Chapter 107
When Ran Lie left Room 303, Su Ci had naturally disappeared.
After looking around, he controlled his not-so-coordinated limbs and walked towards the stairs.
Although the elevator could probably fit his fully beastly body, Ran Lie wanted to walk around and practice his coordination skills. After all, he didn't know how long he would have to walk with this beastly body.
Coming to the stairwell, looking at the stairs going down and up, Ran Lie hesitated and looked at the stairs leading to the fourth floor, then stepped up.
Now he is no longer in a hurry to escape.
Although he had not given up the idea of escaping from Base 24, since he had the hope of controlling the power of his bloodline, he could not give up like this.
As for how to escape in the future, whether to live in the red fog...
To be honest, Ran Lie didn't know either.
He is also in confusion now. Of course, the only thing that is certain is that he will definitely not be able to stay in Base 24 forever in the future. Let's take it one step at a time now.
Ran Lie came to the fourth floor, paused for a moment, and then continued walking to the fifth floor.
He didn't want to go back to the room for the time being. It was a rare opportunity for him to walk freely in the brooding kennel like this. Although it was not obvious on his face, his tail stood up behind him, with the tip of the tail slightly hooked and shaking gently.
The young Red Flame Tiger exuded a joyful aura.
When he reached the fifth floor, Ran Lie looked at the number on the door and finally stopped in front of Xiao Bailu's door.
If Number Seven saw him like this...
Ran Lie looked at his own reflection on the metal door.
In fact, as long as it doesn't bark or expose its belly to ask for patting, the image of the Red Flame Tiger is still very close to what he imagined, majestic and domineering.
After looking at it for a while and managing his expression, Ran Lie continued to approach the metal door, stretched out his whip-like tail, and knocked on the metal door with the tip of the tail, making a thudding sound.
Ran Lie did this to attract the attention of Number Seven so that he could call him out. However, he had just knocked on the door twice when the tightly closed metal door opened by itself.
Looking at the open door, Ran Lie's body froze, but he did not see the figure of the silver-haired little boy.
Chiyanhu couldn't help but tilt his head and peek into the door. The room was empty, with no one in it.
Ran Lie did not go in, but released his mental power and scanned the room. He found that No. 7 was not in the room.
He glanced at the electronic clock on the wall and remembered that it was activity time and No. 7 should be in the activity room.
Ran Lie then turned around and looked at the room next to No. 7. This time he didn't go forward to knock on the door, but directly released his mental power to explore inside.
Then he unexpectedly discovered that Number Six was actually in the room, and had turned back into human form, with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping soundly.
A hint of envy inadvertently appeared in Ran Lie's eyes.
After No. 6 was completely transformed into a beast, he was able to change back to his original form smoothly. Unlike him, he can only maintain the body of an animal now. The only thing to be thankful for is that he still retains human rationality.
Ran Lie withdrew his mental power, did not disturb No. 6's sleep, and walked downstairs.
I heard from the breeder that No. 4 has been adopted and has a new name. I wonder how No. 4 will react when he sees him like this?
Su Ci came to the back of the nursery building, next to the green space. There were still only the little wolf cub, the little white deer, and little Zhengxing, but no lion siblings.
He released his spiritual sense and took a look, and found that Xiao Lihua was still copying his name, while Rong Heng, who was guarding beside her, was not idle either, and was reciting the sword cultivator's mental formula.
Looking at the gradually deformed handwriting of Xiao Lihua on the white paper, Su Ci couldn't help but mourn for her in his heart for a second.
He is indeed my brother. Little Lihua will probably never forget this lesson.
Su Ci withdrew his spiritual consciousness and looked at the wolf cubs again.
Little Langze is still playing the flute. After these days of hard practice, he has become quite good at it.
Even in Su Ci's vision, he could see that part of the spiritual energy released by the small spiritual bud was attracted by the sound of the flute and lingered around Xiao Langze.
Surrounded by such spiritual energy, Xiao Langze's mind will become clearer and it will be easier for him to gain enlightenment. Naturally, he will achieve twice the result with half the effort in the way of sound cultivation.
Perhaps in the future, little Langze might actually be able to enter Taoism through sound cultivation...
Su Ci nodded and looked at Xiao Zhengxing again.
Relatively speaking, Xiao Zhengxing's talent is a little worse.
The child may have also noticed this, so he was not practicing at the moment. He just sat next to Xiao Langze, listening to his flute and playing with the metal ball in his hand.
The metal ball is a toy, but also a tool to help him increase his strength. He can control all machines made of metal by controlling the metal ball.
So, this is also a kind of practice for him.
What surprised Su Ci was the little white deer.
He was alone on the other side of the green space. He was not practicing playing the flute, but had opened the light curtain and was listening to the basic lessons on it while practicing writing on the dirt with a metal stick.
His handwriting is already quite good. Although it is inevitably a little crooked due to his young age and lack of wrist strength, the fact that he can write to this level through self-study shows how hard he works.
The children were all very serious and focused. They were immersed in their own world and none of them noticed Su Ci's arrival.
Su Ci felt relieved to see that they had found what they loved to do and immersed themselves in it.
Isn’t this also a way to cultivate one’s mind and character?
When they are immersed in things they like, they naturally feel positive emotions, and these emotions can help them guide and digest the power of their blood.
In this way, they may unknowingly master the innate power of this bloodline.
Of course, this method is not suitable for Ran Lie and Rong Heng because they have reached the critical point.
It may be of some help, but not much. They need more targeted methods to help them suppress and relieve the blood power of the riot.
The cultivation methods of sword practitioners and Buddhist practitioners are such targeted methods. I just hope that they have enough understanding to go far on these two paths.
Su Ci withdrew his gaze and did not make a sound to disturb the children.
As for Xiao Zhengxing and Xiao Bailu not practicing the flute? As he said before, if they don't have the talent, then they can choose another path. He won't force them to follow the path of music cultivation.
His gaze fell on the two spirit buds.
After transplanting, there were ten crops left from the first batch, including two each of golden taro, green beans and snow jade, and four star chain fruit.
Jade Snow, Ying Cui Beans and Star Chain Fruit are all vine plants. So, even though a batch of them have been transplanted away, the vines of the remaining ten still expanded a lot after growing for a day and a night.
There is no need to worry about the jade snow for the time being, because after its vines grow to a certain length, they will differentiate into roots and take root in the soil.
These roots will also enrich nutrients and improve the soil, so it's not a big problem.
But the other two crops do not have this growth characteristic, so we still need to build a rack for them, which is more conducive to their growth.
Fortunately, when Su Ci left Luo Shengfei yesterday, he picked up some materials.
They are all scrapped parts and equipment. Since they are not made of reshapeable memory metal, they will become scrap after being damaged.
Although Luo Shengfei has recycled waste as much as possible, these scrap metals still occupy half of his workshop.
After hearing his complaints, Su Ci took the opportunity to sweep all the scrap metal into the space button.
Luo Shengfei didn't know what he wanted these things for. After confirming again and again that he would not throw them away carelessly and that they were really useful to him, he gave them to him generously.
Su's poems are certainly useful.
Metal was a rare material in the past. Who would have thought that in the new era, metal would be so abundant?
He wanted to pick up some dead branches and wood to build a frame, but he couldn't find any.
Su Ci took a rough look at the growth of the plants and the area of the land, confirmed the size of the rack, and then left.
He came to the two pools on the side of the nursery building and first took out the giant black beetle that had been placed in the space button. After peeling off the shell, the remaining soft and crystal clear flesh was thrown into one of the pools for purification.
Then, Su Ci took out all the discarded metal parts from the space button and piled them up next to it, like a small hill.
Su Ci stretched out his hand, and a ball of red flame appeared above his palm, burning quietly and releasing hot energy.
He waved his hand, and the red flame floated up and drifted in the air. Then, a part flew out from the pile of parts and fell into the red flame.
After a burst of sizzling sounds, the broken parts were melted into glowing molten iron.
Su Ci continued to manipulate the broken parts.
One by one, metal parts flew into the red flames, and the smelted liquid gathered together, covering an increasingly large area.
Su Ci multitasked, controlling the parts to fly into the red flames while controlling the red molten iron to condense into shape, and then placing it into the pool of water to quickly cool it down and set.
As he did this, new parts appeared in the pool one after another and slowly piled up.
The function of the rack is simple, it is mainly used for vines to climb, as long as it is stable enough, there will be no problem.
Soon, all the parts Su Ci needed had been melted into shape, so he stopped. He had only used one third of the parts he had taken from Luo Shengfei.
Su Ci stretched out his hand and the parts at the bottom of the pool flew out one by one and landed at his feet, sparkling with metallic light in the sunlight.
Looking at these parts, Su Ci, who was about to start assembling them, thought for a moment, put all the parts into the space button, and then came to the back of the nursery building.
The three children were still doing their own things.
Su Ci clapped his hands, making a sound to attract their attention.
"Susu!" Little Langze was the first to rush over, "I have a question for you!"
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded, "Wait a moment."
Then he took out the parts from the space button and piled them on the ground.
"Susu, what are these?" The little white deer came over curiously.
Su Ci explained, then said, "We need to assemble this shelf and put it over there."
"Can I help?" Little Langze raised his hand, eager to try.
Su Ci, however, looked at little Zhengxing and asked, "Zhengxing, can you do it alone?"
Judging from Xiao Zhengxing's active performance yesterday, he should be interested in this aspect. In this case, Su Ci will give him more opportunities to practice.
This is also a kind of practice, which is beneficial for him to master the power of blood more accurately.
In response to Su Ci's question, Xiao Zhengxing nodded slightly - he could even control the takeoff of a spaceship, so assembling this metal frame should not be a problem for him.
His mental power swept back and forth over the pile of parts. After obtaining all the information and conducting some analysis, the palm of his small hand holding the metal ball glowed slightly.
If there were other people present, Xiao Zhengxing might hide and not take any action, but those present were all people he trusted, so he didn't mind showing his abilities, nor did he mind the attention that followed.
With Xiao Zhengxing's control, the parts on the ground began to move, and then they were assembled one by one from small to large.
Xiao Langze and Xiao Lujiao were stunned. This was the first time they saw Zhengxing's ability so intuitively.
Manipulating metal? No, manipulating machines!
So cool!
Little Langze squatted beside him, keeping his hands on the ground, shaking his big tail behind him, guarding little Zhengxing like a big dog.
He looked at the frame that was gradually taking shape, and then at the expression on Xingxing's face that he had never had before, and he understood in his heart that this was what Xingxing really liked to do!
Just as he likes playing the flute, Xingxing also likes assembling these hard metal parts.
"The stars are so amazing!" Xiaolu Jiao exclaimed sincerely.
Xiao Langze nodded and said, of course, Xingxing is the best and most powerful!
They all gathered around to watch Little Zhengxing assembling the rack. At this moment, at the main gate of the nursery, a furtive figure came to the metal door and looked around cautiously.
When this suspicious figure appeared, Su Ci received a reminder from the base's intelligent computer.
Looking at the image displayed by the base's intelligent computer in front of him, Su Ci couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw the person in the image clearly.
It’s Cen Liang, the mid-level researcher at the cultivation garden. What is he doing here?
Su Ci looked at the other person wandering at the gate, thought for a moment, and said to the children, "I'll be gone for a while."
Xiao Langze and Xiao Lujiao watched him walk away.
It was just a simple metal frame, and Xiao Zhengxing assembled it quickly. Before he had time to appreciate the finished product, he sensed the keeper leaving.
"Where is Susu going?" Little Langze said in a low voice.
He also has a question about playing the flute!
"Let's go and take a look."
Faced with this suggestion, Xiao Zhengxing shook his head, hugged his metal ball and went to squat beside the green space. His small figure was like a mushroom, as if he could squat there forever.
Little Langze didn't force him, but just looked at his other friend.
Facing his questioning look, Xiaolu Jiao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Then let's go over and take a look."
Anyway, the breeder didn't say he couldn't follow - now he has gradually learned how to find loopholes in the rules.
So, the two children ran together in the direction Su Ci left. Before they reached the front of the nursery building, little Langze's ears moved slightly.
He is very sensitive to sounds and can hear sounds from far away.
He heard Susu talking to someone, and that person's voice... sounded a little familiar?
At the bend, little Langze slammed on the brakes. Xiaolu Jiao behind him also stopped and lay down in the corner with him. Then, under the cover of the building, they looked towards the door of the nursery.
The metal door of the nursery opened wide, and a young man in a gray-blue uniform stood at the door. In front of him was a man with a bald head and some graying hair on his temples. The two were talking.
Although he was quite far away, Xiao Langze recognized him at a glance - it was that bad old man!
Yes, he definitely wouldn’t make a mistake. It was the bad old man who asked Susu to go to the plantation yesterday!
Then, remembering what Xiaolu Jiao had said about being polite, Xiao Langze reluctantly changed his words and said, "Okay, it was that bad grandpa..."
What is he doing at the nursery today?
Could it be that the evildoer still wants Susu to go to the plantation?
Thinking of this, Xiao Langze became angry again. Just as he was about to rush out, his clothes were grabbed by Xiao Lujiao.
"Langze, calm down!" Xiaolu Jiao said, "Didn't Susu say that? Don't be impulsive when encountering things. Don't be so reckless like before. Susu doesn't like that!"
The last sentence successfully calmed Xiao Langze down.
He scratched his hair and said angrily, "But that bad grandpa is looking for Su Su again!"
"We have to trust Susu." Xiaolu Jiao said, "Besides... maybe he came to see Susu for something else?"
In fact, Cen Liang was not sneaking around outside the nursery with the intention of poaching girls.
After he ended the call yesterday, he had been bothered by the touch of green that appeared on the call screen, so after struggling for a day and a night, he finally came to the nursery to find out what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got outside the door, he was caught red-handed by the breeder Su.
But Cen Liang was not embarrassed, because he had a legitimate excuse -
"This is something someone from Base 26 asked someone to send to you. I saw that you haven't gone to the plantation to get it, so I sent it to you." Cen Liang said with a smile.
Su Ci nodded. He had indeed forgotten about this matter.
"Thank you." He took the things that Cen Liang handed to him.
Although he now has sufficient food sources, no one would complain about having too much food, and this food was sent by Song Zehe, which was indeed thoughtful.
He is still a new recruit, so the points he can get in a month are probably not that many, right?
Cen Liang continued the small talk, "Is that crazy cub from yesterday okay?"
"It's okay." Su Ci said, and then stopped talking.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment - of course, the only one who was embarrassed was Cen Liang.
"That's good, that's good!" Cen Liang tried hard to change the subject. "You're amazing! I didn't expect that you look so inconspicuous, but you can actually take care of the cubs so well!"
Before coming, Cen Liang went to find out more.
He knew that every time a new keeper came to the nursery, some people in the base would start a bet to see how long the new keeper could stay.
And this breeder Su, because of his size, is undoubtedly the least favored one in such a long time.
Unexpectedly, he persisted day by day. It has been more than half a month now. It seems that since the first day he came, except for a cub that went crazy and was sent to the infirmary, everything has been calm since then.
Combined with what he saw in the video yesterday, the attitude of the little wolf cub towards Su Ci, Cen Liang couldn't help but admire the breeder Su.
At the same time, he also realized that the suggestions he made to him in the video might have been a bit presumptuous.
This breeder Su is doing a good job in the nursery, and he probably won't go to the plantation. Although he feels it's a pity, he also knows that everyone has their own aspirations and they can't force it.
After the greetings, seeing that the breeder didn't seem interested in listening to his further nonsense, Cen Liang rubbed his hands and had to get straight to the point.
"The reason I came to see you this time is mainly because Xiaozhuang told me that you got some seeds and planted them in the nursery. I wonder how it's going? Have you encountered any problems that need my help?" Cen Liang looked at Su Ci and asked sincerely.
Do you have any questions or need help?
Su Ci looked at him and said, "It really is."
Cen Liang's eyes lit up. "What's the problem? Tell me about it."
"I need a greenhouse." Su Ci said.
"Greenhouse?" Cen Liang frowned. Did he really see it wrong yesterday?
He said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. After all, the nursery's responsibilities don't include planting. But you can apply. If it's truly necessary, the administration should agree given your abilities."
As he spoke, he kept glancing towards the nursery. He remembered that the background of Su Ci's video yesterday was outdoors...
However, there was really nothing to see in front of the nursery building.
And Su Ci was still thinking about the greenhouse.
“It’s too slow,” he said. “My crops probably can’t wait that long.”
Hearing him mention the crops he was growing, Cen Liang's eyes lit up. "Have you really grown something? Can you take me to see it?"
After he finished speaking, realizing that his tone was a little anxious, he coughed lightly and said with a smile, "If there are any results, maybe I can help with the greenhouse matter."
Cen Liang was thinking that if Su Ci really succeeded in growing a green seedling using soil, then he could transplant the seedling into the greenhouse of the plantation.
It would be too extravagant to build a greenhouse just for a few seedlings.
Su Ci looked at him and finally nodded.
Originally, he also planned to exchange the mature Star Chain Fruit for points. He was planting something behind the nursery building, and it was only a matter of time before it was exposed.
In that case, what does it matter whether it’s early or late?
So, Su Ci took Cen Liang and walked to the back of the nursery building. Because he didn't want him to see the two pools, he chose the other side and just didn't run into the wolf cubs.
"Did you really grow green seedlings using the soil from Prison Star?" Cen Liang couldn't help but ask on the way, "What's the germination rate?"
He knew that Su Ci had taken twenty or thirty seeds from Zhuang Shisong. He expected that it would be great if one or two could sprout.
But then he heard the young man say, "Germination rate... 100 percent?"
Cen Liang was just about to say, "Stop joking, even soilless cultivation technology can't be 100% perfect." However, when he turned a corner and saw the star chain fruit trees crowded together in the corner of the wall, and the green vines that almost covered most of the rope net, all the words were stuck in his throat.
How is this possible? !
