Chapter 21
In the corridor, a golden light flashed across Su Ci's eyes.
In the treatment room just across the wall, Number Four, who had been staring at Gu Qingchen fiercely, suddenly restrained his expression.
There was a hint of confusion in the child's eyes, and then he closed his eyes, fell down weakly, and fainted again.
When he saw sharp glass fragments and broken metal pieces flying towards him, Gu Qingchen quickly squatted down, calmly grabbed a chair, and held it high above his head to block it.
"Patta—Patta—"
Some of the objects floating in the room lost their support and fell from the air, while some continued to smash towards Gu Qingchen due to inertia.
"Ping-pong-pong--"
He blocked several pieces of glass with the chair in his hand, and some that were thrown at his body were bounced off by a protective shield that lit up around him, splashing onto the metal floor around him.
Gu Qingchen did not stand up until the noise had subsided for a long time. He looked around the treatment room vigilantly through his glasses, like a frightened bird.
Although as the only purifier in Base 24, he is equipped with a protective shield that can automatically pop out to block attacks when he is attacked, but there is also a limit to his endurance.
For the sake of his life, Gu Qingchen had to be cautious.
But he didn't notice when the door of the treatment room opened. He was so scared that he stepped back when a pair of black leather shoes came in front of him.
When he looked up, he saw Su Ci had returned without him noticing. The young man was standing in front of him, looking at him with his head tilted, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Just now he was full of confidence, claiming that he had rich experience, but at this moment——
Doctor Gu, who was hiding under the chair in embarrassment, said: "..."
“…………”
Gu Qingchen's expression was stiff, and he and Su Ci looked at each other in silence.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, he finally reacted and quickly said in a nonchalant tone, "Of course I'm fine."
He said this, but avoided Su Ci's sight.
Just a casual glance forward, his eyes touched the gray-blue uniform trouser legs of the breeder, and when he lowered his eyes again, he saw Su Ci's pair of black leather shoes that were as clean as new.
“…”
Gu Qingchen, the most respected purifier in Base 24, has never been so embarrassed!
He quickly threw away the chair in his hand, then got up from the ground, quickly straightened his clothes and slightly messy hair, and quickly straightened his crooked gold-rimmed glasses.
Su Ci looked at him and said, "Just now..."
"It was just an accident!"
After Gu Qingchen finished speaking, he realized that he was a little anxious. He coughed and changed the subject, "Just now, it was number four who suddenly went crazy..."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but frowning.
Controlling objects... This is an ability that No. 4 has never demonstrated before.
According to No. 4's file, he has the blood of a red-tailed lion. Red-tailed lions are known for their strong physique and agile speed, but they do not have any special talents or skills.
Did the red mist stimulate a bloodline mutation, giving him superpowers? Or was it simply like Number Two, awakening a previously undiscovered innate skill within his bloodline?
However, Number Four had already fallen asleep and was unable to give him an answer.
Gu Qingchen suddenly realized something and turned to look at No. 2 on the other bed, only to see that he had fainted just like No. 4. No wonder he hadn't heard any noise just now.
He couldn't help but frown.
You know, for someone as frenzied as No. 2, it would be difficult for him to calm down in such a short time by relying on his own will, let alone fall into a peaceful sleep.
Gu Qingchen felt something was strange.
These two cubs seemed to be in a frenzied state yesterday and fell asleep for no reason... Could it be that some new characteristics have appeared?
If the Red Flame Tiger and the Red Tailed Lion go berserk at the same time, will both of them fall into a coma in the middle of the fight?
Gu Qingchen frowned and thought, completely ignoring Su Ci. Su Ci didn't mind. He looked at the time and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave."
Hearing this, Gu Qingchen came back to his senses.
Although Su Ci saw his most embarrassed side, he could sense that it was wrong to come back and show concern for him, and he had to appreciate this kindness.
Gu Qingchen: "Well, thank you."
Su Ci: "You're welcome."
Gu Qingchen: "..."
Although he did thank him...but is this Su Ci so shameless? Looking at the small plastic red flower pinned on the young man's temples, Gu Qingchen took a deep breath and decided not to dwell on it.
At this time, the metal door of the treatment room opened again, and the guard who received the alarm rushed in belatedly, pointing his fully armed gun at bed No. 2 and bed No. 4.
"Doctor Gu, are you okay?" the guard captain asked nervously.
Now that the blood rain has just ended, the base is still in chaos, especially at the Medical Purification Department, where the people who are received carry high concentrations of pollutants.
Affected by pollutants, these people's emotions can easily get out of control and cause conflicts, so the guards are transferred to maintain order, and the care of the cubs is relaxed.
I didn't expect that something would happen again in such a short time. Purification technicians are very rare. If something really happened to Dr. Gu, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Yeah, it's okay." Gu Qingchen shook his head. "The condition of these two cubs is still unstable. It's best to leave two people here to watch over them and prevent any problems from happening again."
Guard Captain: "Understood!"
So, Gu Qingchen took Su Ci away. He sent Su Ci into the elevator, and when the elevator door closed, he was just about to go back to his office to rest when his communicator rang.
Gu Qingchen looked at the nickname displayed on the communication panel, pursed his lips, turned on the privacy mode, and answered the voice call.
As soon as I answered the phone, the other party asked anxiously, "When the blood rain came, No. 2 and No. 4 were in the medical bay, but they still went berserk?"
Gu Qingchen: "Yes."
"Did you save the data? What's the current situation of the two cubs?"
Gu Qingchen: "He's in a coma. The medical cabin is destroyed. I don't know if the intelligent computer has backed up the data."
"Asleep? They calmed down so quickly after going berserk?"
"It seems so, and they fell into a coma at the same time." Gu Qingchen did not hide it. Anyway, that person would also check the surveillance video of this treatment room.
"Control objects? I remember Number Four is of Red-tailed Lion bloodline, right?"
Gu Qingchen: "Yes."
"Okay! Okay... I'll have someone retrieve the two damaged medical pods later."
Probably sensing Gu Qingchen's downturn, the man suppressed his joy and soothed him, "Don't worry, the application for two medical cabins has been submitted. They will go through the procedures of the research institute and will be approved soon."
Gu Qingchen pursed his lips slightly, but finally agreed, "Well, send someone to move it."
He was about to hang up the call, but suddenly remembered something and asked again, "By the way, about the pollutant detector... will the size of the wound affect the pollutant detection value?"
"Theoretically no, what's wrong?"
Gu Qingchen frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Nothing."
It might just be a coincidence. Let's wait and observe a few more times before saying anything. Anyway, that breeder will have to go to the medical purification department many times in the future.

Su Ci left the Medical Purification Department and saw a floating bus just stopped at the station, so he took No. 1 on the bus and came to the Logistics Department building.
At the entrance of the logistics department building, the hover bus that was destroyed by the giant spider has been moved away. It is not known whether it has been scrapped or sent for repair. A maintenance team is urgently repairing the protective metal on the outside of the building that was destroyed by the monster.
Su Ci walked into the building with Number One.
People were coming and going in the building. The uninjured logistics staff were busy working. Even if they saw him, they just nodded at him and didn't come over to pay attention to him.
Su Ci went straight to the window where he had received the nutrient solution before, and according to what Shi Yjiang told him, he took out his ID card and swiped it on the card slot.
[Hello, trainee breeder Su Ci.]
[This month's supplies have been collected. You can also use this device to select the following services]
[1. Points exchange for supplies]
【2. Monthly supplies delivered to your door】
【3. Purchase material reservation】
After entering the first option, a material exchange list popped up. It was basically the same as the one Luo Shengfei showed Su Ci in the morning, except that some quantities were obviously reduced, which must have been exchanged by someone.
Su Ci first selected five boxes of nutrient solution, then scrolled down the list and found two types of fertilizers.
[This exchange includes 5 nutrient solutions (21 units), 1 solid mixed fertilizer (250g), and 1 multifunctional curing solution (200ml). A total of 200 points will be deducted. Balance: 74]
【Supplies are being prepared】
【Complete】
The things were directly sent out from the window, and at the same time, the 200 points were gone. However, with the points traded from Luo Shengfei as a base, there were at least more than 70 points left, which could be exchanged for seven more boxes of nutrient solution.
Su Ci casually put the nutrient solution and fertilizer into the space button and left with Number One.
This time he did not choose to take the hover bus, but walked onto the teleportation platform. However, before the identity verification was completed, his figure disappeared from the teleportation platform.
[Authentication failed]
The light curtain swept away everything, and then fell silent. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that Su Ci had left on the teleportation platform. If no one checked the teleportation records, no one would notice anything.
In front of the nursery.
Number One followed Su Ci down the teleportation platform. He opened his eyes wide with curiosity, looked back at the platform, then turned back and looked up at Su Ci.
So this is what teleportation feels like?
Great, now he can ride the teleportation platform too!
As he walked into the gate of the nursery and passed by the yard, Number One's eyes couldn't help but look behind the building. He still remembered that small piece of mud and the little thing that talked to him in the mud.
But when he found that Su Ci did not stay, he had to suppress his curiosity and went into the nursery building with Su Ci and came to the activity room.
Contrary to what Gu Qingchen had just guessed, the activity room was very quiet. There was no sign of the cubs, and there were no signs of damage inside.
Number One also stood at the door and looked into the activity room curiously.
Su Ci closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he led Number One towards the kitchen, and finally found Number 4586 who was busy in the kitchen.
"Susu, you're back!"
The nanny robot's voice was full of energy, no different from when Su Ci left.
Su Ci was a little confused. There was chaos and war outside because of the bloody rain, but why was the nursery so peaceful?
He thought of the children's laughter he heard in the logistics building. Could it be that the owner of that voice was really a cub in the nursery?
