46 Friends Reunited

46 Friends Reunited Peanut made her way around the siege-tower lorry, closely followed by Rockwell and Little-Bit. The noise on the front line was incredible— the thwup- thwup of helicopter blades, the whoosh of flying arrows, the splash of exploding ink bombs, all underpinned by the thundering roar of the approaching Big X. Peanut thought that the Resistance's task seemed even more impossible when viewed at close quarters. The area immediately behind the archers was a hive of activity. Paint-splattered Resistance operatives were being tended to, weapons were being repaired, and the siege equipment was being fortified. The hamsters were back in the wheel, lowering the trebuchet cradle as quickly as

46 老友重聚 花生绕着攻城塔卡车往前走，罗克韦尔和小不点紧紧跟在她身后 前线的声响大得不可思议——直升机桨叶突突转，飞箭嗖嗖飞过，墨炸弹炸开溅开花，所有声响都裹着渐渐逼近的大X发出的雷鸣轰鸣。花生觉得，近距离一看，反抗军的任务更是难到不可能完成 弓箭手正后方的区域忙得热火朝天 沾满颜料的反抗军战士在接受照料，武器在抓紧修理，攻城设备也在加固 仓鼠们回到滚轮里，正以尽可能快

Even Rockwell welcomed the licks, mainly because they momentarily took his mind off the fact that were in the middle of a huge battle that they couldn't possibly win. "I am sure you lot aren't meant to be here," said a soft, friendly voice behind them. The four of them turned around and were greeted by a sight that made them smile ear to ear. "JONATHAN HIGGINBOTTOM!" they said in unison.
