Cub Raising Association

war.

The word itself is brutal.

In Zarad's eyes, war will only take away other people's precious things meaninglessly, and the relatively peaceful appearance of Interstellar is something to be happy for all races.

Regarding the war that took place on Xor Star more than a year ago, Zarad was not very clear about the specific situation. At that time, he had already retired from the military, and he was still depressed.

But Zarad recalled that the campaign was short-lived, a blitzkrieg.After the Covenant sent out the peacekeeping force, the war ended in just three days.

According to Morrison's behavior, Zarad felt that even if the military did not send special troops in this battle, the other party would definitely ask to go to the battlefield.

Taking the opponent's participation in the war as a prerequisite, Zarad can speculate that the Riley cub was probably picked up by Morrison on the Keso battlefield.

Zarad said all the conjectures he thought of, and Xie Tao gradually frowned upon hearing this.

The cub in his arms still buried its head on him, Xie Tao hummed a lullaby softly, and continued to consciously direct his mental power to comfort the cub.

If things are really as Zarad said, then this cub is probably not afraid of thunder, but afraid of the sound... similar to thunder.

Maybe it was the explosion.

There are many thunderstorms this season, Xie Tao lowered his head and looked at the cub in his arms with worry in his eyes.

Stress response, he should have discovered it sooner...

Xie Tao recalled the first time he saw the mermaid cub, when the little mermaid left the water, it showed the same fear and fear.

The panic in the eyes of these two cubs is similar, Cal finally overcomes this psychological barrier, Xie Tao doesn't know if this Riley cub can overcome it.

Worried, Xie Tao checked the weather forecast for the next half month on Starnet. Fortunately, it will be sunny from tomorrow to next weekend.

This weekend, Morrison came to the Rainbow Dash Club again.

Only people who care about the cub will come. The other party's purpose of coming is obviously to see the situation of this cub Riley. Although he is not the parent, Xie Tao still agrees to let the other party stay in the living room and get in touch with this cub.

"Goo~"

Fluttering its tiny flippers, the cub Riley had slapped around Morrison's legs as he walked into the hall, and had now done three full laps around him.

With its head raised, when the cub Riley was circling around the adult, its black eyes were also looking at the adult.

Because it is looking at the person it likes, the cub's dark eyes are particularly bright now.

"Guck~"

Lifting and releasing the fins on both sides of the body, the Riley cub raised its head and uttered a particularly crisp cry to the person in front. This action meant that the cub wanted the parent to pick him up.

Looking at the status of the cub, this cub has been taken good care of in this branch these days.

After confirming this with his own eyes, Morrison let go of his heart, and the tense expression on his face relaxed a little.

In the end, he picked up the cub, just hugged it normally, and Morrison didn't do anything to coax the cub.

But that alone seemed to make the cub look happy in his arms.The immature and crisp cry has been sounding since just now, and it is not difficult to see the vitality of this cub.

Apart from the vitality, it can also be seen that the cub is very at ease, probably because of the sense of security from the person holding it, Xie Tao can feel that the mental state of this Riley cub is more stable than at any other time.

Parents can be of great help to cubs in overcoming psychological barriers. Xie Tao identified the person in front as the cub's parents, and a clear idea emerged in his heart.

"Do you have any idea of ​​adopting this cub?" After Morrison finished visiting the cub, Xie Tao asked about it not far from the cubs.

"If not, you might as well think about it now." Xie Tao added sincerely.

Morrison obviously didn't expect Xie Tao to say these words to him. He paused for a moment, and then looked at the cub Riley who was playing with a few chubby chubby cubs in the hall. After a few seconds, Only then did he answer: "I have no plans to adopt a cub."

The implication is that Xie Luan's proposal was rejected.

Xie Tao didn't expect that the other party would refuse so simply, there was no room for maneuver in his tone, and the stomach draft he had just prepared was stuck in his throat.

Judging from Morrison's words and deeds, Xie Tao is [-]% sure that he cares about and loves this Riley cub, but Xie Tao can't think of a reason why he is unwilling to adopt it.

When Xie Tao was choked, Morrison seemed to be about to leave. He just came here to look at the cub briefly, and he could leave when he saw it.

Xie Tao didn't stop him, but when Morrison was walking towards the door, the Riley cub who had been paying attention to this side raised his fins and walked over. This cub followed Morrison all the way. Walk to the door, stand at the door and watch the other party walk away before turning back sensibly.

This Riley pup does this every morning while on Silorin.

The adult is going to the military headquarters on weekdays, and this cub wakes up early with him every day, and only goes back to bed when he is gone.

It is not easy for a cub to wake up early in the morning, but this Riley cub opened his eyes as soon as he heard the sound of the adults in the house getting up.

"Goo?"

The returned cub Riley walked up to Xie Tao, and made a slight questioning sound.

The cub's thoughts were easy to understand. Xie Tao bent down to touch the head of the cub Riley, and replied, "Well, he will come to see Riley next week."

When the other party came back next week as expected, Xie Tao handed over the cliché... No, the job of communication was handed over to Zarad.

Entrusted with this task, Zarad thought about how he would strike from the side, but as a result, he lit a cigarette for himself in the first action, and then pushed the cigarette case towards the opponent.

To Zarad's surprise, he saw the person opposite shook his head.

"Quit?" Zarad said casually, but he didn't expect the person on the other side to nod, and even responded.

"Yeah." Morrison responded with a steady voice.

not easy.

Even when he was still in the military, Zarad had to secretly smoke one every now and then, and he felt that he couldn't do it anyway.

"One year and six months ago, you went to Xo Xo." Telling the exact time of the war, Zarad observed the expression of the person opposite, and then said, "That Riley cub is the one you Picked it up on Keso’s battlefield?”

The other party's overly accurate guess made Morrison's expression slightly changed, and he nodded in affirmation of Zarad's statement: "That's right."

"You're still the same, you apply for where there is a battlefield, even if you want to be a hero, those guys in the military department will give you the title of a battlefield lunatic..." Zarad felt a little Sigh, although the friendship between the two is not deep, Zarad believes that he still knows each other.

The reason why the opponent is so fanatical about the battlefield, and every time there is a war, he immediately applies to his superiors to join the army is precisely because the opponent hopes to do his best to bring the war to an end as soon as possible.

This is the opposite of what many people think of as mania.

"I'm not going to be a hero," Morrison replied, not wanting to be.

Special forces sometimes have to do things that are not suitable to be solved on the table, and people who operate in the shadows cannot be heroes.

Of course Zarad knew about some things that the special forces did, so he chose to change the subject: "But why did you bring that Riley cub back? I thought that according to your style, you should find a cub on Xo Cub Care will house the cub."

Morrison's answer this time was not as fast as the previous few times. He paused for about three seconds before saying two words slowly: "Accident."

Another surprise——

Hearing these two words, Zarad couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. When he asked about the other party's arm before, the other party seemed to answer him with this word.

and many more……

Connecting the two things, Zarad couldn't help speculating: "You lost one of your arms on this battlefield?"

In response, Morrison nodded again.

With the level of medical care in today's era, most people who lack arms or legs can be fitted with prosthetics through surgery. There is no difference in appearance from ordinary people, and there are basically no obstacles in movement.

However, Morrison was injured by a special weapon, and even after the wound was healed, the prosthetic was not allowed to be loaded. The medical department of the Covenant Army has no solution for this.

The wound caused by this special weapon will continue to transmit pain after healing. Now Morrison is used to enduring it, and he will not show the slightest pain because of it.

According to the scene on the battlefield at that time, Morrison should have followed experience to choose the most favorable action at that time.

But facing the current result, Morrison has no regrets, because he saved a cub that is very important to him now.
