Chapter 31
It was already half past nine when Su Ci left the dormitory.
He took out a half-pound bag of vacuum-packed potato chips from the second space button, unwrapped it, tasted a piece, and found that the bag was spicy.
Not bad, not bad, it would be even better if it was paired with a little wine.
Of course, conditions are limited now, and you can't be too picky.
Su Ci pinched out potato chips one by one and stuffed them into his mouth, then walked slowly into the elevator and came to the activity room on the second floor.
As expected, he was late again today, and as soon as he ran into 4586, he was met with its strong condemnation.
"Su Su, you're late again!"
The soft and energetic voice of the robot nanny sounded cute, but with the little yellow flower on its head, it didn't have any intimidation at all.
Su Ci nodded calmly, stuffed another piece of potato chips into his mouth, and then glanced inside the activity room.
The first thing he saw was number three in the corner.
This beautiful child who was invisible stayed quietly in the corner, alone, without any noise or trouble, as if he was a world of his own.
In stark contrast to his quiet corner were the two children who were fighting next to him.
Obviously, 4586 had just noticed this.
"Qiqi, Baba, separate quickly, good kids can't fight!"
The nanny robot was immediately terrified.
It immediately left Su Ci behind, no longer bothering about his lateness, and quickly flew into the activity room. A pair of mechanical arms stretched out, forcibly separating the two cubs who were fighting each other.
The two children who were fighting were number seven and number eight.
The beastial features of these two cubs were not obvious. One had deer antlers and the other had a wolf tail. After being separated, they did not continue to fight.
Obviously, they were still rational and did not enter a frenzy.
"The young master took a fancy to that toy first!"
After being forced to separate, number eight put one hand on his waist and pointed at number seven with the other, saying angrily.
The bruises and bumps on the boy's face had almost healed, and it was no longer as miserable as last night, but there were a few clear bite marks and scratches on his cheeks.
The old wounds have not healed yet, and new ones have been added, but he did not care too much. Instead, he wanted the toy he had set his eyes on, or rather, the toy that was stolen.
Judging from the numbers, No. 7 should have arrived at the brooding house earlier than No. 8, but his age is about the same as No. 5, about five or six years old.
This child with silver-white hair has a pair of clear and bright deer eyes, as dark as the night sky, but with a hint of blue.
He is relatively petite, especially when standing next to No. 8, who is well-developed and stronger than ordinary children, he looks even smaller.
However, when facing No. 8, this child with deer antlers, who should be a herbivore in prototype, is not afraid at all.
He held tightly a long tube-like object that looked like a flute in his arms. Even though he was beaten by No. 8 and his eyes were bruised, he did not let go.
Hearing what No. 8 said, the child snorted heavily and mocked: "You don't know how to play, it's a waste to give it to you! Big stupid wolf!"
Although he was about the same age as No. 5, he spoke much more eloquently than the little girl. Even when he snatched No. 8's toy, he looked as if it was a matter of course.
There was even obvious contempt in his eyes when he looked at No. 8.
Being despised by him, No. 8's face turned red with anger, and the tail that fell behind the little boy, which was originally fluffy, exploded directly.
"What do you care whether the master can play or not!"
He pointed at No. 7 angrily, "I got this toy first. According to the rules, it is mine today! Give the toy back to me!"
No. 8 said, and took a few steps back when 4586 was not paying attention. Then he rolled on the ground, and actually passed through the blind spot of the nanny robot, and jumped up again to knock No. 7 down.
His speed was too fast, and No. 7 didn't react at all. However, he didn't surrender. Instead, he fell on his back with the flute in his arms, kicked up his legs, and kicked No. 8 in the stomach.
Unfortunately, No. 8 was prepared.
He blocked with his arms and successfully prevented No. 7's deer kick. Then he stretched out his long arms and directly strangled the child's neck.
A fierce light flashed in the young boy's green eyes, and he opened his mouth to bite the child's fragile throat——
"Number Eight."
The young man's gentle and peaceful voice suddenly sounded from the activity room. Number Three in the corner raised his head, and Number Eight, who was about to bite through Number Seven's throat, stopped.
This voice...
Number Eight blinked, and a corner of his heart was touched.
In a daze, the bloodthirsty ferocity in his eyes dissipated. Although his lips had already touched the delicate and fragile skin on Number Seven's neck, his teeth did not continue to bite.
It is hard to imagine whether Number Seven would die if he bit down, and whether he would completely lose his humanity and become a real beast after tasting the blood of the same kind.
The originally extremely dangerous scene suddenly had a gap.
Number 7 was lying on the ground, his body was firmly restrained, his neck was stuck, and although Number 8 did not bite him off, he still felt the pain of suffocation.
Just when his eyes began to blacken and his limbs became weak, and he really felt the approach of death...
the hands that were strangling his neck suddenly let go of him.
Number 7 breathed fresh air again, and the distorted and dizzy scene in front of his eyes gradually returned to normal. Then, he saw a strange scene -
Number 8, who had always been well-developed in limbs and simple in mind, was actually picked up by the collar and lifted up with one hand by the new, thin and weak-looking breeder.
This was a very funny and absurd scene.
Number 7 thought he must be dreaming, he tried to open his eyes wide to see clearly, but the dizziness kept surging, and he finally rolled his eyes and really fainted.
But it was obvious that the scene that No. 7 saw before he fainted was not an illusion.
No. 8, who was grabbed by the collar and lifted up, was also confused. Just as he was about to wave his limbs and struggle, he heard that familiar voice ringing in his ear leisurely.
"Were you kissing him just now?"
Su Ci looked at the child on the ground and confirmed that his life was not in danger, then he continued to say to No. 8, "You two have a really good relationship."
What the hell? !
No. 8 suddenly forgot about the struggle.
His face turned red, and he glared at the keeper who came to his side at some point, and roared angrily: "How could the young master kiss him? Which eye of yours saw that we have a good relationship?"
Slander! This is a very serious slander!
Su Ci saw that his eyes had returned to normal, so he loosened his collar.
This little wolf, who had clearly helped him comb and suppress part of his blood power yesterday, almost got into trouble today...
Ah Yan is still the best, he is obedient and worry-free.
And 4586, who finally reacted, rushed over and picked up No. 7 who had fainted on the ground.
The child leaned softly in the arms of the nanny robot, his face was pale, and there were obvious red marks on his slender neck, which were pinched by No. 8.
With his eyes tightly closed, the contempt and ridicule on his face were gone. The child, who was already cute and delicate, showed a fragile and pitiful side, which made him particularly lovable.
The flute that he held tightly in his hand also loosened because of the exhaustion of its owner. It fell to the ground with a plop, and then rolled to the feet of No. 8.
The young boy who wanted to quarrel with Su Ci looked down at the flute, then looked at No. 7 who was dizzy, and suddenly calmed down.
The electronic eyes of 4586 emitted light and scanned the child.
"Asphyxiation and lack of oxygen have caused coma, but it is not life-threatening. The neck is strangled and the corners of the eyes are bruised and bleeding. You can use K143U medical spray to treat it. Over."
After the mechanical voice finished speaking, 4586 switched to a cute voice again, "Oh my, Qiqi is fainted. You need to treat the baby immediately!"
Then, 4586 took out a bottle of medical spray from the machine and sprayed it on the neck and eyes of No. 7.
Hearing the diagnosis, No. 8 beside him was obviously relieved, but when he noticed that the keeper was looking at him, he immediately got angry again.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen people fighting?" The young boy bent down and picked up the flute at his feet, and said stubbornly, "Who told him to snatch my toy? He deserves it!"
Although he said so, his eyes kept glancing at No. 7.
After helping No. 7 with first aid, 4586 handed the activity room to Su Ci, and then took the child back to the room.
Seeing No. 7 being taken away, No. 8's furry tail drooped down. He shook the flute in his hand and suddenly felt very bored.
However, Su Ci was watching from the side, and he couldn't throw away the toy he had just snatched back, so he had to continue holding it in his hand and playing with it weakly.
But soon, he sniffed and thought he smelled something very fragrant, like edible food...
At this time, there were only two cubs in the activity room, him and No. 3.
When 4586 carried No. 7 away, No. 3 had already lowered his head again and continued to play with his metal ball, looking like he had lost interest in the outside world.
Su Ci looked around and asked, "Where are No. 5 and No. 6?"
Hearing this, No. 8's attention was diverted. He pouted and said, "No. 5 doesn't want to come out to play, and No. 6 is still sleeping." During
the daily activity time, the cubs were not forced to come out, but usually the cubs didn't like to stay in the room. When they were allowed to go out, they ran out happily.
It was rare for someone like No. 5 to refuse to go out.
"Someone actually doesn't like to go out and play, and wants to stay in the room. No matter how 4586 calls her, she won't listen. When I go to call her, she's even more aggressive. Don't you think she's weird?"
Number 8 had completely forgotten that Su Ci had just lifted him up by his collar, and was complaining to him in a muttered voice.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and said excitedly to Su Ci, "It must be because you didn't bring Number 4 back yesterday, so she's unhappy!"
It must be said that although Number 8 has a carefree personality, his intuition is still quite sharp.
Su Ci shrugged his shoulders, and he didn't feel any psychological burden for bullying the little girl and making her cry yesterday.
When No. 8 started looking for the source of the fragrance again, he looked at the flute in the child's hand and asked, "Haven't you played with this thing before?"
At the same time, in the cultivation garden of the 24th base,
Wu Yunqin and her assistant were changing the water for the soilless cultivated vegetables. The work in the cultivation garden has basically been mechanized, and the work of changing water does not require the two of them to do it themselves.
She looked at the crops in the re-cultivation container with a worried look.
