Chapter 156
Langze stopped where he was and looked back towards the pool.
Then, he put down the little Zhengxing on his back, raised his feet and slowly walked to the edge of the pool, looking down at the slightly red water in the pool.
The surface of the pool water was very calm. Although a breeze was simulated in the greenhouse, the water surface was like a smooth mirror, without even the slightest wrinkle.
Langze's figure is reflected on the water.
Gradually, his shadow began to change, and two figures appeared behind him.
One is obviously "Su Ci", and the other...
She was a woman in combat uniform with a serious face and looked heroic. Her combat uniform was damaged, her hair was messy, and her face was stained with sweat and blood, as if she had just experienced a tough battle.
Langze's eyes widened and his pupils contracted slightly.
His gaze fell on the woman, as if he had returned to that day again...
The space pirate who raised him lost money gambling and tied him up with a dog chain after drinking. He not only hit him on the head with a bottle, but also whipped him with a whip, calling him a little stray dog who wasted food and said he would kill him and make soup sooner or later.
He was beaten to death and thought he was really going to die. When he was about to lose consciousness, he saw someone kick open the pirate's room and rush in.
The person knocked the pirate down and subdued him. Then she walked towards him, squatted beside him, and carefully gave him first aid.
"It's all right, kid."
Before he completely fell into darkness, he heard the woman say this to him. It was the first time he heard someone speak to him so gently...
Afterwards, he never saw her again except in his dreams, but now...
She stood behind him and smiled at him gently, which made him relax all his guard. Even when she raised her hand and put it on his shoulder, he did not move.
And Susu, who was standing on the other side, also raised his hand and placed it on his right shoulder.
The two of them made a forward push together...
In dormitory No. 303, A Yan, who had already gotten up and was folding clothes, suddenly had an idea.
With a casual move, the work manual placed in dormitory No. 302 fell into his hands. He opened the page that was newly added yesterday and quickly added a new rule.
"thump--"
The little wolf cub fell into the water. He closed his eyes and sank to the bottom without struggling.
"Langze!"
The cubs heard the noise and came to the pool. Lu Jiao, who was a step behind, hugged Zheng Xing and stopped him from walking towards the pool.
The other children anxiously called out to Langze. Xuewei had learned to swim, and just as she was about to jump in to save him—
The little wolf cub, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He waved his limbs like a dog and struggled to swim out of the water and surfaced.
Seeing this, Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Langze, are you okay?"
Rong Heng shouted loudly, and at the same time used his power to control objects, grabbed the little wolf's clothes and dragged him to the shore.
Langze choked on water several times underwater and kept coughing after surfacing. Fortunately, Rong Heng's magical tool dragged him to the shore.
Xuewei pulled him out of the water, and Rong Heng and the others came forward to pat his back and help him calm down.
"Cough, cough, cough—"
When he finally stopped coughing, Langze sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Ah! Thank you, I almost thought I was going to die!" After catching his breath, he sighed with lingering fear.
"Langze, what happened just now?" Lu Jiao had already let go of Zheng Xing. He looked at the little wolf cub and asked with some reproach, "Why did you suddenly jump into the pool to swim?"
Zheng Xing squatted beside Langze and nodded his head.
"I don't know either!"
Langze scratched his wet hair, feeling confused about what had just happened.
He seemed to see Susu and the female warrior who rescued him from the pirates, and then... they pushed him into the water.
How is this possible!
Not to mention that aunt, even if it was Susu, if he really wanted to kill him, there would be no need to go through so much trouble, so just now... maybe he fell into the water and his mind was not clear and he was hallucinating, right?
but……
Thinking back to the appearance of the female warrior he had just seen in the water, Langze couldn't help but grin.
After he was rescued from the pirate base, he never saw her again. He didn't know her name or what country she was from. Later, he even forgot what she looked like.
Now he actually remembered it!
Although the chance of seeing her again was slim, Langze was still very happy that he remembered her.
When he grows up, he will go find her, say thank you to her, and repay her. As for how to repay her... that depends on what she needs.
The cubs saw Langze suddenly grinning foolishly and thought that he might be ill due to drowning. Lu Jiao couldn't help but step forward and touch his forehead, but was pushed away by Langze muttering.
Everyone was in harmony on the shore, but in the pool, the water demon who had almost succeeded was now feeling frustrated.
[The cubs must not harm each other or the staff at the nursery.]
The newly added rules hit it directly on the head, and the power of the rules bound it tightly, making it unable to do harm to the creatures on the other side.
Ahhhh, so irritable!
Why is it locked up here? Why is it being tortured like this?
Although it controls the water resources of the entire mountain range, it has not done anything bad except devouring other water monsters. As long as they are not provoked, it has never taken the initiative to fight with other monsters or humans.
So why do this to it?!
The water demon suddenly thought of something, lowered his eyes, looked at the water purification array at the bottom of the pool, and malice arose in his heart again.
Since there's no way to deal with the creatures on the shore, then let's just destroy this damn formation! The next activation isn't far away, and it doesn't want to continue to endure this torture!
However, just as it gathered all its strength and prepared to strike the formation with a fatal blow—
[Cubs are not allowed to damage the buildings of the nursery]
New rules were generated, like a cage, wrapping up the water monster again, and the power it was gathering to release was abruptly interrupted.
The condensed power could not but be released, but the creatures on the shore could not be harmed, and the underwater buildings could not be destroyed. The water demon could not find any target to attack for a while.
By the time it thought of hitting the air, it was too late. The force exploded directly within its body.
"Puff——"
The water demon hit himself, causing internal injuries. Finally, he passed out and turned into a bloody ball of water and sank to the bottom of the water.
The pool water, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, also returned to normal.
The cubs were unaware of the turbulent undercurrent beneath the pool. After making sure the little wolf was okay, they continued to go to the green space. Langze, who was soaking wet, had to go back to the room to change his clothes before coming back.
Room 302.
A Yan withdrew his spiritual consciousness and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the new rules on the page and nodded secretly. Now, there should be no problem, right?
After putting the work manual into his pocket, he returned to the room, folded his clothes, and then cleaned the entire dormitory.
Although there is a nanny robot, A Yan still likes the feeling of doing housework by himself, as if... this is really his and Su Su's home.
After changing back into an adult body, he was able to do these things more easily.
After tidying up the dormitory, he quickly went to the green space.
After the greenhouse was built in the nursery, they no longer needed to specifically control the watering and fertilizing of the plants, but the plants that were previously assigned to the cubs were still left to their care.
The cubs pulled Zhengxing and asked him how much water and fertilizer to use.
Their childish words and happy laughter can be heard from time to time on the green land, which looks so harmonious and beautiful under the shade of green leaves, flowers and fruits.
Everything that happened yesterday seemed to have no impact on the nursery.
Perhaps the biggest impact is the loss of the little fat chirp's cry, right?
"Good morning."
A Yan operated the communicator and took the initiative to greet the children.
Hearing his voice, the children looked in the direction of the sound and then froze.
"Brother Ayan?"
What the children saw was no longer a void, but an eighteen or nineteen-year-old older brother who looked gentle and kind. He was wearing a strange set of clothes, a bit like a skirt, but under the long hem, you could see his trouser legs.
Although they saw his appearance yesterday when A Yan was swept away, he was shrouded in light at that time, as if... he was not wearing any clothes?
This outfit looks weird now, but...it looks pretty good?
"Are you Brother Ayan?"
Langze looked at the furry ears on his head and the fluffy tail behind him and felt particularly close to him.
Brother Ayan’s animal ears and tail look like his!
Could it be that Brother Ayan is also a wolf?
Ah Yan didn't know the doubts in Lang Ze's heart, so he could still smile. He reached out and touched the boy's head, and after a hum, he said, "Thank you for yesterday."
"You're welcome!" the cubs said.
"Brother Ayan was captured by a monster, of course we have to save you! Because... because..." The little white deer was suddenly stuck when he said this.
Why? Brother Ayan doesn't seem to be a breeder, and... he doesn't seem to be a cub either? So what is Brother Ayan?
A Yan looked at the confused little white deer, then at the other cubs. Bewilderment gradually appeared on their faces, especially Lu Li, who had seen A Yan's appearance as a cub.
He looked at A Yan with an incredible look in his eyes.
A Yan couldn't help feeling helpless.
After the rules disappear, everything about Number One will gradually disappear from people's memory, so in the children's cognition, he is just "Brother Ayan".
He didn't let the cubs continue to struggle. Instead, he squatted down, looked at them, and said, "I'd like to be a keeper at the nursery. What do you think?"
Lu Li looked at him. Although he felt that this Brother A Yan was different from what he had “imagined”, he still asked, “Is he the same as Su Su?”
"Yes." A Yan nodded, "Just like Su Su, I will be your breeder."
"Great!" Langze was the first to cheer, "I love Brother Ayan's cooking the most!"
He paused, then added, "And meat!"
The other cubs' attention was diverted, but Lu Jiao was still frowning, thinking, Brother A Yan would be their caretaker in the future, but what about before? Brother A Yan was...
A palm gently fell on his head.
Lu Jiao couldn't help but look up. He saw Brother A Yan smiling at him gently, and then said, "Would you like some lotus seed soup later?"
Lotus seed soup? What is that?
It sounds delicious!
The little white deer's attention was also diverted. He asked a question, and after A Yan answered it, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "So water lilies are edible?"
"Lotus seeds can be eaten." A Yan nodded. "The leaves can be used to make lotus leaf rice, and the petals can be used to make lotus cakes. It's a pity that we don't have flour."
Just listening to his description, the cubs felt like drooling.
Little White Deer was about to ask what flour was, but Langze interrupted, "But we've already had breakfast. Can we still have lotus seed soup? Do we have to wait until lunch?"
"A small bowl is okay."
There aren't many lotus seeds left from yesterday's collection. There are eight lotus seeds in total, and one for each of us is enough to taste, as a dessert after dinner.
"Or do you want to wait until lunch?" A Yan said.
"We'll eat it later if you want!" The cubs all raised their hands to express their opinion, even Xuewei was no exception.
What kind of baby doesn’t like to eat snacks?
A Yan asked them to continue working. When the cubs ran away, he saw the Red Flame Tiger still squatting on the ground, looking at him hesitantly.
Speaking of which, the first person to come into contact with cub No. 1 in the nursery was Ran Lie.
Because Ran Lie's condition was the most serious and he had stayed in Su Su's room the longest among all the cubs, he also spent the longest time with "Number One".
A Yan looked at the little tiger, and finally walked over and touched its head.
Ran Lie didn't avoid him, but his expression was still confused, as if... he had lost an important friend.
"Can't you return to human form?" A Yan asked.
With Ran Lie's progress in controlling the power of red flame, he should be able to transform back into human form.
"It's possible, but it's inconvenient." The boy said truthfully.
"inconvenient?"
"Yeah." The little tiger nodded and said a very realistic problem, "I'm almost out of clothes to wear."
Ran Lie was the oldest among the cubs and also the largest. Although the nursery had sufficient supplies of cub clothes, they could not sustain him making one set every day.
When he turned into a red flame tiger, he often couldn't control himself and couldn't take off his clothes in time - of course, he didn't want to take off his clothes in front of others.
In that case, it would be better to keep the appearance of the Red Flame Tiger.
"But when your red flame power is exhausted, you will turn back into human form and still need to wear clothes."
A Yan thought about it and took off a spirit storage bag from his waist.
Susu made a few of these soul storage bags and gave them to him. It wouldn't be a big deal to give one to Ran Lie, even if it was just... a final farewell to the identity of "Number One".
A Yan taught Ran Lie how to use it, and the little tiger's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"What do I need to do in exchange for this?" Ran Lie asked.
A Yan thought for a moment and said, "The meat is almost finished. When you go practice controlling the fire, you can take a few giant spiders with you."
The little tiger nodded vigorously.
His fire control ability has improved a lot now. When facing giant spiders again, he no longer needs to burn them to ashes. He can put the giant spiders intact into the spirit storage bag.
This way, we won’t have to worry about eating meat anymore!
