Chapter 74

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Langze lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly and looked at No. 5 beside him.

Just now in the activity room, he vowed that he would help rescue No. 4 only after making a deal with the breeder. Unexpectedly, he was so straightforward this time, which made the little wolf cub at a loss.

But No. 5 didn't look at him. After Su Ci said to follow him, her eyes lit up and she quickly followed behind her.

This demon breeder is so strong. He said he could save his brother, so he should be able to do it, right?

After walking a few steps, Su Ci stopped again and looked back at the planting area of ​​the small spirit buds and the star chain fruit vines, and A Yan, who was digging a hole with a shovel, also turned his head to look here. Su

Ci gestured in the direction of the door.

Ah Yan understood what he meant and couldn't help grinning. He quickly put the shovel back into the space button, clapped his hands, and flashed to Su Ci's side.

As for the three cans of spiritual water, they were placed under the spiritual shield. With the protection of the spiritual shield, it would not be too late to plant them when he returned.

Attracted by Su Ci's gaze, No. 5 also looked in that direction. She didn't see Ah Yan, but she saw the small spiritual buds and the green tips of the star chain fruit vine.

She was attracted at the first sight.

This was the first time No. 5 saw a growing plant, and of course, the mud under her feet was also the first time she saw it.

She was filled with infinite curiosity, but it was more important to rescue her brother now, so she quickly retracted her gaze and looked up at the keeper.

"Let's go."

Su Ci put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly towards the door of the nursery.

Looking at the keeper's back, the little wolf cub suddenly realized - wow! So he can go out with him? This is the first time he has walked out of the nursery by himself!

The boy shook his big tail and jumped towards the door.

He was like a big dog without a leash. After he came outside, he started running wildly with excitement. However,

when he passed the keeper, he heard the keeper's voice faintly: "Don't run too far."

The little wolf cub, who was excited and running around, was suddenly tied up by an invisible rope. When he was about to rush out of the door of the nursery, he stopped and looked back at the young man in the distance.

Number Five was short and had short legs, and her physical fitness was not very good, but... she found that if she walked a little faster, she could catch up with the keeper! As Number Seven said, the keeper walked slowly.

As she thought so, the little wolf cub couldn't help but run on the spot, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

He looked at the world outside the nursery, and then looked at Su Ci who was walking slowly towards him. He didn't dare to run out like this, so he had to run back.

The young boy was so anxious that he kept wagging his tail. He stretched out his hand to push the keeper's back, and finally took it back in frustration. He only dared to run around him, urging him anxiously.

Seeing him running in circles and wagging his tail, Su Ci felt that this child was more like a dog than a wolf.

Seeing the young boy's lively and energetic appearance, he felt that his mood was getting better and better. Of course, the young man still looked sluggish and lazy, as if he could never get enough sleep.

Finally, he came to the stop of the suspended bus at a leisurely pace.

During this time, the active little wolf cub had already run back and forth for no less than dozens of times, but he still looked so energetic and full of vitality.

Even A Yan was a little envious.

He looked at his thin arms and legs. Standing next to No. 5, he was even a little shorter, which made A Yan a little frustrated.

When will he be able to grow taller and stronger?

At this time, he felt the young man's hand fall on his head and rub his furry ears - the keeper seemed to have gotten used to it and liked to rub his ears whenever he had nothing to do.

A Yan did not resist this at all, and even felt that creating this pair of ears was one of the most correct things he had ever done.

The child squinted his eyes and rubbed the palm of the young man's hand affectionately with his ear. The frustration and sadness just now were all swept away, and his mood became cheerful.

"What are we doing standing here?" Little Langze asked.

In fact, he couldn't stand at all and had already circled the station several times. Although there was nothing to see, Little Langze just felt that everything was new.

This was his first time walking out of the nursery.

It was not like he was injected with sedatives after going berserk and then was sent to the medical purification center on a stretcher, nor was he escorted back on a teleporter after his injuries healed.

Instead, he really walked out of the nursery with his own legs when he was conscious.

The little wolf wanted to run wildly and howl a few times, but when he saw the keeper, he could not howl anymore.

He always felt that if he howled too loudly, he would wake up the scary keeper from last night, although the keeper was not asleep now.

But overall, he was still very happy!

"Wait for the bus." Su Ci responded casually, and then he heard the little girl beside him timidly say, "Then... where are we going now..."

The little girl with a pair of lion ears spoke softly, and when Su Ci lowered his eyes to look at her, she shrank back, not like the ferocious little lion cub at all.

"Go pick up your brother." Su Ci replied calmly.

The little girl immediately raised her head, forgetting her fear for a moment, "Really...really?"

"Yeah." Su Ci nodded.

Number Five looked at the keeper, who was so calm and even a little indifferent, thought for a moment, and said, "Thank you."

Su Ci glanced at her and nodded, "You're welcome."

Then, he retracted his gaze, put his hands back in his pockets, and stood in the sun lazily, with an indescribable sense of leisure, as if there were not many things in the world that could make his heart stir.

Number Five looked at him like this, and suddenly she felt that she was not so scared anymore, and the big stone that had been pressing on her heart for the past few days seemed to start to loosen.

The keeper should be able to rescue her brother.

This thought suddenly occurred to her mind. The little girl lowered her head and stood obediently beside Su Ci, her round eyes darting around.

Like the little wolf cub, this was also her first time "going out".

She has been raised in a nursery since she was a baby. The world she has been exposed to is only as big as the nursery, and it is concentrated in her room and activity room, and occasionally she goes to the medical purification center.

Although there is a monster in the red mist, she takes her out to "see" the outside world, and she also "sees" many beautiful blood-red flowers, but this is the first time she sees with her own eyes.

She found that the outside world is not the same as what the monster led her to see.

Although the sky is light red, the surroundings are not filled with red mist, distorted and oppressive. All the scenery is simple and natural. And for some reason, when she stands next to the keeper, she will feel very comfortable and her mood will become peaceful.

She didn't run around like the little wolf cub, but a seed was still quietly planted in her heart. Perhaps after a long, long time, she would never forget this day, the day when she first stepped out of that little world...

Soon, the floating bus arrived.

After the door opened, the little wolf cub rushed up first, then ran down and carried No. 5 up, while Su Ci also took A Yan on the bus.

"So this car can drive itself?"

The other three sat in their seats. Although Xiao Langze also sat next to No. 5, he couldn't help looking around and asking questions about everything he saw.

With his jokes, No. 5 was not so nervous anymore and was in the mood to answer his questions.

"Should...right?" Her mental strength was stronger than Xiao Langze's, and she didn't sense that someone was driving the car just now.

"What a pity!" Little Langze said with regret, "It would be great if it could drive itself. This car would be much more fun to drive than the toy cars in the activity room!"

Number Five didn't think so. This self-driving floating bus reminded her of 4583 and 4586. She just felt friendly. The only drawback was...

"It doesn't look good." The little girl frowned and said, "It needs to be painted with flowers."

"Like 4583 and 4586?" Little Langze tilted his head.

"Yes." Number Five nodded seriously.

Little Langze imagined the picture and stopped talking immediately. He still thought the current floating bus was cool, but in view of his experience of being beaten by Number Four for saying that Number Five's painting was ugly, he finally didn't say what he thought in his heart.

He just said, "You don't have your brushes and paints, so you can't paint."

Number Five opened her mouth and was about to say that she would paint later, but then she remembered something, looked back at Su Ci, and lowered her head without saying anything.

It was not certain whether she could come out in the future, let alone paint for the suspended cars. It took her a long time to paint flowers for 4583 and 4586.

However, when 4583 is repaired and sent back, she can paint for it again! Thinking of this, the little girl became happy again.

"It would be nice if Little Star and Yoyo were here too..." At this time, Little Langze couldn't help but mutter, and then secretly looked at the keeper, but was shocked -

the keeper was sleeping with his eyes closed!

Little Langze quickly covered his mouth, and even his breathing slowed down. Number Five next to him looked at him, then looked at the keeper, and finally covered his mouth.

A Yan sat next to Su Ci. He originally thought that the wolf cubs were a little noisy and disturbed the keeper's rest. Seeing them like this, he finally felt relieved and a little happy.

Why didn't he think that Number Five and Number Eight were so fun before?

Although A Yan looks only three or four years old, as the number one cub in the nursery, he can be said to have watched the other children grow up.

So naturally, when he looks at these cubs, he feels a bit like he is looking at little brothers and sisters.

Seeing them so well-behaved at this moment, he is a little relieved.

The suspended bus moves forward.

After experiencing the bloody frost last night, although the frost had faded, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the base was quiet, but this did not prevent Xiao Langze from looking around even if he covered his mouth.

Whenever he saw something interesting, he could only hold it in and prepare to share it with Xiao Xingxing when he returned.

Some passengers got on the bus one after another, but because they sat in the back row, they were small and blocked by the seats, and they were quiet, so they arrived at the station where the floating bus stopped at the research institute, and no other passengers noticed them.

"We have arrived at the research institute. Passengers who have reached their destination, please get off in an orderly manner. First off, then get on. Thank you for your cooperation."

Whenever this gentle mechanical female voice sounded, the little wolf cub and No. 5 would look at the keeper in fear. Fortunately, every time it sounded, the keeper closed his eyes and was not woken up.

However, this time, the keeper opened his eyes.

He yawned lazily, and the little wolf cub and No. 5 confirmed that his eyes were black, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, get off the bus." Su Ci stood up and said.

!!!

The little wolf cub and No. 5 looked at each other, and they all stood up, followed the keeper, and got off the suspended bus together. A Yan naturally followed closely.

Unlike the breeding garden, a team of guards stood in front of the gate of the research institute. They were patrolling and looked very alert.

Is my brother in here?

Number Five looked at the research institute. It looked more magnificent than the nursery and the medical purification center. Especially for her who was so young, she couldn't help but clench her hands.

My brother was taken away! She must save her brother! But...how can the keeper help her save her brother?

Little Langze was also thinking about this problem.

At the same time, he and Number Five had the same idea. In their minds, they both remembered the scene where the keeper destroyed the monster with his bare hands -

so the keeper must have taken them in to fight together and get Number Four back, right? !

Number Five was a little worried, but Little Langze was looking forward to it.

He stood beside Su Ci, staring at the guards, who were eager to try, just waiting for Su Ci's order to show off their skills. At this time, the guards also discovered Su Ci and his group.

Not to mention that Su Ci's reputation had spread throughout Base 24, his gray-blue clothes were enough to make him recognizable, and the fact that he was carrying two cubs behind him was enough to attract the attention of the guards.

After all, in the eyes of these guards, the cubs in the nursery were still the famous "little monsters".

So what did this Su the keeper bring these two cubs to the institute for? The guards looked at each other, and finally the captain of the guard took the lead to walk towards Su Ci, ready to ask Su Ci about the situation.

Noticing his approach, Xiao Langze suddenly became excited. He lowered his upper body, his tail swaying gently, and his green eyes stared at the captain of the guard, looking for flaws in him.

Although Xiao Langze's brain is not very bright, his fighting instinct is very sharp. He is sure that he can stop this captain of the guard and give Su Ci a chance.

However, when he was about to pounce on the captain of the guard, a thin hand reached out from behind and gently pinched the back of his collar.

The wolf cub struggled for a few times and found that he was just running in place, almost motionless. He couldn't help but look up at the keeper who grabbed his collar with some confusion.

Huh? Not going to fight?

The guard captain had actually been on guard against the wolf cub. When the boy was about to pounce on him, he had already taken a stance, but the result was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Did he see it wrong just now? This keeper who looked so weak... actually subdued this wolf cub with one hand?

While he was stunned, the keeper Su had already let go of his hand. Although the young boy looked reluctant, he finally curled his lips, glared at him fiercely, and then retreated behind the keeper with his arms folded.

The captain of the guard felt very incredible.

Isn't it said that the keepers in the nursery are often beaten by the little monsters and sent to the medical purification department, so many people resign? Why does this feeling... not the same as he imagined?

"Hello." At this time, he heard the new keeper greet him in a gentle voice.

The captain of the guard also responded quickly. After his eyes stayed on the young man's overly handsome face for a few seconds, he asked, "Keeper Su, this is the research institute. What are you doing here with these two... children?"

Su Ci nodded, "All the children in the nursery were taken away by Dr. Ren from the research institute. I'm here to take him back."

"Ah this..."

The captain of the guard was stunned, "I haven't received any relevant notification."

Su Ci said, "You can go and ask."

Obviously, the young man didn't say anything harsh, and the expression on his face was lazy and dull, but after he said that, the captain of the guard subconsciously wanted to sit down as he said.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally did not dare to say anything more, but said: "Okay, then please wait for a moment, I will ask right away."

But before leaving, he looked at the two cubs following Su Ci, and couldn't help but say: "Keeper Su, it's really dangerous for you to bring these two... children out like this..."

Before he finished speaking, the little wolf cub, sensing the malice, poked his head out from behind Su Ci and bared his teeth fiercely at the guard captain.

The guard captain couldn't help but take two steps back.

Su Ci also frowned slightly, patted the little wolf cub's head soothingly, and then glanced at the guard captain and said: "You go, don't take too long."

The young man's eyes were full of obvious warnings.

Obviously, judging from his physique and equipment, he was stronger than this frail-looking young man. However, when he met his eyes, the guard captain was speechless.

He could only nod his head in a daze, not daring to say anything more, and turned to go into the research institute to ask for instructions.

After he left, Su Ci became lazy again.

He yawned again. Maybe because he didn't sleep well last night, he was more sleepy today than before.

The little wolf cub and No. 5 looked at the guard captain running into the research institute, and then looked at the guards who were on guard against them, with natural hostility in their eyes.

The world of children is very simple. In their eyes, No. 4 was brought here and is in danger, so these people are all bad guys!

"Are we just staying here and not going in?" The little wolf couldn't help but ask, he was really confused, "Is it because you are not as powerful as you were last night, so you don't dare to fight them?"

Su Ci paused as he yawned, he lowered his eyes and looked at the young boy who was faintly emitting a violent and perverse aura, and No. 5 who was also angry next to him.

If these negative emotions were allowed to get out of control, they would probably fall into frenzy again.

The power of blood is actually the source of their power, but they are still young and cannot control this power. When their emotions are out of control and they are eager to vent, they will induce this power to come out, thus falling into frenzy, that is, an irrational state.

In serious cases, he will become like No. 2, completely bestialized, lose his human memories, and become like a beast.

If he is not guided correctly, relying solely on his soul power to suppress and relieve the symptoms is actually only a temporary solution.

Su Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Raising a cub is really a worry-free thing. His eyes swept over the well-behaved and sensible child next to him, and the balance in his heart tilted more and more towards A Yan.

He looked at Xiao Langze and No. 5 again, and whispered: "Force cannot solve all problems. Sometimes, you have to learn to use your brain."

Xiao Langze was confused, and No. 5 seemed to understand.

Su Ci thought for a while and said, "This is your homework. Think about it carefully. What method did I use to pick up No. 4? When you figure it out, I will continue to teach you how to play the flute."

In addition to cultivating one's body and character, the sound cultivator can also play the sound of killing. Although it can increase his self-protection ability, for now, the sound cultivator who focuses on killing is not what Su Ci wants to see.

This is also not in line with his original intention of giving the little wolf cub the word "Ze".

The little wolf cub's expression suddenly collapsed, but when Su Ci's eyes swept over him lightly, he shut up and began to rack his brains to think.

Number Five stood aside and watched, somewhat puzzled as to why the little wolf cub was so sure that the keeper could really get her brother out using his method... After all, she had not just felt that the keeper had used a similar ability to her on the guard captain.

So, why did the guard captain obey so obediently?

Inside the research institute.

Ren Yufei stared at the light screen that popped up in front of him with an ugly expression.

After a night of treatment, his injuries had almost healed, and the coming of the bloody frost flowers had no impact on the research institute, so he got up early in the morning and began to work on number four.

However, just as he ordered someone to bring the child out for testing, the mechanical sound of the base's intelligent computer rang in his ears.

[Researcher Ren Yufei, monitoring has found that you have violated the provisions of Chapter 13, Article 2 of the "Interstellar Law - Cub Protection Law" - no human experiments may be conducted on cubs without permission. At the same time, you have also violated the relevant provisions of the "Hell Star Base Management Regulations" by taking the cubs away from the medical purification department without obtaining the consent of the keeper]

[The above relevant evidence has been submitted to the regulatory department. Please stop the criminal behavior immediately to strive for a lighter punishment]

Ren Yufei's face has become extremely ugly. He never thought that the base's intelligent computer would actually take care of such things!

He had done so many things that he did not follow the base procedures before, and he had never seen the base's intelligent computer come out to stop it. Why did it suddenly jump out this time?

But no matter what, this still made Ren Yufei a little panicked.

"I just measured his physical data, and did not conduct human experiments on him! Besides, the nursery no longer has a formal keeper!" He tried to stay calm and defended himself.

However, the base's intelligent computer answered indifferently.

[You can make a statement to the military court during the trial.]

At this time, the captain of the guard also hurried to the outside of the corridor. After the assistant researcher learned about the situation from him, he realized that something was wrong and ran in to report the situation to Ren Yufei.

Ren Yufei gritted his teeth.

If it was just the trainee keeper who came to ask for someone today, he would definitely detain No. 4. However, after the base's intelligent computer warned him, he dared not do so again.

Conducting human experiments on cubs in private, especially on beast cubs, is a very sensitive matter. Once this hat is put on, the lightest punishment he will receive will be dismissal and investigation.

Now that the project has just begun to take shape, he must not make any mistakes!

Thinking of this, he could only put on a cold face and said to his assistant: "Take No. 4 out..."

He paused, waved his hand and said: "No, I will go to meet the trainee keeper in person."

Ren Yufei stood up, straightened his clothes, and then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Then he pretended to be calm and went to take No. 4 out.

No. 4 stared at him warily, as if ready to pounce on him and bite him like yesterday, but because his sister was threatened by him, he could only endure it.

Because of the painful lesson yesterday, Ren Yufei did not dare to get too close to him. Under the strict protection of several guards, he led the boy out of the gate of the institute.

Number Four didn't know where they were taking him, but this was a good opportunity for him. He kept observing his surroundings, looking for a chance to escape smoothly, but...

when he saw the three figures standing in front of the institute, he was stunned.

And Number Five also found him.

The little girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and she ran quickly towards Number Four.

"Brother!"

She threw herself into the boy's arms, crying and laughing.
