Chapter 107
When Ran Lie left room 303, Su Ci had naturally disappeared.
After looking around, he controlled his not-so-coordinated limbs and walked towards the staircase.
Although the elevator was estimated to be able to fit his fully beastly body, Ran Lie wanted to walk around and exercise his coordination ability. After all, he didn't know how long he would have to walk with this beastly body.
When he came to the stairwell, looking at the stairs going down and up, Ran Lie looked hesitantly at the stairs leading to the fourth floor, and then he stepped up.
Now he was no longer in a hurry to escape.
Although he has not given up the idea of escaping from Base 24, now that he has the hope of controlling the power of blood, he can't give up like this.
As for how to escape in the future, whether to live in the red mist...
to be honest, Ran Lie doesn't know.
He is also confused now. Of course, the only thing that can be confirmed is that he will definitely not be able to stay in Base 24 in the future. Now let's take it one step at a time.
Ran Lie came to the fourth floor, stopped for a while, and then continued to walk to the fifth floor.
He didn't want to go back to the room for the time being. It was rare to be able to walk freely in the nursery like this. Although it was not obvious on his face, the tail behind him stood up, the tip of the tail was slightly hooked, and it was shaking gently.
The young red flame tiger exuded a joyful aura.
When he reached the fifth floor, Ran Lie looked at the number on the door, and finally stopped in front of the little white deer's door.
If No. 7 saw him like this...
Ran Lie looked at his own figure reflected on the metal door.
In fact, as long as it doesn't bark or expose its belly to be petted, the image of the Red Flame Tiger is still very close to what he imagined, majestic and domineering.
After looking at it for a while and managing his expression, Ran Lie continued to approach the metal door, stretched out his whip-like tail, and knocked on the metal door with the tip of the tail, making a dong dong sound.
Ran Lie did this to attract the attention of No. 7 so that he could call him out, but he had just knocked on the door twice, and the closed metal door opened by itself.
Looking at the open door, Ran Lie's body stiffened, but he did not see the figure of the silver-haired boy.
Chiyanhu tilted his head and peeked into the door. The room was empty, with no one in it.
Ran Lie did not go in, but released his mental power and scanned the room. He found that No. 7 was not in the room.
He looked at the electronic clock on the wall and remembered that it was activity time and No. 7 should be in the activity room.
Ran Lie turned around and looked at the room next to No. 7. This time he did not knock on the door, but released his mental power to explore inside.
Then he unexpectedly found that No. 6 was in the room, and had turned back into a human form, with his eyes closed, sleeping soundly.
Ran Lie's eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of envy.
After No.6 was completely transformed into an animal, he was able to change back to his original form smoothly. Unlike him, he can only keep the body of an animal now. The only thing to be thankful for is that he still keeps human reason.
Ran Lie withdrew his mental power, did not disturb No.6's sleep, and walked downstairs.
I heard from the keeper that No.4 has been taken back and has a new name. I don't know how No.4 will react when he sees him like this?
Su Ci came to the back of the nursery building, next to the green space. There were still only the little wolf cub, the little white deer, and the little Zhengxing, but no lion siblings.
He released his spiritual consciousness and took a look, and found that Xiao Lihua was still copying her name, and Rong Heng, who was guarding the side, was not idle either, reciting the sword cultivation mental formula.
Looking at the gradually deformed characters of Xiao Lihua on the white paper, Su Ci couldn't help but mourn for her in his heart for a second. He
is indeed his brother. Xiao Lihua will probably never forget this lesson for the rest of her life, right?
Su Ci withdrew his spiritual consciousness and looked at the little wolf cubs again.
Xiao Langze was still playing the flute. After these days of hard practice, he had already played it quite well.
In fact, in Su Ci's vision, he could see that part of the spiritual energy released by the little spiritual bud was attracted by the sound of the flute and lingered around Xiao Langze.
Surrounded by such spiritual energy, Xiao Langze's spiritual platform would become clearer and easier to realize. In the way of sound cultivation, it would naturally be twice as effective with half the effort.
Perhaps in the future, little Langze may really be able to enter Taoism through music cultivation...
Su Ci nodded and looked at little Zhengxing again.
Relatively speaking, little Zhengxing's talent is a little worse.
The child may have noticed this, so he is not practicing at the moment, but just sitting next to little Langze, listening to his flute and playing with the metal ball in his hand.
The metal ball is a toy, but also a tool to help him increase his strength. He can control all machines made of metal by controlling the metal ball.
So, this is also a kind of cultivation for him.
What surprised Su Ci was the little white deer.
He was alone on the other side of the green space, not practicing playing the flute, but opening the light curtain, listening to the basic courses on the light curtain, and practicing writing on the mud ground with a metal stick.
His handwriting is already pretty good, although it is inevitably a little crooked due to his young age and lack of wrist strength, but the fact that he can write to this level through self-study shows his dedication.
The children were very serious and focused, they were immersed in their own world, and none of them noticed Su Ci's arrival.
Su Ci was still pleased to see that they found something they liked to do and immersed themselves in it.
Isn't this cultivating the mind and temper?
When they are immersed in what they like, they naturally feel positive emotions, and these emotions can help them guide and digest the power of the blood.
In this way, they may have mastered the innate power in this blood without realizing it.
Of course, this method is not suitable for Ran Lie and Rong Heng, because they have reached a critical point.
It may be helpful to some extent, but the effect is not great. They need a more targeted method to help them suppress and relieve the blood force of the riot.
The cultivation of swordsmanship and Buddhism is such a targeted method. I just hope that they have enough understanding and can go a long way on these two paths.
Su Ci retracted his gaze and did not make a sound to disturb the children.
As for Xiao Zhengxing and Xiao Bailu not practicing playing the flute? Just like he said before, if they don't have talent, then they can choose another way. He will not force them to follow the path of music cultivation.
His eyes fell on the two spiritual buds.
After transplantation, there were still ten plants left from the first batch of crops, two each of Golden Taro, Yingcui Beans and Yuxue, and four Star Chain Fruits.
Yuxue, Yingcui Beans and Star Chain Fruits are all vine plants, so even though a batch has been transplanted, the remaining ten have still expanded a lot after a day and a night of growth.
Yuxue doesn't need to be taken care of for the time being, because its vines will differentiate into roots and take root in the soil after growing to a certain length.
These roots can also enrich nutrients and improve the soil, so there is no big problem.
But the other two crops do not have this growth characteristic, so they still need to be built with a rack to facilitate their growth.
Fortunately, when Su Ci left Luo Shengfei yesterday, he picked up some materials -
all of them were scrapped parts and equipment. Because they were not made of reshapeable memory metal, they could only become waste after being damaged.
Although Luo Shengfei has made use of waste as much as possible, these waste metals still occupy half of his workshop.
After hearing his complaints, Su Ci took advantage of the situation and swept all the waste metals into the space button.
Luo Shengfei didn't know what he wanted to do with these things. After confirming again and again that he would not throw them away carelessly and that they were really useful, he gave them to him very generously.
Su Ci was of course useful.
Metal was a rare material in the past. Who would have thought that in the new era, metal would be so abundant?
He wanted to pick up some dead branches and wood strips to build a shelf, but he couldn't find them.
Su Ci took a rough look at the growth of the plants and the area of the land. After confirming the size of the shelf, he left.
He came to the two pools of water on the side of the nursery building, first took out the giant black beetle that had been placed in the space button, peeled off the outer shell, and left the soft and crystal soft flesh. He threw it all into one of the pools for purification.
Then, Su Ci took out all the discarded metal parts in the space button and piled them up beside it, like a small hill. Su Ci
stretched out his hand, and a ball of red flame appeared above his palm, burning quietly and releasing hot energy.
He waved his hand, and the red flame floated up and floated in the air. Then, a part flew out of the pile of parts and fell into the red flame.
After a burst of sizzling sounds, the broken parts were melted into glowing molten iron.
Su Ci continued to manipulate the damaged parts.
One by one, the metal parts flew into the red flame, and the melted liquid gathered together, and the area became larger and larger.
Su Ci was multitasking. On one hand, he manipulated the parts to fly into the red flames, and on the other hand, he controlled the red molten iron to condense into shape, and then placed it in the pool water to quickly cool it down and set it.
As he operated in this way, one new part after another appeared in the pool water and slowly piled up.
The function of the shelf is simple, mainly used for vines to climb, as long as it is stable enough, there will be no problem.
Not long after, all the parts Su Ci needed had been melted into shape, so he stopped, and he had only used one-third of the parts he had taken from Luo Shengfei.
Su Ci stretched out his hand and the parts at the bottom of the pool flew out one by one, landing at his feet, flashing with metallic light in the sun.
Looking at these parts, Su Ci, who was about to start assembling, thought for a moment, put all the parts into the space button, and then went to the back of the nursery building.
The three children were still doing their own things.
Su Ci clapped his hands and made a sound to attract their attention.
"Su Su!" Little Langze was the first to rush over, "I have a question for you!"
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded, "Wait a minute."
Then he took out the parts from the space button and piled them on the ground.
"Su Su, what are these?" The little white deer came over curiously.
Su Ci explained, and then said, "We have to assemble this shelf and put it over there."
"Can I help?" Little Langze raised his hand, eager to try.
Su Ci looked at Xiao Zhengxing and asked, "Zhengxing, can you do it alone?"
Judging from how active Xiao Zhengxing was yesterday, he should be interested in this aspect. In this case, Su Ci will give him more opportunities to practice.
This is also a kind of practice, which will help him to master the power of blood more accurately.
Facing Su Ci's question, Xiao Zhengxing nodded his head slightly - he can even control the takeoff of a spaceship, so assembling this metal frame should not be a problem for him.
His mental power swept back and forth over the pile of parts. After obtaining all the information and conducting some analysis, his small hand holding the metal ball glowed slightly.
If there were other people present, Xiao Zhengxing might hide and not take any action, but those present were all people he trusted, so he didn't mind showing off his abilities, nor did he mind the attention that followed.
With Xiao Zhengxing's control, the parts on the ground moved, and then they were assembled one by one from small to large.
Xiao Langze and Xiao Lujiao were stunned. This was the first time they had seen Zhengxing's abilities so intuitively.
Manipulating metal? No, it should be manipulating machines!
So cool!
Xiao Langze squatted beside him, keeping his hands on the ground, shaking his big tail behind him, and guarding Xiao Zhengxing like a big dog.
He looked at the gradually taking shape of the frame, and then at the expression on Xingxing's face that had never been there before, and he understood in his heart that this was what Xingxing really liked to do!
Just like he likes playing the flute, Xingxing also likes to assemble these hard metal parts.
"Xingxing is amazing!" Xiaolu Jiao praised sincerely.
Xiao Langze nodded, of course, Xingxing is the best and the most amazing!
They watched Xiao Zhengxing assemble the rack together, and at this time, at the gate of the nursery, a sneaky figure came to the metal door and looked around.
When this suspicious figure appeared, Su Ci received a reminder from the base's intelligent computer.
Looking at the image displayed in front of him by the base's intelligent computer, Su Ci was also a little surprised when he saw the person in the image clearly.
It was Cen Liang, the intermediate researcher in the cultivation garden. What was he doing here?
Su Ci looked at the other party wandering at the gate, thought about it, and said to the children: "I'll leave for a while."
Xiao Langze and Xiao Lujiao watched him go away.
It was just a simple metal frame. Xiao Zhengxing assembled it quickly. Before he had time to appreciate the finished product, he sensed the keeper's departure.
"Where are you going, Su Su?" Xiao Langze whispered.
He also has a question about playing the flute!
"Let's go and take a look."
Facing this suggestion, Xiao Zhengxing shook his head, and squatted next to the green space with his metal ball. His small figure was like a mushroom, as if he could squat there forever.
Xiao Langze did not force him, but just looked at his other little friend.
Facing his questioning eyes, Xiao Lujiao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Then let's go and take a look."
Anyway, the keeper didn't say that he couldn't follow - now he has gradually learned how to exploit loopholes in the rules.
So, the two children ran together in the direction where Su Ci left. Before they ran to the front of the nursery building, Xiao Langze's ears moved slightly.
He is very sensitive to sounds and can hear sounds coming from far away.
He heard Su Su talking to someone, and that person's voice... sounded familiar?
At the bend, Xiao Langze hurriedly braked, and Xiao Lujiao behind him also hurriedly stopped and lay down with him at the corner of the wall, then looked towards the door of the nursery under the cover of the building.
The metal door of the nursery was wide open, and a young man in a gray-blue uniform stood at the door. In front of him, there was a man with a bald head and some gray hair on his temples. The two were talking.
Although it was quite far away, Xiao Langze recognized him at a glance - it was that bad old man!
Yes, he would definitely not make a mistake. It was the bad old man who asked Su Su to go to the nursery yesterday!
At this time, remembering what Xiaolu Jiao said about being polite, Xiao Langze reluctantly changed his words, OK, it was that bad grandfather...
What did he do in the nursery today?
Could it be that he was still greedy and wanted Susu to go to the breeding garden?
Thinking of this, Xiao Langze got angry again. Just as he was about to rush out, his clothes were pulled by Xiaolu Jiao.
"Langze, calm down!" Xiaolu Jiao said, "Didn't Susu say that you can't be impulsive when encountering things? Don't be so reckless like before, Susu doesn't like it!"
The last sentence successfully calmed Xiao Langze down.
He scratched his hair and said angrily, "But that bad grandpa came to see Su Su again!"
"We have to believe Su Su." Xiao Lu Jiao said, "And... he came to see Su Su, maybe because of something else?"
In fact, Cen Liang sneaked outside the nursery and wandered around, and it was indeed not for digging.
After he ended the call yesterday, he had been bothered by the touch of fresh green that appeared on the call screen, so after struggling for a day and a night, he finally came to the nursery to find out.
Unexpectedly, he was caught by this Su keeper as soon as he arrived at the door.
But Cen Liang was not embarrassed, because he had a legitimate excuse -
"This is something sent to you by someone from the 26th base. I saw that you haven't gone to the nursery to get it, so I sent it to you." Cen Liang said with a smile.
Su Ci nodded. He had indeed forgotten about this matter.
"Thank you." He took the things handed over by Cen Liang.
Although he now has sufficient food sources, no one would complain about throwing away too much food, and this was sent by Song Zehe, which was indeed thoughtful.
He himself is still a new recruit, and the points he can get in a month are probably not many, right?
Cen Liang continued to greet: "That crazy cub yesterday... is it okay?"
"Nothing." Su Ci said, and then stopped talking.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while - of course, only Cen Liang was awkward.
"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay!" Cen Liang tried hard to change the subject, "You're amazing, I didn't expect that you look so inconspicuous, but you can actually take care of the cubs so well!"
Before coming, Cen Liang went to find out more.
He knew that every time a new keeper came to the nursery, some people in the base would start a bet to see how long the new keeper could stay.
And this keeper Su, because of his size, was undoubtedly the least optimistic one in such a long time.
Unexpectedly, he actually persisted day by day like this. Now it has been more than half a month. It seems that since the first day he came, except for a cub that went crazy and was sent to the infirmary, everything has been calm since then.
Combined with what he saw in the video yesterday, the attitude of the little wolf cub towards Su Ci, Cen Liang couldn't help but admire this Su keeper.
At the same time, he also understood that the suggestions he made to him in the video were probably a bit presumptuous.
This Su keeper did a good job in the nursery and probably wouldn't go to the cultivation farm. Although he felt it was a pity, he also knew that everyone has their own aspirations and they couldn't force it.
After the greetings, seeing that the keeper didn't seem to be interested in listening to his nonsense, Cen Liang rubbed his hands and had to get straight to the point.
"The main reason I came to see you this time is actually because I heard from Xiaozhuang that you got some seeds and planted them in the nursery? I wonder how it's going? Do you have any problems that need my help?" Cen Liang looked at Su Ci and asked very sincerely.
Is there any problem that needs help...
Su Ci looked at him and said, "Really."
Cen Liang's eyes lit up, "What's the problem? Tell me about it?"
"I need a greenhouse." Su Ci said.
"Greenhouse?" Cen Liang frowned. Did he really see it wrong yesterday?
He said, "I'm afraid that won't work. After all, the function of the nursery does not include planting. But you can apply for it. If it is really necessary, the administrative department should agree to it based on your ability."
As he spoke, he still glanced into the nursery. He remembered that the background of Su Ci's video yesterday was outdoors...
However, there was nothing to see in front of the nursery building.
Su Ci was still thinking about the greenhouse.
"Too slow." He said, "My crops may not be able to wait that long."
Hearing him mention the crops he planted, Cen Liang's eyes lit up, "Have you really grown anything? Can you take me to see it?"
After speaking, he realized that his tone was a little anxious, so he coughed lightly and said with a smile, "If there are results, maybe I can help with the greenhouse."
Cen Liang was thinking that if Su Ci really succeeded in growing green seedlings with soil, then he could transplant the green seedlings into the greenhouse of the nursery.
It would be too extravagant to build a greenhouse just for a few green seedlings.
Su Ci looked at him and finally nodded.
Originally, he also planned to exchange mature Star Chain Fruit for points. He was planting things behind the nursery building, so it was only a matter of time before he was exposed.
In this case, what did it matter if it was sooner or later?
So, Su Ci took Cen Liang and walked to the back of the nursery building. Because he didn't want him to see the two pools, he chose the other side and just didn't run into the little wolf cubs.
"Did you really use the soil of Hell Star to grow green seedlings?" On the way, Cen Liang couldn't help asking, "What is the germination rate?"
He knew that Su Ci took twenty or thirty seeds from Zhuang Shisong. In his expectation, it would be pretty good if one or two could sprout.
As a result, the young man said, "The germination rate... 100%?"
Cen Liang was about to say, "Don't be ridiculous. Even soilless cultivation technology can't achieve 100% success." However, when he turned a corner and saw the crowded star fruit trees under the corner and the green vines that almost covered most of the rope net, all the words stuck in his throat.
How is this possible? !
