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

"One soldier in the first battalion was injured, four mechas were damaged, and there was no death." Lin Zhu first completed the count.

"Three mechas of the four battalion were damaged, and two soldiers were injured, but none died." Chen Yutan's voice.

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

"All go back to the dormitory area first to treat the wounded."

When everyone returned to the dormitory, the four battalion commanders followed at the end and walked back.

Chen Yutan sighed and said: "I thought there were no interstellar beasts, but the military department made a mistake, but it really happened."

"This is the spine beast, right? Why did they come to Wei Yaxing?" Lin Zhu asked curiously.

Lu Rankong groaned and said, "This kind of thorn beast grows on the companion star of Via, which is only a few hundred thousand kilometers away. Although the servant bird has no combat effectiveness, it has a special ability that can make 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 and see on Wei Ya."

"Then they will leave? If they don't, 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 jump station here, so we can't be negligent."

Lan Yu looked around while listening to them. When looking in a certain direction, he suddenly stopped and said, "We can leave tomorrow."

"Well, what?" Lu Rankong followed his gaze, and said: "Tomorrow we can leave, the thorn beast is returning to the companion star."

Not too far in front, a large group of crushed servant birds were flying straight to the sky, carrying the thorn beast.

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

Several people stopped and watched there, until there was nothing in the night sky, and then walked towards the dormitory.

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

Lin Zhu and Chen Yutan nodded, Lan Yu secretly relieved.

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

The military quickly returned the news that the interstellar beast had left Wei Yaxing and was now safe.

"Hold on, don't slacken, continue to take turns, 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 and opened his mouth to call Lan Yu: "Come in, it's warm inside."

"No, I will sleep by myself." Lan Yu refused his invitation and got into the sleeping bag next to him.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say that you want to sleep with me and be warm?"

Lan Yu turned over and said to him, "Warm is warm, but you don't make people sleep well."

Lu Rankong laughed, leaned his upper body to look at his face, and said, "I will put your arms around you and motionless."

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.

As expected, Lu Rankong did what he said, and only kissed him on his forehead, and said warmly: "Go to sleep, keep your spirits up, I won't bother you."

In silence, the lights slowly dimmed, Lan Yu yawned on Lu Yankong's chest, and asked: "Those thorn beasts were also unlucky. They were beaten inexplicably and died so many."

Lu Rankong said: "You don't have to sympathize with them. This kind of interstellar beasts is the most cruel. Loves to wander between the stars. Whenever they arrive on a planet, they will prey on the interstellar beasts almost before leaving. They are a group of hungry wolves. ."

"Then we count them as unlucky when we run into them, right?" Lan Yu asked.

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

"what's happenin?"

Lu Rankong spoke slowly, with a hint of confusion in his voice. "Actually, I don't know why the thorn beast came to Via, because there is no prey for them to prey 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 bed, it's not early, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."

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

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

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

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

Was it only seven?

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

Lan Yu suddenly felt that she was no longer dozing off.

"Why didn't you sleep anymore? Aren't you still sleepy just now?" Lu Rankong couldn't help asking when he saw his eyes suddenly refreshed.

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

"But didn't you know it was seven o'clock, didn't you all yawn?"

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

Lu Rankong pressed his head to his chest and said, "Listen to Brother Leopard's heartbeat, and once a little lamb, you count, count and fall asleep."

Lan Yu really listened to his heartbeat quietly. After listening for a while, Lu Rankong's very slight snoring sound came from above his head.

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

Lu Rankong's snoring stopped, and he asked sleepily, "Can't you sleep even if you count your heartbeats?"

"Can't sleep..."

After Lu Rankong asked this sentence, there was no answer, his nose was gentle and long, and he apparently fell asleep again in an instant.

Lan Yu opened her mouth annoyed and took a bite on his shoulder, and whispered, "Who told you to tell me the time? Who told you to tell me that it's only seven o'clock? Otherwise, I would have fallen asleep."

Lu Rankong was awakened again, laughed, but did not open his eyes, only raised his hand to pat his back gently.

The surrounding area was quiet, and the soldiers were sleeping. Lan Yu blinked to look ahead, her vision gradually dimmed, and she finally fell asleep slowly.

When Lan Yu woke up the next day, he found that the person beside him was no longer there, and the sound of the soldiers' footsteps 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 in and said, “I received the news ten minutes ago that a hurricane is coming. I just woke everyone up, ready to eat, and set off.”

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

Lu Rankong took it, unscrewed the lid and took a drink. He stretched out his finger to point Lan Yu and said, "I want to lie to me again. It obviously tastes like watermelon."

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

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

The team set off and went to the anchorage of the starship. Because the hurricane was approaching, everyone speeded up the process, and it didn't take long before they reached the canyon full of ice spines.

Lan Yu paused hesitantly. His scalp began to tingle when he thought of the dense dark red spots, the bumpy touch under his feet, and the cracking sound of ice cracking when he was stepped on.

Lu Rankong stood with him at the mouth of the valley, looked into the canyon, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think the thorn beast is terrible or the ice thorn worm? 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 another fight with the thorn beast."

A soldier in the third battalion walked and glanced back. Just turned around, and couldn't help but look back again.

"What do you look at? Don't walk well..." said the soldier behind him.

The soldier said, "It's okay, I might be dazzled."

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

"What the **** is going on with you, keep looking back?" The soldier behind also turned his head and followed his gaze, and then stopped talking.

"I am not wrong, right?"

"That's right..."

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

"Why is Dad carrying black heart K on his back?"

"Colon K still buried his head on his shoulders. Isn't he uncomfortable in his body?"

"When did they have such a good relationship?"

Their discussion became louder and louder, attracting the attention of the second battalion soldiers on the side. A small team leader discovered this situation first and hurriedly left the team and ran back.

"Colonel K, are you feeling unwell?" The team leader ran to Lu Rankong and stood still in front of Lu Rankong, panting.

Lu Rankong said, "He has a pain in his stomach. After he walks out of this canyon, he will get better with the treatment device."

Lan Yu buried her entire face on Lu Rankong's back, shook her head when she heard the words, and then nodded again without saying a word.

Seeing that he was still reacting, the team leader heaved a sigh of relief, then watched Lu Rankong watchfully, and said, "Thank you Colonel Lu, let me carry 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 a contradiction with K, so he was really worried, and bit the bullet and insisted: "Captain Land, just let me come."

Lu Rankong stopped, sighed, and said, "It's really not necessary. K is my alpha. Can you tell me that I can memorize it for you?"

"Wh, what?" the team leader asked dazedly.

Lan Yu couldn't hold his breath anymore. He raised his head and urged a little hastily: "It doesn't matter to me, you go and watch the soldiers."

"Yes..."

The team leader turned around obediently and walked back, still pondering Lu Rankong's words. Thinking about looking back, I just saw Lu Rankong lower his head, lightly bit the hand that was holding his neck, and smiled sideways and said something to the person on his back.

The squad leader walked forward with one foot shallow and one foot, returning to the team like a sleepwalker. The soldier next to him asked him how Colonel K was doing. He only said that there was no problem, and then looked straight ahead.

Lu Rankong put Lan Yu on his back and said, "Is it satisfied? I didn't tell your soldiers that you are afraid of bugs."

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

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

Now they have entered the gorge. Fortunately, they have walked before, and now they are at the back of the team. The ice thorn worms on the road have been almost trampled on. After Lu Rankong’s leather boots stepped on, the sound was fine rustling. sound.

"This movement is silent, and it's creaking when it's about to come." Lu Rankong said.

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

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

"it is good……"

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

"Ok……"

Pounce, pounce.

While talking, there are two connections.

Seeing that Lan Yu was silent again, Lu Rankong said quickly, "I didn't pay attention to the road when I was speaking. Now I don't care about the meteorite falling in the sky, I just concentrate on watching the road."

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

"how?"

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

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

Lan Yu crawled on him and said, "It's like the sound of a living bug."

After Lu Rankong stepped on another insect, he stopped and bent down to look at the ice thorn insects on the mountain wall.

He was surprised to find that the worms had changed. They were all wrapped in a layer of ice and buried in it like amber. Now that the ice on his body is gone, the entire body of the worm is exposed and stuck to the mountain wall.

On closer inspection, some bugs seemed to be wriggling slightly.

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

Lu Rankong observed for a few more seconds before 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 insects are like the sound of live insects bursting into pulp."

"Calm down, calm down, you have stuck my neck." Lu Rankong coughed a few times.

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

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

"They will move right away, they will move right away, and they have to take off!"

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

Lan Yu was not comforted by these words at all, thinking about the crawling insects, only felt that his whole body was numb.

"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 the canyon quickly.

Lu Rankong didn't follow him this time, just stood still and meditated. After a while, he suddenly said in the intercom: "Xiaozhu, Yutan, you take someone to the starship first, and I want to go back to Yueqian Station."

Lin Zhu asked suspiciously, "What are you doing back to Yueqian Station? What did you forget?"

"Is there something wrong with Yueqian Station?" Chen Yutan asked.

Lan Yu originally kicked Lu Rankong and walked quickly, listening to these conversations, suddenly stopped moving.

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

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

"There's still a while, if you have time to run faster, you will directly board the starship first."

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

"There is only a short section of ice thorn worms ahead, I will carry you out, and you will go to the starship by yourself." Lu Rankong said as he ran forward.

"Then, you, how about you?" Lan Yu was almost speechless.

"I want to go back to Yueqian Station to see, I always feel something is wrong."

There was really only a short section ahead. After Lu Rankong ran over, he put Lan Yu down on the ground, turned and ran back, saying loudly, "Don't delay, wait for me on the starship, I will see the situation and return."

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

After running out of the gorge, snowflakes floated in the sky, and thick dark clouds had already accumulated in the sky, rolling very low on the top of the head. The outline of the iceberg in the sky cannot be seen clearly, and the extreme view is blurred, where the wind is already blowing.

Lu Rankong just ran out of the snow when he heard footsteps behind him. Before he could turn his head, a figure passed by, and at the same time a familiar voice sounded: "Don't run faster?"

Lu Rankong's spirits lifted up when he heard the voice, he was surprised at first and then worried. He speeded up his pace to catch up and asked loudly, "Why are you here?"

Lan Yu said without looking sideways: "I'm afraid of bugs..."

"Didn't you already carry the bugs on your back?" Lu Rankong wiped the snow flakes off his face with his hands, and said, "It's going to be windy soon. It's not safe. Go back."

"I won't go back, I'm afraid of bugs." Lan Yu kept under her feet, replying in her mouth.

"Then you ran to me just now and weren't afraid of bugs?" Lu Rankong asked.

Lan Yu didn't make a sound. Lu Rankong turned his head to look at him, and saw that the face under the cold hood was a little pale, and he was distressed and annoyed.

"I'm obviously afraid that I will catch up with you. Go back quickly. If you don't dare to go out of the canyon, wait for me at the opening. There is no wind there. I will go and carry you after watching the Yueqian Station."

"If I were going to the jump station alone, what would you do?" Lan Yu asked.

Lu Rankong was speechless.

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

Lan Yu turned to look at him, with serious and persistent eyes, "If I go to the jump station alone, you will definitely not worry about following. Then if you go alone, can I be relieved?"

Lu Rankong couldn't speak anymore, and after running in silence for a while, he reached out to pull his hand, and was thrown away by Lan Yu.

"You have to figure out one thing. We used to be companions. Even if we become lovers, we are still companions." Lan Yu said, "If you want to be alone in danger, it is actually a contempt for my ability."

When he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, his face tense.

Lu Rankong jumped over a small snow hill, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it won't be anymore."

"What are you talking about? I can't hear..." Lan Yu deliberately said.

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

Lan Yu handed it up this time.

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

Lu Rankong ran side by side with him, and replied: "Remember that I told you that these ice thorn insects only lived underground before. The transition point to Qichu Star caused the atmosphere to change and form special substances. Climbed to the ground. As a result, the jump point was closed, and the ice thorn worm died before it could return to the ground."

"Yes, you told me."

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

Lan Yu asked as he ran, "Your conditions are right, meaning that there is that special substance in the air again?"

"Yes..." Lu Rankong affirmed.

"what do you mean……"

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