The whole empire is bringing us together

Chapter 47 Weakness

Knowing that it had been found, the Etes cub struggled to grab the leaves on its body with its claws to cover itself, Quint bent down and picked it up.

He was carrying this little thing that was not much bigger than the palm of his hand. Unlike the one just now, the eyes of this cub had been fully opened, and the eyeballs that had not yet turned scarlet were light pink, like two beautiful little colored glazes. ball.Its ears drooped, and it stared straight at Quint. Somehow, Quint saw the pleading in its eyes.

Hyperion didn't know how long it would be before he could return. Quint looked at the direction Alpha left, pursed his lips tightly, took a deep breath, and regained the psychological construction he had just made, and slowly touched its neck with his other hand.

The moment it touched the cub's throat, the little thing let out a high-pitched cry like a human baby. Quint withdrew his hand as if shocked by electricity, and stared at it blankly.

It cried very pitifully and helplessly, and the tears rolled out of its eyes wet the sparse lanugo on its face, as if it had learned that it would suffer the same fate as its companions, but it was only a cub after all, so it was impossible to know so much.

The weak crying broke the coldness that Quint had built up with great difficulty. He stared at the little thing helplessly. What made him hesitate was not Etes, but a newly hatched and opened his eyes, completely A clean new life, a little life that cries like a human baby.

After a long time, Quint finally hardened his heart and pressed its neck again.

——Did they show any mercy when tens of thousands of children in Zhumingsha were blown up?

The little thing kept looking at him with wide eyes, tears streaming down the back of Quint's hand, and its four paws were struggling to break free from Quint's hand.The trachea was strangled, and it let out a sharp "ho ho" sound from its throat, and struggled more violently. The claws whose nails hadn't fully grown scratched Quint without any pain, and each stroke was a strong desire for life .

Blurred pictures kept flashing before his eyes. The boy in his memory who didn't know what was going to happen reached out to wipe the blood on his forehead. Quint hugged him tightly and ran towards the fortification bunker.Missiles fell from the sky and razed the kindergarten to the ground with a bang.

The children who were evacuated kept screaming and screaming, grabbing the hem of the teacher's clothes, as if it was the last safe haven in the world.Quint rushed into the nearest underground bunker, curled up in a corner with his younger brother who was too scared to cry.

Missiles fell one after another, each one caused the ground to tremble wildly, more and more people ran into the bunker with bloody wounds, after a long time, my brother burst into tears and threw his head into his arms desperately. Drill in.

Why are they killing children?

Today, Quint is no longer troubled by this problem day and night like he was when he was a child. Etes firmly pursues the genocidal policy. Whether it is humans or Zerg, as long as they are not my race, they should be completely destroyed in their eyes.

The cry of the cub in the palm became smaller and smaller, and the painful suffocation made it gradually lose its strength to struggle. Quint closed his eyes, and let go of his hand a second before it suffocated to death.

The cub, which was on the verge of suffocation, fell to the ground from mid-air, lying on the ground and coughing desperately, Quint looked down at this little life that he could easily crush to death, feeling so uncomfortable that he didn't know what it was like.

How could he not do it?

Quint has never hated his Omega nature as much as today. Being weak to the enemy is cruel to himself, but the kindness buried deep in his soul—or the weakness makes him destined not to be able to snap off like Hyperion. The neck of a cub.

He looked towards the direction where Hyperion left, realizing that Alpha would not be able to come back immediately, and there was a sense of loss in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed.

Forget it, the violent rainy season on Valen star is coming soon, even if he doesn't kill it, this thing can't survive.

Having made up his mind, Quint no longer looked at the cub that escaped death, but hurriedly looked at the radar signal, looking for Hyperion.

After walking for a hundred meters, he heard rustling noises behind him. He looked back and saw that the cub, which had finally recovered its breath, was struggling to follow behind him with unsteady steps, as if it had completely forgotten what was happening. 1 minute ago, Quint wanted to kill it.

Kunt raised his foot and kicked it lightly, trying to kick it away. The cub's pointed ears drooped, and it was kicked until its soft belly rolled a long way. followed up.

Quint didn't care about it anymore, anyway, if it still dared to follow him when it merged with Hyperion, it would have no choice but to die.

Throwing away the cub's body, Hyperion raised his eyebrows when he saw the little red dot on the terminal representing Gwent moving towards him quickly, thinking that something happened, and hurried back the same way to meet him.

Seeing Quint's face from a distance, Hyperion stepped forward to give him a comforting hug, and asked softly, "Why didn't you wait for me there?"

Quint shook his head, his slightly rapid breathing hit the skin on the side of his neck, arousing unspeakable agitation in his heart, Hyperion forcibly ignored all the images in his mind that should not appear at this time, and rubbed the top of his hair.

"Etes has another cub." Quint didn't hide it from Hyperion, he pointed to the little thing following him behind him, but found nothing.

Hyperion was slightly surprised: "There is another one? Where is it?"

Quint frowned: "I should be hiding. I was still following me just now. No matter how hard I chased him, I couldn't drive him away."

Seeing Quint's appearance, Hyperian easily restored his struggle and entanglement at that time, and deliberately said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's okay, don't worry, if it dares to come over, I'll clean it up. "

Quint hummed, and with Hyperion by his side, the anxiety that had been burning him in his heart miraculously disappeared.He regained his energy, took a deep breath, and continued to focus on the assessment in front of him.

The cub didn't show up all day, until at night when Hyperion went to drain the water, Quint sat under a tree waiting for him, and the cub appeared out of nowhere with a dead mouse in its mouth.

There were traces of fighting on its body, and the lanugo was bloody. It seemed that it was hard to catch this prey that was as big as it.Putting the dead mouse in front of Quint, it wagged its tail flatteringly, with its ears pricked up, leaned down and carefully kissed Quint's hand hanging on the side, and licked his fingers with its tongue.

Quint withdrew his hand sharply and stared at it closely. At this moment, the sound of Hyperion walking and touching grass blades sounded, as if a big enemy was approaching. The mouse, squawking softly, turned and ran into the darkness.

"What's wrong?" When Hyperion came back, he saw that Quint was staring at a dead mouse on the ground in a daze, and wanted to touch his face, remembering that he hadn't washed his hands after helping him, so he held back in the end.

"That Etes gave me this thing in the morning." Kuntra took Hyperian to sit beside him, picked up a branch and poked the dead rat: "It's afraid of you, when it hears you The movement that came ran away."

Hyperion only found it strange, he never thought that Etes would have such a habit like a house cat, he held Quint's hand and fiddled with a branch: "It may think this is a good thing. "

"Who knows." Quint ignored it, took out three nutrient solutions from his bag, and asked Hyperion, "Orange, blueberry, and lemon, which one do you want?"

"Lemon." Hyperion took the nutrient solution from his hand, pulled off the lid, took a sip, smacked his lips, and said, "The taste of this lemon is different from what I imagined."

"What do you imagine?" Quint asked casually, he unscrewed the cap of the orange-flavored nutrient solution, and before he had time to take a sip, Hyperion suddenly came over and bit his lip.

In the light of the smokeless stove, the intertwined shadows of the two moved slightly, half a minute later Hyperion retreated contentedly, licked the corners of his lips and said, "That's the taste."

In the middle of the night, the rainforest was full of dangers. The two set up a tent, sprinkled insect repellent powder around them, and took turns to watch the night as usual.Quint spent the first half of the night, sitting at the door of the tent and concentrating on watching the terminal, with Hyperion's long sleeping breath behind him, which made people feel at ease.

The cub came out of the bushes without a sound, leaned against him, whined softly, and curled up for warmth.Kunt reached out to push it away, and it turned over, with its soft belly facing up, twisting its body like a baby.

Many animals will regard the creature or object they see at first sight as their mother. Quint didn't know if this little guy was like this. He stared at the cub for a while, sighed secretly, and scratched his finger lightly. Scratch its jaw.

The cub purred in enjoyment. It huddled next to Kunt's legs and swung its tail high. Kunt opened the nutrient solution and poured a few drops on the leaves. The cub immediately stretched out its tongue eagerly to lick it away.

It is estimated that it is busy hunting the mice dedicated to Quint all day long, and it doesn't even bother to eat.After quickly licking up most of the nutrient solution, it was full and satiated. It rubbed against Quint's thigh and lay down to rest without any defense.

At two o'clock in the evening, Hyperion was woken up by the vibrating alarm clock. He walked out of the tent and saw the little thing huddled with Quint at a glance.

He quietly went over to pick up the sleeping Etes cub, and asked Quint who had just realized that he had woken up: "Is this the little thing?"

As soon as the Etes cub opened his eyes, he saw Alpha strangling his compatriot to death, and the hair all over his body exploded in fright, waving his paws and screaming. To Hyperion, these struggles were nothing more than gnats shaking trees.He teasingly nodded the cub's black nose, and pulled his hand back a second before it opened its mouth to bite hard.

"Hmm." The expression on Quint's face was a little nervous: "Are you going to kill it?"

"It's all right, I don't care, if you don't want to kill it, you can keep it for now." Hyperion poked its belly like a child who caught something interesting, and the cub screamed anxiously: "Anyway, Etes The news about it has been reported to the instructor, and someone will come to deal with it, or else we will kill it after we finish the exam, don’t tell me, it’s so interesting.”

"Then let's keep it for now." Quint nodded, not stopping Hyperion's teasing.After a while, Hyperion finally had enough of playing, let go of the cub, fell to the ground, quickly turned over, and immediately ran away without a trace.

Hyperion patted the dirt on his hands, and rubbed the skin on the back of Quint's neck that was exposed outside the collar: "You, you have such a soft heart, you won't be able to go to the battlefield in the future."

"Then I won't go, I will cheer for you in the logistics."

As Quint said, he got into the tent and went to sleep. Not long after he lay down, he got up uneasy and stuck his head out and shouted at Hyperion: "Don't do bad things while I'm asleep!"

Hyperion gestured to him no problem.

The author has something to say: this cub is very important in the following plot, without it Xiaohai and Quint would both be XXXXX, so it can’t die [resist the desire to spoil it]
