Chapter 48
Yu An yawned in the mist and rubbed his eyes. The sleepiness after eating made him want to go home and sleep. He didn't know if Brother Xingcheng was waiting for him to come home.
"People have been sent over from the base, so you might be in trouble now and can't leave for the time being."
Xu Ye Ning's words drew Yu An's attention back. Yu An's eyes widened slightly. Why did the base send someone here? Why couldn't Brother Zhou Xia leave?
Fu Yunshu held Yu An's arm, met his puzzled gaze, and patiently explained, "The base strictly prohibits people with special abilities from maliciously harming ordinary people. The research institute must have known about Zhou Xia's situation."
As for what kind of punishment the base will impose on Zhou Xia, no one knows at the moment.
Yu An asked worriedly, "Will the uncles and aunts in the research institute beat Brother Zhou Xia?"
He had followed Wen Xun to the research institute since he was a child, and could be said to have grown up there. He knew many grandparents, uncles and aunts in the institute.
In Yu An's eyes, they were all very good because they would often feed him snacks and secretly take him out to play.
But when uncles and aunts are angry, they will also have stern faces and be fierce. Yu An feels that the most fierce thing they can do is spank a child.
Fu Yunshu was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed, his lips pursed, and he looked at Yu An hesitantly, wondering how he should tell this little guy that the people in the research institute would kill people.
"elder brother……?"
Yu An couldn't help feeling anxious and tugged at Fu Yunshu's sleeve, anticipating his answer. At this moment, Gu Ersheng sighed and pulled Yu An in front of him.
"First of all, don't be afraid." Gu Ersheng raised his index finger with a serious expression. After Yu An nodded, he told him, "According to convention, anyone who violates the institute's peace code will be sentenced to death."
Gu Ersheng glanced at Zhou Xia and said sympathetically, "So, Zhou Xia is most likely dead."
Yu An's head buzzed and his eyes widened like a frightened hamster. He held his hands in his pockets for a long time without reacting, immersed in shock and unable to recover.
A little rabbit that was approaching quietly pricked up its ears. After overhearing the news, it jumped to Rabbit No. 1 and told it the secret in a babble. Rabbit No. 1 was so scared that its ears pricked up, which was very similar to Yu An's reaction.
Yu An grabbed Gu Ersheng's hand in panic, almost crying, "Can't you not kill Brother Zhou Xia?"
"The rules are there, and there's nothing we can do. We're just kids." Gu Ersheng spread his hands, but he suddenly thought of something and whispered in Yu An's ear, "But you can go ask your father for help. They will definitely find a way."
Given Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen's status in the research institute, it is not difficult to protect someone. It depends on whether they are willing to do so.
Yu An was impatient, "Then I'll go find Dad."
After saying that, he ran out of the classroom with his short legs. Yu An was so anxious that he almost rushed forward, but after running a few steps, his feet suddenly hung in the air.
A solemn and old voice came from above, "Why are you so reckless? Is this how Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen taught you?"
Yu An looked up blankly. The middle-aged man who was holding him by the back of his collar had gray hair and a furrowed brow. Every wrinkle on his face revealed an air of majesty. He looked so ferocious that he could scare a child to tears at a glance.
Yu Anxin shuddered, "Grandpa Zhuang... Grandpa Zhuang."
Zhuang Yexing, one of the senior A-level psychics, a senior judge, is also the person Yu An fears the most in the research institute, no doubt about it.
Unlike other kind and friendly elders, Zhuang Yexing is the person that children fear the most because of his intimidating face and occasional scolding.
Even though Yu An was usually the most well-behaved child, he was often scolded by the other party.
Zhuang Yexing held Yu An as if he were a chick. His thick eyebrows were furrowed as he carefully examined Yu An's body, making sure there were no external injuries before putting him down.
Under his gaze, Yu An subconsciously stood straight, with his hands placed neatly on the crotch of his trousers, his eyes determined, as if he could wave his little fists and hit the enemy's knees on the battlefield at any time.
"Well, that's what boys should be like." Zhuang Yexing was very satisfied. He stretched out his hand and pinched Yu An's arm, and his eyebrows, which had just relaxed, gathered again. "Where are your muscles?"
Yu An lowered his head guiltily, "Dad said I should grow some flesh, soft flesh. With more flesh, I'll naturally have muscles..."
Zhuang Yexing obviously disagreed with this statement, but looking at Yu An's thin and small appearance, it seemed unrealistic to ask him to build a muscular body in a short time, so he simply let him go.
"Where were you going?"
Yu An lowered his head and said, "Go find my dad."
Zhuang Yexing glanced at everyone present, focusing on Xu Yening, who nodded to him politely.
Zhuang Yexing immediately rolled his eyes. Don’t think he doesn’t know that this kid is up to no good. It must be this kid’s intention to ask Yu An to find Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen.
Zhuang Yexing: "You are not allowed to go. I will take you back later."
Yu An looked up at him, weighed the gap between them, and knew that resistance was futile, so he returned to his friends dejectedly.
After Zhuang Yexing arrived, the classroom fell into deathly silence. The giant-eared rabbits sensed the threat from him and huddled timidly at Zhou Xia's feet, leaving balls of snow-white fur all over the floor.
Rabbit No. 1 swung its ears and hit the rabbit next to it. The rabbit looked up in a daze. Rabbit No. 1 jumped twice and whispered a few words into the ear of its companion. The companion immediately approached Rabbit No. 1. At the same time, the other rabbits also approached Rabbit No. 1.
The scattered snowballs formed a whole mass.
Yu An saw everything they did, but he had no idea what they wanted to do.
"Master Xu, long time no see." Zhuang Yexing looked at Xu Ye Ning with scrutiny and a mocking tone, "I thought you weren't planning on coming back and wanted to work for those foreigners. You were living such a carefree life out there, so why are you willing to return home now?"
Xu Ye Ning put on a hypocritical smile, "Of course I came back because I missed home. Why? Uncle Zhuang has the final say at the research institute now. Do I need to report back to you when I come back?"
Zhuang Yexing was furious. "Xu Yening, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xu Ye Ning spread his hands innocently, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhuang. After all, I just returned to China and don't know much about the situation in the institute. You won't blame me, right?"
"Also, you're old now, so don't be so alarmed. A heart attack wouldn't be good for you. If you don't take care of your own health, you should also pay attention to the children here."
Xu Ye Ning chuckled, pointed at Yu An and the others, and said sincerely, "If you die here and leave a psychological trauma on the children, it will be a real sin. Can you die peacefully?"
Zhuang Yexing: “…”
He couldn't win the argument, even if he got red in the face and thick neck, he could never win the argument against that bastard Xu Ye Ning.
Yu An stared in astonishment at Xu Ye Ning's steady performance, gaining a new understanding of his combat effectiveness. So this was the art of speaking? It was a bit terrifying.
As he was speaking, Zhuang Yexing suddenly turned around and glared at the young man beside him. It was because of this that Yu An suddenly realized that there was another person beside him.
He was a young boy with a delicate appearance. Yu An had never seen him before. He looked at his face for a while, then looked at Fu Yunshu.
He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but this person looked a bit like Brother Yun Shu.
Fu Yunshu looked at the boy, "My younger brother, Fu Yu."
"Fu Yu..." Yu An murmured. The name sounded familiar, but he was sure he had never seen the other person before.
Gu Yixing saw what he was thinking at a glance and put his hand on his shoulder, "Forgot? The guy who bullied Zhou Xia in the cafeteria last time was Fu Yu's little brother."
Yu An suddenly remembered, "It's him."
Judging from his appearance alone, Fu Yu is a well-behaved and sensible child with a friendly smile on his face. He even smiled at Yu An when he looked over.
Gu Yixing snorted and warned Yu An, "Don't be fooled by this kid's appearance. He's actually even worse than his brother. Don't be fooled by him."
Fu Yunshu glanced at him quietly and had already decided that his next birthday gift would be a complete human skeleton.
Gu Yixing suddenly felt an ominous premonition and looked around for the source, finally landing on Zhuang Yexing. It must be this old man cursing him in his heart!
Unfortunately, Zhuang Yexing couldn't even spare him a glance. He stared at Xu Yening and Zhou Xia beside him, and waved his hand, "Alright, I don't want to argue with you anymore. Leave the child next to you to me."
Xu Ye Ning: "That won't work. I'm the principal. I can't let you take students away without the parents' permission."
"That was done privately?!" Zhuang Yexing puffed his beard and glared, "It was you, a good student, who broke the rules, so the institute sent me to execute him. You should be aware of that!"
Xu Ye Ning turned his head and said, "I don't know."
"you!"
Zhuang Yexing was so angry that he almost died. He clenched his fists and his bones creaked. He wanted to beat Xu Yening up, but he still had some rationality.
Xu Ye Ning has a special identity. He is the heir of the Xu family and an S-level mutant. In terms of identity alone, Zhuang Yexing cannot compare to him, so naturally he has no way to use his identity to suppress him.
Zhuang Yexing's eyes were gloomy. "So, you're going to openly defy the institute?"
"Don't put such a big hat on me." Xu Ye Ning sighed, "First, tell me, how is the institute going to deal with Zhou Xia?"
"Of course he will kill without mercy. He attacked ordinary people, which is an unforgivable crime."
Zhou Xia shuddered, and there was uncontrollable fear in his eyes as he looked at Zhuang Yexing.
Xu Ye Ning frowned, "But those ordinary people were not harmed. Killing Zhou Xia... is too much of an exaggeration."
Indeed, what he wanted to say was that it was unreasonable.
Zhuang Yexing: "I'm just responsible for doing it. If you have any opinions, please go and raise them with the higher-ups."
While Xu Ye Ning and Zhuang Ye Xing were confronting each other, the rabbits gathered together secretly and bit the space under their feet, forming a hole big enough for an adult to crawl through.
Yu An was really curious about what these rabbits were doing, so he tiptoed over to them. However, they were all busy fiddling with their heads, and their overly fluffy fur was huddled together, so Yu An couldn't see anything.
[Boo-hoo! Done!] Bunny yelled with a sense of accomplishment, and the other rabbits also whimpered happily.
Yu An asked curiously, "What was accomplished?"
[Our rabbit hole...] Tuyao answered naturally. After he came to his senses, he jumped up in shock and looked at Yu An as if he had seen a ghost.
Yes, there is another alien little traitor here!
But it was too late. Yu An had already seen the black hole on the ground. It was pitch black and filled with chaotic spatial turbulence. He could faintly hear the crackling sound of electricity inside.
The next second, the skeleton's claws stretched out from inside and pressed on the ground. A huge bird head with an owl face popped out, but half of its face was covered with feathers and the other half was deep white bones.
The rabbits around it scattered.
【Oh, this bad guy is here again! 】
[It actually used our rabbit hole, ugh! ugh! ]
【Oh, I'm going to be eaten. 】
[I’ll never dig a hole again in my next life…]
【……】
Yu An also exclaimed and stepped back repeatedly, but he was not very scared. At most, he thought that this alien species was very unattractive in appearance.
Zhou Yi stood in front of him, growling in his throat in an attempt to intimidate the bird-like alien. Xiao Bai also flew out to scan the alien's entire body and told Yu An, "There is no record of this alien in the database."
Claude leisurely poked his head out and offered his assessment, "This ugly thing is quite unpalatable, and there's not much meat on it."
In short, it’s not on Usatos’s menu.
Apart from Yu An, the first person to notice the bird-shaped alien was the restless Gu Yixing. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, making sure it was not his hallucination, and then made a sharp explosion.
“Ah ...
Yu An, who was closest to him, was almost deafened. Gu Yixing's shout attracted the attention of the adults. Xu Ye Ning's breath was choked, and he grabbed Yu An and Gu Yixing over.
Xu Ye Ning's breathing was unstable. "Don't you two know how to run?! Are you trying to give it dessert by staying so close?!"
Yu An looked at Xu Ye Ning's worried eyes and said, "I'm sorry...I won't do it again next time."
Zhuang Yexing also pulled the other children to his side and looked at the alien species solemnly. "What kind of species is this? It's actually A-level. Why didn't you report its existence to the research institute before?"
Xu Ye Ning took a deep breath. "If I had known this earlier, would I still be here? Do I need you to tell me that? You must be getting old and confused."
Zhuang Yexing looked embarrassed, knowing he was talking nonsense. "It's okay, it's just an A-level alien..."
Before he could finish his words, the bird-like alien raised its head and screamed. Before anyone could react, a gigantic whale swallowed the bird-like alien in two bites. Its huge body got stuck in the rabbit hole, expanding the hole to half the size of a classroom.
A powerful spiritual magnetic field enveloped them, and those of lower levels were the first to fall to the ground as their legs went weak.
Zhuang Yexing's voice was unsteady, "This one is at least S-rank or above..."
But then, the whale's bulky body fell rapidly and soon disappeared. Just when everyone was relieved, a huge human-like head appeared, and a twitching whale tail was exposed in its mouth.
Zhuang Yexing's hands were shaking: "This one... this one..."
Xu Ye Ning covered his mouth with her hand and collapsed, "I beg you to stop talking. You're going to ruin the entire food chain."
