Chapter 161
Hearing the liaison officer's words, Li Sinian frowned slightly.
On the one hand, they were on their way to Prison Star, and this delay would delay their arrival. On the other hand...
"I just received news. Isn't the situation on Prison Star quite dire right now?" Li Sinian asked in confusion. "Why are they sending the cubs there now?"
In his opinion, at this time, they should find a way to take those cubs out of the Prison Star and place them somewhere else first.
Under no circumstances should you joke about the safety of your cubs' lives!
Faced with Li Sinian's almost stern expression, the liaison officer couldn't help but stiffen slightly. Even through the screen, he could feel a murderous and decisive aura from the young marshal.
He paused and could only explain, "Marshal Li, you misunderstood. This was sent here at the request of the parents."
Li Sinian's originally furrowed brows turned into the shape of the Chinese character "川", and his face darkened in an instant.
How could he not be angry and hateful when he heard that some parents would take the initiative to send their children to such a dangerous place, having lost his beloved son and daughter many years ago?
"I remember that the nursery on Prison Star only takes in children who have no living relatives, right?" Li Sinian whispered.
"This cub is quite special..." Facing the oppressive feeling brought by Marshal Li, the liaison officer, who is just an ordinary clerk, simply couldn't bear it.
He said, "You can find out the specific details from the cub's parents when you arrive at Mengda Star."
"I'll think about it."
Then, Li Sinian ended the call.
He didn't want to go to Mengda Star at all. Their schedule was already tight, and more importantly, the situation on Yuxing Star was critical. How could he personally send a poor child to such a place?
Li Sinian came back from the control room. Although he didn't tell Yan Ya, Yan Ya had already noticed something from his expression.
After Yan Ya's questioning, Li Sinian finally told the situation and expressed his depression and anger.
"Tell me, how could there be such parents?" He said hatefully, "If...if..."
He gritted his teeth and swallowed the rest of his words, but from his red eyes, Yan Ya knew that he was thinking of the two children they had lost.
Her eyes also turned red, and she couldn't help but reach out and hug her husband.
For so many days and nights in the past, the couple have supported each other to get to where they are today.
Yan Ya understood Li Sinian's feelings very well, but she learned some details about the Prison Star Nursery from the director of the Capital Star Nursery.
The children who will be sent there are those who are troubled by the power of their blood and have no blood relatives to help relieve it.
Could that parent have some hardship that forced them to send their child to the Prison Star Nursery? If it was because of money, then perhaps she could help...
As a mother who had lost her own children ten years ago, she really couldn't bear to see this tragedy of separation of flesh and blood due to unavoidable difficulties.
"How long does it take to get to Mengda Star?" Yan Ya asked.
Li Sinian, who had finally calmed down, understood his wife's thoughts after hearing her question. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Mengda Star is on our route, and we originally needed to resupply along the way."
There was a shortage of supplies on the Prison Star. Although they brought a space button, they were in such a hurry when they left that they did not prepare many items. On the way, he listed the things that needed to be purchased and planned to go and purchase them during the rest period.
Although the selected location is not Mengda Star, the two planets are not far apart, so it is not impossible to change the location to Mengda Star.
He looked at his wife, and although he was full of disapproval, he still told her truthfully, "There's still time to go over and take a look while we're resupplying. It won't take long."
Yan Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she really wanted to help the child, Xuewei still came first in her heart. If it took too long, she might choose to go and see her on her way back.
"Then... why don't we go and take a look?" Yan Ya said, "That child is so pitiful. How could there be such cruel parents in the world?"
Li Sinian sighed. He was not surprised at all that his wife would make such a choice, but he did not regret telling her.
Anyway, it really won't take long.
So the warship from the Tess Empire slightly changed its course and headed towards the planet Mengda.
About a week later, warships from the Tess Empire landed on the planet Mengda.
Special personnel were needed to go and purchase the items, so Li Sinian and his wife took a spaceship to the location provided by the Star Alliance liaison officer.
When they arrived at their destination according to the navigation address, they saw a small detached house with a garden. Although it could not be compared with the Li family's manor, judging from the decoration, this family was definitely not in financial difficulty.
Seeing this, Li Sinian couldn't help but get angry again, and Yan Ya also frowned.
Of course, she did not draw a conclusion easily. She felt that she should ask about the specific situation first.
Their small flying ship docked in the open space in front of the house. When they got off the flying ship, a woman appeared in the garden. She walked out, opened the small gate of the garden, and looked at Marshal Li and his wife timidly.
"Hello..."
The instant translation function of the communicator translated her words into the language of the Tes Empire, eliminating obstacles in communication between the two sides.
Yan Ya looked at the haggard woman. From her sad eyes and pale face, she could tell that her situation was not good.
"Hello, I'm Yan Ya, and this is my husband, Li Sinian."
Yan Ya took a step forward and took her hand affectionately.
Wen Yan, whose hand was suddenly held, was obviously frightened by her familiarity, but she did not break free from Yan Ya's hand. Her cheeks just turned slightly red and she became more restrained.
"I... I'm Wen Yan..." she said with some stammering, "The Star Alliance liaison officer has already... already told me about you. Thank you for giving us a ride..."
Yan Ya quickly realized something was wrong, "You guys? Besides the children, is there anyone else...?"
"And me."
Wen Yan looked at Yan Ya and forced herself to calm down. She took a deep breath and said, "Besides the baby, I want to go to Prison Star too."
Yan Ya couldn't help but blink and looked at Li Sinian behind her.
Marshal Li, who had originally looked indifferent, now looked a little shocked. He looked at Wen Yan's haggard and timid appearance and couldn't help asking, "Are you going to Prison Star too? Do you know what that place is?"
"Yeah, I know."
Wen Yan nodded, but when her eyes met Li Sinian, she quickly lowered her head.
She actually didn't want to appear so cowardly, but during the years she raised and cared for the child alone, especially after the child became violent and was asked to withdraw from the nursery, she stayed at home with the child almost all the time.
She has no job, no social life, and a tense relationship with her family. After living alone for a long time, she is no longer used to interacting with strangers.
Fortunately, thanks to her husband's pension and their previous savings, she was not so financially strapped.
It took her a lot of courage and determination to decide to go to Prison Star this time. She was also lucky as she happened to meet a couple who were going to the Prison Star Nursery to pick up their cubs, and they were going the same way as her.
Otherwise, she would have to take her child to Prison Star, and she didn't know how long she would have to wait.
"I have a nanny certificate, and I'm applying for a position as a keeper at the Prison Star Nursery," Wen Yan said. "Of course, the most important thing is that I hope the baby will have a better environment to grow up in there, and..."
Wen Yan didn't say anything else.
That planet was where her husband, the father of her children, passed away. She hadn't visited him in all these years...
She used to be always avoiding it. As long as she didn't go, she could hypnotize herself - that person was actually still there, just serving in the army like before, fighting on the front line, and there was no way to contact them.
But now, she can no longer escape.
Just as her father said, those who left are gone forever, and those who stayed must live well.
However, her words confused Li Sinian and his wife.
"Prison Planet? A better environment for growth?"
"Ma'am, have you made a mistake?"
Yan Ya and Li Sinian spoke at the same time, their tone full of disbelief. Perhaps anyone like them would be as surprised as they were to hear that Prison Star was actually a place that could provide a better growth environment for children?
"That place holds extremely vicious interstellar criminals. Not only are they severely short of supplies, but recently..." Li Sinian paused and said, "In short, the situation is not optimistic. It's not a good place, and it's certainly not suitable for the cubs to grow up."
He said with a serious face, "If you don't want to give up your child, then please give up this idea."
"We didn't come here to take you to Prison Star, but to persuade you to give up."
Yan Ya also held Wen Yan's hand and sincerely advised: "We are going to Prison Star to take the child away from that damn place. Is someone saying this because they want to harm you and the child?"
Wen Yan stared at the couple in amazement. Seeing how confident they were in their words, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
However, she quickly shook her head.
"No, that's my father, the child's grandfather. He wouldn't do anything bad to me or the child."
Wen Yan then turned on the communicator and showed the video she had watched many times to Li Sinian and his wife. "Have you seen this video? It was sent by the inspector of the Prison Star Nursery."
Wen Yan asked, "Which of these children are you planning to take back?"
The video shows scenes from the restaurant.
In that cold, metallic room, the cubs sat around two tables, all of them displaying beastly traits.
Some grew animal ears and tails, some grew antlers on their foreheads, and there was even a child who was completely transformed into a beast and turned into a tiger cub.
However, these children, these children who were judged by the welfare home to have uncontrollable blood, were now sitting together in harmony and friendship.
They ate their meals seriously with their small spoons, chatting and laughing from time to time. Even the young red-flame tiger sat in its seat and ate quietly. Nothing unpleasant happened.
Such a joyful scene makes the restaurant full of cold colors become warm and loving.
It can be seen that although there are nutritious frozen foods on the children's dining table, there are also some vegetables and meat, and each person even has a big round star chain fruit at hand.
You can tell at a glance that the quality of the Star Chain Fruit is very good, and it is not something that ordinary families can usually find.
Li Sinian and his wife were stunned. The adjutant standing behind them couldn't help but be surprised, because he knew the soldiers serving on Prison Star, and he was the one who was in charge of collecting intelligence recently, so he had a general grasp of the situation on Prison Star.
He couldn't help but say, "This video...isn't it a composite or staged video?"
"It's not synthetic," Wen Yan said. "Many people have verified it, including me. If you don't believe me, you can check it out yourself."
"No, no need to check..."
Yan Ya's eyes were already filled with tears, but she was smiling. "This is my Weiwei. I can confirm that this video is not staged, and it's probably not a composite."
She looked at the little girl with rabbit ears in the image, saw her rosy and plump complexion, and the bright colors in her eyes. Yan Ya finally felt relieved after having been worried for the past few days.
Fortunately, the child's life on Prison Star was not as miserable as she had imagined, and the environment in the Prison Star Nursery did not seem to be that bad either.
Even though Xue Wei had told her during the video call that she was doing well in the nursery, how could Yan Ya and Li Sinian believe it?
They all thought that the child had made up a lie to deceive them so as not to make them worry.
And now, after watching this video, they finally realized that Xuewei was not talking, what she said was true, she was really living well in the nursery!
But……
Yan Ya quickly thought of what the kindergarten director had said to her, and she couldn't help but feel confused.
She asked Wen Yan for the video and then asked, "Can you tell me what's going on? What I heard about Prison Planet seems very different from the actual situation..."
Wen Yan actually didn’t know the details clearly.
She said, "I only know that a very capable breeder has come to the nursery on Prison Star. He not only teaches the cubs well, but also seems to have a way to solve the cubs' bloodline frenzy problem."
Only those who have actually come into contact with the cubs know how terrible their destructive power is after their blood goes berserk.
When Wen Yan first learned that the nursery had taken in so many crazy cubs, and that none of these cubs' blood relatives were alive, she really wondered if the person who made this decision was crazy.
Her daughter Sissi has a relatively mild temper, but as soon as she leaves her side, the child will start to destroy the house.
Only when she returned to her side would the child regain some sanity, but when she occasionally exploded, Sissi would hurt her because she couldn't control herself.
Once, Xixi regained her sanity while hurting her. Wen Yan will always remember her daughter's expression of shock, guilt, panic and sadness.
From then on, she would be very careful to conceal her injuries, but she really didn't know how long this situation could last.
As her daughter grows up, the power of her outbursts becomes stronger and stronger. As an ordinary person, can she continue to take good care of her?
Her Sissi is already like this, not to mention the cubs in the Prison Star Nursery.
Putting so many berserker pups together, will they really not affect each other and make the problem worse and worse?
This doubt has now been answered.
Those cubs had indeed gone through a very serious period, and before making the decision to take her daughter to Prison Star, Wen Yan naturally did a lot of research.
And her father helped her a lot.
In addition to the video she showed to Li Sinian and his wife, her father also went to see the inspector and asked for a lot of information.
She finally made up her mind after seeing the changes in the cubs.
Li Sinian and his wife were shocked, but Wen Yan didn't say anything more. Instead, she asked them to wait and then turned back to the house to pick up her daughter.
The adjutant also followed in to help with the luggage.
Li Sinian was just about to go in and help when he saw his wife still watching the video that Wen Yan sent her over and over again. She didn't know what she had discovered, but her brows were getting tighter and tighter.
