Chapter 109

Cen Liang was still confused, but after the little wolf cub finished his declaration, he couldn't wait to say, "So are we going to tear it down now?"

The boy's eyes were shining and his face was full of excitement. Even the little white deer who was helping Cen Liang to get up was led astray by him.

Tear down the greenhouse! Tear down the greenhouse!

Extreme weather could come at any time. If there were a sudden bloody rain or a snowstorm, the plants in the ground would definitely be doomed.

When the little white deer thought of this, he became extremely anxious and even woke up from nightmares at night.

And now, this problem seems to be solved!

He also looked at Cen Liang expectantly and said crisply, "Grandpa Cen, can I come with you? I want to help dismantle it, too!"

The silver-haired little boy was smart and cute, and spoke in a very gentle and soft voice, especially the call of "Grandpa Cen", which made Cen Liang's heart melt.

Although he wasn't old enough to have grandchildren, he had been away from his family on Prison Planet for years, and he hadn't seen his son and daughter in a long time...

Moreover, the cub just now took the initiative to help him up. It was really considerate and did not look like a child from a nursery at all.

However, the following sentence made Cen Liang's heart stagnate.

When on earth had he told them to tear down the greenhouse? Why would they have such a horrible idea?!

Cen Liang couldn't help but look at Su Ci. As a result, the breeder Su actually smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

Cen Liang: "..."

Help! How on earth did this misunderstanding arise?

What was even more frightening was that facing the three people's eager and expectant eyes, he found it difficult to say no... Was he really going to take them to the plantation to dismantle the greenhouse?

Cen Liang quickly shook his head and finally explained the misunderstanding after much persuasion.

But after listening to his explanation, the little wolf cub showed him a ferocious expression again, and even the little white deer, who had just looked well-behaved and friendly, had a tense face.

They stopped in front of the breeder and stared at him warily.

Feeling this different treatment, Cen Liang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

He looked at Su Ci and was about to say something else, but he heard him say, "I'm sorry, I have no plans to leave the nursery at the moment."

As soon as Su Ci finished speaking, the little wolf cub rushed to say, "Not now, not in the future!"

He wanted to say something else but Su Ci held his head down. He then closed his mouth reluctantly, but still glared at Cen Liang.

Cen Liang: "This..."

"I won't leave here, and neither will these plants." Su Ci said bluntly.

Cen Liang couldn't help but get anxious, "What if extreme weather comes?"

Su Ci shrugged.

At this moment, a light curtain popped up in front of Cen Liang.

[Intermediate Researcher Cen Liang, hello. The crops in the nursery belong to Apprentice Breeder Su Ci. They are the result of his research and are protected by the base regulations and Prison Star Management Regulations.]

[Your current behavior is suspected of illegally seizing other people's research results. The base's intelligent computer will monitor your words and actions. This is the first warning, please be aware.]

Cen Liang:......

He hasn't done anything yet! How could he be suspected of illegally seizing other people's research results?

However, when he saw the base's intelligent computer come forward, Cen Liang understood that either Su Ci's identity was really extraordinary, or the higher-ups already knew about this matter and attached great importance to it.

In short, no matter which situation it was, it meant that no one else in the base could touch the plants in the nursery, even if it was in the name of doing good for them...

As long as these Su breeders do not agree, he will not be able to transplant these green plants to the cultivation garden!

I don’t know if the head teacher knows about this?

Cen Liang looked at the warning given to him by the base's intelligent computer, his expression changed several times, and finally he could only nod.

"I understand." He said helplessly.

Of course, Cen Liang was unwilling to give up in his heart. As a researcher who had been able to persist in the harsh environment of Prison Star for so many years, what he lacked the most was perseverance and patience.

If a straight shot can't get the desired result, then the only way is to take a roundabout approach!

Thinking of this, he said shamelessly: "Do you need help? I am quite experienced in cultivating plants."

Cen Liang's initiative to recommend himself was exactly what Su Ci wanted.

Just as he was about to speak, Cen Liang continued, "Growing so many plants must require a lot of fertilizer, right? As a mid-level researcher, my monthly fertilizer allowance is quite substantial. If it's not enough, I can always exchange it with points..."

Cen Liang racked his brains to talk about his advantages, fearing that Su Ci would not agree to let him stay. In the end, he even wanted to contribute all the points he had accumulated.

It has to be said that these conditions really touched Su Ci's heart.

Points and fertilizer were two huge obstacles that once stumped Su Ci - of course, they have been solved now, but he doesn't think it's too much.

After all, his target is not just the small piece of land of the nursery, but the entire planet.

Of course, what moved him most among the conditions proposed by Cen Liang was——

"You said that the plantation's warehouse still has a batch of unused seeds stored for years?"

"right!"

Seeing that Su Ci was interested, Cen Liang hurriedly explained it to him.

It turns out that before truly understanding the situation on Prison Star, the Star Alliance planned to improve the quality of life of the soldiers defending Prison Star by transforming the planet's land.

When it comes to transforming planets, plants are naturally indispensable, so the plantation has prepared seeds of a variety of plants.

Unfortunately, the soil on Prison Star was not good enough, so the plantation was forced to focus on soilless cultivation techniques. Consequently, to save costs, they could only cultivate crops that could be harvested in the short term.

Other types of plant seeds do have uses, and that is to cultivate mutant plants.

However, the finances of the 24th Base have always been quite tight. Finally, due to insufficient funds, the nursery had no choice but to stop the mutant plant breeding project, so the remaining seeds were sealed up.

Su Ci nodded and asked, "Does that mean there are perennial plants among these seeds?"

Seeing that he was interested, Cen Liang couldn't help but cheer up.

He said hurriedly, "Theoretically, there should be, but I need to go back and confirm it."

After all, it has been sealed for many years, and whether the seeds remain active or not needs to be carefully checked, so he didn't dare to make a boast directly.

"If I have seeds from perennial plants that are still viable, I'll bring them to you."

These seeds are of no use anyway. With his status and authority in the nursery, he doesn't even need to apply for them and can just ask for them directly.

Su Ci smiled slightly, "Thank you for your help."

"No trouble, no trouble!" Cen Liang waved his hands repeatedly, then cast his gaze on the two small green sprouts with a scorching gaze, "As long as you agree to let me come over to help, and do some research records or something..."

Su Ci nodded. He was very generous about this. "As long as you don't harm the plants, the rest is up to you."

"That definitely won't happen, don't worry!" Cen Liang almost patted his chest to make the promise.

He was already taking good care of these two precious mutant green plants, so how could he possibly do anything to harm them?

It was the mutant garlic sprout in the plantation. They were also very cautious when doing research. The raw material for making "garlic perfume" before was also the nutrient solution soaked with the roots of the mutant garlic sprout.

Of course, the nutrients in the nutrient solution have been absorbed, leaving only a strong-smelling liquid.

But now, the mutant garlic sprout showed abnormal behavior. When he thought of this, Cen Liang's excitement slowly calmed down.

He looked at the green plants all over the ground, then looked at Su Ci, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Keeper Su, when are you free...why not come to the cultivation garden?"

Cen Liang didn't know what he was thinking. He actually made such a request to Su Ci. Logically speaking, Su Ci had just arrived on Prison Planet and shouldn't have done any in-depth research on mutant plants...

But thinking that this breeder Su was the first person to discover the mutant garlic sprouts, and now the land he opened up was not only full of green plants, but also had two more mutant plants, Cen Liang felt that this was unlikely to be a coincidence.

Of course, his words aroused the vigilance of the two cubs again.

"Bad grandpa, what do you want to do now?" Little Langze said angrily.

"No, no." Cen Liang explained quickly, "There's a problem with a mutant garlic seedling in the cultivation garden. I'd like to ask Keeper Su to go take a look."

Hearing this, little Langze couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He stole a glance at Su Ci, then looked at Cen Liang and said, "I don't believe it! Unless you take us with you!"

As he spoke, he tugged at the little white deer's sleeve again.

Xiaolu Jiao was confused for a moment, but quickly realized that if he went with them, not only could he prevent Susu from being snatched away by the people in the cultivation garden, but they could also go out and play!

I have to say, when it comes to things like this, Xiao Langze is really quick-witted!

"Yes, we should go together!" the little white deer echoed.

Cen Liang felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "This...this..."

If they behaved well, it wouldn't be a big deal to let them go, but the problem was, what if they went berserk in the greenhouse? They could literally tear the greenhouse apart!

However, Su Ci neither agreed nor refused, he just said: "Let's talk about it later."

The little garlic is in the metamorphosis period and can only rely on itself to get through this period. It will be useless even if he goes to see it.

Then, Su Ci ordered them to leave.

Although Cen Liang wanted to stay and continue looking at the plants and see how Su Ci managed to grow them successfully in the soil of Prison Star, it was already lunchtime and Su Ci had no intention of keeping him for lunch.

Cen Liang could only follow Su Ci and the cubs, looking back every few steps as they left the green land.

In front of the nursery building, he wanted to say something to Su Ci, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of something and Cen Liang was stunned.

On the second floor of the nursery building, a tiger head popped out of the window, with its two paws resting on the windowsill, looking down at him.

“That…that is…”

Cen Liang's hands were shaking as he pointed tremblingly at the little tiger that was sticking its head out to look out.

The crimson markings looked like burning flames. If he was not mistaken, this seemed to be the characteristic of the Red Flame Tiger, one of the ten most ferocious beasts?

Cen Liang was filled with fear, but Keeper Su only glanced at him indifferently. Before he could say anything, the little wolf cub beside him said, "Wow, is that number two?"

"Yes, it's number two." Su Ci nodded calmly, "His name is Ran Lie now."

"Ran Lie..." Xiao Lujiao read it again and couldn't help asking, "Does he have a nickname?"

Su Ci paused slightly, then said softly, "I forgot."

Little White Deer didn't dwell on it. He remembered that he hadn't seen Number Two since that night. He hadn't expected him to have completely transformed into a beast...

He had always been afraid that they would eat him after they had fully transformed into beasts. However, now, looking at the red flame tiger lying on the window and looking down, he had no fear at all.

All he could think about was how Number Two had saved him.

"He seems to be in the activity room. Can I go see him?" The little white deer looked up and asked Su Ci.

Su Ci nodded, "Go ahead."

With Su Ci's affirmation, the little white deer felt more confident. He smiled lightly and ran towards the main entrance of the nursery building.

Little Langze, who was originally listening to their conversation, didn't expect that the one who would run early this time would be Xiao Lujiao. He quickly carried Xiao Zhengxing on his back and chased after him.

"Yo yo, wait for me!"

"Hurry up!"

Watching the three children running away, Cen Liang looked at the second floor again. He saw the Red Flame Tiger which had already retracted its head, and couldn't help swallowing.

"Keeper Su, no... don't call the action team. Is it really... okay?"

"Need not."

Su Ci said, "It's just that his body has transformed into a beast, but his sanity is still there, so he's fine."

Although the young man's words had the power to soothe people, Cen Liang couldn't remain calm when he thought about the rumors about the little monster in the nursery and the legend about the Red Flame Tiger.

This time, he no longer wanted to stay in the nursery. After confirming that Su Ci really did not intend to call the action team to deal with it, Cen Liang quickly slipped away.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the nursery and getting on the hover bus.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he felt, so he sent another message to Yan Ping. However, Yan Ping only replied with "I know" and there was no follow-up.

Cen Liang had no choice but to trust the team leader. After turning off the communicator, his mind couldn't help but revisit the green plants growing on the land of Prison Star, as well as those two special little spiritual sprouts...

"Why!"

Cen Liang felt like he really couldn't understand this breeder, Su. He clearly seemed to value those plants, but when he asked him to transplant them to the greenhouse in the cultivation garden, he refused...

What if there is a sudden extreme weather?

The more Cen Liang thought about it, the more anxious he became. Finally, he couldn't help but call Luo Shengfei.

"Want to build another greenhouse?" Luo Shengfei heard his request and shook his head. "We're out of materials. Submit an application and go through the process and have the purchasing department buy it."

Cen Liang also shook his head. Even if the process went smoothly, it would take three months for the spacecraft to arrive immediately! Not to mention having to wait for other goods—

After all, it is not easy to travel back and forth between the stars. It is impossible for them to only send you materials for building a greenhouse. They must come with other urgently needed materials.

This delay would take several months. He could wait, but the plants in the field couldn't!

"That's all I can do." Luo Shengfei spread his hands. "But does the plantation need a new greenhouse? I heard so many greenhouses are closed and unused."

In order to cultivate the mutant garlic sprouts and allow them to successfully pass the differentiation period and become multi-clove garlic, the nursery reduced its planting plan and used the nutrient solution for other crops to be used for the mutant garlic sprouts, which naturally led to part of the greenhouse being idle.

Cen Liang also remembered this.

He thought about it and realized that if he really had to, he could really demolish the greenhouse in the nursery?

So, he confirmed with Luo Shengfei: "If the greenhouse is dismantled, can it be rebuilt?"

Luo Shengfei: "..."

Why does this sound so familiar?

Nursery, second floor staircase.

Little Langze, carrying little Zhengxing on his back, wanted to continue rushing towards the activity room, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by little Lu Jiao who was running in front.

"Langze, I'll go over first." The little white deer said, "You and Xingxing go have dinner."

"Why?" Little Langze was puzzled.

"Number Two... Ran Lie has completely transformed into a beast. I don't know if he still recognizes people. Your relationship wasn't very good before." The little white deer said, "Let me go and take a look and confirm the situation first."

Little Langze couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when he thought of No. 2's bad temper.

He couldn't beat No. 2 when he went crazy, not to mention that he is now completely transformed into a beast. In addition to the red flame, his physical fitness must have increased exponentially!

He couldn’t win… He was afraid that he would be lying down once the tiger’s claws came down.

Little Langze couldn't help but say, "Okay, but is it okay for you to be alone?"

"Yeah!" Little White Deer nodded, "Susu also agreed just now."

"Too."

With Su Ci's agreement, Xiao Langze felt that nothing could go wrong, so he nodded and said, "Then Xingxing and I will go eat first, and you should go back soon."

"OK."

So, Xiaolu Jiao turned around and continued walking forward.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw the figure of the Red Flame Tiger walking out of the activity room.

It doesn't walk fast, and its strolling posture carries a natural aura. It looks lazy, but no one dares to underestimate it.

The red flame tiger also noticed the little boy. It turned its head to look at him, with a look of scrutiny in its eyes, and then walked towards him step by step.

Facing such a ferocious beast, Xiaolu Jiao couldn't help but feel nervous, but...

He found that the Red Flame Tiger seemed to have become smaller?

Although it was still taller than him, it was not as scary as it was that night. It felt like its whole body had shrunk, which effectively soothed the little white deer's panic.

He stood there waiting for the Red Flame Tiger to approach, his eyes always observing it.

The more details he discovered through calm observation soothed his uneasiness. The little white deer looked at the red flame tiger that came before him and said, "Number Two."

The Red Flame Tiger stopped and looked at him with a slightly puzzled look.

Ran Lie did find it very strange.

How had he not noticed Number Seven's courage before? How could he remain so calm in the face of a completely beastly being?

To be honest, from the perspective of the Red Flame Tiger, the little white deer looked really small in Ran Lie's eyes, petite and fragile, as if it would break at the slightest touch.

Ran Lie subconsciously took a step back.

The Red Flame Tiger retreated, but the little boy walked forward. His blue-black eyes stared at the Red Flame Tiger, clear and somewhat intimate. He said, "Su Su said that your name is Ran Lie now."

Ran Lie nodded, his mouth tightly shut.

He is the majestic Red Flame Tiger, there is no way he would meow in front of Number Seven!

"I also have a name, Lu Jiao."

The little white deer said with a smile, "The deer is like the deer of the silver elk, and as bright as the moon between the clouds. I also have a nickname, Yoyo."

oh.

Ran Lie responded in his heart.

He glanced at the little white deer's smile, then looked away and continued walking towards the stairwell.

It seems that Number Seven has been doing well during the few days he was in a coma...

When the little white deer saw the red-flame tiger leave, he hurried to catch up. He followed it closely and asked, "Do you have a nickname?"

What is that? Ran Lie frowned.

"A nickname is given to people close to you." said the little white deer.

The Red Flame Tiger's ears moved.

"You can call me Yoyo." The little white deer continued, "What's your nickname?"

Ran Lie stopped and looked back at him.

He didn't have a nickname, but...was it someone close to him? Were he and Number Seven close?

Ran Lie knew that Number Seven had always been afraid of him and didn't really recognize him as the boss, so what was he doing now?

Although he had thought about taking Number Seven to live in the Red Mist, that was because Number Seven's ability could help him, and he never thought that he and Number Seven would be "close friends."

Thinking of this, Ran Lie raised his tiger eyes and stared at the little white deer with a frown. His eyes revealed power and intimidation, as if he would pounce on him and attack him in the next second.

Ran Lie thought he would see the little boy's face pale and frightened, but after a long while, the little white deer still had a smile on his face.

Under his gaze, the little boy smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Lielie, okay?"

Lielie? What the hell is that?

Ran Lie lost his composure in a second, revealing a look of disgust, and at the same time felt very confused. Could it be that Number Seven was really not afraid of him now?

Regarding this issue...

Although Ran Lie felt that his performance just now must have been very scary, and most people could not withstand the close gaze of the Red Flame Tiger, however, he did not know that -

After facing Su Su who was woken up and experiencing the real terror, the little white deer's psychological threshold can be said to have increased by more than a little bit.

He would have been frightened before, but now he...

When the Red Flame Tiger was staring at him just now, the little white deer was thinking -

The red flame tiger looks so cute with its fur! After shrinking it down, it feels like an oversized plush toy. I really want to touch it!

Of course, as rational as Xiaolu Jiao was, he still controlled his inappropriate thoughts.

At this time, the little white deer spoke again.

"Lielie, can't you speak?" he asked.

Ran Lie: “…”

When did I agree to this nickname? You just saw that I couldn't speak right now, right?!

-

On the third floor, in dormitory No. 303.

Not only did he gain an experienced helper, but he also solved the seed problem of perennial plants in one fell swoop. Su Ci was in a good mood and couldn't help but eat a little more at lunch.

However, when he finished his meal contentedly and was about to take a nap, he received an unexpected message.

[Administrative Office - Guo Hui]: Keeper Su, please come to the administrative building around 5:00 PM.

[Cub Nursery-Su Ci]: Is there anything wrong?

Su Ci replied, and the other party replied:

New pups have arrived.
