Qi Le

For the aliens in the Blue Star Base, it is not unusual for squirrels to appear in the airport.

Pirate merchants who have traded with squirrels, such as Captain Aldo, saw the squirrel's bulging cheeks and the net bag on its back, and knew that the business was coming, so they immediately ordered people to check the warehouse to find out the medicines and xenograft materials that the squirrel might be interested in. .

When Qi Le got the news, the squirrels had already completed several transactions, put the medicines they exchanged into metal boxes, and tied them with straw ropes.Immediately after that, we picked out the medicine materials, most of which were purchased instead of raptors, and a few were needed by Morpho and other native species.

Due to the large quantity purchased, the metal box couldn't fit in it, so they could only be tied up with ropes, piled up and put in a net bag, with hay placed underneath, and dragged all the way back to the territory.

Buy all the things that should be bought, and bring [-]% less crystal nuclei.

The squirrels finished counting and walked out of the No. [-] dock.Just as he was about to look for Moran, he saw Qi Le who had jumped off the aircraft. He immediately cheered and rushed up to meet him.

"Qi Le!"

"We're trying to find you!"

The squirrels were very excited and ran extremely fast.After rushing to the front and back, unable to restrain the joy in my heart, I jumped up one by one, and buried the cat dads on the spot.

"Meow!"

The hairballs ignored the weight of the metal box, and Dad Cat was almost crushed to death.After getting up in a hurry, Qi Le's eyes were still staring, and it took him a while to stand still.

"Since you left, you haven't returned to the territory, and you haven't sent back any news. We are all worried." Hei Song rubbed against Qi Le, looked him up and down carefully, and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Have you encountered any trouble?"

While speaking, the tail stood up, swung left and right twice, sparks crackled.Scanning the surroundings with big eyes, it seemed that Qi Le nodded and wanted to vent his anger on him.

"I'm fine, nothing happened." Qi Le shook his head quickly, explaining the matter briefly.Most of the details are skipped, and only important information is picked up.

"Your estrus has come earlier?" Black Pine and Red Oak looked at each other, thinking of their own negligence, they couldn't help but blame themselves.

"It's indeed ahead of time." Qi Le nodded, "Probably because of the relationship with the alien race."

"Foreign race?" The squirrels were taken aback at the same time.

They don't quite understand what this has to do with alien races.

"I don't know how to explain it either." Qi Le moved his ears, feeling that there were some things that were difficult to explain clearly.After deliberating for a moment, he decided to reveal part of the truth.

"Just like we have a estrus period, they also have a courtship period, and they emit pheromones, which seem to have a great influence on me." When Qi Le spoke, certain images inexplicably appeared in front of his eyes.After being dazed for two seconds, he quickly shook his head, his tail rolled over his hind paws, and his body temperature rose faintly.

He can be sure that this kind of reaction is not due to heat in all likelihood.

What is the reason... Qi Le turned his ears and refused to think about it for the time being.

"Really?" Heisong hugged his front paws, with doubts in his voice, "Are you sure? I thought it was because of the crystal nucleus."

"Crystal nucleus?" Qi Le asked in surprise after catching this word, "What's going on?"

Black Pine and Red Oak looked at each other, making sure that the aliens were ten steps away, and then explained: "It's the crystal nucleus you ate last time, remember?"

"I remember." Qi Le nodded, "But it's to suppress the body temperature, and it will return to normal soon after I eat it."

"That kind of crystal nucleus can suppress the symptoms of estrus, and it is very effective for the native species without a mate. However, after taking it, it will cause the next estrus to advance." Red Oak scratched its tail, with an apologetic voice, "Black Pine and I They all know this, and should have told you earlier, but they all thought the other party did. When you know the situation, you have already left the territory."

Qi Le squatted in front of the squirrel, and began to digest the information he heard.

According to the words of the squirrel, although the crystal nucleus is good, it has a lot of side effects.It is not simply "drug resistance", but to promote the estrus period and increase the effect.

In short, the body temperature was 39 for the first time, and directly soared to 41 for the second time.

No wonder he was so feverish that he was unconscious, feeling like he was sitting on a crater, and eating fruit was completely useless.It wasn't Shial who took him to the sea and indulged him for a while, God knows what would happen.

"If I continue to eat crystal nuclei, the situation will get worse. If I don't want to become like that, I must find a spouse as soon as possible?"

"You can say that." Heisong gave an affirmative answer.

"We thought you found it," interjected the red squirrel.

"What?" Qi Le's eyes widened, his face showing surprise, "How do you know?"

Realizing what he said, he immediately raised his paw to cover his mouth.

Not to mention a step too late, there is simply no silver 300 taels here.

"That alien race, with pointed ears, long hair, and strong combat power, the one that can break through the native ant colony." Red Oak said while gesturing with his claws, "We saw him carrying you into the base. Also, the one on you The smell has changed."

"Smell?" Qi Le lowered his head and sniffed, but didn't feel any difference.Or is it that he has been with Shiar for a long time and has gotten used to her smell?

Get used to it... Dad cat waved his paws quickly.

Fortunately, the body temperature did not suddenly rise.

"It's very faint, you can't even smell the black pine." The red squirrel puffed up its chest, pointed its front paws to its nose, and said proudly, "My sense of smell is more sensitive, and I can smell it. But according to your situation, it probably won't take long. It will be back to normal.”

In general, most populations change their scent after finding a mate.

The difference is the length of time.

For example, native cats live alone for most of their lives. After the estrus period, they basically go their separate ways. They only meet occasionally when they have cubs, and the change in smell is only temporary.

Some cat mothers are more straightforward. Firstly, they find the tomcat an eyesore, and secondly, to avoid predators, they take their children to hide on the edge of the territory. Before the cubs grow up, the father and son may not be able to see each other.In this way, the smell is even less likely to last, and it can only last for a maximum of ten days.

Squirrels are different.

They will form a big family and will carry each other's scent throughout their lives.

"But the smell on your body is too weak." Red Oak sniffled, "Could it be related to a different race?"

"And it smells of salt water," added another red squirrel.

Several hairballs raised their heads and tails at the same time, their big eyes widened: "Did you go to the beach?"

Qi Le was dumbfounded.

This nose is too sensitive, right?

"I did, but I'm not sure which district it was."

"I see."

The squirrels nodded understandingly, and patted Qi Le on the shoulder again.

It can be seen that cat dad has a bad sense of direction, which is well known and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The two sides talked for a few more words, confirmed that Qi Le's estrus symptoms were no longer obvious, and found a temporary spouse. The squirrels were all relieved, and their tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Seeing that it was getting late and the goods to be traded were complete, the squirrels decided to leave.

"Are you going with us?" The black squirrel tied the net bag around his body and asked, "Do you want to stay here?"

"Let's go together." Before coming, Qi Le had already thought about it. After all, it was a newly marked territory. If he left for too long, there might be problems and he had to go back early.

Moreover, he had already greeted Xial, and the other party did not stop him.

"Is it really okay?" Red Oak stopped moving, "I thought you would stay for a few more days."

"If you are worried about the territory, we will take care of it for you, and we will definitely not let others take it." Heisong added.

"After all, it's the first time you've found a spouse. Even if it's temporary, you shouldn't leave right away." Another red squirrel said, "If you want to find him next time, maybe you should stay longer."

Even if you want to be a scumbag, you should be a scumbag with style.

If things are done well, it will be convenient in the future.

Understanding what the squirrel was implying, Qi Le tilted his head, slapped his paw, and exploded on the spot.

"What you are worried about will not happen!" Wait, why did he say this?

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

"...if you insist."

Intuition tells the squirrel that it is best not to try to convince a native cat with fried fur.

"Meow."

After they finished talking, Qi Ning stepped forward and rubbed Qi Le's chin.

Tai Sui was hanging on the kitten with a vine in his mouth.Obviously, the alien plants in the base failed to escape the tiger's mouth after all, and were beaten to the teeth by the ball.

It was getting late, and since he had decided to leave, it was natural to leave as soon as possible.

Moran signaled Qi Le, his son and Squirrel to all board the aircraft.

"It's faster this way."

Before the aircraft left, Shial, who was supposed to be in the control tower, suddenly appeared.Ignoring everyone's stares, he bent down and hugged Qi Le, and hung a space button around his neck.

"Meow?"

Pulling the iron-gray round buckle, Qi Le found that this space button is quite heavy, with a rhombus pattern engraved on the surface, and a crystal stone the size of a rice grain inlaid in the center.Putting the paw on it, it seems that a faint energy can be felt.

"There's an aircraft here." Xial supported Qi Le with one arm, picked up his front paw, and pressed it on the surface of the space button.

A flash of white light flashed, and a silver-gray, oval aircraft appeared in front of everyone.

Different from the model used at the base, this aircraft can either set the coordinates in advance or rely on manual operation.

What's more, the aircraft is made of alloy, it can only be programmed, and has higher protection performance, making it suitable for use in the wild.If Qi Le is willing, it can even be used as a mobile home.

For the coming rainy season, it is simply the best place to hide.

The underground bunker looks solid, but no one can guarantee that it will be safe.If the flood flows backwards, it may not be submerged. The last lesson has been profound enough.

They are not zombies and need to breathe to survive.

If it is trapped by the flood or even buried in the soil, the territory will be lost, and the life will be lost.

Just when life is on the right track, it is time to say goodbye to life. Is he wronged?

"Press here when it's on."

Shiar held Qi Le's paw and pressed it on the diamond pattern on the right side of the aircraft. After inputting the palm print, a virtual light screen immediately appeared in front of him.

Seeing Qi Le prick up his ears, he couldn't help but kiss his nose, use pheromones to induce him to change his form, and enter his fingerprints on the virtual light screen.

"After opening the protective cover, it can resist the energy of the intermediate light cannon." Xial held Qi Le's wrist, and taught him how to operate step by step, with extraordinary patience.

The base personnel were dumbfounded, but the squirrel's reaction was a little dull.

This is not surprising.

From the point of view of the Mao Tuan, since they are already spouses, even temporarily, it is normal for them to be close to each other.What's more, Qi Le's smell has changed, so there must be more intimate moves.This kind of complete triviality in front of me is not worth making a fuss about at all.

Even if the two of them do this and that, and then do that again, the squirrels won't blink, and maybe they will discuss it with Qi Le.

Therefore, the name Maotuan Huangbao is really not invented by the cat dad.

"Thank you!"

Qi Le turned his head and sincerely thanked her.

Before he could finish speaking, his lips were suddenly blocked.Before he could react, the pressure on his lips had been removed, warm breath fell to the bend of his neck, and a slight tingling sensation came instantly.

Qi Le instinctively wanted to struggle, but was firmly imprisoned, unable to move at all.

Fortunately, the other party quickly let go, and did not really bite the skin.

Touching the tooth marks on his neck, Dad Cat felt uncomfortable.It's not that he's dissatisfied with Xial's behavior, but that he shouldn't be seen by others.

Maybe God finally heard his heart, and Qi Le successfully transformed back into Lihua without waiting for long.According to Siyaer's instructions, close the virtual light screen, and return the aircraft to the space button.

"correct!"

Seeing the squirrels struggling to carry the metal box, Dad Cat remembered the "incidental" products of the last transaction, and immediately stopped Heisong, took out the space button bought from Satie, and asked him to distribute the goods to his companions.

"There are only five, but it should be enough."

The squirrels were overjoyed, took out the potion from the metal box, and stuffed it into the space button.It's inconvenient to hold it, so just follow Qi Le's example and hang the space button around his neck.

The empty metal box was put into a net bag and dragged all the way back to the territory.

"Wealth is not revealed in vain." Red Oak used what he had learned, and said what Qi Le taught them.

The metal box is already eye-catching enough, if others know the existence of the space button, it is hard to guarantee that it will not cause trouble.Like hyenas, these habitual offenders will grab everything and will surely come after them.

If it is in the territory, the squirrel is absolutely not afraid.

The problem is that there are only a dozen companions around, and there is still a long way to go, so it is always good to be careful.

If you are in trouble, you can fight if you can, and if you can't, throw the metal box to attract the opponent's attention, hang the space button and run quickly.

"Robbery?" Hearing the squirrel mentioning the hyena, Qi Le couldn't help frowning, "What's going on?"

"A group of guys who like to get something for nothing." Heisong tightened the net bag.

"They were in the [-]th district, and somehow they ran across the border. They always move in groups and like to rob."

"Native species and alien beasts are very repulsive, and even loathe them."

After listening to the squirrel's narration, Qi Le blinked.

Another world version of the underworld?

No, according to the way of behavior, it is more like a group of gangsters who bully the weak and fear the hard, and make a living by robbery.

Everything was ready, the squirrels boarded the aircraft and were sent out of the base by Moran.

Qi Le was hugged by Xi Yaer and boarded another aircraft.Found the hand stretching out to the belly, kept in mind the previous lesson, insisted not to bite, everything depends on the claws.

Regardless of whether the relationship between the two has changed or not, it is a matter of principle that if you don't rub your stomach, you won't rub your stomach.

The kitten wanted to follow Qi Le, and didn't want to be trapped by Tai Sui, so he dragged it onto the aircraft where the squirrel was.The kitten waved its paw angrily, but Tai Sui was so strong that he stuck to the metal plate with determination, and couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Heisong stepped forward, took out a piece of exotic animal meat from his cheek, handed it to the kitten, and patted him comfortingly.

"Meow!"

Really unable to break free, the kitten lowered its ears in frustration, bit the meat of the alien animal, and began to tear it hard.However, he always kept Qi Le's teaching in mind, before accepting the meat of the strange beast, he thanked Heisong.

The gate of the base was getting closer and closer, and the speed of the aircraft began to slow down.

Shial stepped past Moran and nodded to the soldiers on duty.

"Commander," Sani approached and said, "The patrol found that pirates had infiltrated the [-]th district, and they are going out to search."

Shial jumped off the aircraft and turned on the communicator, but there was no message from the airport.

"Why is there no alarm at the airport?"

"According to the information sent back by the patrolling personnel, these pirates are from the subsidiary star of Pleiades. They can compress their bodies infinitely, enter a state of suspended animation, and avoid all detection instruments. Moreover, they probably did not enter the airport with the ship, but hid in the space device. , and was thrown into District [-] during the flight."

If it wasn't for the vigilance of the patrolling personnel, perhaps they would have succeeded.

"Can you compress your body, Zanta?"

"Yes."

"I understand." Xial walked to the virtual light screen and entered the pupil fingerprints, "Notify the people going out to continue searching. They don't need to bring them back to the base, and they can be killed on the spot."

"Yes!"

Walking out of the gate of the base, Xiar put down Qi Le, pinched his ears with his slender fingers, and took out more than a dozen blue fruits from the space button.

"If you have any problems, you can come to me at any time."

While speaking, he tapped the space button hanging on Qi Le's neck.There is not only the aircraft, but also a communicator and recorder.In addition, potions configured by Alpha are also included.

Since Shiar entered the courtship period, Elfa seldom appeared in front of Qi Le.Sanders and Gaspers are even more capable of not showing their faces.Qi Le stayed at the base for a few days. Apart from the commander and the food delivery robot, the most common ones were the cultivation officers who could rely on "photosynthesis" for basic necessities of life.

"Thank you."

Knowing that the other party had good intentions, Qi Le put away the fruit, and rubbed Xi Ya'er's palm proactively.Step back immediately after rubbing to avoid being caught in your arms again.

Xial suddenly laughed, avoided the paw of the cat father, and scooped him up again.She pinched the back of Qi Le's neck and kissed his nose.

"I wish you could stay for a few more days."

"Meow!"

"I know it's impossible."

"Meow!"

"so……"

The captain's voice suddenly elongated, and the cat father suddenly had a bad premonition, and the next moment he had a premonition test, he was buried under the watchful eyes of everyone.

For a moment, Qi Le's face was filled with confusion.

Moran kept telling herself that she needed to stay at the base and needed Xial's protection...but her hand still touched her waist unconsciously.

The soldiers present were collectively petrified, and words like "where am I and what did I see" were written on their handsome faces.

Although Xial quickly let go and did not make any more "irrational" actions, he was still scratched twice by the cat father, and two clear scars appeared on his chin.

Although the wound healed quickly, for Sani and others who saw this scene for the first time, this scene can still be recorded in history.

It's really hard to believe that this man who radiates pheromones and is buried in the cat's stomach is the starship captain who made the space pirates frightened and made great achievements on the border.

They must have been up all night and hallucinating.

Resisting the urge to grab it a couple more times, Qi Le jumped to the ground and swung the kitten, "Son, open the way."

"Meow!"

The kitten ran over quickly and rubbed against Qi Le.

Tai Sui turned into a ball, bouncing and following behind the father and son.

The squirrel hung a space button on its chest, dragged a metal box behind it, and walked towards a tall tree in high spirits, preparing to join its companions waiting nearby.

Not long after they left, light flickered in front of the base gate, and the patrol personnel who went out sent back a message that the pirates were lost at the border of the [-]th district.Perhaps they escaped in a hurry, and they left behind a space button, which contained poached blue star beasts.

"Continue to track down and kill them all when found."

After giving the order, Shiar quickly returned to the command room and connected to the airport.

"Seize the suspicious spacecraft and arrest all personnel."

"Yes!"

Gaspas already knew the whole story, and when he walked into the command room, he happened to hear this order, and what he felt was not anger at the pirates, but confusion and doubt.

Are these people brainless?

If you have a brain, how can you do such a stupid thing?

Glancing at Shial who took out the potion again, he felt the pheromone that suddenly rose and quickly faded. Gaspers was sure that no matter whether these pirates were really brainless or not, they would end up miserable, worse than being bombarded to death by laser cannons. The smuggling captain is even worse.

At the same time, the black squirrel brought Qi Le to an arbor, where he joined the left-behind gray squirrel.

"If you speed up, you should be able to return to the territory before sunset."

The territory Heisongkou mentioned was not the trap between the [-]th and [-]th districts, but the underground bunker that belonged to the zombies and now belonged to Qi Le.

The cat father took a look at the sky and wanted to try his speed again.

"Gather the net bags together, and I will run with you."

The squirrels discussed it and decided that this is the fastest way.Collect the hay separately, disassemble the original net bag, and tie it firmly together.

While they were busy, a few furtive figures appeared not far away, their spotted bodies hid in the grass, staring at every move of the squirrel and Qi Le.

Suddenly, the gray squirrel in the tree raised the alarm.

"It's a hyena!"

"what?"

"Why are they again!"

Seeing the figure behind the bushes, the squirrel screamed angrily, threw away the net bag, and quickly gathered together, shaking its big tail from side to side, flashing dazzling sparks.

hyena?

Qi Le raised his head and looked at the group of hyenas walking out of the grass.

Except for their size, they are not much different from the prairie spotted hyenas in memory.The body is very strong, the neck is covered with solid muscles, the mouth protrudes forward, and it makes a piercing cry when walking.

Intuition tells Qi Le that they are neither exotic beasts nor native species, and their evolutionary direction should be similar to that of squirrels.

Now that they were discovered, the hyenas stopped hiding and walked out of the grass one after another. There were more than [-] hyenas in number.

The biggest hyena came out more and more, glanced at the cat father and the squirrel, and said of course: "Leave the potion and the metal box, or I will kill you!"

"Don't think about it!"

The squirrel screamed angrily, and the sparks on its tail crackled.

Father Cat tilted his head and looked at the hyena opposite, his eyes full of disbelief.

Should it be said that they are fearless if they don't know, or are they too thick-skinned?

It was an eye-opener for him to be so confident in robbery.
