Qi Le

In the dark universe, the cycle of life revolves, and the eternity is silent.

A star is dying, and gray planets are still orbiting.

The abandoned space station is floating outside the planet, and the satellites orbiting the planet have already been fragmented and turned into specks of dust in the vast universe.

At the edge of the galaxy, a transparent vortex is slowly forming.

As time passed, the vortex continued to expand, and the center surged violently, as if a huge mouth was about to swallow everything around it.

The abandoned space station shook violently, and the outer metal plates kept rising and falling, hitting each other, as if they were about to fly into the universe at any time, but they still refused to leave the main body.

A silver spaceship is parked on the back of the space station. The structure of the hull has obvious characteristics of the star, but there is no totem symbolizing the clan at the stern, which is extremely rare in the fleet.

In the command cabin of the spaceship, Gaspers received an unfamiliar signal, confirmed the source of the communication, and turned to look at Xial: "It's Star Friday."

"Connected." Xial leaned back on the command chair, her pale fingers brushed her lips, and she suddenly felt a headache.

Gaspas pressed the communicator, and several groups of strange light spots appeared on the screen.

The light spot keeps spinning and winding, and finally turns into a piece of white light.After the white light disappeared, a man in a black robe with a blood-red ribbon on his shoulders appeared in front of everyone.

"long time no see."

The man is tall and straight, with a deep and mellow voice, holding a scepter that symbolizes the governor, showing endless majesty.When speaking, the sharp fangs are looming.Looking at Shiar, his pupils narrowed into a thin line, and a striking dark red appeared around him.

"Your Excellency Governor, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xial stepped off the command chair, stood in front of the screen with his hands behind his back, and nodded slightly to the man, "Thank you for your generosity."

"Call me uncle." The man's expression suddenly changed, and he moved closer to the screen, showing his sharp fangs, completely missing the nobility and deepness before.

"Your Excellency Governor..." Shiar wanted to make a final struggle.

"Call me uncle!" The man tapped the screen with his fingers, feeling that he wasn't strong enough, so he clenched his fist and punched it.You can feel that terrifying power through the screen.

Witnessing this scene, the crew fell silent at the same time.

As expected of a galaxy famous for its mining and manufacturing, it was not smashed after being smashed like this, and the signal is still unblocked.

"Didn't I blow up the parliament back then and teach those people a lesson, those arrogant bastards can retract their claws?"

"How can it be enough to only do it in the hunting ground?"

"If you kill the elders in the family, today you will be the patriarch of the clan, and you will even control the fleet and become the governor of the galaxy!"

"Things have developed to this point today, everything is because of your father's bad blood!"

"I should have shot your father to death long ago, lest he kill your mother and make you what you are today!"

Xial lowered his head helplessly and propped his forehead with one hand, he knew it!

This is the case every time we meet, he can recite almost every word.

His father was already dead, and he died at the hands of space pirates, which was really not a glorious thing.The whole family once suspected that it was related to Alecto, and even filed a complaint with the clan senate and parliament.

It's a pity that people are dead, and the pirates who did it are also wiped out. All the mysteries are buried in the universe, and there will never be a day when they will be revealed.

Alecto is still the governor of Star Five, controlling a powerful fleet and known as "crazy".

Shial was exiled by the family and stayed in the fleet for a long time.The cousin who replaced him as the heir was mediocre and always doing nothing.

In fact, it wasn't that the family chose a mediocre talent on purpose, but that Xial was too ruthless. Among his peers, cousins ​​who were capable of competing with him all died in the hunting grounds, and none of them came out.And Gaspers ran away with him, never to return to the family.

If you want to restore the glory of the third clan, you can only hope for the next generation.

Judging from the current situation, this hope is very slim.

The clan that had been honored for nearly a thousand years will eventually decline, until its seats in the parliament and the Senate are abolished, and it will be completely replaced by other clans.

Alecto chattered endlessly, and the entire command cabin was filled with his growls.

Gaspers turned the command chair, his shoulders shook suspiciously a few times.

Sanders looked at the helpless Shiar, and then at the righteous Governor Alecto. It was hard to believe that the two were related by blood, and they were not usually close.

"Governor..."

"Huh?" Alecto moved closer, his face was almost pressed against the screen, his eyes narrowed, his fangs flashed, and he said threateningly, "What should I call me? If you don't satisfy me, believe it or not, I'll give you an order right away." The transport ship is returning?"

When speaking, he raised his scepter even more threateningly.

"...Uncle." Siyaer sighed, and finally gave up.

"That's right." Alecto straightened up, his expression returning to normal, "Are you really planning to stay in Blue Star?"

"Yes."

"There are too many things going on on the mother planet recently, and the parliament and the Senate are in trouble, so you can leave." Alecto said, "Blue Star is located in a remote place, so it can save you a lot of trouble."

Shiar nodded and explained: "The first clan is fighting for power. Oren's trial period is approaching. The parliament and the Senate are wrestling. I have left a testimony, but the speaker seems to have other plans."

Violating game rules, breaking ship regulations, ignoring the Ombudsman's authority, disobeying multiple orders, any one of them would discredit Oren.Even if you don't get kicked out of the military academy, you won't be able to enter the fleet smoothly after graduation.

Oren would not accept such a result, and neither would the speaker.

Shial's application for permanent residence in the border galaxy is not only to avoid the upcoming chaos, but also to make the speaker use his mouse to prevent him from making fuss about him and the crew.

"Hetty bothered you?" Alecto's expression changed, he clenched the scepter tightly with one hand, and said in a deep voice, "If he forgets the previous lesson, I don't mind reminding him again."

If he can smash the parliament once, he can smash it a second time.

This time, instead of laser cannons, a small battleship was directly launched, and the speaker and his son were buried in it together!

"It's not just that simple." Shiar didn't hide anything, and explained everything that happened after the hunting season started and the time when the spacecraft returned to the home planet, including the secret plan and means of the speaker, all clearly stated.

If the speaker heard it, he would be surprised.

"You said he wanted to force you to rebel?" Alecto asked.

"Yes." Shiar nodded, her platinum-blond long hair slid over her shoulders with his movements, flowing dazzlingly, "If I lead the crew to rebel, I will naturally divert the attention of the parliament and the Senate."

A cadet's infraction on the hunting grounds is insignificant compared to a soldier's rebellion.

"That's it." After listening to Siyaer's narration, Governor Alecto was not angry, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled and approached the screen, saying, "This is a rare opportunity, how about you directly lead the crew to rebel?"

Shial moved her lips, but couldn't utter a word.

For the first time in his life, he had nothing to say.

Gaspers didn't pay attention, slipped his finger, and almost turned off the communication.

Sanders was so dumbfounded that he almost fell off the metal chair.

"I thought about it carefully, and it's actually not a big deal." Alecto was very confident in his idea, and the more he said it, the more feasible it became.

"If you want to rebel, you'd better do it as soon as possible. I can mobilize the fleet of Star Five, and the governor of Star Star has long been dissatisfied with the home planet, so he can also be imprisoned. Star Six, as long as the price is enough, any transaction is not a problem."

For Alecto, rebellion was not a big deal.

Just 150 years ago, there was a big war between Star [-] and Star [-], and they suddenly reconciled midway and jointly attacked Star [-].All the galaxies were in an uproar.

The war started strangely and ended abruptly.

On the surface, the battle ended with Constellation winning, and they signed a "peace treaty".The fact is, the relationship between the galaxies is always at stake, and the encounter with Mars can be rekindled.

In the universe, the strong always hold all the right to speak.

Knowing the speaker's plan, Alecto was not worried, and even wanted to push Xial to rebel.

Seeing that the other party was talking more and more vigorously, Shiar had to interrupt.

"Uncle, I currently have no intention of rebelling."

"Not yet?" Deliberately emphasizing the word "currently", Alecto smiled, brushing his fangs against his lower lip, "I knew, as my blood relative, how could I not even have such courage."

Shial covered her eyes again.

He doesn't want to talk.

really don't want to.

"Okay, don't rebel for now." Alekto accepted it as soon as he saw it, not wanting to really annoy Shiar, "The transport ship will arrive soon. In addition to the ore you bought, there is also a ship of alloy ore. In return, yes Shouldn't you make some gestures?"

Alecto blinked.

"Show?" Shiar lowered her arm, waiting for him to speak down.

"You are permanently stationed on Blue Star, so you might as well collect more crystal nuclei, I can offer you a high price." Alecto licked his lips, "Also, there is a flying lizard there, which is said to taste very good, and the transport ship can bring some back. "

"There is no problem with the crystal nucleus. Flying lizard... how did you know it?" Shiar asked in confusion.

As far as he knew, Blue Star was just a hunting ground, not a food supply place.

"I……"

Before Alecto could explain, the door of the command compartment opened suddenly, and Alpha walked in with a recorder.

"Commander, about the establishment of the laboratory..." Seeing the person on the screen, Alpha stopped suddenly, and the color changed from light to dark, and then dark blue in two seconds.

"I just remembered that something has not been dealt with. Message me when the transport ship arrives. See you later!"

As soon as the ending sound fell, the people on the screen disappeared, and the background returned to the vast cosmic nebula.

Looking at Alpha, who was still in dark blue, everyone fell silent, including Shiar.

No wonder the medical officer changed color.

The population of Star Five lived on ores, relying on the energy in the ores to maintain the body's needs.But this does not mean that they will reject other foods, and want a change of taste, and the meat of exotic animals will be put on the table just like blood.And, rather than the blood contained in the container, they prefer to draw,

A few years ago, Siyaer's spaceship had docked at Star Five for resupply.After a brief stay, everyone on and off the spaceship, including the medical officer, returned to their posts with tooth marks.

Some crew members didn't care and just thought it was a fun experience.

Others are not.

As an alien version of foodie, Governor Alekto paid a heavy price for his momentary "quick talk".

Having seen Alfa's combat power, Alecto once became suspicious. On Xial's spaceship, the crew and soldiers are all disguises, and the medical officer is the main force in the battle.

Not long after the call ended, three medium-sized transport ships passed through the vortex one after another and appeared directly in front of the spaceship.After speaking with the captain in charge, Shial ordered to return.

Alpha walked through the corridor all the way, the color on his body never disappeared.The crew members met on the way retreated instinctively, not wanting to be targeted by the medical officer, let alone suffer inhuman treatment in the following days.

"Alpha, what's the status of the laboratory's application?"

Walking into the medical room, hearing the questions from his colleagues, and thinking of staying in Blue Star in the future, Alpha's mood inexplicably improved again, shaking the recorder in his hand, the whole person became transparent.

"Passed successfully."

Blue Star, District [-]

The fighting power of the black spider is astonishing.

Every time you encounter a group of corpses, a small-scale face-to-face can solve it, and the cat father and squirrel don't need to do it at all.On a slightly larger scale, the long-legged ladies will use spider webs to lay traps. The cat dad and squirrels only need to be responsible for attracting hatred.

After several times of cooperation, the hunters had a tacit understanding, and the zombies fell into the trap one by one.

The black spider took full advantage of the home court, stretched its long legs to tighten the spider silk, and it was completely annihilating one by one, or a group of groups.

The spider silk spewed out one by one, weaving a giant web in the forest.

Once the zombies fall into the net, there is no way to escape.If you want to rely on your jumping ability to jump over, if you can't jump half a meter, your legs will be entangled in spider silk immediately, and you will fall on your back on the spot.Either it was pawed back to its original position by the cat dad, and then it was scratched so hard by the squirrel that it couldn't even get up.

boom!

Snapped!

"Roar!"

The zombie fell to the ground, roaring angrily.

The female spider quickly filled the position, not caring about the opponent's resistance at all, raised her sharp forefoot, tapped left and right a few times, and quickly strung the prey into a string and handed it to the little spider.

click!

The little spider was very excited, and kept tapping its mouthparts. Its slender forefoot poked on the top of the zombie's head, piercing it like a steel needle.

The black blood and brains were mixed together, and the prey soon stopped struggling.

The number of battles has increased, and the black spider has summed up the experience. The spider web is mostly used to block the corpses. When it is really used, the claws are crisp and clean, and the efficiency is higher.

As the number of corpses encountered increases, damage will inevitably occur during the battle.In the case of high-level zombies teaming up, the black spider will also be unable to support it.

Seeing the advanced zombies surrounding several small spiders, the situation is very critical.Qi Le and Song Shu wanted to step forward to help, but were stopped by a long leg.

click!

The female spider stopped the cat father and the squirrel, and instead of rushing forward, she kept tapping her mouthparts and instructed the little spider how to get out of trouble from a distance.

Some little spiders mustered up the courage to kill the zombies with venom and succeeded in hunting for the first time; some did not have the courage to wait for rescue, and finally died under the claws of the zombies.

Click, click, click!

The little spiders that were successfully hunted returned to their mothers one after another.Some of the female spiders raised their long legs, sprayed out snow-white silk, and wrapped all the zombies around. The rest quickly stepped forward, their front legs raised high, and their movements were as fast as light and shadow.

After the light and shadow dissipated, the spider silk was quickly retracted, and there was no complete zombie in place.

Watching the female spider count the children, Qi Le's mood was very complicated.

He understood the spider's purpose in exposing the child to danger, but he did not understand whether such a sacrifice was really necessary.

"This is the rule of the clan." Red Oak walked up to Qi Le and rubbed his cheek. "The habits of black spiders are different from ours. They cannot provide protection for their children forever. These little spiders must learn to survive if they want to survive." Face everything alone, know how to fight the enemy and take the opportunity to get food."

"After the female spider left, no more than one tenth of the small spiders survived, or even less." Heisong added, "This is their way of survival."

Qi Le didn't speak, feeling inexplicably complicated.

Distraught, he forgot the weight of the kitten, and habitually wanted to pick it up, but the kitten didn't move at all, and the cat father froze on the spot, and a cloud quickly gathered above his head.

"Father, I can walk by myself." Qi Ning licked Qi Le's nose, rubbed his head against his chin, and insisted on moving on his own.

Qi Le narrowed his eyes, put his paws on Qining's body, and hugged the kitten even tighter.

Son, can we grow a little slower?

If it continues to develop like this, it will not turn into an orange cat in quantity, but a qualitative change.

Not knowing why, Qi Ning looked up at Qi Le.

Father Cat was still troubled, and even his beard drooped down.

After killing three waves of zombies in a row, Qi Le and Song Shu decided to go deep into the forest and join Mole as planned.

Before setting off, Qi Le walked up to the black spider and said, "You must have seen the situation along the way. The zombies here are very strange, the number is abnormally large, and their actions are becoming more and more crazy."

"There was a wave of corpses in the eleventh district before, and many alien beasts were attacked. Zombies not only hunted and killed adult alien beasts, but also snatched cubs and detained them together."

"We promised Mole that we would help them rescue the cubs that were taken away. We must go to the zombie's lair."

"At that time, there will be more advanced zombies to face, and the situation will become more complicated and dangerous." Having said this, Qi Le paused, "If it is for food, you have already collected a lot. If you want to Teach children survival skills, choose other places, it is best not to move on."

Click, click, click.

The female spider tapped its mouthparts regularly, and at the same time raised one long leg, avoiding the sharp claws, and patted Qi Le's head with the side without steel bristles.

Cat Dad: "..." How should I understand this?

Consolation or farewell?

click!

Black spiders can't speak, they can only express with actions.They lowered their bodies, the little spider slid down the mother's long legs, stood side by side, and followed the mother into the forest.

"and many more!"

Qi Le wanted to stop him, but was stopped by a long leg.

click!

The meaning of the black spider is very clear, they are not afraid of danger, and they must let their children face the danger directly.

On Blue Star, only the strong can survive.

Even if they don't encounter a wave of corpses, they will move around with their children, looking for prey, and honing their survival skills.Those who can survive will definitely be able to support themselves.Those who can't survive can only become food for other native species and exotic animals.

Cruel?

indeed.

But this is the rule of survival, and it is also the key to the reproduction and evolution of black spiders.As long as the population exists, this rule will continue to be passed down, generation after generation.

Guessing the female spider's plan, Qi Le immediately picked up his son on his back, hurried to catch up, and said loudly: "Wait! We also plan to lure the termites to the zombie's nest, let's go together to avoid accidental injury!"

click?

The black spiders all stopped, turned around at the same time, stared at Qi Le with their compound eyes unblinking, and had a thought at the same time: Is this cat crazy?

Moran happened to pass by here and had a panoramic view of this scene.Recognizing Qi Le and Qi Ning, she just raised her eyebrows, without any intention of saying hello, she avoided the ground, chose to fly over the trees, and set off to the next pit.

The mole following her found Qi Le and his party, and immediately jumped out of the ground, waving its paws and shouting loudly: "Qi Le, the alien race you are looking for is up there! Look up there!"

The mole's voice came, Moran's speed became faster, and he disappeared between the canopy in the blink of an eye.Qi Le really couldn't catch up, so he could only ask Black Spider for help: "Can you help stop her?"

click!

Without further ado, the black spider spewed out snow-white silks one after another, weaving a large web in an instant.

The way forward was blocked, and Moran swung the long knife with his backhand, and slammed it down towards the spider web.

The hardness of the spider web was comparable to that of a steel bar, and Moran was forced to stop after failing to get out of the trap.In just a moment, the calf was already entangled with spider silk.

Qi Le quickly ran forward and said loudly: "Do you remember me? I escaped from the spaceship with you! I want to negotiate a deal with you, not fight!"

Don't fight, talk about deals?

Moran swung his knife to cut off the spider's thread, jumped down from the treetop, touched the ground with one knee, and aimed the knife at Qi Le.

"What deal do you want to negotiate?"

With the light blade touching the tip of his nose, Qi Le suppressed the urge to meet his eyes, even breathing very carefully.The kitten wanted to go forward, but he stopped him with his tail.

"I want to ask you to help..."

Qi Le leaned back as much as possible, carefully avoiding the point of the knife, and explained the plan.Moran didn't refuse outright. After thinking for a moment, he quickly retracted the long knife and asked, "I can help you. What can you give me?"

"What do you want, crystal nucleus?" Qi Le asked.

"The wreckage of the spaceship crashed into the blue star before, you should have seen it?"

Qi Le nodded.

"I want to find the usable parts." Glancing at the mole standing behind Qi Le, Moran continued, "Since you can find me, you must be very familiar with the environment. Finding a few pieces shouldn't be a problem."

"Only this condition?" Father Cat and Squirrel exchanged glances, and at the same time remembered the metal plate that was pressed on the spaceship.If it's just this condition, it's simply too simple.

"There is also a crystal nucleus." Moran licked his lips, "You don't need to give it to me, I will take it from the attacking zombies."

"No problem." Qi Le didn't hesitate at all, completely wishing for it.

The two sides reached an agreement that the mole would lead the way and headed deep into the forest.The squirrel and the black spider were always on guard against Moran, but the girl didn't take it seriously, and pinched Qi Le's tail halfway through, and was pawed by the cat father on the spot.

Although it is already a cooperative relationship, it does not mean that he will betray "hue"!

Moran looked at the back of his hand, but he was not angry, but reminded: "Did you forget that I have poison on me?"

Qi Le didn't speak.

He did forget.

Seeing this, Moran smiled in a good mood, ran one hand down Qi Le's back, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no poison in my blood."

As her body recovered, the venom in her body gradually disappeared.As long as you don't get bitten, you won't be poisoned.

"I seem to understand why the medical officer likes to hug you." While speaking, Moran suddenly raised his arms and pulled Qi Le and Qining into his arms.

The cat dad froze on the spot.

The kitten moved its ears, and its little paws automatically opened and stepped.The girl didn't care, but laughed out loud.A lone zombie in the middle was attracted by the sound, Moran jumped up in the air, swept across with his long legs, and kicked the zombie's head out on the spot.

Yas and Alan happened to pass by at low altitude and found a foreign object flying towards them. They instinctively dodged to the sides, and then grabbed it with one paw.

When they found out that it was the head of a zombie, the two brothers were taken aback.

"Yas, look!" Alan threw away the zombie's head and motioned Yas to look down.

Two cats, a mole, a group of squirrels, a group of black spiders, and the one in the cape... It doesn't look like a native species, is it a foreign race?

What kind of strange combination is this?

The two brothers looked at each other, and a huge question mark appeared above their heads at the same time.

Who will tell them what happened in District [-]?
