Zhou Jinze then pointed the gun at him again.
Qianyuan was actually a little scared.
He seemed to have no recollection of what he had just done, nor any concept of his own strength, genuinely believing that Zhou Jinze's gun could kill him with a single burst.
He also felt a little wronged.
Even though he didn't know why he had become like this, Zhou Jinze looked at him warily, as if he were looking at a heretic.
He clearly hasn't done anything to harm humans.
The octopus larvae were soaking in the water, and tears were starting to well up in their eyes again.
However, while the baby octopuses used to be cute when they cried, the current juveniles just look pitiful when they cry.
Large tears fell in a steady stream from the cub's misty blue eyes, making Zhou Jinze's hands tremble.
To others, this scene would appear to be 100% an adult man bullying a child.
Zhou Jinze frowned again. He always frowned, which made him look fierce. Even with his handsome face, he still made people feel scared.
The octopus seedlings cried even harder.
Zhou Jinze's hand remained still.
Only he knew that the moment he saw C-036 crying, he had already lost the strength to pull the trigger.
How could he possibly be soft-hearted?
He is humanity's last line of defense; he must always be clear-headed and rational, yet now he feels compassion for a monster cub.
He cannot afford to fail again.
Zhou Jinze withdrew his hand and said to his fully armed companions who had rushed in, "C-036 has mutated and is suspected of resembling a human in appearance, but so far, it has not shown any aggressiveness."
“However,” he paused, then added, “the shape also seems to have a deceptive ability, making people lower their guard.”
"I'll leave the detention to you now."
Someone walked over and pulled Chiyuki out of the bathtub, at which point the cub's entire body was exposed to the people.
Qianyuan's upper body was that of a human cub, but it gradually transformed into a blue octopus tail at the waist. Its short, chubby tentacles were curled up, making it look like a docile kitten being held by the scruff of its neck. It was not as eerie or frightening as other evolved monsters.
What's more, he's still reaching out his hand and looking in Zhou Jinze's direction, crying and babbling as if he were truly a cub crying and wailing after being separated from his guardian.
Others had already looked away, unable to bear it any longer.
But even as they carried Qianyuan past Zhou Jinze, Zhou Jinze didn't even glance at her, as if the feeding of Qianyuan over the past two days had never happened.
He truly is a heartless researcher.
Even the tiny hand that had been tugging at his clothes eventually lost its strength and was pulled away.
Only when the door slammed shut with a "bang," leaving Zhou Jinze alone in the room, did he casually lower his hand and wipe the corner of his clothes.
The hem of the garment still retained a soft, warm touch, but it quickly disappeared.
...
The taken-away Chiyuki eventually ended up in a larger, more proper containment tank.
However, the little guy was very listless after the change of living environment. He didn't eat for the next few meals. He just closed his eyes and curled up in a ball. His little shoulders shrugged from time to time. It was clear that he hadn't been sad yet.
"To be honest, Captain Zhou is too cold-hearted. This little guy isn't aggressive at all, and he's so pitiful, yet he's willing to dump him here. Oh, seeing him cry makes my heart ache..."
"Indeed, C-036 is quite cute. It's still a cub. If we raise it well, it might become our companion in the future."
"But won't C-036 starve to death if he doesn't eat? If he goes on a hunger strike again, we'll definitely be punished!"
"Why don't we ask Professor Bo?"
Bo Yuchuan is a crisis guidance expert who was recently sent over from above. He is a high-ranking leader who was parachuted in. He is not familiar with the containment team here yet, so people usually don't dare to go to him.
However, in this situation, they had no choice but to ask Bo Yuchuan for help.
It is said that Bo Yuchuan is a very radical and unpredictable person. When faced with monsters, he sometimes destroys them directly, and sometimes he is willing to feed them with his own body. He seems to have his own set of values. As for monsters, he is not interested in protecting human safety at all, but is only interested in studying the monsters themselves.
He said he wanted to hear sounds from deep space.
Even if it makes me go crazy, even if it makes me die.
However, his knowledge was indeed extensive, which is why he was appointed by higher-ups who tolerated his shortcomings.
Upon hearing the researcher's report, Bo Yuchuan rushed over immediately.
After all, monsters that can communicate like this are very rare, and there are even cub monsters that have emotions similar to those of humans.
As soon as Bo Yuchuan arrived, his gaze fell on Qian Yuan.
"Knock knock".
He tapped the tank and saw the baby octopus move slightly before shrinking back even more.
Bo Yuchuan adjusted his glasses and walked to the other side.
Qianyuan followed his movements and quickly turned to face away from Bo Yuchuan.
Basically, it means turning your back to people.
Bo Yuchuan couldn't help but smile as he watched the little monster's childish behavior.
Are you really not going to eat?
Qianyuan is a very determined octopus seed.
But the next second, Bo Yuchuan had someone bring his plate over in front of Qian Yuan. It contained all the best dishes in the base, and the aroma was so enticing that it made Qian Yuan's mouth water.
Damn it... braised pork belly, ugh...
Before Qianyuan could even move, his stomach let out a whine.
