Qi Le

The destruction of a pirate merchant ship is only the beginning.

The parent star continuously received images from the spaceship, confirming that the blue star may indeed be invaded by pirates. Despite repeated obstruction by the speaker, the fleet still issued a permanent order.

Shial has the right to intercept all spaceships passing by Blue Star, and conduct an investigation on suspicious fleets.In return for stationing in the border galaxy, he has the right to collect a certain percentage of commercial taxes from regular merchant ships.

For galaxies with prosperous commerce, such as Star Six, it is naturally profitable to collect commercial taxes.But Blue Star is located in a remote place, and even the upper echelons of the fleet who gave the order don't think that Shiar can really benefit from it.

In essence, the symbolism of this order is far greater than the reality.

The speaker can't shake the decision of the upper echelon of the fleet, and can't directly intervene in the management of the border galaxy. He can only watch the order come down, and there is no way.

As Oren's trial was getting closer, the speaker had to give up his previous plan and concentrate on convincing the clan elders.

"If you can't keep your status as an heir, at least you can't be completely abandoned by the family!"

Xial broke with the family, accumulated countless military exploits, and still stood still on the military rank.Once Oren is exiled by the family, not to mention occupying a place in the fleet, whether he can board the battleship is a problem!

As Oren's father, he will also be affected.

"We have to think of a way."

In the spacious meeting room, the speaker kept pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.The long red hair was tied behind his head, and a shadow was cast over his handsome face.

Before the speaker could come up with a countermeasure, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the closed door was pushed open abruptly, and Oren's mother walked in quickly, clasping her hands tightly in front of her, with an expression of shock and anger that could not be concealed.

"Hetty, something happened."

"What?" The Speaker looked at his wife, "What happened?"

"Oren was poisoned in the cell, and the Senate refused to let him go. Only medical officers were allowed to enter for treatment. Currently, his life is not in danger, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no next time."

The speaker stayed where he was, looked at his wife with dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Who did it?"

"There are not many people who can approach the detention room." The speaker's wife took a deep breath and said, "I suspect they are family members."

"why?"

"Half of the family members who died in Blue Star this time were related to Oren. Especially the Popler brothers and sisters and Vatule who died in the medical cabin."

Since the spaceship of the military academy arrived at the home planet, everything that happened in the hunting ground can no longer be concealed.

The father of the Popler brothers and sisters had common interests with the Speaker, so they didn't intend to go into details, but their mother hated the murderer who killed a pair of children.Moran, who did the work, disappeared in Blue Star and was probably dead. Oren, who was indirectly responsible, became her target.

Oren was even more inseparable from Wattule's death.

You don't need Shiar and others to come forward, just listen to the testimonies of the military cadets, and you can deduce the "truth".

No one can predict what the angry mother will do.Coupled with the help of caring people behind the scenes, Oren's poisoning is likely to be just the beginning.

"Oren cannot be allowed to leave the cell." The speaker's wife gradually regained her composure, "However, someone must be strictly guarded to prevent such things from happening again."

"I understand." The Speaker said in a deep voice.

"No, you don't understand." The speaker's wife said in a colder voice, "Oren can stand trial and die for honor, but he can't die in the detention room for no reason. The name of 'coward' will shame the whole family! Before four generations of ancestors, the glory of the first clan did not belong to us, if we fall from the top, you know what is waiting for us."

The speaker did not speak, his expression became more and more gloomy.

"There is only one heir, and there are no less than [-] family members who are as powerful as Oren or even surpass him. What you should do is not to absolve him of the crime with solid evidence, but to let him bravely admit and bear the responsibility of his actions. as a result of!"

"Fusta, are you confused?!"

"No, I'm sober. I have two sons, and I know how to choose." The speaker's wife continued, "Don't bother Shiar anymore, and don't try to let him walk into the courtroom instead of Oren. He Abandoned by the father's family, but still protected by the mother's family, if you anger that lunatic Star Five, the consequences are not something you can bear."

"Fusta..."

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not give up my son, let alone my husband." The speaker's wife paused before continuing, "I hope you can think it through."

After finishing the words, the speaker's wife nodded slightly, and gracefully turned to leave.

The speaker stood where he was, staring at the door that opened and closed, without making a sound for a long time.

Everything that happened on the mother star did not affect the crew far away on the blue star.

After destroying three pirate merchant ships in a row, Shiar ordered the spaceship to temporarily leave Blue Star and go to a space jump point, waiting for the merchant ship from Star Friday.

"The Merchant Ship of Star Friday?" Saunders asked in surprise, "Xiaer, did you buy the ore?"

Shial nodded without further explanation.

Gaspers sighed, and it was rare for him to be kind, and said: "We want to stay on the Blue Star, and it is impossible to stay on the spaceship all the year round. Naturally, we need ground buildings. Moreover, the medical officers want a laboratory, and they are very interested in the Blue Star. Species are interested."

When the medical officer was mentioned, Sanders immediately shut his mouth.

Anyone can mess with it, except the medical officer.Accidentally remembering Elfa's bad mood, Sanders decided not to go near the medical room for at least a month.

Xial commanded the spaceship to receive the ore and prepare to build a base on Blue Star.

Qi Le didn't know about this, and was still working hard to repair the new home.

The project is not huge, but it is far more time-consuming and labor-intensive than imagined.

The squirrels worked for five full days and only cleared some tunnels and vents.The silt in the burrow was second to none, and the clods of mud solidified on the surface were the real trouble.

The red squirrel's storage room is filled with mud and sand, which is depressing to watch.The black and gray squirrels were not much better.Chipmunk burrows are cleverly dug and cleared faster, but it will take more time to live as comfortably as before.

In desperation, the squirrels simply abandoned the old burrows and dug new nests near the cleared tunnels.

In this way, the efficiency has been improved a lot.

"It's time to do this." The black squirrel came out of the newly dug tunnel, with a piece of gravel on its head, and motioned for its companion to hand over a piece of black carapace to support it at the corner of the passage, so as to prevent any more gravel from rolling down.

"It will probably take another five or six days." The older squirrel estimated the progress, and discussed with the chipmunk whether he could temporarily stay in their cave.

"no problem."

After fighting against the tide of corpses and escaping danger together, the friendship of several ethnic groups became stronger.

If it were a few months ago, don't even think about borrowing.It is completely different now, the chipmunks took the initiative to give up several spacious burrows, and laid soft grass in advance for the squirrels to shelter temporarily.

The squirrels were busy digging tunnels, and the cat father cleaned the cabin by himself.

The exterior of the spaceship is horrible, but fortunately, the interior can be saved.The scorched bone snake and snake skin were thrown out of the cabin, the melted and deformed deck was cut off, and vines and carapace were used to fill the gap.

It is worth mentioning that the black squirrel found a group of centipedes on the west side of the territory, not the three-headed centipede occupying the pangolin tunnel, but another species.

Compared with the three-headed centipede, these centipedes are red all over, with two thick and long black lines on their backs, two pairs of antennae and two pairs of poisonous hooks on their heads, they are bigger and more ferocious.In terms of fighting alone, the squirrels are not rivals at all, and a few black squirrels who explored the way were almost taken as snacks by the opponent.

The news was sent back to the territory, Qi Le originally wanted to entrust the kitten to the care of the red squirrel, and go hunting with the black squirrel, but unexpectedly, Qi Ning bit Qi Le's tail tightly, and would not let go no matter what.

The cat father talked and said, but he had no choice but to take the kitten with him.

It turns out that the behavior of the kitten in the tunnel is no accident.

When the black-backed centipede found the intruder, they mobbed and besieged immediately. The hissing sound was endless, and Qi Le and his son and the squirrels who went out to hunt were surrounded.

"Meow!"

Seeing the appearance of the prey, the kitten is not afraid at all, but extremely excited.Qi Le failed to hold down one paw, and the kitten leaped forward, rushing towards the biggest prey.

The scene in the tunnel was repeated again.

Before the black-backed centipede could dodge in time, it was hit by a ball of hair.Immediately afterwards, the carapace was scratched, and the pain rolled all over the ground, curling into a ball.The kitten took advantage of the victory and pursued, smashing the prey's head with a few claws, pulling out the crystal nucleus to claim credit from Qi Le.

"Dad, here it is!"

"Well done, son!"

Father Cat took the crystal nucleus, feeling proud and his beard trembled.

The black-backed centipedes froze on the spot, unable to understand what happened just now.

Without giving them a chance to react, Qi Le licked the kitten, jumped up and rushed towards the nearest centipedes.The Shadowless Claw hits in a row, but there is no one-shot kill. Either smash the carapace of the centipede, or grab their tentacles and poisonous hooks, find one of the right size, grab two rows of claws on the spot, and throw it into a ball to the kitten.

The squirrels don't need to do too much, they just need to follow Qi Le and his son to clean up the "battlefield", kill the half-paralyzed prey one by one, take out the crystal nucleus on the spot, and peel off the fresh meat of the essence.

"These centipedes are fatter." Heisong said while peeling off the ant shell, "It is more cost-effective to catch them than three centipedes."

If the black-backed centipede Quanxia knows, I don't know how I will feel when I hear this comment.

Is it wrong to be big?

Is it wrong to have too much meat?

Is there any reason for this!

Qi Le originally wanted to keep a few black-backed centipedes and catch them later.The squirrels shook their heads repeatedly, telling him that the number of centipedes was much larger than expected, and the reproduction speed was quite fast.

"The black-backed centipede is very vengeful." Heisong said seriously, "If you can't kill them all, they will probably sneak into the territory and hurt the cubs."

In the end, the minority obeyed the majority, Qi Le and Qi Ning took care of the rest of the prey, Heisong led a dozen squirrels to find the black-backed centipede's lair, wiped out all the prey hidden inside, and found many centipede eggs, brought them back to the cubs Cubs supplement nutrition.

"These carapaces can be used."

The hardness of the centipede carapace is not as strong as that of an ant shell, but it is more than enough to repair tunnels and spaceships.

The hunt was a great success, and there were so many things to take away that nets and barrels made of bark came in handy.Qi Le originally wanted to make a simple trolley, but after thinking about his own skills and the possible carrying capacity, he immediately dismissed the idea.

Not to mention the effort, the quality may not pass the test, so why bother.

The prey was transported back to the territory, and the cat father and the squirrels all had a full meal.Distribute the crystal nuclei to kittens and squirrels. Clean up the carapace and put it in a sunny place to dry. Whether it is repairing a spaceship or laying a hole in the ground, it is a very good material.

"Son, pass that to me." Qi Le lay prone on the spaceship, chewing a white crystal nucleus in his mouth, grabbed a raised deck with one hand, and said to the kitten below, "Yes, it is That piece."

The kitten can't change yet, but fortunately, it is strong enough to bite Qi Le's carapace, and its little paw pops out of the paw pad. It doesn't need a run-up at all, it jumps directly from the ground, and quickly crawls to where Qi Le is.

"Good boy!" Qi Le pinched the kitten's ears, took the centipede's carapace, found the right position, and firmly inserted it into the bulkhead.Then he clapped his hands, picked up the kitten and jumped down into the air.

Qi Le landed steadily on the ground, let the kitten climb onto his shoulders, and looked at the results of his hard work for a few days, and he was quite satisfied in terms of completion.

"Son, we will live here from now on."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden roar in his ears, and the squirrels screamed in horror, waving their paws desperately, telling him to run away quickly.

"Get out of there!"

Several fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky, like falling meteorites, smashing into District [-] and the territory of the squirrel one after another.

Qi Le dodged in time, and before the fireball fell, he flew forward with the kitten.Even so, he was still overturned by the air waves several times, and only stopped after rolling over ten meters.

Fortunately, after improving his physique, he insisted on carrying this terrible shock.If not, you will be injured even if you don't die.

The fireballs fell one after another, leaving huge pits on the ground.Half of the newly dug tunnel by the squirrel collapsed, and the spaceship that had just been repaired sank directly into it.

A puff of white smoke rose from the pit, accompanied by a pungent burnt smell.

When the squirrels came out of their hiding place, they stomped their feet and shouted when they saw the painstaking efforts of the past few days go torch.

Qi Le walked up cautiously with the kitten, looked in from the side of the pit, and couldn't help but gasp.

The sinkhole is more than 20 meters deep and shaped like a giant bowl, with sand and soil rolling down from the broken wall from time to time.At the bottom of the pit lay a scorched black object emitting white smoke.Judging from the appearance, it is already impossible to tell what it is.

"Qi Le, can you see what it is?" A few squirrels came over, lying on the edge of the pit and looking down.

"Not sure." Qi Le shook his head, "But it doesn't look like a meteorite."

The older squirrel came over and saw what was at the bottom of the pit, and asserted, "That's the wreckage of the spaceship."

Wreckage?

Qi Le and the surrounding squirrels froze at the same time.

If a spaceship crashes, does it prove that alien races will come?The hunting season is not long, so it can't be so unlucky, right?

"Don't worry." Seeing the nervousness of Qi Le and his fellow clan, the older squirrel comforted, "The battle took place outside of Blue Star, and the alien race might not land there. Even if they did dock at Blue Star, they wouldn't choose this place."

The cat father picked up the kitten and looked at each other with the squirrels, still feeling a little uncertain.However, there is currently no other way but to trust the older squirrels.

Destiny is like this, good spirits and bad spirits always think about making troubles, and [-]% of them will really make troubles.

"Carry out the wreckage, clean up the trap, and dig a tunnel along the broken wall." The experienced squirrel saw the benefits of the trap and immediately suggested using it.

"The bottom of the pit is deep enough, repair the broken wall, start digging from here, and then repair the drainage channel, so you don't have to worry about the cave being flooded again."

"Qi Le, do you want to live with us?" After discussing, the squirrels looked at the silent father cat.

"Living in a burrow?"

Qi Le wanted to decline politely, but when he met the expectant eyes of the squirrels, he swallowed back the words.

"How?" Red Oak continued, "I can help you dig a hole. If you don't like living underground, you can dig the hole on the rock wall and widen it, enough for you and Qi Ning to live in. Moreover, the passageway for entering and exiting It can also be repaired..."

After listening to Squirrel's plan, Qi Le blinked involuntarily.

Looking back at the sunken spaceship, imagining the new home in the future, and decisively accepting the proposal of the squirrels.

Compared with a spaceship that is almost destroyed and cannot be repaired, such a residence is obviously more comfortable.Furthermore, if you choose to live here, you will be closer to the squirrels and help each other, and the safety factor will become higher.

"Son, what do you think?"

"I want to live here." Kitten looked up at Qi Le, his big eyes full of longing, "I can play with Hongguo and the others."

"Okay, then stay here."

The soft paw pad stepped on the palm, and the principle was immediately thrown behind his head.

The cat dad loves his son without limit, and the son can live wherever he wants!

After making a plan, Qi Le and the squirrels worked together. When the wreckage of the spaceship cooled down, they tied ropes and dragged it out of the pit.

The squirrel wanted to throw the wreckage to the border, but Qi Le stopped them, pointed to where the spaceship was, and said, "It's better to press it on top of it."

There are crystal nuclei buried under the spaceship, and it is difficult to transfer them for a while. The more things are pressed on it, the lower the chance of being discovered.

"OK, no problem."

The squirrels picked up the rope again and pulled the charred wreckage forward.

For some reason, a group of stretching pictures suddenly floated in Qi Le's mind. The squirrels were shirtless, with cloth strips tied on their heads, and chanting... Halfway through thinking about it, he quickly waved his paws. !

Before the tunnel was re-excavated, the broken walls needed to be cleaned up, and Qi Le couldn't help much, so he took the initiative to assume the responsibilities of guarding and hunting.

The birds of prey have not been seen since the squirrels returned to their territory.Perhaps it was due to luck, or there may be other reasons, but in any case, this is a good thing for Squirrel and Qi Le and his son.

It's a pity that the absence of the raptor does not mean that there are no other guests.

On the third day of excavation of the new home, a group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared on the border of the territory.

The female spider with a height of more than two meters walked in the front, followed by other female spiders, and three meters away, there were male spiders crowded together.

Click, click, click.

The hot weather had no effect on the black spider. When the team passed by, the strange beasts dodged one after another, for fear of becoming the dinner of these long-legged ladies.

click, click, click,

The female spiders kept communicating, stopped at the border of the squirrel territory, and did not move on.They obviously took a fancy to this place and planned to "discuss" with the owner of the territory.

Qi Le and Squirrel happened to be hunting nearby, and when they saw a large number of black spiders appearing, they immediately realized that something was wrong.Just as they were about to slip away quietly, a bunch of snow-white spider silk suddenly flew from behind and stuck firmly to the newly grown tree trunk, blocking their way.

Father Cat turned his head, looked at the long-legged lady who was slowly approaching, and swallowed hard.

"What do you want?"

click.

"Can you understand me?"

click.

"At least we all met once, and besides, this territory has an owner..."

Click, click!

Sincerely unable to communicate, Qi Le and Squirrel looked at each other, decided to move their paws first and then talk.

Unexpectedly, they wanted to start a fight, but the black spider took a few steps back, showing no intention of fighting at all.The cat father stopped in place, maintaining the posture of waving his paws, and the squirrels were also puzzled.

Neither letting go nor making a move, what exactly do you want to do?

Click, click, click!

The black spider made a rapid clicking sound, its long legs kept gesticulating, and even drew various lines on the ground.Qi Le kept his eyes on the mosquito coils, but still couldn't understand what the other party meant.Until the black spider drew a few more strokes, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind: "Do you want to borrow it?"

click!

The black spider was very excited and knocked on the long legs hard.

They are the same as Qi Le thought before, and their evolution direction is similar to that of squirrels, but unfortunately they are not thorough enough, they can understand the language of the native species, but they cannot communicate.

Qi Le was about to frown when the black squirrel suddenly grabbed him and whispered a few times in his ear.

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

Although the cat dad has doubts, the territory belongs to the squirrels after all, so naturally they have to follow their wishes.

"Leave after staying?"

The black spider tapped its mouthparts, realizing that the other party didn't understand, and was obviously anxious.

"Knock once if yes, not twice."

click!

well.

Qi Le and the squirrels exchanged a few words in a low voice, and continued to ask: "How do you guarantee that you will do what you say? How do you calculate the room fee? Do you understand the room fee? Exchange!"

The female spiders thought for a while, then suddenly flung the spider silk, rolled over a few male spiders, and threw it neatly in front of Qi Le and the squirrel.The long legs nodded, and then gestured to the back: These can be used as room fees, as much as you want!

The male spider burst into tears.

The world of spiders is used and thrown away.But it’s fine if they’ve been used, they haven’t been opened yet!

Qi Le inexplicably felt a wave of sympathy, it's really not easy for a man to do this.

After preliminary discussions, all the squirrels present felt that they could be accepted temporarily.

Black spiders like to live in groups, but the females and males do not live together. They only gather during the mating season and separate immediately after successful mating.The female spider is impatient and feeds free food, while the male spider is thinking about life.Moreover, both live in no fixed place and wander all year round except for the mating season, which is very similar to army ants.

Therefore, squirrels don't have to worry about the black spiders lingering, as long as they make sure that they don't hurt their cubs, don't hunt in the territory, and pay the rent regularly and regularly, it's no problem to borrow.

"The premise is that they don't backtrack."

Qi Le and the black squirrel stayed behind to guard against the black spider, and the red squirrel rushed back to the group to deliver the message.

In the end, most squirrels agreed with the black spider to stay.

It doesn't matter if you don't agree, the other party clearly doesn't want to leave, is it really going to be a fight?Although it may not be possible to lose, and the chances of winning are quite high, but the dry season is coming, and the squirrels are busy digging new homes, it is always good to have less trouble.

Squirrels guard against black spiders, and black spiders guard against squirrels.

The female spider did not go deep into the territory, but wandered around near the border, found the nest left by the black-backed centipede, and moved in very happily.

Half of the mating season has passed, and they must hurry up, or they will definitely miss this year's breeding season.

The black spiders stayed at the boundary of the territory. Although it was inconvenient for the squirrels, it was not without benefits.

The female black spider is fearless, has an extremely fierce temperament, and her only weakness is her children.During the breeding period, any beast that dared to approach the territory would be exterminated, even if it just happened to pass by, it would still be included in the removal list.

With them guarding the border, the squirrels can concentrate on digging burrows, and Qi Le can reduce the number of patrols and go out to hunt more.

The two sides are mutually beneficial, but every time the room fee is paid, it is more troublesome.

click.

A female spider threw several balls of white cocoons, swung its long legs, and then sped away.

Looking at the male spider wrapped in a cocoon, the cat father squatted on the ground, his tail rolled over his front paws, and after thinking about it for two seconds, he decided to hand a ball over to the kitten.

The rules are like this, since it cannot be changed, it can only be adapted.

When Dad Cat and Squirrel ushered in new neighbors, the eleventh district suddenly exploded.

For unknown reasons, a large number of zombies in the area suddenly gathered, and small waves of corpses appeared one after another.Wherever corpses pass by, both original species and alien beasts will be attacked.

So far, no less than a dozen ethnic groups have encountered corpse tides, and the wolves living in the forest suffered the heaviest losses.

This situation caught the attention of the birds of prey.So far no zombies have invaded their territory, but things are too abnormal for them not to pay attention.

Just as the raptors were tracking the zombies and exploring what they were trying to do, a dozen moles suddenly left the center of District [-] and ran towards the squirrel's territory.
