Chapter 163
"Xiaosong, is there something wrong with my eyes?"
Wei Ming rubbed his eyes and stared at the small sword inserted into the metal wall, his face full of disbelief.
Is this really an obsolete ancient weapon? How come it's even more powerful than a laser gun? Could it be a newly developed secret weapon at the base?
Of course, just thinking about it makes you realize that this is impossible.
Because the one using this small sword is a child in the nursery. Even if it is to test a new weapon, it is impossible to let a child try it out.
Zhuang Shisong couldn't answer either. While they were discussing in shock, the small sword inserted into the wall began to tremble, as if someone was grasping the hilt and pulling it out, and it was quickly pulled out of the wall.
The lion-eared boy who was sitting cross-legged on the ground also withdrew his hands and slowly adjusted his breathing.
The practice just now was actually not easy for Rong Heng.
He is now able to barely control his power to control objects, and can control the movement of objects through the air even without using hand gestures.
It's just that I can't make the controlled object have powerful power like before, so I need to use hand gestures to make it work.
I have to say, what Susu taught him was really useful!
The longer he practiced, the more experience he gained, and the more Rong Heng understood this point, and the more grateful and admiring he became towards Su Ci.
He slowly finished his training, took the small sword in his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully.
This small sword was specially made for him by Su Ci.
The materials used are basically the scrap metals snatched from Luo Shengfei, into which the shell and spider silk of a giant spider are integrated, making this small sword hard and very tough.
Rong Heng was the first among all the cubs to receive a weapon from Su Ci—of course, excluding the little wolf cub's bamboo flute.
He cherished this small sword very much. Although Su Ci had not sharpened it for him for safety reasons, it already had great power.
Rong Heng also promised Su Ci that he would never use this small sword to hurt others. He would only use this small sword to protect himself when he had no other choice.
The metal wall opposite him was also designated by Su Ci for him to practice. On the dark metal wall, there were inconspicuous small pits, from shallow to deep, indicating Rong Heng's progress.
After wiping the sword blade clean, Rong Heng carefully put it back into the scabbard, then looked up at Zhuang Shisong and the others.
Rong Heng didn't have a good impression of anyone other than the nursery, but Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming often came to the nursery. After getting to know them, he became quite friendly towards these two adults.
He nodded to the two of them as a greeting, then took his small sword and walked to the back of the nursery building.
Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming looked at his back and were stunned by the aura of an eight-year-old child. It was not until he disappeared around the corner that they swallowed and found their voices.
"Isn't Rong Heng... the Red-Tailed Lion?" Zhuang Shisong hesitated, "How could he control that sword?"
Telekinesis is not a characteristic of the red-tailed lion.
"Could it be related to the gestures he made?" Wei Ming recalled the boy's actions just now and tried to imitate them, but in the end he couldn't get it right.
The two breeders discussed in a low voice, but in the end they couldn't come to any conclusion. However, they all agreed that this must be related to Breeder Su!
They looked at each other, and then walked towards the back of the nursery building together in tacit understanding.
No matter what, they have decided that Su the breeder is their teacher!
The ground on both sides of the nursery building had been cleared, but there were not enough green plants growing there, and they were growing relatively slowly. When they turned the corner and saw the scene behind the building, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
I saw that the metal frame was covered with green vines, with flowers in three colors of yellow, pink and white blooming, and bunches of plump and bright fruits hanging under the frame.
Not to mention, the wall behind the building was already covered with star chain vines. These vines continued to climb upwards, leaving the range of the rope net and began to move towards the wall above.
If it were an ordinary house, such a vine wall would actually pose a certain safety hazard, but the nursery building uses special building materials that only allow plant vines to climb and will not cause damage to the building.
Looking at the land surrounded by greenery and breathing the air full of fresh scent, I have to say that it is really refreshing.
Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming don’t want to leave!
Under the rattan trellis, there was a small table and two benches. Rong Heng, who had finished his training, was sitting under the trellis to rest.
He had already put his little sword into the spirit storage bag - now, every cub in the nursery had received a spirit storage bag, which was a reward for their hard work and serious study.
It took them quite a while just to learn how to use the spirit storage bag, but now everyone can use it normally.
I have to say that having a spirit storage bag does make life a lot more convenient.
No matter whether it is a heavy object or a small object, it can be put into the spirit storage bag and it feels as light as a feather in the hand. Apart from preventing it from being lost, there are almost no disadvantages.
On the small table were tea and snacks prepared by 4586.
The snack is made of rice sweet potatoes, which are soft and chewy. There are many kinds of fillings inside, including lotus seeds, taro paste, potato cubes and even flower petals.
There is no way, there are too many Star Chain Fruits!
Especially the two Star Chain Spirit Trees. In the past half month, they have entered the maturity period twice, and because the growth range has expanded, the number of fruits is even more than before.
Su Ci suppressed the growth of these two plants. The one planted on the river bank grew at an even more terrifying rate.
However, the fruits of that tree were picked by people at the base, and even if no one picked them and they rotted in the ground, Su Ci didn't mind too much. After all, they just came from the ground and returned to the ground.
After the Star Chain fruit tree matured, it attracted a lot of mutant insects.
Spiritual fruits themselves attract insects. Even if these insects have mutated, the desire for the fruit still remains in their genes.
As more and more insects appeared near the spiritual tree, the people at the base no longer dared to come here and only dared to send robots to pick the fruits.
Because of Su Ci's order, the giant panda did not pay attention to the battlefield gradually formed on the opposite side due to the spiritual fruits. As long as those insects did not run to the other side, it was too lazy to care.
Occasionally, a few insects were attracted to it, and they were all killed by it, which added a bit of fun to its boring life of picking its feet.
As for the two star chain spirit trees in the nursery, the fruits they produce will naturally have to be consumed by the cubs.
So at Xuewei's suggestion, they tried using the petals of the star chain fruit as filling. In this way, without the flowers, there would naturally not be so many star chain fruits.
In addition to making snacks, Xuewei also uses the petals of the Star Love Fruit to make tea. The brewed tea has a light fragrance and is very sweet and tastes great. It has become the most popular drink in the nursery.
Although pure water with spiritual energy tastes good, who can resist spiritual water with the addition of flower petals and nectar?
Rong Heng gulped down a cup of floral tea, and felt that his head, which had been aching slightly from overusing his mental energy, felt much better.
Beside him, Xuewei poured him another glass, then looked at him, as if she wanted to say something, but finally lowered her head.
"Weiwei, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Rong Heng asked after drinking the flower tea.
He had noticed since morning that something was wrong with Xuewei. She seemed to have something to say to him, but when he waited for her to speak, she fell silent again.
This happened several times, which made Rong Heng feel very strange.
Xuewei's hand holding the teapot froze. After a moment's thought, she looked at Rong Heng hesitantly and asked, "Xiangyang, when your bloodline conflict is healed, will you want to leave the nursery with Xiao Lihua?"
During these days, she and her wife had another brief communication.
The lady didn't know how she found out about the nursery, and she actually asked her about Xiangyang and Xiao Lihua during the call.
Xuewei naturally did not hide it anymore and told Li Sinian and his wife all her doubts and uncertainties.
She clearly remembered the joy and excitement that burst out on Mr. Xiangyang's face when she said that Xiangyang had the power to control objects. This man, who she had the impression of being cold and majestic, behaved so inappropriately in front of her for the first time.
Now there is only one question left, which is - why don’t the ages of the two siblings match?
In the end, the truth of the matter would have to wait until they arrived at the brooding facility to be determined, but she also knew what the lady and the gentleman meant from the video.
Regardless of whether Xiangyang and Xiaolihua are their children or not, they have already made a decision - no matter what, they will adopt them and take them away from the nursery.
Seeing how excited and happy they were, Xuewei couldn't bear to spoil their fun and could only nod in agreement.
However, she knew that Rong Heng had to stay in the nursery because of a blood conflict, and... she felt that even if this problem was resolved, the lion brother and sister would probably not want to leave.
Sure enough, after she asked, Rong Heng didn't hesitate at all. He shook his head and said, "I haven't considered it yet."
At least he had not thought about leaving before repaying Susu's kindness. What's more, the nursery was his and his sister's home. Even if he left one day, it would probably be just a short trip and he would be back soon.
Then, Rong Heng saw that after he finished speaking, there was obviously a hint of sadness between Xuewei's brows.
He felt that Xuewei was a very sentimental girl. Although she usually behaved well and had a likable personality, she would occasionally reveal a melancholy look inadvertently.
She clearly possessed a powerful strength that even he and Ran Lie envied, but this power did not seem that important to her.
"What if... your parents come to find you?" Xuewei continued to ask.
"They are no longer here." Rong Heng was very calm.
"Then...what if they're still here?"
Hearing the urgency in her tone, Rong Heng looked at her strangely, then shook his head and said calmly, "So what?"
Xuewei was stunned. "Don't you miss your parents?"
"I don't remember them. They are just strangers to me." Rong Heng said, "Maybe... they are not even as good as the other adults in the base."
Why did you come looking for them if you had abandoned them in the first place? Or why didn't you find them earlier?
They didn't show up when he and his sister were going through the most difficult and painful times. Now that their lives have gotten better, they no longer need them.
What's the point of them appearing again?
Xuewei looked at Rong Heng's cold expression, as if she saw the gentleman's serious look, and she couldn't help but become quiet in a daze.
Rong Heng thought for a moment and then asked, "What about you? Do you want to leave the nursery?"
Xuewei blinked, then murmured, "I can't bear to do that."
"Then stay." Rong Heng said.
Xuewei looked up at him, then looked at the little girl who was quietly drawing not far away, and the other little friends on the green field.
She hadn't been here long, but she really couldn't bear to leave. But if this was the case... what should Madam do?
She forced a smile, then stood up and walked out of the trellis, but did not respond to Rong Heng's last words.
Rong Heng frowned as he watched her walk away.
"Susu, I'm going out for a while."
In the dormitory, A Yan came to the bedroom and looked at Su Ci who was taking a nap on the bed with a gentle expression.
Su Ci closed his eyes and breathed shallowly. He did not answer as he slept soundly. The sunlight gently fell on his face, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Finally, the platinum-haired young man sitting beside the bed couldn't help but lean over and gently kissed Su Ci on the hair.
The kiss faded away immediately, and then A Yan disappeared into the bedroom, as if nothing had happened...
24th Base, Logistics Department Building.
"You guys wait here for a moment. I'll take Keeper Wen to get the uniforms and ID cards. After we get the job at the administrative office, I'll take you to the nursery." Shi Yjiang said.
The man and woman standing in front of him were Li Sinian and his wife, who had finally arrived at Prison Star.
Their warship docked at the supply station, and the two of them and their adjutant followed Wen Yan and arrived at Base 24 under the guidance of logistics personnel who went to the supply station to collect supplies.
The situation on Prison Star was indeed as bad as they had understood. After arriving, the couple had been worried. Even after watching more videos from Wen Yan, they were still worried.
"Okay, go ahead." Yan Ya nodded quickly, hoping that they could go to the nursery earlier after finishing the process.
Wen Yan took her daughter's hand and went to collect the supplies.
"Mom, are we going to live here from now on?" Xixi followed Wen Yan closely, looked at the lobby on the first floor of the logistics department, and said in a low voice.
"Yeah, baby, will you be scared?"
It was only after Wen Yan came here that she realized the situation on Prison Star was so bad. And for some reason, there was a strong smell of garlic in Base 24, which seemed to be smelled everywhere, making her feel unreliable.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
However, Sissi said, "As long as I'm with my mother, I'm not afraid of going anywhere."
Wen Yan touched her ears with some emotion.
Afterwards, they received their things and started walking back. Shi Yjiang lagged behind by a step. Just as he was about to follow, he felt someone patting his shoulder from behind.
Shi Yjiang was startled and turned around, only to see a handsome young man with platinum hair and eyes standing behind him.
The young man smiled at him slightly, looking like a well-behaved and quiet college student who had just entered society.
"You... who are you?" Shi Yjiang asked hesitantly.
"I'm the new breeder. My name is Zhou Yan. Please give me your guidance." The young man said with a smile.
After a moment of confusion, Shi Yjiang suddenly patted his head and nodded, "Oh, Zhou Yan, that's right, come and get the supplies with me, and then we'll go to the administrative building together."
"OK."
After A Yan received his uniform, nameplate, and a box of nutrient solution, he came to meet up with Li Sinian and the others.
Seeing this sudden appearance of young people, Li Sinian frowned slightly and asked, "Who is this..."
"The new trainee breeder, Zhou Yan."
Shi Yjiang introduced it casually, and then said, "Let's go to the administrative building."
After his introduction, everyone else present seemed to accept the matter, and no one doubted A Yan's identity anymore.
So, the group went to the administrative building together.
