Chapter 141: 146|November 15th

Xiao Mo didn't sleep well for most of the night, thinking about things over and over again, until Xue Lihong couldn't bear it anymore and used her body to suppress him, forcing him to fall asleep from exhaustion, and then he got a peaceful sleep for the rest of the night.

Early the next morning, the two came out of the aircraft. The potholes from last night had been filled up again with snow.

Xiao Mo stood silently near the pothole for a while, praying for these people and preparing himself mentally.

People say people are timid when they are close to home, and he felt the same way now. The more he wanted to know about his family and friends, the more he was afraid of knowing. To put it bluntly, he was just afraid of seeing and hearing the same bad news.

"The situation will not be like that. You forgot, they have a base vehicle." Xue Lihong came over and said.

"But the electricity inside can't be used... Forget it, let's not talk about it." Xiao Mo took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."

Xue Lihong said it lightly, but under the influence of Xiao Mo, he had some feelings for Zhongshan Base. It was impossible to say that he was not worried about the situation of the base and team members at all.

But Xue Lihong is the kind of person who gets calmer the more nervous he is. He even deliberately increased the number of breaks that day to ensure that he still has enough physical strength to cope with anything when he returns to the base.

Xiao Mo made a decision in his heart, and his whole body seemed to have calmed down. The anxiety and uneasiness of last night were no longer there.

The Zhongshan base occupies a vast area, and the city walls are very tall. Although it was damaged by a big storm, the main body still remains. At least the general shape of the base can be seen from a distance, and it does not look like some small bases passing by on the way. The whole thing disappeared under the heavy snow cover.

He couldn't see clearly in the wind and snow. Seeing that the base was about to arrive, Xue Lihong was preparing to find a high place to land - the situation was unknown. He couldn't just fly into the base with Xiao Mo, so he had to observe it first.

"boom!"

"Bah bang bang!"

The sound of bombs and machine guns reached their ears.

Snowflakes blocked Xue Lihong's sight, but she could still see some clues from mid-air.

"What happened?" Xiao Mo motioned to Xue Lihong to put him down quickly.

Xue Lihong stopped in mid-air and watched for a while, then found a high ground and flew over.

Just for a moment, the sounds of machine guns and bombs became more intense, and occasionally people shouted.

Xiao Mo was refreshed. There were gunshots and human voices, indicating that the base defense line was still there. If the base defense line was still there, then the situation in the base would not be unbearable.

Although this intensive gunfire also means that the base is in great danger, the danger can always be solved, which is better than deathly silence.

"It seems that someone is attacking the base." Xue Lihong took out the telescope from her backpack. His backpack is also a strange object. It can be stored in his body when he turns into a bug, and becomes a backpack when he turns into a human body.

Xiao Mo suspected that the backpack was probably an organ in Xiaohong's body responsible for holding things, similar to a cow's stomach? But this was not the time to ask about this. He put away the duvet and quickly took out a telescope to look in the direction of the base.

"What the hell is that? A man-eating troll?" Xiao Mo blurted out after seeing clearly the monster attacking the Zhongshan base.

The cannibal troll is a legendary giant who uses thick bone clubs, chain hammers, and axes as weapons. He likes to eat people. He has one eye, a bald head, a foul smell, and thick skin. He combines offense and defense.

The huge monster that is attacking the Zhongshan base is very similar to the legendary cannibal troll except that it does not have one eye and has thick, thick purple-black hair.

No, there is something wrong. The attack power and defense power of the ogre are not on the same level as this troll. This troll has almost reached the level of the legendary Titans.

It can really punch a big hole in the hard city wall with one kick, and flatten the fort with one fist. Bullets hitting it will not pose much of a threat. Only cannonballs will make it dodge and roar.

"Goo!" The monster's roar was strange, like a scream amplified countless times.

"Are those Yun Kai and Wang Cheng?!" Xiao Mo exclaimed in surprise when he saw an acquaintance on the city wall.

Qian Yunkai's attacks were as obvious as laser eyes. Wang Chengcheng stood beside him, both for protection and for cooperation.

Xue Lihong was still observing carefully with a telescope. Behind the guns, the superpowers began to attack the troll in turn. Judging from their cooperation, it was obvious that a skilled general was commanding.

It's just that the troll is too powerful, and its movements are inconsistent with its huge body. Not only is it not cumbersome, it can also be called dexterous.

Fortunately, the troll didn't have many attack methods and could only rely on brute force. Otherwise, it might have rushed into the base long ago.

Xiao Mo saw someone falling from the city wall through the telescope. As soon as his body moved, he subconsciously rushed out.

Xue Lihong grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, look carefully. It shouldn't have been a day or two since they met."

Xiao Mo was held down by Xue Lihong and could only grab the telescope again.

Sure enough, although some people on the city wall fell off the city wall one after another under the attack of the trolls, others did not mess up at all, and no one was in a hurry to rescue those who fell.

And those who fell into the snow disappeared just like that, and they were not seen for a long time.

The troll rushed to the base of the city wall several times, trying to dig out the fallen people from the snow, but the attack wave from above would also strengthen, forcing it to circle around the city wall.

After such exchanges, the troll saw that he could not gain any advantage, so he roared in anger, sending the surrounding snow flying. He also raised a tank abandoned at the city gate and smashed it against the city wall.

"boom!"

The people at the base were furious, but there was nothing they could do about the troll. Its skin was too thick and ordinary cannonballs couldn't kill it.

"If our missile system can still be used...!" The people at the base gritted their teeth. It was frustrating that such a powerful weapon could only be used with Xiaomi Plus!

"Back off! That troll is leaving! Finally got through another day!"

The people at the base and on the walls cheered.

Seeing that the troll couldn't take advantage, it had no choice but to leave with hatred after venting its anger. It was so big that it got hungry easily. It consumed so much and had nothing to eat to replenish it. It could only go back and kill wild beasts to satisfy its hunger before coming back tomorrow.

"Xiaohong, are you sure you can deal with that big guy?" Xiao Mo stared at the direction the troll was leaving.

Xue Lihong didn't know what she saw through the telescope, but the corners of her mouth twitched and she said, "It's hard to say. I feel that this troll is about as powerful as the previous giant monster."

Xiao Mo's head banged against the tree trunk next to him, "Why did the Earth suddenly gain so many powerful guys? These damn alien developers!"

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong didn't know that although this troll was also related to the developer, the developer couldn't really be blamed for it becoming like this.

The culprit who created such a monster was having fun in the sky. It originally chose this body as a toy because it felt the strength of the other person's body, but it could wait for the light spot to turn it into a puppet toy without its own consciousness. Abandoning it, the puppet survived unexpectedly, but turned into a monster that only knew appetite.

As for why this player became like this, maybe it has something to do with the light spot, maybe it has something to do with his own genes, maybe it has something to do with the irritants put into the earth by the developers of the Helusher galaxy.

All in all, the formation of this monster can only be said to be a coincidence.

What's interesting is that this troll, which originally only knew how to eat, became obsessed with the taste of human superpowers after occasionally eating a human with superpowers. Perhaps its instinct makes it still seek the path of evolution

No matter what, this troll just followed the team of superpowers who came out to look for food and rescue people all the way to Zhongshan Base. After that, they struggled for several days. At the beginning, Zhongshan Base suffered a heavy loss. The large number of manpower also caused the troll to taste the benefits and simply treat the base as his own vegetable garden, coming over to plunder when he was hungry.

"Let's go, it's time to go back." Xue Lihong put away the binoculars.

"Are we going to enter through the gate like this?" Xiao Mo hesitated.

"No, let's go home directly from there." Xue Lihong pointed to the base.

Xiao Mo raised his eyes and saw that among the white snow all over the sky, only one patch of green was particularly conspicuous.

Xiao Mo's mood suddenly became very good. Is this Little Green? It must be it. Apart from it, there is probably no other plant that can unexpectedly turn green all over the mountain during this extremely cold time, and even cover the city wall near Eleven Taibao Mountain with vines.

Xiaolu was playfully dragging the warriors who had fallen from the city wall into the tunnel below using vines one by one.

After all the personnel were rescued back to the base, the earth-type superpowers stepped forward and sealed all the tunnel entrances outside the city wall.

A person with plant-type powers came to seduce Xiao Lu again, holding the now precious conversion energy as a temptation. The little green vine whipped the person away, snatched the reward, and counted it to confirm that it was correct, and returned to the harmless and cute appearance of man/animal.

Plant-type superpower: ... Mr. Lu, don’t you think there are a few more

Qian Yunkai picked up the little vine cat, pushed up his custom-made glasses, and smiled half-heartedly at the plant superpower who climbed up. "Don't be sad, you are not the first loser. Remember to bring more conversion powers next time."

The nth plant-type superpower who failed to seduce Xiaolu: "... Mr. Lu, can you return the excess conversion to me? That is all my family property!"

All the superpowers laughed together. Now that you have the energy in Master Lu’s hands, do you still want it back? There are no windows!

The little vine cat suddenly raised its head, its green eyes became particularly bright, and its mouth opened like a cat, as if it was barking.

The plant superpower was startled and shouted: "No need to pay it back! Don't be angry, Mr. Lu, just think of it as my filial piety!"

The little vine cat jumped up, and the plant-type superpower screamed.

"...Huh? Where is Mr. Lu?" The big man, who thought he would be whipped a few times, let go of his hands holding his head and scratched his head innocently.

Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng looked at each other, wondering what happened. In just a moment, Mr. Lu disappeared.

Qian Yunkai suddenly felt something in his heart, could it be

"Nariko, let's go!"

"Go? Where?"

"go back."

*

Father is back! Finally back!

Xiaolu was so happy when she sensed Xiao Mo's return. God knows how many little monsters it ate in order to escape to that capital city. The root system in the ground grew longer and longer, and now it doesn’t even know where it grew.

Because you don't know the direction? Afraid that his father would come back and miss it, Xiaolu still left the main body at the Zhongshan base. When a big storm occurred, it sensed something was wrong and immediately used its roots to tighten the entire Eleven Taibao Mountain and the buildings on it, including the nearby city wall. .

The square courtyard that belonged to the scavenging team was even more firmly protected by Xiao Lu, and the entire building was covered with vines.

At that time, the base vehicle also flew back.

Cheng Zai and others immediately brought all family members of the team into the living area of the base vehicle, including Qian Yunkai's parents, who also specially picked them up from the research institute.

During this period, a big storm came, all power was stopped, and the base vehicle could no longer be used. Qian Yunkai, Wang Cheng, and the Qian family were almost stranded on the road when they went out to pick up people.

A big black dog led them with a rope and dragged them into the underground air-raid shelter, and then Xiaolu took them back to Eleven Taibao Mountain through the underground root system.

The people in the scavenging team knew Little Green but not Big Black Dog, but seeing that Little Green had no hostility toward Big Black Dog, and Big Black Dog was very understanding and saved them, they naturally regarded Big Black Dog as one of their own.

The big black dog stayed with the scavenging team.

At the same time, just because Xiaolu used the roots to get people from the air-raid shelter, the upper levels of the base knew about Xiaolu's existence. Later, they saw Xiaolu's great power in defense and soil consolidation, so they used Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng to Make a deal with Little Green and use the conversion to hire him to work for the base, but Little Green is really not easy to use.

Having said that, as soon as Xiao Lu sensed that Xiao Mo had arrived at the door of her house, she ran back as fast as she could.

Other creatures still need to run for a while, and they only need to transfer their main consciousness back.

So, when Xiao Mo walked to the city wall and was about to climb up the vines, he saw a little vine cat suddenly leaping out of the vines and crashing into his arms.

With Xiao Lu's help, the two of them didn't put much effort into it. Xiao Lu directly used the vines to wrap them up and send them all the way back to Eleven Taibao Mountain.

Both Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong noticed that this section of the city wall was undefended, and all the soldiers originally stationed on the Eleven Taibao Mountains had also left.

In this way, no one noticed the two sneaking into the base.

However, the reason why the guards on the city wall near Eleven Taibao Mountain are so lax is because there is a little green man here and a powerful watchdog. You know, even the trolls usually don't dare to run here.

In the past, the troll saw that this place was undefended and wanted to break through. It was almost sucked dry by the green vines wrapped around the city wall, and several pieces of flesh were torn off by Dahei. It finally broke free and escaped. Don't dare to go near this area.

The big black dog lying on the top of the mountain in a thinker state suddenly stood up on its limbs.

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong also paused. Where did such a big dog come from? This figure is comparable to that of an adult horse.

Dahei smelled a familiar scent, rushed forward, stopped, swung his tail wildly at Xiao Mo, and made a whimpering sound like missing from his mouth.

Xue Lihong glanced sideways at Xiao Mo: "Tell me, what evil did you do again? Where did you seduce such one again?"

Xiao Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't be ridiculous, it looks familiar. It's probably one of the animals we rescued last time."

Dahei whimpered softly, as if answering him.

Xiao Mo touched its big head, and the little vine cat kicked the big black dog on the head jealously.

The big black dog was not annoyed, biting the hem of Xiao Mo's clothes, turned around and led the way.

Xiao Mo smiled, pulled out the hem of his clothes, and followed the big black dog down the mountain. He saved many creatures last time, but in the end the only ones who came to him and wanted to repay their kindness were the black dog and the little mantis. Well, Xiaolu is already regarded as his son, so that doesn't count.

He's not showing kindness in the hope of repaying it, it's just that when someone does something good and the other person repays it, it's more heartwarming than being heartless, and it also gives people more motivation to continue doing good things, right

The scavenging team's courtyard was surrounded by vines, and Xiaolu only opened a hole in the vines and let the two of them in.

However, Dahei stayed at the door and continued to guard the mountain. This was the responsibility it had set for itself, probably derived from memories from long ago.

As soon as they entered the team activity room, the two of them saw the huge base vehicle parked in the middle of the room.

The base car door is closed.

Xiao Mo walked to the door step by step, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Although the base vehicle cannot be driven and many functions cannot be used, its doors and certain switches can be manually operated mechanically to prevent energy problems and facilitate repairs.

Similarly, the oxygen supply equipment in the space in the car can also be started manually - it will automatically open when the power is cut off. As long as it is not in space and in a non-oxygen environment, the vents can be opened to allow outside oxygen to be poured directly into the space to ensure that the organisms in the space do not Will die from lack of oxygen.

The car door was opened from the inside, and a familiar child's voice sounded: "Brother Cheng Zai, you forgot to bring the key again!"

Xiao Mo smiled, "Xiao Fei?"

The child stood stunned at the door, looking stupidly at the two adults outside.

"Why, you don't recognize me after just a few days?"

Xiao Fei suddenly screamed and jumped up. Instead of jumping into Xiao Mo's arms, he turned back and ran into the car, shouting as he ran: "The captain is back! The captain and vice-captain are back! Ahh!" "

There was a huge chaos in the base vehicle, and several people rushed to the door.

"Xiaomo! Xiaoxue!" This is Deng Anjie, an adult who takes turns taking care of the children at home and taking care of the house. It happens to be her turn to be home today.

"Second uncle! Brother Xue!" This is Xiao Leduo, Xiao Mo's nephew.

"Captain! Vice-captain!" This is classmate Wu Xiaoyuan, the youngest member of the team.

"Second brother, you are finally back." This is his father.

"Xiao Xiao, Xiaoxue! You are finally back. Everyone is worried about you." Wang Cheng's parents are also there. These two are in poor health and cannot go out to do hard work. They grow flowers and vegetables at home with Xiao. Order groceries and the like. Father Wang has a bit of a short temper, while Mother Wang is slow-tempered. Both of them are very good people and are much more reliable in their actions and words than Father Xiao.

Qian Yunkai's parents are not here, and these two have not yet planned to retire. They are still fighting on the front line. Even if all machines and computers are now unusable, they are still doing research and protecting various specimens using local methods.

Xiao Mo's eyes were red. The old man and the children were all here. The others must be fine too. That's great!

Needless to say, everyone was reluctant to leave the living room and surrounded Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong, asking them what they had experienced during this period. Especially the changes in Xue Lihong's body were too obvious - everyone lost weight. Now, he has become stronger. It's not that he is too strong, but that he was too thin. This healthy and cool guy is still very different from the sick guy.

Later, it was Deng Anjie who showed her sister-in-law spirit and asked everyone, old and young, to stop pestering Xiao and Xue and let them have a good rest first. She directed everyone to boil hot water, cook and cook, and asked Qian Yun to wait. Let's talk about it after they come back.

Xiao Mo and the two were not polite. They carried several large kettles boiled with coal and went back to the bedroom in the car to enjoy a hot bath and soak for a while.

As a result, Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng rushed back without waiting until night while Xiao Xue and others were taking a bath. Soon Cheng Zai and other members also came back from get off work one after another.

When they heard that Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong were back, everyone was happy and excited, as if they had a backbone.

Lao Wu patted his chest and said he was going to make a big dinner tonight.

Everyone raised their hands and feet in agreement.

That night, everyone took out all the good things that they would normally be reluctant to eat. No one was willing to leave the living room. The car was as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Little Green, Little Mantis, and Big Black formed a triangle with Xiao Mo as the center, glaring at each other.

Child Wu Xiaoyuan tilted his head and looked for a moment, wanting to come over and interfere, but classmate Xiao Fei hugged his neck and held him tight: "We don't want to compete for favors. They are all little monsters. We can't defeat them, be good."

The little monster Wu Xiaoyuan, who was still a cub, clenched his fist.

Xiao Mo: "..."

Dahei thought he was the biggest, so he gave in to the two younger ones and squatted down next to Xueli Hong's legs.

Xue Lihong touched its back appreciatively.

Dahei narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Little Mantis waved its sickle claw threateningly at Little Green.

"Whoa!" A green shadow flew past, "Biaji!" The little mantis was whipped into a window grill.

The little vine cat let out a silent cry, followed Xiao Mo's thighs with cat steps, and squatted into his arms.

Okay, the ranking of the Xiao family is out:

The boss, the little vine cat, is known as Mr. Green in the world.

The second child, Little Mantis, calls himself the Ancestor Mantis.

The third child, Da Hei, has unknown force value and is the most sinister by visual inspection.

The fourth child is Wu Xiaoyuan, a little monster who has not yet grown up.

Lao Wu, Lin Xiaofei. Psychological boss? The most sensible one

Xue Lihong looked at the one, two, three, four and five in front of her, pulled Zhang Shuai's dead face and hugged Xiao Mo into his arms: Boss, mine.

His Majesty the System in the Bracelet: "Heh."

Everyone present, except for a few people who noticed this drama, everyone else was still caught up in the joy and excitement of the backbone's return.
