May you be happy and prosperous

Lu Twelve was taken aback.

He always felt as if Shabak's words seemed to be making some kind of promise - about the past and about the future.

Lu Twelve still doesn't know how it came to be, but he still has a fresh memory of the past—scenes seem to be movies that have just been played in front of his eyes, or absurd nightmares that he only dreamed of last night—as an ordinary A common citizen, before the apocalypse that almost became the end of the world, he has been living a simple life of "eating and sleeping, waking up, thinking how to make money and eating, earning enough money and eating and then sleeping" ...

Until the Valtterans fell from the sky.

For Lu Twelve, apart from the ruins of buildings on both sides of the street, the damaged streets, and the crowds fleeing in panic on the streets, nothing left the deepest impression on Lu Twelve than when he was about to leave the commercial area and go to the military protection area. When reuniting with family and friends, the Valtrun battleship suddenly fell from the sky, and the Vatrun star chased him after him and bit his butt, and blasted him to 500 years later with the last high-energy cannon.

Every night, Lu Twelve can occasionally dream of the scene when it smashed through the glass of the shopping mall and fell close to him in his nightmares. In the dream, the huge tiger-shaped Vatlun star trembled. The "cracking" sound made by his thick fur shaking off the glass shards seemed very real.

Thinking back now, Lu Twelve still felt terrified—he felt that he might never forget that moment, the fear of being stepped on by the huge claws and watching the bloody mouth open on the top of his head.

At this time, Lu Twelve moved his lips, and said to Shabak who was frowning at him at this time: "...I think you are avoiding the important things, do you know that 500 years ago, the people of the Vatlun star on the earth— —”

Before the black-haired young man could finish speaking, he was mercilessly interrupted by Shabak. The tall awakened phantom touched his chin, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Lu Shier, have you ever heard a sentence? That's what it said..."

Lu Twelve: "What?"

Sabak: "The reason why people's eyes grow on the face is to let you look forward."

Lu Twelve: "...what the hell?"

Shabak: "Don't dwell on the past and look to the bright future, isn't it good? No matter what the origin of the Eudemons is, now you, as a person on earth, stand on the earth completely when your home planet belongs to humans. Talking to me on other planets where I belong, doesn't that seem like a good ending in itself?"

Lu Twelve: "...that's what I said without saying anything."

Sabak raised his eyebrows: "Maybe some things are not exactly what you see. Have you ever thought that if Eudemons are really just some alien invaders who are sleeping underground, waiting for humans to excavate them and make a comeback? If they come fully armed and cannot win, then hundreds of years later, maybe they will have no chance of winning."

Although it is true to say so, but... Lu Twelve paused for a while, and seemed to be quite concerned and said: "But there are some phantom beasts with secondary illnesses who are still thinking about our... home planet—this It's a strange statement."

"So we're going to stop him from thinking about it," Sabak said. "What's the problem?"

"..."

no problem.

Lu Twelve thought for a while, then shook his head. Sabak let out a long breath, and carefully picked up Fa Cai. You can see Fa Cai's big, fluffy tail lazily flicking away—it's completely a look that has nothing to do with it.

It was as if what Lu Shier and Sabak were arguing just now was not about Eudemons.

...Of course, the possibility that Brother Cai doesn't regard himself as a phantom beast at all cannot be ruled out.

Next, a group of people were going back to the rescue station to prepare for the next day's trip to the mine. On the way, Lu Twelve was unusually silent, and kept silent until they returned to the rescue station in a rail car, and got off the car. As if he had just realized it, he grabbed Sabak who was walking in front, and said with a serious face: "I thought about it, and I still think that you were sophistry just now."

"..." Sabak was silent for a moment, and slapped away the black-haired young man's claws on his arm, "Although I know you seem to want to continue to struggle with this issue, it's a pity that I don't know much. If you find Ye Luo If you stop, maybe we will get some answers you want."

Lu Twelve: "... what?"

"Before that, at least I can guarantee that the lord is worthy of your trust, and I follow the lord's position." Sabak stuffed the 40-jin "young Eudemons" into the black-haired young man When the latter quickly embraced the black-haired young man's neck with his furry paws and hung himself on him, Shabak said to the black-haired young man who was carrying a heavy fortune with a dazed expression, "Goodbye."

Lu Twelve: "..."

He stared at Sabak's lazily leaving back for a while, until he passed a young man with a peaked cap on his head. The black-haired young man turned around and grabbed JAY who passed by him, and said angrily : "Look at your boyfriend!"

JAY took Lu Twelve's paws off his body, and said calmly, "Oh, I just broke up with him."

Lu Twelve: "..."

Looking at the figures of his teammates leaving ruthlessly, Lu Twelve stood there in a daze for a while, until a Phantom Beast staff behind him reminded him not to block the door, he just came back to his senses, looked down at Looking at Fa Cai hanging on his body at this moment, the latter's furry face is close at hand, staring at him at this moment with a pair of round golden pupils - Fa Cai's face is close at hand The face, for some reason, suddenly reminded Lu Twelve of the giant tiger alien that broke in through the window in the department store 500 years ago and stomped him like a bug...

Fa Cai: "Meow!"

Lu Twelve: "..."

Too bad tigers don't meow.

With a headache, he freed up one hand and rubbed his temples. Lu Twelve felt that he might be too suspicious--persecution paranoia or something, even Brother Cai was suspicious.

……

The next day, in the morning, Gamma A star time 6:00AM.

"Toxic gas filter mask, elastic rope, iron hook, safety helmet, light energy flashlight, wolf's eye lamp under the mine, folding shovel... Brother Cai, have you put the hemostatic bandage and strong hemostatic agent in?"

In a single room of about [-] square meters, Lu Twelve had already started his work today.

Three basic toolboxes worth ten gold coins were lined up in front of them, while the young black-haired young man who was the nanny of the team was standing by the bed with his buttocks pouted, carefully inspecting the preparations of his teammates, and going down to the mine. After counting the tools needed, they arranged them neatly——At this time, a group of fluffy things jumped onto the bed from the ground, and now there is a pack of hemostatic bandages in its mouth, which is the size of a little tiger. Lu Twelve took the hemostatic bandage and stuffed it into the box without looking up. At the same time, he said without looking up: "There is also a strong hemostatic spray."

Fa Cai turned his head and jumped out of the bed, his short short legs jumped onto the table behind Lu Twelve with extraordinary flexibility - the powerful hemostatic spray was placed on a slightly higher shelf, Fa Cai looked up for a while, Then he tiptoed his paws around the table twice back and forth, and then stopped after a while, stretching out his paws to reach the bottle of hemostatic spray——

Just when its little paw was about to touch the hemostatic spray, it heard the voice of a black-haired young man who was about to change his clothes from afar: "Brother Cai, do you want to appear in the form of a phantom beast today or not?" A human form appears?"

The phantom squatting on the table was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at the black-haired young man not far away who was taking off his pajamas. A moment later, a burst of dazzling light flashed, replacing the hairy phantom with short legs. At this time, standing by the table is a tall, slender blond man, his hair is still slightly moist after taking a bath, the morning sun shines in from the window, and the golden soft hair on his head is still slightly wet. A faint halo shrouded the edges.

The man stretched out his long arms and grasped the powerful hemostatic agent that was on the shelf that only reached his lower abdomen at this time. When passing by the bed, he threw the hemostatic agent into the open toolbox——

Taking two more steps with his long legs, he stopped behind the person who was changing clothes by the closet, and the shadow cast by his tall figure enveloped the black-haired young man in front of him.

Lu Twelve quickly pulled up his half-dressed clothes, and turned around inexplicably: "What are you doing?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole person was pressed against the closet. Then, there was a soft and slightly cold touch on his lips. Lu Twelve was slightly taken aback, and was about to reach out to push Fa Cai away. However, at this time, the other party seemed to have expected his intentions, and wrapped his strong arms around his waist at the same time, so before he had time to make any resistance, Lu Twelve was almost forced to stick to the oppressive body. On top of the blond man's strong chest, through a thin T-shirt, he could even feel the strong beating of the other's heart under the chest.

The man seemed to have mastered the kissing technique thoroughly, and the nimble tongue drove straight into the attacking area. After a while, the whole room could only hear the heavy breathing of the two people who gradually became unstable and the sound of water that made people blush——

"Wait, uh..."

When the man on Lu Twelve was finally willing to let him go, if it wasn't for the arm wrapped around his waist for support, Lu Twelve suspected that he might have knelt down in such an embarrassing manner—at least 500 years ago, the closest contact Lu Twelve had with anyone other than his parents was when he was in elementary school and crossed the road hand in hand with his female classmates...

Kissing is such an exciting thing, I can't even think about it.

But Fa Cai obviously didn't think so, and he didn't know which dimension of education he was receiving. After a fiery kiss at the moment, it seemed that Lu Twelve was the only one who seemed particularly restless. Instead, he stretched out his hand very calmly, and with his thumb wiped away the saliva from the corners of the lips of the black-haired young man in his embrace before he could swallow it, and then let him go.

Lu Twelve: "..."

Getting rich... seems to be just expressing my happy emotions.

Because, can you go to find Ye Luosha?Get your power back?

Ahhh, brother Cai really cares about this matter, what did I do to ask him this and that before!

Under the dazed gaze of the young black-haired young man, the man withdrew and left, went straight to the bed and picked up the three prepared toolboxes, and the ones containing food, dry food and nutrition on the chair that were left empty. He picked up the backpack of liquid and other sundries, hooked the door open with his foot, walked out, and looked at Lu Twelve curiously, as if wondering why he didn't follow.

Lu Twelve blinked, and hurriedly squeezed out the word "wait" from between his teeth, then rushed to the bathroom to wash his face, and slightly lowered the fiery temperature on his face, and then hurriedly Walked out behind the man's ass——

At this time, other people in the team were already waiting in the hall.

Including Lu Twelve, the soy-sauce nanny, the whole team has five people, of which only JAY brought the Eudemons A boy, plus Fa Cai, Sabak, and Byron are all above the average height. Existence, when a group of them get together, it is difficult not to attract attention.

JAY and Sabak saw Fa Cai appearing in the human form with large bags and small bags, but they were slightly taken aback but didn't say much, but Byron seemed to raise his eyebrows in surprise, and then Lu Twelve remembered that Byron was very concerned about Fa Cai. I didn't know anything about it, so I waved my hand and said, "Fat Cai is a little uncomfortable today. I let him rest in the room by himself. My brother is worried about me, so he decided to act together with us and help us lay down white jobs together." .”

Byron gave a meaningful "oh", nodded and said, "Yes, it just so happens that 'your brother' is quite strong."

The silver-haired young man seemed to deliberately emphasize the word "brother" with a half-smile, which attracted Fa Cai's unhappy glance.

At this time, the rail car had arrived at the platform, and Lu Twelve and his group got on the car. After an hour's drive, they arrived at the F area of ​​the mission area. It seems that the normal vitality has been restored, so there are many Phantom Beast staff who get off at this station and prepare to do tasks, many of which are Phantom Beast staff from other area rescue stations, so when Lu Twelve and his group got off the bus, We received a lot of side glances.

In the eyes of those who don't know the truth, it seems that there are four military personnel in their team.

When Lu Twelve got out of the car and packed his backpack, a Phantom Beast worker cautiously approached him and asked, "Excuse me, are you from the rescue station in District [-]?"

Lu Twelve was taken aback, and subconsciously nodded as if he couldn't react. Before he could ask what this person meant, he ran back to his companion with some excitement, and whispered That voice said: "That's right, they are right, have you seen that blond-haired man, the one who is said to have beaten up the clown? What a pity, District [-] has so much drama to watch, I knew it would be late You can live there in two days!"

Lu Twelve: "..."

At this point, Lu Shier knew that they were already very famous in Gamma A star.

Thankfully, though, the guy was talking about "the one who beat the clown up" and not "the one who looked stupid on the news", which is really comforting.

I received a lot of side glances along the way. After passing the last supply point of the station in the F mission area, the crowd dispersed, and the gazes sweeping around me finally became less, and then went to the depths of the mission area to snatch After walking two steps and out of sight of the Phantom Beast staff who were performing peripheral tasks, Lu Twelve heaved a sigh of relief and felt the pleasure of breathing freely.

"It's so worthless," JAY laughed at him, "No wonder he acted so dumb when he was surrounded by those reporters."

At this point they had reached the entrance of the mine.

Lu Twelve and the others are familiar with this place, because the first task they took over was completed here - at this time, at the entrance of the mining area in Area F, the corpses of gamma nematodes seem to have been cleaned up by the official staff , only the scorched traces of the gamma nematode corrosion liquid left on the ground silently indicate that they once existed.

Lu Twelve and the others put on their safety helmets, turned on the flashlight and walked in. At this time, there were still pits and pits left on the mine wall after being neutralized with alkaline solution. Lu Twelve took a photo with the flashlight. When walking about 300 meters inward, a rail dedicated to ore collection vehicles was found on the ground.

At this time, they could no longer see the natural light coming in from the entrance of the cave, and the flashlight in their hands became the only light source.

The entire mine tunnel can accommodate about three people walking side by side. It is very wide, but not high. Fa Cai and Byron have to bend slightly to avoid bumping into each other—Lu Twelve walked just right, without the feeling of oppression in a confined space. , It’s just that the surroundings are a little quiet and scary. At this moment, if no one speaks, the only thing that can be heard around is their breathing, and the small sound of small stones rolling on the bottom of the shoes when walking.

"This is the main mine." JAY looked down at the electronic map in his hand and said, "There is still a long way to go to the place where the No.13 research team had an accident, and we will arrive in about an hour—— Damn, it's a bit cold in here, I should have worn an extra coat."

As soon as JAY finished speaking, Sabak, who was behind him, pulled out a coat from the backpack behind him, and threw it in his face expressionlessly——Amid Lu Twelve's sneer, JAY frantically threw the coat Pull off the clothes and put them on: "Thank you."

Sabak didn't speak, but Lu Twelve said beside him: "You're welcome, your boyfriend should do it."

As soon as the words fell, JAY kicked him on the calf.

Because the muscles in the calf were tense during walking, and the temperature in the mine seemed to be a bit low, so he was kicked suddenly, and the numbness and pain immediately spread from Lu Twelve's calf. Twelve gasped, turned his head abruptly, and glared at JAY. The latter had excellent acting skills, and his face was full of bewilderment: "Look at the egg?"

"What are you doing kicking so hard? I don't know if it hurts to kick in the cold!" the black-haired young man grumbled and complained.

"Who kicked you!" JAY raised his eyebrows, and then, as if to prove his innocence, he also turned on his own flashlight to take a picture, and at the same time stretched his legs and kicked in the air, " Did you see, I’m so far away from you, how can I kick——do you think I have long legs?”

Lu Twelve turned his head to look, but he was stunned: JAY and him did not move just now, and within the distance that Jay was standing at this time, he could only kick about half a meter behind Lu Twelve at most. Getting rich——At this moment, the man seemed to have figured out what was wrong. He stretched out his long arm and snatched the flashlight in JAY's hand, and shone it on Lu Twelve's calf that was attacked——

This photo didn't matter, everyone was taken aback by what they saw under the lights.

When Lu Twelve came here, he was wearing ordinary loose jeans. This kind of pants is strong and because they are loose, they are more convenient for climbing and other activities. At this moment, the "sturdy" pants have been hung out at the calf. There were countless scratches densely packed, and from the scratches on the jeans, one could still vaguely see blood dripping out of Lu Twelve's scratched calf wound.

There is such a phenomenon that when the human body is injured, before the injured person himself is aware of his injury, he may feel a little pain at most, but when he finally notices that he is injured and sees the blood flow like When the wound was injected, at that moment, he would feel that he was about to pass out from the pain.

For example, Lu Twelve now.

When Lu Twelfth saw that the blood he bleed almost stained the calf of the light-colored jeans into red, cold sweat broke out in an instant, and the sweat soaked his T-shirt in an instant. The wind blew past, and it was chilly, and there were bursts of severe pain in the injured leg, and the whole leg seemed to be numb.

When Lu Twelve was picked up by Fa Cai and sat down beside the raised rails beside the mine, Sabak took a picture of the bottom of the mine with Jay's flashlight. As expected, he was on the walls on both sides after a while I found a dark black hole that could probably accommodate a small dog in and out, but the wolf-eye mine lamp with a lighting range of about 800 meters was turned on to shine in, but it seemed to be bottomless—the creature that attacked Lu Twelve just now probably It just emerged from somewhere, and after the attack, it hid in this hole again.

It moves very fast, and seems to be quite familiar with the structure of the entire mine tunnel.

"This dog hole is very deep."

Sabak said in a mocking voice, then stood up, circled around, and under the inexplicable eyes of the people around him, raised his foot and kicked a certain wall around him - at this time, only a burst of gravel was heard There was a sound of falling, and then, under Shabak's feet, another cave entrance that was exactly the same as the previous "dog cave" appeared!

But Sabak didn't stop, and after kicking around for a while, he accurately found more than a dozen such black holes as entrances or exits.

"The soil covering the hole is very loose, it's probably just a temporary camouflage - only land combat Eudemons have the habit of digging holes like this, and it should be a group, not just one."

While talking, Sabak turned around and looked at Lu Twelfth who was sitting on the big rock and the blond man in front of him - at this moment, the man squatted down and carefully observed the wound of the black-haired young man, He tore his jeans easily, and the blood that had been clotted was pulled away along with the torn clothes. The man's rough movement caused the black-haired young man to cry out in pain, and he grabbed the flashlight at hand and aimed it at his head Knock it down—the man whose head was hit didn't even frown, just grabbed his leg and turned over to look at the wound.

Sabak couldn't bear to look straight away and twisted his face away.

At this time, JAY and Byron also leaned over to check on Lu Twelve's wound, and after spraying a little painkiller spray, the latter was grabbing a hemostatic bandage and wrapping it around his leg. JAY pondered for a moment: " If you look closely, the wound is densely packed with small blood spots, it doesn't look like a scratch—"

"What do you mean?" Lu Twelve wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, raised his head and glanced at him, "You mean, I was attacked by a phantom beast that looks like a hedgehog?"

"And it's a hedgehog whose entire back is metalized." Byron twitched his lips and added sarcastically.

Sabak ignored them, at this moment he was reaching out to dig out the hole that appeared first, JAY turned around and looked at Sabak: "What's there to dig out, the cave is so deep, how long is your arm to— —”

As soon as JAY finished speaking, he suddenly saw the entire screen of the electronic map in his hands blurred for a moment.

He froze for a moment, looked at Shabak, and after a while seemed to realize what this guy had done, he opened his mouth wide and said, "We will be blind without a map, Master Shabak, take it easy."

Sabak ignored him, retracted his arms and waited patiently for a while. What was shocking was that after a while, there was a rustling sound from the depths of the mine, and then, in the astonishment of everyone, In his eyes, a small black shadow quickly jumped out from the black hole that Shabak took out before!

Lu Twelve reacted quickly and grabbed the flashlight that he had used to beat Fa Cai before, and turned on the flashlight to take a picture, only to see a reckless little black figure running back and forth on the rails of the mine tunnel. , when the light shines through, you can freshly see the small cactus-like metal needles standing up on its back——

It seemed to bump into the railway track in a daze, and the whole railway track made a "bang" when it hit it. It took two steps back, and then it seemed to have found an escape route, aiming at the wall on the other side of the mine tunnel. Another black hole that Sabak pulled out—but just as it was running towards the hole, above it, Sabak had already pulled out a big knife on his back with a blank expression—

"Wait." Lu Twelve stopped him, "Don't kill it."

Sabak glanced at Lu Twelve, and still raised and lowered the knife, but he used the back of the knife—there was only a loud "clang" sound of metal colliding with metal, and the little boy scurrying around on the rails The figure paused suddenly, and accompanied by two calls from "Slag", the little thing was knocked unconscious on the rails.

Sabak put away the big knife, bent down to pick up the knocked out little animal, and threw it to Lu Twelve and the others——

Seeing the thing with burrs all over his body flying towards him, Lu Twelve let out a "wow", and was scrambling to figure out which part of his body to pick it up, but before the thing hit him, he stood still. Fa Cai, who treated his wound in front of him, seemed to have eyes on his back, stretched out his big hand, and firmly caught the land combat phantom with metal thorns all over its back.

Carrying it in his hand, he looked curiously, and a surprised look flashed in his golden pupils, but the man didn't make any other expressions, and calmly handed the heavy thing in his hand to the black man. hair in the hands of the young man.

JAY: "Why are there hedgehogs in this kind of place?"

Byron: "The bees don't live in the mine tunnels, and the gamma nematodes also appeared, what a fuss."

Sabak: "This ground-type phantom beast has a high degree of metallization. My lord, it is in the same state as those gamma nematodes. I think this is also one of the masterpieces of the 'Queen Bee'. It makes sense to think so. , a mine tunnel, let flying-type phantom beasts and land-type phantom beasts pinch up and down and guard at the same time—”

As soon as Sabak finished speaking, he heard a confused murmur from a black-haired young man not far away.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Lu Twelve, but at this moment, they saw the latter raised his head, his black pupils flickering under the light of the flashlight: "But, the 'Queen Bee' shouldn't be free to give to her miscellaneous soldiers." How about a name?"

While talking, he turned over the phantom beast in his hand, and pinched a piece of metal hanging around its neck—it turned out to be a phantom beast nameplate engraved with the name of the phantom beast and the name of its owner.
