Chapter 66
Don’t be fooled by the fact that little Zhengxing is quiet and speaks softly, but when he really insists on doing something, the little wolf cub really can’t beat him.
"Do you really want to go with me?" Xiao Langze confirmed again.
Xiao Zhengxing nodded.
"Okay then." The little wolf cub put the bamboo flute back, thought about it, ran back to the room, carefully put the bamboo flute back in the cabinet, and then ran out again.
"Let's go downstairs together."
The little wolf cub said to the little Zhengxing, "But you have to follow me all the time. If you encounter danger and I tell you to run, you have to run quickly, okay?"
Xiao Zhengxing nodded again.
"Okay, let's go downstairs." Little Langze tiptoed towards the stairwell. Although he usually looked careless, his figure was extremely agile at this moment. When his toes landed on the ground, no sound could be heard.
He came to the stairwell and looked down the stairs first to make sure there was no danger before turning back.
He originally wanted to wait for Xiao Zhengxing, but he saw the child had already come quietly behind him, like a little ghost, and his movements were silent.
Little Langze was stunned for a moment, then gave him an affirmative look.
I didn’t expect that Little Star, who usually doesn’t like to move, can run so fast and is no less agile than him.
"Let's go down."
He mouthed this silently, then led little Zhengxing downstairs cautiously.
Third floor, bedroom in room 303.
When the red fog began to gather and blood-colored frost gradually condensed on the windows, A Yan woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Looking at the frost on the window, A Yan knew that it must be very cold outside. He had experienced countless extreme weather conditions and knew better than anyone how torturous this kind of climate was.
And now, he was in a warm bed, held in the arms of his breeder, and the warm warmth enveloped him, making him feel warm and comfortable not only physically but also in his heart.
A Yan squinted his eyes comfortably, but soon, hearing the whistling wind outside, he couldn't help but become worried.
It's so cold outside, will the two little spirit buds and the star chain fruit vine be okay? Although there is a transparent cover protecting them, I don't know if the cover can keep them warm.
A Yan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Su Ci who was sleeping soundly.
He was sleeping soundly, with a faint light golden energy lingering around him, floating slowly with his breathing, making his sleeping face unconsciously exude a divine beauty.
This light golden energy could only be gradually seen after A Yan mastered the first divine text.
A Yan thought about it, but did not wake Su Ci up. Instead, he reached out and touched the space button hanging on his chest, and took out two silent earplugs from it.
He found this when he was tidying up the space button. The breeder must have used it before, and he didn't know why he didn't use it when sleeping now.
He slipped out of Su Ci's arms, then half-lay on the edge of the bed on the other side, and carefully placed one of the earplugs on Su Ci's ear.
Instead of forcing the earbuds into his ears, he tapped the button on them.
After the silent earplugs are activated, they automatically generate a transparent protective cover to isolate most of the noise. They can also automatically adhere to the ears. They are lighter than a feather and can achieve completely non-sensory contact.
After activating this silent earplug, A Yan clearly saw that the young man's slightly frowned brows relaxed and he slept more soundly.
A Yan grinned.
However, because the young man was lying on his side, his other ear was pressed against the pillow, so it was difficult to put the second earplug in him.
A Yan observed for a while and then put away the remaining earplugs. Complete silence is not a good idea. If something dangerous happens, it will be terrible if the breeder can't hear it.
Thinking of this, he climbed down from the bed and disappeared in a flash.
When he reappeared, he was already in the yard.
There was a red fog outside, and the concentration of pollutants definitely exceeded the warning value. However, the monitors were covered with a thick layer of blood-red frost, and seemed to have lost their detection function, so no alarm was issued.
As soon as A Yan arrived in the yard, he felt a little regretful.
The concentration of pollutants in the yard was too high and the temperature was very low. The cub suit he was wearing with regulatory functions did not seem to be enough to resist the cold.
Moreover, the red fog seemed to be able to sense him, and the already thick fog was converging towards him.
A Yan was just about to slip back to the dormitory, but the space button hanging on his chest gently floated up - to be precise, it was the light golden lanyard woven from Su Ci's hair.
A light golden light was released from the hanging rope, forming a faint halo around A Yan.
The surging red mist seemed to have lost its target in an instant and drifted away aimlessly. A Yan, who had been eroded by the cold, once again felt the warmth that could melt all the ice and snow.
It's the power of the breeder...
A Yan reached out and grasped the space button, smiling happily, then he looked down at the ground.
“Cold…cold…”
Little Lingya's voice was weak and limp, devoid of the spirit it had during the day. Even the fluctuations emitted by the Star Chain Fruit Vine were filled with a hint of shrinking pain.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the blood-colored frost flowers did not penetrate into the spiritual shield, so the small spiritual buds and fruit vines were not frozen.
But even so, A Yan was still heartbroken.
He took out a cotton jacket from the space button and covered the little spirit bud and the fruit vine with it. However, after a while, the delicate one was still complaining about being cold. Although the lazy little one was very quiet, this made A Yan even more worried.
What should I do?
A Yan thought of something and flashed back to the dormitory. When he came back, there was a small ball in his hand.
He turned on the switch, made some settings, and then stuffed the small ball under his cotton jacket.
He found this in the bedside table in his bedroom. This small ball can be stuffed into the quilt, and it will start to heat up as long as the switch is turned on.
When the temperature in the quilt reaches the set value, it will stop working. Not only that, the range of action can also be set. Every three minutes or so, the small ball will automatically roll to another position until the entire quilt reaches a constant temperature.
The breeder has his own warm bed, so of course he doesn't need this thing, but it is just right for the little Lingyas to use now.
After the little ball started working, after a while, the sound of the delicate baby complaining about the cold gradually subsided, and then he began to sleep soundly.
A Yan didn't think it had become lazy. After all, it was too cold now, and the night was the time for rest.
After the quiet little lazy guy also shouted, A Yan finally felt relieved. He rubbed his hands and was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep when he suddenly sensed something.
A Yan frowned slightly and looked inside the nursery.
What kind of fluctuation is this? How strange… He dodged again and arrived at the elevator entrance on the first floor of the nursery.
Ah Yan looked up at the constantly changing numbers on the elevator, a hint of confusion in his eyes. What was going on? Why was someone still using the elevator so late at night?
Could it be 4586? But he clearly felt the breath of life coming from above.
A Yan stepped aside and hid in the corner, observing secretly.
After a while, the elevator arrived at the first floor.
The elevator door slowly opened, just a crack, and strange and crazy muttering and laughter rushed out from inside, making the entire quiet corridor noisy.
A Yan frowned. He recognized this kind of phenomenon. It appeared in the logistics building during the last bloody rain.
How did you get to the nursery?
Then, he saw a figure wearing protective clothing and a helmet. His face was not very clear, but judging from his figure, he should be a man.
What surprised A Yan was that the man was still holding number five. When he walked out of the elevator, number six, number seven, and number two, who was one step behind, also followed out.
They followed the man in a daze and walked towards the front door of the nursery.
The mumbling and laughter became more and more crazy. A Yan vaguely saw a face that looked neither human nor human, hidden in the red mist, laughing loudly and was extremely excited.
It's a monster.
A Yan confirmed it immediately.
He pursed his lips slightly. Having stayed in the nursery for so many years, A Yan certainly knew what fate he would face if he was taken away by the monster in the red fog.
He took a step forward, then paused.
In A Yan's dark red eyes, the red part was spreading around - although he was protected by Su Ci's hair, he had been eroded by the red fog for many years, and the pollutants had long been integrated into his body.
Under the influence of those mumblings and laughter, the pollutants in his body seemed to be mobilized, trying to affect his mind.
"If these cubs are taken away by monsters, the keepers will focus more on you!"
'Other cubs will only distract the keepers!'
"Don't you want the breeder to stay with you all the time? Eliminate these rivals and make sure you're the only breeder!"
"You're the only one..."
The laughter around him became more and more crazy, as if even the space could be distorted. A Yan could not help but close his eyes and tried his best to endure it.
When Luo Shengfei walked past him with a few cubs, and when No. 2, dragging his feet and falling behind, walked past him, A Yan finally opened his eyes.
The red color that spread in his eyes faded away, and his vision had returned to clarity.
The child reached out and took hold of Number Two's arm.
Then, the next moment, when the red mist face looked over vigilantly, A Yan had already disappeared from the spot with No. 2.
Watching Number Two disappear, the originally excited Red Mist's face turned into one of extreme anger. It roared, "Who was it? Who took the little tiger away?"
Its angry roars echoed in the corridor, and its madness and ravings filled the entire nursery. In the dormitory on the third floor, Su Ci, who was sleeping soundly, had his brows, which had originally relaxed, wrinkled again.
The red mist face in the corridor on the first floor knew nothing about this, and even if it knew, it would not care.
The red mist it transformed into swept around, but after finding nothing, it could only gather into a red, illusory face again and said unwillingly, "Let's go, get out of here!"
It was able to enter the nursery thanks to Number Five's painting. It could not move too far away from the painting, and the longer it stayed in the nursery, the more its power would be weakened by the power of rules.
If we delay any further, it will be more trouble than good.
Otherwise, not only the nursery, but the entire base would be turned upside down to bring back any cubs that dared to escape!
Under the control of the red mist face, Luo Shengfei continued to move forward holding No. 5.
On the second floor, near the stairwell.
A Yan reappeared with No. 2 - this was his first time teleporting someone, and this distance was already his limit.
The next moment, A Yan heard angry roars coming from downstairs. He hurriedly grabbed No. 2, made him bend down, then covered his mouth tightly, and looked up with some worry.
Won’t the keeper be woken up?
Fortunately, after a while, the angry roar dissipated, and except for the faint mumbling, it finally became quiet.
And the monster that took No. 5 and the others away didn't seem to chase after them.
A Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of No. 2.
But Number Two's condition was still not right. His eyes had lost focus. After A Yan let him go, he actually started walking downstairs again, muttering something like "Follow me".
This state... seems like being controlled by Number Five.
A Yan quickly grabbed the young man. He ignored the temptations, restrained the evil thoughts in his heart, and took the risk to rescue him. He couldn't let all his efforts go to waste.
But what should we do?
A Yan recalled what Su Ci had said to him during the lecture. He remembered the breeder saying that No. 5's ability was the power of words, which was also a kind of power of rules.
The power of rules...
A Yan hesitated for a moment, and while pulling No. 2, he took out his small notebook from the space button and turned to the last page with great effort. On it was the divine text he left behind when he was practicing.
A faint spiritual charm flowed on the divine text. He looked up at No. 2, recalling the feeling when he wanted to talk to the breeder before, and opened his mouth slightly.
He opened his mouth wide, trying his best to say the word. Finally, as his mind focused, the divine words on the notebook emitted a platinum-colored light.
Then, A Yan uttered smoothly: "Wake up!"
At the same time, one of his hands hit No. 2's forehead, as if hammering the word into No. 2's mind.
Number Two, who was still struggling to go downstairs, suddenly regained clarity in his unfocused reddish-brown eyes, and looked around in a daze.
"Why am I here..." he muttered.
“Pah—”
A notebook suddenly appeared and fell to the ground. The pages flipped, revealing a divine text that had lost all its charm.
Number Two blinked, bent down to pick up the notebook, and just as he did so, he remembered what had happened before—someone had brought Number Five into his room! And then…
Then he remembered nothing.
Looking at the notebook in his hand and the words on it, No. 2 suddenly sensed something and looked up, but there was nothing in front of him.
This feeling is...
"Number one?" the red-haired boy asked tentatively, "You are number one, right?"
A Yan was slightly stunned. Before in the elevator, the breeder said that Number Two seemed to have noticed him, but he didn't expect that he even guessed that he was Number One.
He nodded subconsciously, then remembered that no one except the breeder could see him.
A Yan had no choice but to take out a pen and write the word "right" on the notebook held by the red-haired boy.
However, looking at the extra words on the notebook, Number Two's eyes became a little more confused. He hesitated and said, "If you were Number One, just draw a circle on the paper."
Although A Yan was a little confused, he still did as he was told.
Looking at the extra circle on the white paper, Number Two was a little shocked. He hadn't expected that this was actually Number One! There really was a Number One in the brooding facility!
The boy opened his mouth. He had many questions, but in the end he didn't ask too many questions. Instead, he asked the most important thing at the moment. "So, what's going on now? Why am I here? Where's Number Five?"
A Yan picked up the pen again and wrote on the white paper.
The red-haired boy's expression became tangled. He didn't let A Yan finish writing, but asked, "You can't speak, right?"
A Yan drew a circle on the white paper.
Number Two couldn't help scratching his head and said with a bad look on his face, "I can't read. I can't understand what you wrote."
Although No. 2 is already in his early teens, he has been troubled by the power of his bloodline for many years and his mind is rarely clear. In addition, the environment in the nursery makes it impossible for him to learn to read.
In other words, except for Ayan and Qiyi, all the other cubs in the nursery are illiterate.
A Yan just remembered this. Since there was no way to communicate, he could only give up. He took the notebook back and put it into the space button together with the pen.
At this time, the young man asked again: "Then number five..."
Before Number Two could finish his words, the door to the stairwell was suddenly pushed open. The young man jumped away alertly, his reddish-brown tiger eyes staring at the stairwell, and the hair on his tail stood up.
Just as he was about to spit out flames to defend himself, he saw a figure appear behind the door—
It’s number three and number eight?
Number Two suddenly fell silent and looked at them in surprise.
Little Langze was also very surprised. He pointed at Number Two and said, "It's really you! Xingxing, didn't you say that Number Two was taken away by a monster?"
He asked the little Zhengxing behind him, then looked at No. 2, "By the way, who were you talking to just now? A monster?"
Xiao Langze looked around the corridor but didn't see any trace of the monster, but he could still hear the faint muttering and laughter, so he knew that Xiao Zhengxing was not lying.
A monster really appeared in the nursery!
Number Two glanced at where A Yan had just stood, hesitated for a moment, and did not give him up. Instead, he said, "I saw Number Five being taken away by a man in a protective suit. I don't remember anything else."
Little Langze's attention was instantly diverted. "Yes, Number Five! And Yoyo, they were all taken away by the monsters. Should we go and save them?"
Number Two frowned, "Who is Yoyo?"
Just now, the little wolf cub looked at number three. He could probably guess that the "star" referred to number three, and that the "yo yo" was...
"Number seven," the little wolf puffed out his chest and boasted, "We all have names now. Number three is Zhengxing, nicknamed Xingxing, and I'm Langze!"
Seeing No. 2's somewhat dazed expression, the little wolf cub became more and more proud, until Xiao Zhengxing tugged at his clothes from behind, and he came back to his senses.
Now is not the time to talk about this! Saving lives is the most important thing!
"Since there's nothing on the second, third, or fourth floors, they must have gone to the first floor!" Little Langze said, "Let's hurry downstairs. We can't let the monster take Number Five and the others away!"
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Zhengxing and went downstairs again.
Although he was wondering when the relationship between the little wolf cub and numbers three and seven became so close, number two paused after looking at their backs, but still raised his foot and followed them.
As for number one...
He looked back and saw that the corridor was empty. He didn't know if Number One was still there.
"I'm going down with them. You... take care of yourself."
After saying that, Number Two ran downstairs with the wolf cubs without looking back.
Although Number Five had nothing to do with him, Number Seven... his bloodline power might be complementary to his, and he needed Number Seven's help. Even putting that aside, as an ally, he couldn't just watch him being taken away and eaten by the monster.
The three children came to the corridor on the first floor, and the mumbling and laughter became clearer.
They walked cautiously in the direction where the sound came from. When they reached the end of the corridor, the three of them stopped and quietly looked towards the door of the hall.
The red mist face floating in the air was urging impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up! When will it be better?"
Luo Shengfei squatted on the ground, the toolbox on his back was already on the ground, and he opened it, and took out many tools -
Obviously, it is not so easy to open the door of the nursery hall without permission. It seems that Luo Shengfei is planning to directly tear down the door.
Not far behind him stood number five, while number six and number seven stood quietly behind her.
The little wolf cub was a little anxious. He turned around and looked at No. 2, and said with his eyes: Why don’t they run away?
Number Two shook his head. He didn't expect that in addition to Number Seven, Number Six was also taken away by the monster. His expression became more and more solemn.
He could also see that No. 6 and No. 7 must have been controlled, otherwise, with their personalities, it would be impossible for them to stay quiet. The same was probably true for the maintenance worker who was opening the door.
If they rushed out to save people now, would they also be controlled? Then they would not be saving people, but would be committing suicide together.
Although the little wolf cub didn't think too much about it, his fighting instinct told him that it was not a good time to rush out now. Moreover, when he looked at the conditions of No. 6 and No. 7, he always felt a sense of déjà vu.
Only Xiao Zhengxing knew that No. 6 and No. 7 were controlled by No. 5, and he heard everything the Red Mist Face said to No. 5 outside Door No. 2.
However, it is not a good idea to make any sound now, otherwise it will be easily exposed.
Little Zhengxing was not as anxious as the little wolf cubs. The world in his eyes was different from theirs, and he could "see" much more information than them.
So after some perception, he felt that he seemed to have found the key to solving the current dilemma.
Little Zhengxing squatted down on the spot, still holding his metal toy ball tightly. At this moment, a faint blue light appeared in the palm of his hand holding the metal ball, and then...
“Click—”
The metal ball turned very slightly.
The red mist face in the air stopped its irritable urging voice, as if it had noticed something.
Xiao Langze and No. 2 both noticed this and immediately became nervous.
Were they exposed?
Just as the two were about to retreat, and the face hidden in the red mist was about to look towards the little wolf cub and the others, an accident happened -
Suddenly, there was a noise coming from Luo Shengfei's open toolbox. Then, an ordinary-looking metal disc suddenly flew out from it and landed on the floor.
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the metal disc that suddenly flew out.
At the moment of landing, the white sensor light above the metal disc suddenly turned on automatically. At the same time, four mechanical legs extended from the bottom of the metal disc to support the entire metal disc.
Then, a voice that sounded a little simple, yet particularly gentle and warm, rang out from the metal disc.
"Hey! Good evening, babies! I'm Nanny Robot No. 4583 (Reinstalled Version). I'm happy to continue serving you, babies!"
Snap——
When this voice sounded, the painting that No. 5 had been holding in his hand fell to the ground with a slight sound.
