Chapter 73
Number Two...
Thinking of the cowardly "big cat" in the surveillance video, Su Ci couldn't help but feel itchy.
He used his spiritual sense to scan room number two and saw the Red Flame Tiger lying on the ground and snoring soundly. He reached out and rubbed the little wolf cub's head.
"Don't worry, he's fine."
Although the breeder was still the same as before, after what happened last night, Xiao Langze felt that his mood had changed a little.
For example, when the breeder rubbed his head, he no longer felt reluctant, and his big tail behind him began to swing involuntarily.
The little white deer looked a little envious.
He also wanted the breeder to rub his head, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud. He couldn't be like Xiao Langze - after seeing how strong the breeder was, he could still maintain the same intimate attitude as before when facing the breeder.
After all, the breeder is so strong...
When facing a strong person, he couldn't help but feel awe in his heart, even if the breeder was still as kind as before.
So does the keeper also have the blood of a ferocious beast? When it transforms into a beast, it has light golden eyes... What kind of animal could it be?
The little white deer was thinking.
Su Ci withdrew his hand, glanced at Number Five who was standing there, hesitating and not daring to come over, then turned his head and glanced at Number Six who was standing in front of the toy area.
When he looked over, the little monkey was obviously startled, then quickly turned around and pretended to be picking toys as if nothing had happened.
Even little Zhengxing shrank slightly when his eyes swept over him, like a frightened kitten, and the little hands holding the bamboo flute tightened instantly.
However, he did not dodge like No. 6.
Su Ci looked at the little brats and knew they were scared, but he didn't take the initiative to comfort them. Instead, he lowered his head and said to Xiao Langze and the others, "I'm busy. I'll teach you the flute this afternoon. You should practice well."
After saying that, he said hello to 4586 and went about his own business.
The little wolf cub looked at his back, opened his mouth slightly, and finally closed it, not daring to express his dissatisfaction.
Anyway...it's the same if we teach in the afternoon. The three of them can practice on their own first, the little boy thought with his ears drooping timidly.
At this moment, he felt someone pulling his clothes from behind.
Little Langze turned around and saw that Number Five had come behind him at some point and was grabbing the hem of his clothes with his little hands.
Because she had been crying so hard these past few days, her eyes were still slightly red and swollen. She tilted her head back and looked at him timidly, with a hint of dependence in her movements and attitude.
When her brother was away, apart from the nanny robot, only No. 8 was kind to her in the nursery. Plus, the little wolf cub seemed to have become more reliable in the past two days, so she couldn't help but treat him as a brother.
The thick-skinned wolf cub didn't notice the difference. He bent down slightly and asked the little girl, "Number Five, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
"My brother is in danger..." Number Five said, "Let's go save him... okay?"
The little wolf cub was stunned. "Number Four is in danger? What happened to him? Isn't he in the infirmary?"
Number Five shook her head. She didn't know what happened to her brother. She didn't even know where he was taken or what happened to him now.
Seeing that Number Five was hesitant and couldn't come up with any useful information for a long time, the little wolf cub couldn't help but scratch his head and asked, "So what do you want to do?"
Number Five stretched out his hand and pointed outside the door.
The wolf cub followed her finger and could only see the keeper slowly walking into the elevator. He lowered his head and looked at Number Five and said, "Do you want to tell the keeper to help us?"
Number Five nodded.
"Then why didn't you say anything when he was here just now?" Little Langze asked curiously.
Number Five lowered his head and whispered, "I'm scared..."
Not to mention her previous falling out with the breeder, she was the one who summoned the monster last night, and just now, in order to protect No. 4583, she used her ability on the breeder again...
She remembered the warning her breeder had given her on the day of the "breakup."
The little girl pouted and tears began to well up in her eyes again, looking very pitiful.
Seeing that she was about to cry again, little Langze was really worried. He quickly said, "Okay, I'm here. There's nothing to be afraid of. If you keep crying like this, you'll go blind!"
There were already obvious bruises under the little girl's eyes. He was really afraid that one day No. 5 would become like Little Star and lose her sight after crying so much.
I don't know why Xiao Xingxing lost her eyesight, and whether it can be cured in the future...
Number Five sniffed and tried hard to hold back the tears.
Little Langze scratched his head and said, "If Number Four is really in danger, then we can't wait any longer. We have to tell Susu as soon as possible."
Although the breeder will teach them to play the flute in the afternoon, Xiao Langze feels that saving people cannot be delayed. If time is wasted, the animals may not be saved.
At this time, the little white deer beside him finally spoke.
"You think, the breeder is so powerful, he must know everything we are talking about?" He made a reasonable guess.
However, the wolf cub shook his head and said very decisively: "Doesn't the breeder only become very fierce when he is woken up? Look at his eyes, they are black."
Just like when they are in a frenzy, they become much stronger than usual, but now when they are not in a frenzy, they can't be that strong.
Xiaolu Jiao frowned. He felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't help but be persuaded.
"Besides..." the little wolf cub continued, "Even if Susu really knew, he would need us to pay something before he would help us."
Xiao Lujiao blinked. He looked at the boy's determined expression and remembered that Xiao Langze had suddenly pulled the keeper out of his room. When they came back, the keeper had agreed to teach him how to play the flute...
So he looked at Xiao Langze and asked softly, "So, what did you pay for Susu to teach me to play the flute?"
Little wolf: “…”
He recalled the "painful" experience of having his tail touched by the breeder.
"No!" The young boy avoided his gaze and flatly denied it. "How could I possibly let Susu touch my tail? Susu was willing to teach you to play the flute because he...he thought you could learn it, so he taught you! That's how it is!"
Xiaolu Jiao: "..."
Number Five: “…”
Seeing the wolf cub still trying to convince him, Xiaolu Jiao nodded, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Langze was really easy to be tricked...
No, he told me everything before I even started.
Of course, he wouldn't laugh at him for being stupid anymore, because... Xiaolu Jiao felt very lucky to have such a friend.
"So how do we save Number Four now?" He took the initiative to change the subject with understanding.
The little wolf cub breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he saw 4586 facing them. He could not help but shut his mouth, then pulled Xiaolu Jiao and No. 5 to hide in the corner, next to Xiao Zhengxing.
Sensing another strange breath approaching, Xiao Zhengxing froze. After hesitating for a while, he stayed where he was. He didn't relax until the little wolf cub sat down beside him carelessly.
Little Langze was already plotting in a low voice: "To save Number Four, we still have to find Susu. Only Susu can help us."
Number Five looked at the wolf cub. Although she also felt that she should ask the keeper for help, she could clearly feel that the wolf cub's trust in the keeper was completely different from hers.
The breeder...can he really be trusted?
"Although Susu is out, he just told the little camel to wait for him in the front hall, so he shouldn't have left the nursery yet. We should go find him right away. There's still time!"
At this time, the little wolf cub showed his wisdom rarely.
"You're right." Xiaolu Jiao agreed. "Susu walks slowly. He probably hasn't reached the front hall yet. If we want to find him, we have to hurry."
He directly gave a plan, "I can help attract the attention of 4586. You run downstairs immediately."
The activity room is on the second floor, and running downstairs directly is actually not much slower than taking the elevator.
"However, if we leave the activity room without permission, Susu might be unhappy..." Xiaolu Jiao said hesitantly.
Little Langze shook his head, "No."
He couldn't explain why, but his instinct as a beast told him that the keeper wouldn't be angry about something like this.
"Well, that's good."
Since Xiao Langze said so, Xiao Lujiao was willing to believe him. "Then we should act without delay. I will attract 4586, and you two should leave immediately."
"Okay!" Little Langze responded.
Xiaolu Jiao looked at 4586 in the distance and was about to walk towards it, but after taking just two steps, he was stopped by No. 5 behind him.
Number Five looked at him. Since Number Seven was willing to help her save her brother, how could she not express her gratitude?
She whispered, "I'm sorry... last night... I... I will..."
Number Five wanted to say that she could compensate him later. However, after she finished speaking, she saw that Number Seven, who had been somewhat indifferent and wary of her, relaxed his expression slightly.
"Yeah, I know."
The silver-haired boy said, "I'll go first. We can deal with the others after we rescue Number Four."
Then he pulled away the hand of number five and ran towards 4586 in small steps. Number five looked at his back with a dazed expression. She actually didn't understand why number seven would help her?
If she was harmed by someone and was almost eaten by a monster, she would definitely not forgive that person easily, let alone help that person...
"Number Five, stop daydreaming. We have to hurry." Xiao Langze reminded.
He didn't know about the grudge between No. 5 and No. 7. Looking at the way they just talked, he felt very relieved. After all, this way, No. 7 would be able to integrate into their group smoothly in the future!
Xiaolu Jiao was very smart. Without saying a word, he led 4586 to the toy area.
Little Langze, who was waiting for an opportunity, hurriedly took No. 5 and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened when they walked away. Finally, when the time was right, they slipped out of the activity room together.
4586 didn't notice their little action, but Number 6, who caught a glimpse of this scene, raised his hand and pointed at them. Just as he was about to expose them loudly, he suddenly remembered something and silently lowered his voice.
"Number five and eight are out!" he said to the nanny robot.
4586 immediately put down the little deer Jiao who was trying to stop it, and was about to go to check, but the little Zhengxing in the corner had put down his bamboo flute and picked up his metal ball.
A faint blue light appeared under his little hand.
4586, which was moving quickly towards the door, suddenly stopped, turned back, and continued talking to the confused little deer Jiao.
Number Six was also confused. He said angrily, "Aren't you going to chase Number Five and Number Eight?"
"Wuwu and Baba are in the room." said 4586.
“…”
Number Six thought that the nanny robot might have gone crazy. After thinking about it, he also ran towards the door of the activity room. However, 4586 stopped him.
"Liuliu, it's activity time now. You have to play in the activity room."
Number Six was unconvinced and on the verge of losing his temper, but the terrifying figure from last night resurfaced in his mind...
He was furious, yet also scared from the bottom of his heart.
He felt suffocated by his frustration, and finally he could only utter a harsh word, "I don't care about you anymore!"
Then, he went to the corner and scratched the wall alone.
Xiaolu Jiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Xiao Zhengxing in the distance and smiled slightly.
Su Ci came to the front hall of the nursery and met up with Luo Shengfei who was waiting for him.
"Keeper Su, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Luo Shengfei said.
Captain Yan just sent him a message, asking him to go to the Operations Department. Captain Yan already knew that he was suspended for investigation and then canceled, so he met him to find out the situation.
Luo Shengfei is innocent, and the intelligent computer has ruled him not guilty, so he has nothing to worry about.
But Su Ci didn't let him go, "I have something to do, you can't leave yet."
Just as Luo Shengfei was about to ask for details, he saw three cans of beef in the young man's hand - this was the reward they had agreed upon.
He swallowed back his words immediately, along with the saliva that was gushing out.
Seeing that Su Ci did not give him the can immediately, but walked out of the nursery hall, he had no choice but to follow him, his eyes fixed on the can of beef in his hand.
Finally, they came to the back of the nursery building.
A Yan had been waiting for him here. When he saw Su Ci coming back, he was happy at first, but when he saw Luo Shengfei following behind him, he quickly shut up.
He followed Su Ci carefully without making any sound.
Su Ci had once again concealed that small piece of land with a trick, and even the remains of the giant spider were hidden by him.
So in Luo Shengfei's eyes, the yard of the nursery was still bare as before.
"Keeper Su, why did you bring me here?"
Su Ci pointed to the metal floor beneath his feet and said, "Is there any way to cut this metal?"
Luo Shengfei looked at the metal floor beneath his feet, then looked up at Su Ci and asked uncertainly, "You want to cut this metal? Why?"
Su Ci said calmly, "I want to open up a piece of land to grow things."
Hearing this, Luo Shengfei shook his head. "That won't work. The main purpose of laying metal floors, besides being aesthetically pleasing, is to defend against monsters invading the base from underground, and to isolate pollutants to the greatest extent possible."
"The soil also contains pollutants. Apart from the plantations, no one can successfully grow anything on Prison Star. Give up!"
Luo Shengfei thought Su Ci was being fanciful, but Su Ci didn't intend to waste any more words. He said bluntly: "I have submitted an application to Zhinao and it was approved."
"This...this is impossible, right?"
Luo Shengfei felt shocked. "How could the intelligent brain approve such an application?"
Yes, how could the intelligent computer possibly approve such an application? If there was a light screen in front of them now, six points would probably appear on it again.
But Su Ci said fearlessly: "It has been passed. If you don't believe it, you can ask."
Luo Shengfei had no choice but to call the base's intelligent brain and try to ask this question, and the answer he got was -
[Trainee Keeper Su Ci has been approved. Sergeant Luo Shengfei, please cooperate with Trainee Keeper Su Ci to clear a piece of land behind the nursery.]
Luo Shengfei couldn't believe his eyes, but this was indeed an order from the base's intelligent computer, and he had to obey it.
"Okay then..." he nodded.
So, under Su Ci's command, Luo Shengfei took out a small capsule from the toolbox and placed it on the ground far away. After he pressed the switch, the small capsule disappeared and turned directly into a machine.
He operated the machine, cutting and recycling the thick metal floor, revealing the soil underneath.
In the end, almost the entire yard behind the nursery building was opened up.
Su Ci stepped on the muddy ground and felt a special kind of joy.
Unlike the land he opened up the first time, the land he opened up this time did not contain any pollutants, or in other words, the resentment hidden in the land had been purified or expelled.
In Su Ci's mind, there emerged a scene where dozens of spirits bowed to him to express their gratitude.
It was last night, after he purified the black shadow, that the souls that were imprisoned in the black shadow had not dissipated.
That black shadow was actually not a specific creature.
Although Su Ci didn't quite remember what happened last night, he could guess from the image that the black shadow was probably a collection of countless vengeful spirits.
Those souls that have not dissipated are probably the lives that have been devoured by it. The souls of these lives have not been assimilated under the long-term erosion of resentment. They must have something or characteristics that can resist resentment.
When Su Ci performed the purification technique to completely purify and eliminate the resentment in the black shadow, the resentful spirit dissipated, and these precious souls were saved.
After being tortured for countless years, they were finally able to rest in peace. After expressing their gratitude to Su Ci, their soul power shattered into light points, merged into the earth of the nursery, and returned to the embrace of the earth once again.
The resentment that eroded the land was also purified and expelled by these precious soul powers.
However, the land that has been expelled of resentment still lacks fertility and needs time to recover.
But no matter what, this is a good start, and it also provides Su Ci with a good idea to restore vitality to the earth.
Luo Shengfei didn't know how to farm, so he couldn't see any difference between the reclaimed land and the land in the past.
He put away the machine, carefully put it back into the toolbox, and looked at Su Ci with a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself. But when Su Ci threw three cans of beef at him, he suddenly smiled.
"Hey, then I'll go first. I'll send it back to you after 4583 is modified!"
After saying this, Luo Shengfei left the nursery and didn't dare to stay here any longer - even though this matter had been approved by the intelligent computer, he still felt that it was not advisable to open up such a large piece of land in the base.
As soon as extreme weather comes, this land will definitely be in trouble!
He really couldn't understand why the base's intelligent computer would approve it, so for safety reasons, after reminding Su Ci a few words, he quickly slipped away.
Su Ci naturally wouldn't stop him. He looked at the piece of land in front of him, which was at least twenty times larger than before, and began to think about the next planting plan.
Is he going to plant them in different areas, or will he gather these spiritual seeds together and scatter them randomly?
While Su Ci was thinking, a light curtain suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Trainee Keeper Su Ci, surveillance footage shows that cubs number five and eight left the activity room without permission. Should we notify the action team and have them send assistance?]
Su Ci glanced at them, then looked away and said lazily, "No need, let these two little guys come over."
Obviously, just as Xiaolu Jiao thought, Su Ci knew everything about their conversation.
Then he said, "From now on, as long as I'm at the nursery, they can go wherever they want during the day. No one needs to stop them."
The reason for strictly controlling their time outside is to reduce accidental injuries caused by their blood frenzy, but this is not a big problem for Su Ci.
If he were like these cubs, only able to go out at specified times and under surveillance at all times, Su Ci estimated that his temper would not be very good either.
[Okay, got it.]
Just as the light curtain was about to disappear, Su Ci said, "Are you doing what I just ordered?"
[Executing]
Su Ci nodded, and he also had a preliminary idea about how to plant next. He looked at A Yan beside him. The child was holding three cans of spiritual water in his hands and was quietly waiting for his instructions.
"Ayan, go and plant these seeds." Su Ci said.
A Yan couldn't help but tilt his head, with confusion written in his dark red eyes.
How to plant it?
As a result, the young man smiled faintly and said, "Plant it however you want."
A Yan was immediately mesmerized by his smile. After a while, he came back to his senses and nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"
Then, the child carried the can of spiritual water and ran to the land where Xiao Lingya and the others were. He put the can of spiritual water aside, took out a small shovel from the space button, and started digging the soil.
Su Ci looked at his busy little figure and nodded with great satisfaction. At this time, the little wolf cub finally ran out of the nursery building carrying Number Five on his back.
They also heard the movement behind the building. When the little wolf cub ran over with Number Five on its back, they were stunned to see the exposed ground.
However, the little wolf cub quickly remembered the important matter. He put down No. 5 and hurriedly ran towards Su Ci.
Su Ci, watching the two little guys running over, nodded and said without waiting for them to speak: "I already know about number four. Come with me."
Seeing that the keeper was so straightforward, the little wolf cub, who was about to negotiate, was stunned.
This time...I don't have to touch the tail this time?
