Chapter 83
Number Two was struggling, but suddenly his ears moved slightly and he turned to the door.
He heard the noise outside the room and frowned.
Who is outside?
The boy raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was not time to go out yet? Could it be that...
Number Two extended his mental power and indeed "saw" the little wolf cub standing in front of his door and talking. Of course, in addition to the little wolf cub, there was also a little white deer.
Both children looked fine. It seemed that the monster that invaded the nursery that night was successfully resolved in the end.
I just don't know how it was resolved?
Number Two recalled the last scene he saw before he fell into the sea of fire - he carried Number Seven on his back and rushed towards the giant spider.
Could it be that he, the incarnation of the Red Flame Tiger, resolved the giant spider? The big spider seemed to be afraid of the red flame, maybe it was scared away?
Number Two was not so arrogant as to think that he could kill the giant spider, but judging from the battle situation at that time, he was not afraid of the big spider after he turned into a red flame tiger.
I just don’t know why he didn’t run away in the end? And he didn’t even leave the brooding house... More importantly, after he was fully transformed, he was not taken away by the people from the research institute.
Many doubts emerged in the mind of Number Two, but there was no way to get answers at the moment.
He wanted to wait until the activity time, when he could leave the room, to seek answers, but he found out that the room next door, No. 403, which belonged to the little cat, was also opened?
"Watching" the child slowly walk out of the room, the boy felt something was wrong.
Number Seven and Number Eight were fine, but could it be that even Number Three was touched by the new keeper and thus got the right to go out at will?
No matter how you think about it, it's unbelievable!
With No. 3's personality, how could he do such a thing?
No. 2 was completely stunned as he watched the little kitten dawdle out of the room, meet up with No. 7 and No. 8, and then go to the elevator together, and finally disappear in his mental perception.
How long has he slept this time? Why does he feel like he is out of touch with the world?
The little white deer didn't know that No. 2 had woken up. After meeting the little wolf cub, he temporarily gave up going into No. 2's room to find him.
Today is his first day watering and fertilizing the seedlings, and he took the initiative to propose this job. He doesn't want to leave a bad impression on Brother Ayan because of being late.
So, after Xiao Zhengxing also came out of the room, the three of them went to the outside of the nursery building together.
Today the weather is fine. Although the sky is still light red, the light is bright, and the concentration of pollutants is reduced, which makes the vision brighter.
When stepping out of the nursery building, the little wolf cub couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air.
"Wow! It's so comfortable!"
After coming to the nursery for so long, this is the first time they have stepped out of the room and come to the outside at this time, and there are no nanny robots or keepers around to watch.
This feeling of freedom is really fresh!
The little white deer also nodded in agreement, but he was concerned about the seedlings in the field, so when the little wolf cub was attracted by the remains of the giant spider, he directly pulled the little boy.
"Brother Ayan is still waiting for us, we can't be late." He said seriously.
The little wolf cub couldn't help but curl his lips. He looked at the remains of the giant spider, then at the little white deer, and finally could only look away reluctantly.
After all, the reason why they were allowed to come out at this time was because they had to water and fertilize the seedlings. It was only the first day, so he had to perform well before he could continue.
Anyway, the giant spider is here, and it won't be too late to find a chance to come and see it after watering the seedlings!
"Then let's go!"
After thinking clearly about the interests, the little wolf cub became active again. He picked up the slowly walking little Zhengxing, and then ran to the back of the building with a smile.
"Yo Yo, come and chase us!"
Unexpectedly, he would suddenly run away, and the little white deer quickly spread his legs and ran after them.
"Langze, wait for me!"
The two chased each other and soon arrived at the place.
However, when they came to the land where the seedlings were planted, they were stunned when they looked around.
They saw that on this dark brown soil, there were only a few green and pointed seedlings, but today they all grew at least as long as a thumb!
Moreover, each of these more than 30 ordinary seedlings had at least two or three leaves, which were lush green and stretched in the morning breeze.
This vibrant scene seemed to have swept away all the dead air and was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the two children.
Even Xiao Zhengxing felt the difference.
After a night of sleep, his mental strength had been fully restored, so although he could not see, he could observe the world in the way he was most familiar with.
It was because of this that he felt more shocked.
However, after the initial sluggishness, he quickly came back to his senses and focused on
the two small spiritual buds in the middle surrounded by all the ordinary seedlings.
Their growth rate was not as fast as that of ordinary seedlings, but they were a little taller than yesterday. Originally there was only a small bud tip, but now that little green bud has also sprouted a small leaf.
"Together! Grow long and long!" "Together! Grow long and long!"
The small package waved the only small leaf and shouted its usual slogan vigorously. Although Xiao Zhengxing could not understand what it was saying, he could feel the vigorous vitality emanating from it.
This vitality is not an abstract concept, but a real substance emanating from the small spiritual buds.
When this substance spread out and touched those ordinary seedlings, the fluctuations released by these small green seedlings became obviously more active.
This fluctuation, with a kind of pure joy, made Xiao Zhengxing couldn't help but be infected.
It was this feeling that made Xiao Zhengxing muster up the courage to ask A Yan for it, because staying with these small green plants made him feel comfortable, more comfortable than being alone.
Little Zhengxing didn't know that the substance emitted by the spoiled bag was spiritual energy, but this did not prevent him from realizing the importance of these two small spiritual buds -
although the little lazy guy was still sleeping soundly and was not as energetic as his little friend, the spiritual energy emitted from it was no less than that of the spoiled bag.
It was precisely because of their existence that the small green seedlings around them could grow so much overnight.
"You are here."
When the little wolf put down little Zhengxing and lay on the ground with the little white deer in surprise to watch the small green seedlings, the calm and steady voice of the big brother rang in the open space.
The little white deer stood up quickly and called out in a cute way, "Good morning, Brother Ayan."
Seeing this, the little wolf cub also hurriedly got up and imitated the little white deer to greet Ayan: "Good morning, Brother Ayan!"
"..."
Xiao Zhengxing hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "A... Brother Ayan... Good morning..."
Facing the three people's unique ways of greeting, Ayan just nodded calmly.
"Good morning."
Then he did not forget to remind, "Susu is still sleeping, don't make noise."
Hearing this, the little wolf cub subconsciously covered his mouth, his green eyes were full of fear, and the other two children also nodded hurriedly.
It was really terrible to wake up Susu!
The shadow cast on the children that night will probably follow them for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that they were obedient, A Yan nodded gently, then pointed to the small green seedlings on the ground and said, "Okay, we have to water them first."
He handed a card to the little white deer, "This is the amount of water for these 36 seedlings. I have written down each one. This is the measuring cup."
A Yan began to teach them how to use the measuring cup - it was distributed with the solid fertilizer, and there was only one, so the three children had to share this cup.
However, Xiao Zhengxing's eyes are blind, and although he has the help of mental power, it is still inconvenient, so he still needs the help of two little friends.
Of course, the little wolf cubs don't mind helping him.
After learning how to use the measuring cup, the three children got together and began to work together.
A Yan watched for a while and then felt relieved.
With two spiritual plants and the water rich in spiritual energy, these ordinary plant seedlings only need watering.
As for fertilizer, the three plants selected by Su Ci and the star chain fruit itself have roots that can enrich the soil, and long-term planting can increase the nutrients in the soil.
Of course, the two spiritual plants have a large demand for nutrients and may snatch nutrients from the land, so when the nutrients are insufficient, appropriate fertilizers must be applied.
After handing over the task of watering the small green seedlings to the three children, A Yan turned his attention to the star chain fruit vines.
Their growth is the best among these plants.
The original dead vines have all returned to green, leaves have sprouted from each bud, and new vines have grown out, extending to the surrounding land.
At this rate of growth, in a few days, it will probably cover this small piece of ground...
Ah Yan recalled how the nursery planted the star chain fruit, and felt that it was necessary to build a frame for the star chain fruit vine.
Thinking of the day when the star chain fruit vine grew wildly and climbed all over the wall, Ah Yan's eyes were filled with anticipation. If the star chain fruit vine climbed all over the nursery building...
That scene would definitely be beautiful, right?
Would Su Su like it?
Ah Yan looked up at the entire nursery building, looking at the cold metal exterior wall, imagining the grand scene that might appear in the future, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He wanted to plant all the green plants on this land, and then when the time comes, Su Su would be able to see the vitality as soon as she opened the window and looked down.
Thinking of this, A Yan retracted his gaze again, and then took out the seeds of the star chain fruit that he had soaked last night.
There were hundreds of seeds that the little monkey brought him, and after soaking overnight, about twenty or thirty of them broke through the skin and sprouted.
A Yan picked them out.
After the wolf cubs finished watering, he called the children over.
"Do you want to farm with me?" he asked.
The three little guys started thinking without thinking. After seeing the little green seedlings that grew so much overnight, their interest in farming was unprecedentedly high.
Even the wolf cubs had forgotten the remains of the giant spider.
How can it be more interesting to look at corpses than to plant seedlings?
And...
he pointed at the much larger star chain fruit vines and couldn't help asking, "Will we have star chain fruit to eat when they bloom and bear fruit in the future?"
Upon hearing this, the little white deer's eyes lit up.
Roar! The star chain fruit they planted will bear fruit in the future! After the little wolf cub said this, he realized this belatedly.
A Yan nodded, "You have put in the effort, so of course you can also enjoy the fruits together."
He also reminded, "The fruits you ate the day before yesterday were produced by those star chain fruit vines."
"Wow!"
Hearing this, the three children couldn't help but get excited.
"In addition to star chain fruit, there are three other plants, Yuxue, Yingcuidou, and Huangjintaro, which are also edible."
A Yan continued to draw cakes.
Because he was interested in plants and had spent some time in the cultivation garden before, he had some knowledge of them.
"The fruit of Yuxue is white, juicy, and sweet. It is good whether eaten raw or cooked or stewed."
"As for Yingcui beans and Huangjin taro, they also have different ways of eating. In terms of taste and flavor, they are not comparable to jelly paste."
Although A Yan had not tried it, he knew how to say it to mobilize the enthusiasm of the three little guys to the greatest extent.
Especially the little wolf cub, who he was most optimistic about, drooled after he finished speaking.
"Then what are we waiting for?" The little wolf cub said impatiently, "Let's plant the land! Plant it earlier and you can eat it earlier!"
A Yan was satisfied.
So, he began to command the three children to dig holes at the places he marked.
A Yan did not plan to plant the new star chain fruit seeds around the small spiritual buds, as it was too crowded there. When the seedlings grow bigger, they will have to be transplanted.
Although it is far away from the small spiritual buds, with the spiritual water for irrigation and the dissipation of resentment in the land around the nursery, these plants can grow normally.
The growth rate may be a little slower due to the poor soil, but for now, there is nothing that can be done about it.
After all, there are only two small spiritual plants, and not all plants can rely on them.
When the wolf cubs were digging, A Yan said to them: "These are all seeds of star chain fruit. When they grow into seedlings, we will pull the vines up to the building..."
The three children imagined the magnificent scene he described, and they couldn't help but feel longing, and worked harder.
Even Xiao Zhengxing, thinking that he could feel these lovely plants in his room and fall asleep with their company at night, couldn't help but grab the small shovel and dig the soil.
"It's a pity that our room has no windows..."
After digging the pit, burying the sprouted seeds one by one, and pouring water, Xiao Langze looked up at the fifth floor where he lived and couldn't help but mutter.
Except for the second and third floors, there were no windows on the other floors of the nursery. He couldn't tell where his room was.
Hearing his complaints and feeling the disappointment of the other two children, A Yan thought for a moment and said, "If you behave well, I can help you apply to Su Su."
Since the cubs are allowed to enter and exit the room freely, it only requires opening a window in the room, which should be allowed.
Hearing this, little Langze jumped up.
He dreams of having a window in his room. A completely closed room always makes him feel uncomfortable. If he has a window, he can still see the green plants downstairs...
When the star chain fruit vine grows up, can he pick the fruit directly from the window?
The little wolf cub was very excited when he thought of this scene.
"What should we do to perform well?" He shook his big tail and looked at A Yan with expectation. "Brother A Yan, please teach us!"
When he needs help from others, Xiao Langze's mouth is the sweetest.
"Brother A Yan, you are the best! Tell us what to do, and we promise to complete it obediently!" Then he pulled the little white deer.
The little white deer also came back to his senses from the great surprise and quickly nodded, "Yes! Brother Ayan, please teach us how to behave!"
Even Xiao Zhengxing followed suit and whispered, "Brother Ayan..."
Facing the three children's pleading and acting cute, Ayan suddenly found that he seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
He also suddenly realized what a window meant to these children who had been locked in the room for years. It might be something more tempting than any food.
"Yeah."
Ayan calmed down. Fortunately, he was speaking through a communicator, so the children did not hear his abnormality.
His voice still sounded so steady and reliable. He said, "I know. Go wash your hands first."
The children's hands were covered with mud after digging the soil. Little Langze's face was even dirty.
Hearing this, the three children ran to wash their hands and faces.
After they washed, A Yan said, "Come with me to the kitchen."
"Kitchen?"
The three children looked confused.
Obviously, they had no chance to visit the kitchen in their limited lives, so they didn't know what this place was for or where it was.
"Well, on the first floor of the nursery..."
A Yan told them the approximate location, and then said, "I'll wait for you there. If you want a window, come over."
Then, he disappeared from the spot.
After waiting for a while, before A Yan spoke again, the little wolf cub sniffed the air and called out hesitantly, "Brother A Yan?"
Xiao Zhengxing said, "He's gone."
"Wow, it's really fast!" The little wolf cub sighed, "Then let's go to the kitchen to find him!"
After that, he quickly carried Xiao Zhengxing on his back and ran to the entrance of the nursery building with the little white deer.
Behind the three children, the little spirit bud was still waving its leaves hard.
The plants that grew wantonly in the morning light listened to the call of the spoiled bag and continued to spit out new buds, ushering in explosive growth...
When the little wolf cubs found the location of the kitchen, A Yan had already taken a large piece of spider meat out of the cold storage and was thawing it on the table.
With Su Ci's instructions, the three children also entered the kitchen very smoothly.
The little wolf cub saw the spider meat on the table at first sight. He suddenly realized something and asked in surprise: "Brother Ayan, are you going to make something delicious?"
"Yes." Ayan replied, "I'm going to make breakfast for Susu."
With spider meat, although the ingredients are more abundant and Su Ci can eat a full meal, the processing of the ingredients is more time-consuming -
because of limited resources, the food processors equipped at the base do not have the function of processing ingredients and can only be used for cooking, so the ingredients must be processed manually.
Today, I wasted time with the three children to farm, and the spider meat had to be thawed. Ayan felt that he might not have time to prepare breakfast before Susu got up.
However, it would be different if these three children helped.
"Help me cut the spider meat into small pieces." A Yan showed how to cut the spider meat into appropriate sizes.
The little wolf kept swallowing his saliva. He had just had breakfast, but he felt hungry again.
"Brother A Yan, is spider meat delicious?" He asked as he rolled up his sleeves to help cut the meat.
"Giant spider meat is delicious." A Yan was already very skilled in using a kitchen knife. He could not only cut the meat into appropriate sizes, but also very quickly.
The wolf cub stared at it with his eyes wide open, not daring to be distracted. After cutting it carefully for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Can I have a piece after you finish it?"
Ah Yan said nothing.
The wolf cub continued to fight for it, and he said pitifully, "Just one piece is fine, let me taste what it tastes like, I haven't eaten real meat for a long time qaq"
If he didn't know that the meat in front of him was Su Su's breakfast, and if he didn't have to perform well, the wolf cub might have been unable to resist and secretly ate a piece of it raw.
For the growing cubs, meat is absolutely an indispensable nutrient.
Although the jelly they eat can also supplement nutrition, it is still not as tempting as real meat.
The little wolf cub was too aggrieved, and he had behaved very well today. Ah Yan thought for a moment and said, "I can ask Su Su."
Hearing this, the little wolf cub grinned, then lowered his head and started to work hard.
The job of cutting meat was too challenging for Xiao Zhengxing and Xiao Lujiao. Although they wanted to perform well, their little arms could not lift the knife after only cutting halfway.
Only the little wolf cub was still trying hard to persevere in order to eat meat, without a single complaint.
While the little wolf cubs were farming, in room 402, No. 2, who had been thinking for a long time, finally came to the door of the room tentatively.
He stood at the door, and before he could do anything, he saw the metal door slowly open in front of him.
The red-haired boy couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at the empty corridor outside, his face full of disbelief -
he actually... got his freedom so easily?
The boy took tentative steps outside, and when he really came to the corridor, he stood there for a while, and tentatively shouted: "Is anyone here? I'm out?"
After waiting for a while, no one paid attention to him.
The boy was still worried, and tried again: "I'm really out!"
As a result, there was really nothing in the corridor except his echo.
Number Two scratched his hair in disbelief. What happened? Is there a machine malfunction? His first reaction was to tiptoe to the staircase. Now that no one was paying attention to him, it was the best time to escape!
But -
when he came to the stairwell on the third floor, the boy stopped hesitantly.
The dormitories for the breeders... seem to be on the third floor?
