With the addition of Dares and Mellor, the pressure from the school was greatly reduced.
After Hector and the little dragon took a half-hour break, they replaced the little mermaid and the little fox to rest. They took turns to rest, and with the help of the elite army, it took them nearly twelve hours to finally force the Zerg that surrounded the school back hundreds of meters. They transported a large number of shield generators from the arsenal to prop up the protective shield to protect the entire school.
With the protective shield, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The little dragon collapsed directly onto the ground, and the little fox sat down on his back. After a while, the little mermaid came over and fell on the little fox's big fluffy tail.
"I'm so hungry." The little dragon touched his empty belly.
The energy consumption in the past three days was really too great. The little dragon cub was only supported by a small amount of nutrients and energy supplements, and his stomach had protested countless times.
"I miss the food my dad made." The little fox shook the tip of his tail, narrowed his silver eyes, and couldn't help licking his lips.
The little mermaid listened to him while lying on her side, and then fell asleep in her fluffy tail in a daze.
Sleepiness is often contagious. After the little fox and the little dragon muttered to each other, they couldn't help but yawn. They leaned on each other and fell asleep in a daze.
The adults who were discussing the follow-up around them stopped and couldn't help but look at the cubs sleeping in a ball.
Hector squinted at Melil. He knew he might get scolded, but he couldn't help showing off: "Isn't my son cute?"
Melel still couldn't believe that he even had a son: "Although the baby dragon is indeed very cute, I really don't think you can raise such a cute cub."
She looked at the red fox that was pressing down on the little dragon cub. "And if I'm not mistaken, the other two are a hybrid of the nine-tailed fox clan, and the other is a mermaid clan." She exclaimed, "I've never seen the four nobles so united and friendly."
In every military meeting, there would always be criticisms between the two sides.
Although they are the four great nobles of the empire, when they quarrel and attack each other, they do not care about the elegance and manners of aristocrats.
"That's because you don't have much experience." Hector glanced at the Crown Prince who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, and said in his heart: Your Crown Prince and the cubs are also very "united and friendly". If you find out the truth, won't your eyes pop out
After a brief conversation, Dares and Mellor continued to lead the team to clear out the Zerg, while Rong Heng and others rested on the spot, waiting for the arsenal to send people to pick them up.
- After all, the school was not a place to stay for long. Before the insect tide receded, they had to transfer the cubs to a safe arsenal as soon as possible.
When the crisis on the ground was temporarily resolved, the cubs who had been staying in the basement also came out under the leadership of the master.
Ruan Jiaochongzi was the first one. When he saw the three cubs sleeping on the playground, he slowed down his hurried pace and the tentacles on his forehead drooped down in relaxation.
He walked around the sleeping cubs, examined them carefully, and made sure that none of them were injured before walking in front of Rong Heng.
Rong Heng sat on the ground leaning against the wall, with his long legs bent, his head lowered, and his eyes half closed.
His relatively neat clothes made him look not that disheveled, but Ruan Jiao could feel the fatigue emanating from him from the inside out, as well as the faint smell of blood.
He was injured.
He squatted down in front of Rong Hengman and tried to reach out to touch the other's forehead.
"What?" Rong Heng raised his eyelids to look at him, grabbed his hand, and chuckled: "I'm fine, you are not needed here."
He pushed the cub towards the other cubs and said in a hoarse voice, "Go play over there."
Ruan Jiao frowned, stared at him stubbornly with wide eyes, and refused to take his hand back.
Rong Heng looked at him for a moment, then loosened his hand and muttered, "Whatever you want."
Each and every one of these cubs is becoming more and more disobedient.
Ruan Jiao placed her hand on his forehead, and a gentle force slowly passed over. Rong Heng's tense body unconsciously relaxed and he slowly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, four or five hours had passed.
Rong Heng was awakened by the noisy sounds around him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a walker driving into the school.
The walker was stable, and a group of people rushed down from the landing ladder, shouting a name anxiously.
These should be the growth of the cubs.
The cubs whose names were called rushed to their parents and were hugged by their parents. The cubs had passed the time of fear and helplessness, and it was the parents who survived the disaster who were hugging their cubs, crying or sobbing.
Instead, the cubs were puzzled as to why they did not cry but their parents did.
The cub school was the center of the Zerg attack. There were no protective devices in the school and the cubs were very vulnerable. After encountering the Zerg tide, many parents had already prepared themselves mentally for the possibility of something happening to the cubs. When they learned that the cub school had not fallen and none of the cubs were missing, they could not wait to follow.
The person leading the team is Ruan Shiqing.
Once he was sure the situation was stable, he immediately drove the walker to pick up the cubs.
But when he looked left and right, he only saw Ruan Jiao and not the other three cubs.
"Where are He Li and the others?" Ruan Shiqing looked worried.
Ruan Jiao put his hands behind his back, blinked, and did not give any answer.
Ruan Shiqing:
Judging from Ruan Jiao's reaction, the cubs should be fine. He picked up the cubs and prepared to ask the teachers.
At this time, the three cubs were hiding nervously in a corner.
"Tell me what to do quickly?" The little fox urged, "Dad will be worried if he can't find us."
"Just do as I say." The little dragon cub had gained another experience after all, so he was very calm at this time: "Dad didn't see us either, so we just don't say anything." He muttered: "This doesn't count as lying."
The little mermaid looked hesitant.
—The cubs woke up after sleeping for four hours. Just ten minutes ago, the little dragon cub who got up to look for food heard his father's voice and subconsciously called the little fox and the little mermaid to hide.
After hiding, the three cubs looked at each other.
I don’t know why I’m hiding, but since I’m already hiding, let’s discuss what to do.
Hence the online conversation.
The little dragon cub was very determined to continue being his daddy’s baby, so he offered his own suggestion.
The little fox, whose body had shrunk, thought that if the little dragon cub could do it, then so could she. So she agreed with the little dragon cub's suggestion.
The little mermaid was hesitant. "What if dad finds out later? Will he be angry?"
He is really not just a kid who is good at lying.
Moreover, he looked at his own appearance. Although he had turned back into a mermaid, he was also bigger than before. How could he explain this to his father
The three cubs looked at each other in silence.
But before they could come up with a solution, Ruan Shiqing had already found the cubs' tracks. He picked up the little dragon cub and the little fox, lowered his head and asked, "What are you all doing hiding here?"
While the other cubs were waiting for their parents to recognize them, his cub was playing hide-and-seek with his parent.
“No… I didn’t do anything!” The little dragon cub was so scared that he stuttered, his eyes rolled around, and in a hurry he pointed at the little mermaid and said, “Senior Yuebai has grown up. Sorry, we are just comforting him!”
The little fox's ears perked up when he heard it, and he agreed, "Yes, he is shy."
Little Mermaid:
He looked at the cub who betrayed him in shock and slowly pursed his lips.
When Ruan Shiqing heard this, his attention was immediately diverted. He looked up and down at the little mermaid and gestured: "It has indeed grown a lot."
The body became longer, the face less childish and more youthful. The blue fish tail became longer and the originally light blue scales became darker, reflecting a beautiful glimmer.
"You've really grown up." Ruan Shiqing was surprised and happy, and rubbed the top of the kid's head: "Why did you do that at this time..."
He looked at the cub with his eyes downcast and asked, "Are there not enough carts?"
Little Mermaid: ...
His whole face turned red, and he bit his lip and nodded.
"It's okay. Dad will make another one for you when we get back." Ruan Shiqing put the cub down and picked up the little mermaid horizontally, calling the cubs to follow. He also comforted the little mermaid, "Growing up is a good thing. There is nothing to be shy about. But mermaids can transform into complete human forms. Maybe I should ask Lan Xin to teach you..."
The little mermaid who has learned to change her form: "..."
His face turned red and he buried his face in his father's arms in shame.
Thinking of the culprit who harmed him, he couldn't help but turn his head and glared at the little dragon ball and the little fox who were following him with a secretly complaining look.
The little cub that followed closely shrank its neck.
Only Ruan Jiao knew nothing and looked at them in confusion with his head tilted.
Ruan Shiqing returned to the playground and saw Rong Heng coming out. He took the initiative to greet him and expressed his gratitude to him: "Thanks to you this time, the cubs are safe."
To be honest, the cubs can't go out much this time.
But Rong Heng looked at Ruan Shiqing who seemed to be completely unaware, and then looked at the cub who looked vaguely guilty, and raised his eyebrows meaningfully.
It seems that this little cub is not that obedient.
He smiled and said, "We are already friends. There is no need to be so polite between friends. Protecting these cubs is just my duty."
"Then I won't be polite to you." Ruan Shiqing smiled brightly and sincerely: "When the insect tide recedes, I'll invite you to dinner."
Rong Heng naturally would not refuse.
After the small talk, Ruan Shiqing was about to take the cubs back to the arsenal. When he saw Rong Heng following him alone, he finally asked curiously, "Where's Snowball? Why isn't he with you?"
He has always been following Mr. Rong because of Snowball.
"..." The Crown Prince, who had completely forgotten about this, had a slightly stiff expression.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was much better at keeping calm in the face of danger than the cubs. He quickly put on a solemn expression and explained, "Snowball was accidentally injured. I have asked Dares to send him for treatment first."
"Injured? Is it serious?" Ruan Shiqing asked worriedly: "There is a treatment cabin in the repair shop. If necessary, I can move it to the arsenal."
"No need." Rong Heng said reluctantly, "There is a treatment cabin on the battleship. Dareth has already sent him there. He should be fine after sleeping for a day."
This explanation made sense, but Ruan Shiqing always felt that there was something strange and inexplicable.
He frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Fortunately, 09 on the armored walker had already poked his head out and called him, so he put his doubts aside for the time being, took the cubs onto the walker, and returned to the arsenal.
