Chapter 227

"We're going to fight!"

After hearing Mu Bao's question, the little wolf cub chuckled and showed him his nameplate.

"We're all members of the Cub Squad!" He puffed out his chest proudly. "We're going to fight monsters, defend the base, and defend Earth!"

“Wow—that’s amazing!”

Mu Bao clapped his hands and looked at Langze and Lu Jiao with eyes full of admiration, which made the other cubs feel embarrassed, but at the same time, they couldn't help feeling proud in their hearts.

That’s right, they are the Cub Team, and it is their duty to destroy monsters and defend the Earth!

Even the calmest Rong Heng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. After all, they were all young, and who wouldn't like admiration and praise from their peers?

As for Mu Yuncheng, he had already widened his eyes after seeing the nameplate on Langze's chest, and then quickly checked it with the communicator, and found out -

There really is a Cub Squad in the Star Alliance!

Mu Yuncheng couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

This time, returning to his home planet, he was truly shocked. He saw so many things he had never seen before! Not only the Earth Spirit, but even the cubs raised by the Earth Spirit were so powerful!

But when this thought came to his mind, he felt that it should be this way.

That was the deity of their Wood Clan, how could he not be powerful? These children favored by him certainly couldn't be ordinary either.

"Then... can I also join the cub team?" Mu Bao's voice sounded with obvious expectation.

"Can you fight?" Langze asked without thinking.

The cubs around them also pricked up their ears. As the captain and deputy captain of the team, Ran Lie and Rong Heng looked over at Mu Bao. Although they didn't get along well, they shared some common ideas.

The selection of members for the Cub Team is strict. Not everyone can join the Cub Team, even those who have a good relationship with them.

Mu Bao was stunned by the question.

He tugged at his fingers nervously, then finally shook his head and said, "I can't fight."

Mu Bao was very depressed. After all, he was just a child who grew up in a peaceful environment. The plant blood he possessed was not combat-type. He was fragile and needed protection, which was the normal state of an ordinary cub.

At this time, he heard Langze ask again: "Then what can you do?"

Mu Bao thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "I... I know how to plant... I know a lot of plants..."

Plants are his good friends. He can keep the plants in good condition and let them grow happily every day.

However, this isn't what the Cub Team needs...

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Langze and the others staring at him with wide eyes. Even Ran Lie and Rong Heng, who were looking at him with scrutiny, couldn't help but nod.

"Wow~ Mubao, you can actually plant! That's amazing!" Langze looked at Mubao's shining eyes and praised him sincerely.

The planting techniques the cubs have mastered are basically just digging holes, burying, watering and fertilizing, but they know that this doesn't work every time.

From Uncle Zhuang and the others, the cubs learned that planting is a very profound subject, and if you want the plants to grow well, you need to spend a lot of time and effort to maintain them.

They promised Susu that they would farm, but they are too busy at the moment. Apart from practicing and studying every day, they have to deal with the monster invasion problems of other bases. They have no time to farm properly.

Fortunately, they can urge adults in other bases to help with planting.

And Mu Bao actually said that he was best at planting!

"That's right, Mu Bao has plant blood, so he must be good at farming!" Lu Jiao also nodded.

Ran Lie and Rong Heng exchanged a glance, and finally, the captain Ran Lie spoke first: "It's too dangerous for you to join the cub team, but you can stay in the nursery."

Rong Heng then took over the conversation and said solemnly to the child, "Yes, we need you, Mubao."

"Yes, Mubao, you can stay at the nursery and farm, doing what you do best."

Where has Mu Bao ever received such attention?

He was so happy that he couldn't find his way. He agreed without thinking: "Yes! I want to stay and farm!"

Mu Yuncheng next to him: "..."

Why did he feel that this situation was a little weird?

However, Mu Yuncheng was very happy that Mu Bao was accepted by the children in the nursery. Anyway, his original idea was to stay on the mother planet to transform the environment... Well, it's almost the same as farming!

At this moment, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked Langze: "Which planet are you talking about?"

This should be a name that the Earth Spirit also agrees with, so that's why the cubs call it that, right?

But facing his question, Lang Ze was dumbfounded. He scratched his head and looked at Lu Jiao beside him, "Yo yo, which land is the Earth Star?"

This question was no problem for our little scholar. Lu Jiao was immediately inspired and said, "I know! It's the "di" in "dadi" (earth)!"

He had asked Xiaozhi before, and Xiaozhi specifically asked Susu before telling him, so it definitely couldn't be wrong.

"Uncle Mu, did you hear that? It's the "di" in "earth"! Langze turned his head and repeated.

"I heard it, I heard it." Mu Yuncheng said with a smile.

Earth Star, the Earth of the Earth...it should be like this!

Langze felt that Mu Yuncheng's smile was a little strange. After looking at him twice, he looked away and concentrated on eating.

A few months passed, and the cubs' meals changed dramatically. They used to only be able to eat nutritious frozen meals, but now they have a mix of meat and vegetables, three dishes and one soup, and they have different meals seven days a week.

In addition to the food grown and raised by the nursery itself, a large portion of these ingredients are sent from other bases.

Among the thirty-six bases on Prison Star, Base 24 is the poorest and does not have its own farm. The other bases have more or less opened such departments.

Although there were many losses after the red fog invasion, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, not to mention with the assistance of the cub team, most bases have recovered from the monster invasion over the past few months.

They also exceeded Su Ci's original condition of planting 10,000 square meters of green space within a month and continued the greening project.

On the one hand, the purifying spiritual herbs can purify the red fog, which greatly improves the air quality of the base and greatly reduces the frequency of monster appearances.

On the other hand, the purified land can be used for planting, not only to grow edible vegetables, but these vegetables can also be used to raise livestock and improve the quality of life of the defending soldiers.

More importantly, when the cub team comes to help fight monsters, they will actively supervise the greening projects of the base. Those who do a good job are more likely to gain the love and attention of the cubs.

And another thing is that they found that as the green area expanded, the frequency of extreme weather near the base was greatly reduced compared to before.

You know, the reason why those monsters are difficult to deal with, in addition to their own strength and the cover of the red fog, is another very important point - they often appear with extreme weather, causing great trouble to the defenders' operations.

And now everyone can clearly feel that life in the base is getting better day by day!

If the quality of life can be improved, who would be willing to continue struggling in a harsh environment? They are warriors, but they are also human beings. What's wrong with pursuing basic living security?

Even those bases that were unwilling to spend time and resources on green space transformation ultimately could not withstand the petitions of the soldiers defending the bases.

The problem is not the lack of resources, but the imbalance. In the past, all the major bases were similar, but now some bases are -

For example, Base 26, which has the closest ties with Base 24, has cleared all the red fog in the base and has also pried up the metal floors of all places in the base that can be used for planting for planting.

Base 26 not only restored order at the fastest speed, but also greatly improved the quality of life of the soldiers, allowing them to grow while maximizing their health and mental state. How could other bases not be envious?

Moreover, the new recruits at Base 26 have no shortage of opportunities for improvement and training.

After recuperating and summarizing their previous experience in fighting monsters, they began to expand outside the base and eliminate monsters in a planned manner after reconnaissance.

This kind of training is multifaceted, unlike the previous exhausting training when facing monster invasions.

With such a "model base" in place, how could other bases on Prison Star not follow suit? Therefore, for these reasons, a wave of greening and transformation was set off on Prison Star.

As the Cub Team provided the most help to other bases, they naturally benefited from this!

After all, no matter how much the cubs eat, with their thirty-six bases working together to provide for them, isn’t it more than enough to feed them?

Because there was too much food sent from other bases, Base 24 even had to make a work schedule to prevent waste and ensure the freshness of the food.

For the other thirty-five bases, even if one base were to be serviced like this in one day, it would still not be enough for a month!

When this schedule came out, it was protested by some bases. They demanded that the number of visits be increased, otherwise only once a month would be too few visits to the brooding center.

Who wouldn't want to see the little heroes of the Cub Squad in person? I heard some lucky people not only got to talk to the adorable Cub Squad but even pet their furry ears. It's so adorable!

However, these protests were suppressed.

Are you kidding? People from other parts of the base have to queue up if they want to visit the cubs and volunteer, so how could they be snatched away by people from other bases?

The inspectors who had returned from vacation couldn't help but feel dazed every time they saw everyone scrambling to get to the nursery. Who could have thought that in less than a year, the nursery, no, the entire Prison Star, had undergone such great changes?

Does anyone remember that just a few months ago, cubs were little monsters that everyone avoided?

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that every time the inspector brings up this topic with his colleagues, he receives condemning looks from others.

"The cubs are under the influence of their bloodline frenzy and have no control over themselves. How can you say that to them?"

"That's right, the kids are all good, kind-hearted children. You actually called them little monsters. That's really too much!"

"That's too much. If you can't fulfill your duties as an inspector, let me do it."

Inspector: ...The truth is revealed!

However, today's lunch at the nursery was not entirely made up of ingredients sent from other bases. There was also something produced and sold by the nursery itself, and that was - fish from the river!

Autumn is the season when fish are the fattest.

In particular, the river outside the base is infused with spiritual energy. The fish grown in such water have particularly fresh and tender meat, and they taste delicious no matter how they are cooked.

However, the troublesome thing about eating fish is that it has a lot of bones.

Langze chose a piece of fish with larger bones, patiently removed the fish bones one by one, then put it in a bowl, scooped up some fish soup that had been stewed into a milky white color, and placed it in front of Zhengxing.

"Xingxing, be careful, it's hot."

After saying that, he continued to eat his lunch, eating it with gusto, obviously he was very hungry.

"Thank you, brother..."

Zheng Xing finished speaking in a low voice. Seeing Langze eating seriously, he also lowered his head and ate the fish soup and fish meat with a small spoon.

He likes fish soup and loves it very much!

The other cubs also ate with relish, finishing everything up and implementing the "Clean Plate" campaign very seriously.

However, when they were ready to leave the restaurant after eating, Wen Yan stood up, clapped her hands and said, "My dears, have you felt that you have grown taller recently?"

Is there?

The cubs looked down at themselves and then at their companions, and could not tell that anyone had grown taller, but their pants had indeed become shorter.

"Yan Ya and I are going to make two new sets of clothes for everyone. We will ask for the opinions of breeder Su on the styles. After everyone finishes their meal, can you come over here and let me measure your sizes?" Wen Yan continued.

Langze was the first to raise his hand. "Does everyone have two sets?"

"Yes." Wen Yan replied with a smile.

"Great!" Langze jumped up and cheered.

Ran Lie, who always behaves cool and arrogant, couldn't help but brighten his eyes when he heard that everyone could have two new sets of clothes.

Although he had tried very hard to protect his clothes, it was sometimes difficult to find a place to change clothes on the battlefield, so the only cub clothes that fit his size in the nursery were the one he was wearing and the other set in his spirit storage bag...

Two new sets of clothes are not much, but they are better than nothing!

So, the cubs lined up obediently, asked Wen Yan to help measure their sizes, and wrote down each of their favorite colors - they felt that when resources were sufficient, there was nothing wrong with pursuing a little personalization.

When Wen Yan and Yan Ya went to Su Ci to discuss the drawings, he had just finished his meal.

After hearing their proposal, Su Ci also thought it was good, but...

"Then add a few more training clothes."

"Training clothes?"

"Yeah." Su Ci did not intend to leave this matter to them, but looked at A Yan.

Ah Yan understood what he meant and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll make a few sets of training clothes for the children to try."

The training clothes he made were naturally made using the method of refining equipment. The materials collected recently were almost ready, and A Yan also had a general idea.

Wen Yan and Yan Ya had never thought that A Yan could actually make clothes, and they had never seen such training clothes before. They couldn't help but say with anticipation, "Then I'll leave it to you."

They gave Ayan the sizes of the cubs and said goodbye and left.

A Yan watched as Su Ci picked up a pen and sketched on a piece of white paper. With just a few strokes, he drew the general design of the training uniform. The simple and rustic style had long been abandoned by the interstellar society, but... so what?

Thinking of something, A Yan suddenly smiled and said, "With this set of training clothes, Xiao Lie will no longer have to take off his clothes before transforming into a beast."

The entire nursery is under their protection, how could Ran Lie's little tricks escape their eyes?

But now that it's solved, he should be very happy, right?
