Chapter 126: Eavesdropping
She's still a child, why should she have to endure all this?
Lokin crouched down, touched her cheek, and hugged her tightly.
Nono, Mommy's baby, Mommy really can't bear to part with you. Mommy wants you to be Mommy's baby forever. Mommy wants to protect you before you encounter these harms.
Nono, Mom will definitely let you come home.
Anno sensed that something was wrong with Lokin's mood, so she reached out and patted her back. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Logan quickly composed himself and said softly, "Mommy just wants to hug you, baby."
Upon hearing this, Anno wrapped her arms around Luo Jin's neck and hugged him tightly.
Logan felt Anno's movements, and his heart ached and softened, his eyes almost welling up with tears.
At 7 p.m., Locke and his family boarded a flying vehicle and headed towards their home in Hailier.
Somewhere on the Green Hill, Bazell received a message from Sims.
He clicked on it and saw a genetic report, along with information about the rebels' recent movements and plans.
He opened the genetic report, read it carefully, and his eyes widened instantly, utterly shocked.
Nono is not only a Zerg, but the bright golden gene spot in her gene sequence clearly tells him that she is a Queen Zerg.
The seed he picked up from ancient Earth turned out to be a small queen beetle.
He didn't understand why a tiny queen insect like Nuonuo would be lost on ancient Earth, and why it would become the spark of the North River system.
Bazel paused for a moment and continued reading Sims's information. The rebels had begun to use Nono's identity to prepare for a major operation and were going to negotiate with the Northern River Federation.
If they can't reach an agreement, they will reveal Nono's identity to the public, exposing the disgraceful deeds of the Northern River Federation to the entire universe.
Sims also emphasized that the terms of the rebel negotiations were very important, and that they were what the Northern River Federation used to control the Zerg and prevent them from taking any action for the time being.
After reading it, Bazel took a deep breath, his doubts deepening.
Nono is the little queen insect of the Zerg. For the Zerg, the queen insect is their most important thing, their whole life, and they would rather give up their entire race to protect it.
Why did Nono become the spark? What shady things did the Northern River Federation do that allowed the rebels to use Nono's identity to threaten them?
Bazel was filled with doubt and unease. He had a bad feeling that Nono would be harmed.
He didn't care what Nuonuo was, whether she was a spark or a Zerg, she was his seed, and he wouldn't allow her to be harmed in any way; she had to grow up happily.
Bazel sent a message to Sims, instructing him to find out the terms being negotiated between the rebels and the Northern River Federation.
After sending the message, he followed in the direction Anuo and the others had left.
"Oh, welcome, welcome! We welcome you to our home for dinner."
As soon as Anno and his group arrived at Hailier's house, Huo Yin's adoptive parents and their family came to greet them.
When Huo Yin saw Anuo, he quickly came forward, grabbed her hand, and led her into the house.
Seeing Huo Yin's actions, both Luo Jin and Huo Yin's mother smiled.
"Huo Yin, your heart only belongs to your Nuonuo."
Ota snorted. If this weren't someone else's home, he would have beaten up the kid for always hogging Xiao Qi.
Bai Zhou narrowed his eyes, looking at Huo Yin's back with ill intent.
"Nono, here's the latest fighter jet for you."
In the living room, Huo Yin handed Anuo a very exquisite toy fighter jet, and then brought over a toolbox. He knew that every time Anuo got a new toy, he would reassemble it.
Anno studied the fighter jet once, then took out tools from the toolbox and began to disassemble it.
Before she could even take two steps off the mask, Karina came over and scooped her up in her arms. "Wash your hands and eat."
Huo Yin saw Anuo being taken away and immediately followed.
Suddenly, Huo Yin felt a sharp pain in his head and stopped in his tracks. A certain command flashed through his mind, instructing him to turn around and walk upstairs to the study.
He stopped in front of the study, and through the half-open door, he saw Hailier, Tangting, and Locke.
They seemed to be talking inside, but you couldn't hear anything.
A certain consciousness in his mind was still reminding him what to do next. He took out a small silver disc and an earphone from his pocket, stuck the disc to the wall on one side of the door, and their voices immediately came through the earphone.
"They've been blinded by immediate gains! They've lost their very essence as people of the North River Star! If this continues, the North River Star System will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later!"
Tang Ting: "Commander, we must find the baby's core as soon as possible. Her Zerg gene is being devoured at an accelerated rate. If this continues, she will be completely devoured before she even gets the core."
Lokin: "Commander-in-Chief, I know you were the only one who stopped them back then. Do you know where Baby's core is located?"
Huo Yin's hand, which was resting on the wall, tightened instantly.
Hailier: "The reason I called you here today is to talk to you about this matter. Last time I asked them to take out the core and return it to the little cub, but they argued endlessly and were determined not to return it. Only Aled and two other people know the location of the core. I was on guard duty at the time and only knew the general location."
Tang Ting and Luo Jin asked almost simultaneously, "Where?!"
Hailier: "They sent it towards the Tianjin Tower, but I don't know exactly where they put it."
Tang Ting and Luo Jin exchanged a glance; they were actually at the Sky Tower.
Tang Ting said, "Placing the core in the Sky Tower is both logical and unexpected."
The Sky Tower is a very special place on Tianhe Star. There is a floating island there, which is suspended in mid-air by a peculiar energy and magnetic field. There are also many floating rocks of various sizes around it.
The floating island was enormous, almost the size of Isabelle.
On the floating island is a landmark building, a very tall tower called the Sky Tower, so the entire floating island is named after the Sky Tower.
The people living on the Sky Tower are all beasts with bird genes. They have bad tempers, don't interact much with the outside world, and are very xenophobic, almost like mermaids, living in complete isolation.
If we want to find it, we must find a way to get to the island.
After hearing what they said, Huo Yin took off the small round piece and turned to go downstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, food had begun to be placed on the dining table one after another. Anuo had already taken her seat early, but her older brother and sister had already taken her seats on either side.
Huo Yin pursed his lips and squeezed past Ota.
Ota's forehead vein throbbed, and he almost snapped the spoon in his hand.
"what are you up to?"
Huo Yin said expressionlessly, "This is my seat."
Ota: "I was here first!"
Huo Yin: "This is my seat."
Anno knew that Huo Yin was very persistent; he would rather stand still than back down.
Just as she was about to suggest switching seats with him, Karina, who was sitting next to her, stood up, moved her chair a little to the side, and then slipped a chair between Ota and her.
Ota was so angry her mouth almost twisted into a crook. "Second sister, you're my sister! Not Huo Yin's!"
Karina nodded: "I know."
Then she sat back down in her seat and continued cutting the roast meat for Anno.
After all the dishes were served, Luo Jin and the others came downstairs.
Seeing Anno sitting at the dining table eating attentively, Tang Ting and Luo Jin unconsciously clasped hands together.
Tang Ting squeezed Luo Jin's palm, and the two looked at each other, both seeing determination in each other's eyes.
After dinner, Logan and his family prepared to go home.
Huo Yin held Anuo's hand, "Stay."
Logan laughed and said, "Shall we come again next time?"
Huo Yin: "Then I'll go to your house."
Ota and Bai Zhou clenched their fists. How could this kid be so shameless!
Luo Jin looked at Anuo: "Baby, would you like to stay at Huo Yin's house for the night?"
Anuo nodded. It was only for one night, and with Huo Yin there, she always felt inexplicably at ease.
Hailier immediately said, "Why don't we let Nuonuo stay at our house for one night, so that Huo Yin won't keep thinking about her all the time?"
Tang Ting and Luo Jin hesitated. It wasn't that they didn't trust Hailier and the others, but Anno had always been under their care.
Huo Yin's mother, Su Ya, said, "Don't worry, we will take good care of the baby."
Karina said, "Mother, I can stay and look after Xiao Qi."
Ji Yu immediately replied, "Yes, with Karina around, she can definitely keep an eye on Xiao Qi."
Su Ya smiled and glanced at Ji Yu. This nephew of theirs knew that Luo Jin's family was coming over for a meal, so he rushed over as fast as he could.
Seeing this, Luo Jin had no objections. "Alright, we feel at ease with you here."
