Embrace the light

After it was completely dark, the penguins did not rush any further, and led everyone to a snowy slope sheltered from the wind.

Tonight was the second time Ian saw stars after coming to this planet, and the sky was full of stars twinkling.

Except for the Ian nine, the big penguins seemed to be quite interested in this rare starry sky, and kept looking up at the shining stars.

The little penguins slept peacefully in their respective backpacks, and were not disturbed by the cold and sound from the outside.

"I haven't seen you for so long, do you think these stars still know us?"

Xiao Ting said to Yang Na: "Then you ask them loudly."

Yang Na shook her head, "Don't wake up our little cutie."

The two of them liked dolls very much, and now they are hugging a living, soft and fluffy cutie, so naturally they are full of joy, taking care of them like pets.

Ian also likes the little cutie in his arms very much. Meeting is a kind of fate. On this desolate planet, it feels amazing to witness the birth of a new life.

"Heng, have you ever watched a nature documentary? Have you ever seen a species of penguin?"

Heng nodded, "I've seen it a few times."

"The penguins over there hatch their eggs in the brood pouches of the male penguins, and they have to rely on their father's pouches to keep warm for about a month after birth. But these little guys are Captain Zhou and they are in the cave. Discovered, and it's amazing that they can keep the temperature away from their parents and hatch on their own."

Heng squeezed Ian's fingers to show that he was listening.

"When we return to Imperial City, I'll take you to the zoo for a walk. Since you came home, you've only learned about the world through the Internet, and you haven't actually seen these wonderful species of all kinds yet."

Heng said, "Okay."

On this planet, everyone is going to bed earlier and earlier.

Looking at the bright starry sky and cuddling with their partners, everyone slowly entered their dreams.

Ian dreamed that the little guy in his backpack turned into a big, strong penguin, which was as tall as himself. It made Ian sit on his back, and its wide wings turned into flippers when it entered the water. Penguins swim happily in the ocean.After swimming in the sea for a while, the big penguin suddenly soared into the sky, and its flippers instantly turned into wide wings. It waved its wings and carried Ian soaring wantonly in the sky.

Although he is afraid of heights, but holding the round body of a flying penguin, Ian feels very at ease without any fear.

When he jumped into the ocean again, Ian was taken by the penguins to a patch of seaweed, where the seaweed fluttered with the waves and colorful fish played leisurely.Ian let go of the penguins and watched them from the school of fish.

"An An."

Suddenly, Ian heard Mino's voice.

Ian looked around and saw Mino swimming towards him quickly, with Mo with long black hair beside him.

"Nono."

Ian happily went up to meet Mino, only to notice that he had a light golden fish tail.

Ian was very surprised, stared at Mino's tail for a few seconds, and asked him, "Nonuo, why did you become a mermaid?"

Mino first grabbed Ian's hands, stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly hugged him into his arms, and began to choke up and cry.

Ian had never seen Mino's tears before, and suddenly he was at a loss. He patted Mino's back to comfort him, and asked, "What's wrong, Noonuo? Don't cry, who bullied you, tell me , I'll beat him up."

"I...I thought...thought you weren't alive..."

Ian patted Mino on the back, "I'm alive, I'm alive and well."

Mino stopped crying, and looked at Ian from head to toe, he was indeed intact.

"Where are you and Heng now? The search and rescue team has sent several waves, but they can't find any trace of you."

"Search and rescue?" Ian was puzzled, "What search and rescue?"

Mino explained: "You and Heng took the Starship to go to the snowy planet, and the Starship crashed halfway."

Ian's head was dizzy, and suddenly many images flooded into Ian's head. He rubbed his forehead, trying to straighten out these chaotic scenes one by one.

Yes, he is now on an unknown planet with Heng, and he is following the big penguins to their habitat.

"Are you all right, Ann?"

Ian shook his head, "It's okay, I remembered now. Nuonuo, we are now on a desolate planet, this planet is covered with snow, and there is a finger-long dry grass under part of the snow. We have been walking north , climbed hundreds of miles of mountains to the top of the glacier, met a group of creatures that looked like enlarged penguins during the day, and are now returning to their habitat with them."

"So are you and Heng okay? Are you injured? Is there any food?"

"We are not injured and there is still food."

"An'an, don't be afraid. I have already begged my father to send elite troops to search and rescue you. I will not give up on you. You must persevere."

"Alright Nuonuo, you have to take care of yourself too."

"An'an, do you know when you arrived on that planet?"

Ian shook his head, "We all passed out, and when we woke up again, it was 11:30 the next day."

Mino wanted to ask again, but suddenly the tail started to turn into foam, and Mo who was with him and the penguin beside him had long since disappeared.

"An'an, don't be afraid that I will find you—"

Mino only had time to utter the last words before disappearing completely.

Ian opened his eyes, and the sky was already pale. The friends were still asleep. Five big penguins stood in a semicircle. Although they were resting with their eyes closed, they were still watching over everyone.

Ian recalled the scene in his dream, and he thought that he must have missed Mino so that they reunited in the dream.I haven't contacted for so long, I don't know how Mino and Hehuan are doing, and I don't know if Mino has found a way to terminate the contract with Mo.

"woke up?"

Heng's soft voice came from his ear.

Ian nodded and whispered, "Heng, I dreamed about Nuonuo."

Heng hugged Ian into his arms, "I'll see you later, and you can tell him about our special trip."

"Ah."

After waking up, I felt a little lost and disappointed, and Ian didn't want to sleep anymore.

He sat up, put on his down jacket, carefully carried the backpack on the side into his arms, and opened the zipper to look in. The little guy was lying on the scarf and was still fast asleep. into the same dreamland.

When Ian got up, the little guy's parents also woke up, and it quietly walked to Ian's side, and also looked into the backpack.

It was the first time for Ian to get so close to the big penguin, perhaps because of the little penguin, the long pointed beak of the big penguin seemed much softer now.

Seeing that the little penguin was fast asleep, the big penguin straightened up, looked at Ian for three seconds, and then quietly walked back to his post.

Ian said to Heng behind him: "They are so sweet, let's send the little penguins home properly."

Heng replied, "Yes."

After another half hour, the sun rose from below the horizon.

Seeing the nine people waking up one after another, the leading penguin uttered a long cry, "Gah—"

It was the little penguin's "chirp~tweet~tweet~tweet~".

Ian said, "Is this the horn and the way they wake up?"

Yang Na replied with a smile: "I think so too. Don't say, these big fat guys and little guys are quite well-behaved."

The nine people washed up and ate their own breakfast, and the little ones were being fed by the big penguin.

After eating and drinking, the group continued on their way amidst the urging "quack" of the penguins.

At almost eleven o'clock, nine people and five penguins arrived at the destination of the trip.

The leading penguin made a loud "qua~qua" twice, and more than 50 large penguins with white belly and black back suddenly appeared out of thin air in the white snow.

"Gah-"

"Gah~"

The calls came one after another, intertwined and somewhat harsh.

When I got closer, I found that the snow on this side of the hillside was deep, and there were many caves under the snow, and those big penguins came out of the caves.

Originally at this time, the big penguins were supposed to catch fish and prey outside, but due to an accident where their eggs were stolen, they decided to stay in the cave all day these two days to prevent the thief from appearing again.

Penguins only lay one egg a year, and the hatching success rate is 90.00%.In their inherited memory, no creatures that could rival them have been encountered on this glacier, so when they go out to look for food, they will not leave members to guard the eggs.This is the first time their eggs have been stolen.

Seeing the five penguins returning from hunting for eggs, the companions who came out said "Quack-quack?", as if they were asking about the situation of their hunting for eggs, and where the nine hairless creatures brought back were. What.

The leading big penguin replied to the inquiring companion "Ga———" After speaking, a few curious penguins stepped up to the crowd and looked at the hairless monsters more closely.

One of the penguins seemed to be very interested in Ian's scarf, and pecked it with its long beak, but the force was very light and would not hurt him.

Xu felt the breath of the same family, and the little guy in Ian's bag called out "chirp~chirp~", Ian opened the zipper of the backpack, the little guy stood up straight from inside, his round head swung up and down on the ground, "dancing" "Singing" side.

The other three little ones were infected and began to sing together, "Chirp~Chup~" one after another.

The cry of the cubs made the whole group of penguins quiet, and after a few seconds, everyone started to walk towards the place where the nine people were, vividly interpreting the curiosity and eagerness of "I am healthy~let me be healthy~".

In order to prevent these big guys from getting too close, the four hugged the cubs by the base of their wings so that the penguin colony could see them.

Seeing their own clansmen, the cubs were also very happy, flapping their fluffy little wings happily.

Amid the long chirping of the leading penguin, the group of penguins stood on both sides, leaving a two-meter-wide aisle in the middle.

It's time to say goodbye to these little guys. Ian put the cub in his hands on the snow, and this time it stood on the ground very obediently.

Walking on the snow in the homeland, the air is full of the breath of the same clan. The little ones are not afraid. They swing back and forth on the vacated snow and patrol, and then they are taken back to the original cave by their parents. .

Zhang Minglin took out the hot but unhatched fifth egg from his backpack, held it in both hands and showed it in front of the leader penguin.

It gently rubbed the big white egg with its cheek, then gently moved Zhang Minglin's hand towards the backpack with its beak, motioning him to put the egg back.

Seeing this, Captain Zhou said, "Why don't you leave the backpack to it, and let it incubate the cubs. After that, the two of us will share one bag."

Zhang Minglin nodded, and took out the contents of the backpack, leaving only a scarf as a bedding for the egg.He carried the backpack strap and handed it to the big penguin.

"Brother, I'll give you the backpack. We've already returned all your cubs, so it's settled now."

The big penguin didn't take the backpack, but opened its mouth and bit the clothes on Zhang Minglin's arm, and led it towards the cave.

Zhang Minglin was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to look at Captain Zhou, and Captain Zhou touched the back of his head, "What do you mean? I won't let you go? I won't let you go until this egg hatches?"

Ian said: "Why don't we stay here? The original purpose of running around is to find food. If these penguins don't hurt us, we can follow them to forage. They are the original species of this planet, and they must be better than us. Where there is food, there is danger."

Yang Na raised her hand in agreement, "Yes, if we don't treat us as food, we can be neighbors with them. They are so cute, and the cubs are so soft and cute, there is nothing wrong with staying."

Before everyone could reach a definite answer, Zhang Minglin took a step forward.The strength of this penguin is too great, if he doesn't follow it, he feels that his clothes will be torn by it.

"Hey? Hey!"

Seeing Zhang Minglin being dragged away by the leading penguin, Captain Zhou was worried about his safety and prepared to go with him.

But before he took a few steps, another penguin grabbed his backpack and blocked his way.

The other penguins were not idle either, and each claimed a person and wanted to take them to their burrows.

Hengran would not separate from Ian, he took Ian's backpack and carried it together, and sure enough no penguin went to claim Ian.

When Heng was "kidnapped" by a big penguin, he held Ian's hand, and the two were taken to a large cave entrance together.

The cave is a semi-cylindrical shape, only over one meter high, but about two meters deep.The big penguin moved back nimbly and got in, and came out of the hole after a while, holding a round egg firmly between its claws.

"Ga~ga~" The big penguin stood up and pecked at the backpack on Heng's back with its beak, apparently to ask Heng to put the eggs into the backpack.

After Heng did as the big penguin wanted, he got a warm hug from the big penguin.

The penguin's hug was very warm, and it spread its wings to protect Ian and Hengshi. Ian felt as if he had met an angel, although the angel was not pure white, and was round and chubby.

"Ga~ga~"

The big penguin's voice was obviously cheerful this time, and it tapped its own cave with the tips of its wings, as if signaling to let the two of them go in.

Ian shook his head, pointed to the flat snow outside, and walked back and forth a few steps to indicate that they didn't want to stay in the cave, but wanted to walk on the flat ground.

The big penguin didn't know if he understood, but this time he didn't grab the clothes of the two of them anymore, but swung his neck up and down and yelled "quack~" a few times, and then went down first.

The penguins gathered on the flat ground, except for the five that were traveling with Ian and the others, the rest of the big penguins left neatly in a column.

Nine people sat around to eat lunch, and four little penguins also came to join in the fun.Xu felt that the human body was very warm, and the little penguins squeezed themselves into the human penis very cleverly, and kept trying to climb onto the human body.

Ian picked up the coquettish little penguin, let it sit or squat in his arms, and then hugged the little penguin's chubby body with his arms.In fact, Ian felt that the little penguin's body was much warmer than his own. The fluff on its body was dense and thick, and the skin could not be seen even if it was gently pulled away.

The little guy sat obediently on Ian's lap, and when he saw Heng holding something to feed Ian, it opened its beak slightly "chirp~chirp~" and wanted to eat a piece.

Its elder came over hearing it begging to be fed, and opened its mouth to the little guy to feed it, but the little guy turned his head and refused, and was severely pecked on the head by the parent.

Ian even saw a few strands of fluff between the big penguin's mouth, um, why are the penguin parents so rough...

However, the big penguin's roughness had an effect. Although the little guy groaned sullenly, he didn't ask Ian and Heng for food anymore.
