Qi Le

The mole has a vast territory in District [-], especially in the dense forest. The tunnels hidden underground extend in all directions. After several generations of excavation, they are connected in series to form a considerable transportation network.

Different from the lifestyle of pangolins, mole rats, both male and female, will stay at home after they reach adulthood.As time goes on, more and more members of the ethnic group will rely on blood ties to form a huge family.

Whenever the mating season comes, adult male moles will go to other groups to choose a mate, and the cubs will stay with their mothers and be raised by the moles in the family.

The evolution direction of moles is similar to that of squirrels, but unfortunately their combat effectiveness is average.The biggest advantage is that it is good at hiding, and can avoid the attacks of most predators, even alien races.

The natural enemies of squirrels are birds of prey, and they will fight bloody when they meet.

Moles are not.

Sometimes, moles will protect the group by exchanging information.For example, the mole was not the first to discover and deliver the news when the foreign race arrived at Blue Star. The native species in District [-] may not have time to migrate, and they will all be locked up in the hunting ground.

In return, most raptors don't hunt moles, but offer some level of protection.

Of course, this protection is time-sensitive.

No one can guarantee when the other party will suddenly turn his face.

The biggest threat to moles comes from pangolins, followed by advanced zombies that are good at searching.

As the pangolin's burrow was occupied by three centipedes, there was one less threat around, and the moles thought they could live a comfortable life for a few days.

Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred, and the advanced zombies in the forest suddenly poured out, summoning ordinary zombies, and attacking the native species and alien beasts like crazy.

Moles are not alien animals, nor can they be classified as native species, but they are not spared either.

As the mating season approaches, adult male moles are busy looking for mates, and female moles without cubs are often away from home, so the defense of the burrow is inevitably empty.

In order to protect the immature mole rats, the mothers gather in one place to better defend against danger and go out in batches to look for food.But one thing is, the burrow they live in should not be too deep, and they must be able to come back in time to feed the little mole.

Little mole rats are different from little squirrels. Within half a year after birth, their eyes are almost completely blind, and they cannot absorb crystal nuclei or eat exotic animal meat. All the nutrients they absorb come from their mother's milk.

Female mole rats will babysit each other's pups, but will not give food to other people's pups, even siblings.

This arrangement gave the zombies a chance.

No one expected that the tide of corpses would come suddenly.

The advanced zombies found the general location of the mole and ordered the ordinary zombies to dig on the spot.After finding the trace of the prey, the advanced zombies directly grabbed the ordinary zombies and "planted" them into the soil one by one, blocking all the possibility of the mole's escape.

The female mole tried her best, and more than half of them were killed or injured, but she couldn't stop the intruder.The little moles were hiding everywhere, but were still found by the zombies one by one.

When the mole that went out returns, the entire nest has already been swept away.The zombies captured most of the baby moles, and the dead and injured female moles were also taken away.

Looking at the empty nest, the moles were taken aback.After finding the shivering little mole and listening to the survivors' narration, I felt even more grief and indignation.

Led by the female leader of the family, Mole followed the route the zombies had left, and found that they were not the only victims, but also five or six groups of exotic beasts and a couple of woodpeckers who had recently moved in.

The loss of the alien beast was particularly heavy. The members with combat effectiveness were pinned down by the zombies, and all the cubs who were unable to resist were snatched away.

Relying on its strong fighting power, the woodpecker fought off its injured wings, barely drove away the zombies, and protected its newborn cubs.

After encountering this attack, they didn't plan to stay in the forest for a long time, and decided to take their children to the border to find relatives in the ninth district, and pass on the news of the corpse tide in the eleventh district.

The moles didn't eat or drink, and after three days and three nights of chasing, they finally found the zombie's lair.

Standing at the entrance of the burrow, the moles hesitated.

This place is in the center of District [-], and it's too close to the tunnel that terrified them.However, in order to save the cubs and their clansmen, the moles decided to take risks.

Unfortunately, courage does not conquer all.

The first batch of moles that entered the burrow were discovered by the zombies, all of them died in the hands of the other party, and none of them came back.On the other hand, the alien beasts who were traveling with them managed to bite the tails of a group of zombies. With their strong fighting power, they desperately broke into the underground bunker and rescued the seriously injured cubs.

Seeing the situation of the alien beast cubs, the hearts of the moles were cold.

The cub didn't die, but it was worse than death.

All the bones and muscles of the four legs were removed, leaving only a layer of fur.The skull at the back of the head was uncovered, and two slender catheters were inserted. A strange liquid remained on the catheter wall, glowing with a faint blue light.

The cub didn't respond to the calls of its kin. It was obviously still breathing, but it closed its eyes tightly and couldn't make a sound.

About half a day later, the cub swallowed his last breath.

The cub's parents had already died at the hands of the zombies. Instead of returning to the group, his siblings stood guard at the exit of the underground bunker, waiting for the higher-level zombies to appear, and rushed to avenge their parents and brothers.

In the melee of zombies and alien beasts, Mole took the opportunity to dig a narrow tunnel leading directly to the underground bunker.

It's a pity that there are more zombies than expected. Most of the moles involved in the excavation died. Only two escaped and told the anxiously waiting clansmen that the inside of the bunker was very large, filled with strange containers and various cages. , holding the robbed beast and cub respectively.

"There are a lot of them, most of them are strange beasts, and many of them have tubes inserted."

said the Mole, gesticulating with his paw on his head.Thinking of everything I saw, I couldn't help but shiver, and I still have lingering fears.

Although they are smart, they can't understand the way of zombies, and they don't know that many cubs are used for experiments, and the rest are kept as food to ensure that the successful experiments can survive.

Moles are not of much experimental value and are all raised as food.Without rescue, you will never get out of the underground bunker alive.

"Some of them are beyond saving, they are exactly the same as that wolf cub, and some are still alive! Many of our cubs are still alive!"

In order to survive and obtain food, the blue star population will hunt and kill each other.

The behavior of the zombies completely violated the rules between species!

"They must be stopped!"

The mole didn't understand why the zombies did such a thing, and they couldn't figure out the real purpose of the other party. The only thing they knew was that they had to destroy this terrible place as soon as possible, and eliminate the source of all this, otherwise District [-] would be destroyed. There will never be peace.

"How to do it?"

"We can't beat the zombies."

Moles have evolved quite high intelligence. They can think of things that alien beasts can't think of, but they can't communicate with alien beasts, let alone cooperate.

As for the native species in the area, they want to find them, but the problem is that the relationship between them is very delicate.Go to the door rashly, if you meet someone who is easy to talk to, if you meet someone who has a bad temper, God knows if you will be eaten as soon as you meet.

After thinking about it, the only people they could turn to for help were the squirrels whose territory was between the eleventh and twelve districts.

"Go to the black pine!" Mole, who had led the way for the squirrel, said.Several of his younger siblings were snatched away by zombies, and the mother died protecting the cubs.He has been regretting, if he stayed at home, would he have been able to prevent this disaster from happening?Even if you can't stop it, you can try your best to save a few clansmen!

"Will they be willing to help?" Mole hesitated.

"Definitely!" the mole who made the suggestion said loudly, "This zombie horde is too strange. Zombies will not only be active in District [-]. Tell Black Pine and Red Oak the truth, and they will definitely help us!"

Help the mole and save yourself by destroying this horrible place and stopping all zombies!

Not long after the mole made a decision, the advanced zombies started to move again, spreading beyond the forest.

During the mating season, in order to compete for mates, males usually fight violently, and injuries and even death are inevitable.Entering the breeding season, a large number of pups will be born.

This provides favorable conditions for the zombies, and they can find easy targets without spending too much effort.

In contrast, native species are not so easy to deal with.

So far, there are not a few native species attacked by zombies, and there is no successful case.

The frequent movements of the corpses attracted the attention of the raptors. The zombies who went out were attacked one after another, their crystal nuclei were dug away, and the corpses were discarded in the open space, becoming the nourishment of the mutated plants.

The raptors go out on patrol together, and they can harvest a lot of crystal nuclei every time.

At the same time, the mole soldiers split into two groups, one part stayed in the forest and kept an eye on the zombies' movements; the other part went to the squirrel's territory to explain the situation to them and seek help.

In order to save time, the Mole ignored the threats in the sky, abandoned the underground passage, and ran directly on the ground, never sleeping or resting on the way, he insisted on cutting the journey in half for a few days.

When they reached the border of the squirrel territory, before they had time to catch their breath, a spider web suddenly fell from the sky, binding them tightly.

"Help!"

The moles struggled desperately, but to no avail.

The female spider who made the shot stepped out of the grass, rolled her front legs continuously, bundled up a dozen moles together, and tapped them a few times with her front feet, as if to confirm the freshness.He tapped his mouthparts twice, greeted his companions, and then took the spoils to the center of the territory.

When it was time to pay the rent again, the prey was delivered to her door, which saved her energy.

The moles thought that the squirrel's territory had been taken, and they almost fell into despair.He was dragged backwards by the black spider, hit his head several times, became dizzy for a while, and swelled up three or four big bumps.After stopping, Venus was still flashing in front of my eyes.

Seeing the mole in the cocoon, the squirrel who came to collect the rent was startled, and said in surprise, "Mole seven, why is it you?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Mole struggled to get up, but was bound by the spider web, and the more he struggled, the tighter he was bound.

click.

The black spider stretched out its long legs, turned over the cocoon that bound Mole Seven, pointed its claws at his abdomen, and pierced him with a little force.

Little sample, want to escape?

"Slow down!" The red squirrel yelled quickly, begging the black spider to show mercy.

Click, click, click.

Since dealing with the cat dad, the black spider's dual quotient has continued to soar, and it is not a problem to communicate with each other through simple tapping movements.

"They are friends." Red Squirrel said.

click.

The black spider raised its leg to show that it understood what the squirrel meant.

"We know each other, and so does Qi Le. They even helped us."

click.

The black spider took a step back, gestured back and forth with its front legs, and made a regular sound with its mouthparts: She is not interested in the relationship between moles and squirrels at all. Anyway, the rent has been paid, and the amount is right. Whether it is eating or letting go is with her. irrelevant.

"Okay." There is nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully, Squirrel nodded.

click.

Satisfied, the black spider quickly turned and left.

The red squirrel rushed forward immediately, cut the spider web with its claws, and freed the moles.

Tired and hungry, the mole was still in shock. After breaking free from the restraints, the mole fell forward uncontrollably.After being lifted up, he struggled and said, "Red Oak, the tide of corpses has appeared again, help us!"

"What did you say?!"

The red squirrel froze on the spot, his tone full of shock.

How long has it been since the last wave of corpses, why did it appear again? !

Qi Le is taking Qi Ning to decorate the new home.

The father and son cut open the carapace with their claws, smoothed the edges, threaded them through strong straw ropes, spliced ​​them side by side, and fixed them at the exit of the burrow to protect them from wind and rain.

"How is it?" Qi Le knotted the straw rope, knocked on the installed door panel, and turned to look at Qi Ning who was squatting on the side.

"Father is amazing!" The kitten is very face-saving, with big eyes shining brightly, nodding its head vigorously, and just barely raised its paws and shouted "Long live Dad".

The cat father was so cute that his four paws became weak, and he turned around and rubbed the kitten.Being stepped on by the soft paw pads, I really have no resistance at all.

After many days of hard work by the squirrels, all the broken walls of the pit have been leveled out. There are holes of different sizes dug on them, some of which lead to underground lairs, and some of them are well-arranged traps. .

There is a narrow dirt road on the broken wall, and the end of the road is a drainage channel.

Due to the huge amount of work, not all passages have been dug.However, according to the work efficiency of the squirrels, it will definitely be completed before the end of the dry season.

The bottom of the pit was widened and dug deeper, and the deepest point was more than [-] meters, directly digging out the groundwater.The cat father discussed with the squirrel and set up more traps at the bottom of the pit.

"The river will stop flowing during the dry season, and there may be prey."

The squirrels thought it was feasible, so they brainstormed more ideas, moved mutated plants, and made the trap more perfect.Regardless of whether it can be used or not, in short, be prepared.

After the trap was completed, Qi Le chose a hole close to the ground to set up his home, and asked Squirrel to help him widen it to create a structure similar to doors and windows.Halfway through the project, the cat father had another whim and wanted to dig a stove in the house.

"Stovetop?" The squirrel tilted its head, expressing its incomprehension.

"It's for cooked food." Father Cat explained while gesturing.

"It's too troublesome." Knowing what Qi Le wanted, the squirrel waved its tail, sparks flew all over the place, "It's so convenient to come to us if you want cooked food."

Qi Le: "..." Does he think he can do it himself?

After some communication, the cat dad still insisted.

The squirrel shrugged helplessly, dug the stove pit a few times, and found a mutant plant that can withstand high temperatures, hollowed out the middle, and repaired a ventilation pipe.When I looked back and saw Dad Cat's expression, I knew that the other party hadn't thought of this. With a touch of his front paw and a few taps of his back paw on the ground, his expression immediately became serious.

"If you light a fire in the hole, there will be smoke. If the smoke does not disperse, it will be dangerous. There must be a vent!" The squirrel pointed to the top of its head.

The cat father was taught, raised his paw and buried his head.

Being educated by squirrels about the necessity of fire protection and ventilation, the two lifetimes have been truly fulfilling.

After that incident, squirrels often came to Qi Le's new home to help him check whether the vents were in good condition, for fear that he would not have "common sense" and would bring the kitten with him if he suffered.

"Qi Le!"

Qi Le was busy cleaning up the unused carapace when the sound of the red squirrel suddenly came from outside the door.

The kitten got up and looked up.Qi Le put down the carapace, walked to the door in a few steps, looked up, and saw a round, furry face.

Ever since he knew that black squirrels had the habit of hanging upside down, Qi Le wanted to ask several times if he was related to bats.

"what's up?"

"Mole Seven sent a message that the zombies in District [-] are acting abnormally. They are hunting for strange beasts and native species, and they have also been attacked."

"What?" Qi Le was taken aback, "Another tide of corpses?"

How long has it been since the last time?

Did these zombies gather together to take drugs or doping?

Heisong climbed down from the broken wall, with two front paws supporting the window panel that Qi Le had just polished, and said, "I heard from Mole Seven that they chased after the zombie and found a weird burrow. The beasts are locked there. According to his description, the things there are very similar to what we saw before."

"Did you see it before?" Qi Le licked the kitten that was leaning over.

"Do you still remember the hole that you and Qining fell into? It's what's there." Heisong gestured his paws, trying to express as accurately as possible.

"You mean the test equipment?"

"Is that the name?" Heisong was stunned for a moment, with doubts in his tone, "In short, it's really similar. Mole Seven is still at Red Oak, do you want to come and see?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Qi Le nodded, turned around and picked up Qi Ning on his back, followed Heisong, and walked towards Red Oak's house along the narrow road on the broken wall.

The size of the kitten was getting bigger and bigger, and the weight increased accordingly, and Qi Le could no longer pick it up.Acting like a baby, he didn't want to go by himself, so the cat father could only carry it on his back.

In the center of District [-], inside the underground bunker, Gu Xuan walked through one transparent container after another.Occasionally, I stop to observe the situation in the container, and at the same time, I pick up the ancient recorder and slide my finger on the screen to view every data of the experiment.

After flipping through the last few pieces of data, Gu Xuan raised his head in satisfaction, his blood-red eyes were reflected on the transparent container wall, and creepy smile lines formed at the corners of his mouth.

The departure of a dozen moles will not affect the group's next move.After capturing a large number of alien beasts, they once again set their sights on the original species.

Raptors in the sky are not easy to catch, and populations on the ground become the main targets of attack.

Learning from the failure, the advanced zombie summed up the experience and began to look for the single target.

As Yas and Alan fly over the forest, they spot a doe with a calf surrounded by zombies.

Sika deer live in groups and have strong combat effectiveness.Generally speaking, when encountering more than a certain number of native deer herds, zombies would not dare to confront them head-on, and could only run away.

However, for a period of time after the birth of the cubs, the doe will live in isolation and cultivate the bond between mother and child.This is the gene engraved in the bone, which has not changed for hundreds of years.

The young mother was inexperienced, and the hiding place she found was not hidden enough, so she was easily targeted by zombies.

The fighting power of the doe is not weak, and it can even be called strong.

But Xiaolu has no resistance, she has to be distracted from taking care of her children, and is soon surrounded by zombies.

If she gives up her cubs, she can easily bump into the zombies and rush out of the surrounding group to join her.But she didn't do that, but insisted on staying, using her body to block the deer, not giving an inch to the zombie.

"If you want to hurt my child, you must step over my dead body!"

The doe, covered in blood, uttered a cry, calling for her companions in the herd.

The higher zombies realized something was wrong, roared loudly, and rushed up to the doe first.

Before rushing up to the doe, the zombie suddenly lost its balance, was firmly held by a pair of sharp claws, and was carried upside down into the air.Before the zombie could react, another pair of sharp claws pierced into his abdomen, followed by the sound of silk tearing, and the internal organs and blood scattered all over the ground.

Black blood was scattered in patches, and the corpses attracted attention, stretching out their rotten hands one after another, desperately fighting for the fallen heart.

The doe froze for a moment, not expecting the raptor to help.Before he had time to think about it, he changed his form hastily, picked up the deer and ran towards the group.

"Roar!"

There is more than one high-level zombie among the corpses.

Discovering that the sika deer mother and child had escaped, roars sounded one after another, and the bracelet radiated dazzling red light. Ordinary zombies seemed to be hypnotized, giving up the minced meat they had snatched, and rushing towards the doe with a roar.

At the most critical moment, the majestic deer cry suddenly sounded.

The rows of tall grass were overwhelmed, and several tall stags rushed forward. Seeing the situation in front of them, they immediately became furious, raised their huge antlers, and crashed into the corpses like a tank.

Under the protection of the herd, the doe escaped from danger, hugged the shivering fawn, and stared fiercely at the zombies: "Kill them! Don't leave a single one behind!"

The stag roared like a ferocious beast, rushed left and right among the corpses, and crushed them.The does in the herd arrived one after another, gathered around the frightened mother and her child, and comforted them gently.

The young mother hugged her child tightly, remembering the barn owl who helped, waved to the sky, and said loudly, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, there has been a wave of corpses recently, don't leave the group easily!"

Saying goodbye to the deer, Yas and Aram flew high and disappeared over the forest.

"Yas, these zombies are too strange."

"I know."

While flying, Yas searched for traces of zombies, and soon he found another group.It's just that this time they are not hunters, but hunted prey, running for their lives in a hurry.

A group of native wild boars roared angrily and slammed into the zombies fiercely.

They were not afraid of the claws of the zombies at all. Relying on their copper skin and iron bones, they rampaged through the crowd of corpses, smashing more than 20 zombies into the air one after another, biting a high-level zombie to death, and saving the dying piglet.

Seeing that the little pig was covered in blood and couldn't even stand up, the wild boars were so angry that they picked up the zombie with their fangs.When the zombie landed on the ground, its huge body slammed forward, rolled on the spot, and flattened the zombie.

"Roar!"

boom!

"Ow!"

Click!

The zombies were picked up one by one, and smashed into meatloaf after landing. The sound of bones shattering was heard one after another, which could be heard clearly in mid-air.

The two barn owls looked at each other, both felt their scalps were numb, and they flew several meters high at the same time.

Dare to snatch wild boar cubs, these zombies are absolutely crazy.
