Chapter 127

Across the river, standing on a flying saucer, was a tall and strong man wearing the dark red uniform of the action team with the number "26" printed on the back.

On the nameplate on his chest were written the three words "Yun Zixu".

This is the captain of the action team from Base 26. Base 24 was also very surprised by his sudden visit.

The purpose of Captain Yun's visit was naturally for the bottle of "garlic perfume" that Cen Liang had given him before. After subsequent investigation and Fan Hao's report, Base 26 already knew about the existence of this mutant garlic.

Moreover, Base 24 has developed a weapon from this mutated garlic that can effectively deal with the red fog monster.

Although the smell is pungent, it is not a disadvantage compared to the risk of getting injured or even dying in a battle with monsters.

The top management of Base 26 naturally contacted the Plantation Garden of Base 24 as soon as possible, but unfortunately they did not get a satisfactory reply, and the response from Base 24 was very slow, which showed that there was no intention of cooperation.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the director of the 26th Base Cultivation Garden decided to go there in person so that any needs and difficulties could be made clear in person.

In short, when it comes to this "garlic perfume", the 26th base is a must-have.

The captain of the 26th Base Action Team, Yun Zixu, also personally escorted the director here. However, after the spaceship docked, Yun suddenly left the team and headed east of the base to investigate.

When Yan Ping received the news, it was too late for him to stop it, so he could only chase while sending a letter to Su Ci.

"Keeper Su...are you over there on the river?"

After observing for a few days, Yan Ping summed up a pattern: there would always be some movement in the river between nine and eleven in the morning.

He guessed that it must be this hidden boss who was active there, and now it just happened to be at this time.

"Um."

Sure enough, he heard the young man's calm response.

Yan Ping took a deep breath, explained the current situation, and then waited anxiously for Su Ci's reaction.

If this big boss's activities on the river were discovered, would he be upset? Although he had tried his best to restrain his men from exploring the east direction of the base, today's situation was indeed beyond his expectations.

However, Su Ci's voice was still as flat and lazy as before: "It's okay, let him come over."

Su Ci never thought that his activities outside the base could be completely hidden from these humans. After all, with the continuous expansion of land transformation, as long as these humans were not blind, they would definitely find out.

Since it will be discovered sooner or later, let it go.

"That……"

Yan Ping paused, feeling like there was nothing else to say, "Okay, I understand."

Then, seeing that Su Ci really had nothing else to add, he ended the call and stepped on the flying saucer to increase his flying speed.

Soon he left Base 24 and gradually approached the river. From a distance, he saw Yun Zixu's figure hovering above the river.

Yan Ping breathed a sigh of relief and flew over quickly.

He was about to speak, but when he actually caught a glimpse of the river and the scenery on the opposite bank, Yan Ping was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Compared to what he remembered, the river channel had undergone tremendous changes.

The dry riverbed is no longer visible, replaced by clear river water with a slightly green tint. There are also large schools of fish swimming in the river. Faintly, you can see water plants growing on the bottom of the river, and the fish are swimming freely among the water plants.

On the other side of the river, you can see a little bit of green spreading on the yellow-brown wasteland, and the originally dry and barren soil has become moist.

Of course, the most shocking thing is the red fog that completely blocks the other side of the river.

It was as if there was a natural barrier standing there, isolating the thick red fog on the other side of the river. Perhaps it was for this reason, but Yan Ping felt that the air here was particularly fresh.

Just standing here, he felt a sense of relaxation all over his body, and all the negative emotions that had accumulated in his heart in the past seemed to be swept away with his breath.

This is really... so shocking!

Yun Zixu also noticed Yan Ping's arrival.

He turned around, the surprise on his face had not yet completely subsided, and when he saw Yan Ping, his expression became complicated again.

"Captain Yan, your 24th Base... has actually achieved such great research results?" He couldn't help but say, with a tone full of emotion.

Among the existing 36 bases on Prison Star, Base 24 can be said to be very special. There is no prison here, only two special institutions - the research institute and the nursery.

Not to mention the Nursery, the Research Institute has long been the focus of attention from other bases. After all, the research on the Prison Star, whether it is empirical summary or technological output, can effectively improve the defenders' strength in fighting monsters.

However, the institute has not produced anything constructive for a long time.

These scientists, who never leave their homes, rely heavily on the data collected by the base's intelligent computers, but few dare to go out for investigation and face monsters directly.

You have to know that each base is located in a different geographical location, and the monsters they face are naturally different. Relying on the garrisons of each base to capture monsters and send them as samples to the 24th base is very dangerous and unrealistic.

Therefore, the data obtained by the research institute has a serious lag and is not as reliable as the experience they have gained from facing monsters and fighting life and death battles.

Of course, Yun Zixu also knew that the main research direction of this group of scientists was not to deal with monsters.

After all, interstellar monsters are still monsters. There is no need for them to come to Prison Star and endure such a harsh environment. What they are optimistic about is that the red fog of Prison Star will prompt warriors to awaken their superpowers.

However, they have heard about their achievements over the years, and the awakening of warriors' abilities is still full of randomness. Therefore, it is difficult for Yun Zixu to have any good impression of the research institute of Base 24.

However, Yun Zixu did not expect that he would see such an inspiring scene when he came here this time.

Base 24 actually developed a method to isolate the red fog on a large scale, and even successfully planted green plants on the land of Prison Star, and even raised fish in the water!

Such progress can be described as rapid and rapid.

As long as the method of isolating the red fog can be applied on a large scale, it will definitely greatly weaken the monster's strength!

The development of planting and breeding industries can also greatly improve the quality of life of the defenders and transfer financial funds from logistical supplies to more important areas.

For example, weapons and equipment, and base construction, this is also a disguised way to enhance the strength of the base defenders!

Yun Zixu looked at Yan Ping, his eyes full of passion. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I sensed some unusual fluctuations here, so I came over to investigate without permission."

Although he said sorry, his face was full of "it was worth the trip".

Yan Ping could only smile bitterly, but to be honest, even he himself was still in shock, let alone Yun Zixu.

only……

His mental power swept across the riverbank, but he didn't find the figure of the breeder Su. Could he be on the other side of the river? He looked at the other side, but found nothing.

What's going on? Has Sue the breeder returned?

Just as Yan Ping was looking out, he saw Yun Zixu riding a flying saucer and preparing to go to the other side of the river. Yan Ping frowned and stopped him directly.

"Captain Yun, it may not be convenient for you to go over there." He said bluntly.

The two of them were of the same rank, and because the guard army was not strong, Yan Ping, the captain of the operations team, had more say in the 24th base, so he was not very polite to Yun Zixu.

Yun Zixu said with a smile, "A Ping, don't be so stingy. We are classmates after all, and there are only two of us here... Please do me a favor and let me see the new technology of your base!"

It was strange that the 24th Base had no guards at such an important place, allowing him to march straight in... But when he thought about the fact that the 24th Base had always been short of manpower, he felt relieved.

Yun Zixu reached out and patted Yan Ping's shoulder, acting like a good brother, but in the end Yan Ping coldly patted his hand away.

"Please come back with me. Everyone is waiting for you to come back. Don't forget the real purpose of your visit to Base 24 this time." Yan Ping said expressionlessly.

Yun Zixu: “…”

Well, there were threats.

They came to Base 24 this time for the garlic perfume and the mutant garlic. If something unpleasant happened right after they arrived, he would not be able to explain to his brothers.

"Okay, let's go back."

Yun Zixu glanced at the red fog barrier across the river bank again, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze. If he had known earlier, he should not have stopped but rushed over to check.

Of course, he didn't give up completely.

"So, what is this new technology? What stage has it reached in research? When will it be widely promoted? When the first batch is tested, don't forget Base 26. We are good brothers!"

Yun Zixu patted Yan Ping's shoulder again, trying to get closer to him.

Yan Ping did not avoid it either. He listened to Yun Zixu's words and didn't know how to respond for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "This wasn't made by the research institute."

Yun Zixu was stunned and asked in confusion: "If it's not a research institute, then where did this technology come from?"

"This is confidential, you don't have the authority to know." Yan Ping shook his head. If he wasn't worried that the boss would be angry if he knew that he attributed the credit to the research institute, he wouldn't even say that.

"Anyway, let's go back first." Yan Ping said calmly, "If there is a chance for cooperation in the future, I will not forget your No. 26 Base."

Of course, the prerequisite is that the big boss is willing to share the technology.

Yan Ping was now completely unable to guess Su Ci's identity, but his intuition told him that it would never be wrong to remain respectful and respectful, and this was also the attitude one should adopt when facing a strong person.

Yun Zixu didn't ask any further questions. He smiled again and said, "I feel relieved with your words. Let's go back!"

"Please don't spread anything you see here."

"Hahaha, no problem..."

The figures of the two gradually flew away. On the opposite bank of the river, Su Ci stood on the shore, looking at them and listening to their conversation.

From beginning to end, the strong men from the two human bases did not discover the existence of him and the two cubs.

"They didn't seem to see us?" Ran Lie said hesitantly.

"Well, we are invisible." A Yan replied.

"If they find this place...it doesn't matter?" Ran Lie frowned, subconsciously not wanting this place to be discovered and occupied by the people in the base.

After all, this place was transformed by Susu!

"It's okay." Su Ci shook his head, "Don't worry about it."

His goal is to restore vitality to the earth. Although he can ignore the time cost, if the human race is willing to join in and help speed up the process, why should he turn them away?

Of course, if the intention is to cause damage, that cannot be tolerated.

Thinking of this, Su Ci couldn't help but touch his chin.

The cultivation garden at Base 26...seems quite capable. I might consider developing it after observing it.

Of course, the specific development method still needs to be planned.

Thinking of this, Su Ci withdrew his gaze, stretched lazily and walked towards the teleportation array, while signaling A Yan and Ran Lie to follow.

As Ran Lie watched him walk towards the teleportation array, he couldn't help but think of the almost tragic experience he had yesterday when facing the giant spider, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

However, he finally shook his head, got rid of those weak emotions, and quickly caught up with the breeder.

Although yesterday's training process was terrifying and he could lose his life at any time in the battle with the giant spider, it was precisely because of this that his potential was stimulated at the critical moment of life and death. He had never used the power of red flame as smoothly as yesterday.

Looking back now, besides the fear and thrill, there was also another feeling of exhilaration.

Ran Lie wanted to experience it again.

What's more, the results of yesterday's training were also very significant. Not only did he briefly turn back into human form, but after the power of the red flame returned, even though he was completely transformed into a beast, he was able to speak!

The feeling of actually seeing his own strength improve is simply amazing. How could he refuse?

Sure enough, when the light of the teleportation array disappeared, they arrived at the Demon Flower Valley.

During the transmission, Ran Lie was still very nervous, but when he really got here, he became eager to try, because he believed that he could definitely last longer today than yesterday!

Su Ci did not disappoint him. He pointed at the entrance of the giant spider's cave and said, "Your goal today is to hold on for ten minutes."

The Red Flame Tiger's eyes widened slightly. Did it just... double? Fine, he accepted the challenge!

Seeing his high morale, Su Ci nodded and said, "Go ahead by yourself. I won't be here to protect you today."

He raised his wrist and pointed to the time on the communicator, "When you get started, I'll set an alarm. When the ten-minute countdown is over, I'll pick you up."

"So, you have to survive for more than ten minutes."

Ran Lie's psychological pressure suddenly increased. After all, he subconsciously knew that the breeder was watching nearby and would definitely not let anything happen to him.

However, the breeder now told him that if he didn't hold on for ten minutes, he would really die!

The Red Flame Tiger swallowed its saliva, dug its claws into the ground and scratched it a few times. Finally, Ran Lie made up his mind.

If this is the only way to control the red flame, then he must try it no matter what.

Anyway, he had previously planned to live in the red fog, so the battle with monsters was inevitable. The red fog was so dangerous, and he had also imagined that he would die in the red fog.

If he failed in his challenge to the giant spider and died, at least he would have maintained his rationality before dying, instead of becoming a beast without any personality or thoughts.

A raging fighting spirit burned in the Red Flame Tiger's eyes, and the red flame power emanating from his body seemed to become even hotter and purer, exuding an extremely strong and fierce aura, which was very consistent with the Golden Gang Palm technique.

If he combined palm techniques with practice at this time, it would definitely have very good results.

Su Ci nodded secretly, thinking that perhaps after returning today, he could also teach this set of palm techniques to Ran Lie.

Watching the Red Flame Tiger step by step towards the giant spider's nest, A Yan couldn't help but look at Su Ci and asked, "Su Su, are you really not going to watch him?"

"It's okay, I won't die."

Su Ci turned his head, looked at the Demon Flower Valley, and began to think about how to transform it.

On the other side, Ran Lie had already arrived at the entrance of the giant spider's cave. He observed it carefully, and then followed the keeper's example, rolling up a stone with his tail and throwing it into the cave.

Soon, a series of subtle noises could be heard from the giant spider's nest, and pairs of red insect eyes appeared at the dimly lit entrance of the cave.

Ran Lie's heart tightened. Just as he was about to meet the enemy,...

The pairs of eyes that appeared in the dark corners of the cave disappeared even faster than they appeared—the giant spiders that had rushed in with such momentum just now fled in panic.

Ran Lie: “…”

Why did they all run away? He was a little dumbfounded.

So what about his training mission today?

He stared at the giant spider's nest and challenged again: "Meow--"

The little tiger's tender cry sounded fierce and ferocious, and it seemed that it was easy to bully. It successfully made the giant spider that turned to flee stop.

However, the strong and hot breath emanating from the Scarlet Flame Tiger still aroused the fear in their hearts. In the end, the giant spider did not leave the nest, and of course did not continue to escape.

They lingered at the entrance of the cave and watched cautiously.

Ran Lie frowned, pursed his lips, and quickly made up his mind.

Since they don't want to come out, then he'll go in!

Therefore, the Red Flame Tiger did not hesitate at all and immediately ran wildly towards the deep cave.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

The angry screams of the giant spiders echoed one after another in the nest. The Red Flame Tiger's behavior obviously angered them.

A battle then broke out in the cave.

Before the giant spider's attack arrived, Ran Lie had already spewed out flames. With yesterday's experience in fighting the enemy and his own excellent fighting talent, he did not blindly use the red flames on a large scale like the first time.

Admittedly, it felt good to spit without any care, but he couldn't keep fighting that way.

Selectively using the Red Flame according to the battle situation also invisibly improved his control over the Red Flame and developed it in a more refined direction.

Su Ci took the time to take a quick look with his spiritual sense, and when he discovered that the little tiger knew how to fight with his brain, he couldn't help but show a hint of relief.

Fortunately, the Buddhist tradition is not at risk of being buried, and he believes that Ran Lie can successfully embark on this path.

Of course, according to the traditional Buddhist style of asceticism, it would be difficult for the little tiger who loves meat to meet the standards of those bald men.

Su Ci shrugged, calmly withdrew his spiritual consciousness, and then began to set up a magic circle at the entrance of the Demon Flower Valley.

It is still a combination of the purification array and the spirit gathering array. The sea of ​​flowers in the Magic Flower Valley itself has the function of attracting resentment. As long as a purification barrier is set up at the entrance of the valley, the red fog entering the Magic Flower Valley can be transformed into spiritual energy.

The mixture of spiritual energy and resentment can continuously reduce the concentration of the red fog in the Magic Flower Valley, allowing the magic plants to have a process of adaptation and transformation.

After all, these demonic plants have long been integrated with the resentment and rely on it to survive. If they are directly transformed into an spiritual environment, they will probably wither and die soon.

This is not what Su Ci wants to see, so there needs to be a process.

A Yan has now mastered the purification array and the spirit gathering array. With his help, Su Ci's work has become much easier.

They were busy at the entrance of the Demon Flower Valley, while the little Red Flame Tiger was fighting in the giant spider's nest.

A Yan was carving the formation seriously, but as time went by, he gradually became hesitant to speak.

He looked in the direction of the giant spider's nest, then looked at Su Ci, and finally couldn't help but say: "Su Su, do you really not need to worry about Lie Lie?"

Now……

Twenty minutes have already passed!

Su Ci casually clapped his hands and activated the formation carved on the stone wall - because the entrance to the Demon Flower Valley was narrow, he did not need to set up as many formations as he did for the river bank barriers.

Only then did he look at the giant spider's nest again and nodded: "It's almost there."

So the next moment, he took A Yan into the giant spider's lair and rescued the young man, who had completely recovered his human form and was only relying on his melee strength to hold on, from the encirclement of thousands of spiders.

"Susu, you are finally here..."

The red-haired boy was covered in wounds, but he did not lose consciousness completely like he did yesterday. He leaned in Su Ci's arms, whispering weakly.

"Yeah, not bad."

Su Ci was not stingy with his praise. Ran Lie's performance today was indeed remarkable, and although his body looked scary, it was actually just flesh wounds, with no serious injuries.

He fed the boy two mouthfuls of magic flower nectar, but did not use his soul power to repair him.

This is a process of repeated tempering. He cannot take shortcuts. Only by enduring the pain of hard training on his own again and again can he truly gain powerful strength.

After Su Ci packed him up briefly, they returned to the nursery together and handed Ran Lie to the care of the nanny robot just like yesterday.

When he arrived at the green space, Luo Shengfei had also arrived and was operating a machine to remove all the metal floors around the nursery building, revealing the bare and barren land underneath.

When the cubs saw Su Ci coming, they all came over to greet him.

"Susu, look! There are so many fruits!"

"There are also flowers. Yingcuidou and Yuxue are blooming too. They are so beautiful!"

The children chattered and shared their joy with him. It was obviously very noisy, but for some reason, Su Ci didn't feel annoyed.

He looked up at the rope net full of fruits, and thought of what A Yan had said before about the greatest hope for these cubs.

Su Ci lowered his head, curled his lips slightly, looked at the cubs and said, "I'll open the windows of your rooms when Xiao Luo finishes his work."

Before the cubs could be stunned by the sudden surprise, they heard the breeder continue, "Of course, I will take a look at your growth diaries first. Today, priority will be given to the cubs who have completed them diligently."

Xiao Zhengxing, who had originally looked up at this side, suddenly stiffened and then slowly lowered his head.
