Qi Le

Xiar had laughed enough, supported Qi Le with one arm, picked up another fruit, and brought it to Qi Le's mouth.

The cat dad sniffed it, put the fruit in his mouth, kicked Shi Yaer's forearm with his hind legs, and jumped onto his shoulder.

After eating the fruit in two or three bites, Qi Le didn't bother to taste the taste at all. Qi Le leaned close to Xial's neck, rubbed his platinum-blond long hair, and used his paw to draw a strand, firmly remembering his taste.Then he raised his head, called out to the kitten, jumped down in the air, and ran away.

"Meow!"

The kitten jumped over the water jar and spread its paws to catch up to Qi Le.

Tai Sui bounced and followed behind the father and son, his body circled again.Just now, two mutated plants were unfortunately used as snacks by the depressed Tai Sui.

Shiar stood where she was, watching the hairball run away, and walked through the corridor with the plum blossom print on her shoulder, attracting countless eyes.

Several merchant ship captains came towards them, saw the cat's paw prints on the silver-gray robes, and thought of the medical officer who just passed by, the uniform seemed to have the same "pattern".

Looking at each other, a row of question marks appeared above their heads.

Clan crest?

No, the Third Clan is not like that at all!Furthermore, the medical officer is from Star Star, so there is no such habit.

Does that mean it has a special meaning?

Probably.

Thinking they had come to a conclusion, several people wanted to take a closer look, but the captain had already left the corridor and disappeared behind the elevator.

The base staff who led the way coughed and tried to maintain a serious expression.

Recently, the captain has shown various strange behaviors, and everyone in the base is familiar with them.It's just that outsiders don't know the inside story and are often confused.The expressions of these people in front of them obviously misunderstood.

Thinking of the truth of the matter, the crew weighed it carefully, and finally made a "difficult" decision: from the overall situation, let them continue to misunderstand.

"Son, come here." Qi Le jumped onto the conveyor belt, looking behind him vigilantly.After making sure no one followed, he finally relaxed, flicked his tail, and rubbed his cheek against Qining,

"Remember this taste, don't forget it."

"Why?" The kitten sniffled, its face full of doubts.

"Just in case." Qi Le said seriously, "When he's in the restaurant, never approach him. You have to run fast with the leaf in your hand!"

"Run?"

"Yes! Remember?" Now he is catching him, and he is often elusive.God knows if there will be a sudden convulsion, and leaves will be stuffed in the kitten's mouth.

"Remember." The kitten nodded vigorously.

Satisfied, the cat dad turned his ears and licked the corners of his mouth.

Even with the sweetness of the fruit as a buffer, the taste of Jialan leaves still makes him uncomfortable.

Regardless of the effect, whether it can enhance physical fitness, being forcibly fed is definitely not a pleasant experience.

Not to mention a mouthful of mustard!

Thinking of the dinner plates of Shiar and Sanders, Dad Cat couldn't help shivering.Mustard and mint are still the same every day. These aliens either have special hobbies or have a dull taste.

The conveyor belt passes through the corridor, and the sun visor is opened at regular intervals when it encounters it.

The hot wind swept in from the window, taking away Qi Le and Qi Ning's newly shed hair.

The hair danced with the hot wind, fluttering and falling to the ground.

The cleaning robot next to the wall turned on the red light one after another, the metal plate on the chest bounced off, took out the brush cloth towel from inside, bent down its round body, and started a new round of cleaning operations.

Work in a row, making sure not to leave any dead space.

Two robots catch up to the conveyor belt, metal arms raised, holding special brushes in their hands.Both Qi Le and Qining have experience, and they habitually stretch their bodies, letting the brush brush their backs.

Seeing the father and son enjoying themselves, Tai Sui learned how to lengthen his body and leaned in front of the robot.

The robot swiped a few times and found that the touch was not quite right.He raised the brush to have a look, and found that the bristles were flattened by half an inch, and the red light soared to twelve levels.

Waving the missing brush, the robot was very indignant: there is not even a hair, what a mess!It's just too much to add to the chaos, and it also damages the cleaning tools!

Tai Sui formed into a small ball again.

These days, if you don't have good looks, you can't succeed, and if you don't grow hair, you will be despised?

I really can't pass the day!

The drive belt stopped at the corner of the corridor.

Qi Le jumped to the ground, flicked his tail, looking refreshed.

The kitten walked up to him and straightened its body.In the sunlight, the fur is dyed golden.Looking at it again, it seems to be an illusion.

"son……"

"Meow?"

"It's nothing."

Qi Le knew that kittens were different, and also knew that kittens were avoiding topics intentionally or unintentionally.Since he didn't want to talk, he didn't ask.When the day my son figured it out, he would naturally tell him.

Through the glass window, you can see the spaceship sailing into the airport.

The news of Blue Star's open trade came out, and the number of merchant ships gradually increased.In addition to regular alliance caravans, there are also many pirates and smugglers under the banner of caravans.

To the existence of the latter, the alliance caravan turned a blind eye.

It is normal to travel between galaxies all year round.If you really care too much, you can't do business.

Qi Le jumped onto the raised window sill, watching the merchant ships take off and land, recalling the news he heard from Moran, his big eyes narrowed slightly, his paws slid across the metal plate, and the idea of ​​doing business came to mind again.

The opportunity is right in front of us, and it would be a pity to let it go.

Due to various restrictions, it is not suitable for him to come forward in person, so it should not be a problem to ask the green girl for help.It is impossible to buy spaceships and warships, but it is always possible to exchange some commodities such as potions, alien meat and ores.

The most important thing is the antidote.

The fleeing corpses always worried him.

After the previous battle, the two sides are already immortal.If the tide of corpses reappears, the damage will definitely be serious.When encountering poisonous zombies, the loss is even more immeasurable.

Birds of prey can prepare their own antidote, but squirrels cannot.Furthermore, when encountering that special zombie, the raptor's antidote didn't work either.

Even for the sake of prevention, this move is imperative.

In addition, the foreign race has potions that can strengthen the cubs. He heard about it from the mouth of the squirrel and wanted to buy some.

Through these days, apart from the kitten, his companion has always been the squirrel.Opportunities are in front of him, and he always wants to seek some benefits for his partners.If conditions permit, moles, black spiders, crow girls and barn owls can all be counted among them.

However, if you want to trade with the other party, you must give enough crystal nuclei.If you want to give the crystal nucleus, you must send a message, please help the squirrels.

Qi Le couldn't be bothered.

I asked the bee to bring the words before, and this time it is the same.

The problem is that the bee swarm has not shown up for seven or eight days, Qi Le is really not sure if they will come back.If it doesn't show up for a long time, no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless.

After all, he still wanted to settle down in District [-] and own his own territory, so it was impossible to stay in a foreign base forever.If you miss this batch of merchant ships, there is no guarantee that you will be able to catch up with the next batch.

As for talking to Alpha, Qi Le didn't even think about it.

The medical officers were studying the native species, and Qi Le was also observing these alien races.He is [-]% sure that Alpha will prepare the potion for him and will not receive any compensation.This is just not what he likes to see.

Favors are not so easy to owe.

The other party detoxified him, and he already owed his life, and sooner or later he had to try to repay it.It's not in line with Qi Le's principles to be a human being if he doesn't open his mouth again.

Shial told him that there is no need to hesitate when you can borrow strength.But it was a matter of principle, and he couldn't change it easily.

Qi Le raised his head, his gaze followed the movement of the spaceship.

Watching the streamlined hull enter the airport and sail into the dock in an orderly manner, watching the command and dispatch base personnel suspend in the air, recording the information of each merchant ship, and watching the cargo unloaded from the merchant ship, Dad cat rolled his tail. The idea is getting stronger.

"Dad." The kitten rubbed his front paws, and pointed to the flower bed not far away, "I want to play."

Looking along the kitten's paws, seeing the dancing butterflies and the bees following the butterflies, the cat father was immediately refreshed.

It seemed that luck was finally on his side.

"Good son!"

Qi Le hugged the kitten, rubbed against his cheeks, and licked his ears.The kitten was confused, but seeing the cat's father so happy, he simply rolled over and hugged Qi Le's front paws, turning into a ball of hair.

The dry season is coming as promised, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and there is no rain for a whole month.

The sky was as blue as washing, not a trace of cloud.

Occasionally, a group of strange beasts flew by, making listless calls, and the huge figures flew across the low sky, blowing up a gust of hot wind, and the dry grass fell to one side.

Among the yellow grass lurks hunters waiting for their chance.

The strange beast was eager to find the water source, and didn't pay attention to the danger below. When it realized something was wrong, its neck was already entangled by a thorny vine, and it pulled it hard to the ground.

"Roar!"

Discovering that their companions were being attacked, the other beasts did not step forward to rescue them, but instead raised their heights one after another to stay away from the attack range of the mutated plants.

The hidden vines are not just a few, but more than 30.The longest is more than 50 meters, with spikes all over the vines, coiled up like a mutant python.

With a successful blow, the roots of the vine quickly broke away from the soil layer, intertwined with each other, and shot towards the prey.

The strange beast miscalculated the length and speed of the vine, and was caught and pulled towards the ground one after another.

The sharp thorns cut through the chapped hard skin, penetrated the flesh and blood, pierced into the body of the alien beast, and took away the fresh flesh and blood.

The strange beast struggled and screamed in pain, desperately biting the vines, trying to pull them off.The vines didn't move at all, but became tighter and tighter. With the sharp thorns on their bodies, they quickly pierced the prey with blood.

The Strange Beast's struggle was useless, and with all its strength, it only slightly delayed the time of death.

The dead beast fell into the grass, and was quickly wrapped by vines and nearby tall grass, reducing it to a skinny mummified corpse.

The vine let go of the corpse, and the whole body turned dark red.

Before the hunter could hide, the sound of rumbling footsteps suddenly swept over.

A group of eland with crocodile heads galloped across the grassland, trampling on pieces of dry grass, billowing smoke and dust behind them.The hard hoofs stepped over the ambush area of ​​the vines, not only crushing the dead bones of the beasts, but also breaking many grass stems and branches.

In normal times, the vines would definitely fight back and kill one or two ends for extra food.

Today is different from the past, and these alligator antelopes must be able to run for their lives, and they must be hunters not to be underestimated.

Now that it was full, the vine didn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. The dark red vine quickly retracted, wrapped around the rhizome, and burrowed into the soil at an incredible speed.

Feeling unsafe, he pulled the dead grass and gravel around him and covered him all up.

Click, click, click.

Hundreds of young black spiders and jumping spiders rushed in like a tide.

Alligator runs faster.

Don't get me wrong, these spiders are not hunters, they are also running for their lives.Behind them, thousands of army ants are the source of all this.

After entering the dry season, the prey in the ninth zone is not enough to support the entire ant colony.At the order of the Queen Ant, the large army turned around and returned to District [-].

The soldier ants lined up in long lines to clear the way for the large troops.

The worker ants carry the newborn larvae, guard the queen, and move forward in a mighty way.

The main target of the ant colony is not the alligator, nor the spiders that are good at weaving webs and jumping, but the termite mounds scattered in grasslands and forests.

The alligator and the spider ran away desperately, but they were unlucky and happened to be in the way of the ant colony.He didn't want to be a ration for the army ants to replenish their physical strength, so he had no choice but to run around like a girl.

The black spider and the jumping bead cooperate with each other. The former spews out snow-white filaments, one after another; the latter uses its powerful jumping ability to find the target and pull the spider silk to a high place.

The smaller black spiders climbed onto the backs of their companions, using the elasticity of the spider silk to swing up and form a large web at the fastest speed.The spider web hangs in the air and shakes gently with the hot wind.It seems not strong enough, but it can bear extremely considerable weight.

The ant colony is getting closer and closer, and the black spider and the jumping spider climbed onto the web one after another, avoiding the hunters at high places.

Army ants pass by the net, raise their heads and shake their antennae, exchanging information with each other.

A few soldier ants walked up to a spider thread and pulled it a few times with their long legs.The spider web was shaken back and forth, and the black spiders and jumping spiders on the web tapped their mouthparts together, not only to frighten their opponents, but also to cheer themselves up.

Fortunately, the soldier ants in front sent back news that an ant mound was found in the grassland, and the army hurried on their way, temporarily letting the group of spiders go.

The soldier ants withdrew their long legs, shook their antennae a few times, stopped "teasing" these frightened little guys, turned around and joined the main force, and marched towards the predetermined battlefield.

The alligator antelopes were not as lucky as the spiders. They were overtaken by the army ants, and half of them fell under the venom of the ant colony.After catching a certain amount of prey, the army ants have no intention of paying attention to these little spiders.

The crisis was temporarily lifted, and the black spider and the jumping spider did not hold together to celebrate, but separated into two camps, and friends in distress turned into enemies in an instant.

The jumping spiders were the first to attack, and a few black spiders were caught off guard, pierced through their backs, and died on the spot.

Not waiting for the jumping spider to be proud, two large webs descended from the sky.

The black spiders tapped their mouthparts, pulled the spider silk continuously with their forefeet, and quickly retracted the web, covering all the jumping spiders under the net.

click!

A black spider turned its head and asked the sisters beside it: should we eat immediately or find a hidden place to eat?

Click, click!

Food is scarce in the dry season, and anything can happen, of course it is better to find a hidden place.

The army ants have come, will the spear ants be far behind?Not to mention the semi-dwelling fire and black ants.Just thinking about potential food competitors gives black spiders a headache.

They are just adults, and unlike their large mother aunts, they cannot catch larger prey.Even if they cooperate with each other, the food they can get is still limited, and they can barely survive starvation.

They still have a long way to go to survive this dry season.

After being separated from their mothers, the male spiders immediately scattered in all directions.The sixth sense told them that for the sake of their lives, they must not stay with the sisters.

In this regard, the female spiders are quite sorry.

If the brothers stay with them, they can make a spare ration no matter what.

The black spiders pulled the spider silk together, fastened the spider web tightly, and formed a huge net bag.A layer of fallen leaves is wrapped underneath, which can be easily dragged forward.

This is the skill they learned from Qi Le and Squirrel, which saves time and effort.

click!

The female spider decided to take the jumping spider away and raise it to eat slowly.Anyway, they kept pulling the spider web, so there was no need to worry about escaping halfway.And in terms of taste, alive is more delicious than dead.

A dozen or so of the largest black spiders took the lead, and the rest walked on the left and right, pulling the spider silk together.There are also a few standing on the net bag, and when they find out which prey is dishonest, their sharp claws will immediately pierce it. It will not kill them, but it can make the jumping spider lose its ability to move and save a lot of trouble.

The jumping spider was pulled forward and covered its eyes with its furry forefeet, feeling extremely regretful.

How desperate were they to escape with these black spiders?Let's just run away together, why don't you run away immediately when the danger is over, thinking about grabbing a dinner?

Now it's all right, I didn't get dinner, and I became someone else's snack!

Thinking of their impending fate, the jumping spiders turned their claws to the sky and burst into tears.

Not long after the black spider left, the vines hidden in the ground quietly poked their heads.

I thought the crisis was resolved, but I didn't expect a claw to fall from the sky, grab the spikes with a few swipes, peel off the tough outer skin, accurately find the crystal nucleus hidden underneath, and dig it out together with the minced meat.

"Black pine, I found it!" Red Oak bit half of the vine and waved its claws forward.

The black squirrel bit another vine, clawed from the thickest part, and dug out the light green crystal nucleus. With its big tail on its head, it also waved its paw at the red squirrel.

The vines would never have imagined that after sleeping through the rainy season, squirrels found their lair just after waking up and had a full meal, and poached the crystal nucleus on the spot.

More than 50 squirrels and chipmunks were scattered in the grass, except for a few standing guard at high places, the rest were digging.Working together with each other, they kept digging out the thorns and vines hidden in the cave, and sifted through the sieve one by one to find the crystal nuclei.

As long as the roots are not damaged, the vine will not die immediately.When sufficient prey is captured, the nuclei will grow again.

The squirrel knows this, and always bites the vine, and rarely touches the root.

After about two quarters, the nearby vines were cleaned up, and the squirrels gathered together to count the spoils.After making sure nothing was missed, he hid the crystal nuclei in his cheeks and started heading towards the second hunting location.

Qi Le brought back news through the bees that he needed a large number of crystal nuclei to trade with alien ships and exchange for potions and other items.

After discussion, the squirrels thought it was a good idea.Just in case, the crystal nucleus hidden in the ground cannot be moved, and these vines become the best targets.

"Qi Le said that he could exchange the antidote and ore for us." The black squirrel climbed up an abandoned termite mound and looked around.

They leave their own territory and act in other people's territory, so they must be cautious.

"It wasn't him who changed it, it was the female alien."

"No difference."

"If we have weapons, we can fight predators."

"It's not that simple." Red Oak shook his head, "Even if it's available, would you use it? I want more materials to strengthen the burrow, as well as potions to strengthen the cubs, and antidotes."

"Think about that zombie, and those alien races." Red Oak continued, "These are all necessary."

"The foreign race has established a base, and they won't leave for at least a few years. Mole is willing to dig a tunnel and share the territory of District [-]. If he wants to enter the zombie's burrow, he must be prepared."

In case of encountering a group of hidden corpses, these plus crystal nuclei can save your life!

"You don't have to go in, do you?" Chipmunk hesitated.

"Can you rest assured if you don't go in?"

"……cannot."

"So, these are all necessary!"

While Red Oak was talking to Chipmunk, Black Pine had already spotted the target, pointed forward, and waved its paws a few times.The squirrels immediately stopped talking and ran to their destination as fast as they could.

In the base, Qi Le closed the door and sat opposite Moran.The kitten lay beside Qi Le, with its paws hidden under its body, yawned lazily, and insisted on refusing to sleep.

Tai Sui rolled into a ball, chewing something in his mouth.

Glancing at the ball, and then at the kitten lying on the side, Qi Le finally found out the reason for the rapid increase in friendship between the two, they both have the same obsession with eating.

"You want to trade with the merchant ship?" Moran sat on the edge of the bed, propping up one long leg.One arm rests on the knee, the other hand rests on the chin.His long hair has been cut short, and he is wearing a silver-gray top and trousers, exuding a capable and handsome look.

"Yes."

Moran lowered his long legs and his expression became serious.

"Businessmen roaming the border are very smart, not to mention pirates and smugglers. You may suffer from dealing with them."

"So, I think..."

"Ask me to help?" The girl raised her eyebrows, "It's not impossible. But, what can you give me?"

Qi Le had already made up his mind that he would not let the girl suffer.

Open the space button, take out the thousand-year-old skin, divide it into small pieces with similar shapes with its claws, count out ten pieces and place them in front of him, and then push one piece to Moran's hand.

"Every time you complete a transaction, you can take one-tenth of it." Qi Le said.

"One-tenth, are you sure? Usually one-fifteenth." Moran kindly reminded.

For various reasons, not all businessmen will deal face to face, which is the price of finding a middleman.Moran was in charge of contacting the pirates and knew a lot of things under the table.

"You deserve it." Qi Le put his front paws together, with a very sincere attitude, "I want to trade a lot of things, and I need to trouble you a lot, so this price is very suitable."

"Ok."

Moran hugged Qi Le, rubbed his ears, and said with a smile: "Today, a merchant ship entered the port. They have what you want. I'll take you to see it."

The girl said as she walked out.

When the door opened, he pinched Qi Le's hind paw and ran along his tail, the position was a bit awkward.

Qi Le tried his best to keep calm, telling himself that he is not a man now, he is a raccoon, a pure raccoon, a pure raccoon with a kitten... huh?When did he lie in the arms of the girl?

When did the girl leave the room?

Wait, where is the girl's hand touching? !

The cat father widened his eyes and looked down at a certain part poked by the girl.

Moran was amused, so he reached out and poked again.

Due to being too shocked, the cat father froze on the spot, forgetting to react.

This is more serious than rubbing your stomach!

In the command room, Xiar ended the communication with Governor Alekto, switched the screen, and happened to see a scene in the corridor.

It wasn't until Moran disappeared at the end of the corridor with Qi Le in his arms that the captain looked away, staring at the back of his hand that had been caught countless times, and fell silent for a long time.

This is the so-called differential treatment?
