Howie exhaled heavily, finally suppressing the restlessness in his heart. He was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively again, "Really?"
Li Shu raised an eyebrow. "Is this true? You don't think I would tolerate someone entering my room and staying there for such a long time, do you?"
Although Li Shu is not like the star beasts who would fight to the death if the other party broke into his territory, he would not allow a stranger or animal to live in his territory forever.
You have to know that he came from the apocalypse, and the fact that he could survive alone in the apocalypse means that he has definitely experienced life and death battles with zombies, and he cares more about his own territory.
When Huo Wei heard this, his expression was somewhat unpredictable. "Isn't the reason I can live here because I came here on my own initiative?"
Li Shu, "...That's also because I was half-hearted!"
He did not deny that the reason Howie came to him was partly because the warden gave him a salary increase, but more importantly, he was also curious about Howie.
You must know that the other party is the only star beast with a danger rate as high as 99, but can still maintain its sanity and communicate with humans.
Moreover, during this period of time, he went to the Star Network to check the introduction of star beasts. No matter how old a human is, when a human transforms into a star beast, he will only be in the cub state. Only Howie is in the adult form. This is also the other party's special feature!
Because of their excessive curiosity and the time they had spent together, they unknowingly started to keep each other in their hearts.
Li Shu finished speaking, looking at Huo Wei seriously. "No matter how we met in the beginning, you are now an important family member to me. So, you don't have to compare yourself with other star beasts to see who is more important to me. Our feelings are different, so there is no comparison!"
Huo Wei was very satisfied with Li Shu's answer. When the other party proposed to go to the city again, he did not object, but nodded and said, "Be careful on the road and stay safe."
Although Huo Wei was not an orphan, the Huo family's education had never emphasized family affection. This was the first time he heard someone care about him, not because of his family background or his status, but for its own sake.
This made Howie unable to help but show his good side to the other party.
Just after Li Shu left, Huo Wei lay down on the sofa, ready to go to Star Network and learn about national current affairs through news updates.
But before opening the star network, a communication came from the optical brain, and it was from its former colleague.
Howie was silent for a while, then reached out and pressed the answer button, and then a 3D human figure appeared in front of him.
"Howie, long time no see."
The person who came had a kind and benevolent face, which made it easy for people to have a good impression of him.
But Huo Wei didn't like him. His voice was full of impatience as he said coldly, "What do you want from me?"
The projection remained peaceful. "Huo Wei, how can you say that? We are colleagues after all. Of course, I'm here to show my concern for you..."
Before he could finish his words, Howie interrupted him. His golden-green eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's true nature. "If you don't have anything else to do, I'll hang up the phone!"
"Wait a minute!" The projection's expression froze slightly, and he cursed in his heart. This guy was still the same as before, inflexible. If it wasn't for this matter that he could only ask it, he would never talk to this guy no matter what.
"Howie, I actually came to you this time because I have something to tell you. Our Empire wants to know if the plant that the breeder at Lido Prison mentioned is real. Could you bring us two so we can do an experiment?"
Huo Wei lazily raised his eyes to glance at the other person, then retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I don't have it. If you really want it, just go to the live broadcast room and grab it yourself!"
"Huo Wei!" Seeing that Huo Wei was about to hang up the phone again, the projection on the other side became even more anxious. Seeing that the gentle policy could not persuade the other party, he directly used threats and inducements. "You also want to restore your former glory. I have also watched the live broadcasts these two days. The effect of that plant on you is very small. The danger rate of other star beasts is now slowly decreasing, but yours is hanging there."
"If you can hand this plant over to us, you must trust the abilities of our scientists on our main planet. They will soon be able to develop a potion that can truly reduce the danger rate of star beasts. When the time comes, you can drink it, and it will be able to reduce your danger rate and return to your former glory!"
"But if you don't hand over the plants to me, then we strongly suspect that you want to keep this technology for yourself and don't want more star beasts to recover."
In response, Howie sneered and hung up the call without hesitation!
Allow the person on the other side to rage helplessly.
…
An hour later, Li Shu rushed back from the city, "Huo Wei, I'm back!"
He held a huge gift box and walked quickly to Howie. "Look, this is the gift I bought for you. Take a look and see if you like it!"
As he spoke, he helped Howie open the package, revealing the food inside, which was a fragrant synthetic meat.
"I heard from the salesperson that this food is the favorite of the Star Beast Canines. Come and try it!"
Huo Wei didn't want to eat it at first. He had bought this kind of food before and didn't think it was very delicious. But when he saw Li Shu's expectant eyes, he didn't want to disappoint the other party. After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to lower his head and take a bite.
When the food enters the throat, it does not feel mushy and woody, but is very strong and chewy, and even has a very familiar taste.
“The meatloaf is delicious and has a very familiar taste.”
Li Shu chuckled at this and then said, "Your sense of taste is quite sensitive. You can taste it so easily. I asked the chef to add some plant spices to this. It should taste like this."
"If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time I go out. I'll buy the recipe from the boss and make it just for you!"
Li Shu's words were not particularly fancy, but every word he said could make Huo Wei confirm that the other party really regarded him as a family member.
Howie curled his lips, smiled and nodded, and secretly made a decision in his heart that he would protect the other party well and let the other party do whatever he wanted!
"What's wrong with you? It seems like you're worried about something."
Li Shu saw that Huo Wei was in a bad mood and asked curiously.
"Nothing." Howie took the initiative to change the subject. "What did you buy for the snow leopards?"
Seeing this, Li Shu didn't care about what Huo Wei was thinking, but happily showed the things he bought for Xing Beast to him.
He smiled and said, "Then I'll take this cat teaser and watch the snow leopard perform the butterfly-catching show. It will definitely be fun!"
