Chapter 28

Logistics Department Staff Dormitory.

Luo Shengfei had just returned to his room. His wounds had scabbed and fallen off under the healing of the medical cabin. Apart from a little uneven skin color, there were no sequelae.

Under the attack of the blood rain and the giant spider, the pollution he suffered had been purified to a low level. It would be no problem to undergo another purification tomorrow.

He put down the heavy tool box, opened it, and looked at the tools and parts inside that had become messy due to running and collision, and he couldn't help showing a look of heartache.

Fortunately, his tool box was strong enough, and the things inside were not damaged. After spending some time to tidy it up, he found two boxes of canned beef and carefully opened one of them.

The fragrant smell of beef immediately filled the room. He was about to enjoy the aroma of the meat when the communicator rang.

Nursery - Su Ci.

Luo Shengfei casually clicked to answer the call and said casually: "Keeper Su, good evening, I'm fine now, thank you for your concern!"

Su Ci said nothing: "..."

Should he show some concern?

However, before he could say anything, Luo Shengfei continued, "I'm eating the canned beef I exchanged from you this morning. What brand did you buy? Not only is the portion large, but it's also chewier than the ones supplied at the base, and it's delicious!"

He ate the beef while speaking, his voice a little unclear, "Can you send me the shopping link? I'll go back and buy it when I have a long vacation."

"... I'll go back and look for it." Su Ci said.

"Hey, then thank you for your help." Luo Shengfei nodded happily.

Then, Su Ci explained his purpose to him.

"Of course I can." Luo Shengfei pondered, "But... how about adding one more can? This is indeed a bit difficult..."

Su Ci: "...Okay."

Luo Shengfei: "Hahaha, fine, I'll find a way as soon as possible, you wait!"

After getting the exact answer, Su Ci ended the call, and at this time, nanny robot No. 4586 just flew out of room No. 3.

"Su Su, today's work is done! You can go back and rest!"

Then, before Su Ci left, the nanny robot did not forget to remind: "Su Su, you have to write a growth record for the babies today, don't forget."

Growth record?

Su Ci tilted his head slightly, and heard it say: "You've worked hard today! Please come to the kitchen on time at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning and help me prepare food for the cubs at 6 o'clock."

"A rich and healthy breakfast can replenish the energy consumed by the cubs during sleep and start a day full of energy. It is a very important time to eat!"

After saying the same words as yesterday, it emphasized again: "Su Su, you can't be late again tomorrow."

Su Ci...still said the same thing, if he can get up, he will definitely help.

-Room

303 of the nursery.

A Yan, who was left alone in the room, stayed obediently in the living room, lying on the coffee table, holding a signature pen that was a bit too big for him, and practicing the sacred text seriously.

In the clay can next to him, the spirit seed that had been shouting slogans since morning had quieted down and was quiet, as if it had fallen asleep.

When the child, who had been concentrating, heard the movement coming from the door, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the entrance.

Seeing the figure of the keeper appear at the door, his eyes lit up.

This afternoon, the keeper did not let him follow, so he had to devote all his attention to studying the divine text. Of course, he would still look at the door from time to time, hoping that the keeper would come back halfway.

Then, he has been waiting until now.

Seeing Su Ci finally come back, the child's face couldn't help but reveal joy, and he had no intention of studying at all.

A Yan put down his pen, turned slightly, and appeared directly at the entrance.

He took out a pair of indoor slippers from the shoe cabinet at the door, placed them neatly in front of the keeper, then tilted his head and looked at him eagerly.

Su Ci, who was originally going to go directly into the dormitory, looked at the clean floor in the dormitory, raised his eyebrows slightly, took off his work shoes, and asked, "Did you mop the floor?"

A Yan shook his head and pointed to the sweeping robot placed under the shoe cabinet.

Not long after the keeper left, the sweeping robot started working automatically. He took off his shoes and placed them in the cabinet, then changed into clean socks.

As for the slippers... the keeper's slippers were too big, and he would easily fall when walking in them.

Su Ci reached out and touched the top of his head, then walked into the room in slippers and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

A Yan nodded vigorously.

Not only did he make himself some nutrient solution, but after drinking it, he also put the cup in the dishwasher to wash and dry it, and then put it on the shelf.

The child looked like he was asking for praise, but unfortunately Su Ci didn't see it.

"Yeah." He responded and walked towards the living room.

A Yan was not disappointed and followed Su Ci happily.

Su Ci first looked at the spirit seed in the clay can, and seeing that it had been crying all day but hadn't broken the seed coat, he put the can aside with some disgust.

Then, he picked up the notebook that the child had placed on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa, and flipped through it casually.

Seeing the keeper checking his homework, the expression on A Yan's face suddenly restrained and became a little uneasy. He rubbed against the keeper and looked at him nervously.

On the notebook, the child's crooked handwriting filled several pages of white paper.

This handwriting is completely unreadable. The first page is like drawing a talisman. Each word is a twisted line and has no shape.

This is easy to understand. After all, at the beginning, A Yan couldn't even remember what the divine text looked like, so how could he copy it?

But on the second page, the situation improved rapidly.

When Su Ci turned to the last page, the idle expression on his face had completely restrained. He looked at the words on the paper that had begun to take shape and could vaguely feel a trace of spiritual power, and couldn't help but look at A Yan.

The child looked confused, as if he was still afraid that he would not do well, and there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

"Not bad." Su Ci put down the notebook and praised sincerely.

Hearing this, A Yan blinked, and then the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, and his eyes became sparkling, especially crystal-like and lovely.

Su Ci couldn't help it, and reached out to press his head again, rubbing it gently, but thinking of what 4586 said before he came back, he withdrew his hand and took out another notebook from the space ring.

A Yan took it ignorantly, and then heard the keeper say: "Growth diary, you know how to write it?"

He blinked, growth diary?

A Yan nodded hesitantly, he had seen the previous keeper write it, but even if he hadn't seen it, it shouldn't be difficult, right?

"Then go and write it." Su Ci said.

Hearing this, A Yan held the new notebook and obediently came to the tea table, picked up the signature pen again, and started writing while thinking.

Su Ci looked at his serious and obedient appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and saw that he was standing next to the coffee table and could only write while standing. After thinking for a while, he contacted 4586 with the communicator .

Not long after, the doorbell rang outside the dormitory.

Su Ci went to open the door, and A Yan couldn't help but look over curiously, and then saw the keeper walking back, followed by the nanny robot No. 4586.

The nanny robot pushed a suspended trolley.

When A Yan saw what was placed on the trolley, he was stunned. He saw that the trolley was actually...

a set of children's tables and chairs!

"Put it here." Su Ci pointed to the empty space next to the coffee table and said.

Because furniture is also an item with a very high scrap rate, there are also large reserves in the warehouse of the brooding house.

As a keeper, Su Ci has the authority to call for any materials in the warehouse. Whatever he takes, the intelligent computer will register it. As long as he is sure to convince the inspector, there will be no problem.

"Okay, Su Su." The nanny robot obeyed the order and put the tables and chairs in place.

A Yan watched its movements and unconsciously put down the signature pen in his hand.

So, 4586 scanned the signature pen that suddenly appeared on the coffee table, and then noticed that the coffee table seemed to be missing a corner.

Its electronic eyes blinked in confusion.

A Yan noticed its gaze, realized something, and quickly moved away from the coffee table and stood up straight.

4586: "..."

It stared at the corner of the coffee table that had reappeared, and then looked at the signature pen. Various scanned data analyses quickly emerged in its electronic eyes, but the final conclusion was that

this was just an ordinary, classic signature pen from an interstellar stationery chain store.

Moreover, the contamination level is close to 0.

The conditions for an alarm are: a cub goes crazy or the contamination level in the nursery is higher than the warning value.

"No abnormalities, over." The mechanical electronic sound rang, and then it switched to a soft and cute voice.

"Su Su, then I'll go back!"

"Okay."

So the nanny robot pushed the suspended cart and left room 303.

After it left, Su Ci looked at A Yan. The child's attention had long been attracted by this place, and after what happened just now, he didn't dare to pick up the pen again.

He looked at Su Ci timidly, wondering if the keeper would blame him for being careless and almost exposing his whereabouts in front of 4586.

However, Su Ci didn't care about what happened just now.

A Yan was originally a cub in the nursery. Wasn't it natural for him to appear in the nursery? His previous admonition to the child was just out of concern for the safety of the newborn creatures, hoping that he would be more cautious.

"Come and try." He waved to the child.

A Yan couldn't help but feel happy, and walked over with a pen and paper, sat down on the small chair, carefully placed the pen and paper on the table, and then put his palm on the smooth and shiny table and stroked it gently.

He also has his own table and chair!

This children's table and chair can naturally be adjusted in height. Just press the button and it will automatically adjust to the most suitable height.

"Is it okay?" Su Ci squatted beside him and asked.

A Yan nodded vigorously.

Su Ci: "Then continue writing."

A Yan: "Yes!"

So the child sat upright, picked up the signature pen, and continued to write his growth diary seriously.

He saw that the previous keeper had written it, so he just needed to write down in detail what he had done today.

Because he was writing in ordinary words, the child's handwriting suddenly became readable. Although it was unfamiliar and the pen strength was insufficient, it was still beautiful.

A-Yan was writing his diary seriously, and Su Ci went to get himself some food. He now had two space buttons for food, so he didn't need to worry about food for the time being, and he could eat half full at night.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, A-Yan finally finished writing his diary and handed it to Su Ci for inspection.

Su Ci scanned it line by line and found that the child knew quite a lot of words. He wrote down everything that happened after he got up this morning.

The child made many innocent remarks, which looked quite cute, especially the strong desire to protect him, which touched Su Ci a little.

He had never come into contact with a cub of this age, not even a newborn soul. He took in this child out of pity for his kind, and after discovering the child's talent, he wanted to train him to be a helper.

But he never thought about how much affection he should invest in this child.

Su Ci put the child's diary down, paused, and said, "You are still young, there is no need to rush to grow up."

Even though A Yan may be hundreds of years old, in the eyes of Su Ci, who has lived tens of millions of years, he is indeed just a little kid. A Yan

looked at him, the child who had always behaved very well, but this time he did not nod, he just lowered his head silently and stared at his toes.

Su Ci had no intention of forcing him to change his mind. After all, whether a child grows up or not is not something that can be determined by the child's subjective will.

"It's getting late, let's take a shower."

Ah Yan hummed obediently and turned to go to the bathroom, but...

"Flop!"

Somehow, the child's feet got tangled and he fell to the ground, falling flat on his face.

Su Ci picked him up with one hand, held him in his arms and looked at him, "Are you okay?"

A Yan, whose cheeks were only slightly red, was now completely red.

He covered his bumped nose and shook his head, then hugged the keeper's neck, buried his face in his neck, and secretly sniffed the pleasant smell on his body.

Although it was embarrassing to fall on the ground, it seemed that it was a good deal to get a chance to be intimate with the keeper...

A Yan thought with warm ears.

Su Ci felt the child's closeness, hesitated for a moment, and did not let him go.

He carried the child into the bathroom.

A Yan obediently let go of his hand, took off the cub's clothes, put it in the dirty clothes basket, and then slipped into the bathtub, waiting for the keeper to fill the water to bathe him.

"Wah la la -"

The clear water containing spiritual energy gushed out from the showerhead and fell on him, which was particularly comfortable.

Compared with last night, A Yan's body was much cleaner, so it was not difficult to wash. Su Ci squeezed shampoo on the child's head and wiped out fine and rich bubbles.

While washing his body, Su Ci's palms once again released a golden glow, combined with the spiritual energy contained in the water, to warm the child's spiritual body.

However, in just one day and one night, A Yan's body had undergone obvious changes.

Although he is still skinny and you can feel his bones with a light touch, he has more flesh and his skin has become more delicate, finally looking like a normal child.

The biggest reason for such a change, in addition to being well fed and clothed, and nourished by his soul power, is that he practiced the divine text today.

Learning the divine text can bring many benefits, but at the same time, it is a very exhausting thing, especially for a cub without any foundation.

What's more, A Yan's foundation is still so weak.

The current conditions are harsh, there are no elixirs, and no suitable natural treasures to nourish him. Only by combing and nourishing him every day, can A Yan's fragile soul withstand the backlash of the divine text.

A Yan didn't know that Su Ci was warming his body. He closed his eyes and felt his body become lighter. He felt as if he was floating in the air. Gradually, his consciousness became more and more blurred.

Finally, he tilted his head and fell asleep again on Su Ci's arm.

Su Ci also gathered his soul power, washed him clean with spiritual water, carried him into the drying room, and after coming out, he put on the shirt he wore yesterday and stuffed him into the quilt.

During this process, A Yan had been sleeping soundly. No matter how Su Ci struggled, he didn't seem to be awakened at all. He slept very soundly.

Su Ci rubbed his dry and fluffy hair and nodded with satisfaction.

Turning around and walking out of the bedroom, he did not take a shower. Instead, he glanced at the spirit seeds in the clay can, then came to the window, and the spirit body came out again.

Su Ci came to the yard and landed gently next to the spirit shield.

It rained during the day, and the ground in the yard was full of water, which contained a high concentration of pollutants. Under the blowing of the night wind, it continued to evaporate and diffuse.

The concentration of red mist at night is higher than that during the day, and now it has reached a level visible to the naked eye.

If an ordinary person stays in such an environment, it will not last long before his emotions are out of control, he will not be able to maintain his sanity, and he may even go crazy.

Fortunately, with the protection of the spirit shield, this piece of exposed land has not been eroded by the blood rain. It's just that the spirit seeds in the ground are a little unhappy and not in good spirits.

Su Ci poured some spiritual water on it and injected some soul power into the soil to promote the growth of the spiritual seeds.

Then, his spiritual consciousness probed deep into the ground and soon came to the underground river where the 24th base was pumping water.

The pollution in the underground river was much lighter than that on the ground, and scientists had developed a purification and filtration method, which allowed the daily water needs of the 24th base to be met.

Su Ci observed for a while, came to the pumping device of the 24th base, and casually laid a few palm-sized water purification arrays at the water inlet below the nursery.

The pumping device was pumping water almost every moment, and the water purification array was working non-stop. If it relied entirely on his soul power to work, it would naturally be impossible.

Fortunately, there is spiritual energy when there is purification.

After laying out the water purification array, Su Ci drew a small spirit gathering array, connected several water purification arrays together to form a self-circulation, so that even without his soul power, the water purification array can work normally.

With these water purification arrays, although it is inevitable that pollutants will be contaminated during the transportation process, the water used in the nursery will still be much cleaner.

Afterwards, Su Ci found the water pump under the cultivation garden and followed the same method.

After doing all this, he withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

After arranging the last spirit gathering array under the spirit cover, his figure disappeared from the spot and returned to the dormitory again. After

taking a bath, drying, and throwing the dirty clothes into the washing machine, Su Ci returned to the bedroom, lay down in the quilt, and held the sleeping child in his arms.

It's warm and soft, and it's a really nice pillow.

Tonight, there are no noisy children in the brooding center - No. 2 and No. 4 are still in the medical purification area, and No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8, who love to make noises the most, have fallen asleep early under the effect of sedatives and Su Ci's comfort .

No. 3 doesn't talk at all, and doesn't make noise. As for No. 5... the little girl hid in the quilt and cried until she fell asleep. It

's rare for the night in the brooding center to be so quiet.

Su Ci sighed comfortably, rested his head on the soft pillow, emptied his mind, and fell into a deep sleep. The night was peaceful. Room 303 was dark, and all the lights were off. In the darkness, only the work manual that Su Ci had casually placed on the coffee table in the living room, in a corner where no one was paying attention, slowly lit up with a light red light. The light was very weak at first, flickering, and each time it flickered, the light became stronger, until... the clock on the wall just jumped to 5:00 in the morning. The book lying quietly on the coffee table suddenly flew into the air by itself, then disappeared from the spot, and when it reappeared, it had already arrived in the bedroom. The work manual opened automatically, and a line of light red small words appeared on the white paper. [The first rule of the diet chapter of the "Keepkeeper's Work Manual": Keepers must get up at five in the morning to prepare breakfast for the cubs. ]

When the last period appeared, the whole manual glowed brightly, and the light red fluorescence fell on the sleeping figure on the bed.
