Qi Le

As the night darkened, the birds of prey that went out to hunt came back one after another.

Some bring their prey to their families and companions, and stop at high places to preen their feathers.Some of them didn't care about rest, and exchanged news with each other, realizing the seriousness of the situation, hurriedly flew through the long and narrow corridors, found the leader of the group, and expressed their worries.

"This rain is unusual," an elderly golden eagle spread its wings and shook off the rainwater from its body, worrying, "There may be floods."

"flood?"

"There is a big flood, and we must leave as soon as possible." The golden eagle has experienced too many rainy seasons and encountered floods no less than ten times.The sudden heavy rain made her alert and gave birth to a very ominous premonition.

Flooding during the rainy season is not uncommon.

In previous years, floods did not pose much of a threat.

The most common way is to reduce the number of times you go out.

In order to take care of the weak and young of the same kind, the elders can take turns to hunt.With the advantages of evolution, as long as the minimum food supply is guaranteed, it will be able to survive until the flood recedes.

This year is different.

In addition to the flood, there is also the threat of alien races!

The hunting ground is located in District [-]. If you can't leave as soon as possible, you may be trapped here and eventually become the spoils of aliens.

The news of the flood spread quickly, and the leaders of the various ethnic groups gathered together and quickly made a decision to change the original plan and leave the eleventh district immediately.

Relying on this sudden torrential rain, most of the birds of prey have returned.Even if you are not at home, you are on your way back.It didn't take long for the birds of prey to gather at the entrances and exits of each floor as a family.

"Don't wait for the rain to stop?" A young barn owl asked.Looking at the pitch-black rain curtain, there was uncertainty in his voice.

"This rain will not stop, and there will be floods soon. If you are trapped here, you will become the prey of other races." Yas is in charge of taking care of the young siblings, and informs the tribes where to gather.

"Follow your mother, you must persist no matter how tired you are, and you must never fall behind. If you are left behind, no clansman will turn around and come to you."

The barn owls nodded their heads nervously, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.

"Don't be afraid." Alan stepped forward and rubbed his youngest sibling with his beak, "As long as you keep up with the group, you will be safe. When you arrive at your destination, I will take you to catch hamsters. They taste better than squirrels." better."

Yas glanced at his brother and nodded slightly.

Everything was ready, the nocturnal groups set off first, and the strongest flew ahead, forming an orderly queue to lead the way for the subsequent groups.

No matter what the usual relationship is, whether there have been fights, or whether they don't like each other, at this moment, they must abandon their prejudices, work together to rush out of the heavy rain, and escape the crisis that is close at hand.

Yasi and Alan Fei are in the first echelon.

The two brothers spread out their gray-brown wings and flew alternately at the forefront, singing loudly from time to time to ensure that the large army would not get lost in the wind and rain.

The rain is getting heavier, the thunder is roaring, and the lightning strikes from the heights, instantly illuminating the dark clouds.

A violent wind rose from the ground, whistling and wreaking havoc in the night, like a monster roaring.

The proud bird of prey spreads its wings and sails against the wind in the torrential rain.

Halfway through the flight, Yasi was exhausted and exchanged places with Alan.Seeing the young barn owl flying behind him, he unexpectedly thought of Qi Le and Qi Ning hiding in the spaceship.

Can they escape safely?

Yas wasn't sure.

The torrential rain came too fast, and the two native species might not have had time to escape.If you can't leave as soon as possible, the biggest possibility is to be trapped in the hunting ground.

At that point, their chances of surviving will become even smaller.

However, the evolution of Blue Star is like this, natural selection, the strong survive.The help of external forces is only temporary, and whether they can escape this disaster depends on themselves in the end.

Yas sighed, seeing that Alan's speed slowed down, he immediately threw away his complicated thoughts, and flew forward to exchange places with his brothers.

He and Qi Le just met by chance, so there is only so much he can do to help.The most important thing right now is to lead the group out of this land of death that is about to be blocked.

The birds of prey left in the rain, crossed the border between District [-] and District [-] before the flood came, and continued on to District [-] after a short rest.

Other ethnic groups have not had such good fortune.

The rainstorm came unexpectedly.

In the blink of an eye, the water level of the river skyrocketed.The raging water broke through the river bank and spread rapidly.

A large number of native species and exotic animals had no time to migrate and were completely trapped by the flood.In order to survive, some had to leave the territory and go to a high place. In a panic, they crashed into the hunting ground that was about to be closed.

They escaped the flood, but they may not really escape death.

At the border of District [-], Shiar and Sanders successfully intercepted the ant colony, joined Gaspas and others who executed the same order, and returned to the spaceship docked in the center of the hunting ground.

In view of the fact that there are strange beasts and native species being approached by the flood, Xial received an order to suspend opening the barrier so that more prey could flood in and provide more "choices" for the incoming military cadets.

Sanders rarely raised objections, but raised his hands in favor.Chatting with my peers during the break, when I mentioned this hunting season and the people involved in the hunting, there was a bit of irony in the words.

"If native ants enter District [-] at this time, it's none of our business."

In fact, most of the crew members on the spacecraft have a similar perception to Sanders.

Since he is going to the Blue Star for trial, he should face the real danger, and he should bear the responsibility of being injured or even falling.

Aliens hunt the blue star population, and in turn, the blue star population can also hunt and kill aliens.Proving yourself with strength and leaving the hunting ground with trophies is the glory that a warrior should have.

Early expulsion of native ant colonies and removal of the greatest threat from the hunting grounds is a joke.

"If the heavy rain doesn't stop, will the spaceship of the military academy be postponed?" Sanders said lazily, leaning against the hatch.

If that's the case, the fun will only be greater.

"Would it?" Gaspers' hair was blond, brighter than the midday sun.The blue eyes are full of tenderness, and there is always a smile on his face. It is hard to believe that he and Xial are from the same clan, and their blood is very close.

"Would you like to bet?" Sanders suddenly became energetic.

"No bet." Gaspers smiled and shook his head, leaning against the hatch like Sanders, staring at the screen not far away, and said, "Why should I bet with you if I can guess the result?" ?”

"It's boring." Sanders stretched his waist and planned to go back to the cabin to rest.

Watching him leave, Gaspas turned his head, his relaxed expression turned serious, looked at Xial who was dozing in the command chair, and asked, "What do you think?"

"Among the military academy students this time, there is the heir of the first clan."

Shiar closed his eyes halfway, and tapped the alloy armrest with his fingers, his voice didn't fluctuate too much.

"The First Clan has stood on high ground for too long, thinking that everything is under control. If their heirs are seriously injured or even perish in the hunting ground, the mother planet will definitely put on a good show."

Gaspers leaned against the bulkhead, scratched the lines on his belt boredly, and snorted, "That Oren who is called a genius?"

"Otherwise?" Xiar turned the command chair, propped his chin with one hand, his platinum-blond long hair was draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were rarely stained with a smile. "If you didn't sense the danger, why bother so much."

I don't want outsiders to see discord within the clan, and I don't want others to take advantage of it. The safest way is to cancel this hunting season.When the internal conflicts are resolved and the winner is completely determined, there will naturally be a stage to show strength.

However, doing so will come at a price.

As a result of the incident, whether it was Oren himself or his father who was the speaker, the situation within the First Clan would become very awkward.

Will the result be better with the current practice?

It's just self-deception.

"politics."

Xial sneered, playing with a crimson crystal nucleus, and did not make a sound.

The heavy rain continued for several days, but it didn't decrease in the slightest, but got bigger and bigger.Thunder roared continuously, and sometimes lightning struck, destroying ancient buildings and breaking centuries-old trees.

The flood swept in, and the spaceship where Qi Le and his son lived seemed to be stuck in a vast ocean like a lonely boat.

The corpses of the army ants floated to the surface of the water, forming a long black bridge, floating and sinking in the muddy mud.

Qi Le wanted to leave for a while, but was forced back by the flood without exception.Twice, they encountered a herd of galloping beasts, and the father and son were almost separated in the chaos.

If it wasn't for Qi Le's desperate efforts to jump on the back of the strange beast with Qi Ning in his mouth, and use his strength to jump up a big tree, he would be trampled to death by the herd of beasts if he wasn't drowned by the flood.

After the herd passed, the flood rushed past, and the current was turbulent, forming one vortex after another.

The father and son were lying on the tree, and saw with their own eyes a few huge strange beasts caught up in the rapids, struggling a few times and disappearing.Looking into the distance, you can see the vast ocean, except for a few solitary trees and broken roofs, there is no sign of land at all.

The road to District [-] was completely blocked, Qi Le didn't want to die in the heavy rain and flood, so he had to take Qi Ning back to the spaceship.

The way back is also not easy.

Qi Le gritted his teeth, turned into a human form, put Qi Ning on top of his head, and proceeded carefully in the muddy water.His swimming skills are really mediocre, but if he was lucky, if he found a piece of floating log, both father and son would be sucked into the bottom of the water.

After returning to the spaceship, the situation is still grim.

Rainwater kept pouring in from the cracks in the cabin roof and hull, Qi Le's hands and feet were cold, and his face turned pale. Qi Ning's condition was even worse, his hair was wet all over his body, and he was shivering from the cold.

"This is not the way to go."

Seeing the gradually rising water level, Qi Le made a quick decision, waded through the knee-deep water, moved the metal chair to a corner, picked up Qi Ning and put it on top.He picked up another piece of sharp ant shell, stuck it on the edge of the back of the chair, and fixed it firmly.

The rainwater hit the ant shell, making a crackling sound.

"Father." Qining's teeth chattered from the cold, and he looked very pitiful, "Cold."

Qi Le bent down and kissed the kitten's nose, and comforted him: "When Dad finds something to plug this gap, the rain won't be able to come in."

Qi Ning tried his best to form a ball, hiding his four paws under his body, and curled up into a small ball.

Qi Le looked towards the cabin roof, thinking about where to start.

The breach was so large that there was simply not enough material in the cabin.Qi Le left the spaceship in the rain, stepped into the muddy water, retrieved a few empty ant shells nearby, climbed up to the roof from the outside of the spaceship, and got stuck in the cracks one by one.

The ant shells are stacked continuously, and the sharp edges are inserted into the metal panels to form a unique "roof".

The water flow falling into the cabin changed from large to small, Qi Le collected materials nearby, grabbed the soil and pasted it on the hull of the boat.He knew it was stupid to do so, but in order to survive, he had to try it whether he was stupid or not.

"Ah!"

While collecting materials, Qi Le sneezed, his hands and feet were wrinkled and his face was completely pale.Encountered a strong wind in the middle, and almost flew away with the wind.After finally stabilizing his figure, his forearm was scratched by an ant shell, leaving a long and thin mark.

"Fortunately it didn't break."

Qi Le hissed and shook his arms.

It hurts even if it's not broken.

At this moment, a few planks floated into the water, and there were also some strange beasts that died in the flood.

"nice one!"

Qi Le's eyes lit up, and he jumped into the water with a plop, using the ant corpses to block the plank, and dragged him up to the roof with all his strength.

The gap left by the ant shell was filled, and the sharp ant feet were used as spikes, and the biggest gap was finally blocked.

Satisfied with his work, Qi Le jumped off the spaceship, picked up a few ant corpses, and planned to take the shells and spread them on the bottom of the cabin to build a simple bed for Qi Ning and himself.

Don't ask for comfort, at least it must be able to isolate the rain.

As for the hunting ground Yas mentioned, he had no time to think about it.

It is dangerous to stay, but with such heavy rain, going out is still a dead end.

He can persist, what about Qi Ning?

Qi Le didn't want to take any risks.

Pulling apart the movable ant shell, Qi Le threw the army ant in first, and then slid down the bulkhead.

"Son, I'm back! Is it warmer?"

After landing, Qi Le stood up and saw the situation in the cabin, the smile on his face froze immediately.

When he left, there were more than 20 red squirrels in the cabin, occupying every corner that could shelter from the rain.

Standing on the metal chair, Qi Ning arched his back, bristled his wet hair, glared at the group of uninvited guests, and let out a threatening growl.
