Chapter 189: Little White
A few days later, the adoptive parents still hadn't been found, but Caesar did find White Boat and Tuka.
The two were badly wounded; when Caesar found them, they had almost been killed by a group of Northern River Allied soldiers.
At the time, Tuka was with her adoptive family and was on the same flight path as White Boat's spaceship when they were attacked by the rebels.
In the chaos, Tuka and Baizhou, along with the others, landed on a desolate planet.
Tuka was slightly luckier and didn't become a Fallen One, but as a child of only thirteen, it would be difficult for her to survive on a desolate planet.
Throughout this time, Bai Zhou protected her and prevented her from being attacked by other Fallen Ones.
They helped her find food and survived together on the abandoned planet for many days.
Before Caesar found them, the two discovered a base of the Northern Allied forces on the abandoned planet.
If Tuka is able to enter the North River base alone, and she hasn't become a Fallen One, the North River Allies will definitely take her in.
But she also carried Bai Zhou, who had become a corrupted being, with her; she wanted to leave with him.
Now, because the North River discovered that the Zerg had transformed all the Fallen race into Zerg, they have begun to massacre the Fallen race.
Therefore, the Fallen Ones all stay far away from the North River Base and dare not approach it at all.
Tuka originally wanted to steal a spaceship and leave with White Boat, but he was discovered by the Northern River Allied Forces.
The Northern River Allied forces wanted to take Tuka away, but White Boat, who was about to become a corrupted being, killed him.
Tuka transformed into a beast to help Bai Zhou withstand the attack. If Caesar hadn't arrived in time, the two of them would probably have died under the shells of the Northern River Allied Forces.
Outside the base, in the spacious square, Tuka stood guard beside Bai Zhou, not allowing anyone to get close. If anyone did, she would pounce and bite them.
Bai Zhou's breath was already very weak, and his body was covered in wounds, with blood flowing all over the ground.
Seeing Tuka's appearance, Anno was reminded of the time on Kappa Star when Tuka was covered in wounds and nearly died while protecting her.
She is always trying her best to protect others.
Anno tried to approach Tuka, but as soon as she did, Tuka lunged at her. Caesar and the others tried to stop her, but Anno stopped them through her consciousness network.
"Don't move, she can't hurt me."
Tuka pinned Anno to the ground with one paw. Upon seeing her face, his bared teeth gradually retracted, and his nose twitched as he sniffed her scent.
Upon smelling her familiar scent, Tuka's pupils contracted slightly.
She is... a little baby?
Anno reached out and touched her nose. "I am Tuka, I am Anunu."
Tuka immediately released her and transformed back into human form.
As soon as Anno sat up from the ground, Tuka threw himself on her and started crying.
"Little one, Anunu, please save Bai Zhou, save Brother Bai."
Hearing "Brother Xiaobai," Anuo's heart trembled. She stroked Tuka's back to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, I will save him."
After calming Tuka down, she went to the dying Bai Zhou and used her healing abilities to help him recover from his injuries.
Before long, his and Tuka's injuries were fully healed.
Bai Zhou also opened his eyes from his coma.
When Tuka saw that Bai Zhou had woken up, she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
Bai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tuka was safe and sound.
He stuck out his tongue and licked her, as if to comfort her.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, he immediately stood up, his long tail encircling Tuka, growling fiercely, and warily eyeing the people around him.
Compared to Tao Tao Le's harmless appearance when she entered the base, Bai Zhou is now showing the true nature of a fallen species.
Tuka grabbed his tail and comforted him, saying, "It's okay, Little White, it's safe here, and the little one is here too."
Bai Zhou also noticed Anuo standing in front of them. He was still in an attack stance, but a hint of doubt and surprise appeared in his eyes.
Before he could figure anything out, a huge husky pounced on him.
"Woof woof woof!"
Anuo was startled; it was too late to stop Tao Tao Le.
Tao Tao Le smelled Bai Zhou's familiar scent and wanted to play with him.
But right now, Bai Zhou doesn't recognize anyone except Tuka, and he's on high alert.
When Tao Tao pounced, Bai Zhou immediately became ferocious and lunged at her with all his might.
Startled by Bai Zhou's sudden attack, Tao Tao Le tucked its tail between its legs and howled pitifully.
Although she had fought before in exile, Bai Zhou was clearly more ferocious than her. Both of them were canines, and Bai Zhou's imposing aura made her tremble all over and dare not get up.
Bai Zhou bit her neck and tried to shake her off, but Tu Ka transformed into a beast and pounced on him, thus averting a tragedy.
Just then, Mao Mao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pounced on the black and white fox that was bullying its friend.
"Mao Mao!"
Anno gave a soft snort, stopping the furry creature before it could bite.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Zhou pounced on Mao Mao again, biting Mao Mao until it howled.
Everyone else covered their faces as they stared at the two tall, showy guys. They looked fierce, but if they actually fought, they'd only be left crying.
Seville used his abilities to temporarily control the raging White Boat. Peach and Momo were covered in dog hair and fur from being bitten, and the two sat together looking aggrieved.
Mao Mao was alright; she has thick skin and wasn't bitten at all, though she was barking loudly.
Tao Tao Le was bitten in several places, and Anuo helped her heal her wounds.
After a chaotic commotion that lasted for most of the day, Bai Zhou was finally separated in a spacious area and isolated using a defensive magnetic field before things calmed down.
Tuka was initially uneasy and stayed by Bai Zhou's side. Only after Anuo comforted her a few times did she feel a little more at ease.
After learning that the husky was Tao Tao Le and seeing Baroque, her tense emotions finally eased.
Anuo took her to take a bath and have a meal. Her eyes were red the whole time, but she was stubborn and hadn't shed a tear since she woke up in Baizhou.
"Anunu, I thought I would never see you again."
Tuka sniffed and said to Anno.
Not only did she think she would never see Anuo again, she even felt that she would not survive.
She had struggled to survive on Kappa, and was eventually rescued by Hicks. She returned to the home planet and was adopted by a new family. After only six months of good life, she returned to her old life.
Seeing her like this, Anno felt a pang of sadness. She patted her back reassuringly, "Tuka, you're safe now."
Tuka grasped Anno's hand. "Anunu, let me be with you. I know you are now the little queen of the Zerg, and you can turn the corrupted into your kind. My adoptive parents, and my older brother and sister, have also become corrupted. If they are still alive, let them become your kind. I just want them to live well. If possible, let me become your kind as well, let me go to the battlefield and help you kill the enemy."
Over the years, Beihe had broken her heart, and now she was filled with nothing but hatred.
All the causes and effects were caused by Beihe. Even before the Zerg allies could invade, their own people had already wounded them badly. How could she not hate them?
She is now just like some organizations in Beihe that are waiting to be destroyed, wishing that Beihe would be wiped out.
Anno didn't speak; she simply pulled her into her arms.
“You don’t need to become one of my people, and I will still protect you.”
Even if Tuka becomes one of her people, she won't let her go to the battlefield. She's still so young; she's just a baby in the Zerg race.
Unless absolutely necessary, Zerg members who have not yet reached adulthood and reached a stable stage do not need to go to the battlefield.
Anno went to see Bai Zhou. Bai Zhou should only be eighteen years old now, not yet the adulthood age for the people of Beihe Star.
She stood outside the cage formed by the magnetic field, watching him. He lay on the ground, his emotions much more stable than before.
Upon seeing her, Bai Zhou stood up and walked towards her.
He lingered in front of the magnetic field, without showing any aggressive behavior towards her.
"Third Brother," she called out to him.
Bai Zhou stopped walking and stared at her intently.
At that moment, she felt that he seemed to recognize her.
She had Caesar turn off the magnetic field and then reached out her hand to the white boat.
As Bai Zhou approached, he began to bare his teeth, and Caesar remained on high alert for Bai Zhou's attack.
In the end, Anno's hand still touched his mouth.
Bai Zhou put away his teeth and bowed his head to nuzzle her hand.
Anuo breathed a sigh of relief and patted his head. "Third brother, once I find Mom and Dad, I'll reunite you all."
Seeing him and Tao Tao Le like this, she felt she couldn't wait any longer. She had to go with Caesar and the others to find her adoptive parents. The longer she waited, the more anxious she became.
