Chapter 26

Su Ci looked at the smart computer he placed on the corner of the coffee table.

Song Zehe? This name felt very unfamiliar, but it seemed that he had heard it somewhere.

Su Ci was about to answer the call, but he lowered his eyebrows and caught a glimpse of the child sitting next to the coffee table, looking up at him with curiosity in his eyes, so he stopped.

"You continue to study." He said softly, then turned and walked into the bedroom before answering the call.

A light curtain unfolded in the void in front of Su Ci, and a brown-haired young man with a short haircut appeared on it.

Seeing his appearance clearly, Su Ci suddenly realized.

It was the young man who sat next to him when he woke up on the spaceship. When he got off the spaceship, he said that he would contact him later. It turned out that his name was Song Zehe.

Across the screen, Song Zehe's condition did not look good. His hair was wet and dripping with water. His face was stained with blood, and it was unclear whether it was his own or someone else's.

The environment he was in was a bit noisy, and his breathing was uneven, panting, and he looked quite frail.

"Su Ci."

After the call was connected, Song Zehe was the first to say hello. Although his breath was unstable, his voice still sounded quite energetic.

Su Ci could not remember any memory related to him, but when he saw him, he did not feel any ill will in his heart.

Perhaps he could get some useful information from this person, so he nodded, glanced at the blood on the young man's face, and asked, "Are you okay?"

But he heard the young man opposite him say, "I should be the one asking this question!"

"I heard the radio broadcast that the 24th base also encountered blood rain. You didn't go out, did you?"

Radio?

Su Ci remembered the weather report before the blood rain came. It seemed that it did say that in addition to the 24th base, two other bases were also affected.

This Song Zehe in front of him, he remembered that he was from the 26th base?

While Su Ci was thinking, Song Zehe was also looking at him. Seeing that he was clean and in good condition, he continued to talk to himself.

"I'm relieved to see you're okay. I'm waiting in line for treatment at the medical department." He raised his bloody left hand, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Su Ci couldn't tell the extent of his injury through the light screen, so he could only nod in response.

"So many people in our base were injured this time! The medical department is packed with people." Song Zehe said. He didn't take a picture of the specific scene, but from the noisy background sound, he could hear someone wailing.

"Before I came here, I heard from my family that the conditions on Hell Planet are not good, so I was mentally prepared. I didn't expect it to be much more dangerous than I thought!"

"Su Ci, did you see the monsters in the red mist?" Although the privacy mode was turned on, he still lowered his voice when he said this.

Su Ci nodded.

Song Zehe showed a lingering fear, "It's really too scary!"

Although the blood rain has stopped and the monster has been driven away, Song Zehe still can't control the shaking of his hands when he thinks of the moment when he faced that huge monster.

As new recruits, they had a one-month training period. On the second day after arriving at the base, in addition to regular training, they also had to learn courses. When they were heading to the training site, they happened to encounter a bloody rain.

What's worse, there were no buildings around them to hide.

However, unlike the 24th base, the 26th base has a prison. The recruits are all top students in the military academy with good physical fitness, and a small number of them have strong bloodlines that can be transformed into beasts.

So after the initial panic, they, under the command of the instructor, launched an effective counterattack against the monsters in the bloody rain.

"This is my first time on the battlefield."

In addition to fear, Song Zehe's face was mixed with some uncontrollable excitement, "Although those monsters are scary, it feels really great to fight side by side with my teammates!"

As a new recruit who just graduated from the military academy, he has blood flowing in his body and has a natural yearning and pursuit for powerful strength. And fighting, especially the battle between life and death, is undoubtedly the most capable of making people grow rapidly.

He originally thought that he was just guarding prisoners on the prison planet and had no chance to go to the battlefield. Compared with those classmates who went to the front line, his future prospects would be much worse.

Unexpectedly, the prison planet is so dangerous!

"By the way, there was a battle in your 24th base as well? Is the situation okay?" Song Zehe asked.

However, before Su Ci could answer, he saw another face squeezed in on the screen besides Song Zehe.

"Xiao Song, who are you chatting with so happily? Did you hook up with some girl in the base as soon as you arrived?"

It was a tall young man wearing a reddish-brown guard uniform. The top button of the uniform was unbuttoned and exposed, and a hideous scar could be vaguely seen on his strong chest.

He hugged Song Zehe's shoulders and squeezed in front of the screen, and there were some people beside him making noises.

However, Song Zehe turned on the privacy mode, so Su Ci could see and hear him, but he could not see Su Ci, nor could he hear Su Ci's voice.

"What are you talking about?"

Song Zehe was a little embarrassed, muttering while helplessly canceling the privacy mode.

When the young man saw Su Ci on the other side of the screen, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he was stunned, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Haha, hello, are you also from our base? You look a little unfamiliar."

He laughed, and the people who were making a fuss next to him realized that it was a misunderstanding and quieted down, but because the time waiting in line was too boring, most people still listened with their ears erect.

"This is Su Ci from the 24th Base. I met him on the way to Hell Star." Song Zehe introduced, "Su Ci, this is our team leader, Chai Yue."

"Hello, hello, I'm Chai Yue!"

Chai Yue greeted with a smile, then realized something was wrong, looked at Su Ci carefully, and suddenly said, "Oh, you are the keeper of the nursery? No wonder..."

Su Ci was still wearing a gray-blue work uniform, and there was only one place on Hell Star where workers would wear clothes of this color, and that was the nursery of the 24th Base.

Chai Yue released his hand that was hugging Song Zehe's shoulder, and said seriously: "Su Ci, what is the situation at the 24th Base now? Are the casualties heavy? This bloody rain is quite tricky. The situation over there should not be very optimistic, right?"

There are more than 30 bases on Hell Planet, among which Base 24 is the most special, because there is no prison there, but there are two very special institutions - the nursery and the research institute.

These two institutions are two money-eating beasts, and money invested in them will only make a small profit, but they have to continue to invest, so Base 24 has no funds for construction, and I heard that they will not even recruit new soldiers this year.

Because Hell Planet has been stable for a long time, although monsters will still appear in extreme weather and attack people who stay outdoors, the action team already has enough people to deal with these situations, so there is no need to recruit more.

However, now, the situation has become different.

Even the heavily guarded 26th base suffered casualties this time, not to mention the 24th base whose defense capability was several levels lower than theirs.

Chai Yue guessed that the situation at the 24th base must be very bad now. Although they have not received any message requesting support for the time being, perhaps because the 26th base is within the range of the bloody rain, the friendly forces of the 24th base asked for help from other bases?

Facing his concerned inquiry, Su Ci thought for a moment and said, "It's not bad."

"Sure enough..."

Chai Yue didn't know if he had heard it wrong, he asked with a heavy face, "How many brothers died?"

Su Ci blinked, "I'm not sure."

It seems... no one died? At least he didn't sense the generation of death energy in the 24th base.

"That's right." Chai Yue glanced at Su Ci, his eyes swept over his fair, beautiful, and fragile face, "You are a keeper, I shouldn't ask you these questions."

After that, he said earnestly: "You should also pay more attention to safety, stay in the brooding house and don't go out. If you can't pass the probation period, forget it, your life is more important."

"Yes, yes!" Song Zehe heard this and nodded beside him, "I know you want to become a regular employee and want to stay in Hell Star, but now you understand the situation of Hell Star. If you have the opportunity to leave, you still have to seize it!"

He sent this video call to Su Ci, in addition to wanting to confirm his safety, mainly to remind him.

Even if Hell Star is very dangerous, as a soldier, it is his duty to fight monsters on the battlefield and guard the safety of the base.

However, Su Ci was different. He was just a weak breeder who had no ability to protect himself. There was no need for him to continue to stay in the Hell Star under such a difficult and life-threatening situation.

Hearing his words, Su Ci's eyes flickered slightly.

Why did Song Zehe feel that... he really wanted to stay in the Hell Star? Did he say anything to Song Zehe on the way to the Hell Star?

He couldn't remember any of this.

Although he wanted to ask, after looking at Chai Yue and listening to the noisy background noise on the opposite side, Su Ci knew that now was not a good time to ask.

He did not reject their kindness directly, but nodded and said, "Well, I'll pay attention."

"Song Zehe from the fourth group of the third guard team, please go to the infirmary for treatment."

At this time, the electronic broadcast of the medical department sounded, and Song Zehe's communicator also made a beeping prompt sound.

Finally, it was Song Zehe's turn. He needed to go for treatment. Under the urging of the electronic broadcast, he quickly said to Su Ci: "I'm going to treat my injuries. Let's talk later!"

Then, he ended the call.

Su Ci put away the communicator and suddenly lost interest in going out.

He looked at his hands. This is his body. He can confirm this, but why can't he remember other memories except those "common sense" that occasionally emerges in his mind?

He must have left this planet before, that's why he appeared on the spaceship and got the status of a breeder.

But as the spirit of the earth, he shouldn't be able to leave...

Su Ci slowly raised his head, as if he saw the sky through the ceiling, and the more distant horizon.

What is the world outside like?

Su Ci thought about it, stretched out his hand, and the intelligent computer on the coffee table in the living room disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared in his hand out of thin air.

"Su Ci, good afternoon, I am your wisdom elf, Xiaoqiu."

The spherical optical computer floated up from Su Ci's palm, with a childish voice, soft and cute.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Turn on the optical computer." Su Ci said.

"Okay."

A light screen popped up, showing the interface of the optical computer. In addition to the automatically synchronized address book, the optical computer naturally has other functions.

Su Ci explored it with some curiosity.

Although the application was locked, it only required facial recognition to unlock it. Even if Su Ci didn't remember the password, it was useless to him. The

desktop of the optical computer was set up cleanly and refreshingly. In addition to a communication application, there was only a memo and an application called "Star Network Community".

Su Ci clicked on the memo first, only to see a shopping list at the top of the memo.

[Supply preparation: 2 space buttons, 100 boxes of canned beef, 50 boxes of mixed canned food, 100 bags of dried jam berries, 100 bags of potato chips, 100 seasoning packets...]

Looking at this shopping list, Su Ci couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

All food! There was quite a lot of each.

Moreover, there were actually two space buttons... Su Ci searched carefully in the space button, and finally he really found the second one.

This second space button was also filled with food, almost all of which were food. Su Ci casually took out a bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips from it.

The vacuum-packed potato chips weighed about half a pound each, which was quite a large portion. When Su Ci opened the seal, the bag quickly swelled due to the air filling it, but the potato chips inside were still intact.

Su Ci pinched out a piece and tasted it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Although the potato chips were not as filling as the beef, they were crispy and delicious. He couldn't stop eating after eating one piece. He ate half a bag in one breath before continuing to browse the memo in the computer.

After exiting the shopping list, you can see a record of asset sales.

[For sale: A property in Capital Star for 12 million cosmic coins, a floating car for 100,000, two sets of furniture for 30,000...

Total: 12.93 million cosmic coins]

After reading it, Su Ci thought of something and returned to the shopping list. Then he scrolled to the bottom and found a total of 12.92 million cosmic coins.

The two space buttons cost the most, a total of 12.5 million.

Although I have no idea about human currency, when Shi Yjiang saw the space button, he said that he was quite rich, so these more than 10 million universe coins should be worth a lot of money.

And the remaining 400,000 were all used to buy supplies.

Su Ci pondered, opened the address book, and checked the previous chat records.

In addition to the chat window between him and Gu Qingchen, the last chat record stopped three months ago and was sent by a person named "Ye Shengliang".

Ye Shengliang: [Su Ci, are you really going to be a breeder on the Hell Star? 】

Su Ci: [Hmm]

Ye Shengliang: [I don't understand. I've never seen you like cubs so much before. Even if you really like them, there are so many nurseries in the Capital Planet, can't you just find one? The salary is not lower than that of the Hell Planet.]

Su Ci: [I must go]

Ye Shengliang: [Okay, I'll send you off tomorrow.]

Su Ci: [Hmm]

The conversation ended here. Su Ci flipped through the pages. There was not much content in their chat. The other party should be his friend, studying in the same school.

How strange.

He muttered, could it be that in his lost memory, he ran to the mortal world to play a human again? But this mortal world is on another planet? Just when

Su Ci wanted to continue exploring, a call request from 4586 came in.

As soon as he answered the phone, the energetic voice of the nanny robot sounded, "Susu, it's almost three o'clock, we have to start training!"

OK.

Although Su Ci could "see" every corner of the brooding building as long as he wanted, that was all.

The "common sense" that occasionally emerged in his mind was not omnipotent, and many things still needed him to learn and understand by himself.

So, Su Ci turned off the optical computer and asked A Yan to stay in the dormitory to continue practicing the divine text, while he left the dormitory and went to the lobby on the first floor to find 4586 Hui, and then visited the brooding building together.

After the efforts of the personnel at various posts in the 24th Base, by 8:00 p.m., except for the severely damaged buildings that needed to be repaired and some personnel who had not yet been purified and needed to be isolated for observation, the impact of the bloody rain had basically subsided.

"Captain Yan!"

Guan Zhishu walked into Yan Ping's office and handed him a folder, "This is Luo Shengfei's injury report and the on-site investigation data of the lobby on the first floor of the Logistics Department. Please take a look."

Yan Ping took the file and flipped through it.

Guan Zhishu continued, "According to the feedback from Team 2 and Team 3, they did not discover any new mental control features in the process of fighting the giant spider, nor did they hear any mumbling or laughter."

So it is basically certain that the monsters wandering around the logistics building at that time were not just giant spiders, and those mumbling and laughter were emitted by another monster.

Yan Ping nodded, and he slowly frowned as he flipped through the documents in his hand.

Noticing Yan Ping's expression, Guan Zhishu couldn't help but ask, "Captain Yan, have you found any problems?"

Yan Ping did not answer immediately, but asked, "You accompanied Xiao Luo and the others to the infirmary this morning. Did anything unusual happen on the way?"

Guan Zhishu thought for a moment and said, "Sergeant Xia Jingming from the research institute told me that the new keeper at the nursery had a suspicious wound on his hand. I asked him to investigate before I left."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Guan Zhishu then explained to him the whole story, including what Gu Qingchen said about Su Ci's small wound, although the concentration of pollutants was high, it was not detected by the instrument.

Yan Ping was thoughtful, "He said he was injured by spider silk?"

Guan Zhishu: "Yes."

Yan Ping: "The wound is very small?"

"Yes, it only hurt the fingertips." At this point, Guan Zhishu's tone became hesitant.

"Judging from the shape and size of the wound, it should be pierced by spider silk, but..."

What kind of situation would make the giant spider only pierce the fingertips of this keeper instead of piercing his entire finger?

Hearing Guan Zhishu's question, Yan Ping seemed to have the answer.

He handed her the information in his hand and said, "According to our initial conclusion, the giant spider let Xiao Luo escape because the action team arrived in time, but..."

"If you were a giant spider and had already tied up your prey completely, what would you do to abandon your prey and escape as quickly as possible?"

This question was easy to answer. Guan Zhishu subconsciously said, "I would choose to break the spider silk..."

Before she finished speaking, she was stunned.

When they arrived at the scene, there was clearly no spider silk left on Luo Shengfei's body, and no broken spider silk was found in the lobby on the first floor of the logistics department!

"So, Su Ci hid the silk of the giant spider, and was attacked when he touched it, so he had such a wound?"

This should be the complete truth.

The silk of the giant spider is extremely tough and contains a weak activity. After breaking, it still has a certain degree of offensiveness, but this offensiveness has been weakened a lot.

Of course, even if Su Ci hid the silk, it may be because of curiosity. Even if hiding pollutants does not comply with the base regulations, according to the level of the giant spider, if he is caught, at most his points for that month will be deducted, and he will not be punished too severely.

"Should we ask him?" Guan Zhishu said, "Although it's only a light red pollutant, he is in the nursery after all. If it affects the cubs..."

She didn't finish her words, but Yan Ping understood what she meant. However, he considered it more than she did.

The pollutants separated from the monsters are not something that anyone can touch at will.

These pollutants are generally highly contaminant. If they are picked up directly without any preventive measures, they are easily mentally polluted, which can cause emotional out-of-control at the least and organ abnormalities at the worst.

Of course, the pollution level of the giant spider's silk is not high, and the members of the action team have enough tolerance to withstand this level of erosion. But the problem is...

Su Ci is just an ordinary person, and a keeper who looks very fragile no matter his appearance, figure, or aura.

If he really hid the spider silk, how could he withstand the erosion of pollutants and appear to be no different from ordinary people? He was calm and self-contained, without the slightest fear, and he couldn't even show any other negative emotions, but he left a deep impression on him.

Or is this keeper gifted and naturally has a very high tolerance to pollution?

Thinking of Su Ci's gentle but firm, irresistible black eyes, and the way he placed the hand of cub No. 1 in his palm, Yan Ping couldn't help but doubt.

Is this keeper really as weak as he looks? I'm not talking about his character, but...

his strength.
