Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 195 Lingke and Pera

The debt issue has been temporarily resolved.

However, Yalilo-6 will soon face even greater challenges.

Without the suppression of the star core's cold wave, the antimatter legion will soon emerge.

They might call on some companions at that time.

...The star core is indeed a double-edged sword, but fortunately the star core of the train crew has always been very stable.

Yes, that's right.

Thinking of her precious daughter Xing, who could be quite eccentric at times, Yunzhi nodded to herself.

However, the antimatter legion's counterattack is likely to take quite some time; we'll see when that happens.

As Yunzhi thought about it, she suddenly felt relieved.

At this moment, Yunzhi is walking in the snowfield on the outskirts of the main city.

Although it was still snowing, it wasn't cold.

The two girls went shopping with their friends. Yunzhi really didn't want to go shopping with the girls, and besides, his presence made people feel a bit constrained.

—That's the constraint imposed by the patriarch; there's nothing we can do about it.

Therefore, Yun Zhicai chose to go solo and wander elsewhere.

As I was thinking, suddenly, a very cute voice came to my ear—

"Huh?"

I couldn't tell what animal was making that sound.

Yunzhi followed the sound and turned to look.

A very familiar animal came into view.

The reason it looked familiar was because Yunzhi had seen similar animal specimens at the Belleburg History Museum.

Icefield Bear?

It looks like it's still a cub.

The little ice bear tilted its head, flapped its two semi-circular ears, looked at Yunzhi, blinked, and even twitched its little nose.

Yunzhi and the little bear looked at each other and blinked.

Then, the little ice bear immediately got up, flapped its short arms and legs, as if trying to walk over, but slipped and fell on the snow.

It rolled over to Yunzhi and bumped into Yunzhi's calf.

Yunzhi couldn't help but laugh.

He bent down and picked up the dune bear, which was now extinct in the historical records of Belleburg:

"Little one, where did you come from?"

The little bear opened its paws, hugged Yunzhi's neck, buried its head in the crook of his neck and rubbed against him, making a comfortable "woof" sound.

Yunzhi didn't expect the little icefield bear to answer.

He raised his hand and stroked the not-so-soft fur of the field bear: "Alright, are you hungry? Shall I make you something to eat?"

The little bear is very intelligent; as soon as it hears the word "food," its eyes light up.

Seeing the child's greedy look, Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

He looked around, walked to a nearby rock covered in ice and snow, cleared away the snow, found an old piece of clothing to cushion it, and then placed the ice bear on it.

Then, Yunzhi took out various ingredients from her backpack.

—You'll get used to this. Xing's backpack is full of all sorts of trash.

Light a fire, set up a barbecue grill, prepare the ingredients slightly, toss them on to grill, and sprinkle with seasonings.

Because she was worried that the Icefield Bear might have a sensitive stomach, Yunzhi didn't add chili peppers.

The little ice bear watched Yunzhi cook the food with a greedy look on its face, its saliva almost freezing in its mouth.

Yun smiled and gave him a small piece of meat.

It immediately bit down, held it in its little paws, and slurped it down.

After finishing the food in a few bites, the little ice bear let out a remarkably human-like sigh:

"Gurgle—whoosh—"

Yunzhi: ...

So cute!

Ah, so cute.

Feed it, keep feeding it!

------------------

Generally speaking, few people, except for the Silvermane Iron Guard, are willing to come to the ice plains outside the main city of Beloborg.

After all, in a cold and unfamiliar place, if something goes wrong, it's easy to suffer the same fate as the pawns of those antimatter legions because they can't wait for rescue.

That's right, they were frozen together.

However, it cannot be said that no one will come.

For example, right now—

The snow is falling quite heavily.

Yun looked up at the sky.

The cold wave will take quite some time to pass, and Yunzhi thought that he should probably return to the main city.

Let's take this bear home; maybe we can even take it on the Star Train.

Yun Zhi was preparing to extinguish the flames and return to the main city.

Suddenly, I heard a human voice.

"Phew... So it takes this long to get from the administrative region to the snowfield. The snow is so heavy, it feels even heavier than what I've seen in the northern mountains."

That sounds a bit like the intelligence adjutant from the Silvermane Iron Guard.

Yun followed the sound and looked in that direction.

Two petite girls were standing not far away, marveling at the sheer amount of snow.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the snow should get heavier tonight... Did you pack your warm clothes?"

Another girl wearing a small hat looked at Pera.

Pera nodded: "Of course, so now we should find a suitable campsite... um, flat and dry, sheltered from the wind and shade, and it should be on relatively high ground..."

Hearing Pella's voice, Yun looked around.

Yes, the location I'm in is flat, relatively dry, sheltered from the wind and shade, and not very high, but there's no risk of avalanches...

Moreover, it's a very important route, so there should be Silvermane Iron Guards patrolling it, ensuring rescue should anything happen...

Yun Zhi simply stood up and waved to the two little girls.

However, his gesture seemed to frighten people.

"Lingling... Lingbao, what's that over there?!"

?

Pera's voice trembled slightly.

Yun Zhi's brow twitched. After thinking for a moment, she spoke up: "Lieutenant Pera, it's me."

Don't worry, it's not a bear that comes out to forage in the snow and pretends to be a person waving.

Pera recognized Yun Zhi's voice and breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, it's Mr. Yun..."

"Mr. Yun?"

Another girl tilted her head: "My brother and sister said he was the hero who saved Belleburg, right?"

Pera nodded: "Yes, Lingbao, let's go quickly."

Lingbao?

What a cute name!

Pera and her friends ran to the cloud.

Yunzhi remained seated calmly, while the little Icefield Bear sat on Yunzhi's lap, happily swaying back and forth because it was full.

The blonde girl's eyes lit up instantly.

"Long time no see, Mr. Yun."

Pera and Cloud's first meeting was in the High Guardian's office. Although they didn't exchange many words, Pera undoubtedly respected the hero who saved Beloborg.

"This is my good friend, Lindsay Landau."

Of course, Pera didn't forget to introduce her friends.

"Landau? Is he related to Garrison Commander Jepard?"

The blonde girl nodded happily: "Yes, Garrison Commander Jepard is my brother, Mr. Yun, hello."

The little girl's eyes were glued to the ice bear in Yun Zhi's arms.

—I want to touch it.
