Chapter 293: IF Path Bazel: Willing to Give Everything
Anno held the baby bottle and drank, her finger tapping on the projection screen in front of her.
Seeing her curiosity about his personal computer, Bazel opened a split screen for her and switched it to guide mode.
Anno can watch whatever he wants based on the system's guidance.
Following the guidance of the system's gentle female voice, she opened the language learning interface of the Northern River Galaxy, which was still at the beginner level.
The little cub's calmness and wisdom beyond that of other children his age surprised him, but deep down he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
He found her on an ancient planet when she was just a tiny egg.
He placed her in a petri dish using the same methods he used to cultivate people from the Northern River Star. He was initially unsure of what kind of creature she was, but a voice seemed to be guiding him, leading him, almost unconsciously, to bring the white egg back.
Before long, the cub hatched from the egg. Seeing her physical characteristics, he had no doubt that she was a Northern River Star person and a Fire Seed.
He didn't understand why a spark of life would be out there, still inside an egg.
He raised her like this for three years, and her energy continued to communicate with him, deepening their bond.
With the arrival of his baby, he began to have hope for his otherwise bleak life.
He was willing to give everything to take good care of her.
Anno was very clever; based on Bazel's name, he used a smart interface to translate his own name.
The main reason is that the technology in this world is very intelligent, so she didn't have to put in too much effort to find what she wanted through guidance.
After confirming that the female voice inside had translated correctly, Anno read it twice along with the voice, and then said his name to Bazel in the language of the Northern River System, "An...no, Anno."
She wanted Bazel to call her by her name, instead of constantly calling her baby.
Although she didn't know how she was reborn back to the appearance of a three-year-old, she had lived to the age of sixteen, and she felt very uncomfortable when others called her "baby".
Bazel understood what she meant. Seeing the little cub so persistently and awkwardly pronouncing its name in the Northern River language, his heart softened, and he smiled slightly, "Anno, is that the baby's name?"
Anno nodded twice. She had finally let Bazel know her name, and she felt a small sense of accomplishment.
Bazel patted her head. "Don't you like me calling you baby?"
Anno continued to nod, then pointed to herself, awkwardly pronouncing her name, "An...no...no..."
Bazel looked at her tenderly, "Then how about I call you Nono?"
Anuo thought about it and agreed. It was better than calling her "baby," since she wasn't a baby at all.
Seeing Bazel's hand resting beside her, she took his hand. "Bazel."
Then, like a little animal, she rubbed her cheek against his hand, with an indescribable dependence.
After Anno finished making the move, he was also stunned for a moment.
She stared intently at Bazel. She seemed genuinely not averse to him, because of her unpleasant past experiences, she felt very uncomfortable whenever a man got close to her.
After a while, she placed her hand on his chest. There was always a faint energy flowing through her body, and when she was with Bazel, this energy would cover him. This was why she did not reject Bazel and even wanted to get close to and rely on him.
She trusted him, not only because of this energy, but also because through this energy she vaguely remembered that when she was still in that jar, Bazel often spoke to her, and sometimes he would have many scars on his face, just like he does now.
She tried to reach out and touch Bazel's face, but she couldn't reach it.
Bazel sensed her intention and lowered her head so that her little hands could reach her.
"Does it hurt?"
When Anno asked the question, he realized he was speaking an Earth language, which Bazel couldn't understand at all.
But Bazel understood what she meant and gently said in his hand, "It doesn't hurt."
Anno recalled some memories that seemed to indicate that every time her body was enveloped in a warm and comfortable substance, Bazel would be injured.
He's the one supporting himself.
As she thought this, a gentle, water-like energy flowed from her fingertips and entered Bazel's body.
Bazel's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Anno froze, staring in shock at her hands. When did she gain superpowers?
Bazel was also taken aback by Anno's sudden energy. He knew that she was a spark, and that she would have the ability to purify, upgrade her genetic level, and recover in the future.
But that's an ability that only sparks that are about to reach adulthood possess. Young sparks also need to learn how to use their abilities, and their energy increases in tandem with age.
In just a short while, Nono had completely healed all of his wounds, something that ordinary fire-breed cubs could not do.
As he was still in surprise, an alarm sounded on his personal terminal.
He installed a detector on the vehicle that would sound an alarm if anyone approached.
His expression hardened, and he immediately asked if Number 29 had arrived.
Number 29 quickly replied to him, "Look at our shared distance, I'm still 20 kilometers away from you. You're being watched, so you should hide. I'll try to get there as quickly as possible."
As the detector showed that the approaching person was getting closer and closer, less than 500 meters away, Bazel immediately started the land vehicle and flew forward at top speed.
Using their familiarity with the surrounding terrain, they circled between valleys and abandoned areas.
He was waiting here for the 29th because he had placed some shielding devices here, which would help him avoid being tracked by anyone coming.
The person who chased after him was Hicks. He had professional tracking equipment. When he saw the red dot that had been stationary suddenly move again and then disappear from the device, he knew that the other party knew he was coming and had probably seen him at the petri dish factory before.
Bazel circled the ruins for a while, and when Number 29 was very close to him, Hicks's aircraft came into view.
His expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned his land vehicle around. As soon as he moved, a huge gray wolf pounced on his land vehicle.
The car jolted violently, startling Anuo.
She also saw the enormous wolf, her expression turning slightly grave. Was it a mutated creature? Or were the creatures of this world just this big?
She had rarely seen a wolf of such a large size; if she did, it would be a fierce battle.
Bazel thought she was frightened, so he quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her into his arms. "Don't be afraid, Nono."
He then drew his energy gun from his waist and fired at Hicks.
Hicks easily dismantled the vehicle's drivetrain, leaving it wrecked on the ground and unable to start again.
Bazel jumped out of the car with Anno in his arms. Since Hicks had come for Nono, he dared not forcibly take the Fire Seed for its safety.
Hicks and Ava surrounded Bazel, one in front and one behind.
Bazel held Anno tightly, pressing his back against the wall of a house behind him to avoid being ambushed.
Seeing the Fire Seedling in his hands, Hicks dared not act recklessly.
This little firefly looks three or four years old; I never imagined he had secretly raised it to be this big.
Anno clung to Bazel's neck, watching the two enormous beasts before him with a wary expression.
At this moment, she desperately missed her sixteen-year-old body; otherwise, she could have fought alongside Bazel.
Just as Hicks was about to transform back into human form to negotiate with Bazel, two small devices landed in front of him and Ava at the same time.
The next second, the instrument lit up, and the immense gravity pulled the two of them violently toward the ground.
A lithe figure landed in front of Bazel and Anno.
Number 29 gave them a roguish smile: "What are you all standing there for? Your big brother is here to save you."
