Chapter 104
Selaginella is worthy of the name of the herb that can bring back the dead.
After the leaves spread out, there were slight changes almost every once in a while. The cubs gathered around the can of spiritual water, watching in amazement.
Even Xiao Zhengxing couldn't help but gather around to feel the vitality that continued to emanate from this revived Selaginella.
Su Ci, who had originally planned to take them back like this, stayed in the spaceship temporarily after seeing this.
He looked at the Selaginella that had already recovered a hint of green, and he couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
This Selaginella may have entered a state of suspended animation and dormancy before the red fog appeared on the planet, so it was not as severely affected by the red fog as the small wild grass and moss.
This also means that after it recovers, it can be transplanted outdoors soon.
Of course, Su Ci is more cautious. Although Selaginella is very strong, it is not suitable for all environments. If you want it to grow well and reproduce quickly, you still need to study it.
But this is not a big problem for Su Ci.
"If I remember correctly, Selaginella is also a medicinal material." Su Ci said, "It can reduce inflammation and stop bleeding. Whether it is applied externally or taken internally, it has good effects."
Although Selaginella has the word "柏" in its name, it is not a tree, but a fern plant that can grow in extremely dry places. Once it lacks water, it will curl up its leaves and the roots will leave the soil, waiting for the environment to become suitable again.
Its leaves can be used to stop bleeding and are the raw materials for making golden sore medicine. It can also be burned into ashes and taken internally, which is effective in treating internal bleeding.
The little white deer and the little star nodded, not quite understanding, but the little wolf cub's eyes lit up.
The other cubs were already used to medical spray and medical cabins. No matter what injuries they had, they could just lie down in the medical cabin and heal. However, the little wolf cub, who had been beaten and scolded by the star pirates since he was a child, understood that medical spray and medical cabins would not always be there.
Without these medical equipment, he would have to rely on himself to bear the injuries. However, now, the keeper has opened the door to a new world for him.
He looked at the Selaginella with eager eyes. For the first time, he knew that plants could heal injuries!
"I wonder if there are any more immortal grasses outside the base?"
"It's really tenacious. It can survive in such harsh conditions..."
Seeing several cubs discussing around the Selaginella, Su Ci did not join them. He turned and came to the exit of the spaceship, and A Yan followed closely beside him.
Although 244H is close to retirement, its configuration is actually not low. There is a transmission platform at the exit, which can directly transmit personnel to the outside of the spaceship, and can also quickly connect personnel to the spaceship.
"Xiaozhi, can the transmission platform of the spaceship be connected to the brooding house?" Su Ci asked.
There is a transmission platform inside the brooding house, which is convenient for transmitting the cubs back to the room when an emergency occurs.
Su Ci thought that if the teleporter platform of the spaceship could be connected to the brooding house, it would be much more convenient to travel back and forth. Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
"No." The base's intelligent computer answered mercilessly.
The teleporter platform of the spaceship is different from that of the brooding house. It can only teleport objects to the vicinity of the spaceship, and it cannot teleport objects a little further away.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient for the goods to go directly on the teleporter platform and teleport back and forth between the spaceship and the warehouse? Moreover, the teleporters used in various parts of the base are also limited in distance, otherwise there would be no need to use spaceships to transport supplies to the supply station.
Hearing the explanation of the intelligent computer, Su Ci couldn't help but sneer.
Although the human race in the Dharma Ending Age has found something to replace the formation, it is still inferior in the end, and there are too many restrictions.
Su Ci nodded, and simply pulled A Yan over. The two of them squatted on the ground together and carved a new formation next to the teleportation platform.
Seeing the new formation, A Yan couldn't help but be refreshed and looked at it attentively. While Su Ci was carving the formation, he also explained to him the formation structure of this teleportation formation.
This kind of functional formation can bring a lot of convenience in real life. Even if A Yan can't learn how to draw it in a short time, he must at least master how to use it.
Hearing Su Ci's request to him, A Yan nodded quickly and listened more seriously.
After the formation was successfully drawn, Su Ci did not show him how to use it. Seeing this, A Yan blinked in confusion.
But soon, he figured it out.
"Su Su, this is a teleportation array, so two sets are needed to use it, right?" A Yan asked.
Su Ci nodded and rubbed his furry ears, "Your understanding is good, keep it up."
A Yan grinned, and a blush appeared on his face because of the pat on the head.
Next, Su Ci took him back to the cabin, and the three children were still surrounding the Selaginella.
The leaves of the Selaginella have all stretched out, floating in the spiritual water, and the green that was originally just a few dots has spread out.
Maybe we don't have to wait until tomorrow, this Selaginella will be fully alive.
Su Ci was very satisfied. Seeing that the time was almost up, he finally ignored the pleading eyes of the cubs and took them away from the spaceship and came to an empty floating bus again.
When the floating bus arrived at the nursery station, he got off with several cubs. Seeing this scene, Xun Xiaoyu and her teammates who were guarding outside the nursery looked at each other in surprise.
Didn’t they say that the keepers and cubs were not on the floating bus? How did they get off the bus?
Because they received a report that the keeper took three cubs out alone, for safety reasons, the action team naturally had to follow.
As a result, the four teams searched for an entire afternoon and did not find the whereabouts of the keepers and cubs in the base.
If it weren't for the dangers lurking outside the base and the layers of procedures required to go out, they would have wondered if the keeper had kidnapped the cub.
What was even more strange was that when they reported the incident to Captain Yan, the reply they received was to withdraw the team and not to worry about the matter anymore, which was really abnormal.
Although Xun Xiaoyu withdrew the team members, she was still worried, so she took people to guard outside the nursery.
If the keeper and the cub still didn't come back after dark, she would never give up. Unexpectedly, at the last moment after dark, the keeper finally showed up with the cub.
Moreover, he came back on a floating bus.
Xun Xiaoyu led the team to meet them. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the little wolf cub running in front of her, happily calling her, "Sister Xun!"
His sudden call of "Sister" made Xun Xiaoyu slip and almost fall to the ground.
"You...what did you just call me?" Xun Xiaoyu looked at the boy in shock.
The little boy in front of her had a pair of wolf ears, a big furry tail behind him, gray-black hair and green eyes. It was definitely No. 8, right?
She couldn't have made a mistake, so...did she hear it wrong just now?
Although the title of "Sister" was not particularly nice, if it came from No. 8's mouth, it would be a bit flattering.
However, Xun Xiaoyu's reaction made Xiao Langze misunderstand. He scratched his head, glanced back at Su Ci, and looked at Xiao Lujiao for help.
Of course, he remembered one of the new rules of the nursery: be polite! And he was in front of Su Ci, so he dared not violate it, but...
the reaction of this big sister of the action team seemed a little wrong? Did he call her the wrong name?
With "Uncle Little Camel" in front of him, he certainly knew what other people would say if he was polite, so he was inevitably at a loss for Xun Xiaoyu's reaction of being shocked to the point of losing control of her expression. Instead
of calling her big sister, should I call her auntie?
Before the little wolf cub was about to change his words and call her auntie, the little white deer spoke.
He walked to the wolf cub, looked at Xun Xiaoyu, his eyes were clear, and he called softly, "Hello, Sister Xiaoyu."
This tender childish voice with a bit of softness, as soon as it sounded, it seemed to have some kind of power to heal people's hearts. Anyway...Xun Xiaoyu felt that her heart had melted into water when she heard these "Sister Xiaoyu".
She subconsciously looked at the little white deer, and her voice softened unconsciously. It was the kind of coaxing tone that would inadvertently reveal when facing a cub. She smiled and said, "Hey, little deer, how are you?"
After she responded, she saw the little white deer's appearance clearly, and then she realized belatedly that
this was actually the No. 7 who could choke people to death just by talking!
Xiao Langze, who was standing next to him, did not see the shock in Xun Xiaoyu's eyes. He only saw Xun Xiaoyu's smile and her subconscious change in attitude towards the little white deer, and he felt that he had understood.
So that's how it is, I learned it!
Xiao Langze immediately changed his words and shouted, "Hello, Sister Xiaoyu!"
Xun Xiaoyu looked at him again with a look of seeing a ghost.
Seeing this, Xiao Langze couldn't help but feel wronged.
It's obviously the same name, why does this elder sister treat them differently!
Fortunately, when Su Ci walked over slowly with Xiao Zhengxing, Xun Xiaoyu had already managed her expression again. She took back the shock and even shock in her heart, and also smiled back at the little wolf cub.
"Hello, little wolf."
Her smile was obviously filled with relief and emotion.
The four teams led by Xun Xiaoyu are usually responsible for the guarding of the nursery. Whenever something happens in the nursery, she is the one who handles it.
It can be said that she has basically watched these cubs grow up. It would be a lie to say that she has no feelings for them - the little red flower hairpin for No. 5 was given by her.
She also secretly hopes that these children can get better day by day. She also understands that they are not bad by nature. It is mostly the influence of the power of blood that causes their personalities to get worse and worse - when they first arrived at the nursery, these cubs were still quite well-behaved.
Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. She could only watch them suffer from the power of blood, and their aggressiveness became stronger and stronger, but she was powerless. There was only deep reluctance and helplessness in her heart.
But...
what did she just see?
Number 8, who was always hot-tempered and arrogant, actually took the initiative to greet her and even called her sister when they just met? Number 7, who
was always ruthless, also called her "Sister Xiaoyu" sweetly? Moreover, Number 7 and Number 8 were obviously incompatible with each other on weekdays, so why did they look so harmonious today?
Of course, Xun Xiaoyu knew that she was not dreaming, but something that really happened in front of her, so how could she not be pleased and excited?
The little wolf cub, who was a little aggrieved and dissatisfied, also felt overwhelmed by Xun Xiaoyu's eyes.
He couldn't understand her eyes, but he felt suddenly embarrassed in his heart, so he turned his head and looked at the keeper.
He was so polite just now, Su Su should like it, right?
The wolf cub's eyes seeking praise were too obvious, even Su Ci couldn't ignore it, but his polite behavior was indeed worthy of encouragement.
In order to suppress and control the power of blood vessels and relieve emotions, it is important to cultivate one's mind and temper, and being kind to others is also a kind of practice.
After he approached, he pressed the top of the wolf cub's head and rubbed it, and rubbed the boy's furry ears, and then greeted Xun Xiaoyu: "Captain Xun."
"Su breeder." Xun Xiaoyu also responded.
She looked at the breeder in front of her, who seemed a little too thin in her opinion, and her evaluation of him had changed. After all
, the changes in No. 7 and No. 8 are obvious to all, and the only one who could bring about such changes to them is the keeper Su in front of him - it is easy to see from their intimate interaction just now.
Xun Xiaoyu was shocked, but also happy that the nursery finally welcomed a reliable keeper.
Although No. 7 and No. 8 were not as seriously affected by the power of blood as the other cubs, it was already surprising that they had such a big change.
As for No. 2, No. 4, and No. 6, who were more seriously affected, Xun Xiaoyu did not have much expectations, but this... more or less, should also bring some good changes to them, right?
However...
thinking of this keeper Su, who dared to leave the nursery with three cubs alone, and did not ask the guards or the action team to accompany her, Xun Xiaoyu still frowned in disapproval.
Although Captain Yan told her not to interfere in the affairs of this keeper Su, as he seemed to be of great importance, she still couldn't turn a blind eye when it came to the safety of the cubs.
However, just when Xun Xiaoyu was about to ask Su Ci where he had taken the cubs today and warned him to notify the action team in advance next time...
"Hello... Sister Xiaoyu."
The sweet and sticky voice of a baby, like a glutinous rice ball rolled in frosting, although it was very soft, it really reached Xun Xiaoyu's ears.
She suddenly forgot what she wanted to say, and lowered her head in a daze, looking at the little boy who was hiding behind Su Ci with only half of his head sticking out.
Because No. 3 is blind and has autism, he has always stayed quietly in his own world. He is the least noticeable cub in the nursery.
Just now, Xun Xiaoyu subconsciously ignored him.
But now, her expression was dull, and a voice echoed in her heart: What? No. 3 can actually speak? How come she didn't know?
The key is... so cute!
Although Xun Xiaoyu's expression was dull, the emotional fluctuations she released were very active. Feeling her enthusiasm, Xiao Zhengxing...
he retracted half of his head and hid himself completely behind the keeper.
Unfortunately, the keeper was not prepared to be his cover all the time. When Xun Xiaoyu was shocked and speechless, he said, "If there is nothing else, let's go back to eat first."
Then he walked past Xun Xiaoyu and continued to walk forward, exposing Xiao Zhengxing who was hiding behind him.
Xiao Zhengxing felt Xun Xiaoyu's sight again. He hugged the metal ball in his arms tightly, and quickly stepped forward with his short legs. He rushed to the front of the keeper, came to the side of the little wolf cub, and stretched out his little hand to him.
"Tired?"
Xiao Langze thought he was tired, so he bent down tacitly and carried Xiao Zhengxing on his back.
Xiao Zhengxing lay on his back and buried his little face in his shoulder, as if others could not see him in this way.
"Let's go and eat!"
Little Langze was already very hungry. When he heard Su Ci talking about eating, he couldn't help it anymore and ran with Little Zhengxing on his back.
Little Deer Jiao looked at them, then turned back to look at the keeper who was walking slowly.
Seeing his hesitation, Su Ci shrugged and said, "You go."
Xiaolu Jiao then laughed and said, "I'll go first." Then he shouted to his friends who were already far away, "Langze, Xingxing, wait for me!"
This time, Xiaolangze, who had already rushed to the gate of the nursery, stopped after hearing his voice and turned back to shout, "Yoyo, hurry up!"
"I'm coming!"
There was no physical work to do in the afternoon, so Xiaolu Jiao ran very fast and came to the little wolf cub in a flash. The three of them ran into the nursery building together.
Xun Xiaoyu watched this scene from a distance, and then looked at Su Ci's gradually receding back under the street light. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Forget it, the cubs are so happy, why should she spoil their fun? Anyway, they came back safely and nothing happened.
But she thinks that next time Keeper Su takes the cubs out, he should still notify them.
After all, if it was No. 2 or No. 4 who went out, he would definitely not be able to control them alone. Those two cubs are like two mobile explosive packs, and ordinary people really can't handle them.
Because of such worries, Xun Xiaoyu finally took measures -
she called the smart brain and said to it: "Next time, if Keeper Su takes the cubs out, please be sure to notify me as soon as possible."
As
soon as Su Ci walked into the nursery and confirmed that Xun Xiaoyu did not follow, he took A Yan back to the dormitory.
A Yan went to prepare dinner, and just as he sat down, he received an order from the base's intelligent computer about Xun Xiaoyu - as the leader of the action team responsible for the safety of the nursery, she has the authority to obtain the whereabouts of the keepers and cubs.
Su Ci nodded, "If I leave the nursery in a normal way, just tell her."
The base's intelligent computer: "Got it, may I ask what are the abnormal ways to leave the nursery?"
Su Ci shrugged, "There are many."
Anyway, walking out the door or taking a means of transportation to leave, that must be a normal way.
Speaking of transportation...
Su Ci thought of the flying saucer used by the action team, and couldn't help but be a little jealous. Although he can also fly in the air, it will consume soul power after all.
What's more, using this flying method also requires using invisibility, which doubles the soul power consumption.
However, after checking the redemption points of the flying saucer, Su Ci temporarily gave up the idea of getting one to play with. Of course, this was only temporary.
When the star chain fruits in the ground mature, he should not need to worry about points anymore.
Thinking of this, Su Ci came to the living room and began to draw the transmission array on the open space - this way, it would save a lot of time and effort to travel back and forth between the spaceship and the nursery in the future.
I will go to the river to draw another one tomorrow, and then connect the three formations, so that we can communicate with each other...
They left for an afternoon, and the brooding house was calm and nothing happened. Number 2 and Number 6 were still in hibernation, and the lion brothers and sisters...
Su Ci, who had finished drawing the formation, "looked" at Xiao Lihua, who was still buried in the desk, writing his name stroke by stroke, and silently lit a candle for her in his heart, and then withdrew his consciousness.
He came to the living room and looked at the small wild grass.
This small wild grass had two dry and red leaves, but now the two leaves have become full again, and the vitality of the whole grass is many times stronger than when he first saw it.
It was just planted in normal soil and irrigated with spiritual water. Such a big change occurred in such a short time, which shows how tenacious its vitality is.
Of course, Su Ci did not plan to plant it in the ground before its leaves completely turned green again.
He took out the Selaginella and replaced it with clean spiritual water. As for the dry red mosses, he also created a humid environment for them.
Looking at the three plants placed in front of him, feeling their life breath that was completely native to the land, Su Ci couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, feeling happy.
In the future, it will get better and better.
I don't know if it's because of his good mood, Su Ci ate obviously more tonight than before, which made A Yan a little worried.
The spider meat in the cold storage should only be enough for another three days. If we add the giant black beetle, it will only be enough for five days.
So, should we put the plan of killing monsters on the agenda?
Although he wanted to kill monsters, A Yan knew that he was too weak now, so after dinner, he once again studied the formation seriously.
He had basically transformed some commonly used formation structures into new forms.
So, before going to sleep, A Yan gave Su Ci a surprise -
he successfully drew the first formation he had come into contact with, the Purifying Water Formation, and successfully activated it.
Su Ci looked at the Purifying Water Formation that was successfully operating, and then looked at A Yan who was looking at him anxiously, waiting for his evaluation, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although as a rule-based spirit, A Yan has a talent in formations, which is understandable, but this talent... is a bit too strong. How
long has it been? You know, he originally planned to teach for a year or so...
Forget it, this is a good thing.
Su Ci reached out his hand and rubbed A Yan's head hard, praising him generously, "Very good!"
This way, A Yan could do some work for him... Just as
Su Ci was thinking, A Yan, who was patted on the head, was still dissatisfied. He did not continue to talk about the formation, but asked: "Su Su, what kind of tail do you like?" The
gentle and clear boy's voice was obviously synthesized, and no emotion should be heard. However, Su Ci, who was a little distracted, was a little dazed at this moment.
He seemed to see a boy of eighteen or nineteen, who had just grown up, looking at him with passionate but slightly shy eyes, and asked him this question...
Su Ci blinked, and the boy disappeared from his sight, but in the end, he left some traces in his heart. What kind of tail
