Chapter 85: Ascent

Is the baby feeling better today?

"I'm feeling much better, but the rash on my body hasn't completely subsided yet. Tang Ting said it will probably take another two or three days."

Luo Jingang carried Anuo to the bathroom and then received a call from Winnie.

She placed Anuo on the stool, opened the mouthwash bottle, and handed it to her.

"I see some of it hasn't faded yet. Did the baby just wake up from her nap?"

"Yes, Nono didn't wake up until 2 a.m. today. I was worried she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so Doris and the others played with her until lunchtime before she went to sleep."

Winnie looked at the still sleepy person in the video and said with a smile, "Then Phil and I will bring some food for the baby and you later. The children have been asking to see the baby, and I was wondering if we should take them with us. I was just asking you."

Looking at the children behind Winnie, who were all perking up their ears, Locke said, "Since they want to see their sister so much, let them come. Just remember not to get pollen on you. Nono is still undergoing treatment and hasn't been desensitized yet."

Winnie: "We've already dealt with all the flowers in the house. Karina went to the city to buy a pollen filter yesterday when you took the baby to the hospital and has been using it ever since."

"A pollen isolator? That's a huge project, it's quite troublesome."

This is a machine used in agriculture to isolate pollen from other types of pollen when other machines are used to help pollinate flower and fruit trees over a large area.

Luo Jin took out a washcloth, soaked it, and carefully wiped Anuo's face.

He carried Anuo out of the bathroom and placed her on the dining table.

Doris handed the baby bottle to Anno, ruffled her fluffy hair, and combed it.

Kangsen sat down next to Anno and turned on the personal computer to show her a TV program for the cubs.

Even when she's sick, they make sure she's treated like usual, dressing her up neatly and letting her go out to play whenever she wants. They don't let injections or medicine take up all her time, otherwise she'll feel that being sick is a distressing thing.

Tang Ting had just returned from the dispensing room and added new medication to her IV drip.

After giving her a full-body scan with the examination equipment, Tang Ting said to Luo Jin, "Tuka and Huo Yin have been clamoring to see the baby. They just returned to their new home, and their parents have been asking me about it."

Upon hearing Tuka and Huo Yin, Anuo, holding her baby bottle, looked up at Tang Ting.

Tang Ting gently patted Anuo's head, "Baby, do you want them to come see you?"

Anno nodded. Tuka and Huoyin were her friends who had gone through thick and thin with her since the planet Casa. They had always tried their best to protect her. They just wanted to come and see her, and she wouldn't refuse.

She also wanted to know if they were doing well in their new home.

Tang Ting: "Then I'll have them come over."

Luo Jin watched as Anuo refocused her gaze on the projection screen, gave Tang Ting a look, and walked towards the balcony.

Tang Ting paused for a moment, then followed.

Luo Jin pushed the glass door to the balcony closed and asked Tang Ting, "How is Huo Yin doing at the new house? Is there anything unusual?"

Tang Ting said, "I have asked his family physician. Since he returned home, he has not shown any abnormalities, and his energy has stabilized. He just doesn't like to talk to them."

Lokin chuckled after hearing this, "The temperament of Hailier's whole family suits him well. As long as things are stable, that's good. You know the baby's energy can't withstand any more turmoil right now."

Tang Ting: "Giving him to Hailier is the best option. I checked his gene points, and in less than a month, his gene index showed a clear upward trend, which is very rare among beast-like mutants."

The term "beast-like mutant" represents a phenomenon of genetic degeneration in mutants. If one is lucky, the degeneration will be very slow, but it is extremely rare for the genetic level to continue to increase.

Lokin looked into the distance. "If the genes of a beast-like mutant grow, and its rampaging mental power cannot be eliminated or calmed down, it is extremely dangerous."

"So giving him to the Hailier family is the best option. They have the best conditions to raise Huo Yin and can keep an eye on him to see if they can suppress the violent tendencies in his genes later on."

Originally, Huo Yin was to be chosen by lottery from military families, but after Tang Ting and other medical officers and researchers analyzed Huo Yin's genetic report, they decided to help him select an adoptive family.

Even after providing the worst-case scenario for Huo Yin's future genetic changes, many families still firmly wanted to adopt him.

After screening, they selected the Hailier family as his adoptive family.

The Hailier family is a military family with a very long military background. Their family has contributed countless generations of heroes. On the tall monument in the Hall of Heroes Square, the names of the Hailier family can be found from the bottom to the top.

Their family line had actually died out in the middle, when the entire family perished in a major war. Later, an officer, in order to continue their spirit, claimed to be a descendant of their family.

The monument to the fallen heroes bears the names of countless Heliers. The first Helier whose name can be traced back to at the very bottom of the monument was the greatest contributor to the formation of the Federation of the Northern River System and the victory of the invasion war for the Northern River System.

Helier is currently the commander of the First Legion and the military commander-in-chief of the North River system.

However, he is almost 500 years old and is nearing retirement age.

Huo Yin was the first child he adopted. He married late, when he was almost four hundred years old.

"By the way, Hailier also asked me about the baby's condition."

Lokin asked curiously, "Helir is questioning you? Asking you what?"

Tang Ting: "It was about the baby's health condition, but he asked very detailed questions, such as whether the baby was eating and sleeping well, and her preferences."

A strange feeling welled up in Lokin's heart. Putting aside why Helier was asking such detailed questions, even if he wanted to ask, he should have come to her. He was the commander-in-chief of the legion and her superior.

From the moment she received the baby from Casa Star, her basic reports were made public to the higher-ups, and no one would ask about them privately anymore.

Especially after they adopted a baby, no one else would bother them, except for very close friends and relatives.

They only knew the Hailier family; they had no real relationship with them. Even if Hailier, as their superior, asked, he would have asked her, but he asked Tang Ting instead.

Tang Ting: "I probably know the baby's health best, which is why Hailier came to ask me."

Logan: "But what's the reason?"

Tang Ting and Luo Jin looked at each other for a while, then simultaneously looked at Anno inside the room.

Tang Ting: "Alo, you saw Eve's condition yesterday. Hailier came to ask me and confirmed the secret. We should not only pretend we don't know anything, but also pretend that no one else knows anything."

After Evena explored Anno's energy yesterday and displayed such strong emotional abnormalities, he reviewed the records of the sparks that had disappeared or died over the years.
