The mechas landed one after another and took them back. Lan Yu heard Lu Rankong's voice from the intercom: "Everyone quickly count the number of people and see if there are any casualties."

"One soldier from the first battalion was injured, and four mechas were damaged, but no one died." Lin Zhu was the first to finish the count.

"Three mechs from the Fourth Battalion were damaged, and two soldiers were injured, but none died." Chen Yutan's voice said.

After listening to the statistics of several team leaders, Lan Yu also said: "Two mechas of the second battalion were damaged, one was injured, and no one died."

"Go back to the dormitory first, and heal the wounded."

After everyone returned to the dormitory, the four battalion commanders walked back at the end.

Chen Yutan sighed, and said, "At first I thought there were no Star Beasts, but the military department made a mistake, and it turned out that there really are."

"This is a spiny beast, right? Why did they come to Wei Ya?" Lin Zhu asked curiously.

Lu Rankong pondered for a while, and said: "This kind of spiny beast grows on the companion star of Wei Ya, and it is only a few hundred thousand kilometers away from here. Although the servant bird has no combat power, it has a special ability that can make miniature short-distance jumps point, they cooperate with each other to hunt interstellar beasts on the surrounding small planets, this should be to go to other places, and come to Via Planet by the way."

"Then will they leave? If not, shall we stay and drive them away?" Lin Zhu asked.

Lu Rankong said: "If they don't leave, we can only stay. After all, there is a transition station here, so we can't be careless."

Lan Yu looked around while listening to their speech. When she looked in a certain direction, she suddenly stopped and said, "We can leave tomorrow."

"Well, what's the matter?" Lu Rankong followed his gaze, and said, "We can leave tomorrow, and the Thorn Beast is returning to the companion star."

I saw not too far ahead, a large group of black servant birds, carrying the spiny beasts and flying straight to the sky.

When it reached a certain height, all the servant birds gathered together, and their bodies began to emit white light.And right in front of them, a small black hole gradually appeared.Then, the servant birds flew in in turn, and when the last one also entered, the black hole disappeared.

Several people stopped and looked there, and did not walk to the dormitory until there was nothing in the night sky.

Lu Rankong said: "I will ask the military department to confirm again. If they all leave, we will return at dawn."

Lin Zhu and Chen Yutan nodded, and Lan Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the dormitory area, the four of them went to see the wounded first, and then taught the two soldiers who fired in panic at first.Fortunately, the military medical equipment they carry are all the most advanced instruments at present, and the wounds of the wounded are already healing.

The military department quickly responded to the news, saying that the interstellar beast had left Wei Ya and was now safe.

"Persevere, don't slack off, continue to take turns on duty, and we will return at dawn." Lu Rankong arranged the soldiers and returned to the hut with Lan Yu.

Lu Rankong got into his sleeping bag, opened his mouth and called Lan Yu: "Come in, it's very warm inside."

"No, I'll just sleep on my own." Lan Yu rejected his invitation and got into the next sleeping bag.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say you wanted to sleep with me at first, warm?"

Lan Yu turned over, turned her back and said, "Warm is warm, but you don't let people sleep well."

Lu Rankong laughed, leaned over his upper body to look at his face, and said, "I'll just hold you still."

Lan Yu thought for a while, then turned her head and asked, "You promise?"

"I promise……"

Lan Yu quickly got out of her sleeping bag, and slipped into Lu Rankong's arms.

Lu Rankong really did what he said, he just kissed him on the forehead, and said softly: "Sleep, take care of yourself, I won't disturb you."

In the silence, the lights dimmed slowly, Lan Yu yawned against Lu Rankong's chest, and asked, "Those thorn beasts are also unlucky, they were beaten for no reason, and so many died."

Lu Rankong said: "You don't have to sympathize with them. This kind of interstellar beast is the most cruel. It loves to wander among the stars. Every time it reaches a planet, it will prey on the interstellar beasts on it before leaving. It is a group of hungry wolves. .”

"Then it's bad luck for them to meet us, right?" Lan Yu asked.

Before waiting for a reply, he looked up at Lu Rankong and found that he was silently looking at the ceiling.

"what happened?"

Lu Rankong spoke slowly, with a trace of confusion in his voice. "Actually, I don't know why the spiny beasts came to Via planet, because there is no prey they can hunt on this planet."

"Forget it, don't think about it, it's just that they are unlucky." Lu Rankong closed his eyes and said, "Go to sleep, it's getting late, and we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Lan Yu also closed her eyes, and said sleepily, "Go to sleep, it must be very late now."

Lu Rankong was silent for a while, "It's seven o'clock in the evening."

"What? It's only seven o'clock in the evening?" Lan Yu opened her eyes in surprise.

"Yeah, don't we go to bed after four o'clock?" Lu Rankong replied.

It was only seven o'clock?

Usually at this time, sometimes I haven't had dinner yet.

Lan Yu suddenly felt that he was not drowsy anymore.

"Why didn't you sleep? Didn't you still feel sleepy just now?" Lu Rankong couldn't help asking when he saw his eyes suddenly brighten up.

"It's only seven o'clock, how can you let me sleep?"

"But I didn't know it was seven o'clock, weren't you yawning?"

"But I know it now. Now that I know it, how can you let me sleep?"

Lu Rankong pressed his head on his chest, and said: "Listen to Brother Bao's heartbeat, one beat will turn into a lamb, you count, and you will fall asleep after counting."

Lan Yu really listened to his heartbeat quietly. After listening for a while, Lu Rankong snored slightly above his head.

He listened for a while, then gently pushed Lu Rankong, "Leopard, Leopard, I can't sleep."

Lu Rankong stopped snoring, and asked sleepily, "Can't you fall asleep even counting your heartbeats?"

"Can't sleep..."

After Lu Rankong asked this sentence, there was no reply, his breath was gentle and long, and he obviously fell asleep again in an instant.

Lan Yu opened her mouth angrily and bit his shoulder, and said softly, "Who told you to tell me the time? Who told you to tell me it's only seven o'clock? Otherwise, I would have fallen asleep long ago."

Lu Rankong was woken up again, and smiled, but didn't open his eyes, and only raised his hand to pat him on the back.

It was quiet all around, and the soldiers were also sleeping. Lan Yu blinked and looked ahead, her vision gradually became hazy, and finally fell asleep slowly.

The next day, when Lan Yu woke up, she found that the person beside her was gone, and the footsteps of soldiers coming and going in the passage came from outside the door.

As soon as he got out of his sleeping bag, Lu Rankong pushed the door open and came in, saying: "I received the news 10 minutes ago that a hurricane is coming. I just woke everyone up and started to eat something."

Lan Yu dragged the backpack again, took out two nutritional supplements from it, handed the apple-flavored one to Lu Rankong, and said, "Here, the banana-flavored one."

Lu Rankong took it, unscrewed the cap and drank it, pointed at Lan Yu with his finger, and said, "You want to lie to me again, it's obviously watermelon flavored."

Just when Lan Yu was about to speak, he smiled and said, "Just kidding, it tastes like apple, it's delicious."

Lan Yu walked over, bumped him lightly with his forehead, and laughed too.

The team packed up and set off to the starship berth. Because the hurricane was coming, everyone speeded up the process, and it didn't take long before they reached the canyon full of icethorn worms.

Lan Yu paused hesitantly. When he thought of those dense dark red spots, the bumpy feeling under his feet, and the crackling sound of ice cracking when he was crushed, his scalp began to tingle.

Lu Rankong stood with him at the entrance of the canyon, looked into the canyon, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think the thorn beast is more terrifying, or the ice thorn insect? The thorn beast will hurt you, but the ice thorn worm will not."

Lan Yu was silent for a while, and said, "I am willing to fight the Thorny Beast again."

A soldier from the third battalion walked and looked back.As soon as he turned around, he couldn't help but look back again.

"What are you looking at? You can't walk well..." said the soldier behind him.

The soldier said, "It's all right, I may have been mistaken."

After walking a few steps, he turned back and rubbed his eyes.

"What's the matter with you, keep looking back?" The soldier behind him also turned his head to follow his line of sight, and then stopped talking.

"I am not wrong, right?"

"That's right..."

The other soldiers also looked back curiously, discussing in shock.

"Why is Dad carrying black heart K?"

"Colonel K is still burying his head on his shoulder. Is there some discomfort in his body?"

"When did they get along so well?"

Their discussion became louder and louder, which attracted the attention of the soldiers of the Second Battalion. A small team leader was the first to notice this situation, and quickly left the team and ran back.

"Colonel K, are you feeling unwell?" The captain ran to stand in front of Lu Rankong panting.

Lu Rankong said: "His stomach hurts a little. After passing through this canyon, he will recover after using the healing device."

Lan Yu buried her entire face on Lu Rankong's back. Hearing this, she just shook her head, then nodded again without saying a word.

Seeing that he still reacted, the team leader breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lu Rankong warily, and said, "Thank you Colonel Lu, let me recite Colonel K next."

"Just go back and take care of those soldiers. I'll carry him." Lu Rankong said.

The team leader knew that he had conflicts with K, so he was really worried, so he bit the bullet and insisted: "Colonel Lu, let me do it."

Lu Rankong stopped, sighed, and said, "No need, K is my alpha, do you think I can recite it for you?"

"What, what?" the captain asked a little blankly.

At this moment, Lan Yu couldn't hold her breath anymore, raised her head and urged a little hastily: "It doesn't matter to me, you go and see the soldiers."

"As ordered..."

The captain obediently turned around and walked back, still thinking about Lu Rankong's words.Thinking about looking back, I just saw Lu Rankong lower his head, lightly bite the hand around his neck, and then smiled sideways and said something to the person on his back.

The team leader walked forward with one kick deep and one shallow kick, and returned to the team as if sleepwalking.The soldier next to him asked him how Colonel K was doing, and he just said there was no problem, and stared straight ahead in a daze.

Lu Rankong lifted Lan Yu up on his back and said, "Are you satisfied? Didn't tell your soldiers that you are afraid of bugs."

Lan Yu said, "I wasn't afraid at first, I just felt sick."

After speaking, he patted Lu Rankong on the shoulder again, "You step down lightly, don't step so loudly."

Now that they have entered the canyon, fortunately they walked through it once before, and now they are at the end of the team again. The ice thorn worms on the road have almost been trampled. After Lu Rankong's leather boots stepped on, the sound was fine rustling Voice.

"It doesn't make any noise, it only makes noise when it's about to come." Lu Rankong said.

As soon as the voice fell, he stepped on a good one and made a muffled sound.

Lan Yu's face went numb, and she hurriedly said, "Pay attention to your feet."

"it is good……"

"After we go back, let's wash our shoes downstairs in the dormitory before going upstairs."

"Um……"

Pounce, pounce.

While talking, there were two more connections.

Seeing that Lan Yu was silent again, Lu Rankong said quickly, "I didn't pay attention to the road when I was talking, and now I don't care even if a meteorite falls from the sky, I just concentrate on watching the road."

Lan Yu buried her face on his back, and suddenly said, "See if those bugs are out of ice?"

"how?"

"The voice has changed..." Lan Yu said.

"What has become?" Lu Rankong asked a little funny.

Lan Yu crawled on him and said, "It's like the sound of stepping on live insects."

After Lu Rankong stepped on another bug, he stopped and bent down to look at the icethorn bugs on the mountain wall.

He was surprised to find that the worms had really changed. Before, they were covered with a layer of ice and buried in it like amber. Now that the ice on their bodies was gone, the whole body of the worms was exposed and stuck to the mountain wall.

If you look closely, some bugs seem to be wriggling slightly.

"What did you see? Why didn't you move?" Lan Yu asked.

After observing for a few seconds, Lu Rankong murmured: "You may be right, these bugs are alive."

"Let's get out, let's get out!" Lan Yu said anxiously, "I just said that these bugs sound like live bugs exploding."

"Calm down, calm down, you're holding my neck." Lu Rankong coughed a few times.

Lan Yu continued to kick his legs, "Go, get out."

"Wait, wait, don't panic, these bugs haven't moved yet, they just woke up."

"They're going to be moving, going to be moving, and going to take off!"

"It can't fly, the ice thorn can only crawl." Lu Rankong comforted.

Lan Yu was not comforted by these words at all. Thinking of the bugs crawling everywhere, she felt numb all over her body.

"No, no..." Lu Rankong straightened up and muttered: "This situation is not right..."

"Go out first, and then think about it slowly." Lan Yu just wanted to leave this canyon quickly.

Lu Rankong didn't follow him this time, he just stood there and meditated.After a while, he suddenly said in the intercom: "Xiaozhu, Yuqin, you take people to the starship first, and I want to go back to the jump station."

Lin Zhu asked suspiciously: "What are you doing back to the Yuejiao Station? Did you forget to take something?"

"Is there something wrong with the transition station?" Chen Yutan asked.

Lan Yu was still kicking Lu Rankong to walk quickly, but after listening to these conversations, she suddenly stopped moving.

"It's nothing, I just have something to go back, and I'll be back soon."

"But the hurricane is coming soon." Lin Zhu said anxiously: "If you go back, you will encounter a hurricane."

"There is still a while, hurry up and have time, you go directly to the starship first."

After Lu Rankong finished speaking, he turned off the communication channel between the intercom and other people.

"There are ice thorns in a short section ahead. I'll carry you out, and you can go to the starship by yourself." Lu Rankong said while running towards the front.

"Then, you, what about you?" Lan Yu was so shocked that she was almost speechless.

"I want to go back to the transition station to have a look, and I always feel that something is wrong."

Sure enough, there was only a short distance ahead. After Lu Rankong ran over, he put Lan Yu down on the ground, turned around and ran back, and said loudly, "Don't delay, wait for me on the starship, and I will return after I see the situation."

He didn't have time to say more, he just ran forward, raised his hand and glanced at the terminal in his hand, there was still more than half an hour before the arrival of the hurricane, and it was too late.

After running out of the canyon, snowflakes floated in the air, and thick dark clouds had already piled up in the sky, pressing down very low on the top of the head and rolling.The outline of the icebergs in the sky could not be seen clearly, and the farthest point was blurred, where the wind was already blowing.

As soon as Lu Rankong ran for a while in the snow, he heard footsteps behind him.Before he had time to turn around, a figure brushed past him, and at the same time a familiar voice sounded: "Why don't you run faster?"

Lu Rankong was refreshed when he heard the voice. He was pleasantly surprised and then worried. He quickened his pace to catch up and asked loudly, "Why are you here?"

Lan Yu said without turning her head, "I'm afraid of bugs..."

"Didn't I already carry you to the area of ​​Chongzi?" Lu Rankong wiped off the snow flakes on his face with his hands, and said, "It's going to be windy soon, it's not safe, you go back quickly."

"I won't go back, I'm afraid of bugs." Lan Yu kept on stepping and replied.

"Then you came to my side just now and you are not afraid of bugs?" Lu Rankong asked.

Lan Yu didn't make a sound, Lu Rankong turned to look at him, saw that the face under Gehan's hood was a little pale, and felt distressed and annoyed at once.

"I am obviously afraid that I will catch up after this. Go back quickly. If you dare not go out of the canyon, you will wait for me at the mouth of the canyon. There is no wind there. I will carry you after watching the transition station." He said.

"What would you do if I was going to the transition station alone?" Lan Yu asked.

Lu Rankong was at a loss for words.

He would definitely not let Lan Yu go to the jump station alone.

Lan Yu turned her head to look at him with seriousness and persistence in her eyes, "If I go to the transition station alone, you won't worry about following me. Then if you go alone, can I rest assured?"

Lu Rankong couldn't speak anymore. After running in silence for a while, he reached out to hold his hand, but Lan Yu threw it away.

"You have to be clear about one thing. We used to be partners. Even if we became lovers, we are still partners." Lan Yu said: "If you are in danger and you want to go alone, it is actually a contempt for my ability."

After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, his face tensed.

Lu Rankong jumped over a small snow hill, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, it won't happen in the future."

"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly..." Lan Yu said deliberately.

"I'm sorry, it won't happen in the future." Lu Rankong shouted loudly, and stretched out his hand to him, "You are not only my lover, but also my strongest and most reliable companion."

Lan Yu passed her hand up this time.

"What do you find? Tell me now..." Lan Yu said.

Lu Rankong ran side by side with him, and said in his mouth: "I remember that I told you that these ice thorns used to only live underground. It was the transition point to the Qichu star that caused the atmosphere to change and formed a special substance. Climb up to the ground. As a result, the jump point was closed, and the icethorn worm died before it could return to the ground."

"Yes, you told me."

"In fact, they are not dead, or they are a kind of suspended animation for self-protection. When the conditions are right, they will come back to life." Lu Rankong said.

Lan Yu asked while running: "Your conditions are suitable, which means that there is that special substance in the air again?"

"Yes..." Lu Rankong affirmed.

"what do you mean……"

Lu Rankong stretched out his hand to pull Lan Yu across a snow ditch, and said in a deep voice, "I suspect that the jump point has been opened."
