Chapter 24 Rabbit Boy
Yu An and Gu Ersheng looked at each other, and the confusion in their eyes was clearly visible. Of course they knew that there were monsters in the base, and the number of monsters was countless. Everyone was already accustomed to it. Why did this man look so scared?
Yu An lowered his head to look at his face. After identifying him, he confirmed that he had never seen this person in the base. He looked at Gu Ersheng, who shook his head, obviously not recognizing him either.
They grew up playing together in the base. There is very little turnover in the base and almost all the faces are familiar. Today is the first time they have met a stranger.
Yu An thought for a moment and guessed, "Are you a new researcher at the base?"
The boy did not answer and huddled in the corner.
Yu An was worried about scaring him, so he tried to speak softly, "Don't be afraid, are you lost? Which district are you from? We can help guide you back."
Upon hearing this, the man trembled even more violently, his face turned pale, and he reacted violently, "No! I won't go back! It's too scary here, the monsters will eat me..."
He was too excited and grabbed Yu An's hand with such strength that Yu An couldn't break free. He felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and his brows were furrowed in pain, with his face wrinkled.
Yu An bent down and pried his hands apart, only to see that his arms were covered with a layer of white hair, which did not look like sweat hair, but more like animal hair.
Has this person changed?
Yu An stared at the piece of white hair in a daze. The next second, Gu Ersheng decisively slapped the boy's hand away and pulled Yu An back away from this inexplicable guy.
Gu Ersheng's expression was cold, and he was in a hurry to leave. "A patrolling guard will come over soon. Let's ignore him. Uncle Rong is still waiting for us to bring him some fruit."
"Then let's go first."
Yu An pursed his lips, rubbed his red and painful wrist, stopped approaching the man, and picked up the small basket on the ground.
Knold stood on Yu An's shoulder, looked at the red mark on his wrist, shook his little tentacles, and looked at the boy with unfriendly eyes.
A weak rabbit actually dared to catch people. He should be skinned and eaten.
Yu An and Gu Ersheng ignored this inexplicable person and walked towards the elevator with the small basket. During this time, Yu An looked back at the boy many times, and the feeling of hunger surged up again.
[Soland, is he an alien or a mutant? ]
Yu An was unsure and asked Claude. Yu An had a general understanding of his own body. He had always had an appetite for alien species, but that man was so afraid of alien species that he seemed more like a human.
Yu An didn’t know that Solander had become a different person. He only knew that in recent years, “Solander” liked to sleep more and was almost unable to wake up every day. But he was particularly attached to him.
Every morning Solander would wake up briefly, crawl into his pocket, and then go back to sleep.
To take care of him, every piece of Yu An's clothes has pockets.
Claude did not correct him. Anyway, as long as Solander in the temple woke up and returned the body to Him, He could go back. It should... probably not take long.
Claude's voice was vague. [He's a mutated human. The alien species that infected him was a rabbit. Hmm... This rabbit is very delicious.]
The giant-eared rabbits wandering in the void are Usatos's favorite food. They are timid and like to drill around in space. They often bite a complete piece of space into holes on all sides. They are a space-related alien species.
The giant-eared rabbit is good in every way except that it has very little meat, not enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.
Yu Anduo looked at the boy for a few seconds. A rabbit? He really looked timid.
Perhaps because he often looked back, Xiaobai thought that he was very interested in this person, so he flapped his wings and flew over, circling the boy twice.
The scanner hidden in the pupil recognized the boy's face and searched the base's database, but found no results. It then switched to searching the resident information database.
Xiaobai leaned close to Yu An's ear and said, "My young master, his name is Zhou Xia. He is a junior high school student. On the way to class, a rabbit suddenly appeared and hit him on the head. He became a mutant and was then taken to the base."
That was really both lucky and unlucky, Yu An secretly complained. Many people tried every means to become mutants, but in the end failed and became zombies. Zhou Xia just got hit on the head by a rabbit and easily became a mutant.
"I remember now." Xiaobai reminded Gu Ersheng, and a light bulb went off in his head. "Yesterday, a new group of mutants arrived, but they were all sent to the mutation zone, which is quite far away from our testing area. So how did he get here?"
Yu An was vague, "Maybe that rabbit is from the space system."
Gu Ersheng nodded, "Maybe."
When he met the patrolling guard, Yu An pointed to the way they came and told him what happened to Zhou Xia. The guard's face became serious after hearing this and he asked his subordinates to send Zhou Xia back first.
Looking at the two children grunting as they carried the two baskets, he couldn't help but laugh, "Do you need me to help take you to Dr. Rong?"
Yu An tilted his head back and smiled gratefully, "No need, thank you uncle, we can do it, I won't disturb you from working."
Gu Ersheng lifted the basket and said, "It's okay. It's not heavy. We can do it ourselves."
The captain of the guards has been working at the base and has watched Yu An and the other children grow up, especially Yu An. When he came, the child was just over three years old. He was so small that he followed behind his father, timid and shy.
Five years have passed in a flash, and the little guy who used to hide behind his father's legs can now stand up bravely and interact with others.
The guard captain was overwhelmed with emotions, and felt a sense of pride that "my son has grown up". He rubbed Yu An's little head and said, "You've grown up..."
Yu An smiled at him, his round lake blue eyes curved into crescents.
The captain of the guards wanted to touch Gu Ersheng's head again, but Gu Ersheng's temper was not as good as Yu An's. He looked at the captain of the guards coldly, took a step back, and directly rejected his touch with his actions.
The guard captain withdrew his hand awkwardly, thinking that little An An was the cuter one. "Then you should go find Doctor Rong quickly, so he doesn't get too worried."
The fruits of the mutated plants in the botanical garden are more effective against alien species and can also heal damage caused by alien species. The base medical department has a great demand for the fruits.
When Yu An and Gu Ersheng arrived at the medical department, Rong Shili was treating the wound of a judge who had just returned from a mission. The wound had become ulcerated and inflamed, and was bleeding profusely.
Rong Shili was concentrating on dealing with the rotten meat, while Rong Chuyu stood beside him holding a tool tray.
She first noticed Yu An and Gu Ersheng. She handed the tray to her assistant and glanced at the fruits in the basket. "The number of [Reversal Fruits] this week is a bit low."
Yu An placed the fruit on the lab table. "There are only so many ripe ones on the tree. We searched for a long time before we found these."
The vines and trees in the botanical garden are intertwined, like an undeveloped primeval forest. The [Reversal Fruit] needs to be found deep inside, and the vines need to be appeased beforehand, otherwise the vines will beat you if you rashly take the fruit.
Yu An has an excellent affinity for plants and found the most [Reversal Fruits]. Gu Ersheng was second. The others would be whipped by the vines and scream before they could even get a few fruits.
Among them, Wu Yao suffered the most. As soon as he got close to the fruit-bearing area, vines would immediately hit him from a distance.
Therefore, the task of picking fruits was given to Yu An and Gu Ersheng.
Rong Chuyu checked the quality of the fruits and made sure they were not rotten or contaminated. He was about to take the fruits to the processing table when Gu Ersheng pressed down his basket.
"Let's make a deal." Gu Ersheng looked around the medical room. "Do you have any skulls here? Give me one."
Yu An and Rong Chuyu were both puzzled. Rong Chuyu's smile was almost gone. Finally, Yu An asked, "What do you want the skull for?"
"Scare my brother, he's most afraid of these things."
The brotherly relationship between Gu Yixing and Gu Ersheng is very delicate. They are inseparable from each other on weekdays, and they are ruthless when deliberately making fun of each other.
Yu An knew how scared Gu Yixing was of skeletons, so he thought for a moment and said, "You'll scare him to tears, and maybe even make him faint."
"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't fall."
Yu An: “…”
Rong Chuyu stared at Gu Ersheng with his dark eyes, "You can buy a replica online. Yihang is stupid, he can't tell the difference."
Gu Ersheng was stubborn, "I don't want fake ones, I just want the real ones."
"Taking bones from the infirmary is strictly prohibited and is a great disrespect to the deceased."
"Are you someone who follows these rules? Don't worry, I'll send it back after I scare my brother."
Rong Chuyu finally agreed. While her father was concentrating on treating the patient's wound, she waved to Yu An and Gu Ersheng, and the three of them secretly returned to Rong Chuyu's small room.
Rong Chuyu took out a skull from a cabinet and handed it to Gu Ersheng. "This is for you. You don't have to return it. This person was a rapist in his lifetime. I find it disgusting. You can smash it after you're done with it."
Gu Ersheng looked at the skull carefully and smiled with great satisfaction. "Thank you. I'll ask Yun Yan to perform a ritual to help him pass away later."
Yu An silently reminded, "Brother Ji is not a Taoist, he is a fake charlatan."
Ji Yunyan didn't know how to perform a salvation ritual at all. Although he was always holding a cross and looked a little nervous, he had actually never even read the Bible. Instead, his head was full of physics and Marx.
Gu Ersheng waved his hand, "That's fine. I guess smashing the skull with a cross is also a form of salvation."
Yu An: “…”
Because there was an extra skull in their arms, Yu An and Gu Ersheng returned to the botanical garden much faster. At the entrance of the botanical garden, Zhou Xia, who was originally curled up there, was nowhere to be seen. He must have been taken away by the guards.
Yu An stood at the door for a while and walked in before the door closed.
The botanical garden is full of lush greenery. The bright sunlight shines through the glass dome onto the emerald green leaves. The unripe [Reverse Fruit] appears light blue, and the small leaves at the end are in the shape of a heart.
Yu An stopped and stood quietly at the door, watching Gu Ersheng put his hands behind his back, holding the skull, and approaching the unconscious Gu Yixing.
Gu Ersheng smiled harmlessly, "Brother, I'm back~"
Gu Yixing was swinging on the swing. As a good brother, he of course wanted to give the other person a hug, so he pulled up his sleeves to cover the thing on his wrist and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Er Sheng~"
"One line~"
The twin brothers hugged each other and took out the "surprise" for each other at the same time.
"ah--!"
"ah--!"
Two screams echoed through the botanical garden. Yu An, already prepared, covered his ears and looked at Gu Ersheng in confusion. Wasn't he the one who went to scare Gu Yixing? Why was he screaming so miserably?
When Yu An walked closer, he saw a small green snake wrapped around Gu Yixing's wrist. The scream scared the little snake so much that it twisted its body and tried to run away.
But Gu Yixing held its tail tightly, and the little snake could not escape. It swung around in the air, and its head hit Gu Ersheng's face several times. Gu Ersheng was most afraid of snakes, so he closed his eyes and screamed even louder.
The two brothers hugged each other's necks, both frightened and subconsciously hugged each other tighter, so Gu Yixing was closer to the skull, and Gu Ersheng's face was pressed tightly against the snake's body, and he was so scared that he almost fainted.
Liang Xingsang and Wu Yao ran over when they heard the noise. Liang Xingsang was like a worried old woman, "Why are you guys trying to play a prank on each other again? Haven't you learned enough from your previous lesson?!"
Wu Yao burst into laughter and did not try to stop it. He happily took out his mobile phone to take pictures of this funny scene.
Xiaobai landed on his shoulder and also started the recording mode. Its black history database can be updated!
Seeing the two of them start to turn pale, as if they were about to faint from fright, Yu An hurried to help pull them apart, "Let go quickly, don't hold me so tightly..."
Unable to separate the two men, Yu An had to snatch the skull from Gu Ersheng's hand, and Liang Xingsang went to take the small snake from Gu Yixing's hand. It took him a long time to snatch it from them.
Without the scary things, Gu Yixing and Gu Ersheng gradually calmed down. They were still frightened, looked at each other, hugged each other, and said the same words, "I will never scare you again."
Yu An hugged the skull and sighed. He had heard this many times.
When Fu Yin returned, he saw the little guys lying on the ground listlessly, their former energy gone. He asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Wu Yao showed the recorded video directly to Fu Yin. Fu Yin laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and asked him to send the video to him. Fu Yin directly shared the video in the friend group chat for other friends to watch and have fun.
In the afternoon, Yu An followed Wen Xun home. Wen Xun talked about this matter with him, with a smile in his eyes, "...From this perspective, our An An is much more stable than your brother from the Gu family."
Yu An smiled with two dimples, and hugged Wen Xun's arm shyly, "Because I'm not afraid of skulls and snakes. If I encounter something scary, I will be scared and cry."
Wen Xun thought for a moment, but couldn't think of what Yu An was afraid of. "Then what is An An afraid of?"
Yu An thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid of thieves."
This answer was beyond Wen Xun's expectations. "Why?"
"They'll steal my glitters. I love glitters the most. If they were stolen, I'd be very sad."
The pile of sparkling gems and diamonds in the collection room are Yu An’s treasures. He can’t imagine the day without them, and life will lose its fun.
Just thinking about it like this, Yu An found it unacceptable and felt extremely anxious. He hurried home, ran up to the second floor, and pushed open the door of the collection room.
Yu An carefully counted all the jewels.
Suddenly, he heard a faint sound. He looked over and saw a man hiding stealthily beside the closet, holding his favorite emerald brooch in his hand.
"ah--!"
It's a thief!
