Chapter 83

Number Two was struggling with his thoughts when suddenly his ears moved slightly and he turned towards the door.

He heard the noisy movement outside the room and couldn't help but frown.

Who's outside?

The boy looked up at the clock on the wall. It wasn't time to go out yet? Could it be...

Number Two extended his mental power and indeed "saw" the little wolf cub standing in front of his door and talking. Of course, in addition to the little wolf cub, there was also a little white deer.

Both children seemed to be fine. It seemed that the monster that invaded the nursery that night was finally successfully eliminated.

I just don't know, how to solve it?

Number Two recalled the last scene he saw before he was engulfed in flames—he was carrying Number Seven on his back and rushing towards the giant spider.

Could it be that he, in his guise as the Red Flame Tiger, had taken care of the giant spider? The giant spider seemed to be afraid of the Red Flame, perhaps scared away?

Number Two was not arrogant enough to think that he could kill the giant spider, but judging from the battle situation at that time, he was not afraid of the big spider even after he turned into a red flame tiger.

I don't know why he didn't run away in the end? He didn't even leave the nursery... More importantly, even after he fully transformed into a beast, he wasn't taken away by the research institute.

Many doubts arose in Number Two's mind, but there was no way to get answers at the moment.

He wanted to wait until the activity time, when he could leave the room, to seek answers, but he found that the room next door, Room 403, belonging to the little kitten, was also open?

"Seeing" the child slowly walking out of the room, the boy felt something was wrong.

It's okay for number seven and eight, but could it be that even number three had his tail touched by the new keeper, and thus gained the right to go out as he pleased?

This is incredible no matter how you think about it!

With Number Three's personality, how could he do such a thing?

Number Two watched helplessly as the kitten lingered out of the room, met up with Numbers 7 and 8, and headed towards the elevator together, finally disappearing from his mental perception. He was completely stunned.

How long had he slept? Why did he feel so disconnected from the world?

The little white deer didn't know that No. 2 had woken up. After meeting the little wolf cub, he temporarily gave up going into No. 2's room to find him.

Today was his first day watering and fertilizing the seedlings, and he had taken the initiative to propose this task. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Brother Ayan by being late.

So, after Xiao Zhengxing came out of the room, the three of them went together to the outside of the nursery building.

The weather is clear today. Although the sky is still light red, the light is bright, and the reduced concentration of pollutants gives people a bright view.

When stepping out of the nursery building, the little wolf cub couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air.

"Wow! It feels so good!"

After all the time they had been in the nursery, this was the first time they had stepped out of the room and gone outside at such a time, and there were no nanny robots or keepers watching over them.

This feeling of freedom is so fresh!

The little white deer also nodded in agreement, but he was concerned about the seedlings in the field, so when the little wolf cub was attracted by the remains of the giant spider, he directly pulled the little boy back.

"Brother Ayan is still waiting for us. We can't be late." He said seriously.

The little wolf cub couldn't help but curl his lips. He looked at the remains of the giant spider, then at the little white deer, and finally could only reluctantly look away.

After all, the reason they were allowed to come out at this time was because they had to water and fertilize the seedlings. It was only the first day, so he had to perform well before he could continue.

Anyway, the giant spider is here. It’s not too late to find a chance to see it after watering the seedlings!

"Then let's go!"

After thinking clearly about the interests involved, the little wolf cub became active again. He picked up the slowly walking little Zhengxing and ran to the back of the building with a smile.

"Yoyo, come chase us!"

Unexpectedly, he suddenly jumped out of the game, so the little white deer quickly started running after them.

"Langze, wait for me!"

The two of them chased each other and soon arrived at the place.

However, when they arrived at the land where the seedlings were planted, they were stunned when they looked around.

I saw that on this piece of dark brown soil, there were originally only a few green and pointed seedlings growing, but today all of them have grown to at least the length of a thumb!

Moreover, each of these more than 30 ordinary seedlings has sprouted at least two or three leaves, which are lush green and stretching in the morning breeze.

This vibrant scene seemed to sweep away all the deadness and left a deep impression on the two children's hearts.

Even Xiao Zhengxing felt the difference.

After a night of sleep, his mental strength has fully recovered, so although he cannot see, he can still observe the world in the way he is most familiar with.

It was because of this that he felt even more shocked.

However, after the initial daze, he quickly regained his composure and focused on the center surrounded by all the ordinary seedlings.

On those two little spiritual buds.

Their growth rate is not as fast as that of ordinary seedlings, but they have grown a little taller than yesterday. Originally there was only a small bud tip, but now that tender green bud has also sprouted a small leaf.

“Together! Long, long, long!” “Together! Long, long, long!”

The delicate plant waved its only small leaf and shouted its usual slogan with great enthusiasm. Although Xiao Zhengxing could not understand what it was saying, he could feel the vigorous vitality emanating from it.

This vitality is not an abstract concept, but a real substance emanating from the little spiritual bud.

When this substance spread out and came into contact with those ordinary seedlings, the fluctuations released by these small green seedlings became obviously more active.

This kind of fluctuation, with a pure joy, made Xiao Zhengxing couldn't help but be infected.

It was this feeling that gave Xiao Zhengxing the courage to ask A Yan for help, because being around these little green plants made him feel comfortable, even more comfortable than being alone.

Little Zhengxing didn't know that the substance emitted by Jiaoqibao was spiritual energy, but this didn't prevent him from realizing the importance of these two small spiritual buds.

Although the lazy little one is still sleeping soundly and is not as energetic as its little friend, the aura emanating from it is no less than that of the delicate one.

It is because of their existence that the small green seedlings around them can grow so much overnight.

"You guys are here."

When the little wolf cub put down Little Zhengxing and the little white deer lay on the ground in surprise looking at Little Green Seedling, the calm and steady voice of the big brother rang out in the open space.

The little white deer quickly stood up and called out obediently, "Brother Ayan, good morning."

Seeing this, the little wolf cub also hurriedly got up and imitated the little white deer to greet A Yan: "Brother A Yan, good morning!"

“…”

Xiao Zhengxing hesitated for a moment, then followed suit in a low voice: "Ah... Brother Ayan... Good morning..."

Faced with the three people's unique ways of greeting, A Yan just nodded calmly.

"morning."

Then he reminded her, "Susu is still sleeping, please don't make any noise."

Hearing this, the little wolf cub subconsciously covered his mouth, his green eyes filled with fear, and the other two children nodded hurriedly.

It was so scary for Susu to be woken up!

The shadow cast on the children that night will probably follow them for the rest of their lives.

Seeing that they were obedient, A Yan nodded slightly, then pointed to the small green seedlings on the ground and said, "Okay, we need to water them first."

He handed a card to Little White Deer and said, "This is the watering amount for these 36 seedlings. I've written it down for each one. This is the measuring cup."

A Yan began to teach them how to use the measuring cup - it was distributed with the solid fertilizer, and there was only one, so the three children had to share this cup.

However, Xiao Zhengxing is blind, and although he has mental power to help, it is still inconvenient, so he still needs the help of his two friends.

Of course, the little wolf cubs didn't mind helping him.

After learning how to use the measuring cup, the three children got together and started working together.

A Yan watched from the side for a while and then felt relieved.

There are two spiritual plants here, and the water is also rich in spiritual energy, so these ordinary plant seedlings only need to be watered.

As for fertilizer, the three plants selected by Su Ci, as well as the star chain fruit itself, have roots that have an enrichment effect, and long-term planting can increase the nutrients in the soil.

Of course, the two spiritual plants have a large demand for nutrients and may snatch nutrients from the soil, so when nutrients are insufficient, appropriate fertilizer must be applied.

After handing the task of watering the small green seedlings to the three children, A Yan turned his attention to the star chain fruit vines.

Their growth is the best among these plants.

The originally dead vines have all turned green again, leaves have sprouted from each bud, and new vines have grown out and extended to the surrounding land.

At this growth rate, in a few days, it will probably cover this small piece of land...

A Yan recalled how the Star Chain Fruit was grown in the plantation, and felt that it was necessary to build a rack for the Star Chain Fruit vines.

Thinking back to that day when the Star Chain Fruit vines grew wildly and covered the walls, A Yan's eyes were filled with anticipation. What if the Star Chain Fruit vines covered the entire nursery building...

That scene must be beautiful, right?

Will Susu like it?

A Yan looked up at the entire nursery building, at the cold metal exterior, and imagined the grand scene that might appear in the future, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

He wanted to plant green plants all over this land. Then, whenever Susu opened the window and looked down, she would be able to see the vitality of the land.

Thinking of this, A Yan retracted his gaze again, and then took out the star chain fruit seeds that he had soaked last night.

The little monkey brought him hundreds of seeds. After soaking them overnight, about twenty or thirty of them broke through the skin and sprouted.

A Yan picked them out.

After the wolf cubs finished watering the plants, he called the children over.

"Will you join me in farming?" he asked.

The three little guys nodded without thinking. After seeing the small green seedlings grow so much taller overnight, their interest in farming was unprecedentedly high.

Even the little wolf cub had forgotten the remains of the giant spider.

How can it be more interesting to go and see a corpse than to plant seedlings?

and……

He pointed at the much larger Star Chain Fruit vines and couldn't help asking, "When they bloom and bear fruit, will we have Star Chain Fruit to eat?"

Upon hearing this, the little white deer's eyes lit up.

"Right! The Star Chain Fruit they planted will bear fruit in the future!" After the wolf cub said that, he belatedly realized this.

A Yan nodded, "You have put in the hard work, so of course you can enjoy the fruits of your labor together."

He also reminded, "The fruit you ate the day before yesterday was produced by those Star Chain Fruit Vines."

"Wow!"

Hearing this, the three children couldn't help but get excited.

"In addition to the Star Chain Fruit, there are three other plants: Jade Snow, Ying Cui Bean, and Golden Taro. They are all edible."

A Yan continued to paint the cake.

Because he was interested in plants and had spent some time in a plantation, he had some knowledge about them.

"The fruit of the Jade Snow is white, juicy, and sweet. It's delicious whether eaten raw or cooked or stewed."

"As for Ying Cui Dou and Huang Jin Ya, they also have different ways of eating. In terms of texture and taste, they can't be compared with meat jelly paste."

Although A Yan had never tried it, he knew how to say it in order to motivate the three little guys to the greatest extent.

Especially the little wolf cub he had the best eyes for, his saliva was drooling after he finished speaking.

"Then what are we waiting for?" the little wolf cub said impatiently, "Let's get planting! The sooner we plant, the sooner we can eat!"

A Yan was satisfied.

So he began to direct the three children to dig holes at the places he marked.

A Yan did not plan to plant the new star chain fruit seeds around the small spirit buds. It was already too crowded there. He would have to transplant them when the seedlings grew a little bigger.

Although they are far away from the little spiritual buds, they are watered with spiritual water, and the resentment in the land around the nursery has been dissipated, so these plants can now grow normally.

The growth rate may be slower due to poor soil, but there is nothing we can do about it for now.

After all, there are only two small spiritual plants, and not all plants can rely on them.

While the wolf cubs were digging, A Yan said to them, "These are the seeds of the Star Chain Fruit. When they grow into seedlings, we will pull the vines up to the building..."

The three children imagined the magnificent scene he described and couldn't help but feel longing for it, so they worked even harder.

Even little Zhengxing, thinking that he could feel these lovely plants in his room and fall asleep with their company at night, couldn't help but grab the small shovel and dig the soil with a grunt.

"It's a pity our room has no windows..."

After digging the hole, burying the sprouted seeds one by one and watering them, little Langze looked up at the fifth floor where he lived and couldn't help muttering.

The nursery building had no windows on all floors except the second and third floors. He couldn't tell where his room was from looking at it this way.

Hearing his complaints and feeling the disappointment of the other two children, A Yan thought for a moment and said, "If you behave well, I can help you apply to Su Su."

Since the cubs are allowed to enter and exit the room freely, it should be allowed to just open a window in the room.

Upon hearing this, little Langze jumped up immediately.

He dreamed of having a window in his room. A completely enclosed room often made him feel uncomfortable. If he could have a window, he could see the green plants downstairs...

When the star chain fruit vine grows up in the future, will he still be able to pick the fruit and eat it directly from the window?

The little wolf cub became very excited at the thought of this scene.

"Then what does it mean to behave well?" He wagged his big tail and looked expectantly at where A Yan was. "Brother A Yan, please teach us!"

When asking for help from others, little Langze is the sweetest.

"Brother Ayan, you are the best! You tell us what to do, and we promise to complete it well!" Then he pulled the little white deer.

The little white deer also recovered from its huge surprise and quickly nodded, "Yes! Brother A Yan, please teach us how to behave!"

Even Xiao Zhengxing followed suit and called out softly, "Brother Ayan..."

Faced with the pleading and begging of these three children, A Yan suddenly found that he seemed to be unable to bear it.

He also suddenly realized what a window meant to these children who had been locked in their rooms all year round. It might be something more tempting than any food.

"Um."

A Yan calmed himself down. Fortunately, he was speaking through a communicator, so the children didn't notice anything unusual about him.

His voice still sounded calm and reliable. He said, "I understand. Go wash your hands first."

The children had just dug the soil and their hands were covered in mud. Little Langze even had his face dirty.

Hearing this, the three children obediently ran to wash their hands and faces.

After they were clean, A Yan said, "Come with me to the kitchen."

"kitchen?"

The three children looked confused.

Obviously, they have never had the opportunity to come into contact with the kitchen in their limited lives, so they don’t know what this place is used for or where it is.

"Yes, on the first floor of the nursery..."

A Yan told them the approximate location and then said, "I'll wait for you there. If you want a window, come over."

Then, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

After waiting for a while, but not waiting for A Yan to speak, the little wolf cub sniffed the air and hesitantly called out, "Brother A Yan?"

Xiao Zhengxing said, "He's gone."

"Wow, that's fast!" the little wolf cub exclaimed, "Then let's go find him in the kitchen!"

After saying that, he quickly carried Xiao Zhengxing on his back and pulled the little white deer towards the entrance of the nursery building.

Behind the three children, the little spirit bud was still waving its leaves hard.

The plants that grew wildly in the morning light, heeding the call of the delicate child, continuously sprouted new buds, ushering in an explosive growth...

By the time the wolf cubs found the kitchen, A Yan had already taken out a large piece of spider meat from the cold storage and was thawing it on the table.

With Su Ci's instructions, the three children entered the kitchen very smoothly.

The little wolf cub saw the spider meat on the table at first sight. He suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "Brother Ayan, are you going to make something delicious?"

"Yeah." A Yan replied, "I'm going to make breakfast for Su Su."

With spider meat, although the ingredients are more abundant and Su Ci can eat his fill, the processing of the ingredients is more time-consuming.

Due to limited resources, the food processors equipped at the base do not have the function of processing ingredients and can only be used for cooking, so the ingredients must be processed manually.

Farming with three children delayed him today, and the spider meat still needed to be thawed. A Yan felt that he might not have time to prepare breakfast before Su Su got up.

But it would be different with the help of these three children.

"Help me cut these spider meat into small pieces." A Yan demonstrated how to cut the spider meat into appropriate sizes.

The little wolf cub kept swallowing his saliva. Even though he had just had breakfast, he felt hungry again.

"Brother Ayan, is spider meat delicious?" He asked as he rolled up his sleeves to help cut the meat.

"The meat of the giant spider is delicious." A Yan is very skilled in using the kitchen knife. He can cut the meat into pieces of appropriate size and very quickly.

The little wolf cub stared with his eyes wide open, not daring to be distracted any longer. After carefully cutting for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Can I have a piece when you're done?"

A Yan said nothing.

The little wolf cub continued to fight for it, and he said pitifully: "Just one piece is fine, let me taste what it tastes like, I haven't eaten real meat in a long time qaq"

If the little wolf didn't know that the meat in front of him was Susu's breakfast, and if he didn't have to behave well, he might have been unable to resist and secretly ate a piece of it raw.

For cubs that are in the growth period, meat is absolutely an essential nutrient.

Although the jelly they eat can also supplement nutrition, it is still not as tempting as real meat.

The little wolf cub's words were too aggrieved, and he had indeed behaved very well today. A Yan thought for a moment and said, "I can ask Su Su."

Hearing this, the little wolf cub grinned, then lowered his head and started working hard.

The job of cutting meat was too challenging for Xiao Zhengxing and Xiao Lujiao. Although they wanted to perform well, their little arms could not lift the knife after cutting only halfway.

Only the little wolf cub was still trying hard to eat the meat without any complaints.

While the wolf cubs were farming, in room 402, No. 2, who had been thinking for a long time, finally tentatively came to the door of the room.

He stood at the door, and before he could do anything, he saw the metal door slowly open in front of him.

The red-haired boy couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the empty corridor outside, his face full of disbelief.

He actually...got his freedom so easily?

The boy took tentative steps outside. When he finally reached the corridor, he stood there for a while and called out tentatively, "Is anyone there? I'm coming out."

After waiting for a while, no one paid any attention to him.

The boy was still worried and tried again, "I really came out!"

As a result, there was really nothing in the corridor except his echo.

Number Two scratched his head in disbelief. What was going on? Was the machine malfunctioning? His first reaction was to tiptoe towards the stairs. Now that no one was watching him, this was the perfect time to escape!

only--

When he reached the stairwell on the third floor, the boy stopped hesitantly.

The breeder’s dormitory... seems to be on the third floor?
