Chapter 62
In the nutrient cellar, No. 4 opened his eyes, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
He was surrounded by a solution like water, and in front of him, there seemed to be a figure emitting a light golden light...
The man looked at him gently, and when he saw the figure, for some reason, he felt an endless sense of intimacy in his heart.
Who is that?
No. 4 tried hard to see clearly, but when he opened his eyes wide, the first thing he saw was a strange man standing outside the small glass window, wearing white clothes and glasses.
The boy finally realized his current situation.
Where is this place? What is this person going to do to him?
The boy's emotions suddenly became excited. He struggled to tear off the components attached to his body, and the wires connected to various parts of his body broke and fell off.
As he pulled, the oxygen supply tube also broke. No. 4 felt suffocated. The instinct for survival made him hold his breath subconsciously and began to hit the nutrition bin.
The alarm in the laboratory sounded immediately.
At the sound of the alarm, Ren Yufei's face turned very ugly. Seeing that the glass of the nutrient warehouse was about to be broken by No. 4, he had no choice but to order: "Open the door."
"Yes!"
Under the control of the assistant researcher, the glass door of the nutrient warehouse slowly opened from the middle, and the solution that filled the entire nutrient warehouse also flowed down as the door opened.
The water rushed down, and No. 4's young body fell to the ground.
He was soaked all over, his hair was soaked, and the white lab coat he was wearing was tightly attached to his skin.
The moment he fell to the ground, the boy rolled on the ground, like a beast, and his brown eyes looked around vigilantly.
After leaving the nutrient barn, there is a separate small room surrounded by very thick metal walls, with only a small glass window exposed for researchers to check the situation in the room.
Number Four stared at the small window, bared his teeth fiercely, rushed over, and punched the glass on the window with his fist.
"Let me out!" He roared angrily.
Looking at the violent and manic look of the boy on the window, Ren Yufei was not worried that he could destroy the special glass, but his face was not good.
The cubs in the nursery are really too difficult to control!
He pressed the button on the control panel, and a voice suddenly rang out in the small room: "Number Four, calm down. I know your blood power is not frenzied."
He had the most detailed information and data. He knew that the child in front of him could still communicate with words, and he was also very clear about the character and weaknesses of this cub, Number Four.
"With your ability, you can't smash this glass. You will only hurt yourself in the end."
However, after hearing his voice, Number Four did not stop, but continued to hammer the glass with a more violent posture. Even if his fingers were broken and bleeding, he could not stop.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
For a while, there was only the sound of violent hammering in the room.
Su Ci looked at the child, then at Dr. Ren, who was standing in front of the control panel with an indifferent face. After thinking for a while, he glanced at the glass.
A ray of golden light flashed from the bottom of his eyes.
"Bang——"
With a crisp cracking sound, the solid glass, with the boy's fist as the center, spread out in a spider web shape.
The indifference on Dr. Ren's face was replaced by surprise. The next second, the boy's fist directly broke the most vulnerable point on the glass!
Because of the material problem, all the glass fragments stuck together and did not splash to the ground to cause secondary damage. However, the lion-eared boy with a face full of hostility had already rushed out of the small room and threw directly at Ren Yufei.
"Doctor!"
The assistant researcher was horrified, and Ren Yufei was unable to dodge. His legs were tripped by the boy's whip-like lion tail. After falling to the ground, he was pinched by the boy's hands like pliers around his fragile neck.
All this happened too quickly. Before the alarm sounded, No. 4 had successfully controlled Ren Yufei.
The boy's eyes were red, staring at the man under him with hatred, and he opened his mouth and bit down at his throat.
But before he tore the man's flesh and blood, Ren Yufei finally spoke in time: "No. 5!"
The boy's teeth had already bitten through his skin, but after hearing the man's voice clearly, he finally did not continue biting.
Su Ci, who was half-crouching on the side, unexpectedly withdrew his soul power.
He looked at the lion-eared boy lying on the man. His hands were still on Ren Yufei's neck, but his head slowly lifted up and moved away from Ren Yufei.
Two blood holes were bitten on Ren Yufei's neck, and blood seeped out. If it was a little bit more, his trachea might have been bitten directly.
The boy's brown eyes, which had turned into beast pupils, stared at Ren Yufei intently. Under the stimulation of blood, fine hair grew on his face, and his beastly features were obviously intensified.
However, in his eyes, bestiality and humanity began to compete fiercely.
The boy growled in pain, and blue veins popped up on his neck, but he never let go of the hand that was pinching Ren Yufei's neck.
Ren Yufei's face flushed because he was holding his breath. He tightly grasped the boy's hand, and no sound came out of his throat.
"Doctor!" The assistant researcher pressed the alarm frantically, but did not dare to go up to rescue him.
Just when he thought that Ren Yufei was doomed this time, the beast in the eyes of the lion-eared boy gradually faded, and before Ren Yufei was about to suffocate to death, he finally let go of his hand.
The pupils turned back to the perfect round shape of humans, but the hatred in the boy's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Where's my sister?"
He grabbed Ren Yufei's collar and roared at him angrily. His childish voice was full of anger, like a trapped beast tied with iron chains. It had clearly broken through the cage, but could not retaliate against the humans who imprisoned him.
"Dr. Ren!"
The guards finally rushed in, and they raised their guns and aimed at No. 4, projecting spots of light onto the boy, aiming at the vital parts of his body.
Noticing this situation, Ren Yufei didn't care about the discomfort.
He shouted at the top of his lungs: "No one is allowed to move! Put down your guns!"
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment, but finally obeyed the order and put down their guns.
Even though he was almost strangled to death by the teenager, Ren Yufei still looked at No. 4 without any dissatisfaction, and even with a kind of morbid doting.
"Good boy, are you awake?" He looked at No. 4's eyes that were staring at him, and he had actually made a judgment in his heart.
Although No. 4 was able to break the special glass, which was beyond his expectation, he was still very satisfied with the result.
"Where's my sister!"
No. 4 grabbed his collar and asked repeatedly.
Ren Yufei slightly bent his lips and showed a gentle smile, "Good boy, let me go first..."
"Bang!"
Number 4 hit Ren Yufei's head hard with both hands, and the back of his head hit the ground hard, making a dull sound, which made the assistant researchers and guards nearby unable to help but move forward.
However, Ren Yufei, who was in great pain and dizziness, did not forget to raise his hands to stop them.
Number Four had grabbed his collar again, staring at him with sharp eyes, and his low voice was full of hatred and violence, "I'll ask you one last time, where is my sister!"
Ren Yufei rubbed the back of his head, trying to calm the severe pain, curled his lips and smiled, and said, "If you still want to see her again, then the most important thing you should do now is to cooperate with us and complete the next experimental project."
Number Four stared at him coldly, "Give my sister back to me, otherwise, I will kill you!"
The young man with a pair of lion ears had a voice full of cold murderous aura, which made people have no doubt about the authenticity of his threat.
The guards raised their guns again. Although Dr. Ren had ordered them not to do anything, they would be blamed if something really happened to Dr. Ren. Once No. 4 really took action, they would definitely shoot.
"Calm down, don't be so excited."
Ren Yufei was very calm. He endured the pain and continued to deal with the boy. "If you want to see No. 5, I can bring her here, but... can you bear to let her leave the brooding house with you?"
As he said this, he called the base's intelligent computer, and after quickly verifying the authority, he called up the picture of Room 404 of the brooding house.
The little girl had climbed down from the bed and was lying on her small table, drawing on paper with a paintbrush. Her hair was still messy, but from the picture, her mood should have stabilized.
Number Four looked at the surveillance footage, and his hand that was tightly grasping Ren Yufei's collar loosened unconsciously.
"Sister..."
the boy looked at the screen and murmured.
Just at this moment, the little girl who was drawing with her head down raised her head as if she had sensed something and glanced in the direction of the camera.
In the surveillance footage, the little girl with a pair of lion ears had a pair of red and swollen brown eyes. It was obvious that she had just cried, and even the tip of her nose was red. The
young boy's face immediately showed a distressed look, "Sister...sister, she's crying...I want to see her! She needs me!"
Seeing that Number Four's emotions were agitated again, Ren Yufei coughed violently and then nodded.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! If you want to see her, you can. I'll go to the brooding house to pick her up now!"
Although the institute had no authority to do so, Ren Yufei knew very well how to soothe No. 4's emotions, and he also knew what to say to guide No. 4 to make the "correct" choice.
Sure enough, No. 4's agitated emotions calmed down again. He stared at Ren Yufei coldly for a while, and when he looked up at the surveillance screen, the little girl had lowered her head again, lying quietly on the table and continuing to paint.
No. 5 was raised by No. 4 himself.
When he came to the brooding house, he was only four years old, and No. 5 was less than a year old, still a little baby lying in the crib, who could only crawl.
He holds his sister to sleep every day, teaches her to stand, walk, and talk... The two siblings grew up together and depend on each other in the nursery.
In the eyes of No. 4, No. 5 is the most well-behaved and lovely sister in the world, and the most important relative to him in this world. His biggest wish is to let his sister live the life she wants happily.
He doesn't want to see her cry. When she cries, he will feel uncomfortable.
Although she will be locked in the house in the nursery, it is where she grew up. There is her favorite nanny robot, and she can go to the activity room to play with toys every day. She can also stay in the room and draw with peace of mind.
If I was taken to this strange place...
No. 4 raised his head, his eyes swept over the faces of those guards who were staring at him warily and were full of defense against him, and finally fell on Ren Yufei's face.
The man's face was full of seriousness and self-righteous friendliness, as if as long as he nodded, he would immediately go to the brooding house to pick up No. 5.
No. 4 felt extremely disgusted and nauseous. He raised his fist and punched Ren Yufei in the face without hesitation.
The punch was solid and made a loud thud.
Ren Yufei finally couldn't maintain his composure this time. He covered his mouth and curled up in pain. Seeing this, the guards and assistant researchers showed toothache on their faces.
As for No. 4, his expression had returned to calm.
He stood up and looked at Ren Yufei indifferently, without a trace of pity in his eyes, and even raised his foot and kicked him hard!
Amid Ren Yufei's wailing, the guards came to their senses and hurried forward to pull Ren Yufei away. As for No. 4, they did not dare to move for the time being because of Ren Yufei's order.
Ren Yufei finally recovered. He spat out a mouthful of blood foam on the ground, which was mixed with a tooth - No. 4 actually broke one of his front teeth!
He forced himself to endure it, turned his head and said to the assistant researcher beside him: "Go to the nursery..."
Because of the broken front tooth, he spoke a little leaky.
"No need." No. 4 said in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to disturb my sister!"
No. 4 didn't know this place well, and he was not sure that he could get out by his own strength. If he pulled No. 5 in, he would have no way to guarantee the safety of the two.
If No. 5 stayed in the brooding house, he would still be used by these strange adults to capture him, but at least he would not be actually harmed.
At least, after he found a way to escape, he could still look for her, and during this time, she could live a stable life without having to worry and be nervous with him.
So, after careful consideration, No. 4 made a decision.
"If you want me to cooperate with you, I can, but I want to see my sister's image every day!"
No. 4 clenched his fists tightly. Because he had just smashed the glass window, his hands were also bloody, but he seemed unconscious and did not show any weakness.
"Yes, of course you can!" Ren Yufei smiled, but when he realized that his teeth were broken, he closed his mouth again.
"Ask again, do you really not need to take No. 5 over?" He knew that No. 4 was a good brother, and the more he didn't want to mention No. 5, the more he had to mention it.
"No need!"
No. 4 roared at him and bared his teeth fiercely.
Ren Yufei knew that if it wasn't for No.5, the boy would have bitten off his neck without hesitation. Fortunately... it was No.4 who awakened his superpowers.
This child had a weakness that the other cubs didn't have.
"Then let's heal the wound first."
Ren Yufei tried to show a friendly side. After all, there were still a series of experiments to be done. The more cooperative the child was, the smoother their progress would be.
"Don't worry, our experiments will not cause harm to you. All experiments will be carried out under the premise of ensuring your safety. Of course, if there is an accident, we are equipped with the most advanced medical cabin in the entire star, which can ensure that 99% of injuries can be cured!"
Next, Ren Yufei needs to find out the cause of the child's ability to manipulate objects. Whether it is because of Hongwu's awakening or because No. 4 has two kinds of blood power, it is very valuable for research.
"In fact, cooperating with me will also benefit you."
Ren Yufei said seriously, "Your current level of frenzy is too high. If you continue to develop, once you pass the critical value, you may completely lose your mind and become a real beast."
How could he not consider the situation described by Gu Qingchen?
The purpose of the restart of the brooding center is to cultivate "super warriors" who have both blood power and awakened superpowers. After finding a model that can stably stimulate the birth of superpowers in cubs, it will be promoted to other beast-blood cubs.
Therefore, he can't let these cubs become irrational beasts.
However, based on the Cub Protection Act, the research institute cannot interfere with the work of the brooding center at will. What's more, they are engaged in research, and many of them don't even have a family, let alone raising children.
Therefore, the breeding of cubs still has to be handed over to professionals. Unfortunately, the progress in this area is not satisfactory.
The increasingly manic personalities of the cubs make Ren Yufei feel worried. He knows that if this continues, this project is likely to fail.
Fortunately, No. 4 gave him hope and brought a turnaround for the project, so no matter what, he couldn't let No. 4 get into trouble!
He looked at the boy and said earnestly and cruelly: "When you become a beast without any reason, your feelings for No. 5 will disappear. When facing her, you will only want to eat her and fill your stomach with her..."
"Shut up!"
The boy roared like a lion again. He was furious and irritable, and even his eyes were red with anger, but it can be seen that he was trying his best to control himself.
Ren Yufei knew that No. 4 took his words to heart. So, he was afraid.
He was very satisfied with the effect.
"Take him back to the room and treat him." Ren Yufei said to the guard beside him.
The two guards stepped forward hesitantly. As they were on full alert, No. 4 did not attack them, but stood still.
"No. 4?" Ren Yufei looked at him.
The boy, who was only eight years old this year, seemed to be covered with sharp thorns. Anyone who approached would be stabbed and bleeding. The domineering and brutality of a lion had already begun to take shape, but... No. 4 clenched his fists tightly.
If he really turned into a beast, then No. 5...
In the end, the boy could only force himself to take a step forward and follow the guards to the room arranged for him by the research institute.
And Ren Yufei, after breathing a sigh of relief, finally closed his eyes and passed out.
Everyone was busy carrying Dr. Ren and rushing him to the hospital for treatment. Only Su Ci, who was watching the whole process, didn't notice anything.
He flashed and appeared in Room 4.
When the guard was about to treat his wound, the boy suddenly went crazy, snatched the medical spray, and then drove the two guards out.
At this moment, the boy was curled up in the corner, spraying medicine on his hands. His lonely back was forbearing and stubborn.
Su Ci couldn't help but sigh.
How come none of these cubs are worry-free?
"Who is it?" At this time, Number 4 raised his head sharply and looked around the room.
Su Ci looked at him with a little curiosity. This little lion cub could actually find him. He was indeed a good seedling, but his temper was as explosive as that of a little tiger.
However, he was better than No. 2 because he had a sister. He had much more humanity in his heart than the little tiger.
No. 4 stood up and looked around the room, but found nothing.
Was it his illusion?
He sat down in the corner again, thought for a while, and whispered, "You helped me just now, right?"
Although he was very unwilling, No. 4 knew that Ren Yufei was not wrong. With his ability, he would definitely not be able to break the glass window.
The reason why he was able to do this...
Number Four recalled the feeling just now. At the moment when he hit the glass window for the second to last time, he found that the glass he hit had become very fragile.
The person who was bathed in light golden light when he first woke up appeared in front of his eyes. Could it be that person? Who is that person? Why should he help him?
Su Ci looked at him quietly and did not respond.
Although he could bring Number Four back, what about after he brought him back? Just thinking about it would tell you that there would be a lot of trouble.
Su Ci thought indifferently, and his figure became more and more illusory.
But in the end, before completely disappearing, his fingertips moved lightly, and the light golden light flew towards the young man in the corner of the wall and merged into his brow.
Blessing of the Earth Spirit: Protects the blessed from disasters for a short period of time.
When the golden light disappeared between the boy's brows, the young man's eyes opened again in the suspended bus.
A Yan, who was sitting next to him and had been secretly paying attention to him after his spirit left, finally put away his worried look.
Su Ci noticed his reaction, slightly curled his lips, and reached out to touch his head.
Outside the car window, the sky was filled with light red clouds. It was obviously darker than when they just went out. The wind gently rolled up the remaining clouds, and it looked very peaceful.
The suspended bus continued to drive, and had already left the scope of the research institute, and soon took them back to the nursery.
Su Ci took A Yan off the bus.
When he looked back, the little monkey hiding on the top of the floating bus had disappeared. However, with the mark he left, it would not be difficult to find the little monkey.
He did not care. After returning to the nursery, Su Ci called the nanny robot and handed it the 13 star chain fruits given by the nursery, asking it to distribute them to the children.
4586 took out a folding basket and put the fruits in it. "What great fruits! The babies will definitely be very happy after receiving them."
However, after some calculations, 4586's electronic voice sounded in some confusion: "Su Su, is there one missing?"
No. 1 does not need to be distributed. There are 7 cubs left, so there should be a total of 14 fruits - of course, if number 4 is not counted, then there is one more fruit.
However, Su Ci shook his head and said seriously: "There are two others and one for number six, which is just right."
