Chapter 27

Yan Ping's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound. Finally, he pondered, "Don't disturb him for now."

"Just keep following up on the spider silk matter."

The giant spider's silk is active and will dissipate about one or two hours after leaving the body. Although it is highly contaminated and dangerous, it will not cause much trouble.

After all, nearly ten hours had passed since the sudden bloody rain in the morning, but the nursery was still calm and the alarm had not been triggered, indicating that the cubs were currently in good condition.

"Please pay more attention to Su Ci and let me know if there's anything unusual."

As for the person who deliberately made trouble during the giant spider's attack, causing Luo Shengfei to almost die, he would also find a way to find him.

The other party was able to appear in the logistics building silently and escape unscathed after failing. Whether it was a monster or the cubs in the nursery, it was a huge hidden danger to the 24th Base.

Guan Zhishu: "Then the report..."

Yan Ping shook his head: "Don't worry about that. I will first submit a report on the monsters actively invading the interior of the building. This will also be the focus of the base and the Star Alliance leaders."

This will directly affect the lives of the soldiers defending Prison Star, as well as the subsequent development plan of Prison Star. It must be reported as soon as possible. He should be busy with this matter for some time to come.

"Okay." Guan Zhishu nodded to show that he understood, then he remembered something and said, "Bases 25 and 26 just sent text messages asking if we need support."

Yan Ping nodded, "Yeah, I just received the news."

However, the 24th Base suffered little loss this time, and there were no casualties, so naturally there was no need for help from friendly forces.

Thinking of this, Yan Ping sighed, "Base 26 is also within the range of the bloody rain. They are very generous to take the initiative to offer support."

"Yes, it seems they suffered a considerable loss this time..."

Thinking of the soldiers who died in the monster attack, the emotions of both of them inevitably became heavy even though they were not in the same base.

Operations Department Building, Director's Office.

"Does Base 24 really not need support?" The middle-aged man on the other side of the communicator was a little surprised after receiving an accurate answer.

"Yes, Base 24 was lucky this time. The losses weren't severe, and the wounded have been basically taken care of. Thank you to Base 26 for your concern..."

Liu Guanyao exchanged greetings with the other party and expressed his gratitude repeatedly before ending the call.

Thinking of the other party's surprise and astonishment, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, the 24th Base finally did not fall behind!

Every time monsters invade the base, we need support from friendly forces. Although we are forced to do so, it is still a bit unpleasant to say. Now, there is finally this time when Base 24 has enough energy to support others.

Although the other two bases affected by the bloody rain did not accept it, this did not prevent Liu Guanyao from feeling a little proud.

Thinking this, he made a video call to Yan Ping.

Yan Ping is not only the captain of the first action team of the 24th base, but also the leader of the four action teams.

"Director Liu." Yan Ping's image appeared on the screen.

"Xiao Yan, the team performed very well this time!" Liu Guanyao praised with a smile, "Keep it up and keep up the good work!"

Facing Liu Guanyao's praise, Yan Ping remained calm.

He knew very well that there were no major casualties at Base 24 this time, largely because the giant spider did not stay for long when fighting with them.

I didn't think too much about it at the time, but after reviewing it, I realized that the giant spider seemed to have been threatened by something, so it fled in panic.

After fighting with giant spiders so many times, Yan Ping knew his own limitations. With the strength of the action team, they were not able to pose such a great deterrent to the giant spider, especially when the giant spider was hunting.

So, before they arrived, something must have happened that they didn't know about.

The young man's handsome face flashed through Yan Ping's mind again, and then the slightly gloomy and thin child.

Could it really be because of them?

Yan Ping couldn't be sure. If he analyzed it rationally, it was more likely that the giant spider moved Luo Shengfei, angering the monster hiding in the dark and controlling Luo Shengfei's mind.

So, before they arrived, the two monsters fought, and the giant spider was defeated and fled. This seems to make sense, but the problem is...

Why did a monster that even a giant spider couldn't defeat leave?

Yan Ping's mind was in a mess, but he didn't show it on his face. Without evidence, he didn't want to involve Su Ci and Number One for the time being.

Seeing his serious expression, Liu Guanyao quickly calmed down.

He coughed lightly and said seriously, "But we must guard against arrogance and impatience. Let the members of the action team cheer up and stay in good condition at all times."

"If the monsters continue to invade the interior of the building, we'll have a tough battle to fight next time there's extreme weather!"

Finally, he whispered, "If you need anything, you can tell me. I will do my best to get it for you."

Hearing his promise, Yan Ping breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Director Liu."

There were undercurrents surging throughout the base, except for the nursery, which seemed exceptionally calm tonight.

Due to the extreme weather, the cubs still had their dinner in their respective rooms. Since cubs No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8 were all in a coma, only food needed to be prepared for cubs No. 3 and No. 5.

In the corridor, 4586 used a robotic arm to pick up a lunch box and said, "Susu, this is dinner for number three."

Su Ci didn't take it, but picked up the one belonging to number five on the cart.

"Number five, I'll go deliver it."

"Oh, okay."

4586 had no objection and flew to room number three with the lunch box, while Su Ci entered rooms number four and five.

Number Four was still lying in the medical purification area, and Number Five was still the only one in the room.

From this morning till now, the little girl has been lying on the table, drawing quietly, without being disturbed by the outside world. Even when Su Ci walked in, she did not look up, and her little hands held the paintbrush to paint on the paper.

Su Ci walked over and took a look.

It was difficult to tell what she was drawing. The entire piece of paper was covered in pink, and within the pink, there were messy black and purple curves, sloppily and haphazardly scattered around, creating a slightly strange picture.

He stood by and watched quietly. Although he didn't understand, he didn't make any noise to disturb her. After a while, the little girl seemed tired of painting and finally put down the paintbrush.

It was only at this time that Number Five noticed Su Ci's arrival.

She turned her head and saw Su Ci. Her round eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of grievance and anger. This look was somewhat similar to her brother's, both of them were little lions with bared fangs and claws.

"Where's my brother?"

She accused Su Ci, accusing him harshly, "You didn't go find your brother!"

As he spoke, he slapped the table with his little hands. It was clearly a childish voice, but it carried a faint lion's roar. Despite his young age, he was already quite intimidating.

Unfortunately, the person standing in front of her was Su Ci.

Su Ci raised his fingers slightly to dispel the mental attack from the little girl, then removed the painting on her desk and placed the lunch box in his hand on it.

The little girl sitting on the chair blinked in confusion when she saw that Su Ci had no reaction at all.

Under normal circumstances, this shouldn't be the case.

She stared at Su Ci for a while and asked tentatively, "You, sit down!"

Su Ci paused, looked at her sideways, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You, eat."

Hearing this, the little girl was stunned.

She did not completely lose her consciousness like Number Eight did when she controlled him, but her body moved on its own.

I saw her little hands holding the lid of the lunch box, opening the lunch box and putting it aside, and her right hand uncontrollably grabbed the small spoon stuck on the console.

The anger and grievance in the little girl's eyes disappeared, leaving only fear and uneasiness. She turned her eyes desperately towards Su Ci, but her body completely disobeyed her.

The spoon scooped up the jelly and brought it to her mouth. Her mouth opened automatically and took in the warm jelly.

The jelly tasted warm in her mouth, but No. 5 felt a chill, a fear she had never felt since she was born.

The breeder...actually controlled her using the method she was most familiar with!

Number Five finally understood the truth.

This skinny and weak-looking breeder possessed the same abilities as her, and even stronger ones! That was why he didn't listen to her and didn't bring his brother back...

The little girl's rosy face turned pale. She was clearly eating, but she looked like she was being tortured.

Her body ate mechanically, but her consciousness was full of resistance, so that after the food entered her mouth, she caused bouts of nausea, dry heaves and coughs.

However, even if her throat was choked and she coughed, her body would start eating again after calming down.

No matter how hard she tried to take back control of her body, it was useless. For the first time, Number Five experienced the pain of someone being controlled.

No, that's not right.

Others are not aware of it when they are controlled by her, but she clearly feels the separation between her body and consciousness, which can be said to be double the pain.

This breeder is horrible!

After all, No. 5 was young and had never suffered such injustice. Tears slowly accumulated in his eyes, and the big tears rolled down, dropping with a plop.

The little girl whimpered, but her little hands continued to scoop the jelly uncontrollably and put the food into her mouth.

"Bad guy... wuwuwu..."

She swallowed her food while crying, looking so pitiful.

Su Ci did not show any remorse and waited until she had almost finished the jelly before nodding gently.

"Yeah, that's fine."

As he finished speaking, Number Five, who was mechanically scooping the jelly, finally stopped.

As soon as the force that controlled her was released, she climbed down from the stool using her hands and feet, ran behind the bed and hid her body, only sticking out her little head, staring at Su Ci vigilantly, her tear-stained little face looking extremely miserable.

"You...you are bad!" Number Five's voice was nasal.

Su Ci shrugged, slowly put away the tableware and covered the lid. It was obviously a simple and gentle action, but with the intimidation just now, the breeder looked like a devil in a weak coat in the eyes of No. 5.

The more benign and harmless he acted, the more frightened Five became.

At this moment, she heard the breeder say in his clear and gentle voice: "Don't use your abilities carelessly. It's not good for you."

Number Five shuddered, but she quickly clenched her fists again.

"snort!"

The little girl wiped away her tears and bared her teeth at Su Ci. In conjunction with this action, a pair of furry ears that were almost the same color as her hair emerged from her head.

Looking at it this way, it looks more and more like a ferocious little lion cub.

Su Ci looked at her and suddenly asked, "It was you who controlled Luo Shengfei in the logistics department today, right?"

Hearing this, a trace of confusion appeared on Number Five's face, and then she stared at Su Ci again, her eyes mainly focused on the little red flower hairpin on his temples.

"Huahua, give it back to me!" She pointed at Su Ci and said fiercely.

Seeing Su Ci narrow his eyes slightly, she retracted her hand in fear, but her little face still showed the same stubbornness as No. 8.

Except for A Yan, it seems that none of the children in the nursery are well-behaved and docile... Oh no, there is also a number three.

Of course, I haven’t had in-depth contact with it, so I can’t really say for sure.

Su Ci looked at Number Five, and finally raised her hand, took off the plastic hairpin on her hair, and gently placed it on her small table.

Number Five watched his movements, a trace of struggle flashing in her eyes. Finally, she slowly took out a handkerchief from her pocket.

This was given to her by Su Ci yesterday, and it still exudes a faint scent of pear blossoms.

It can be seen that the little girl was very reluctant to part with it. She really liked this handkerchief. However, in the end, she still grabbed the handkerchief, ran out from behind the bed with her short legs, and threw it directly to Su Ci.

"Give it back to you!"

The handkerchief flew in the air and then fell lightly to the ground.

After throwing the handkerchief, the little girl made a face at Su Ci. Then, she picked up the plastic hairpin on the table and quickly ran behind the bed to hide.

That resolute look was as if the boat of friendship could capsize at any time.

Su Ci didn't say much. He bent down, picked up the handkerchief that fell on the ground, and put it back into the space button.

"You should sleep well."

After saying that, he picked up the lunch box and left.

Seeing that he really left like that, No. 5, who was hiding behind the bed and secretly observing him, breathed a sigh of relief, but also pouted in grievance.

She lowered her head and looked at the plastic hairpin in her hand. It was once her most precious little red flower, but now she didn't seem to like it as much... Tears began to well up in her eyes again.

She really liked the fragrant handkerchief. It was the closest thing to a real flower she had ever gotten. Besides, she hadn't even had time to share it with her brother...

Thinking of this, Number Five's mouth became even more gloomy.

The little girl wiped her eyes and sat down on the edge of the bed. Finally, she couldn't help but hugged her knees with both hands, buried her face in her arms, and her shoulders slumped.

"Brother...4583...wuwu..."

The suppressed sobs echoed in the closed room. In the small world, it was dark and lightless, as if she was the only one left.

Outside the corridor, Su Ci placed the lunch box on the cart. He turned his head and glanced at the door behind him. He paused and then looked away indifferently.

4586 is still in room number three.

The young man leaned against the wall, waiting bored.

After a while, he looked at Room No. 5 again, sighed softly, raised his hand to open the light screen of the communicator, and called up the address book.
