Interstellar Contract

Something is different.

In Si Nian's view, An Ruila is a little girl who is somewhat proud and stubborn. This kind of girl was everywhere in the school in the past, but it is really rare to be able to follow the "principle" like her.

Overall, not annoying.

An Ruila also seemed to feel that Si Nian was a little different from what she knew. Although her face was always expressionless, her temper was unexpectedly gentle.

Apart from being a bit greedy for money, it seems that there are no major shortcomings.

Of course, it would be nice if these people could go a little further.

It's a pity that except for Judy, the others didn't follow An Ruila's command very much.

Si Nian and Albert have basically given up the idea of ​​falling behind, because they are too clear that with An Ruila's sense of responsibility, after falling behind, it will not have any other effect at all other than being quickly found and criticized and educated.

But Albert still didn't feel very good. Even if he knew that An Ruila was not a bad girl, he still couldn't dispel the shadow in his heart.

I don't know if it was influenced by him, but the bad premonition in Si Nian's heart became more and more intense.

Leaving the first rest point, the road becomes difficult.

The Devil's Forest is densely planted. It was relatively easy to think about because it was the outermost part of the forest. Now that it's a little bit inward, you can immediately feel the difference from other places.

I don't know if it's because the surrounding plants are too much, the whole space looks a bit dark, and the lack of enough light makes the surrounding temperature a little lower than that of the open space.

Therefore, there is always an eerie feeling when walking inside.

Si Nian and Albert are at the bottom, although they have given up the idea of ​​falling behind, but being able to stay away from other people is to stay away from right and wrong.

Si Nian never joked about his sixth sense. He had a premonition that the crisis must be caused by his teammates, but he couldn't identify the target candidate yet.

As a result, the team took on a long strip shape, with An Ruila at the front, Judy following behind her, brothers David and Jim in the middle, and Si Nian and Albert at the end.

An Ruila stopped from time to time, urging the people behind to follow up quickly, but the effect was not very satisfactory.

So she had to slow down.

"I said, why are you big men so slow!" An Ruila said impatiently.

The sluggish footsteps of the team behind her severely slowed her progress.

"We are not big men, we are little boys!"

Only Albert could say such obscene words.

An Ruila was furious, but she had no intention of continuing to argue.

She snorted, ready to move on.

"Stop!" Si Nian suddenly shouted.

An Ruila turned around, and was about to complain about Si Nian's sudden shout, but saw Si Nian's face with an unprecedented serious expression.

"Listen?" Si Nian said with a raised ear.

The sounds in the forest were chaotic, with insects and birds chirping, and occasionally a beast roar from afar.

Everyone saw that Si Nian's expression did not seem to be joking, so they had to concentrate and continue listening.

"Shusha...Shusha..." There was a rhythmic friction sound.

Everyone wanted to listen more carefully to what the sound was, but they heard Si Nian shouting: "Go! Go back the way you came!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for other people to react, he pulled Albert and ran back.

It's not clear whether the others are friends or foes, he just needs to take care of himself and Albert.

But the others were not slow to react. Although they didn't know why Si Nian suddenly asked everyone to turn around, their instincts told them that it was best to follow Si Nian's words at this time.

"What's the matter? What's going on?" An Ruila, who ran along with her, asked while running behind.

She saw that Si Nian was running forward desperately as if there was a ghost behind him, so she took the time to look back.

"Ah!" Seeing this, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Judy also looked back, and then quickened the pace of running back.

It turned out that the place they just stayed was already occupied by a group of fist-sized black ants, and those ants were running towards their current direction without stopping.

Hearing An Ruila's exclamation, the others noticed the terrifying scene behind them, especially after they confirmed the true identities of these ants, they couldn't help speeding up.

This is a mutated species of army ants. Generally speaking, the number does not exceed fifty, because the mutated ants become stronger and more destructive. If the number of colonies increases, other creatures will inevitably be affected.

Probably due to nature's restraint on it, the number of mutated army ants has declined.

Even if there were only fifty, it was not something that a first-year team like Si Nian could handle.If you are a student of the Combat Department, you may still have the strength to fight, but if you are a weak chicken of the Plant Department, you can only escape.

What's more, there are obviously more than fifty mutated army ants here, and there may be hundreds of them. If they stay in place, even if they have the protective shield issued by the academy, they can only be regarded as giving food to the mutated army ants.

Fortunately, Si Nian and the others responded quickly and promptly, and it wasn't too late for them to escape. If they were surrounded by army ants, the only choice they had was to be swallowed besides resisting.

In fact, just before letting everyone escape, Si Nian didn't know what happened.

He only felt the small "rustling sound" constantly ringing in his ears, as if it came from a far away place, but it seemed to be constantly approaching.As he listened carefully, a sense of boredom also quickly hit him.

As if foretelling something...

Sensing the danger, Si Nian's first reaction was to turn around. They were some distance away from the first resting point, but it wasn't far away. If they could rush back in time, compared to the seemingly measures there, they could save their lives. Otherwise, even Calling for help now, when the supervisor in charge of their safety comes over, they will probably only receive a few useless equipment.

As for the bones, I'm afraid they have been eaten up long ago...

Si Nian ran hard, and the fat body of Albert next to him was about to be dragged into the air by him.

Albert has never tried running so fast before, and he misses all means of transportation very much now. If he hadn't used these changes in the Devil's Forest, which would cause changes in mutated plants, he might have escaped in a hover car long ago.

David and Jim's speed is not slow, probably because men have a natural advantage in this area. Although they are not sentinels, they are still much faster than the two girls.

An Ruila and Judy, who were at the bottom, were much more unlucky.

The two of them were originally at the front, but now they were suddenly switched, and they became the last. Coupled with the girls' lack of physical fitness, the two gradually began to fall behind.

"Ah!" An exclamation sounded, making the people in front couldn't help but look back again.

I saw that An Ruila, who was behind Judy, fell to the ground for some reason, and Judy hesitated for a moment after An Ruila fell, as if she wanted to go back and help her up.

"Follow me, I'll go!" Si Nian turned around and ran over after saying that.

"Si Nian!" Albert wanted to hold Si Nian, but the other's clothes slipped through the gap between his fingers.

In fact, Albert was able to catch Si Nian.

But Si Nian blinked at him suddenly.

Because his back was facing other people, only Albert saw it.So Albert's already clenched hand suddenly let go.

In the eyes of others, it seemed that Albert was half a beat too late and thus failed to catch Si Nian.

Before Si Nian came to An Ruila's side, An Ruila got up by herself.

Because she cared too much about the mutated army ants behind her, she tripped over a vine that suddenly protruded just now.There was still some throbbing pain in her ankle, but in order to survive, she ran tenaciously.

The injury greatly delayed her speed, so the mutated army ants quickly shortened the distance between them.

When seeing Si Nian come back to look for her, An Ruila was both moved and disturbed.

"What are you doing back? Run quickly and leave me alone!" An Ruila refused Si Nian's support. Although her leg hurts, she still couldn't bear it, "It's useless even if a weak chicken like you comes back! You're not Wen Dushan or Jason."

Si Nian: ...

Why do I suddenly feel like I shouldn't come back to save people?

Well, putting aside An Ruila's rare girlish heart, in fact, she just wants Si Nian to give up on herself.

But since Si Nian chose to turn back, he thought of a countermeasure.

He is not the kind of moral role model who takes on himself to save others, he is just an ordinary high school student who came to an alien planet because of a contract.

He still wanted to save his life and go back to see relatives and friends, but he couldn't die here inexplicably.

Si Nian took out the small ball prepared by Lu Sheng from the space and threw it out.

A huge explosion sounded not far away, taking advantage of the short pause of the marching army ants, Si Nian took An Ruila and quickly ran towards the large army.

"Leave me alone. Small weapons like this can't deal with mutated army ants. Otherwise, I wouldn't have run away with you without resisting." Although An Ruila was surprised by the lethality of Si Nian's weapons, she returned one yard. One yard, this kind of thing really can't completely solve the mutant army ants, but will irritate the mutant army ants.When they were overtaken by the mutated army ants, Si Nianke would never be able to escape again.

The power of the bomb gradually faded, because the misty smoke caused by the explosion gradually dispersed.

Strangely, the loud rustling sound made by the mutated army ants seemed to have really become smaller because of the explosion.

It's rare that what Si Nian throws out is not an ordinary elixir, what other effects does it have?

Even though she knew the situation was urgent, An Ruila still couldn't help herself to look back.

Seeing this made her almost stand still.

What happened to the big tree that kept waving its branches? !
