Chapter 103

When Su Ci was searching for signs of life, the little wolf cub saw that he didn't say anything, so he didn't continue asking. He stood on the river bank with the little white deer and looked down at the riverbed.

Suddenly, the young man screamed and then stepped back. He looked left and right, then leaned over to look at the riverbed.

"I've seen this place!" Little Langze said in surprise.

The little white deer blinked and asked curiously, "Have you been here before?"

When did it happen?

Little Langze shook his head and said, "Remember those two people on the bus who were talking and disturbing Susu's sleep? The monster they were talking about should have appeared here."

Xiao Langze was deeply impressed by the mud monster in the video. After all, it was such a huge monster that the giant spider looked like a small toy in front of it.

He also remembered clearly the place where the giant monster appeared.

"Yes, it must be here!" Little Langze observed the environment around the river bank and nodded.

"Then..." The little white deer looked at the mud at the bottom of the riverbed and swallowed nervously, "Will that monster appear again?"

Little Langze couldn't answer. He recalled the monster's hideous appearance and looked at the thick, indissoluble red fog on the opposite side of the river bank, and couldn't help feeling scared.

"Don't be afraid."

At this time, a clear and peaceful young man's voice sounded, soothing the anxiety in their hearts. He said, "The monster has been dealt with by Susu."

"Wow!" Little Langze looked towards where Ayan was, "Brother Ayan, is this true?"

In fact, he also felt that, compared to that, the mud monster was not as scary as Su Su who lost her temper that night, so...

Did that giant monster make Susu angry?

A Yan looked down at the riverbed and said to them, "Do you see those three muddy mountains down there? And those small mounds of earth? Those are the bodies of monsters."

The two children couldn't help but look down, and then looked at Su Ci, imagining the scene of him fighting with the mud monster, and both children couldn't help but feel envious.

If only they were there at the time! I wonder how Su Su defeated that monster?

A Yan continued to tell them about these mud monsters, including their characteristics, reasons for their formation and weaknesses, and how to deal with them if they encountered them in the future.

After digesting what Su Shi taught him, he generously taught it to his two children.

Because A Yan knew that Su Su would definitely not be confined to Base 24 in the future. He would go out of the base and open up more land suitable for planting.

This also means that in the unknown future, these cubs will follow Susu's footsteps, leave the base, plant plants all over the wasteland in front of them, and may even enter the red fog to fight monsters.

In this case, the knowledge and experience of dealing with monsters must be taught to them slowly along with the knowledge of planting.

Looking at these two cubs who have full trust in him, A Yan also doesn't want them to get injured in the future while fighting monsters, so he can only try his best to improve their strength before that!

Both children listened very attentively.

Before, no one had ever told them about the monsters in the red fog. Every time extreme weather came, they would be sent back to the room as quickly as possible by their keepers and nanny robots.

Only a few times have I seen monsters.

But no one has any expectations for them. They are protected and guarded against, and no one thinks that they will fight monsters one day.

And now, listening to Brother Ayan's explanation, the two children had a feeling that perhaps in the future, they would really have the opportunity to face this kind of monster.

To be honest, they are a little bit afraid and nervous, but as the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. What they feel more is excitement and yearning.

Especially the little wolf cub, the environment he grew up in told him that he must master strength and become a powerful warrior. When faced with the experience of fighting the enemy taught by A Yan, he was naturally fascinated.

If he called A Yan brother before, it was just a sweet talk to follow the crowd and compromise for the sake of benefits, but now he truly regards A Yan as the boss.

A Yan didn't know this, and Su Ci, although he noticed something, was happy to see it happen.

Watching A Yan teaching seriously, there was no need to repeat what he had already said. For him, who was always lazy, this was really the most comfortable thing.

So, of course he was very supportive. When A Yan finished speaking and looked at him, Su Ci couldn't help but reach out and touch his furry ears with satisfaction.

A Yan narrowed his eyes happily - anyway, the two children couldn't see him, so he didn't need to maintain the image of an older brother all the time.

After A Yan finished his explanation, Su Ci took them and went to the place where he had just discovered the breath of life.

When they reappeared, they were already in the riverbed.

This place is located upstream, quite far from the middle section of the river where they were just now. Looking up, they can see the cliff at the uppermost reaches.

The wolf cub and the white deer observed the environment curiously, while Su Ci went straight to the target——

He looked down at a certain spot on the cliff, which was about one meter high and was blocked by several rocks. A gap could be vaguely seen.

Su Ci didn't do it himself, but called the little wolf over and asked him to move the stones away.

This was nothing to the energetic little wolf cub, but rather a good exercise. When he heard Su Ci's words, he rushed over without thinking.

The little white deer also wanted to help, but unfortunately he was too weak. The stone that the little wolf cub could easily move, he could only move a little bit with all his strength.

Seeing this, A Yan also secretly tried it, and then he felt more intuitively the power gap between them.

Thinking of Susu's feat of easily picking up the spider's leg, A Yan was silent for a while, and finally could only comfort himself in his heart that at least, he was stronger than the little white deer, and was not the worst among the cubs. He still had a lot of room for improvement in the future.

After all the stones were moved away, the little wolf cub lay on the cliff and stared at the crack in the stone wall.

This crack in the rock is about ten centimeters wide, and is filled with slightly damp mud. In the mud, there seems to be something curled up, and its withered yellow color has merged with the mud.

Little Langze couldn't tell what it was, so he turned around and looked at Su Ci: "Su Su, are you looking for this thing?"

Su Ci nodded and asked him to dig out the entire piece of mud, then transfer it to an empty can and pour some spiritual water into it.

After the silt melted, the plants wrapped in it revealed their full appearance.

This plant is probably only the size of a baby's fist, with curled leaves. The whole plant is withered and yellow, without even a hint of green. It looks more like a dried specimen than a plant.

Not to mention Xiao Langze and Xiao Lujiao, even A Yan couldn't tell that it was a plant.

"Susu, what is this?" Xiao Langze asked.

"Selaginella." Su Ci said.

"Selaginella?" The little white deer guessed after hearing the name, "Is this a plant?"

"That's right." Su Ci nodded.

"Plants? Aren't plants green?" Little Langze asked in surprise, "Is it dead?"

Looking at this withered and yellow mass, he really couldn't associate it with plants, and he didn't feel any breath of life.

Su Ci was also very emotional, because the life breath of this Selaginella was even weaker than that of the small weed yesterday, almost to the point where it was imperceptible. Even Su Ci could not confirm whether this Selaginella could survive.

but……

"Selaginella, also known as the immortal grass," Su Ci recalled, "was also known in ancient times as the grass that brings back the dead nine times. This is because even after withering, it can still revive under the right conditions. Its tenacity is rare in the world."

"Wow, so amazing!" little Langze exclaimed.

Su Ci nodded. He looked at the dead grass floating in the can of spiritual water, hoping that it could really come back to life.

He temporarily handed the can to the two children for safekeeping, then activated his spiritual sense again and began to patrol the dry riverbed again.

The discovery of this Selaginella greatly excited Su Ci.

Even if no other plants are found in this section of the river, it doesn't matter, because he believes that there must be native life on Earth in other places.

But this also means that he has to speed up his pace. Those lives are probably struggling between life and death. The faster he finds them, the more chance they have of survival.

Finally, Su Ci found a few red mosses in a low-lying muddy area. They were gathered together and were smaller than a fingernail.

If Su Ci hadn't been so careful, it would have been difficult to discover them.

Then, no matter how hard Su Ci searched, he could not find any other signs of life in the riverbed.

Su Ci was not discouraged. Being able to find these three plants was already a blessing in disguise. There was really no need to ask for more.

He gave the cubs the same handful of moss, then led them to the center of the riverbed and looked down at his feet.

A Yan could vaguely guess what Su Ci wanted to do, but the two cubs didn't understand. They each held a can of spiritual water and looked at him curiously.

Little Langze was the first to lose control and was about to ask when he saw the young man lift his foot and slam it hard on the riverbed.

“Crack, crack, crack!!!”

The hard and dry riverbed shattered as he stomped his foot, leaving bottomless cracks all around.

A crack appeared right under their feet.

Little Langze and Little White Deer were startled and thought they would fall into the crack. They screamed subconsciously, but they did not feel the falling.

They were suspended in mid-air, standing steadily, as if something transparent was supporting them under their feet.

This realization filled the two children with surprise.

They grew bolder, carefully holding the can of spiritual water. They then looked down at the deep crevice beneath their feet. The crackling sound continued, seemingly extending deeper into the earth. No one knew how deep it would go...

Finally, little Langze saw something and exclaimed, "Something is coming up!"

Something surged from the ground, and finally, when it reached the highest point of the crack, it erupted—

It's underground river water!

The little wolf cub and the little white deer subconsciously closed their eyes, however, the river water did not spray on their faces. The water flow obviously had a strong impact, but it could not shake the light shield that enveloped them at all.

They opened their eyes and watched in amazement as the river water gushed out from the cracks, irrigating the entire riverbed. As the water level rose, it eventually submerged them in water.

Of course, the surging river water could not penetrate their light shield at all.

They were suspended in the water, lying on the light shield, watching the river water surging around them. Although they could not see anything clearly because of the turbid water, this did not affect their excitement at all.

I’ve learned a lot! I’ve learned a lot!

This is so much more fun than staying in the creche!

As the river water became more and more muddy and turbid, Su Ci had no interest in staying in the river, so he took his three children and quickly went to the river bank.

This time, looking down from the river bank, it was no longer a bare river channel, but a real river with surging water!

The little wolf cub and the little white deer looked at the surging river and felt the shock more intuitively, which could not be felt through images and videos.

As they looked at the river created by Su Ci, their admiration and longing for him grew stronger.

Will they be able to reach such heights one day?

The river water continued to rush to both sides, filling the river channel of more than a thousand meters. Finally, before reaching the waterfall mouth downstream, it did not rush down due to the accumulation of silt and insufficient momentum of the water flow.

Su Ci noticed this, and after some thought, he finally restrained himself and did not take action.

We must eat one bite at a time. We should first manage both sides of the river which is over a thousand meters long, and then continue to expand outwards. With the supply of water, I believe that this area will soon prosper.

Thinking of this, and seeing that it was getting late, Su Ci prepared to take the children back.

Little Langze and Little Bailu were obviously still unsatisfied, but after hearing Su Ci's words, they did not dare to force it anymore and could only hope that Su Su would take them out again next time.

So, each of them held a can of spiritual water and, under the leadership of Su Ci, returned to spacecraft No. 244H.

When I came back, Xiao Zhengxing had already woken up.

He had just woken up not long ago. The deep sleep had restored most of his overdrawn abilities, and he no longer felt tired. However...

Feeling the unfamiliar environment around him and analyzing the information obtained by his mental power, Xiao Zhengxing couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He only remembered that he was very sleepy, then Langze carried him on his back, and then he really fell asleep, and then... Xiao Zhengxing remembered.

The breeder brought him here.

Realizing this, he calmed down, and the metal ball in his arms also made him feel at ease.

After feeling relieved, he finally realized something. His eyes widened slightly, revealing a somewhat surprised expression. It seemed that he was... in a big thing.

Little Zhengxing put down the metal ball and moved around on the soft chair - in fact, the chair where he slept was the driver's seat.

When he had half moved his body, his two short legs were suspended in the air, and he stretched out his hands...

There was nothing in front of him, and he couldn't touch anything - because his hands were too short.

Xiao Zhengxing frowned, but was not discouraged.

He withdrew his hand and placed it on the armrest of the driver's seat. After observing it with his mental power, a faint blue light appeared in the palm of his hand.

When the light came on, the chair, which had been motionless, actually started to move by itself.

First he raised it up, then moved it forward, adjusting it to the most suitable height and distance. When the driver's seat stopped and changed, Xiao Zhengxing withdrew his hand reluctantly.

So fun!

Just like he usually likes to transform metal balls, the driver's seat is like a larger toy to him, which makes his little face show more joy and excitement.

Then, little Zhengxing placed his hands, which had nowhere to put, on the dashboard.

He stroked the control panel, and his mental power invaded it, observing and patrolling back and forth to obtain more and more detailed information.

Xiao Zhengxing was already certain that this was a machine even larger than a hover bus, and that it could be so large...

The only thing he could think of was the battleship.

With limited access, he didn't know the difference between a combat aircraft and a spaceship, but he felt that this machine should be similar to a combat aircraft, and...

Can also fly.

Little Zhengxing was eager to try. He turned his head and swept his mental power across the cockpit, and finally throughout the entire cabin, and confirmed one thing - the breeder was not there!

Although he didn't know where they went or why they left him here, Xiao Zhengxing didn't feel sad at all.

He likes to be alone, and this feeling makes him feel comfortable.

He turned his head again, and shook his little feet excitedly. Then, he put his little hands on the control panel, and light lit up in his palms.

So, when Su Ci brought A Yan and the others back to the spaceship, he saw an emergency notification pop up from the base's intelligent computer -

[Warning! Spaceship No. 244H is being launched. We have detected that the pilot is a minor. Keepers, please stop it as soon as possible!]

Su Ci looked at the lights that automatically lit up in the cabin, but he wasn't anxious. He just asked in confusion: "Can't you stop it?"

The spacecraft's system should be connected to the base's intelligent computer. Within the base, the intelligent computer should be able to perform some basic operations, such as preventing takeoff, which should be very simple.

The base's intelligent computer replied, "Cub Number Three has obtained access to Spaceship 244H."

It was clearly a mechanical voice without any emotion, but when A Yan listened to it, he didn't know why, he always felt that there seemed to be some sorrow in the tone of the intelligent computer.

Su Ci pretended not to hear and nodded in admiration.

His mechanical control ability comes from No. 3 itself. It is not surprising that a child can do this. Of course, he has such powerful abilities at such a young age, which can be called a genius.

If this ability were to erupt when his bloodline went berserk, it would probably cause horrific consequences for modern humans who rely heavily on machines.

No wonder little Zhengxing was sent to the nursery, but I wonder... does anyone know about his terrifying ability?

They probably don't know, right? Otherwise, given how reliant modern humans are on machinery, no one would be so confident in leaving the little Zhengxing in a nursery without any guidance or control, right?

While Su Ci was talking to the intelligent computer, the spaceship had begun to vibrate, and the dust accumulated on the outer shell fell off one after another.

If he doesn't stop it, this old plane that has been idle for many years will probably take off again.

It is hard to say whether it will fall apart during the launch process.

Su Ci flashed to the driver's seat and saw that the child placed in the driver's seat had woken up. At this moment, his hands were placed on the dashboard, and his cute little face was flushed with excitement and concentration.

He didn't seem to notice Su Ci's arrival, or perhaps, flying the spaceship was too difficult for him at the moment, so Xiao Zhengxing couldn't distract himself to pay attention to other things.

He faced the light screen, and the data flashed across it rapidly, creating light and shadows that shone on the child's face.

At this moment, little Zhengxing was in high spirits, without showing any sign of cowardice or retreat. People did not have the heart to interrupt him and just wanted him to play for a while longer.

But in the end, Su Ci still walked over and put his hand on the dashboard.

The light in Xiao Zhengxing's hand dissipated, and the spacecraft, which had been preheated and ready to take off, also lost power and once again landed steadily on the ground.

All visions disappeared.

Xiao Zhengxing was slightly stunned. Only then did he feel a dull pain in his head, and the world fell into darkness and nothingness again - he had overdrawn his mental strength again and could no longer obtain any information about his surroundings.

Fortunately, Su Ci stopped him in time, so he just reached the critical point and did not faint from the pain.

Xiao Zhengxing slowly turned his face towards Su Ci. Although he could not use his mental power to obtain information, he could feel the breath and gaze of the breeder.

The child withdrew his hand and lowered his head guiltily.

Looking at little Zhengxing, Su Ci shook his head helplessly. As expected, none of these children could be worry-free.

Of course, he didn't mean to blame Xiao Zhengxing. He acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Awake?"

Xiao Zhengxing pinched his fingers and hummed softly.

Su Ci's gentle revelation made him feel uneasy. After lowering his head almost to his chest, he timidly said in his childish voice, "I'm... I'm sorry..."

"No need to apologize."

Su Ci put his hand on his head, rubbed it hard, and then said seriously, "If you want to play, you can, but you must know the limit of your ability."

"I don't want to see that dangerous situation again."

Overdrawing mental strength and supernatural powers will not only harm the body, but it is also likely to induce a riot of blood power. This is very dangerous, so Su Ci said it very seriously.

"Got it?" he confirmed.

Seeing that the breeder didn't scold him, Xiao Zhengxing slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and bravely raised his head, nodded slightly, and responded softly: "Okay..."

Su Ci then withdrew his hand and carried him down from the driver's seat. "Let's go out and see the new plants we found."

As he led Xiao Zhengxing out of the cab, he heard the little wolf cub's cry, "Susu, come and see!"

Su Ci strode over and met the little wolf cub halfway with an incredible look on his face. The young man was holding a can of spiritual water and showing it to him like a treasure.

In the can of spiritual water, the Selaginella that had originally curled up into a ball, in such a short time, its dry and curled leaves actually stretched out in the water, showing new vitality.
