"I didn't." Zhu Yuan said decisively.

"Neither do I." Zhou Li'er snorted and said.

"Forehead ......" Zhou Guangyuan was full of black lines in his head, and asked Zhou Li'er: "He is the second shopkeeper you often say." ”

"Yes, the second pervert." Zhou Li'er nodded affirmatively.

"What's his last name?" Zhou Guangyuan then asked.

"The surname is Zhu ......," Zhou Li'er replied, but immediately realized that something was wrong, and continued: "But he is a master crafter. ”

"At the same time, he is also a warrior, a member of the Thirteen Guards." Zhou Guang is far away.

"No way, how could he be so genius?" Zhou Li'er said in disbelief.

Zhu Yuan, who was listening on the side, became happy, and said in his heart, it's rare, let the girl look down on herself. No, has she been oppressed by her for a long time, and she can't straighten her waist anymore, she is the object of her high esteem.

"But he doesn't have the unfathomable strength, calmness, and experience you said from my brother." Zhou Li'er said in disbelief. At this time, Zhou Li'er, who had already realized the problem, felt that the hero image in her mind collapsed and was ready to make the last struggle.

Zhu Yuan, who was feeling his eyebrows raised, was unhappy when he heard it, and said: "Why am I not profound, why don't I be calm, isn't my experience old-fashioned?" ”

Li Gengmei, who was inexplicably looking at Zhou Li'er and Zhu Yuan's bickering, heard Zhu Yuan's three consecutive questions, and couldn't help muttering: "The image is a bit broken." ”

"Ahem......" Zhu Yuan, who was smug and felt that he had the upper hand, listened to Li Gengmei's muttering, coughed repeatedly, and said in his heart, how could he not be able to hold his breath when he touched this girl.

Zhou Guangyuan also felt that Zhu Yuan's image today was a bit collapsed, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Come on, eat first, and then talk about the rest after eating, try my sister's craftsmanship." ”

Quarrel and quarrel, Zhou Li'er's cooking skills are quite good, even Zhu Yuan, who often eats, is full of praise, the three of you have a chopstick, I have a chopstick, a gust of wind and clouds.

"It's so full, it's so full." After eating, Li Gengmei touched her belly and lay on her back.

"Li'er packed up and went back to pay attention to safety, I went to stand guard outside the door." Zhou Guangyuan stood up and said.

"Don't, brother, I haven't seen the scenery outside the city since I was born, let me go out and have a look." Zhou Li'er begged pitifully.

"No, it's dangerous outside the city." Zhou Guangyuan said with a straight face.

"Brother......" Zhou Li'er stretched out her voice and said coquettishly.

"Brother Zhou, since she has the team card, let her take a look outside the door, we won't be in danger if we take care of it." Li Gengmei said.

Zhou Guangyuan, who was ready to reprimand Zhou Li'er with a straight face, thought about it in his heart, and finally nodded.

"Great, thank you, brother." Zhou Li'er hugged Zhou Guangyuan and said happily.

Zhou Guangyuan didn't appreciate it, and still said with a straight face:

"When you get out of the Purification Gate, don't take off the team badge on your chest, you know?"

"Got it, brother, you've said it several times, this team of cards is a small purification door." Zhou Li'er replied, she hadn't forgotten Zhou Guangyuan's loving look when he just got the team card.

…………

Outside the purification gate of Xicheng, Zhou Li'er looked at the wasteland outside the city, the wilderness had a wide field of vision, sparse vegetation, and endless as far as the eye could see, overlapping the mountains in the distance, and disappearing at the end of sight.

"It's beautiful." Zhou Li'er opened her arms as if to embrace this wilderness.

"But what seems to be missing as I imagined?" After taking a deep breath in the fresh air of the wilderness, Zhou Li'er said.

"What's the downside?" Zhou Guangyuan and the others had long been accustomed to seeing the appearance of the wild, and they didn't feel any difference.

"yes, what's missing?" Zhou Li'er was also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that she has never seen the wasteland and doesn't know the scenery outside the city, but why does she feel that something is missing.

"The wasteland is too quiet for the lack of life." Zhu Yuan said with a solemn expression.

Ordinary people's Zhou Lian'er already feels that something is wrong, that is, something is really wrong. As a result, as soon as Zhu Yuan finished speaking, he heard Zhou Li'er shout in surprise:

"Look, there's a strange creature there, brother, what's that, a mutant beast?"

Zhou Guangyuan followed Zhou Li'er's finger and looked at it, in the distance in front of Xicheng, a creature poked out its head, this creature was like a cicada chrysalis, without limbs, but with a layer of hard carapace on its back, its upper body was poked up, and its round head poked in the direction of Xicheng.

As this cicada-like creature appeared, several other identical creatures appeared one after another. At this time, the third escort team of the pilot also discovered the appearance of these cicada pupae and began to approach the direction of the cicada pupa.

Zhou Guangyuan didn't know this cicada chrysalis, and was about to answer truthfully, only to hear Zhu Yuan exclaim:

"Force Beast Hatchlings!"

Zhu Yuan recognized those cicada chrysalis, they were not mutant beasts, but Force beast larvae. Because the Force is naturally conceived, Force Beast larvae are extremely rare and rare, because the Force Beast of the larvae is generally not born, but there is a Force Beast larvae that is special, the Force Beast hatchling born from the Mother of the Force Beast.

When each Force grows to its limit, it chooses two very different paths. One is to become a mother, and the mother Force beast disperses its expanding Force power by giving birth to a new Force beast, and then continues to grow until it grows to the limit again and gives birth again.

The Mother Force that grows in this way can increase its strength as a single entity, but the growth is limited. The strength of the newly born Force Beast juvenile is only about the peak of internal strength, and even after adulthood, it is only seventy or eighty percent of the strength of the mother, and this Force Beast is nicknamed the second generation of Force Beast. However, humans are more likely to call them the Force Mother Hive as a whole.

The Force Brood, even this newborn Force Brood, is not something that any of the Guardians of Heckor can fight on their own, not even the Pilot Guardian.

"Hurry up and inform the school that there's a Force Beast Nest ahead. Notify the 3rd Escort and quickly retreat. Zhu Yuan said urgently.

…………

In front of Xicheng, the captain of the third pilot escort team, Wu Yuanming, also did not recognize the appearance of the Force beast hatchlings.

"Captain, there are several cicada-shaped mutant beasts in front of you, blocking the way to the quarry." In the patrol car, the navigator Shangguan Ning said.

"Haha...... It seems that today's luck is good, these mutant beasts don't know what strength they have, but don't be too weak, otherwise the fight will be boring. In the patrol car, team member Li Binlian said.

"Let me come, Captain, it's my turn this time." Wang Xueming clenched his fists and said excitedly.

"Why bother, it's not over with a single Force bombardment." Lu Jiang, who was exercising, said.

"Don't, Lu Jiang, if you go down, it's all gone, and I'm still counting on harvesting some materials." Wang Xueming shouted.
