Chapter 187

The matter was finalized, but the people from Base 26 did not return so quickly.

They came here this time to take a mutant garlic back with them. Now the people in the nursery are still doing the handover, including the necessary procedures and training on the maintenance of the mutant garlic. They will not be able to leave until at least the next day.

Therefore, Yun Zixu took his men and said goodbye first. They wanted to take a few cubs back to Base 26. This had no precedent, so they had to go to the Personnel Department to explain the situation.

But logically speaking, with the nod from breeder Su and Li Sinian accompanying him, it shouldn't be a problem.

Song Zehe, who was originally called in to act as a lobbyist, was also temporarily left in the nursery - anyway, the red fog inside the 24th Base has been dispelled, and it is very safe. He can leave at any time to reunite with his companions.

After sending Yun Zixu and the others away, Song Zehe looked at Su Ci, who was sitting comfortably in the chair, looking lazy and boneless, and still felt like he was dreaming.

He seemed to have never understood Su Ci. This young man, who seemed thin and weak and in need of protection in his eyes, possessed energy that he could not even imagine.

This realization made him seem a little restrained.

However, Song Zehe finally walked towards Su Ci and spoke stutteringly.

"Su, Su Ci...thank you." He said sincerely.

Su Ci opened his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to speak, a hand reached out and handed him a glass of iced juice.

He glanced sideways and met A Yan's smiling eyes.

Su Ci did not refuse. As the weather rules near the 24th Base were sorted out, extreme weather no longer occurred, and the climate gradually became divided into four seasons.

It is summer now and the weather is a bit hot. Iced juice is the best way to relieve the heat.

Su Ci took the juice and drank it, then looked at Song Zehe and continued the previous topic, "Thank you for the ham and canned food."

Speaking of this, Song Zehe felt embarrassed.

"Don't say that. You even gave me such a big box of Star Chain Fruit... It's truly the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted. Thank you so much!"

Su Ci asked, "Do you still want to eat?"

"W-what?" Song Zehe was slightly stunned.

"If you want to eat some, there are still a lot over there. Go pick them yourself." Su Ci said, pointing to the Star Chain Fruit Tree not far away.

This batch of newly harvested star chain fruits has not yet been picked by the logistics department. The clusters of brightly colored, plump and lustrous fruits hanging between the green vines are very eye-catching.

Song Zehe was also a little greedy, but he still restrained himself, "No, no, no reward without merit."

Seeing that he clearly wanted to eat it but was still steadfast in his refusal, Su Ci said, "In that case, why not go back and grow some yourself?"

Song Zehe was a little confused.

A Yan, who was standing next to him, curled his lips and said in tacit understanding, "Yes, Star Chain Fruit is easy to grow. If you want to eat it, you can grow some yourself."

"But I..."

"How long will you serve on Earth?" A Yan suddenly asked.

Song Zehe had read popular science about Prison Star and naturally knew that "Earth Star" was the real name of this planet. He subconsciously responded, "At least two years."

"Then don't you want to leave something on this planet?" A Yan guided.

"Leave something behind?"

"Yes, when I saw the barren land on Earth, I wanted to change it, to restore the planet to life and make it beautiful and fertile again."

Song Zehe stared blankly at the young man in front of him with beautiful platinum hair, and suddenly felt ashamed.

He only thought about fighting those monsters and leaving this dangerous and harsh planet after completing his service as soon as possible. He never thought about doing anything for this planet, even planting a tree.

"But, can plants grow on the land of Yu...Earth?" Song Zehe hesitated.

"If not, what are these things around you?" A Yan said.

Song Zehe finally reacted.

Yes, the land at the nursery was successfully cultivated! So... can the land at Base 26 also be cultivated?

A Yan looked at Su Ci, and after he nodded, he stood up and walked away. When he came back, he had two flower pots in his hands, each with a small green seedling planted in it.

One pot contained ordinary Star Chain Fruit, and the other contained Purifying Spirit Herb, which looked obviously a little wilted.

"When you go back, plant these two plants together. They will grow very quickly." Su Ci said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Although Yun Zixu and the others would probably try their best to fulfill his requirements after knowing the characteristics of the spiritual herbs, the two things were not in conflict.

The more people who participate in planting, the better, so that there will be more and more life on the earth.

Song Zehe took the two flower pots with great care, nodded and said, "I will try my best to take good care of them!"

In the end, Song Zehe finally ate the Star Chain Spirit Fruit.

After all, he was the first human to express goodwill to Su Ci after he woke up, so Su Ci had a good impression of him.

When the time was almost up, Song Zehe left the nursery with two flower pots and went to meet up with Yun Zixu and the others. He would come back the next day to pick up the cubs and Li Sinian and leave.

Ran Lie continued to practice, while the little wolf cub pulled Zheng Xing and started to search the green area.

They're going to be away for a week, so of course they have to bring plenty of food!

Wen Yan and Yan Ya didn't quite understand Su Ci's approach, but they also knew that they had no say in the matter. They could only prepare food for the children so that they could eat well while they were at Base 26.

Before leaving, Li Sinian still found Su Ci.

He was not here for this trip. The matter was already settled and no matter how much he said, it would be useless. He found Su Ci mainly to ask for advice on the cultivation of the power to control objects.

While accompanying his son in cultivation this week, he also saw how closely the thing called the mental method that Rong Heng was cultivating was compatible with the power of controlling objects.

The more he knew how precious this mental method was, the more hesitant he became about how to ask Su Ci for advice. Now that he suddenly had to leave for at least a week, he finally couldn't wait any longer.

Su Ci was not surprised to hear the purpose of Li Sinian's visit. He had guessed this situation a long time ago, and as the cubs gradually walked out of the nursery, such situations would only become more and more frequent.

Just like what he said to Xuewei before, Su Ci said: "You can ask Rong Heng for advice. If he is willing to teach you, I have no objection."

Upon hearing this, Li Sinian's expression inevitably became distorted.

"You want me to... ask Rong Heng for advice?" he asked again.

Su Ci nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

He looked at Li Sinian's ugly face, thought for a moment, and then comforted him, "Don't worry, Rong Heng will be willing to teach you."

Li Sinian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Of course he knew that if he asked, Rong Heng would definitely be willing to teach him, but the problem was...

Rong Heng is his son!

He was already embarrassed because there were not many things he could teach his son at this stage. Now if he asked his son to teach him the mental method, what kind of image would he have in his son's mind?

But... he also coveted the method of cultivating the power to control objects.

It can be said that there is no one in the family who is stronger and has gone further than him in cultivating the power of controlling objects, and Li Sinian also feels that he has entered a bottleneck period.

He felt that this should be a rare opportunity for him. Whether he could continue to improve depended on this set of mental methods for cultivating the power to control objects.

Seeing Li Sinian's embarrassment, Su Ci finally said, "I can teach you the secret formula of the Heart Sutra. It depends on you to understand it."

Li Sinian's eyes lit up. If he could know the formula, that would be great! He didn't believe that with his comprehension, he couldn't comprehend anything useful.

"But there is a condition." Su Ci said.

"What do you need me to do? Just tell me!" Li Sinian said without thinking.

The next morning, at six o'clock, Langze rushed out of the room carrying Zhengxing on his back.

Last night, Zheng Xing suffered from insomnia, which was a rare occurrence.

Even with Langze accompanying him, the situation did not improve at all.

Since arriving at the nursery, it was his first time to go on a long journey, and his emotions became unusually unstable. He felt uneasy and withdrawn, but of course, he was also excited about the thought of the spaceship and battleship.

So he tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. However, Langze, the instigator, described to him his beautiful fantasy of going on a long journey before going to bed, and then lay down beside him and fell asleep.

The joyful atmosphere emanated from him even in his dreams, as if the next day's itinerary had no negative impact on him at all.

Zhengxing thought about it all night and finally made a decision.

So, when Yun Zixu came to pick people up, he saw that Li Sinian was only accompanied by Ran Lie and Lang Ze, and the handsome little boy who was the last one to be brought up yesterday was nowhere to be seen.

Is he not planning to go? Yun Zixu was a little surprised.

To be honest, for Yun Zixu, who had never taken care of a child, even though he knew that these cubs had considerable strength, he still felt tremendous pressure to take them to Base 26.

The less one there is, the better!

But in the end, he was disappointed.

Just when he was happily asking Li Sinian whether the cub named Zhengxing was not going, he saw Li Sinian looking at the wolf-eared boy beside him with a complicated expression.

To be precise, it was the pocket on his cub jacket that was obviously newly sewn on and was much larger than normal.

The pocket was also bulging, as if it contained something, and there was a long, thin, furry thing hanging out that looked like an animal's tail.

Then, under Yun Zixu's gaze, the little black tail shrank into his pocket.

Yun Zixu: “…”

So, the cub has completely transformed into a beast?

He looked at Li Sinian in disbelief. Does Keeper Su think there's nothing wrong with this situation?

Li Sinian could only pat his shoulder and said, "Let's go. Keeper Su knows everything."

Since that was the case, Yun Zixu had no choice but to accept it.

Of all the people, the little wolf cub was probably the happiest. He waved vigorously to his friends who came to see him off, "We'll be back in a week, don't miss us too much!"

Then he ran out of the nursery cheering, saying happily, "Let's go!"

Ran Lie, who was originally not very happy, started running under his lead, and soon got into the hovercraft parked at the door and headed to the helipad outside the base together.

It was not until they got on the hovercraft that Zheng Xing, who was hiding in the little wolf cub's pocket, quietly poked his head out.

It is a hover car with better performance than a hover bus!

The kitten that is exposed to new things may not show any expression on its furry face, but the joy emanating from its body is very obvious.

At this time, Yun Zixu took out the garlic spray he had prepared early in the morning and distributed a bottle to everyone in the car - Zhengxing's was kept by Langze.

Then, with deft movements, he sprayed the carriage, making sure everyone was covered in the rich scent of garlic.

The slightly pungent smell made Zheng Xing sneeze slightly. He couldn't help but retract his head and continued to hide in Langze's pocket.

But in the end, he was fished out of Langze's pocket and received Yun Zixu's garlic-flavored baptism.

After the spraying was finished, the whole kitten was wilted.

Langze patted his little head comfortingly, "Xingxing, dear, this spray can protect us, you must spray it."

Then he took out a piece of candy, bit half of it himself, and stuffed the other half into the kitten's mouth.

Zheng Xing opened his mouth and took it in. With the comfort of the candy, he finally felt a little more energetic. He hummed softly, jumped off Langze's palm, struggled to open his pocket, and got in again.

When it was halfway through, it got stuck at the entrance of the bag, with its two hind paws raised high, and its pink pads could be seen.

Langze thought it was cute and was about to pinch it, but the little black cat had already nimbly slipped into his pocket and hid itself tightly.

He could only give up with regret. When he looked up, he saw Ran Lie sitting next to him frowning at him.

Langze hesitated for a moment, then took out another candy and asked him, "Lielie, do you want some? This is delicious!"

Their relationship was very bad before, even hostile. Although it has improved a lot now, it is not very close. They will have to fight together in the future, so Langze feels it is necessary to maintain a good relationship.

So, he took the lead in extending the hand of friendship.

Ran Lie didn't like candy that much, and he didn't like such sweet things, so he didn't take it.

"Don't you like sweets?"

Seeing that he didn't take it, Langze peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he took out a bag of dried meat and said, "Would you like some dried meat?"

As soon as the package of dried meat was opened, in addition to the strong smell of garlic, the carriage was immediately filled with a spicy aroma, which made Yun Zixu and the others swallow their saliva.

Ran Lie is naturally no exception.

He was a little curious. How could this wolf cub have so much food on him? Was he going to kill monsters or go on an outing?

But this time he did not refuse. He took the dried meat handed to him by the wolf cub and started to chew it seriously. When Langze asked him if the dried meat tasted good, he rarely nodded.

Yun Zixu and Li Sinian each received a piece of dried meat.

Yun Zixu, who rarely ate meat, was naturally very touched, and as the original provider of this package of dried meat, Li Sinian also ate it with peace of mind.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage became strangely harmonious.

When they arrived at the tarmac, the three cubs finally saw what the new spacecraft looked like.

Yun Zixu looked at the way the cubs were looking at their own spaceship, and then looked at the nearly scrapped spaceship No. 244 belonging to the 24th Base next to it, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"How's it? Isn't it cool?"

He looked at Langze and the little star-conquering kitten that had popped its head out of his pocket. The two kittens were very interested in the Starlink spaceship. They should be satisfied now, right?

The wolf cub nodded in agreement and kept saying it was cool, but the kitten quickly went back into his pocket.

244h is still awesome...

Zheng Xing thought with some disappointment.
