Qi Le

Blue Star's climate is volatile.

One moment the sky was blue and clear and cloudless, and the next moment it could be lightning and thunder and downpours.

Early morning and evening are still cool, but it is the time when zombies and strange beasts are most active.At noon, the risk factor decreases, but the temperature rises sharply, almost drying up the last trace of water vapor in the air.

Acting in such a high temperature is completely tormented.

Qi Le and Qi Ning walked for seven full days, relying on Xixi for most of the time.After finally hitting the big luck, he hunted and killed a small injured beast, and before he could feast on it, he was robbed by some shameless native raptor.

Looking at the opponent's size and comparing it with himself, Qi Le decisively chose to retreat.

If the prey is gone, you can catch it again, and if you are accidentally injured, you may lose your life.

Forbearance with a knife on his head, he forbears!

Hungry and continued to move forward, the father and son were out of luck. They never encountered a single prey, but encountered two groups of zombies one after another. One group was searching for food, and the roar could be heard for five miles; He ran wildly, obviously fleeing for his life.

Hearing the roar from a distance, Qi Le didn't hesitate, picked up Qi Ning and ran away.There are trees on trees, but if there are no trees, you can find a damaged building to deal with it.

Fortunately, the father and son are small in size and the target is not big. They can avoid the zombies every time, which is considered safe and sound.

After repeated tests, Qi Le's skills became more and more agile, and he became more and more proficient at picking cats.With a tacit understanding, Qi Ning can always retract his four claws immediately and form a ball of hair, trying to minimize obstacles for Qi Le.

On the eighth day, both father and son were tired and hungry, and their paws were sore from the hot sand.

Seeing the ruins of a town in the distance, Qi Le was about to take a closer look when he saw two strange beasts rushing out of an abandoned gas station, roaring and pounced on him.

The height of the alien beast was nearly one meter at the shoulders, and it looked like a large dog. It had no hair on its body, its bones were thick, its teeth were extremely sharp, and its mouth was dripping with muddy saliva, giving off a strong stench.

Qi Le's actions were faster than his thinking, and he picked up Qi Ning and ran straight.

Size, strength, and quantity are no opponents, so when you don't run now, it's better to wait.

He didn't forget to turn his head while escaping, and found that he couldn't get rid of it, so he immediately increased his speed to the limit, and even made three detours and two detours far away from the main road.

Qi Le didn't know that at this moment, his speed was beyond imagination, leaving afterimages behind him.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the cries of the strange beast gradually faded away, and the deadly sense of crisis gradually faded away.Qi Le slowed down and looked back cautiously. There was nothing behind him, and there was no sign of the strange beast anymore.

call--

Putting down Qi Ning, Qi Le let out a long breath, his limbs went limp, and he almost foamed at the mouth and lay on the ground tired.

"Father, are you okay?" Qi Ning moved closer to Qi Le and licked his nose.

Qi Le moved his ears, propped himself up, and signaled that he was fine.

"Dad, there's something there."

Qi Ning pointed to a black figure in front of him, and instinctively approached Qi Le.

"what?"

Qi Le was taken aback, thinking it was another strange beast, and was about to escape for the second round.After running for two steps, I felt something was wrong, but when I took a closer look, I realized that it was not a strange beast at all, but a crashed spaceship.

The spaceship is oval in shape and half buried in the soil.The part exposed on the ground is very dilapidated, covered with large and small black bullet marks, and cracks of different widths.

Some cracks were embedded with metal plates, apparently repaired by hand.It's just that the craftsmanship is not good enough, and the metal plates used are also of different colors and shapes, which makes the dilapidated hull look even more ugly and weird.

Qi Le brought Qi Ning closer and walked around the spaceship.

Judging from various signs, this is likely to be a place similar to a "shelter" or "safe house".It's just that it's old, the exterior of the spaceship is broken, and the hatch on the top is sealed, it doesn't look like there are people living in it.Along the way, the father and son have seen two or three similar places, and they were all abandoned without exception.

Qi Le thought for a while, let Qi Ning stay where he was, jumped onto the top of the spaceship, and looked in from the crack in the cabin.

It was dark as far as the line of sight was concerned, and no danger was felt, but safety could not be guaranteed.

Qi Le hesitated.

It was getting late, and the roar of zombies came from the wind.From past experience, it is obviously not a good idea to take Qi Ning to walk at night.

This is the only shelter within a few miles.

If you miss this place, do you want to sleep in the wild?

After deliberating for a moment, Qi Le quickly returned to the ground, found a few stones, and prepared to throw them in for a try.If there are really zombies trapped inside, they will definitely be alarmed by the sound, and there will be no time to run.

Qi Le was busy all the time, but Qi Ning was puzzled.

"dad?"

"Hey, stay here, and yell if you are in danger." After telling his son, Qi Le flew up to the roof of the cabin, and threw the stone in along the crack.

When, when, when.

With a few blunt bangs, stones fell to the bottom of the bilge.

Qi Le pricked up his ears to listen carefully, except for the sound of falling stones, there was no piercing roar.In order to be safe, Qi Le experimented from different cracks, and there was no sign of danger.

After confirming that there was no "person" in the spaceship, Qi Le greeted Qi Ning immediately.

"Come here."

The blood-red setting sun is about to sink into the horizon, and the sky is getting darker and darker.At this time, the zombies are extremely active.

Qi Le didn't want to risk his and Qi Ning's life.Get into the cabin early and plug the gap, so both he and Qining can sleep well.

He hadn't eaten for three whole days, and he could barely hold on. Qi Ning was almost at his limit.Gather up your strength tonight, and find something to eat tomorrow no matter what.

No snakes, no rabbits, just a mouse.

Can't keep your mouth shut?

He's a cat now, he can't talk about anything!

Qi Ning's physical exertion was too great, he had to rely entirely on Qi Le to climb up to the cabin roof, and it was completely impossible to climb into the cabin by himself.Qi Le tried to pick up Qi Ning, but found that it would hinder his movement, so he bent down and motioned for Qi Ning to climb on his back.

"Come up, hold on tight."

Nodding obediently, Qi Ning stretched out his claws, and firmly clasped the fur on Qi Le's back.

The kitten's claws are still sharp.

The moment I grabbed it, the sourness was indescribable.

"Son, take it easy." Qi Le hissed.

Qi Ning tried to relax, neither being thrown off nor scratching Qi Le, and then lying on his stomach honestly, said: "Dad, I'm fine."

"kindness."

Qi Le turned his ears and slid down along the cracks in the cabin roof while keeping an eye on his back.The sharp front claws scratched across the metal plate, making a piercing friction sound.

When it fell to the ground, plum blossom marks were branded on the soft pads, and a burst of dust was raised.Always silent.

The cabin was dark, but it was no problem for the father and son.

Looking around, Qi Le jumped onto a dusty metal chair, put down Qi Ning, and went to the hatch by himself to check if the door was locked from the inside.

"Stay there and don't move."

Stopping Qi Ning who was about to jump down, Qi Le checked around and sniffed carefully, not letting go of any corner.No other entrances and exits were found, so he relaxed a little, jumped onto the metal chair again, swiped his tail, and motioned for Qining to approach.

"Sleep here tonight."

Qi Ning nodded obediently, and licked Qi Le's chin.After several days of long-distance travel, he was tired and hungry. If he couldn't take a good rest, he might not be able to continue.

Qi Le settled his son well, but he himself did not rush to rest, but cheered up and continued to be vigilant.

Suddenly, there was a dull loud noise outside the cabin, and then, a dazzling light penetrated the cracks in the wall, illuminating the entire cabin.

"Father?" Qi Ning was startled awake and looked at Qi Le anxiously.

"Don't be afraid, stay here, I'll go up and have a look."

While speaking, Qi Le quickly climbed to the roof of the cabin and looked towards the place where the light came from.

The sun has set, and a bright moon hangs high.

Stars dot the night sky, forming a dazzling Milky Way.

Under the moonlight, black waves surged, accompanied by loud clicking sounds, which made one's scalp tingle and chills down his back.

This terrifying black tide is exactly the huge migrating ant colony.

In front of the ant colony, more than a dozen strange beasts were exhausted, not seeking to run the fastest, but not to be left behind, and two of them almost took Qi Le as their rations.

Qi Le saw it clearly, he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​Feng Shui turning around, all he had was fear, an unexplainable fear.

Finally, a strange beast fell down due to exhaustion, and was immediately swallowed up by the ants.There was no time to even scream, and he disappeared in an instant.

When the ant colony was hunting, two silver light and shadows appeared in the midair, like meteors passing through the darkness, with light whirls flying down one after another.There were crackling sounds one after another, and hundreds of marching ants were thrown into the air, stagnated in mid-air for two seconds, and then fell heavily to the ground.

However, the number of ant colonies is too large, as long as the queen is safe and sound, no amount of loss will be painless.More soldier ants gathered and sprayed acidic venom into the air, forcing the light and shadow to retreat.

The last strange beast was swallowed by the black tide, and the ant colony stopped moving forward, constantly waving its tentacles, sending messages to each other, and being alert to the enemies above.

The speed of light and shadow began to slow down, and finally stopped in mid-air.

The two sides seem to be separated by a transparent barrier, evaluating each other's strength to plan their next move.

Seeing clearly what was in the light and shadow, Qi Le couldn't help but gasp.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it is not the small warship as expected, but two living "people"!

Similar silver robes, long hair hanging down his waist, and a weapon like a light cannon on his shoulders.Although the two of them turned their backs to Qi Le, they still couldn't see their faces clearly, but judging from their sturdy fighting power and faintly visible sharp ears, these two were probably the "foreign race" in the mouth of the crow girl.

"What cosmic joke..."

Qi Le trembled, and carefully retreated to the cabin, not wanting to be discovered by the two outside.

As soon as he landed, a ball of hair immediately jumped into his arms.

"Dad, what's going on outside?"

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Qi Le rubbed against Qi Ning's ear, comforting himself as well as Qining, "We won't be discovered, so don't be afraid."

Sensing the tension in the atmosphere, Qi Ning shrank into a ball, leaned tightly into Qi Le's arms, and refused to leave even half a step.

Qi Le tensed his nerves, thinking from zombies to alien beasts, from alien beasts to alien races, his mind was in a mess.

Simply listening to the crow girl's narration does not have much sense of reality.Seeing it with my own eyes now, the shock is no small matter.If all the high-level alien races are at this fighting level, no wonder the girl has to warn them again and again.

When encountering such a race that cannot be measured by common sense, it is purely courting death, and there is no other choice but to run away.

However, it seems that those two exterminated a lot of army ants.

Qi Le's heart skipped a beat.

If it can be eaten, the next meal for him and his son will be settled.It's just that I don't know how long the two outside will stay and when they will leave...

Holding Qi Ning in his arms, Qi Le silently prayed in his heart that those two had better leave quickly, and don't stay overnight.

Outside the spaceship, the ant colony caught enough prey, and retreated as hurriedly as they had come.

The two alien races fell to the ground and put away their weapons. One of them said, "Xiaer, there seems to be something over there."

"Don't worry about it." The foreigner called Xial turned around, his platinum-blond long hair was tied behind his head, and his ice-blue eyes showed no emotion.Under the straight bridge of the nose, the lips are as pale as the skin.

"This is the boundary between the [-]th and [-]th districts. The native species are migrating in large numbers. It is not surprising that there is nothing."

"Can……"

"The order is to clear the border." Shiar pulled up his cloak, "The eleventh area has been designated as the hunting ground for this time. The spaceship from the home planet will arrive in five days, and the time is limited."

"I heard that they are all military cadets this time." Sanders raised his long brown eyebrows, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "Why bother to expel native ants, leaving them behind can better test the combat effectiveness of these cadets."

"This is an order." Xial turned on the tracker on her wrist, her tone did not fluctuate at all, "After clearing the border, activate the barrier as soon as possible to prevent more native species and alien beasts from fleeing."

"Okay." Sanders shrugged, putting away his rare curiosity, chasing after Shiar, and galloped to another ruin where an ant colony appeared.
