Chapter 30: Is it a wolf?

"Baby, baby..."

As soon as Anno opened her eyes, she saw Luo Jin sleeping beside her. She gently stroked Luo Jin's cheek to wake her from her nightmare, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and looked at her with worry in her eyes.

Anno was breathing heavily; the suffocating feeling of being enveloped by seawater in her dream made her gasp for air.

Anno's mind was a little hazy. She didn't know what Luo Jin had said. Even though the room was warm, she still felt cold.

Looking into Luo Jin's gentle gaze, she suddenly awoke as if grasping a lifeline in the water, reaching out to grab her front like a frightened little animal burrowing into its mother's arms.

Luo Jin paused slightly when he saw Anuo's slightly frightened yet dependent gesture, then reached out and hugged her, gently patting her back and soothing her in a soft voice: "It's okay, baby, Mommy's here."

Anno felt the warmth emanating from Luo Jin and smelled her faint fragrance, which calmed her down considerably.

Lokin felt the little cub in his arms shiver slightly, and he hugged her even tighter.

"Did the baby have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, dreams are all fake."

Anno buried her face in her soft chest and hummed softly.

Of course, she hoped that what she dreamed of was all fake, but it was all something she had actually experienced. The moment she woke up, she thought she had returned to the past and that everything now was just a dream.

Having experienced the beauty of this place, she would be afraid to return to the old days.

Anno clung tightly to Luo Jin's clothes, feeling her real body temperature and hearing her concerned voice, only then did she feel that she was truly living in this world, not a dream.

Lokin gently patted Anno's back and sang a lullaby in her ear to continue lulling her to sleep.

Anno closed her eyes, reached out and wrapped her arms around Lokin's neck, resting her head on Lokin's neck. Her hair fell on her face and tickled her, so she moved and rubbed against Lokin's neck.

This little gesture of dependence made Lokin sigh softly, and he placed his hand on the back of the cub's head and kissed the top of her head.

How could she bear to let someone else raise this child if things continued like this?

The six children she raised could run and jump when they were her age. Each of them was incredibly healthy, rarely got sick, and rarely cried, but they were extremely good at destroying things around the house.

There were probably six children in the family, three of whom had wolf and dog genes. They were naturally mischievous and started running around the house like crazy as soon as they could walk. Only Hicks was a little less troublesome when he was young.

Animals and alien offspring like them can walk at five months old, and by the time they are one year old, they are already running around the house. When they are hungry, they will destroy the house and look for food on their own.

The hybrid species are alright, as they inherit fewer genes from the animal species. When they are young, the hybrid species are completely like little wild animals with huge appetites. Many families who have raised one hybrid species pray that they will not get another hybrid offspring when they go through the lottery to adopt another one.

It's not that we can't afford to raise them, it's that the little ones are too noisy and mischievous. If the second lottery draw results in another beast cub, we'll have to wait until they're all grown up before we dare to raise another one, otherwise we really can't handle it.

However, the proportion of different animal species in this world is already higher, so the chances of drawing an animal species by lottery are also greater.

They entrusted Tang Ting with the lottery six times in their family. He had an amazing knack for drawing lots. Whenever there was a lottery at the mall, he would always draw the best prize. Of the six adopted children, he would draw one beast-type child and then another mutant-type child. Their family had a very balanced mix of three beast-type children and three mutant-type children.

These kids can turn the house upside down when they're together, so of course she wouldn't dare to do that at home.

So now, the fragile and docile little cub in her arms is giving her a rare feeling of truly raising a child.

It wasn't until she adopted her second child that she realized all children are pretty much the same when they're young. It was just that Hicks's well-behaved and sensible nature gave her the illusion that her cubs were relatively obedient.

The period when they are soft and obedient as kittens is too short. After they turn one year old, they enter their super destructive period.

Her kids are somewhat afraid of her and don't dare to openly cause trouble for her, but the moment she leaves, the family is unusable within two minutes.

No wonder she always saw smiling faces and a warm, welcoming atmosphere in the families who kept fire.

When she was a child, no matter how angry her parents were, they would calm down when they saw Eve.

After all, these beast and alien children are tough from a young age, not afraid of being hit or scolded, and their skin gets thicker every day. If they don't listen to them, they can drive you crazy.

Anno fell asleep quickly with her arms around Lokin's neck. Afraid that she would have nightmares and not sleep well, Lokin held her all night without moving.

She is an anomaly with an SS-level genetic grade, making her physical condition far superior to that of ordinary people. She is full of energy every day and only needs four or five hours of sleep. In the past, on the battlefield or when she had to complete some difficult missions, it was common for her to go without sleep for several days and still maintain a high level of concentration. In addition to her strong physique, this was also something she had honed little by little.

Tang Ting came in to check on them twice. Seeing Anuo sleeping peacefully with her arms around Luo Jin's neck, she felt relieved and didn't disturb them.

Anuo slept soundly until the next morning. She finally slept well and didn't have any nightmares. In her light dream, there were only pleasant and reassuring songs and a warm scent.

"Is the baby awake?"

Lokin watched as the little cub rubbed her eyes, and smiled as he smoothed her messy, sleeping hair.

Anno stared at Luo Jin with her large, watery eyes. The two were very close. After a while, Anno looked away and unconsciously leaned her head against Luo Jin's shoulder. "Doggy..."

"Um?"

Upon hearing Anno mention the word "dog," Lokin asked softly, "Baby, do you want to ask about dogs?"

Perhaps among the animal cubs she rescued were canines.

Anuo looked up at her, gently wrapped her arms around her neck, and whispered, "You smell like a dog."

Lokin chuckled, understanding what she meant, "Did the baby smell the dog on me?"

Anno nodded, then shook her head. She didn't know how to describe the feeling. She smelled nice, but not like the smell she used to have on animals. She just felt like she smelled a dog. But it was more of a feeling than a smell, a sensation emanating from the energy emanating from her.

The scent was the same one she had sensed from Hicks; she could also sense different energies and scents in other people.

But if Hicks says he's a wolf, then Logan must also be a wolf?

After thinking for a moment, she changed her mind and said, "It's not a dog, it's a wolf."

However, she still felt that wolves and dogs were pretty much the same.

It took her a while to come up with a relatively complete sentence in her mind. When Luo Jin heard her slightly awkward, soft voice speaking in a serious tone, it was just too adorable.

She gently stroked her hair and said, "My main gene is that of a fire wolf, and my main attribute is fire. But I am a variant, so I won't turn into a big dog like Hicks, but I can still transform a little bit."

She went along with Anno's words and referred to Hicks as a big dog.
