Chapter 82
Looking at the little Zhengxing whose face was flushed, and then at the wolf cub next to him who also had a look of anticipation, A Yan couldn't help but pause.
It was difficult to refuse a child who was so enthusiastic about helping him, so he moved his fingers lightly and operated the communicator.
"Yes, sure."
After getting his consent, both children showed joy on their faces. Even Xiaolu Jiao was happy for his friend.
"Great! We can come out and play tomorrow too!"
The little wolf cub cheered out loud, but just as he said what he was thinking, he realized something and quickly changed his words, "Ah, no, I can come water the seedlings tomorrow!"
He felt guilty and his eyes were darting around, afraid that A Yan would think that he just wanted to go out and have fun, rather than really wanting to take care of Xiao Miao, and would not take him along.
Fortunately, A Yan didn't say anything to him.
"Then you should come here with Lu Jiao tomorrow at 7 o'clock sharp."
"Okay, okay!" Little Langze nodded, not forgetting to correct, "Lu Jiao's nickname is Yoyo, it's more convenient to call her Yoyo!"
A Yan glanced at the little white deer and saw that the little boy's eyes were also shining with anticipation, so he changed his tone: "Yeah, Yoyo."
The little white deer grinned, revealing a shy smile. He had a natural admiration and admiration for "Brother Ayan", who was knowledgeable and friendly.
If only Brother Ayan could teach him how to write!
As for Xiao Zhengxing, his performance just now seemed to have used up all his courage. After A Yan agreed, he hid behind Xiao Langze again and hid himself.
At this time, A Yan spoke again: "Then let's number these seedlings first."
He took out a can from the space button. This can was made of special materials. It was not only strong and wear-resistant, but also waterproof and high-temperature resistant. Most importantly, it could be cut with scissors.
As the first step in the future work, A Yan took out two pairs of scissors and asked Xiao Langze and Xiao Lujiao to cut the box into small squares.
Regarding sharp tools, both the nursery and the welfare home where the little white deer had stayed before have very strict control, so it was the first time for the two little guys to come into contact with scissors.
Watching the wolf cub pick up the scissors, A Yan said worriedly, "Tools are used to make work more convenient, not to hurt others."
Faced with his repeated emphasis and instructions, Xiao Lujiao nodded obediently, and Xiao Langze also nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
Only then did A Yan hand over the cutting work to them.
Being entrusted with such an important task for the first time, both little Langze and little Lujiao were very attentive. After quickly mastering the use of the scissors, they sat quietly on the muddy ground and cut the cans into small pieces.
Although Xiao Zhengxing couldn't do anything, he stayed obediently by the side and used his mental power to observe the work of his two friends.
And A Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at them for a while, then withdrew his attention and turned his gaze to the seedlings in the field.
Thinking of the bloody frost flowers last night, a hint of worry appeared on the child's face. He glanced at the three children, then disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already come to Su Ci's side.
The young man sat cross-legged beside the pool.
He half-closed his eyes, as if taking a nap, but his hands did not stop moving. The water in the pool disappeared and was filled again. Pieces of spider meat flew into it and were purified by soaking in the clear water.
Seeing the young man's tired and sleepy face, A Yan felt a little distressed.
He leaned over, tentatively stretched out his little hand, and touched the young man's cheek. Then he lowered the volume of the communicator and whispered, "Susu, why don't you take a break first?"
Su Ci, who was dozing off, opened his eyes drowsily.
He pulled down A Yan's hand that was stroking his cheek, held the child in his arms, rested his chin on the top of his head, and then rubbed the child's furry ears with his cheek, his behavior was intimate and natural.
He yawned and said, "It's just the last bit, it will be done soon."
A Yan obediently served as his pillow, and then talked about how he asked several children to help with farming.
Being so close, Su Su would definitely not be able to hide what he did.
Sure enough, Su Ci responded lightly and said lazily, "Just make the decision on these."
He originally intended to train the children in the nursery to become future helpers. After all, his soul power was very precious, and the inheritance from those old friends in the past were also good things. Since he gave it to them, they naturally had to give something in return.
It’s just farming, but it’s a good game for these energetic kids.
Hearing the young man's support for him, A Yan couldn't help but grin, revealing a soft smile on his face, without any trace of the calmness and restraint he had just shown when facing the wolf cubs.
"Well, I will teach them well." A Yan said seriously.
Su Ci couldn't help but touch the child's head. Perhaps it was because A Yan's voice was more mature, but he closed his eyes and listened to him speak. The image of A Yan that emerged in his mind vaguely turned into a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The boy smiled at him with his dark red eyes, looking frank and pure.
Strange, but surprisingly pleasing to the eye.
Su Ci couldn't help but open his eyes, lowering his gaze to look at the little girl in his arms, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Ayan...
Is it really a newborn spirit?
"Susu, can you teach me how to set up a spirit shield?" At this time, A Yan's voice sounded again, interrupting Su Ci's thoughts.
"Um?"
"Now that we have more seedlings to plant, the original spirit shield is not enough." A Yan expressed his concerns, "and we also need a formation that can maintain a constant temperature."
The spiritual shield can isolate the blood rain and blood frost, preventing the seedlings from being directly eroded by extreme weather, but it cannot regulate the temperature by itself.
We can use a thermostat when the temperature drops, but what should we do when the temperature rises? We don’t know when the next extreme weather event will occur, and what kind of weather it will be.
Now all of these have to be prepared in advance to be prepared for a rainy day.
Otherwise, if extreme weather occurs again, the seedlings of these common plants may not be able to withstand it.
A Yan expressed his thoughts, and he turned the volume down very low, just enough for Su Ci to hear clearly but not enough for him to find it noisy.
Su Ci narrowed her eyes again and rested her chin on his head.
Compared to the first time we met, A Yan has grown a lot. As time goes by, he reveals his own personality day by day. He is smart, serious, careful and steady.
Su Ci could actually sense it as well.
A Yan, doesn't seem like a real child.
He himself had experienced the stage of being born, and his ignorant spirit was not like A Yan.
But, so what?
Su Ci folded his arms, rubbed his cheek against A Yan's furry ears, and squinted his eyes comfortably.
No matter what his past is, A Yan is A Yan, and this will not change because of anything.
"Apart from the spirit shield and the formation, do you have any other ideas?" He waited for A Yan to finish speaking before speaking slowly.
Other ideas...
A Yan thought for a moment, then said, "Can we build a greenhouse like a plantation?"
This seems to be a more permanent solution, because there are various monitoring equipment in the greenhouse. Temperature regulation is the most basic, and it can also shelter from wind and rain and cope with various types of extreme weather.
"Um."
Su Ci responded lightly, then said, "I know about this matter. I will find a way."
"good."
A Yan calmed down and let Su Ci hold him obediently until the wolf cubs finished cutting the labels. Then he carefully stepped out of Su Ci's arms and appeared in front of the children again.
"Brother Ayan, we've finished cutting. What should we do next?" Little White Deer neatly arranged the folded labels and asked.
A Yan took out a pen from the space button and began to write numbers on paper. Then he inserted the written labels next to each seedling.
There were a total of thirty-six ordinary plant seedlings, so A Yan divided them into three equal parts and assigned them to the three of them. As for the two small spiritual sprouts and the star chain fruit vine, A Yan was responsible for them himself.
Because of this distribution, a sense of responsibility arose in the hearts of the three children.
This was something they had never felt before.
Starting tomorrow, they will be responsible for these seedlings! Any small mistake on their part could lead to the death of these fragile little lives, so they must be extra careful!
And Ayan also proposed a reward mechanism without any guidance.
"Whoever takes care of the best growing seedlings will get a delicious treat," A Yan said. "I made it myself."
Although he didn't have the ingredients yet - the spider meat was all for Susu to eat, and he didn't think he could use the meat as a reward, but there was still time, and he could think of another way.
Such encouragement will naturally have the greatest effect on the little wolf cubs.
He cheered and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ayan, I will definitely work hard to make the seedlings grow up quickly!"
A Yan nodded with satisfaction.
There was still time left, but the little wolf cub unexpectedly didn't use it to play. He ran to Su Ci happily and was about to speak when he saw the young man dozing with his eyes closed. He hurriedly covered his mouth.
Su Ci didn't really fall asleep.
He had already noticed the young boy when he ran over. He didn't open his eyes to look at him, but just said slowly: "What's the matter?"
Little Langze's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Susu, I've thought of the homework you left for me!"
"Oh?" Su Ci finally opened his eyes.
"It's the rules, right?" Little Langze said, "You took advantage of the base's rules so you didn't have to fight and just got those people to send Number Four out, right?"
Su Ci showed an approving look, "Yeah."
"So what is the rule?" Little Langze asked curiously.
Su Ci said softly, "Without the breeder's permission, no one else can take the cubs away from the nursery."
Little Langze looked at him in a daze.
Noticing the young boy's gaze, Su Ci paused, "What's wrong?"
Little Langze came back to his senses and shook his head subconsciously. He didn't know why, but when he heard the breeder say this, a strange emotion inexplicably surged in his heart, as if... he was being protected and felt very safe.
This emotion was unfamiliar to the wolf cub, but he found that he quite liked the feeling.
"So can you continue teaching me to play the flute?" Little Langze took out his bamboo flute from his back and said to Su Ci with a somewhat flattering smile on his face.
Given Xiao Langze's personality, he actually finds it difficult to stand loneliness. However, in learning to play the flute, he showed enough persistence and perseverance.
In this regard, even Xiaolu Jiao cannot compare to him.
Su Ci did not refuse either.
So, Xiao Lujiao and Xiao Zhengxing also gathered around and listened to Su Ci's lectures and corrections of some mistakes they made during practice.
It has to be said that Xiao Langze is indeed very talented in sound cultivation, and his progress can almost be described as rapid.
Perhaps after practicing for a while longer, he would be able to play a complete tune.
It was not until that evening that Su Ci cleaned all the spider leg meat. As for the giant spider's body, he decided to wait until the next day.
By the time he finished his work, A Yan had already prepared another sumptuous dinner, which comforted Su Ci's tired spirit.
After eating and drinking, he simply washed up and went back to his bedroom to fall asleep.
Now A Yan's body has recovered a lot and he no longer needs to use his soul power to nourish it every day. After a tiring day today, Su Ci needs a good sleep to restore his energy.
A Yan obediently served as his pillow. After Su Ci fell into a deep sleep, he quietly returned to the living room, sat in front of his small table, took out paper and pen, and continued his study of the formation.
As for the other cubs in the nursery...
Number Two hadn't woken up yet, and Numbers Four and Five had been sleeping since returning to the nursery. As for the three excited little wolf cubs, they tried hard not to make any noise after dark.
The brooding area was completely quiet.
A Yan lay on his small table, recalling what he had learned from observing the Water Purification Array and the Spirit Gathering Array today, and wrote carefully on the paper.
He was alone in the living room, making him look a little lonely. However, A Yan did not feel lonely. He knew that Su Su was sleeping in the bedroom, and just thinking about it made him feel at ease.
At this moment, he suddenly paused and looked up at the door.
A Yan hesitated for a moment, but still quickly moved to the door and pressed the manual switch beside it.
The metal door slowly opened, and a small figure appeared in his sight—it was the little monkey with light golden hair.
It squatted at the door, as if frightened by the suddenly opened metal door. It turned around and was about to run away, but when it saw A Yan, its expression calmed down again.
"What are you doing here?" A Yan turned the volume of the communication bracelet to the lowest level and asked it in a low voice.
Perhaps because the little monkey didn't expect A Yan to be able to speak, his big round eyes widened even wider, like two black grapes, embedded in his pink and white face, looking particularly watery.
In response to A Yan's question, the little monkey raised his hands high and showed A Yan what he had in his hands.
Only then did A Yan realize that it was holding a handful of seeds in its hand. Judging from the shape and color, they should be star chain fruits.
"Are you here to deliver seeds?" A Yan asked.
The little golden monkey nodded.
A Yan looked at the corridor outside. It seemed that after last night, the concentration of pollutants in the air of the nursery had dropped significantly.
However, it is still not as comfortable and clean as the dormitory that Su Ci personally arranged.
A Yan hesitated for a moment, then said to the little monkey, "Come in, but don't make any noise. Don't disturb Su Su."
The little monkey, who was about to clap his hands when he agreed to let it in, suddenly froze. It looked in the direction of the bedroom with a little fear, then tiptoed and walked in cautiously from outside the door.
A Yan went to get an empty can, filled it with spiritual water, and asked the little monkey to throw all the seeds into it.
There are at least hundreds of seeds in this huge pile, and I don’t know where this little monkey collected them from.
The seeds are floating in the spiritual water. Under the stimulation of the weak spiritual energy, I believe that by tomorrow, a new batch of seeds will break through the skin and sprout.
A Yan put the can of spiritual water away and looked at the little monkey who was squatting on the floor obediently, looking around with his big round eyes.
It’s hard to imagine that such a cute and quiet little monkey could be Number Six - or perhaps Number Six is missing this part, which is why he is so noisy.
A Yan recalled the information about Number Six.
He felt that this should be the ability of Number Six - last night when Number Six was swept away by the giant spider, the little monkey appeared in time, exchanged positions with Number Six in the blink of an eye, and saved Number Six.
"So, your ability is the art of clones?" A Yan asked in a low voice.
The little monkey looked at him blankly.
Knowing that he couldn't get any answers from it, A Yan stopped talking, took a cup and poured it a glass of spiritual water, then he sat down at the table and began his formation practice.
The little monkey held the cup of water, lowered its head and took a sip tentatively. After tasting the clean water full of spiritual energy, its eyes suddenly became bright.
Knowing that the water was good for him, the little monkey squatted down and drank from the cup one sip after another.
However, despite this, it drank the water slowly, just like when it ate the fruit, with concentration and seriousness, and an indescribable elegance.
After a long time, the little monkey finally drank up the spiritual water in the cup.
It smacked its lips, looked around, then held the cup with both hands and placed it carefully on the coffee table. During this process, it did not make any sound.
Even when the cup touched the coffee table, the little monkey looked towards the bedroom. After making sure that the keeper was not woken up, he continued to put the cup down and slowly pushed it inside to make sure it would not fall.
After doing all this, the little monkey turned his head and looked curiously at the child who was writing.
It looked at the two furry ears on the child's head, reached out and scratched its own head, and then walked around the room again.
The little monkey's eyes were full of curiosity, and everything he saw seemed new, but he did not move his hands or feet. He just put his face closer and looked with his eyes.
Finally, after walking around, it returned to A Yan.
Ayan sensed its arrival.
He lowered his head slightly and saw the little monkey's long tail hooked on the table leg, climbing up the table and finally jumping onto his table top.
The young monkey was very small and when it squatted on the table, it occupied a very small corner.
A Yan didn't move, but watched it with his eyes to see what it wanted to do.
The little monkey first came closer and took a look at his notebook, then quickly looked away with disinterest. After wandering around the small table, it finally settled down on A Yan's left hand side.
It curled up into a small ball, hugged its knees, and then rested its furry head on A Yan's little hand. After yawning delicately, it closed its eyes.
Seeing it sleeping next to his hand, A Yan didn't chase it away. Instead, he stretched out his fingers and rubbed its little head.
Looking at the little monkey that was born not long ago, its fur is fine and soft. It is not that thick when it grows, but it feels softer to the touch. People unconsciously reduce their strength and even slow down their breathing.
Feeling A Yan's touch, the little monkey rubbed against his hand, then continued to close its eyes. Soon its breathing became even, and it fell into a sound sleep.
A Yan couldn't help but feel a little curious when he saw it sleeping so peacefully.
This little monkey is not afraid of strangers at all.
In this world, besides Susu, there is also this little monkey who can see him. On such a quiet and comfortable night, he feels more and more comfortable in his heart.
He curled the corners of his lips slightly, then perked up again.
With the company of the little monkey, A Yan was no longer distracted. He lowered his head and continued to ponder the formation structure on the paper, outlining the new form stroke by stroke.
The night gradually deepened.
Base 24 once again spent a peaceful night.
The next morning, after the little wolf cub had breakfast, he couldn't wait to ask 4586 to go out.
"I'm going to the yard to water the seedlings. Susu agreed!"
4586 naturally did not stop him.
As soon as the door opened, the young boy rushed out in a hurry, "Yo yo, let's go water the seedlings together!"
When he passed by Xiaolu Jiao's room, he knocked hard on his door, then rushed to the stairwell without stopping and ran quickly to the fourth floor.
I originally wanted to call Xiao Zhengxing, but ended up running into Xiao Bailu in front of the door of room number two.
"Hey, you're up so early!"
Little Langze helped the little deer Jiao up. The little white deer he knocked down didn't get angry. He dusted himself off and stood up, then greeted him, "Good morning, Langze."
"Are you here to look for stars?" said little Langze.
Xiaolujiao paused and looked towards Room No. 2.
In fact, he came to find number two.
He was a little worried about No. 2's situation, but after returning to the room yesterday, it was already dark and he couldn't go out again, so he waited until today.
But when he really arrived at the door of No. 2's room, he couldn't help but hesitate - after all, he and Langze had become good friends now, and he really didn't know how to face No. 2.
At this moment, in room number two.
When 4586 brought in breakfast, the red-haired boy had already woken up.
After a day and a night of coma, his animalistic features still did not fade away. Except for the ears on his head and the tail behind him, most of the reddish-brown striped hair had not faded.
Fortunately, after changing into the new clothes prepared for him by 4586, the hair was barely covered up, and only the hair on his neck and hands was noticeable.
Number Two could no longer recall what happened after he was fully transformed. He only remembered being trapped in a sea of fire. Just as he was about to be completely engulfed by the crimson flames, the voice that had once helped him appeared again...
This time, No. 2 has determined who the owner of the voice is.
Apart from the new breeder, there is probably no one else.
However, No. 2 is also very aware of his current physical condition. He may enter a complete beast state at any time, and his situation is still dangerous.
Now there are two paths before him.
One was to follow the original plan and continue to find ways to escape from Base 24, survive in the red fog, and live with the monsters. The other way...
Ask new keepers for help.
Since he was able to save him from the brink of losing control twice, he should have a way to help him maintain his sanity, right?
Although his original intention of escaping from Base 24 has not changed, it would be a better choice for him if he could maintain his sanity and completely master the power of his bloodline!
But how can he get the new breeder to agree to help him?
Such a favor...
Is it enough to just touch his tail?
