Chapter 80

The little wolf cub was so scared when he was caught sneaking out that he subconsciously ran away with his two friends.

However, they were facing a breeder who could kill monsters with his bare hands. How could he let them get away so easily?

So when they ran a hundred meters and turned the corner to the front of the nursery building, they turned their heads to look back, thankful that the breeder hadn't caught up with them -

The scenery in front of them changed, and the two children who were running suddenly found that the surrounding environment had changed!

What's even more terrifying is...

They turned around and found that the breeder, who should have been behind them, was actually right in front of them! If they continued running, they would directly hit the breeder!

The little wolf cub braked suddenly, and the little white deer also slowed down quickly, and finally -

"thump!"

The two finally stopped in front of the breeder in time, but the little wolf cub also successfully fell flat on his face, and the little white deer he was pulling behind him also fell on him like a pyramid.

Then, little Langze, who was pressed at the bottom, let out a scream.

The little white deer quickly got up, and at the last moment, because the little wolf cub protected him, little Zhengxing was not injured.

Although his face turned pale with fear from the sudden change, he still anxiously climbed up and stretched out his little hand to the little wolf cub, "Lang...Langze..."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Little Langze pulled his face out of the mud.

The soft and moist soil was not as hard as the metal floor. He had thick skin and even though his face rolled in the soil, there was no trace of any injury.

Although he was covered in dust, he still held the little boy's hand and comforted him, "I'm fine..."

However, when the little wolf cub raised his head and looked at the keeper who was looking at them expressionlessly, the rest of the words were stuck.

He almost subconsciously protected his two friends behind him and stepped forward, saying, "I was the one who insisted on dragging them out to play. It has nothing to do with Xingxing and Yoyo! If you want to hit someone, hit me!"

The young man stiffened his neck, and when he said the last sentence, the wolf cub, who had originally regained his cheerfulness and vigor, was aroused to ferocity again for some reason.

But beneath this ferocity, there is also deep-seated fear.

It's like some kind of stress response that is triggered when encountering a similar situation.

Both Xiao Zhengxing and Xiao Lujiao noticed that something was wrong with him.

Although Xiaolu Jiao felt that the breeder was not someone who liked to use violence, he still stood up despite his fear. "No... No! It's me... I wanted to come out myself..."

Little Zhengxing didn't say anything, but just hugged the little wolf cub's arm tightly, and for the first time, a stubborn emotion appeared between his brows.

Looking at the three children in front of him, Su Ci slowly stretched out his hand.

The wolf cub's eyes were red as he looked at the hand he extended. He bared his teeth in a bluffing manner, but he didn't dare to move an inch. In the end, he could only watch helplessly...

That beautiful, smooth hand flicked his forehead with its fingers.

"Ouch!"

The little wolf cub couldn't help but cover his head.

However, the pain allowed him to see clearly the person standing in front of him. The boy was stunned, and the hatred and ferocity in his eyes were replaced by confusion.

He rubbed the place where he was hit. Although it hurt, it was nothing compared to the beatings he had received before.

The little wolf cub gradually regained consciousness from the confusion of the past - oh yes, he was in the nursery now, he was Langze now, not the puppy tied in the cage before...

Looking at the young man standing in front of him, he blinked, put aside the unhappy memories of the past, and then showed a flattering smile.

"Susu..."

The young boy's voice was tender and clear, without any fierceness, but soft, with a hint of coquettishness.

Su Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't mean to blame the children. After all, he had tacitly allowed them to come out. As for little Langze's reaction just now... he glanced at the spider leg in his hand.

The giant spider's shell was not purified. Although this level of resentment had no effect on him, the concentration was still a bit high for the cub.

Fortunately, it’s not a big problem.

Su Ci retracted his gaze and looked at the boy's dirty little face. He said with some disdain: "Go wash your face first."

"Okay!"

The little wolf cub responded immediately, then quickly pulled the still dazed little Zhengxing and ran to the pond.

The little deer Jiao, who was one step behind, looked at the breeder, then at his two friends, and finally stayed where he was hesitantly, lowering his head guiltily.

Although the breeder did not blame them, Xiaolu Jiao felt guilty because of this.

They did something wrong and sneaked out of the restaurant...

The door of the restaurant was not locked, perhaps because of a malfunction, but that was no reason for them to sneak out at will.

He should have stopped Langze when he said he wanted to come out... How could he be so unruly?

Knowing that he is so naughty, will Su Su hate him?

As these thoughts went through his mind, tears began to well up in the little white deer's eyes again.

After witnessing the breeder's true strength last night, the little white deer felt not only awe but also admiration for Su Ci. In his eyes, Su Ci almost overturned his perception of a strong person.

It turns out that not all strong people can be seen from their appearance. It turns out that the strong can also be so gentle to the weak...

So he, who originally wanted to form an alliance with the breeder, now wanted to gain the breeder's recognition.

But now, it seemed like he had messed everything up before he even started trying... When Xiaolu Jiao realized this, his mentality collapsed.

"I'm sorry... I know I was wrong..."

The little boy suppressed his tears and lowered his head. His deer ears hidden in his short silver-white hair drooped down, and he looked wilted.

Su Ci looked at him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The little white deer is very smart. Although he is young, he has already shown enough intelligence. However, he also tends to think too much. Unlike the little wolf cub, he is not silly and does not take things to heart.

Su Ci thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to apologize."

Upon hearing this, the little white deer, who was still sad, was stunned.

He raised his head and saw the young man's hand falling down. He did not move, but watched as the warm palm pressed on the top of his head and rubbed it hard.

This somewhat intimate gesture dispelled all his uneasiness.

Then he heard the keeper say, "From today on, you can go anywhere in the nursery."

The little white deer could never have imagined that the breeder would say something like this...

He stared at Su Ci blankly as he continued, "You can come and go as you please, visit other cubs' rooms, and choose whether to go to the activity room or play outside."

"As long as it doesn't bother other people and doesn't destroy things, you can do whatever you want."

At this point, Su Ci paused and added, "Of course, only during the day."

Although restrictions were imposed in the end, this was already extremely shocking information to Little White Deer. With every word Su Ci spoke, his expression became more dull.

Only at the end, after digesting all these words, did he foolishly ask, "Really... is it okay?"

Can they really go wherever they want, without being locked up in their rooms every day, without being watched wherever they go, and play wherever they want?

This kind of freedom is something the little white deer could never imagine no matter how hard he tried!

Su Ci nodded lightly.

Thinking of Yan Ping, Gu Qingchen and the others, he hesitated for a moment, but still explained to them: "Restricting your freedom before was a form of protection for you."

This is actually a helpless move. The frequency of the cubs' frenzy has reached the limit of the 24th base's tolerance. Confining them in the room can not only reduce their destructive power, but also reduce the damage to other cubs and base members.

But this move made out of helplessness does not mean it is correct.

Being in a closed environment for a long time is not conducive to the growth of the cubs. If this continues, it will eventually end up like No. 2.

These cubs need guidance and care, but for Su Ci, this is just a piece of cake.

"Now, it's no longer necessary." Su Ci said.

The little white deer looked at him and asked blankly, "Why?"

"because……"

Su Ci curled the corners of his lips slightly and whispered, "I'm here."

The little white deer looked at the smile on the young man's face. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but when he really heard such a "promise", he was still shocked.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Because he felt that all languages ​​were so pale and poor, and the vocabulary he knew was not enough to express his feelings at the moment.

In short, looking at the breeder standing in front of him, he inexplicably felt a sense of confidence, a sense of security that he had never felt since he could remember, which was buried in his heart like a seed.

While Su Ci was talking to Xiaolu Jiao, the little wolf cub had already pulled Xiao Zhengxing to the edge of the pool.

When he heard Su Ci asking him to wash his face, little Langze knew that the breeder was not angry, so he naturally felt no psychological burden and his eyes could not help but look around.

The first thing that caught his attention was naturally the two large pools in front of him.

The two pools are about ten meters long and wide, and are bottomless. They are soaked with pieces of transparent gelatinous substances. There are beautiful patterns engraved on the walls of the pools, and light is constantly shining.

The light red light he had just seen seemed to be emitted from these lines.

The pool was full, reflecting shimmering patterns in the sunlight, which was very beautiful. It didn't look so weird that way.

"Xingxing, there are two pools here. Follow me and don't move. Go in carefully."

Little Langze took good care of little Zhengxing. Knowing that he was blind, he always kept him by his side. "Can you swim? You look like a cat, right? Cats can't swim, right?"

Little Zhengxing listened to him quietly, his little hands tightly grasping the hem of his clothes.

He could also tell that the breeder was not angry, so he felt relaxed. But... why did Langze react like that just now?

Will I be beaten if I sneak away?

This was something that was difficult to understand for the little Zhengxing, who had lived in a nursery since childhood and had never been exposed to the dangers of the outside world. The child couldn't help but have some doubts in his mind.

But he didn't ask.

The little wolf cub didn't know why he reacted so strongly just now, but after being tapped on the forehead by the breeder, he woke up and now he has forgotten everything that happened just now.

He had a natural trust in the keeper, so when he saw the pool water, he squatted down without thinking and prepared to reach out to scoop up water to wash his face.

After they came over, A Yan stood aside and watched. When he saw the little wolf cub trying to put his hand into the pool, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Wait a moment."

A clear and calm young man's voice came from the communicator.

"who?"

Suddenly, Xiao Langze was startled when he heard a stranger talking. He stopped, looked up and looked around, but saw that there was no one around. He couldn't help but move closer to Xiao Zhengxing in confusion.

"Xingxing, did you hear someone talking just now?" he asked in a low voice.

Xiao Zhengxing nodded, "Yeah."

Although he couldn't see, his hearing was very sensitive. Not only did he hear it, he also roughly determined the man's location, but...

"Can't you see him?" he whispered.

“Yeah, I didn’t see anyone…”

The usually courageous little wolf cub looked at the empty muddy land around him and then at the two pools glowing red, and suddenly felt creepy again.

However, he did not turn around and run away in fear as A Yan had expected.

"Are you...are you a ghost?" The little wolf cub looked in the direction of A Yan and asked tentatively.

Seeing that he was obviously scared but still trying hard to appear brave, A Yan couldn't help but tilt his head. The feeling of communicating directly with others was a novel experience for him.

He couldn't help but look at Su Ci.

Su Ci was also looking at him. Naturally, he heard what A Yan had just said.

Su Ci did not object to this.

Even the reason why he gave this communicator to A Yan was for this reason. He felt that it would be a good thing for A Yan to spend more time with these cubs.

And now, Ayan has also taken his first step.

After understanding Su Ci's meaning, A Yan calmed down and continued to input text into the communicator.

"I'm number one," he said. "You can also call me Ayan."

From the moment Susu told Yan Ping his name, Ayan knew that Susu encouraged him to establish connections with other people in the base - of course, on the premise of ensuring safety.

The three children who suddenly ran out in front of her were all named by Susu. To a certain extent, they were trusted and loved by Susu.

As long as Susu likes it, he will like it too.

A Yan continued to say to the little wolf cub, "The concentration of pollutants in this pool of water is very high. It's best for you not to touch it."

This is also the reason why he spoke out to remind you.

The little wolf cub and the little white deer were stunned.

"Number one?"

"Ayan?"

They looked at the empty pool and said in disbelief, "So there really is a number one!"

It was no secret that there was a cub in the nursery that no one had ever seen.

So, after the initial shock, the little wolf cub quickly accepted A Yan's existence.

"So your ability is invisibility, right?" With his keen sense of smell, the little wolf cub almost did not misjudge A Yan's location after locking onto him.

At this moment, three children, or to be exact, four children were staying together by the pool.

Not far from them, the breeder was busy again.

It’s not that Su Ci doesn’t want them to help, but the actual situation doesn’t allow it.

First, they were too weak, and second, the remains of the giant spider carried a strong concentration of pollutants that even ordinary adults could not bear, let alone these cubs who were troubled by the power of their bloodline.

Little Langze's ferocity was aroused as soon as he approached him. If he really let them deal with it, he would probably have to waste his soul power to appease them again.

Calculated this way, the loss outweighs the gain.

Therefore, Su Ci had to deal with the spider meat himself.

Although they couldn't help much, the little wolf cubs were reluctant to leave, so they sat obediently in a row beside them.

The wolf cub's dirty face has been washed clean.

A Yan went back to the dormitory and fetched a bucket of clean water for him to wash.

Naturally, the wolf cub and the white deer were stunned when they saw a bucket of water just floating in front of them.

Only Xiao Zhengxing, who couldn't see, seemed very calm.

They sat side by side, and little Langze turned his head from time to time, unable to help but look towards where A Yan was.

Although he still couldn't see anyone, he could smell A Yan's breath, see A Yan's shoe prints on the muddy ground, and vaguely hear the subtle sound of fabric rubbing against each other.

This is so much fun!

After knowing that A Yan’s ability was invisibility, little Langze was almost envious to death.

"This ability is so cool!" he said in admiration. "Then Ayan, can you show me what you look like?"

All the cubs were very curious about Number One, whom they had never seen before.

Xiaolu Jiao, who was still in shock, couldn't help but look over when she heard that. Her eyes were wide open, and it was obvious that she didn't want to miss it either.

As for little Zhengxing... he squatted beside the little wolf cub, with his head lowered, his little hands still stroking the muddy ground, marveling at the unfamiliar touch, and once again immersed in his own little world, feeling contented.

Faced with two pairs of expectant eyes, A Yan could only refuse mercilessly.

"cannot."

In fact, he didn't know how to make others see him. Now the only one who could see him was Su Su.

Perhaps he will have to wait until he has learned all the divine texts and becomes truly powerful before he can reveal himself?

The little wolf cub was a little disappointed, but he knew that he couldn't force it.

After all, they just talked today and their relationship is not that good yet. There will be plenty of opportunities once they become friends in the future!

"Where do you usually live? Do you need to eat?" Xiaolu Jiao also opened up and expressed curiosity about No. 1's food and accommodation.

"Well, I live with Susu." A Yan said.

He does live with Susu now, this is the truth, and he has no intention of showing off.

However, upon hearing this, the two children couldn't help but exclaim. Even little Zhengxing temporarily gave up playing in the mud and raised his little head to turn to him.

The three children's eyes were sparkling, and the little white deer's face was full of envy.

"Then Susu must like you very much!"

Hearing this, A Yan unconsciously curled the corners of his lips. He suddenly felt that these three children were really cute. No wonder Su Su was willing to give them names.

"So what do you like to do in your daily life?" Xiao Langze asked again.

"Writing, cooking, and farming." A Yan counted on his fingers the things he liked to do, and then picked a few at random to answer.

"Can you write?" the little white deer asked quickly, "How many characters can you write?"

"Almost everyone can write it." A Yan said.

Because of the presence of Xiao Langze and the others, he couldn't concentrate on studying the formation. Plus, he was a little bored, so he simply picked up a metal stick and started writing on the dirt.

He wrote the names of the three children on the ground one by one.

A Yan's handwriting is very beautiful. Even when writing on the mud, one can see his skill, which is not much worse than the breeder's handwriting.

Little Langze had already forgotten how to write his own name, but Little Bailu, as he looked at A Yan's handwriting, the envy on his face gradually turned into admiration.

"You write so beautifully... You can actually write so many words! How did you do it?" Little White Deer always easily develops a liking for knowledgeable people.

A Yan thought for a moment and said, "When you are as old as me, you will be able to write as many words as me."

He doesn't know how he did it, but he'll learn it if he watches it enough, right?

A Yan's words did not arouse any suspicion.

After all, as No. 1 in the nursery, A Yan must have stayed there longer than No. 2, so he must be older than all of them.

In addition, the voice that A Yan chose was a mature voice of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old. Naturally, the children could not imagine that he was actually younger than they looked.

When the little white deer was impressed by A Yan's literacy, little Langze asked another question.

"Then what are cooking and farming?"

Even the knowledgeable little Langze couldn't figure out what these two things meant.

“Cooking means making delicious food.”

“Wow! Delicious!”

When he heard about food, little Langze's eyes lit up, "What delicious food can you make?"

"A lot, barbecue, stir-fry..."

A Yan listed the food he had cooked, and every time he mentioned one, little Langze's eyes brightened a little.

“You’re really amazing!”

The little wolf cub looked at him and wanted to say, "Can you let me try it?"

But Ah Yan obviously didn't notice. He acted like a real older brother, patiently answering their questions one by one. "As for farming..."

He thought about it and edited a message to Su Ci.

Su Ci, who was half-closed his eyes and mechanically processing the spider meat, glanced at the message he sent, yawned, and nodded at him.

After getting consent, A Yan said, "Come with me, I'll take you to see Xiaomiao."

He quickly moved to the plot of land where the plants were planted, and then made some noise to attract the attention of the three children.

"This way." He said on the communicator.

After discovering that A Yan had run so far away in the blink of an eye, Xiao Langze and Xiao Lujiao looked at each other and could see surprise in each other's eyes.

It’s really fast!

They can't catch up with this speed!

The little wolf cub, who had originally refused to accept anyone's advice, was now somewhat impressed. This Number One... was truly strong! And he seemed to know so much. No wonder Su Su liked him so much...

"Do you want to come over?" A Yan's voice came again.

"Here I come!"

The wolf cub immediately responded and decided to go see what farming was all about.

It must be a lot of fun!
