Zhou Jinze remained silent, sitting on the edge of the bed watching the cub's sleeping face.
The noise he made woke Lin Jue up. Lin Jue crawled out of his sleeping bag in a daze, looking left and right: "What happened? Why did I hear a thud? Are the monsters attacking?!"
Zhou Jinze glanced at him and said, "Keep your voice down."
Lin Jue followed his movements and saw the cub kicking its tentacles in its dream; her expression softened.
He whispered, "Look, the little guy's tentacles are really strong."
"You're really strong," she said, kicking Zhou Jinze off the bed.
Zhou Jinze did not agree, but his eyes still revealed the same kind of loving gaze as Lin Jue's.
"So cute..."
Zhou Jinze seconded the motion.
The two of them watched the cub sleep for hours, as if they never got tired of it, until dawn broke and the team members who were keeping watch outside rushed over.
"Captain Zhou!!! That anomaly...it...it got away!!!"
"run?"
If it has vitality, it wouldn't be surprising if the monster ran away.
But this time the anomaly is in an entire building! How are we supposed to get out of there?
Could it be that the team members were so frightened that they didn't explain clearly, and that the monster inside actually escaped?
Zhou Jinze disregarded everything else, picked up the cub and went out to check.
As it turned out, Lingtian Building really did disappear overnight.
The once towering Lingtian Building, which stood majestically in the city center, is now just a huge, deep crater.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly bewildered.
The others were still comforting each other: "Maybe our actions yesterday alerted the building. These anomalies might have some other movement capabilities, like traversing other dimensions or something."
This way it's not so abstract.
Only Zhou Jinze looked at the large pit, then at the cub. The cub sighed regretfully and gestured to Zhou Jinze, making a picture of a building growing four legs and running away.
The cub was heartbroken; all that delicious food was gone again.
Zhou Jinze remained silent.
He felt that he would never be able to take those abnormalities seriously again.
What if they were all alive and could grow legs and escape overnight?
And just how much can this little guy eat? He only nibbled on a couple of pieces of plaster, and the building vanished without a trace. I guess I've never encountered a creature that puts abnormalities on its diet before.
If Lingtian Building knew what Zhou Jinze was thinking, it would definitely cry and shout that it was wronged!
What if he encountered an apex predator, the master of chaos?
Even if it's only a little bit big, it could still completely swallow it up, right?!
Unfortunately, Zhou Jinze couldn't hear the helplessness and fear of Lingtian Building, while Qian Yuan, who could hear it, always thought it was just a hallucination caused by her illness and dismissed the evil ramblings that could drive a human mad.
Zhou Jinze held the cub and pinched its tentacles: "Unfortunately, you'll be hungry again."
Actually, there's no need for that. Being able to eat such a high-level abnormality is enough for Qianyuan to digest for a while. After all, her body size is different. It's better to let Qianyuan pay more attention to her emotional value. As long as she doesn't get sick, how could Qianyuan die?
Unfortunately, Qianyuan couldn't speak. He blinked and opened his mouth towards Zhou Jinze.
I don't know where this little guy got this habit of opening his mouth as if he wants to eat when he's hungry.
Zhou Jinze didn't care whether a cub needed to learn table manners or not, and he just formed a tacit understanding with the cub.
"I understand, you need to eat human food."
Zhou Jinze knew the little guy was just craving something, so he said, "I'll buy you a cake on the way back."
A cake!!!
It's something that Qianyuan has been craving since she was a child, but has rarely had the chance to eat.
Not only because his physical condition wouldn't allow it, but also because no one would buy it for him.
But now, he has people who are willing to buy him cakes.
Even though they weren't family and weren't even the same species, Zhou Jinze was still willing to take care of him, genuinely care about him, and cherish him.
Even though the world is terrible, Qianyuan couldn't help but smile until her eyes crinkled.
Actually, isn't the system Santa Claus who grants his wishes?
The system remained silent for a long time. After so many years of being heartless, this was the first time it had encountered Qian Yuan, a guy who could make its conscience ache a little.
"Poor thing."
The system, unusually, didn't say anything harsh, only offered a rare expression of sympathy.
Qianyuan is a good boy. He has seen the ugliness of others and suffered a lot of torment, but he is still willing to get close to others.
Just like a wandering vagabond, he was waiting for the God who would soften his heart.
Looking at the cub's bright smile, Zhou Jinze couldn't help but soften his expression: "You're happy just hearing that you're going to eat cake. What kind of greedy little monster are you?"
Although he said that, he actually drove back faster than anyone else.
The baby looked at the small, not-so-delicate cupcake, and the light in its eyes made everyone happy.
But at this moment, Zhou Jinze felt a little regretful.
He couldn't help but think that if he had the ability, and if Qian Yuan hadn't been born at this time, he could have eaten a better, more delicious cake.
He remembered that a little girl in his team used to love eating cakes. She would often buy a bunch of exquisite, ridiculously expensive cakes. She said that besides the delicious taste, she wanted to make up for her childhood.
So why couldn't Zhou Jinze be even more powerful, even more omnipotent, so that he could conjure up even more delicious cakes and fulfill all of his cub's wishes?
Such a fine cub deserves the very best.
Zhou Jinze was feeling guilty. He hadn't expected that after his son held the cake in his hands, the first thing he did was to present it to Zhou Jinze like a treasure.
The first bite of the cake that the cub likes should be given to its favorite human.
Zhou Jinze was immediately filled with mixed feelings.
He felt as if a hole had been punched in his heart, and all sorts of emotions surged out at once, which could be summed up as a bittersweet feeling.
Lin Jue, who had been following along, couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He watched as the little one fed Zhou Jinze a bite, and then he couldn't help but look longingly at Qian Yuan.
"Little one, won't you feed me a bite?"
The sweet taste in Zhou Jinze's mouth melted away, but his sarcastic tone remained unchanged: "How can an adult steal food from a cub?"
Lin Jue really didn't care about saving face; he just wanted the cub to get close to him too.
Unfortunately, Qianyuan wanted to treat everyone equally, but the cake was only the size of a palm. Giving Zhou Jinze a bite meant that half of it was gone.
After a moment's hesitation, Qian Yuan reluctantly handed the small paper umbrella from the cake to Lin Jue.
"Paper umbrellas..."
Lin Jue's tone still carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Zhou Jinze couldn't stand it anymore and said, "If you don't like it, change it back. The cub likes this little pink umbrella. He spent a long time choosing it."
"is that so?!"
Lin Jue held the small paper umbrella, looking as if he had won a prize, and was triumphant again.
