Chapter 17 The World Under the Tree
Song Shuhui thought she would be able to go home immediately after leaving the building, but she forgot one thing, when she was chased by patrol robots in a panic, she didn't know her current exact location at all, nor did she know the detailed route to leave the city.

Once you get the wrong direction, you don't know how long it will take you to go around after you go out.

So Song Shuhui stopped within a few minutes after jumping out of the building.

The cheetah cub followed closely behind her, and stopped when she saw her stop.

Song Shuhui tilted her head to look at it, and asked tentatively, "Do you know the way out?"

The cub chirped in response, and its cry was very clear and high-pitched, much like a bird's song.After calling, it walked to the front, and it seemed that it really understood and began to lead the way.

Song Shuhui was overjoyed, and began to feel that it was a wrong decision to drive the cub away, maybe she really needs a good and reliable partner, no matter what the cub's future habits are, now it is really caring and reliable.

The world under the sloping trees is like a low forest. As the upper plants grow taller and denser, it is difficult to see the light from below. It is obviously sunny in the afternoon, and it is like evening under the trees Just as dim.

The speed of the two is not fast, Song Shuhui still has time to look at her feet, there are many small animals in the ground, all kinds of small bugs that she has never seen before even crawled on her body, if it is not for the mechanized armor covering the whole body, her body The fur may be full of barnyard bugs, mosquitoes, flies and lice.

Song Shuhui suddenly looked up at the cub who was leading the way. The cub was not protected by a mecha, and it hadn't been bathed much. It usually ate a lot of raw meat. Not only did it have worms in its hair, but it might also have worms in its stomach.

And I usually like to sleep on the belly of the cub.

Thinking of Song Shuhui, she suddenly felt itchy head and back, and she had to go into the water and rub it vigorously after returning.

In addition to various bugs, Song Shuhui stepped on some unknown items from time to time, which may have been dropped by the people in the city when they left in a hurry. Those things had long been covered with moss and could not see their original shape.

Stepping on a hard object again, Song Shuhui simply stopped and pawed carefully, and found out a long, slender object, not heavy, and wiped off the dirt on the surface, revealing the off-white skin.

Song Shuhui looked left and right, and waved it in her paw, at this moment she suddenly realized what it was.

The thing in his hand was thrown out suddenly, making a loud bang.

It was a bone, and a human being is a hand bone.

Song Shuhui suddenly jumped away from the place where the human bone was found, and looked around carefully for a while, and saw an object that looked like a sternum and a skull.

Someone died here once.

Under what circumstances would someone die on the side of the road and no one would collect the body? What happened in this city to make people flee in a panic?

Song Shuhui couldn't figure it out, and felt a chill in her heart.

Spotting her stop, the cub came back and hunched her arm with its head.

Song Shuhui stroked its soft fur: "I'm fine, I just found something."

With the discovery of the first human bone, Song Shuhui slowed down to observe the ground when walking forward. This observation made her back feel chills again. In just a few street corners, she found the second person and the third person Even the bones of the fifth person.

In addition to the bones, there were many broken mechas. She saw a helmet of the same style as her own. The helmet was crushed by some heavy object, leaving only half of it.

Song Shuhui rubbed her arms and walked to the cub to walk alongside it.

Seeing that she was interested in things on the ground, the cub would pull out something and push it towards her when it was moving forward.

It's a pity that there are almost nothing that can be used, and even if there is, she doesn't know how to use it.

Seeing that she didn't accept it, the cub pushed over another small ball, which was a bit like the glass marbles Song Shuhui played with when she was a child, it was transparent, and there was a bright yellow color inside.

This brought back memories of Song Shuhui, she wiped the beads clean and stuffed them into the bag with rare joy.

Finally, something was sent out, and the cub walked around happily.

Just as they were walking and stopping, there was a rustling sound behind them.

Unlike when she was ambushed by the weasel at the beginning, Song Shuhui was very vigilant now, she reacted almost instantly, and directly raised the muzzle of the mecha and aimed it at the direction of the sound.

The cub reacted at the same time, baring its teeth there.

While the vegetation was shaking, a mouse soon poked its head out. The mouse was huge, like a kitten. Its small mung bean-like eyes stared at the two for a moment, and then jumped out. It ran very skillfully, and It's not straight forward, but left and right.

In this case, using energy to attack is just a waste of energy. Song Shuhui put away the muzzle and charged directly.

As rodents, mice and squirrels attack in a similar way, using claws and teeth as weapons.Now Song Shuhui has more mechas here, protected by the mechas, she is not afraid of the mouse's bite at all, even though she opened and closed to grab the mouse, it quickly scratched the mouse's fur with scars.

The mouse screamed in pain. Song Shuhui thought it would run away. After all, the mouse is such a cautious and timid creature. Unexpectedly, not only did it not run away, but it rushed towards her desperately.

Song Shuhui was going to get rid of it directly, but when she grabbed the mouse's eyes, a black shadow jumped out of the bushes in front of her, jumped into the air, and bumped into her.

Song Shuhui couldn't reach her defense and rolled around on the ground. The animal that hit her was too strong. Before she got up after she rolled down, the other party jumped up and pressed her body again, just like a child a few hours ago. The same as when the cub pinned down the robot.

This was a critical blow. Song Shuhui was so crushed that she almost vomited blood. She felt that her ribs might have been broken. Only then did she see clearly that the body of the thing that rushed was covered with a mecha like her own. The mecha was completely black. It's hard to see in this increasingly dark world under the trees.

After getting the mecha, Song Shuhui's biggest reliance was the power of the mecha. She once thought about what she would do if she met an opponent who was also wearing a mecha.I just didn't expect this moment to come so soon.

The animal on the opposite side looks like a cat. The cat's attack power is not comparable to that of a mouse. Its strength is too great. Song Shuhui gritted her teeth secretly. She couldn't get up after using several times of strength. She directly raised the cannon of her arm He pointed his mouth at the black cat and blasted it out.

The black cat backed away abruptly, this time it missed it, but Song Shuhui was freed, she quickly got up, and confronted the black cat at a distance of several meters.

The black cat howled hoarsely, probably because it was afraid of the blow just now, so it didn't come up again for a long time.

After the black cat rushed up next to it, the cub quickly held down the mouse that was trying to escape, and it directly bit off the mouse's neck without any hesitation.

The black cat and the mouse, two species that were supposed to be rivals, have strangely become collaborators in this area. The mouse is responsible for seducing the prey, and the black cat is responsible for the ambush. However, today the mouse was directly killed.

The black cat's meow became more and more shrill, and it grabbed the cub.

The cub was just right, Song Shuhui couldn't put the cub in danger, so she stepped in front of the cub.

A cat and a mouse bumped into it again, and Song Shuhui staggered, knowing that she couldn't confront the black cat head-on, so she used harassment tactics as before, grabbed it and ran away quickly.

The speed of the black cat was also quite fast, and it immediately chased after it. Song Shuhui would not dare to spare energy, and would release attacks at critical moments. Soon, a hole appeared in the black cat's mech, and it rolled to the ground in pain.

Only then did Song Shuhui realize that the mecha on the black cat was different from hers. It was not a helmet that could be stowed away, but a full armor worn on the body. The metal at the pierced hole was slowly closing like a living thing. .

Song Shuhui suddenly became greedy for this mecha. Once the energy on her body is gone, it can no longer be activated and used. The one on the black cat may not be able to use energy to attack, but it can be worn all the time to increase protection.

At that moment, she didn't give the black cat a chance to react, and the attack suddenly became violent. The injured black cat slowed down, and finally Song Shuhui found a flaw and hit it directly on the neck.

Like the mouse, soon the black cat fell too.

Looking at the silent black cat, Song Shuhui felt a little complicated. She kept saying that she still kept her original aspirations as a human being, but before she knew it, like a real beast, she had gradually adapted to the current environment. There is also indifference to the death of animals.

She feels that she has violated her original intention, but she also feels that there is nothing wrong with her doing so. She still retains a sense of morality and shame. If the person standing in front of her today is a human being, she will definitely not kill people without emotion die.

This is a ferocious beast that wants to kill itself, and it is only for self-protection.

Song Shuhui pursed her lips and fumbled to take off the mecha from the black cat. After removing the mecha, she found that it was not a black cat, but a tabby cat. With a sharp head, it is completely different from those cute kittens on the earth, but more like a new animal that has never been seen before.

This inexplicably made Song Shuhui heave a sigh of relief.

In this short period of time, the small hole on the mecha that was hit at first has completely disappeared.

The material of the mecha is a memory metal, which feels very light. Ordinary scratches cannot penetrate the metal layer. Even if it is scratched, it can be repaired quickly. It cannot be defended unless it is attacked by energy weapons. It is more than enough to deal with ordinary animals in the forest.

Song Shuhui couldn't carry anything anymore, so she waved at the cub, and put the mecha on it. The cub didn't resist at all, and even put it on more skillfully than Song Shuhui.

This thing did not affect vision and movement. The cubs with the mecha ran majestically a few times and touched the mecha on her body, as if they were happy that they had the same thing.

This trip was quite rewarding. Song Shuhui didn't procrastinate to look at the ground for the next section of the road. The two speeded up and rushed out of the city. There were cats and mice who died before them. There was no one else on the way. The animals came up and tried to attack, and they finally reached the edge of the city and left the dead city after an hour.

Song Shuhui glanced back, not knowing what she would encounter next time.

The battle with the cat dropped the energy bar she just got to 70.00% five, luckily 75 can be used for a long time.

Without stopping at the entrance, they returned to the tree hole in one go.

It was getting dark, and Song Shuhui wanted to go back to rest quickly, but when she got to the entrance of the cave, she realized that she hadn't thought about coming back before leaving, and even drove the cubs away, and the cave was tightly blocked.

She turned her head and found that the cub was not following behind, but was standing more than ten meters away, looking at her eagerly.

This is something that still remembers her driving it away.

Song Shuhui couldn't help but smiled, and waved her paw at it: "Come here."

The cub tilted its head to look at her for a while, and finally approached under Song Shuhui's call. It took off the mecha on its body, and rubbed its furry head against Song Shuhui's arm.

"I'm sorry, I didn't intend to drive you away on purpose. In the future, if you don't want to leave, don't leave, okay?"

The cub became visibly happy, with sparkling eyes.

Song Shuhui also laughed, closed the mecha, and rubbed against the cub's head.

"Thank you for saving me today, thank you."

This time it was not God's blessing that made her survive, but the cub's hard work. She couldn't take chances every time. There was no luck in life and death.

This trip to the city made Song Shuhui feel that she was wishful thinking about going to Tongtian Building now. A black cat can consume 25 of her energy. If she is not facing a cat but a large beast, her energy may bottom out immediately.

She still has to increase her strength before thinking about anything else.

So for the time being, they will continue to live here.

Moving away the branches blocking the opening of the tree hole, Song Shuhui unloaded the package on her back. The clothes on the robot were very big, enough to fit her and the cubs, and it could be used as a tent when it rained in the future.This is Song Shuhui's most satisfying harvest besides the energy bar.

Putting the clothes under the rabbit fur cushion, a marble rolled over, Song Shuhui picked up the beautiful bead, dug a small nest on the wall of the tree hole, and stuck the bead in the nest.

After tidying up the tree hole, Song Shuhui couldn't wait to rest, and the cub had been sitting by her side watching her busy.

Only then did she realize that as the cub grew up, the originally suitable tree hole began to get a little smaller. When it sat upright, its ears were against the top of the hole, and it would not be able to live here in a few months.

Rubbing the cub's head, Song Shuhui comforted her, "I'll expand the tree hole tomorrow. If it's really not possible, I'll build you a tree house."

Generally speaking, lions, tigers, and leopards sleep on the ground under the cover of the sky, but the rain here is so powerful that large beasts have to live in caves to avoid being affected, and there is no roof.

The cub beeped twice, as if acting like a baby.

Song Shuhui tilted her head and fell directly on its belly.

"It's been a tiring day, let's take a rest."

The moon rises and shines high on the earth.

In the tree hole, the two rays of light interacted with each other, but what is different today is that as the light illuminates, the marbles placed on the wall also emit light. The colored stripes in the center are amazingly bright, followed by an air The screen unfolded in a swish, appearing in front of the two of them.

"Hello."
