Qi Le

The lake of death was so close that the medical officer was blocked by the fog and could not move forward.

There was a low roar in the mist, like the roar of thunder.

The water in the center of the lake is surging like boiling.Immediately afterwards, the water column soared into the sky, and a black figure leaped out of the water, with bat-like bony wings spread out behind its shoulders, and with a sharp roar, it flew towards the medical officer who appeared on the shore.

The black shadow approached, the bone wings were all opened, the patellar membrane was stretched to the limit, and there were sharp bone spurs at the joints.

Amidst the roar, the black shadow protruded a long, needle-like tongue, clawed his hands, and grabbed the locked prey with a terrifying gust of wind.

"What is this?" Lange backed away quickly, avoiding the bronze claws.Smelling a corrupt smell in his nose, he couldn't help but frowned, "Zombie?"

"It doesn't look like it." Fala flew into the air, holding the laser gun horizontally.

The bone wing zombie seemed to be aware of it, and quickly dodged to one side to avoid the oncoming beam of light.Flew back into the mist without attacking again.

"Roar!"

After the roar, the center of the lake boiled again, and more zombies gushed out of the water.

The first one is nearly three meters tall, and its whole body is covered with rock-like muscles.The top of the head is covered with carapace-like scales, which are dark red.

The back of the zombie was slightly hunched, with two rows of bone spurs protruding, and pungent pus dripped from the tips.There are four arms on either side of the body, and only two fingers on each hand.

Farah and Lange frowned at the same time.

On this zombie, they saw the obvious characteristics of the Redstone star population.

Redstone belongs to Pyridex, and like most planets in the galaxy, its surface is covered by a large desert and its resources are very poor.The residents on the planet are very business-minded, willing to take risks in the universe, and able to survive in extremely harsh environments, so they are very famous among the stars.

"The situation is wrong!" Farah said in a deep voice.

Lange didn't answer, took out the second laser gun, and opened the gun at the same time.

After the bone spur zombie appeared, the bone wing zombie lowered its height, flapped its wings a few times, locked its blood red eyes on the two people on the shore, and let out an even harsher cry.

"Roar!"

Amidst the ear-piercing screams, several taller zombies walked out of the dense fog.

These latecomers were unusually strong and burly, bluish-gray all over, without any hair.The place where the eye sockets should have been was bare, and a zombie in the shape of a skeleton stood on his shoulder.

The skeleton zombie kept waving its arms, and the bracelet on its wrist diffused several red lights.

The eyeless zombie was shrouded in red light, as if being guided, it changed from clumsy to fierce, and its speed suddenly accelerated, roaring and rushing towards the medical officer on the shore.

Farah and Lange looked at each other, one flew higher, and the other retreated rapidly.

The scorching beams flew out continuously, blocking the first wave of attacks from the zombies.

Skeleton zombies had their heads crushed one after another, and thick black blood flowed from the wounds.His chest was pierced through, his heart was scorched by the light beam, and he fell to the ground with a roar.

"Roar!"

Losing the guidance of its companions, the eyeless zombies became violent and clumsy. They couldn't find the direction to attack at all, so they could only keep waving their fists indiscriminately, making a sound of death.

During the battle, the body was torn apart by the light beams, the crystal nuclei rolled down along with the heart, some rolled straight into the water, and sank to the bottom of the lake in the blink of an eye.

The bone wing zombie let out a roar, the blood vessels on the wing membrane swelled, and a gust of wind rolled up, rushing towards Farah in mid-air.

The bone spur zombie bent down, exerting strength with its hands and feet at the same time, its thick fingers grabbed into the soil, like a violent beast, slammed into Lange on the opposite side.

Lange drew the laser gun and aimed it at the top of the zombie's head.Dazzling light beams shot out quickly, smashing the carapace-like scales, and passing through the zombie's entire brain.

Black blood spattered out, sticky and smelly, and fell on the grass, splashing wisps of white smoke.

The zombie lost half of its head, but it didn't die on the spot. Instead, it continued to roar and attack Lange.

"Fala, they are not population transformation!" Lange said loudly.

The key point of the Redstone star population is the brain, once hit, it will definitely die.

Because of this, the inhabitants of this planet have the hardest skulls in the universe, and even cover the top of their heads with protective scales.

If it was transformed by a foreign race, the head of this zombie could not be easily crushed.But now, the scales and skull were easily pierced, and half of the head was missing.What's more, he was hit to the point, but he didn't die on the spot!Even if the appearance is very similar, it will never be the population of Redstone Star!

The injury angered the zombies, and they rushed towards Lange again regardless of the flowing black blood.

Wherever the black blood was sprinkled, the plants would wither immediately.

In order to avoid being infected with the toxin, Lange gave up melee combat and kept backing away to further distance himself from the zombies.Opening the muzzle in flight, hot beams of light flew out one after another.After briefly pushing back the zombies, he shouted to Farah in the sky: "Light Cannon!"

"understand!"

Pharah climbed up and down to avoid the claws of the bonewing zombies.Open the space button as quickly as possible, and take out a small laser cannon.The barrel of the gun is carried on the shoulder, and the muzzle is aimed at the target.

These two zombies are very strange, like a combination of alien race and blue star creatures, revealing a creepy weirdness.

According to Moran's dictation, there were zombies that could absorb the venom of other races in District [-].

in case……

Before he had time to think about it, the bone-winged zombies attacked again.Fran leaned back, and an astonishingly powerful beam of light flew out from the muzzle, hitting the target head-on.

The light beam exploded in the air, and the bone wing zombie lost half of its body, fell straight from a high altitude, and fell hard to the ground.

After finishing the first target, Farah turned the muzzle and aimed at the zombies on the ground.

"Langer, back off!"

At the same time as the sound sounded, Lange flew up, faster than expected.

boom!

The light beam fell vertically, and after hitting the target, it exploded in a circular shape, enveloping all the zombies in it.

The roar of the zombie was covered by the roar, and the tall figure was submerged in the light.

The skin and flesh covering the body surface were scorched, but the body continued to expand, and finally exploded from the inside, turning into pieces of irregular pieces, scattered around the lakeshore.

At the same time, a red light flashed under the surface of the lake, obscured by fog, and neither medical officer could detect it.

After the battle, Farah and Lange returned to the ground, scanned the surroundings, and found that most of the zombies were in disarray, only the bone-winged zombies were still intact.

"I knew I shouldn't have used the laser cannon." Farah took out the rope and tied the bone wing zombie's body, half of the blood-stained wing membrane fell down, making a cracking sound.

Lange didn't speak, disliked the smell of zombies, stretched his arms as much as possible, and picked up pieces of wreckage with branches.During the process, the color of his body continued to deepen, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took no more than a quarter of an hour, but the shore of the lake seemed to have experienced a catastrophe.

The traces left after the explosion, the black spots corroded by the black blood, and the withered plants all showed what happened here just now.

"It's weird here."

After recording the situation on the battlefield, Lange put away the recorder, looked at the foggy lake, and said, "Perhaps we should ask the captain to send a team of soldiers to search under the lake."

"Under the lake?" Fine asked in surprise, "What did you find?"

"Very vague, I can't tell for the time being." Lange shook his head, not wanting to be polluted by zombies, so he could only hold the remains of zombies with his hands, which made his mood even worse.

"It's best to hurry back to the base and find out what's going on with these zombies."

Farah had no objection, the two gave up their planned plan, flew into the air one after another, turned into dazzling light spots, and flew towards the base.

Under the Lake of Death, Gu Xuan narrowed his blood-red eyes slightly as he looked at the crawling zombies.

"They're all dead, and none of them came back?"

"Yes, two alien races appeared by the lake. They have powerful weapons." The voice of the zombie was very weird, as if it had been sanded.However, compared to other advanced zombies, he has independent thinking ability, which is quite rare.

In the process of speaking, the zombie's head was lowered very low, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Xuan at all.

"Why did you come back?"

"I didn't show up, I've been hiding under the lake." The zombie didn't dare to lie.

"Oh."

Gu Xuan made a single sound, and the next moment, he suddenly grabbed the zombie's neck, and his hands with sharp nails penetrated the zombie's chest cavity, and caught a black heart in the other's horrified gaze.

The zombies wanted to resist, but unfortunately they were caught and couldn't move at all.

In the end, Gu Xuan crushed the heart, embedded the blood-stained crystal nucleus into the groove, saw the blue light flashing on the screen, and nodded in satisfaction.

The corpse was thrown on the ground randomly, and was quickly dragged down by the skeleton zombies.

After leaving Gu Xuan's sight, the skeleton zombies each tore off an arm and quickly hid aside.The rest of the zombies swarmed up and shared the feast.

Farah and Lange returned to the base, ignoring the surprised gazes of others, and rushed to the laboratory as quickly as possible with the spoils in their hands.

After a series of tests, the instrument gives the final data.The two looked at each other, their expressions becoming more serious.

These data verified their previous guesses.

"This matter is not simple and must be reported to the captain."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the laboratory slid open to both sides, and Alpha entered the room.Seeing the expressions of the two, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.Surprised: "What's wrong?"

He received a communication from the two back to the base, knowing that they encountered zombies.Just a normal fight that won't turn them into this color.

"Alpha, you have to take a look."

Lange pointed to the data on the screen and said: "These are the zombies found in District [-]. They have the characteristics of the Redstone star population."

"what?!"

Qi Le was preparing to explore a new territory, and didn't know about the discovery of alien races in the Dead Lake.

After sending Patunia and the Fann brothers and sisters away, Father Cat sold five Tai Sui skins to Aldo in exchange for more potions and exotic animal meat.Allocating Tai Sui's share, still filling up the space between himself and the kitten.

After making sure there were no omissions, Qi Le prepared to bid farewell to Xi Yaer.

It was rare for Shiar to not wear a robe, but a simple shirt and trousers, black military boots covering his long legs, and a silver spar inlaid on his belt.

Sitting by the flower bed at the moment, the posture is very casual, even a little lazy.

The sun was shining from the top of the head, the long platinum hair was glowing, the ice blue eyes were softened, and even the voice seemed to be warmed.

"Has it been decided?"

"Yes."

Qi Le shook his head.

Was he dumbfounded just now?

Absolutely not!

Even he doesn't admit it!

The kitten felt bored, so it simply raised its front paw and pressed Tai Sui hard.The latter cooperates with rolling back and forth, one hairball and one ball.Playing pretty hard.

"Stay where you are."

"No, I plan to go to District [-] to find territory." Qi Le said honestly.

He decided to keep in touch with other races, and there were some things that he didn't need to hide.

There are advantages and disadvantages to doing so, and the overall advantages outweigh the disadvantages.The most direct benefit is to maintain a certain degree of trust, start long-term trade, facilitate the acquisition of more necessities, and help yourself and your allies grow stronger.

Without strength, you can't even defend your territory, let alone make great progress.

Qi Le didn't have time to think about what the other native species would think.

Whether you are optimistic or not, it doesn't matter if you think he is crazy or even hostile.In any case, he will not change his mind, let alone give up lightly because of misunderstanding and hostility from others.

He wants to live, and to live better.

Do strangers' opinions matter?

For a cat father raising a son, a piece of exotic meat is not worth it.

The strong survive, this is Blue Star's rule.

He wants to keep getting stronger and stronger, so strong that he can crush any enemy into pieces, and he doesn't have to experience the helplessness of being controlled by others.

"District [-]?" Xial picked up Qi Le, put him on his lap, and turned on the recorder casually, and the blue light diffused, showing a clear image of the base's surroundings.

The images continued to expand, dense jungles, vast grasslands, empty deserts, and endless oceans, presented to Qi Le one by one.

Some places he has been to, others he knows nothing about.Especially oceans and deserts, after he came to this world, he only heard about them from squirrels, but never saw them with his own eyes.

"This is the fifth district, and this is the ninth district." Seeing that Qi Le was interested, Shiar slid the light screen, and the image became more realistic, as if a shrunken real thing appeared in front of his eyes.

Knowing that it was an image, Qi Le couldn't help stretching out his claws, and it was not surprising that he took advantage of it.Looking down at the paws, when he was speechless to himself, a deep laughter came from above his head.

A big hand held his chin, and the warm breath brushed against the tip of his ear.

Qi Le turned his ears, subconsciously wanting to dodge.

Not only failed to escape, but was bitten on the tip of the ear.

Qi Le counted silently in his heart, after five seconds, his ears were still on, and his tail was held again.At this point, the cat father finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his sharp claws popped out of the claw pads, and grabbed the back of the captain's hand fiercely.

Laughter came again, and Qi Le showed his fangs, confirming that this person really has some brain problems.

Finally, he had enough laughing, ignoring the scar on the back of his hand, Xiar supported Qi Le with both hands, turned him around, the face so perfect that it was unreal kept approaching, and finally, it was buried in Qi Le's stomach!

Boom!

As if a thunderbolt struck the head, the cat paws on the spot.

After the claws are fried hair.

"Meow!"

An angry cry sounded, and the cat dad waved his Shadowless Claw.

The kitten pricked up its ears, and found that the cat father was flapping his paws, presenting a certain captain with a chessboard face.Immediately, he meowed, kicked Tai Sui away with his claws, ran a few steps, and jumped up, intending to help his father.

In the middle of the jump, the tail was suddenly grabbed.

The kitten exploded in mid-air, and when it turned around, it pawed and opened its mouth to bite.

The hand was bitten, and Alpha was still a transparent crystal color.The kitten is not yet an adult, no matter how strong the bite force is and how sharp the teeth are, it is nothing to him.

"Hial."

The medical officer coughed, walked forward with the kitten in his arms, deliberately ignored the captain's "wonderful" face, and handed over the recorder.It records the battle process by the lake of death and the analysis data of the zombies.

Qi Le took the opportunity to slide down Xi Yaer's knee, took the kitten out of the flower bed, and slid down the air corridor.After the four claws landed, he found the direction of the gate and quickly ran over.

Anyway, I have already said hello, so when I don't leave now, when will I wait?

Looking at the direction where the hairball disappeared, Alpha raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are they planning to leave the base?"

He didn't think it would be so soon.

"They're going to the eleventh district to find territory." After quickly flipping through the recorder, Xial frowned, "Is this all the content?"

"There are only these at the moment." Alpha shrugged. "If you want to get more accurate data, you must capture similar zombies, or send someone to search for the dead lake."

"Can you identify the reason for the conversion?"

"Not yet, I can only conclude that it is not a natural transformation." Alpha shook his head, "As I said before, we must find more samples, preferably alive. And..."

"what?"

"According to Farah and Lange, it can't even be called a transformation, it's more like a messy mix." Alpha said solemnly, "If the guess is true, the uncertainty and danger will become higher."

"I see."

Shial nodded, the scars on his face had all disappeared.Pale fingers pressed the communicator, issuing new orders to the patrolling team that was going out.

Alpha was about to leave when a thought flashed through his mind, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Xiaer, the place where the zombies appear is very close to District [-]." What if the two hairballs encounter them?

"There will be no danger." Knowing what Alpha was worried about, Shial's answer was simple and clear.Even ignoring the surprised gaze of the medical officer, he got up and left the flower bed.

"Are you sure?" Alpha quickly followed up. The two were about the same height. If Alpha wanted to, there would be legs under the neck, and they couldn't get rid of it at all.

"determine."

"One hundred percent?" Alpha followed all the way to the command room, vowing not to give up until he got an answer.

Xial glanced at him coldly, but the medical officer remained unmoved.

The captain was finally defeated.

"I have ordered patrols to Dead Lake and will go there myself if necessary."

"Go in person?"

"Yes." Shiar jumped off the conveyor belt and looked at Alpha who was still following behind, "Is there anything else?"

"No." The medical officer took it away as soon as he saw it, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

In front of the gate of the base, Qi Le took Qi Ning to bid farewell to Moran.

"This is the communicator."

Moran took out a small round buckle, briefly demonstrated how to use it, and signaled Qi Le to put it away.

"I can't solve the trouble, just press it, and I will know right away. If you want to come to the base, you can contact me, and I will wait for you at the old place."

"Thank you."

"Need not."

The green girl hugged Qi Le, buried her face in the soft fur, and whispered: "I have no relatives, no friends. I thought I would never trust anyone, you are the only exception."

The cat father was very moved, his tail wrapped around Moran's wrist, and he meowed.

"I will keep my promise." Moran put his hands under Qi Le's armpits, and while Dad Cat was moved, he leaned in and kissed him on the nose, then hugged him into his arms, and poked an unexplainable part.

Qi Le stared at the sky speechlessly, thinking that this was an important difference, so he simply gave up resisting, gave up... give up, meow!

The cat father clamped his tail, swung his front paw vigorously, and patted the girl's wrist.After Moran let go, he fell freely, turned over in mid-air, and stood firmly on the ground with four claws, not giving the girl any chance.

The girl suddenly laughed, laughing wantonly, her eyes curled up.

The fangs are white, and the poison sac under the tongue is looming.

"I'll take you here." Moran bent down, supported his knee with one hand, and ran the other hand along the kitten's back. When it was retracted, it bounced on Tai Sui's body.

The kitten rubbed against the girl's palm with a very friendly attitude.

Tai Sui opened his black bean eyes wide, as if he didn't quite understand why the girl wanted to flick him.

"Goodbye."

Qi Le put the communicator into the space button, flicked his tail, motioned for the kitten to follow, then spread his paws and ran towards the squirrel's territory.Tai Sui followed behind the father and son, not slow at all.

After running 200 meters, Qi Le stopped suddenly and looked at Tai Sui strangely: "Aren't you staying in the alien base?"

"Don't stay." Tai Sui was straightforward.

"Then look for another territory?"

"No plan."

"Why?" Father Cat was puzzled.

"I want to be with you!" Tai Sui resolutely said.

"You may not be able to eat well if you follow us." Qi Le frowned.

Their food variety is not as rich as that of foreign races.The food stored in Space New Zealand can only last for a period of time, and it will definitely have to be hunted in the future.The prey can't be eaten in one meal, and the rest must be dried and stored, which is definitely not as good as the fresh meat in the base.

"It doesn't matter." Tai Sui said that he and the kitten have a deep friendship, which cannot be measured by a few pieces of exotic animal meat, "I can help hunt!"

The kitten was very moved, and immediately pounced on the ball and rolled together on the spot.

The cat father stared at the sky speechlessly.

It seems that this guy is going to carry on his tenant career to the end?

Seeing his son's happy look, the cat father flicked his tail, forget it, there is nothing wrong with that.

At that time, the squirrels were moving in groups and were very busy.

The black squirrel went to District [-] to find suitable vines for transplanting, and the black spider followed him to do long-term work again, exchanging labor for food.

The red squirrels were busy digging tunnels, and the mole offered to help them open up all the territories of each other.On a whim, they even widened the burrow left by the pangolin at the border, propped it up with ore and rocks, and built houses inside.Although it is still very simple and located below the surface, it already has the embryonic form of a village.

Chipmunks are responsible for distributing potions, taking care of their cubs, and vigilant around their territory;

The gray squirrel walked out of the trap, contacted the birds of prey who came to exchange the antidote, and bargained over the number of crystal nuclei, which made the birds of prey itch, but couldn't take a bite directly.

Overall, the Squirrels are on track to keep going.

In contrast, the life of other native species and alien beasts was not so satisfactory.

As the drought deepened, the water level of the river began to drop, and some sections of the river stopped flowing.

There are dense forests in the eleventh district, so there is no big problem for the time being.

A large area of ​​the twelve districts is grassland, and the problem of water shortage is quite serious.Residents on the grasslands were forced to travel long distances and leave their territories in search of water sources to maintain the vitality of the group.

In previous years, squirrels would also suffer from lack of water.

Today is different from the past, under Qi Le's suggestion, they dug out the groundwater to form a pool that will not dry up.

Even though it hasn't rained for several months, the vines near the pit are still growing luxuriantly, and the vines are intertwined with each other, covering the pit tightly and forming a large area of ​​shade.

In order to make room for the transplanted mutated plants, the squirrels also removed parts of the original vines.

As a result, as soon as the front foot is removed, the back foot will come back by itself.There is really no way but to use metal plates to separate them into different areas to prevent adjacent heterogeneous plants from competing for territory.

It doesn't matter if you fight, in case of casualties, the production of crystal nuclei will be reduced, the number of crystal nuclei will decrease, and the transaction with foreign races will inevitably be affected.As far as this is concerned, the squirrels' farm plans are very hindered.

Fortunately, the metal plate had an effect, and the heterogeneous plants stayed in their own territory honestly, and none of them crossed the boundary.The squirrels were temporarily relieved.

The water pool in the territory not only meets the daily needs of the squirrels, but also attracts many thirsty visitors.

Since the water pool is located at the bottom of the pit and covered with vines, if you want to drink water, you must go down the pit wall.For groups that have no wings and are not good at climbing, accidents are likely to happen during the process.

When encountering native species, everyone can reason. If the other party is willing to pay the crystal nucleus, the squirrel will even help heal the injury, and then ask the black spider to help pull the injured out of the pit.If it were a strange beast, there would be nothing to say. They would swarm up, separate them neatly, and dry them to make food reserves.

In order not to be thirsty to death, knowing that there was an ambush under the pit, there were still a large number of strange beasts rushing forward.

When they broke into other people's territory, they had to take considerable risks.If you are unlucky, you can finish the game on the spot. If you are lucky, you can drink water and avoid ambushes, and you can always survive until the end of the dry season.

When Qi Le came back, he happened to encounter a herd of thirsty beasts breaking into the territory.

This time, two pairs of ostriches with their children and several groups of small exotic animals came.

Two ostrich couples met on a narrow road, and saw the little ostrich behind each other, and their eyes turned green at the same time.I don't care about drinking water, so I take up my wings and do it first, and whoever wins the child will get it.

The location of the battlefield is less than 50 meters from the pit.

Comparing the size of himself and the other party, and looking at the thick long legs of the ostrich, the cat father decisively held down the kitten and patted Tai Sui with his paw, deciding to find a hidden place to watch and wait for them to finish the fight.

The two couples fought extremely fiercely, kicking each other with long legs and flying feathers.

Every time an adult ostrich flaps its wings, it will be charged by friction, and the blue arc will fall to the ground. In an instant, the electric light will flash and sparks will fly.Large pieces of rock were blown to pieces, and all the nearby plants were charred and black, emitting a cloud of white smoke.

Seeing this scene, Dad Cat is glad that he made the right choice.

Those with long legs are not easy to mess with, as are black spiders, and so are ostriches.
