Chapter 120
Seeing that Wei Ming was still stubborn, Zhuang Shisong didn't know what to say.
He shook his head and continued to process the data of the mutant garlic sprout, trying to find out why it fell into dormancy - yes, after several days of observation, he and Wei Ming came to this preliminary conclusion.
This mutant garlic sprout has entered a dormant state.
Among the data they can currently grasp, there are several mutant plants that have entered a dormant state, but such examples are not many, and all of these plants have entered dormancy long after growing to the mature stage.
Like the mutant garlic sprout, it has not been found that it has entered this state shortly after mutation.
More importantly, of the plants that entered a dormant state, except for two that woke up and re-entered a growth state, the others died in dormancy.
This is why these researchers are so nervous.
If this mutant garlic sprout really died, they would really cry to death!
Cen Liang's laboratory.
After receiving the replies from Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming, Cen Liang did not sit idle.
He was busy organizing the data collected today. What puzzled him was that the Su keeper did not seem to have adopted any special cultivation methods - this was the information he got from the cubs.
Yes, this Su keeper is so unique that he actually let the cubs go to farm!
The most important thing is that they actually survived!
When Cen Liang heard the cubs say that farming was easy, just dig a hole in the ground, bury the germinated seeds in it and water them, and they will grow tall the next day, don't mention how complicated his mood was.
Even if it was soilless cultivation technology, it was not just throwing the culture medium after the seeds germinated!
After a whole day of observation, he easily found the problem with the soil in the nursery, so he secretly collected some soil and prepared to analyze it.
But before he started, his communicator rang.
26th Base - Fan Hao?
Cen Liang was a little confused. Why did this kid call him in the middle of the night, but he still picked up the phone.
"Xiao Fan, what's wrong? Our base has no plans to sell vegetables in the near future..."
He was interrupted by the other party before he finished speaking, "Uncle! Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Cen Liang couldn't help but frown. If it weren't for the obvious sobbing and trembling in the other party's voice, he would have thought that the other party was speaking in a sarcastic way.
"What's the matter? What happened?" he asked seriously.
"Our base was just attacked by monsters again, uncle, I almost died..." Fan Hao seemed to take a deep breath, and then said, "Let's not talk about this, uncle, do you still have that garlic perfume? Can you mass-produce it?"
Hearing him mention the garlic perfume, Cen Liang remembered that he did give him a bottle when the other party left last time.
After he inquired carefully, he found out that extreme weather had occurred again at Base 26 today. The worst thing was that a monster had invaded the logistics building of Base 26—
it actually entered the building and fought with the guards.
Fan Hao was affected by the battle and accidentally broke the bottle of garlic perfume that Cen Liang had given him at a critical moment. Then something incredible happened—
the ferocious monster actually gave up attacking Fan Hao, grabbed the guard it had already captured, turned around and ran away. As a result, before it ran out of the logistics building, the monster fell to the ground with a bang, and soon began to spit out foam!
The two kidnapped guards were quickly rescued by their partners. The guards had no idea what the monster was like, so they took advantage of its weakness and quickly killed it.
The crisis in the logistics building was finally resolved.
Others didn't know the situation, but Fan Hao, as the person involved, saw it very clearly - the monster ran away after his perfume was broken!
The joy and fear of surviving the disaster made him call the number immediately.
God knows, every time he used this bottle of perfume after returning, he would always be criticized by the people around him. Although he did feel happy when using it, he only dared to use it secretly when he returned to the dormitory due to everyone's resistance.
Who would have thought that at the critical moment, it was this bottle of garlic perfume that was disliked by others that saved his life!
Cen Liang listened to him talk about the danger tonight, but his expression was a little dazed, because he suddenly realized... it seemed that such a danger had not happened in Base 24 for a long time?
Because of the peace during this period, he had forgotten that Hell Planet was a place where people could die at any time.
Is this a coincidence, or... is it related to the appearance of the mutant garlic sprouts?
After all, Cen Liang was just a cultivator, and he could only think of the changes in the farm. After comforting Fan Hao for a few words, he still told him with regret: "I'm sorry, garlic perfume cannot be mass-produced."
He said in a depressed mood: "In fact, there was a problem with the mutant garlic seedlings these days, and the garlic perfume has not been produced anymore."
Because Fan Hao was also injured, after chatting for a few words, Cen Liang ended the call and asked him to go for treatment as soon as possible.
However, he also knew that the effect of garlic perfume might not be hidden. As long as the investigation was carried out afterwards, it would be easy to find the problem. Cen Liang also believed in the strength of his allies.
If it was before, they would be happy to sell garlic perfume, but now there is a problem with the mutant garlic sprouts, so they may need to use less. In this case, they can only use it at Base 24.
The Su breeder said that he would come to the cultivation garden when he has time, but I don’t know when he will be free... I don’t know if he can find a way to wake up the mutant garlic sprouts...
Cen Liang sighed, shook his head, and continued with the work at hand.
-
Unlike other tense and depressing places on Hell Star, the 24th Base Nursery tonight is filled with a cheerful and joyful... barbecue aroma.
That’s right, all the cubs got a small plate of barbecue tonight!
When the little wolf cub arrived at the restaurant and saw that the nutrient porridge on his plate was only half of the usual amount, he was a little confused. Of course, he was not dissatisfied, and even had a feeling that he had expected it.
After arriving at the nursery, he was able to eat and drink enough every day, and he didn't have to worry about food at all. It was as comfortable as if he was dreaming.
And now, the dream has finally "woke up".
But he was not very sad, at least he could still eat half full, right? And brother A Yan is back, and he can continue to eat barbecue tomorrow.
Including today's, I can eat four slices of barbecue tomorrow! I'm so excited just thinking about it!
"Let's eat!"
Little Langze picked up the spoon and was about to start eating, but he smelled an alluring aroma.
It's barbecue!
When A Yan appeared in the restaurant with a pot, he saw a group of cubs with various furry ears, all looking at him.
To be honest, this scene...
is quite healing.
He put the pot on the dining table, and then controlled the communicator with his mind - after some trial and error training, he no longer needs to use his fingers to control it, and he can make the communicator make sounds.
"I'll share the meat with you." The gentle voice of the young man sounded, and immediately aroused cheers from the cubs.
Even Rong Heng, who had the calmest personality, couldn't help but smile with joy.
Little Xuewei didn't understand why, but she still clapped and cheered. She just didn't expect that she would hear A Yan mention her name next.
"Today is Xuewei's first day at the nursery." A Yan said, "To welcome and celebrate, Su Su decided to give everyone a big meal tonight."
The truth is that a new batch of spider meat has arrived, so the remaining meat that is no longer so fresh needs to be disposed of.
Of course, you can't tell the cubs this directly.
Otherwise, how can you use barbecue to motivate them to work actively in the future? But as the resources gradually become abundant, the cubs' food will definitely get better and better.
So, under the gaze of all the cubs, A Yan put half a plate of barbecued meat into their plates!
Xiao Langze and the others were stunned. Even Xiao Xuewei, who was never hungry, couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she smelled the hot aroma of meat.
It looked delicious! And... this was specially prepared by Su Su and brother A Yan to celebrate her arrival!
Xiao Xuewei, who had already eaten two meals of nutritious porridge and experienced the level of food in the nursery, was very moved.
The other cubs were also very excited.
Why didn't they celebrate like this when they came before? Oh, yes, their keeper at that time was not Su Su!
Great! Will every new cub get to eat so much barbecue in the future?
Because of Xiao Xuewei's welcome gift and her cuteness, the cubs, who were not averse to her arrival, now like her even more.
"Sister Weiwei is awesome!" Xiao Lihua was the first to applaud, and the other cubs followed suit. The restaurant was filled with a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
Xiao Xuewei grinned and felt closer to everyone.
"Hehe, it would be great if there were new cubs every day!" Xiao Langze stuffed a mouthful of barbecue into his mouth, and then showed a happy expression.
It feels great to have a mouthful of meat!
Hearing his words, the cubs couldn't help but show a look of approval, and even Xiao Zhengxing nodded his head after hesitating for a moment.
Because... barbecue is delicious!
The little wolf swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, and his mouth was full of grease and sauce. He scooped up a mouthful of jelly and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted countless times better than usual.
At the table next to them, in addition to Ran Lie who turned into a red flame tiger, there was now a little Lu Li. The person
who was most confused about this sitting method was probably Xiao Lu Jiao.
He felt like he had really become a "traitor"... But to be honest, the reappearance of No. 6 gave him a different feeling.
The little monkey used to be a very selfish person. He did his own thing and never considered other people's ideas. But now...
Xiao Lu Jiao turned his head to look at the next table.
The blond boy sat opposite the Red Flame Tiger, eating quietly, and did not interact much with Ran Lie opposite him, but just this alone is already a great improvement!
At this time, as if he had sensed something, the boy who was eating suddenly raised his head and looked in his direction.
When their eyes met, Xiao Lujiao froze.
However, what he faced was not the angry glare he had imagined, on the contrary, it was a pair of peaceful and clear red eyes that seemed somewhat innocent.
Xiao Lujiao blinked, and just when he was wondering if he had seen it wrong, he saw the blond boy tilted his eyes at him.
Huh? Number Six smiled at him?
Xiao Lujiao's pupils trembled, and when he was about to see it clearly again, the boy had already lowered his head again and continued to eat seriously.
Could it be that he really saw it wrong?
It was not only Xiao Lujiao who noticed that No.6 was abnormal, but also the Red Flame Tiger who was squatting opposite him and eating.
While eating, Ran Lie would look up at No.6 opposite him from time to time.
The boy gave him the feeling that he was not like the old No.6 before, but more like the little monkey after he was completely transformed into a beast.
The little monkey was also slow and leisurely when eating the star chain fruit, his movements were gentle, and he didn't make any noise or noise, which gave people the feeling that he was very well behaved.
After dinner, on the way back to the room, the Red Flame Tiger's long tail suddenly stretched out and wrapped around Xiao Lu Li's waist.
Xiao Lu Li blinked when he was suddenly attacked, and turned his head to look at the Red Flame Tiger in confusion. Ran
Lie looked at his performance with a serious expression. Sure
enough, something was wrong.
If it was the previous No. 6, there would probably be only two reactions in this situation, either avoiding him with a happy smile and playing with him, or getting angry and rushing up to him to fight.
In short, it is impossible to have this kind of pure doubt, and a certain trust in his behavior, as if he knew that he would not be hurt.
It's just... very weird.
Ran Lie let go of the tail and was about to ask, but suddenly realized that he couldn't speak yet!
Meowing and the like, the other party couldn't understand, and it also affected his majesty.
He looked left and right at the empty corridor and couldn't help feeling a little conflicted. If only Brother A Yan was here, he could understand what he wanted to say.
At this time, he heard No. 6 speak: "Ran Lie, do you see that I'm different?"
Chi Yanhu's expression froze and his eyes stared at him closely.
"This has something to do with my natural ability." Little Lu Li scratched his hair, "I was in a frenzy before, so I might have appeared a little annoying..."
He saw it very clearly when he was acting like a monkey. He was so stupid that sometimes even he himself despised him.
"Thanks to Su Su's help, I have temporarily returned to normal." The young boy said, and then he smiled faintly, "I'm glad that you can see my changes."
Ran Lie was stunned. He looked at the smile on Little Lu Li's face, listened to his clear words, and finally he was sure that No. 6 had indeed changed.
Thinking of this, he looked at Little Lu Li's smile again, raised his chin, and snorted heavily.
Such an obvious change, only a blind man could not see it!
"Meow..."
Ran Lie just said "I" when he heard his own babyish voice. He looked at little Lu Li's eyes slightly widened, and the smile on his face was replaced by surprise.
He was a little angry and blew out a breath from his nose. He ignored No. 6 and rushed to the stairwell quickly and quickly, and soon disappeared from little Lu Li's sight.
Little Lu Li couldn't help scratching his head, Ran Lie... is he angry? But his cry is still quite cute, isn't it?
Ran
Lie ran all the way to the third floor and came to the door of the keeper's room.
Although all the regulations for raising cubs now are that you can't leave the room at will after six o'clock, but after staying here, Ran Lie knows that Su Su and A Yan did not go to rest immediately after six o'clock.
In fact, if he hadn't left on his own initiative, the keeper actually had no intention of chasing him away.
Ran Lie stretched out his tail and was about to knock on the door with the tip of his tail, but the metal door opened and a sweet smell filled the room.
He leaned inside and saw Su Ci sitting at the dining table, and in front of him were jars, at least a dozen or twenty, and the sweet smell was emanating from them.
These jars were just refined by Su Ci.
The raw materials came from Luo Shengfei's waste metal, and there was some left after it was used to build a shelf, so he refined it and stored the magic nectar.
The nectar from such a big magic flower finally filled 18 small cans, and this was the result of the magic flowers' unreserved love for him.
If he wanted to collect more nectar, he would have to wait for a while, so the nectar could not be wasted casually.
Su Ci first handed a can to A Yan, asking him to eat a spoonful every day, and then snapped his fingers. The next moment, a can disappeared and appeared in Xiao Lu Li's room.
When Xiao Lu Li saw the can of nectar, the screen of the base's intelligent computer also lit up, telling him to eat a spoonful every day and to start writing a long diary. Xiao Lu Li
sat at the table and began to think about how to write a diary with a bitter look on his face.
At this time, Ran Lie had already walked into Su Ci's dormitory and expressed his request with a meow.
Listening to the tender cry of the Red Flame Tiger, Su Ci felt itchy, and could not help but reach out and rub the little tiger's head.
Ran Lie dared not say anything, and could only squat there and let the keeper touch his ears.
After he was satisfied with the touch, Su Ci said: "Your blood power has exploded very seriously, and it has caused a serious burden on your body. I think you are aware of this, right?"
Ran Lie nodded.
After turning into a Red Flame Tiger, his life was not so easy. The burning sensation still appeared from time to time, but the difference now was that
when the pain came again, he would silently recite the mental formula taught by Su Ci, and then he would feel his mood gradually calm down.
This process is slow, but it is indeed effective.
As his emotions calmed down, the burning sensation that tormented him would slowly disappear, and in the process, he could feel his already scarred body more clearly than before.
"When your body has recovered and you can control the blood power freely, you will naturally be able to restore your human form and speak."
Cultivating in the beast state is actually beneficial to Ran Lie.
Because the beastly body is stronger and can withstand the burst of the red flame power. If it were the relatively fragile human form, it would probably collapse after a few times.
Ran Lie nodded, not quite understanding. Although he was a little disappointed, the breeder told him not to rush, so he could only be patient.
"But..."
Su Ci touched his chin, "It is better to open than to block, and blindly suppressing is not a solution."
He thought for a while and said, "How about this, you go back and write the growth diary first, and come to me after breakfast tomorrow morning, and I will take you to a place."
The matter of letting the Red Flame Tiger go to fight monsters can finally be put on the agenda.
Ran Lie didn't know what he was going to face the next day. He froze when he heard the growth diary, but when he looked up and saw the serious look of the keeper, he didn't dare to say anything more in the end.
"Meow--" Then I'm leaving.
The Red Flame Tiger said goodbye, and then went back to the room with a pale face to think about how to write today's growth diary.
This scene also happened in every cub room in the nursery.
Under the supervision of the base's intelligent computer, each cub sat obediently at the table, racking their brains to write down what happened today and what they had gained.
Su Ci's consciousness swept through all the cubs, then swept the green space, and finally collected them with satisfaction.
He picked up a jar of magic nectar, scooped a spoonful into his mouth, tasted the sweet taste, and scooped another spoonful to feed A Yan.
A Yan opened his mouth and ate it obediently, showing a cute smile to Su Ci.
Finally, after coaxing Su Ci to sleep, he went back to the living room to light a lamp and fight at night.
Now he has mastered the second divine text, his understanding of the rules has gradually deepened, and he has also realized many small tricks. I believe that if he keeps doing this, he will become stronger and stronger!
-The
next morning, after finishing his breakfast, Ran Lie went to the green land with the other cubs.
Although Su Su asked him to find him after breakfast, Ran Lie knew that Su Su could not get up so early.
When he arrived at the green land, he was extremely glad that he did not miss such a morning, because - the star chain fruit vines on the rope net were in bloom!
All I saw were bunches of pale yellow star-like flowers, hidden among the green leaves, stretching out in the morning light, releasing a light floral fragrance.
This beautiful and vibrant scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of each cub, becoming a memory they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
They finally understood why Little Lihua liked and yearned for flowers so much.
Even Rong Heng, who had always unconditionally supported his sister, was shocked when he saw the flourishing flowers on the star chain fruit vine.
It was really... too beautiful!
The happiest person was naturally Little Lihua.
She stared blankly at the beautiful flowers on the wall. After being stunned at first, she smiled happily. She pointed at the flowers and said to 4586, "It's the same little yellow flower as you!" The
yellow flowers she painted on the metal shell of 4586 were just small yellow flowers, but they were not as beautiful as the real flowers blooming naturally.
However, 4586 said, "I like the flowers that Baobao drew for me. Baobao draws the most beautiful ones."
Xiao Lihua smiled, her smile was bright and beautiful, just like the other sunflower hairpins on her side.
Ran Lie squatted on the ground, looking up at the flowers on the wall. He didn't know why, but he didn't recite it deliberately, and the heart method formula suddenly appeared in his mind.
He seemed to have realized something and felt that his mind seemed to be clearer.
The Red Flame Tiger just squatted quietly like this, exuding a calmness that was completely inconsistent with its temperament. When the time was almost up, it slowly stood up and walked towards the entrance of the nursery building.
Seeing the Red Flame Tiger leave, Xiao Luli tilted his head. In fact, when it comes to big changes, how can No. 2 not be the same? In other words, which of the cubs in the nursery has not changed a lot?
He looked at Xiaolu Jiao, at the lion brothers and sisters, at Xiao Zhengxing hiding under the vines, and then at...
Xiao Langze noticed his gaze, put his hands on his waist and raised his chin at him, revealing a provocative expression.
Xiao Luli:...
Well, not all cubs have changed.
