stress. In terms of jumping ability, they are not even comparable to dolphin cubs.

Let alone "fly".

The killer whales completed the encirclement, and the sea beasts were collectively put into the "jar".The sea beast frantically swung its tail fins and charged forward, even the bones on its forehead were broken against the barrier, and it was still unable to break out of the encirclement.

As the barrier got tighter and tighter, the sea beasts had no way to go to the sky and nowhere to go, so they could only keep crowding together.

The activity space shrunk sharply, and the phenomenon of tentacles entanglement began to occur again.Some sea beasts fell into a complete rage, and even ignored them, and began to attack their own race.

In an instant, the sea water was dyed red.

Killer whales don't need to attack, as long as the barrier energy is maintained to ensure that the scaled sea beasts cannot escape, they can wait for them to finish fighting and directly dig out the crystal nucleus from the dead sea beasts.

The dolphins swam around the barrier, seized the opportunity to educate the young dolphins, pointed out the weakness of the scaly sea beasts, and solemnly warned them that the orcas were very easy to deal with this group of sea beasts, and it seemed that they did not need much effort.If it was him, there was no barrier to isolate him, so he needed to be more careful to avoid being injured in the roundup.

"The combat power of these huge deep-sea beasts may not be inferior to mutant sharks, and some of them are much higher."

"If you encounter the king squid, remember not to go forward. They are not what we can deal with, and the sperm whale is their nemesis."

In the eyes of the dolphin matriarch, there is no shame in admitting that she can't handle individual sea beasts.Only by knowing how much you are, can you live better after independence, and you will not lose your life because of recklessness and blind arrogance.

Although the native species are strong, they will definitely be invincible in front of strange beasts?

That's a joke.

She doesn't know about the land, but as far as the ocean is concerned, the king squid is an extremely difficult target.Except for the sperm whales that feed on it, and the killer whales that have evolved into super hunters, most marine populations will avoid the adult king squid.

Sea lions and seals are not interested in sea beasts, even if they have three crystal nuclei.

Sea lions were busy sorting out stones and gravel and turning them into metal plates that Qi Le needed.The seals were on the sidelines, using their flexibility on the seabed to move larger stones and dig out building materials buried deep under the sand.

The melee battle between the scaled sea beasts was coming to an end, and the killer whale was about to withdraw from the barrier to reap the spoils, when a column of water suddenly rose on the distant sea.Immediately afterwards, a huge figure broke through the water and smashed into the sea, setting off two rows of huge waves.

"It's a fin whale."

Discovering the identity of the visitor, the female leader immediately summoned the tribe.

"Don't worry about those sea beasts, go over there and stop him!"

The killer whales gathered quickly and followed Aisha.

The turtle swam over at the fastest speed, chased after the female leader, and said, "Aisha, don't rush to do it yet."

"what?"

"The fin whale took the initiative to show signs, and it should be telling us that he came to this sea area alone, and he did not have any malicious intentions."

If not, there is no need to jump out of the water at a certain distance and make a large splash.

"That's true."

Orcas and humpbacks are familiar and know some of the other's unique behaviors.

The behavior of fin whales is somewhat similar to that of humpback whales.

When contacting Ethan, the female leader finally nodded and ordered to stop the attack.

The swimming speed of the whales began to slow down, and they were no longer as aggressive as before.The fin whale also seemed to have a sense, and broke out of the water again, smashing a large wave.

As the distance got closer and closer, the killer whale did not show its attacking intention, and its vigilance remained undiminished; the fin whale kept jumping up from the sea, showing in a unique way that he was not hostile.

About [-] meters apart, both sides stopped at the same time.

The female killer whale leader raised her head and looked at the big man opposite.

The fin whale sprayed out a jet of water and spoke first: "Hi, I'm Crouch."

It can be heard from the sound that this is a very young male whale.

Aisha turned to look at Ethan.

As the owner of this sea area, if a "guest" comes, he should be the one to come forward.

"Hello." The turtle swung its forelimbs and stretched its neck, "I'm Ethan, the owner of this sea area. May I ask why you appear here? As far as I know, most fin whales should be here this season. Near the second district and the first district."

"That's true. I was also in the second district before, and I left not long ago." Crouch sprayed another jet of water, "I left the group because of the news brought by the humpback whale."

"News about humpback whales?" Ethan asked in surprise.

And the humpback whales?

"Yes." Crouch explained, "I heard a lot of interesting things from them, including the fishing grounds in this sea area, and the market in District [-]. By the way, there is also the maverick raccoon Flower cat."

"So?" Turtle looked at Crouch.

"So, I left my clan and decided to take a look for myself." Crouch grinned, his excitement palpable, "If it's convenient, I plan to land near here."

"Log in?" Ethan's expression was chapped, and he couldn't keep up with the conversation.

"District [-] doesn't rely on the sea, right?" Crouch said.

Ethan nodded.

"In this case, I can only land near here."

"It's the dry season, are you sure you want to go inland?" Ethan asked.

"I've already made a plan, and there will definitely be time." Klaus said seriously, "Also, if possible, I hope to find a guide. I am willing to pay for the crystal nucleus."

In the final analysis, it was his first time landing, and the land was no better than the ocean, so it would be bad if he got lost.

After listening to Crouch, Ethan began to consider whether he should accept this "business" and go with Crouch.

He is not short of crystal nuclei, but he will not push the benefits of being delivered to his door.Furthermore, if you go with the other party and go to the eleventh district, you can complete the previous plan that was suspended due to the beast tide, and walk around the alien base.

"I can lead the way for you." Ethan made a decision.

"Great!" the fin whale cheered and paid the deposit on the spot.

As long as he doesn't use his talents, the krill crystal nuclei he has eaten will accumulate, wrapped in transparent blisters, and the weight can be measured in tons.

Seeing this development, the killer whales were collectively speechless.

Even if the sea turtles land in the dry season, the fin whales have to come again?

Turning his head to look at his eager son, and then at his daughter who was also curious, the female leader and his sister exchanged glances, or else, take this opportunity, everyone go to District [-]?

The decision of the marine population is temporarily unknown to the cat father.

At this moment, he is controlling the aircraft to lower the altitude, face to face with the white-robed zombie in the water, and start a historic "dialogue".

A corpse and a cat started a dialogue, and the fierce battle was eased.

The black spiders and native ants began to besiege but not attack, and the army uniform zombies and skeleton zombies also stopped attacking one after another.When encountering a zombie, continue to roar, without the other party's hands, the zombie in military uniform will hold the person down first.

Seeing this situation, the cat father became more and more sure that the behavior of these zombies was completely different from Gu Xuan, and they could indeed try to communicate.

If it is possible, maybe the "crisis" in front of us can be resolved without killing people.

The dozen or so in front of him are all high-level zombies, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong.If you fight head-to-head, your side can certainly win, but casualties will inevitably occur in the process.

Most importantly, he really wanted to know why these zombies appeared in the lake of death, was it just a coincidence, or there was another reason.

"We followed the lynx."

The white-robed zombie walked out of the lake and stood on the shore, staring at Qi Le with scarlet eyes.The frightening things did exist, but they lacked the ferocity and madness that Qi Le's impression should have.

"Following the lynx?" Father Cat looked solemn, "Are you going to hunt?"

"No." After saying two words, the white-robed zombie suddenly stopped, with a trace of distress in his expression.

At first, I followed the lynx because I was drawn by emotions.Stuck near the lake of death, it was a voice from deep in his memory, telling him that there was something under the lake, but he just couldn't remember what it was.

How to explain this reason?

Gradually recovering memories and unfamiliar emotions often plunged him into confusion, and he couldn't control it, so he would stand in place and be lost in thought.

Father Cat waited quietly for a while, but the zombie on the opposite side never answered.

The zombie in military uniform suddenly took a step forward, baring out its sharp fangs.

"We don't eat lynx."

"Why?" Father Cat showed surprise.

"There are so many reasons. In short, they just don't eat." Compared with the white-robed zombies, the zombies in military uniform were more emotional, "You don't eat either."

Qi Le thought about it carefully for a while, and a thought flashed through his mind.

But is this possible?

"You mean, you don't eat native species?"

"Yes." The zombie in military uniform nodded, "It can be killed, eat crystal nuclei, but not meat."

Confirming the guess in his heart, Qi Le tilted his head, not feeling at all relaxed, but more mysteries emerged in his mind.

"why?"

"Why?" The zombie in military uniform frowned.

"why do not you eat?"

"do not know."

"..." This answer is really crisp and neat.

Father Cat was speechless when the white-robed zombie suddenly said, "We came here with the lynx. There is something under this lake."

Father Cat thought about it carefully, and said, "There is an underground bunker under this lake, which may have been left before the catastrophe. As for the builders, they should be native humans."

"Native humans...underground bunkers?"

"Yes." Qi Le continued, "I haven't gone down, but I have seen pictures and materials. It is very strong inside, with many rooms, and it was once used as a laboratory."

"laboratory?"

"A high-level zombie named Gu Xuan. He once hid here and used alien beasts and alien races for experiments."

As soon as Papa Cat finished speaking, the expressions of the white-robed zombies and the army-uniformed zombies all changed, and even the skeleton zombies tightened their jaws.

"You know each other?" Dad Cat guessed.

"Know?" The white-robed zombie's voice was uncertain, "No, I don't know, I can't remember."

It was hot, as if the barrier in the third district was about to collapse, and there was a voice in his head telling him that he must stop the corpses. When he heard the name of "Gu Xuan", the familiar voice sounded again, warning him : Dangerous, must be stopped, destroyed if necessary!

Prevent?

destroy?

stop what?

What is it that destroys?

The more the white-robed zombie thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Looking at the white-robed zombie in the fugue, Dad Cat moved his ears, and suddenly realized that this one is indeed different, in addition to being able to communicate, he even has the attribute of distraction.

In the universe, a battle has just ended.

Shial put away the laser cannon, turned and returned to the flagship.

The body is still metalized, like a cold statue.

Behind him, there are a large number of wreckage of warships floating.Soldiers from Blue Star Base and Star Five are cleaning up the battlefield and searching for the wounded.

The battle lasted for three full days, jointly initiated by the first clan and the third clan, trying to stop the base fleet in the middle and eliminate it before the space jump point.

In the end, they still underestimated Xial's combat effectiveness.

The captain, who was covered in air-conditioning, continued the legend of "carrying a laser cannon against a battleship", leading the base soldiers and heading straight for the opponent's flagship.

In the fierce exchange of fire, the flagship commander died in battle, and the officers in the command warehouse, one by one, were all named by artillery fire.

The command system was completely paralyzed, and the combined fleet was leaderless.

All this seems to be a repetition of the tragedy of Samuel and Paine.

Governor Alecto did not personally participate in the battle, but commanded the fleet instead of Xial, and used artillery to contain the rest of the warships, so that Xiar could lock the target and paralyze the opponent's command system.

Facts have proved that this way of fighting is very risky and the most efficient.

The alloy door slid open to both sides, and Shiar walked into the command cabin.

Governor Alecto turned around, raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, he heard the other party say: "The battlefield is cleaned up, and I will send you to the nearest star affiliated to the Star."

"This is different from the plan." Governor Alecto said.

"I plan to return to Blue Star as soon as possible." Xial walked to the command chair and switched on the communication system.It's a pity that the signal was connected not long ago, and the cat father hung up in a hurry before he could say a few words.

In an instant, the temperature in the cabin dropped by five degrees.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Governor Alecto glanced at him, and suddenly smiled when he found out who Xiar was contacting.

"For the native species of the blue star?"

"Do you have an opinion?"

Seeing that his nephew was cold, Governor Alecto smiled and shook his head: "No, of course not. In fact, I am very pleased that you can care so much about your spouse. To be honest, I thought you would be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

Shial: "..."

Sanders turned his head silently.

Except for Governor Alecto, there is probably no other person in the entire alliance who dares to talk to the captain like this and is not afraid of being bombarded.
