Qi Le

The squirrels work together in a division of labor, and their digging efficiency is extremely high.

Gray squirrels dig the ground with their strong claws, while red and black squirrels quickly widen the passage.The excess soil was pushed out of the hole, and when the large army passed through, the gap was blocked by the chipmunks at the back to ensure that it would not be discovered by natural enemies.

After the narrowest section of the road, the channel gets wider and wider.At the widest point, four squirrels can run side by side.

After walking for about half a day, the leading squirrel issued a signal, and the team temporarily stopped.

"Take a rest first."

As soon as the words were spoken, the squirrels were either lying on the ground or leaning against the cave wall, with their front paws resting on their cheeks, their round bellies rising and falling, looking quite funny.

Qi Le put down the kitten, let go of the straw rope he was biting in his mouth, and was about to lie down when he suddenly noticed a light flickering above his head.Looking up, not sure what it was, he turned to ask the red squirrel sitting beside him: "Red Oak, do you know what that is?"

The red squirrel walked over a few steps, straightened up and looked at it for a while, the two strands of long hair on the tips of its ears shook slightly: "It looks like a crystal nucleus, but it doesn't quite look like it."

Really uncertain, the red squirrel called a companion, but unfortunately there was still no answer.

"Dig it out and see."

Just do it.

The red squirrel found the right position, jumped to the top of the passage, supported by its hind paws and tail, and began to dig hard with its front paws.Falling dust filled the passage, and the squirrels kept sweeping their tails, Qi Le hurriedly hugged the kitten to avoid it.

"Strange." Finding that the spar was inlaid on a ring, the squirrel tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then decided to continue digging, and quickly dug out the ring completely.

When you're done, the squirrel bites the ring, turns over and falls back to the ground.

"Give you."

The ring has been flattened, and there are three grooves on the outside, the middle one is inlaid with the spar Qi Le found, the other two are empty, and there are black marks on the edge, like dried blood.

Curious, the squirrels approached one after another, looked at the bracelet placed in front of Qi Le, tried to pull it with their paws, but were confused.

"It is indeed not a crystal nucleus."

"It doesn't look like an alien thing either."

"Just ordinary stones?"

"I seem to have seen... zombies somewhere!"

A chipmunk yelled, and the squirrels were startled at the same time.Qi Ning got into Qi Le's arms and looked at the guy who made the sound with wide eyes, not understanding why he was so excited.

"I've seen it on zombies!" Chipmunk patted his paws and said loudly, "That wave of corpses, that wave of corpses that attacked the territory! A high-level zombie wore this on his paws."

"You say that...it seems to be the case."

After being reminded by the chipmunk, the squirrels looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense for no reason.

Squirrels are not afraid of ordinary zombies. On the contrary, under special circumstances, zombies will become their backup food.But this does not include advanced zombies, especially the ones that have evolved to a certain level and have frighteningly high attack power.

"Is this something from a zombie?"

Qi Le flicked the bracelet, and scratched the spar with his claws.

In an instant, light spots appeared inside the spar, and the surface was faintly heated.When he wanted to take a closer look, the spar returned to its original state in an instant, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Qi Le's heart pounded, and he didn't touch the bracelet again.The kitten stretched out its paw curiously, and he immediately held it down.

"do not touch."

The kitten nodded obediently, and lay motionless beside Qi Le.

The squirrels obviously didn't want to keep this thing.

In any case, being invaded by zombies is not a good memory.

In order to completely expel the invaders, all the several ethnic groups suffered heavy losses.For a period of time after that, the raptors rarely came to hunt in the territory, and it seemed that the residents here needed to recuperate.

"You can't leave this near the territory, it must be thrown away as soon as possible." said the oldest black squirrel.

Qi Le didn't speak, but only pricked up his ears, his eyes full of doubts.

"This thing seems to be able to attract zombies." The black squirrel thought for a while and explained, "The zombies in District [-] are very strange. No matter how many you kill, they will gather together again soon, and there are more and more advanced zombies. Ten There hasn’t been a wave of corpses in the second district for a long time, but it often appears in the eleventh district.”

"Corpse wave?" Qi Le couldn't help but interject.

"Yes." The black squirrel clenched its paws, and the atmosphere became more dignified. "Zombies cannot reproduce. Even if they are not completely extinct, corpses should not appear frequently, but..."

Having said that, the black squirrel paused.As far as this matter was concerned, the squirrels could not figure it out anyway.

Qi Le was also puzzled.

He didn't know how many people in Blue Star had turned into zombies, and he didn't know how many people existed so far.However, after hundreds of years, corpses still appear frequently, and they are concentrated in one area, so there must be problems.

Either the intelligence of the squirrels is wrong, and the zombies can reproduce in a unique way; or there is something else wrong.

If it can reproduce... cell division?

Qi Le couldn't help shivering.

"Do zombies often cross the border?" This is Qi Le's biggest worry at the moment.

Why the zombies gathered and why they didn't disappear completely, Qi Le couldn't figure it out for the time being and didn't intend to investigate further.His first consideration is the safety of his "new home".

After finally escaping from the spaceship of the alien race, there is no reason to be a snack for advanced zombies.

"Don't worry about that." The red squirrel comforted Qi Le, "Only in rare cases, advanced zombies will leave the center of District [-], let alone cross the border. Ordinary zombies are nothing, just drive them away. If there is a wave of zombies Appear, we can hide underground and escape through the tunnel."

After suffering a big loss, the squirrels learned from the pain and came up with an effective method to deal with advanced zombies and zombie hordes.

Qi Le nodded.

He has never experienced a wave of corpses, and referring to the experience of the squirrels is the best choice.

"This thing must be thrown far away." The gray squirrel suggested, "It's better to bury it with soil."

Qi Le didn't object.

In any case, safety is the most important thing.He has a family and a mouth now, and he can't take risks for curiosity.

After some discussion among the squirrels, the red squirrel sent the bracelet to the farthest part of the tunnel and buried it deep in the ground.After the work was over, the large troops continued on the road.

The kitten lay on Qi Le's back, with its snow-white paws pressing on the back of Qi Le's neck.The paw pads are very soft, every time Qi Le is attracted to turn his head, the kitten will lean up and rub his forehead a few times.

Several times in succession, Qi Le burst out with happiness, and pink bubbles appeared all over his body.

The squirrels dug as they walked. After walking for five days, they finally turned into a familiar passage.

Back in the familiar place, the black pine and red oak were sniffing around, feeling happy, when suddenly there was a scream of warning ahead.Immediately afterwards, several figures rushed over aggressively.

When the two sides encountered each other head-on, they were all stunned at the same time, their paws froze in mid-air.

"Red Oak?"

"Black pine!"

"Red Oak and Black Pine are back!"

Recognizing the returning clan, the atmosphere immediately changed from tension to joy.The squirrels rubbed each other's cheeks and swept their big tails back and forth, excited and excited.

Leaping over the sparkling fur balls, Qi Le said goodbye to the squirrels, and brought Qi Ning back to the ground.

It was already evening, the sun was about to sink into the horizon, and the sky was getting dark.Qi Le raised his eyes and found that the spaceship he once lived in was not far away. He lowered his head and licked the kitten, congratulating himself for his good luck.

"Qi Le."

There was a cry from behind, Qi Le turned his head and found that it was two red squirrels.One was holding a small bag of crystal nuclei, and the other was dragging the moth's corpse.

"You forgot these in the burrow."

"Thank you." Qi Le sincerely thanked.

"Do you still want to live there?" Squirrel pointed to the spaceship not far away.

"Yes." Qi Le nodded.

The two squirrels looked at each other and said, "We'll take you there."

Taking a look at the sky, Qi Le did not reject the squirrels' offer.

After three months away, the spaceship looked even more dilapidated.The "patches" made of ant shells are very strong, but the wooden boards on the roof of the boat have disappeared.

The squirrels left behind crystal nuclei and moths, and bid farewell to Qi Le in front of the hatch.Qi Le didn't go home right away, but left Qi Ning on the ground, climbed to the roof by himself, and looked in through the crack.

As soon as he boarded the cabin roof, Qi Le immediately smelled a dangerous aura.Finding a piece of faded snake skin hanging on the crack, he immediately had a bad feeling.

Been away for too long, there are new residents here?

Qi Le showed his fangs and claws, and knocked hard on the deck.Almost instantly, a black shadow popped out of the spaceship.

The triangular head is like a millstone, covered with khaki scales.There is a row of bone spurs near the neck, and the tip is shining with a cold light.The huge mouth opened, and a gust of wind rushed towards him, causing Qi Le to take a few steps backwards, almost falling off the spaceship.

Raising his front paw and waving it, Qi Le immediately confirmed that it was a strange beast in front of him.

All the evolved native species, except for the increase in size and the ability to change shape, have almost the same appearance as their ancestors.Beasts are still animals, and birds are still birds, including squirrels and moles that have undergone a turn in evolution, and they are all very similar to those before the disaster.

Alien beasts are not.

Like zombies, they are infected by viruses and gradually become another creature over the long years.Just like the two-headed black snake and flying lizard that Qi Le met before, the difference can be seen at a glance.

The ancestor of the person in front of him is probably a giant python, but his shape changed during evolution. Bone spurs grew on his back, and the scales on his body continued to harden, just like a layer of bones wrapped in snake skin.

"Meow!"

Avoiding the bone snake's attack, Qi Le turned around in mid-air, and swung his sharp claws fiercely, leaving three bloodstains on the top of his head before the attacker retreated to the cabin.

The bone snake ate the pain and spit out black letters.

Qi Le jumped up again, avoiding the bone snake's fangs, and his sharp claws were firmly embedded in the bone snake's flesh, trying to drag him out of the cabin with the help of the inertia of his fall.

The bone snake has a huge body, so its weight is naturally not light.

Qi Le flapped his hind paws in mid-air, but he couldn't pull all the bone snakes out of the cabin.Instead, as the snake's head kept swinging, it seemed that it would be thrown away in the next second.

"Dad!" Seeing this scene, Qi Ning immediately rushed forward, jumped up, poked out his little paws, and firmly grabbed Qi Le's tail, "Dad, I will help you!"

Qi Le let out a cold hiss, and almost fell into the air in pain.

The movement at the spaceship alarmed the squirrel.

Discovering a giant snake hanging in the air, Qi Le grabbed the snake's head, and Qi Ning hung on Qi Le's tail. The squirrels didn't have time to be dazed, so they immediately yelled a few times and rushed forward to help.

The red oak and black pine took the lead, and the squirrels climbed up to the roof of the cabin neatly, piercing the snake with their sharp claws, and pulling the bone snake outward together.The chipmunks jumped up one by one, hung on the bone spur on the bone snake's neck, looked at the right moment, and aimed at the bone snake's eyes and gave a fierce claw.

The bone snake felt the pain, and flicked its tail vigorously.However, his body was too huge, and his tail hit the bulkhead, making blunt noises one after another.

"Qi Le!" Red Oak firmly grasped the bone snake's scales, looked at Qi Le who was hanging on the snake's head, and said loudly, "Grab his head!"

Qi Le and Squirrel worked hard together, trying to pull the bone snake out of the cabin.However, the snake's body was too huge, and when it was pulled halfway, it got stuck in the crack of the spaceship.

There are several ant shells inserted near the crack. The bone snake was used to help shed its skin before, but now it has become his life-threatening house.The more you struggle, the deeper the ant shell will pierce.

The bone snake had just finished shedding its skin, and its scales hadn't reached the strongest hardness, making it vulnerable to an ant shell.

"Son, go down first."

Qi Le flicked his tail to ensure that the kitten landed safely, then turned over in mid-air, swung with the momentum, and landed firmly on the back of the bone snake's neck.Avoiding the sharp bone spurs, the two hind claws grasped firmly, and the front claws swung out alternately. After a few shadowless claws, the bone snake's scalp was almost scratched, revealing the blue-green bones.

Seeing this, the squirrels just gnawed without ordering.

The bone snake couldn't move at all, it was completely fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered.

It's his bad luck.

It's not good where to molt, but I chose the spaceship on the border.

I thought that to avoid being hunted and killed by other races, and with a bigger body, I could easily regain the territory and dominate in a small area.As a result, the luck was bad, and he met the cat father who brought his son home.

Three months ago, Qi Le might not have been his opponent, and it was more likely that he would be treated as a snack.

Now, after eating and drinking for three months, all the meals are high-grade alien animal meat, Qi Le's body has been strengthened, and his combat power has soared several levels. The beast is completely easy to catch.

The bone snake completely lost its fighting power, and took its last breath after struggling for a long time.

If God gave him another chance, even if he was killed, he would not choose to shed his skin here.Why didn't anyone tell him that native cats are so fierce, it's so unreasonable!

After confirming that the prey was too dead, Qi Le changed his form, pulled out a piece of ant shell, and cut the bone snake's body in two.One section slid down the hull, and the other half fell into the cabin.

After putting together the two sections of the snake's body and placing them on the open space in front of the spaceship, Qi Le finally saw how long this one was.

Roughly estimated at least 15 meters from head to tail.Pulling the tail of the snake, Qi Le looked at his claws, shaking his beard involuntarily, feeling exasperated and raised his eyebrows.

"Father is amazing!" The kitten walked over, eyes full of stars.

Qi Le puffed out his chest, handed the bone snake's crystal nucleus to his son, pointed to the little squirrels that came out of the hole, and said, "Let's go play with Hongguo and the others."

The kitten licked Qi Le's chin, lowered its head and picked up the crystal nucleus, then turned and ran to the little squirrels guarding the entrance of the cave.

"Hongguo, let's divide the crystal nucleus!"

When the cat father and the squirrel were sharing the snake meat, Moran had already sneaked into the depths of the forest, successfully evading the attacks of strange beasts and mutated plants, and temporarily deceived himself on a tree without vines.

Not long after the rest, there was a sudden noise under the tree.

Moran frowned, and carefully moved away the branches in front of him, only to find that a large number of zombies had gathered, confronting the strange beasts that had returned to the forest.

The zombies let out a deep roar, the beast bared its fangs, the two sides refused to give in, the atmosphere was tense, and the battle was imminent.

Several high-level zombies were clustered among the corpses, directing the actions of ordinary zombies.There is a ring on each wrist, just like the one Qi Le found in the tunnel.
