Chapter 54
As soon as the little white deer opened its eyes, it saw the new keeper.
They had just formed an alliance yesterday, and he gave him a super delicious potato chip and gave him a very unreliable suggestion.
And today, when he was trapped in the cold world again and felt most helpless and desperate, he suddenly appeared, brought him warmth, and helped and guided him to suppress the power of ice and snow that was trying to control him.
The feeling this time is completely different from the past.
The little white deer is almost six years old this year and has been in the nursery for two years. In his own opinion, he is already a big boy, and he remembers many memories of the past very clearly.
He knew that he was a silver elk, and when the power of his bloodline was in turmoil, he would release the power of ice and snow. When that moment came, no one would be able to help him, and he would bring danger to other cubs.
So, when he was sent to this brooding center, he actually didn't feel any resentment.
Although the environment here is very poor, and the food and entertainment are not as rich as before, and he has to be locked in the room all day with only a little time to go out and play, the little white deer does not resent all this.
Because, when his bloodline power erupted for the first time and he went berserk, he almost killed the child he lived with.
Although those kids were stupid, slow to learn, naughty, and always liked to tease him, Little White Deer really never thought of killing them.
So after the incident, when the nanny robot that took care of him told him that the orphanage had decided to send him away, Little White Deer accepted it calmly. The only regret was that he was taken aboard the spaceship before he had time to apologize to the children.
Then he was taken to this harsh environment where there were many carnivorous animals.
The instinct of his blood makes the little white deer live in fear every day that he will be eaten one day. At the same time, he has to endure the torture of the power of ice and snow.
Number Two was being burned by flames every moment, while he was being frozen by frost and snow. It was hard to say who was suffering more. Perhaps what made him better off than Number Two was that he was still young, and the power of his bloodline did not erupt as frequently.
However, he was often woken up by the power of ice and snow at night, and was eroded by the cold all night long. Even if the heating was turned on, it was impossible to stop the chill that came from his bones and blood.
Whenever the cubs are detected going berserk, the base's intelligent computer will spray them with tranquilizers to quickly calm their emotions.
But this sedative didn't have such a significant effect on Number Seven.
Perhaps it was because the ice and snow slowed down the blood flow, so the drug took longer to take effect. Therefore, every time No. 7 inhaled the sedative, he had to continue to endure the torment of the cold.
It takes a long time every time before I completely lose consciousness.
What's more, Xiao Bailu's personality tends to be calm and rational. When the power of his bloodline takes effect, he will not fall into a frenzy every time.
In this way, the base's intelligent computer will not be able to detect his frenzied state and will not spray him with a sedative.
Therefore, the little white deer could only rely on his own willpower to endure the cold that could freeze the little wolf cub to unconsciousness. Every late night when everyone fell asleep, he was the only one left alone in the cold world.
It would not be until the early morning, when the power of his blood would subside, that his frozen body would gradually warm up.
Doctor Gu said that there was nothing that could be done about it, because although he possessed the blood of the silver elk, his body was essentially a human. Every burst of blood power was actually transforming his body.
He needs to continue to be honed and adapted before he can finally withstand the power of the Silver Elk and control the power of ice and snow.
This is something every beast-blood warrior needs to go through.
Therefore, the little white deer could only endure it silently, but that experience was too painful. Today, he almost couldn't bear it and listened to the voice in his heart and embraced Han Bing completely.
The little white deer knew that if he did this, he would no longer be so painful, but at the same time, he might no longer be his complete self.
He didn't want that, he didn't want to be a beast...
However, just when the little white deer was on the verge of collapse, he encountered a miracle.
At that time, someone hugged him and gave him warmth, and taught him how to suppress the cold power... This was something that the little white deer had never encountered before!
More importantly, the method that person taught him really worked! He really suppressed the power of ice and snow!
The little white deer looked up at the person who was holding him and guiding him. His beautiful eyes were shining with pure joy.
"It's you! You really came to protect me!"
Number Seven's eyes curved into a smile, like two lovely crescent moons hanging on his face. He felt warm not only in his body but also in his heart. The icicle that he had been holding in his hand loosened, fell to the ground and rolled away.
However, the little white deer quickly realized something and quickly stepped away from Su Ci's arms, then asked with concern: "Aren't you cold?"
Su Ci thought about it and showed him his hands.
Su Ci's body was much more fragile now. Even the giant spider's silk could pierce his skin. His palm, which was pressing on the child's head, was naturally frozen and bloodless.
It was bruised and looked very serious - of course, it only looked that way.
But this was enough to scare the little white deer.
He had just been wondering why the breeder looked so calm. Was he hiding his strength? Now, such doubts were instantly dispelled.
He held Su Ci's "frozen" hand, his mouth couldn't help but purse again, and tears began to accumulate in his eyes.
The little white deer did not choose to hide it anymore. After all, he had already cried in front of the breeder yesterday, so it didn’t matter if he was seen again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." The little white deer choked up, "Will you still be able to use your hands in the future? Do you have to cut them off?"
Having said this, the child's face, which had regained a bit of color, turned pale again.
Then he thought of something and said quickly, "Right! Let's go to the infirmary quickly! Just lie down in that medical cabin, any injury can be healed!"
As he said that, No. 7 was about to drag Su Ci to the medical department.
Although Su Ci did plan to go out today, it wasn't right now, so he held the child with his other hand and comforted him, "It will be fine in a while..."
Seeing the child's tearful eyes, he paused, then changed the subject and said, "Perhaps, could you help me pour a basin of warm water?"
"Okay, I'll be there right away!"
Number Seven immediately sprang into action, ready to seek help from the nanny robot. However, after only a few steps, he saw Number Two, held tightly in a corner of the activity room by Number Eight's arms and legs...
Number Two was also attracted by the movement here and looked over.
When their eyes met, the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Confusion crossed the little white deer's eyes. If he was not mistaken, the one being held by Number Two... was indeed Number Eight, right? Besides Number Eight, no other cub in the nursery had such a large, fluffy tail!
But what are they doing? Why are they hugging each other?
The little white deer didn't understand, but was deeply shocked.
However, he quickly remembered the breeder who was still waiting for warm water, so he suppressed his doubts and ran out of the activity room.
Number Two, who was about to open his mouth to explain, saw the child running away, so he could only close his eyes and grit his teeth in silence.
The little white deer was very active, and 4586 had been waiting outside the activity room. Soon, he and the nanny robot poured a basin of warm water and placed it in front of Su Ci.
Compared to the beginning, the bruises on Su Ci's hands had faded a little. After being placed in warm water, his blood and energy gradually recovered, and his stiff fingers also slowly regained their mobility.
The worried little white deer finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good!
The breeder's hand was saved!
After putting down the big rock, he turned his attention back to No. 2 and No. 8.
At this time, the little white deer finally remembered - before the breeder appeared, there was another person who hugged him and gave him warmth.
That person was Number Eight, the big stupid wolf who had always been at odds with him.
Recalling the dying look of the big stupid wolf, Number Seven also thought he understood why the breeder's injuries were relatively minor.
It may be that No. 8 had already been frozen, and after No. 8 let go of him, the power of ice and snow he released also weakened, so after the breeder held him, he did not suffer from serious frostbite.
Of course, his gratitude to the breeder did not diminish.
It was thanks to the keeper's companionship and guidance that he was able to defeat that power for the first time, giving him the confidence to fight against the power of his own bloodline in the future and not be controlled by ice and snow!
This is really very important to him.
However, the person who initially gave him warmth was Number Eight, and this was a fact he could not deny.
This realization made the little white deer feel conflicted, because he also did not forget that it was this big stupid wolf who had been laughing at him, which caused him to lose control of his emotions and eventually go berserk.
Really speaking, it was the stupid wolf who deserved it! They each got one, so it was even!
However……
The little white deer couldn't be so indifferent.
He couldn't help but look at Number Eight, wondering why Number Eight had held him at that moment and even wrapped him with his big, furry tail, which kept him from losing consciousness and allowed him to hold on until the keeper arrived.
This really doesn't seem like something this big stupid wolf would do... The little white deer recalled how Number Eight handed him the rag and wiped his tears.
Perhaps it was because he received too little kindness on a daily basis, so when Number Eight was a little friendly to him, he couldn't help but think of his good points.
Although he despised himself for this, the little white deer finally puffed up his cheeks and walked towards No. 2 and No. 8 reluctantly.
Number Two naturally noticed the approach of the little white deer.
He looked at the child who was coming over and for no reason he thought of number three.
This kid...isn't he also coming for number eight?
Sure enough, just as he guessed, after approaching, the little white deer asked him: "Number Two, what are you doing? Number Eight...is he okay?"
At this moment, Little White Deer's mentality had changed regarding the fact that Number Two had seen him crying. After all...
Number Two is now holding Number Eight, and has been doing so for quite some time!
In comparison, number two is more powerful!
Noticing the slightly curious look in the little white deer's eyes, the red-haired boy closed his eyes again, then gritted his teeth and said, "The breeder threw him to me..."
The little white deer couldn't help but be surprised.
This Explosive Tiger actually answered his question instead of getting angry at him! This is too abnormal!
Furthermore, was there any direct connection between the keeper throwing the wolf cub to him and the way they were hugging each other now? Did the keeper tell them to hold it this way? When did Number Two become so obedient?
The little white deer's eyes became more and more confused and curious.
The red-haired boy took another deep breath, as if telling himself to calm down. Then, with a stern face, he said coolly, "Did you just go berserk?"
The little white deer nodded, he felt there was no need to hide it.
Number Two hesitated for a few seconds, then finally explained, "You almost froze the little wolf to death. He must have sensed the red flames on me, and once he touched me, he wouldn't let go."
So, he had no choice but to be held like this by him!
The little white deer nodded, accepting what he said, then hesitantly reached out and took No. 8's temperature.
"He seems to be okay," the little boy said.
Number Two actually also felt that the cold breath was gradually weakening. When he heard what Number Seven said, he tentatively pulled the little wolf's hand away.
Number Eight, who had been clinging to him tightly just now, had loosened his grip and was released when he pulled.
It just looked like he was completely unconscious.
"Oh! What happened to Baba?"
4586 also noticed their situation. Seeing that the little wolf cub was not in good condition, he quickly checked him.
Fortunately, apart from a low body temperature, the little wolf cub did not have any major problems. 4586 said something to Su Ci, then carried the little wolf cub out of the activity room, preparing to take him back to the room to keep warm.
After watching 4586 leave, the little white deer thought for a moment, then turned to ask the keeper, "How's your hand?"
Su Ci showed him his right hand, which had regained its flexibility, and next to him, the basin of water that had just cooled down had become No. 6's new toy.
The little monkey clapped his hands in the basin and had a lot of fun playing with the water. He didn't care about the situation of the wolf cub, and after watching the embarrassing situations of No. 2 and No. 7 for a while, he lost interest.
That heartless look is really enviable.
Number Seven nodded, "I'll go back to my room then."
Before leaving, he picked up the toy flute that had fallen on the ground and put it back into the toy basket. When he saw the bamboo flute dropped by No. 8, he picked it up as well, then followed 4586 into the elevator together.
Su Ci watched him leave and was just thinking about what to do next when the voice call from 4586 came in.
"Susu, Baba just said that Erer has dark circles under his eyes. Maybe he didn't sleep well last night."
The nanny robot reminded her, "Er Er is at a very important stage in her growth and needs the care and love of her keepers."
Su Ci couldn't help but look at number two.
His voice was not in privacy mode, so number 2 also heard what 4586 said.
The expression on the red-haired boy's face turned red and green, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
This number eight!
He looked at the metal wall, and in the reflection of the light, he could indeed see the dark circles under his eyes. He looked a little haggard, as if he had not slept well at night.
But he rarely slept well at night before!
Number Two didn't know whether he had the dark circles under his eyes all along or if they appeared because he didn't sleep well last night.
And the reason why he didn't sleep well last night...
The scene of No. 8 being touched on the tail by the breeder in the corridor reappeared in his mind, and the red-haired boy's body couldn't help but become stiff.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the breeder a little awkwardly.
The young man was also looking at him, his eyes scrutinizing his face with a slightly thoughtful expression, as if he was really studying his dark circles.
The little tiger's fur instantly exploded, "What are you looking at?"
Su Ci said calmly, "Look at you."
“…”
The red-haired boy opened his eyes wide, but he couldn't figure out how to respond.
This breeder... is just as shameless as Number 8! No wonder the two of them made such a deal!
When the boy's face flushed again and he didn't know what to say, he heard the breeder suddenly say, "Thank you for what I just said."
Thanks? Thanks for what?
Number Two looked at Su Ci in confusion and asked his own questions.
"You didn't throw away number eight just now." Su Ci said.
In fact, Su Ci was also quite surprised. After all, based on the character of this little tiger and his relationship with the little wolf, he should not help.
Given the situation at the time, if he was unwilling to help, he might have to take some action.
Fortunately, this little tiger is also a person with a tough mouth but a soft heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, Number Two's expression suddenly turned sour. He said coldly, "I was planning to throw him away anyway, but he just wouldn't let me go!"
Su Ci said "oh" and nodded to show that he understood.
Number Two looked at him, lips pursed.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "So, what happened just now? Why did you give me number eight?"
Originally, he thought that the breeder Su was weak and might not stay here for long, but now, he felt that the breeder Su might not be simple.
He had just held Number Eight for so long that he could naturally feel how strong the cold power in Number Eight was. This was obviously affected by the blood power of Number Seven.
However, the breeder, who also held No. 7 for quite a while, seemed fine except for his frozen hands.
Is this reasonable?
Thinking of the invisible presence in the elevator and the way the breeder spoke to the air in the corridor, No. 2 confirmed his judgment.
This breeder is definitely not as ordinary as he looks!
However, facing his scrutiny, the breeder remained calm. He said, "You're hot, and he's cold. Isn't this a perfect balance?"
Number Two couldn't argue with that.
To be honest, if the blood power of Number Seven could offset and alleviate his red flames and allow him to maintain his sanity, perhaps he could choose to persuade Number Seven to leave Base 24 with him.
Although No. 7 is young, he is very smart. If the two of them work together, their chances of survival in the red fog may be much greater.
As for whether this breeder is strong or weak... In fact, as long as he does not become an obstacle for him to leave Base 24, what does his strength have to do with him?
The red-haired boy gradually calmed down, but the breeder came closer and asked with a slightly curious tone, "So, did you really not sleep well last night?"
Being reminded again that he didn't sleep well last night, Number Two got angry again, "What does this have to do with you?!"
Looking at the expression on the child's face, Su Ci touched his chin, "Is it really okay?"
"Of course not!"
"Oh well."
Su Ci nodded, and without paying any more attention to him, he turned and walked towards the toy area, took out the flute that No. 7 had put back, and then walked towards the corner where No. 3 was.
Number Two watched him walk away, shook his tail in annoyance, walked back to the corner, and sat down with his arms folded.
Should I make a deal with the breeder?
The tiger cub was in a dilemma again, but his mind was still clear. No matter what, this matter had to wait until they were alone!
In the corner, Su Ci began to teach Number Three to play the flute.
Maybe it was due to talent or a problem with his eyes, but No. 3's progress was slower than No. 8's. He asked Su Ci two questions in a low voice, and after getting the answers, he started practicing seriously on his own.
The sobbing flute sound rang out again in the activity room.
Number Two saw this and was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.
After all, No. 3 and No. 8 started playing this thing called a flute yesterday, and the only one who could bring such changes to the nursery was the new breeder.
The little monkey who was playing in the water was also attracted by the sound of the flute.
He dropped the basin, stood up and walked towards No. 3's corner, but after taking two steps, he stepped back, poured the water in the basin onto the ground, then held the basin high in both hands and ran quickly to No. 3's side.
"Liuliu wants to play too!"
The little monkey turned the basin upside down on the ground and took out two drum sticks from somewhere.
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
The young boy banged the metal basin of water so hard that it made a clanging sound, and coupled with his devilish laughter, it was so loud that it hurt people's ears.
Number Three, who was originally practicing playing the flute, slowly put the flute down, covered his ears with his little hands, and began to shrink into the corner, curling up his small body into a ball.
Seeing him like this, the little monkey not only didn't stop, but laughed even louder as if he had discovered something interesting.
"Let's play together!"
He banged the basin with delight, probably thinking it was some sort of noise-making game.
However, as he was knocking, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and held him down.
Although the hand looked very slender, he couldn't break free at all. The little monkey glared at the keeper next to him with some displeasure.
The breeder just looked at him calmly and whispered, "Don't make any noise."
The young man's eyes were dark, and there seemed to be something terrible lurking in his calm eyes. The little monkey, who had always been fearless, felt a chill in his heart for the first time when he saw those eyes up close.
Of course, he didn't understand what this frightening feeling was, but he instinctively felt that it was best not to provoke the breeder at this time.
However, the little monkey was very confused.
"I'm not making any noise," the blond boy said. "I'm playing with Number Three! Do you want to join us? This is fun!"
He broke free from the keeper's hand, took the small stick again, and happily knocked it on the water basin, making a dong sound.
The child laughed even more happily when he heard the sound.
However, when he raised the other small stick, for some reason, he couldn't hit it the second time.
It wasn't because something stopped him, but...
The blond boy raised his head and looked at the breeder with his light red round eyes. The expression on the face of this handsome young man was calm and his aura had not changed.
However, Number Six felt that if he struck the ball with this blow, something bad might happen.
He looked at the breeder, then at the water basin in front of him, and finally threw the two sticks away and said angrily: "Humph, I won't play with you anymore!"
After saying that, he stood up and ran away quickly to continue playing with his toy car.
Number Three, who was huddled in the corner, finally tentatively opened his ears and let out a small breath after the surroundings quieted down.
He raised his little head and turned to Su Ci.
The little boy's usually dull light blue eyes seemed to have a little more light, tiny and faint, but like the first morning star appearing in the endless darkness.
