As soon as a small sprout of mental power emerged, it was swept into the sea of countless violent mental powers. The small sprout had never seen such a scene before and was stunned on the spot.
After a few seconds, the young bud trembled and reacted. It shook its leaves and looked for its father's spiritual power with a little selfishness.
First, feel Dad’s spiritual power, then look for the eldest uncle, and also Sister Huaya, Uncle Lingqi, and the uncle next door…
It was the first time for the little bud to be so closely connected with so much mental energy. It didn’t last long before its owner fell back onto the bed with a snap.
Because he fell so suddenly, his head hit the window frame, leaving a bruise on it.
Although the window frame knocked the short-armed and short-legged cub a little dizzy, the cub didn't care about his forehead at this time. He closed his eyes and frowned on his chubby face.
"Boss, our mental strength... has returned to normal!"
In the chaos, someone suddenly shouted excitedly, and then more and more people followed suit: "Mine too!"
Amidst the numerous exclamations, the redness in Zhan Rao's eyes gradually faded away.
His mental power was the most out of control, but now, like everyone else, his mental power was suddenly calmed down.
The mental power is no longer rioting, which naturally means that they can finally let go and slaughter these disgusting insects that want to invade their territory.
The battle is turning around.
While their mental powers were temporarily not out of control, everyone worked together to carve a ditch at the junction of the place where the Zerg crawled in and the entrance to the barren planet.
The ravine was unfathomable, like a new stone barrier.
The warm light of dusk spread over the ravines and onto the dirty faces of many people. They looked at the battlefield which had finally calmed down, and rested as if exhausted, leaning, lying or sitting, gasping for breath.
Zhan Xi and Zhan Rao were the closest to them. They both looked very messy. Because they had killed so many insects, their faces were stained with blood and their clothes were extremely dirty.
"Boss."
Zhan Xi's chest was rising and falling violently. He was not excited about the end of the battlefield. He tried his best to steady his breathing and said to Zhan Rao in an affirmative tone: "Someone has been channeling our spiritual energy."
He couldn't sense who did it, and he didn't even know how the other party did it.
He only knew that his violent mental power was like a grumpy tiger or leopard, suddenly rushing into a quiet forest. Then, as if caressed by the wind or moistened by the rain, he completely calmed down.
Zhan Rao, who was standing in front of him, had an unclear expression on his face.
"I know."
Zhan Rao, who had also calmed down, said nothing unusual, but his eyes were frighteningly bright: “The last time I lost control, I was guided once.”
Zhan Rao and Zhan Xi had both received counseling before, but they never found out who did it.
"Brother, how do I check?"
"Clean this place first. Once you're done, I'll conduct a thorough investigation."
Thanks to the continuous channeling of their mental strength, for the first time, after such a fierce battle, these people on the battlefield did not go crazy or distracted, but were able to clean up the battlefield calmly.
"Zhan Xi, you don't have to stay here."
Zhan Rao glanced in the direction of the wooden house and ordered, "There are enough people here. You and Ling Qi go back to see Ning Zai."
Ling Qi's hand was injured, so it was inconvenient for him to stay.
Zhan Xi was worried about his own child, so he didn't refuse. He pulled Ling Qi along and left in a hurry.
soon.
Zhan Xi found his cub on the bed in the hut. The cub was lying on his back with his belly facing upwards, his eyes tightly closed on his pale, chubby face.
"Ningzi?!"
Zhan Xi was startled by this scene. He rushed over, picked up the cub, and checked it carefully: "Fortunately, there is no problem with breathing."
Although his eyes were closed, the baby's little chest was still heaving.
Zhan Xi saw the marks on Zizi's forehead. He frowned, feeling depressed: "Zizi must have accidentally hit his head and fainted."
Ling Qi, who followed along, heard this and went forward to take a look.
Neither of them is a doctor, so they can't tell anything.
"Go see a doctor." Ling Qi squeezed Jian Ning's chubby little fist and gave advice: "Let's stop analyzing blindly here."
There are doctors on the deserted planet, but they are too poor and lack any medical examination equipment.
Jian Ning was held in Zhan Xi's arms and went to the doctor for help.
Although there was no equipment to perform a physical examination on the cub, the doctor raised his eyelids, performed a manual examination himself, and said, "There's nothing wrong, it's just sleeping."
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi had an expression that said, "Do you think I believe it?"
Even Ling Qi frowned slightly and said, "Zhan Xi called him just now, but he couldn't wake him up. He doesn't sleep so deeply."
Ling Qi understands this cub. If there is no adult around, he will make a fuss when he sleeps.
But now the cub was lying quietly, not crying or making a fuss, and didn't respond to Zhan Xi's voice. This was too wrong.
The doctor glanced at them and said calmly, "I said he was sleeping, so he is sleeping. Look for yourself. If you move his body parts, he can still give normal reflex movements. He is fine."
After the doctor finished speaking, he applied some medicine on Jane Ning's bruised forehead.
"Okay, take it back."
"Well, then I'll take it back and take a look."
Zhan Xi held Jian Ning, who had just applied the medicine, in his arms again. He did not wear a coat because he thought it was too dirty and would stink the baby. The baby's breathing in his arms was transmitted to his chest through a thin layer of cloth. Such even breathing made Zhan Xi's nervous mood relax a little.
Zhan Rao cleaned up the battlefield, and Zhan Xi went straight home.
Ling Qi lived not too far from him, and the two of them separated at the fork in the road.
Arrived home.
Zhan Xi put Jian Ning on the bed, changed him into clean clothes, and let him continue to sleep: "Daddy will come to accompany you after taking a bath. If you wake up, cry, and Daddy will come out when he hears you."
Zhan Xi took a quick shower and cleaned himself in the shortest possible time. After changing his clothes, he went to bed refreshed and rested with his baby.
He hardly slept these days.
Now that the situation has temporarily settled down, Zhan Xi hugged the sweet and soft baby, buried his face in the baby's body, and rubbed it gently.
The father and son fell asleep together.
In Zhan Xi's arms, the cub with his eyes closed smelled a familiar scent, and his wrinkled little chubby face finally relaxed a little.
He was next to Zhan Xi. The lively little buds of spiritual power in his head had long since dried up and turned gray-brown. The gray-brown buds curled up pitifully, so fragile that they were almost dissipating.
Jian Ning was gathering her strength, trying hard to maintain the figure of the little bud.
Don’t let the sprouts disappear.
If the little buds are gone, very bad things will happen to him.
Jane Ning started to get busy.
He was busy with his eyes closed, while Zhan Xi beside him was looking at the time on the star board and becoming more and more anxious.
"Cub?"
Zhan Xi looked at the cub who had been sleeping for most of the day and called out in a louder voice, "Wake up, please? It's time for us to eat. Daddy bought you some tomatoes. Let's use a small spoon to scoop out the tomatoes and eat them."
The fruits on the barren planet are precious. In order to supplement Jian Ning's food, Zhan Xi has been trying to buy fresh fruits. Now there are not many fruits at home.
In the past, when Jane Ning smelled the scent of big tomatoes, she would curl her nose and open her eyes in greed.
But this time, Zhan Xi not only took out tomatoes, but also other foods, including the cub's favorite milk. He tried everything, but still couldn't wake up the sleeping cub.
On the first day that Jian Ning fell asleep, Zhan Xi was still able to listen to what the doctor said.
The day after Jian Ning fell asleep, Zhan Xi's spirit was stretched to the limit. Zhan Rao had just finished cleaning and finishing the battlefield and rushed over to check the situation in person.
But as he saw, the little cub on the bed was breathing normally and its vital signs were stable, but it just wouldn't wake up.
The third day that Jane Ning fell asleep.
Seeing Zhan Xi packing his luggage to take his son to seek medical treatment outside, Zhan Rao came over again.
When he came over, there were other people in the room.
"Zhan Xi, the temperature outside is different from here. I made some new clothes. You can take them for Ningzi to wear."
"Zhan Xi, this is food. Give it to Ningzi when he wakes up."
"Here, the kitten I promised to knit for him."
"I'll give the money I saved to Ningzai first. If it's not enough, just let me know and we'll transfer it to you later."
The people on the barren planet have no mercy. They will never give charity to any weak person. In their opinion, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and if you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself.
But at this moment, these merciless people were all willing to give the little cub food, clothes, toys, and money.
They give these without expecting anything in return.
Their only plan was: "Come back after you cure Ningzi. I'm not used to not hearing Ningzi's flattery."
Everyone knows that Ningzai likes to flatter others.
The baby sitting in his father's arms will politely wave his little hand no matter who he meets, then look at the other person seriously and blow sincere flattery. The last step is that he will extend his chubby face and wait for the adults to pinch or kiss him.
No matter how much adults dislike taking care of babies, they are completely helpless against such a soft, chubby little face.
Almost everyone on the deserted planet has pinched this little chubby face, heard the baby's babyish praise, and held this soft baby in their arms.
But now, the chubby little cub closed his eyes, did not wave his little hands at them, and did not bend his eyes to ask for a hug.
Zhan Xi looked at the things everyone handed over in silence. His big hand was still holding Jian Ning's small hand. His peach blossom eyes, which always smiled, hadn't smiled for a long time.
Zhan Rao stood there for a while, then walked in.
He was flipping through a yellowed book in his hand. After he walked in, he handed the book to Zhan Xi: "I found the reason why our mental power suddenly stabilized."
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
There is not a single person on the desolate planet who does not have mental problems, it’s just that the severity of their mental problems is different.
The different severity levels only mean that they will be tortured to death sooner or later.
After all, even the emperor of the empire cannot solve the problem of mental power.
Zhan Xi held the cub's warm little hand, his eyes clear, "Boss, I don't have the energy to worry about whether my mental strength is stable or not."
All he wanted now was for his cub to wake up.
Seeing that he didn't take the book, Zhan Rao put it next to him, and then said straight to the point: "Our mental power suddenly stabilized. It was Ningzai who did it."
"I calculated the time and looked up information before finally deciding on the answer."
"I don't know how Ningzai did it. I can only be sure that when we were fighting the Zerg, it was Ningzai who channeled our violent mental energy and stabilized it."
After Zhan Rao finished speaking, there was silence at the scene, and everyone stared with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Zhan Xi's brain buzzed loudly, as if a thunder had exploded.
He thought about how his mental strength would always suddenly become very stable, and how his cub's tired little face would always look like he couldn't wake up after each such incident.
At that time, he poked the little boy's face with a smile, saying that the boy was a lazy boy...
Zhan Xi's eyes were red and his lips were trembling. He had a lot of questions to ask, but he couldn't make any sound. The people around him were no better than him.
They were also thinking about everything that happened on the battlefield that day.
Yes.
The cub fell into a coma on that day. On the day they were rescued, the cub closed its eyes and has not opened them until now.
Ling Qi stood at the end of the bed, his slender hands tightly grasping the corner of the bed.
He calmed his breathing, and after calming down for a few times, he asked on behalf of everyone: "Boss, now that you have found the reason why Ningzi is sleeping, do you know how to wake him up?"
Zhan Rao was silent.
Under everyone's gaze, he spoke slowly, his tone unable to conceal his deep concern: "I know, but... Ningzi's chances of waking up are slim."
Zhan Rao knew that what he said was very cruel, but he had to continue: "It is recorded in the book that people who can heal and sort out other people's mental power are extremely rare. At present, there has not been such a person for at least more than a hundred years."
"Ningzi is the only one."
"He is too young. Excessive use of his healing ability will cause irreparable damage to him. I have looked through all the records about people with healing abilities and found that the youngest age they use healing abilities is fifteen."
Zhan Rao's words were like a bucket of cold water, poured over everyone.
The scene was filled with dead silence.
The pirates, who always thought that tears were a sign of failure, were all red-eyed at the sight of the little cub sleeping peacefully. A tall and mused with red eyes, "How can my rotten life be matched with such a precious cub?"
If he could do it again, he would rather die at the hands of the Zerg than let this little cub who hasn't even learned to walk save him.
"Boss."
Zhan Xi, who was holding the little cub, was obviously shaking, but his voice was surprisingly calm. He said, "Tell me a way to wake Ning cub up. Even if the chance is small, I will try it."
Zhan Rao seemed to have expected this answer. After a pause, he said, "We need something from the private vault of the emperor."
"Zhan Xi, you know we can't get close to the emperor's private treasury."
