Chapter 162
"Xiaoya, what's wrong?"
Li Sinian stopped and, like Yan Ya, stared at the image on the screen.
His attention had previously been basically on Xuewei, with a small part attracted by the red flame tiger. Now, because of his wife's abnormality, he began to pay attention to the other cubs.
Soon, he noticed the little girl sitting next to Xuewei.
The little girl was very cute, with long flaxen curly hair that was beautifully styled. She had her hair braided into several small braids and tied behind her head, with a sunflower hairpin pinned on the side of her hair.
She sat next to Xuewei, eating with a smile on her face, which could melt people's hearts. Even Li Sinian, who was always iron-blooded and cold-blooded, felt that something in his heart was touched.
If his little daughter were still alive... she would probably be as cute as this child, right?
Unfortunately, she left him forever before she could see the scenery of this world and enjoy his love as a father.
When Li Sinian thought of his daughter, his heart ached again. He forced himself to look away and his gaze fell on the boy next to the little girl.
They have a very close relationship.
Judging from their hair of the same color, their cat-like ears, and their somewhat similar faces, they should be siblings.
The young boy sat upright and behaved very calmly, but when he looked at his sister, his expression softened. He took care of his sister from time to time, and his movements were very skillful.
Looking at the brother and sister, Li Sinian felt as if his heart skipped a beat.
He knew what Yan Ya was looking at.
This brother and sister… their hair and eye color were so similar to the two children they had lost! Even their faces, although the image wasn't particularly high-definition, were still vaguely recognizable.
"Yangyang... sweet..."
Li Sinian murmured the two children's nicknames, and Yan Ya, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but tremble all over.
She looked at her husband and said with shock and ecstasy, "You think they look alike too, right? They are Yangyang and Tiantian, right?"
Seeing her excitement, Li Sinian quickly reached out and hugged her. Her body had not actually fully recovered yet. She had not rested well during the interstellar journey, so she was still a little weak.
Being interrupted by her like this, he also came back to his senses from his previous trance. He looked at his wife who was full of surprise and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Ya, their ages are not right."
It has been ten years since they lost their child.
Of the two children, the oldest one looks like he is less than ten years old, not to mention the little girl, who looks like a baby of only a few years old.
After he said this, Yan Ya came back to her senses from her excitement and looked at the image on the screen again.
She stared at the two children infatuatedly. Her mind clearly told her that these two children should not be hers, but deep down, there was a voice in her heart calling out anxiously.
This is her child!
This is her child!
Yan Ya's face was filled with pain and sadness. She bit her lips tightly. Suddenly, she seemed to discover something. She pointed at the light curtain and said, "Look at that little boy, his tail!"
Li Sinian looked in the direction she pointed and saw a long, thin tail with a bunch of fluff at the tip of the little boy's tail.
The tip of the fluff was a striking red, and anyone with even a basic education could tell that—
This is a characteristic of the red-tailed lion!
"They have the blood of the Red-Tailed Lion, just like me! They are brother and sister, their eyes and hair are the same color, and even their faces are similar to yours..."
Yan Ya counted all the clues and finally said with red eyes: "They are my children! There is absolutely no mistake! Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?"
She has been searching in various interstellar countries over the years, but has never found a pair of siblings with such matching conditions!
How could they not be?
Li Sinian listened to her analysis and couldn't help but stare at the two children in a daze, but in the end, reason prevailed over emotion.
"I really hope so too, but at the moment, their ages don't match, so Xiaoya, calm down for a moment."
Li Sinian held his wife in his arms, patted her back gently, and said soothingly, "Let's rush to the nursery first and see them first... The truth will eventually come out."
Even though they were not his blood relatives, Li Sinian had made up his mind that he would adopt the brother and sister no matter what.
In addition to Vivi, he also wants to take the two cubs home and take good care of and raise them.
Yan Ya leaned in Li Sinian's arms, tears streaming down her face.
In fact, she also understood that her husband's concerns were correct. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. She had experienced this countless times over the years.
The most important thing now is to rush to Prison Star.
But before that, she felt she had other things to do first.
When the adjutant helped push the suitcase and walked out of the house with Wen Yan, Yan Ya's emotions had barely calmed down, but her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
Wen Yan looked at her somewhat helplessly.
But Yan Ya just smiled at her, then lowered her head and looked at the little girl standing next to Wen Yan.
The girl was about seven or eight years old, about the same age as Xuewei. She already had obvious animal characteristics. In addition to two semicircular black ears, the little hand held by her mother had also turned into the claws of an iron-eating beast.
The giant panda, also known as the giant panda, is famous for its physique like the red-tailed lion. Of course, there are certain subdivisions between them.
The red-tailed lion is better at fighting and has strong explosive power, while the iron-eating lion has great endurance and is very resistant to beatings. In terms of speed and strength, the two are on par with each other.
Of course, this is just some of the simplest common sense about the iron-eating beasts. Each race has its own unknown abilities, which cannot be fully disclosed to the outside world.
This girl is so young, but her beastly characteristics are already so obvious. This shows that her frenzy is very serious and also indicates that she has an extremely strong bloodline talent.
If she is trained well, she will definitely become an outstanding female warrior in the future.
This little girl seemed to have a very cheerful personality. She was standing next to her mother with ease. When Li Sinian and his wife looked at her, she gave them a bright smile without any shyness.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." The little girl called sweetly.
Yan Ya felt her heart soften instantly. Perhaps it was because she had lost her child, she had no resistance to the young cubs at all, and couldn't help but overflow with maternal love when she saw them.
"Hello, Sissi."
Yan Ya said with a smile, "I'll be grateful for your guidance during the next period of time."
"Yes!" Xixi nodded her head. "My mom and I need help from my uncle and aunt. If you need anything, you can ask me for help. I'm very strong!"
The little girl was trying hard to promote herself, and it was hard not to be moved by the way she stood calmly in front of Wen Yan and protected her behind her back.
Is this little girl trying so hard to show herself just to protect her mother?
Yan Ya smiled even more gently, "Okay, Auntie got it."
Wen Yan stood nearby, a rare smile on her face. This kind of social interaction had been rare for her for a long time.
"Yan Yan, can I call you that?" At this time, she suddenly heard Yan Ya say.
Wen Yan was stunned and nodded awkwardly.
"Do you know where there is a larger shopping mall nearby?" Yan Ya said.
"I know a little bit." Wen Yan said.
"Then let's go together!" Yan Ya said enthusiastically, "We need to prepare some more things for the children before going to Prison Star!"
After watching the video today, I realized that the environment in the nursery is indeed very simple. The children even have to rely on nutritious jelly as their staple food. When Yan Ya thought of that scene, she felt heartbroken.
Although she had asked someone to purchase some gifts before, Yan Ya now felt that those were far from enough!
You have to buy more. If the space buttons are full, then buy two more. You have to bring more things for the children!
Wen Yan also felt that what she said made sense. After all, she had already learned that cosmic currency and their own country's currency were not acceptable on Prison Star, and they could only rely on points to exchange for supplies.
Since you have decided to live on Prison Star with your child, it is better to prepare more things.
So, they boarded the spaceship and flew to a large shopping mall nearby. They thought they would do some shopping before leaving Mengda Star.
A week later.
Prison Star, Base 24.
In the cultivation garden, Cen Liang, Wu Yunqin and others were so excited that they were speechless when they saw the garlic finally mature in the nutrient medium.
This mutant garlic has differentiated into five garlic cloves in total.
Their next task is to find a way to separate the garlic cloves without harming the mutant garlic, so that this mutant garlic can truly become five plants.
At such an important moment, Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming were naturally present.
During this half month, due to the red fog that permeated the base, they did not go to the nursery, but stayed in the cultivation garden to study mutant garlic.
Now everyone knows that the key to expelling the red fog and restoring the base to its original life and order lies in this mutant garlic.
In addition to bases 24 and 26, other bases are basically aware of the existence of this mutant garlic. Director Wu receives many calls from people every day asking for information.
She was polite at first, but later on, she was too lazy to deal with these people.
I have to say, seeing those people who used to look down on their 24th Base now coming to her with flattering faces, and not daring to complain even though her attitude was average, she was really happy!
Recently, Director Wu has been in a very good mood every day and has a good attitude towards the staff of the cultivation garden.
Of course, she also knew who was responsible for all this.
Of course, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although travel is inconvenient now, communication on the Internet is still unimpeded, so they all know that breeder Su has opened up a green area to the east of the base.
She no longer wanted to think about the rationality of this matter. Anyway, the breeder Su was awesome!
After all, one person dealing with hundreds of monsters, such an unreasonable thing has already happened, so what else is impossible?
She was itching to do something. If the mutant garlic had not reached a critical stage and going out was not only inconvenient but also very dangerous, she might have gone to the green space to do research long ago.
Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming are naturally the same.
They didn't forget that Keeper Su said he would observe their performance and consider whether to accept them as students.
Now that they saw the mutant garlic mature, they became excited and thought about going back to the nursery.
After all, they now have a lot of questions they want to ask. For example, if the mutant garlic has consciousness, then if they divide it into five plants, will its consciousness also be separated?
What is the relationship between these five strains and the original one? Are they subordinate or completely independent entities?
The two of them were full of curiosity.
So they discussed it and finally reported to Cen Liang that afternoon, left the plantation with the garlic spray, and finally waited for the hover bus successfully.
As they got on the bus, they smelled a strong smell of garlic.
Garlic spray is sprayed in the hover bus every day, and the maintenance team has also developed a special method to keep the garlic smell in the car all day long.
In this way, although it is still unsafe to go out, as long as you enter the suspended bus, you can get a certain degree of protection.
For people who don’t like garlic, this is really a very bad thing, because now almost the entire building of the base is invaded by the strong smell of garlic!
Fortunately, Zhuang Shisong and the others have been in the cultivation garden for a long time and are now accustomed to the smell.
They took the hover bus and happily arrived at the nursery platform, then groped their way towards the nursery building, but halfway through they discovered something was wrong -
Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming stepped into a piece of pure land.
This area, which was less than ten meters in diameter, was isolated from the red fog, but strangely, they did not smell any garlic here.
What is even more surprising is that the metal floor of this pure land has disappeared, the land has been renovated, and tender green sprouts have grown.
So the land within the nursery's walls is no longer enough for breeder Su to use?
But when you think about the green area due east of the base, which is said to be expanding every day, it doesn't seem surprising.
I heard that people with plant bloodlines like to live in a natural environment. The metal structure of the base probably makes Keeper Su feel uncomfortable, right?
Wei Ming and Zhuang Shisong stayed on the green land for a while, checked the growth status of the seedlings, and found that each one was growing well. After expressing their admiration again, they continued to go to the nursery.
It was now afternoon, and the cubs had just finished their literacy lessons for the day and were now undergoing their own training.
The ones who had the biggest changes in their courses were probably Ran Lie and Rong Heng.
They have successfully passed the initial stage of mental training, and now need to train together with the mental training to achieve the best training results.
On an open space next to the pool, a young man with red hair and red eyes was practicing boxing. This was the Vajra Palm that Su Ci had said he would teach him before.
He had just started practicing and had only learned the form, but after performing a set, he was already very powerful and vigorous.
Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming watched the young man practicing boxing, feeling the power that seemed to hit flesh with every punch. They looked at each other, turned around in tacit understanding, walked around the nursery building, and prepared to go to the green area behind from the other side.
However, as soon as they turned the corner, they stopped.
Not far in front of the two of them, a young man with lion ears and a lion tail was facing them sideways. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his hands constantly making various strange gestures.
And right in front of him, there was a—
Small sword?
Wei Ming and the others came from a farming family and had some understanding of ancient culture. When they saw the small sword, they recognized it immediately.
Isn't this a cold weapon from ancient times? It was eliminated many years ago and is rarely seen even in movies and TV shows.
Where did the kids at the nursery get such antiques? What is this little lion doing with a broken sword?
As Wei Ming and Zhuang Shisong watched curiously, they saw that the ancient sword, which was probably not even as long as an adult's forearm, slowly floated up without any external force.
However, the small sword seemed to come alive, flying flexibly in the air.
Amidst flashes of sword light, the small sword suddenly stabbed towards the metal wall. Even a laser gun could hardly cut through the metal wall, but the small sword actually penetrated directly into it and stabbed in fiercely!
