The room was eerily quiet for a few seconds, and then Ludwig turned his gaze to his son again.
"Cesare, have you seen the transcript?"
Huo Lin nodded: "I have seen it."
Huo Lin finished speaking and added, "Ningzi's results this time are a little unsatisfactory, but part of the reason is that he didn't review well. I will have a good talk with him after I see him."
Reviewing before the exam is very important. Although this kind of review is called cramming, in fact, if you work hard, you can still see some improvement.
It's a pity that their little kid went astray this time. Instead of reviewing well, he went to kowtow to Grandpa Confucius.
During the two days of examination, the kid had done a lot of hard work, but now the results were out, and the failing grade on the transcript silently proved that doing some unorthodox methods would not improve grades.
This is a perfect educational opportunity. Huo Lin has already planned to take the report card and teach the kid a lesson not to take shortcuts in his studies.
"Didn't you just say you could choose your own practice location? I agree."
Ludwig said calmly: "You are free to choose the practice location, but one thing is, when you see Ning Zai, record a video for me."
Ludwig really wanted to know how the little boy would react after seeing the report card.
Huo Lin was silent for a moment when he heard his father's request.
A few seconds later.
He compromised and said, "Okay, I'll record the video."
When the video is recorded, I guess the adults will each want a copy.
To be honest, Huo Lin sometimes worries about the little guy. The little guy has caught up with the era of advanced technology, and the black history videos he has kept since he was a child are all high-definition and uncensored.
Judging from the personalities of the adults in his family, Huo Lin was certain that the videos of the little boy's dark history would only accumulate more and more.
When the kid grows up, he will probably cry again when he sees these videos.
"Okay, get out."
Ludwig and his son were not in the habit of staying in the study together, and there were not many scenes of fatherly love between them before.
It is difficult to develop a relationship between a father and son when their personalities are too similar.
Huo Lin didn't hesitate and turned away.
When Huo Lin walked out of the study, Ludwig glanced at the floor of the study.
The floor and corners of the study are littered with the baby's toys, but the baby, who loves playing with toys here, has not been here for several days.
Not only the royal family misses the little cub, but Zhan Xi, the father, also misses the cub very much.
"Ling Qi, I heard that the training for children in the winter camp is similar to military training. I don't think our child can withstand this intensity. Do you think we should find a way to bring him back?"
"If Ningzai wants to come back, he will call us."
Ling Qi was much calmer: "Zhan Xi, I think it's not Ning Zai who needs to be independent, it's you."
Zhan Xi had never let go of the little boy, and now that he was separated from the little boy, the one who found it most difficult to adapt was him, the old father.
Fortunately, Ling Qi was in the room and could talk to him from time to time to help him dispel some inappropriate thoughts.
Time passes by little by little.
The kids in the winter camp are undergoing training. Before they were placed in the forest, the teacher had given them three hours of lessons.
During this three-hour class, the teacher told them about the living environment in the forest, the various creatures in it, and the necessary survival skills.
The last point of survival skill is particularly important even in today's interstellar world.
War has never ended forever, and no matter which country the cubs are from, they cannot live in peace forever.
Although they are young, they can master some survival skills in advance, so that no matter when danger comes, they can at least have a little more hope of survival.
The teachers did not set the children to difficult mode right away. After dividing the children into groups, they secretly gave the children novice gift packs.
Ningzai and Wagner were originally going to be separated by the teacher, but when the grouping was in progress, the teacher saw that they were having a conflict, so after thinking about it, he put them in the same group again.
As for Lele, the most delicate child in the entire winter camp, the teachers assigned him to Savi.
Lele was reluctant to part with Ningzai. Before leaving, he held Ningzai's hand and cried until he hiccuped: "The forest is so big... Lele, Lele is so scared."
Ningzi also felt that the forest was too big, and he didn't want Lele to go in and explore. But there was nothing he could do, as a father he couldn't protect Lele.
Ningzai, who couldn't get over the teacher, was infected by Lele's emotions and also felt sad: "Lele, wait until daddy becomes stronger, he can protect you well!"
The teachers in charge looked at the two cubs holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes. They looked at each other for a few seconds and then coldly and ruthlessly separated the two cubs.
"Le Le, don't be afraid, I'll find you when we get in!"
Ningzai was hugged by the teacher by his chubby waist. He waved his hands vigorously and shouted at Lele.
Lele was speechless and just kept crying. Savi was afraid that he would cry until he fainted.
An ordinary forest survival exercise was turned into a life-and-death separation scene by the two cubs.
The teachers separated the two cubs and hurried them into the forest.
soon.
Ningzai and Wagner entered the forest carrying their backpacks. In their backpacks were only a bottle of water, a piece of bread, and some straw ropes.
Wagner looked at Ningzai who had not yet made peace with him, hesitated for a moment, and finally stood shoulder to shoulder with him: "Ningzai, there is too little food in our backpacks, will you not have enough to eat?"
Ning Zai, who only had a piece of bread on his back, had long been worried about his backpack. He ate a lot, and a piece of bread was not enough for him as a snack.
In response to Wagner's question, Ningzi kept a straight face and said nothing.
Wagner looked at him, and finally, he took the initiative to ask for peace: "Let's make peace, and I'll give you my bread."
"So what do you want?"
The little cub frowned and asked Wagner.
Wagner patted his chest and replied: "I don't eat anything. I resist hunger!"
Ningzi: “…”
Ningzi looked at Wagner who was about to share the bread with him, and he finally stretched out his chubby little hand: "Okay, we're reconciled."
The two reconciled cubs walked forward together, hand in hand.
They will live here for two days and can go out on the third day. During the two days they live here, they must protect themselves well!
"Ningzi, the road here is so difficult to walk on."
Although Wagner was the son of a marshal, he had never been in such a harsh environment. He held Ningzai's hand and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The little cubs who had lived on a barren planet didn't like this kind of environment, but they could still accept it.
The living conditions on the barren planet are not good either. The little cub has been used to living on the barren planet since he was a child.
"Let's go find Ci and Lele, and go to sleep when we find them!"
Ningzai's goal was very clear and definite from the moment he came in.
Find food, have fun, sleep, and wait for the teacher to pick you up!
Because the goal was clear, the little cub was not so frightened after coming in.
"Ningzi, how can we find food here?"
Wagner looked around. There were a lot of grass and trees, as well as a small stream. There was a thick layer of leaves on the road, so they had to be very careful when stepping on the leaves.
The teacher said there are snakes and insects here.
"Both insects and snakes are fine. They will be delicious after being roasted."
The cub, who had eaten roasted grasshoppers before, was not afraid of eating insects at all. He had even eaten insects on a barren planet!
At the beginning, food was very scarce on the barren planet, and everyone was willing to try anything that was edible.
When the little cub just learned to eat, his father fed him all kinds of food.
The little cub is more afraid of being hungry than eating bugs.
Wagner had never eaten bugs before, so his face wrinkled. "How do you eat bugs? Ningzi, do you think Zerg bugs are edible?"
Little cub: “…”
The boy's expression gradually changed from shock to eagerness to try. He held the straps of his backpack and said to Wagner happily, "I haven't done it before. We can give it a try!"
The grown-up Zerg are disgusting to look at, and they cannot be eaten. However, the unhatched worms are white and tender, and they are also small, so they are not inedible.
Wagner:"?"
Wagner just sighed casually, he never expected that the little guy would actually be interested in it.
"Ningzi, don't let your imagination run wild. There are no Zerg here. We can't catch any Zerg bugs."
Wagner, who didn't want to eat bugs, spoke hurriedly, interrupting the little cub from thinking further.
The little guy was also looking around, and he didn't agree with Wagner's words.
He has killed many insects on the desolate planet and is an expert in killing insects!
He was also very familiar with the living environment of insects, and the place they came to this time might not be without insects living.
Especially those basements outside and the shorter buildings are the Zerg's favorite places to live.
The two cubs walked hand in hand for a long time, and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
They had eaten up all the bread in their backpacks an hour ago. After finishing the bread, they also drank half a bottle of water.
"Ningzi, I'm hungry."
Ningzi didn't take Wagner's bread, but Wagner, who only ate a piece of bread, was still very hungry. The little boy, who had a bigger appetite than Wagner, had a louder stomach than Wagner.
He lowered his head and touched his belly. The expression on Xiaopang's face became more determined: "We have to find another one quickly!"
The two cubs, who were previously very cautious and didn't dare to touch the leaves, this time bent down and turned over the leaves.
They will find the food hidden under the leaves, no matter whether it is a big snake or something else, they will eat it!
The two hungry cubs lowered their heads and searched together. After more than an hour, they successfully found a snake.
The little cub picked up a stone and smashed the snake to death.
He instructed Wagner: "Pick it up with a branch and wash it!"
Upon hearing this, Wagner picked up the snake with a branch and took it to the stream to wash it.
After washing in the stream for a while, the kid took off his shoes and caught a few almost transparent shrimps and fish in the water.
"Ningzi, we don't have fire, how are we going to roast?"
"Baby, you can make a fire!"
The little boy held his chest out with pride. When he and his father were grilling food outside, his father taught him how to make a fire.
The two brave cubs roasted snakes, shrimps, and small fish. They even caught and roasted a few insects they had never seen before that were lying on the trees.
Most of these roasted things went into the little guy's stomach.
These things were not enough to fill their stomachs, and the two cubs, having tasted the sweetness, began to become more and more courageous.
They catch everything they see and want to eat everything they see.
Because they always make fire to roast things, the faces and clothes of the two cubs are dirty. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t recognize them.
It was evening.
Wagner looked at the little cub who was still walking and asked in confusion: "Ning cub, aren't we going to rest yet?"
The little one walking in front had strung together several large insects and delicious but hard-to-find shrimps on long leaves. He walked along without looking back: "I want to find Lele."
He himself was not full yet, but he left a bunch of food to roast for Lele.
Just when the little boy went to look for Lele, Lele, who he was thinking about, was breaking his bread and giving it to Savi to eat.
"Brother Savi, please eat."
Lele's nose and eyelids were red, and it was obvious that he had cried a lot. He snuggled up to Savi and stuffed the bread he couldn't finish into Savi's hands.
Sevi's stomach growled, but he didn't eat his bread.
"It's just a little bit, eat it yourself."
Saiwei said, looking at his exposed wrist: "You are too thin. It's not good for your health to be so thin. Look at that Ningzi, he is very fat. It would be better if he could share some of his meat with you."
Lele: “…”
Lele knew that Ningzai’s father didn’t like being called fat, and he wanted to retort on Ningzai’s father’s behalf, but when he looked at Savi, he rubbed his eyes and swallowed his words back.
Savi sat on the stone, watching his reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing him hold back his words, Savi's frown deepened.
When this Lele cub came, he noticed that the clothes he wore and the things he used were all the best, which showed that his family was either rich or noble.
Logically speaking, a kid born in such a family shouldn't have such a punching bag personality. Even though he was about to cry, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Hello."
Saiwei couldn't stand it anymore and pinched his cheek: "Whose cub are you? Are your family members not good to you? Have they abused you?"
Lele, whose cheeks were pinched, had tears in her eyes, but this time they turned into tear beads.
His tears were falling, and the tears fell on the back of Savi's hand, burning it so much that Savi unconsciously withdrew his hand.
"I'm not bullying you, I'm just asking you."
Saiwei frowned and used the language of Planet B1 to communicate with crybaby Lezi: "Don't cry. If you keep crying, I won't take you to find Ningzi."
Under Savi's threat, Lele tried hard to hold back his tears. He tilted his head back and sobbed to Savi, "I want Ningzi's daddy."
He hadn't seen Ningzai's father for almost a day, and he missed Ningzai's father.
Savi took care of him for a day, but when he saw that what he wanted most was still the little fat boy, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"You are not his biological child, why are you so attached to him?"
Savi said this in his own language, otherwise if crybaby Lele heard it, he would have been unable to stop crying.
The two cubs stayed for a while. Lele's tears were wiped by Savi. He held one of Savi's fingers and suddenly answered the question Savi had just asked: "Mom is good to Lele, but Mom is very scared. She is afraid that Lele will die."
Saiwei: “?”
Saiwei was stunned: "What died?"
This time, Lele didn't just hold Savi's fingers. He buried his face in Savi's body, his voice trembling as if he was very scared: "Lele is going to die. Lele is a bad boy."
He looked down at Lele's head buried in his arms, and couldn't understand how such a weak and timid kid could be related to the bad guy
"You're not a bad boy."
Savi corrected him: "You are more like a coward."
Lele shook his head: "Lele is a bad boy."
Maybe it was because Savi always refused to believe it, so Lele raised his head, with tears on his face, and covered his eyes with one hand.
"Brother Savi, Lele will show you... Don't be afraid of Lele."
Lele covered his right eye. If he looked closely, he could see a little green between his fingers. But before he put his hand down, a sound came from under the leaves not far away.
Savi's ears moved and he instantly caught the subtle sound.
He didn't even bother to look into Lele's eyes. He just pulled Lele up and ran away.
"Run faster!"
Savi ran quickly with his baby. After running a few steps, he stopped and carried Lele, who could not run anymore, on his back.
The path in the forest was difficult to walk on, but Savi ran very fast on this difficult path and did not feel any effort at all.
The sound under the leaves behind me became louder and louder, as if something was crawling quickly under the leaves.
Lele lay on Savi's back and hugged Savi's neck tightly.
His tears flowed onto Savi's neck, and the whole cub was shaking.
The monster is here to catch Lele again.
Savi was running wildly with Lele on his back, while Ningzai, who was a little distance away from them, was much calmer than them.
Ningzai, the nanny, was still collecting food for Lele along the way. As he collected, he found that there were not too many insects here.
"Wagner, the bugs here are so strange. My father said that bugs like to live in places like this."
But now there are so few insects on the trees and on the ground that it is not reasonable at all.
Wagner really didn't know much about ordinary bugs. He had only learned about Zerg bugs.
Other insects dare not stay where the Zerg live, otherwise they are likely to be wiped out by the Zerg.
Also, the Zerg's eyes are all green, and those green eyes have the effect of bewitching their prey. The Zerg's hunting method is cruel and disgusting.
"Ningzi."
Wagner, who had heard Ningzi say that this was not the ancient human remains on Earth since arriving here, realized it belatedly: "Tell me, if this is really not the ancient human remains on Earth, then whose remains are they?"
Little cub: “…”
The little cub fell into deep thought.
Both cubs began to think about the short buildings, the numerous basements, and the humid environment which was obviously suitable for insects to live, but there were not many insects.
A few minutes later.
The two cubs who thought bravely were frightened by the conclusions they came to.
"Ningzi, do you think there really are Zerg bugs here?!"
Although the little insect killer is not afraid of insects, if there are too many insects, the little one will be in trouble.
"Wagner, I, let's call the teacher!"
"good!"
When the children come in, they all wear a distress alarm. By pressing the alarm, they can notify the teacher.
But the teacher said that this button should only be pressed in extremely dangerous situations.
The little boy pressed the alarm without hesitation. After pressing it, he looked at Wagner and then looked around.
Now he faces two choices:
1: Continue looking for Lele.
2: Hide quickly with Wagner.
Between one and two, the two cubs thought for a moment and decided to join forces and look for Lele while hiding.
After Ningzai sounded the alarm, the teacher, who was not far away from him, immediately started rushing towards him.
These children are too young. Although the teachers had checked for dangers in the forest alone before they came in, for safety reasons, they still secretly followed the children to ensure their safety.
The teacher in charge of Ningzai's group walked towards Ningzai while calling him on the intercom: "Teacher, how are you doing?"
The teacher is in charge of Savi and Lele's group. Ten minutes ago, after he said something was happening, there was no further movement.
He called his class teacher a few more times on the intercom, and when there was still no response, he sent another text message to the teacher at the headquarters.
"I can't contact my old class teacher. Please contact him."
After sending the text message, the teacher, feeling somewhat uneasy, strode towards Ningzai.
The signal here is not very convenient, so teachers communicate with each other using walkie-talkies or text messages.
The children have signal displays on their bodies, and the position of each child is clearly shown on the device held by the teacher.
The little red dot on the device represents the child.
Although this ancient earth site is not open to the public, the winter camp has used it as its main location for two consecutive years. During these two years, there has never been any safety hazard.
Not only is there no safety hazard, the terrain here, as well as the wonderful ancient creatures, ancient Earth animals and plants that cannot be seen outside, are all a big trump card for winter camping.
Although the teacher felt uneasy, he forced himself to suppress it and continued to move forward.
I don’t know how long I walked.
The teacher noticed that the little red dot representing Ningzai was getting farther and farther away from him.
"what happened?"
The teacher frowned slightly: "Ningzi is running?"
The teacher's inference was correct, Ningzai was running at this moment.
"Wagner, hurry up!"
The fat kid with a backpack on his back was running forward with his short legs, almost using all his strength to run. As he ran, his chubby little face swayed from side to side, making people want to poke him at an inappropriate time.
Wagner ran very fast without his instructions.
The two cubs heard Lele crying and Lele calling them.
The two of them were running hard in the direction where the sound came from.
Lele, who was crying and calling Ningzai "dad", now fell to the ground and was watching Savi fighting with the bugs.
The bug was huge, and it took a lot of effort for Biwei to beat it.
Lele had seen this kind of insect. He forgot whether he saw it in a dream or in reality, but in short, he had seen this kind of insect.
Mom said he had a nightmare, so he dreamed about bugs.
But he doesn't like to dream.
"Brother Savi."
Lele watched Savi gradually lose the upper hand, so he stood up and rushed over: "Hurry up, the bug is trying to catch Lele, run!"
As long as he doesn't run, the bugs will stop chasing Brother Savi.
Of course, Savi couldn't run away by himself. His hand was bitten by a bug and was bleeding.
The smell of blood made the insect's eyes glow green, and a string of mucus like saliva was secreted from the corners of its mouth.
Savi narrowed his eyes and looked at the greedy insect. He took out a pair of black gloves from the innermost part of his backpack.
After putting on gloves, he pulled Lele, who was approaching him, aside and told him not to move. Then he clenched his fists and pounced on the insect.
There was only this one bug in front of Savi, but not far away, there were more than one bugs being stopped and fought by their team leader.
Saiwei knew that the teacher had taken all the pressure. He wanted to make a quick decision, get rid of the bug and leave with Lele.
Ningzai on the desolate planet is not the only expert in killing insects. Savi has apparently also killed insects.
soon.
Savi killed the insect with all his might.
He carried Lele on his back and continued running forward.
Lele lay on his back this time, but didn't cooperate much: "Brother Savi, put Lele down."
As long as Lele is around, Brother Savi will always be pursued.
Saiwei scolded: "Shut up and lie down!"
He didn't want to feed this crybaby to the bugs. If the crybaby was eaten by the bugs, Ningzai and Wagner, who were obsessed with being the baby's nanny, would definitely find him and fight him to the death.
Lele was carried on Savi's back. He was scared and anxious. Finally, he called Ningzai "Dad" with tears in his eyes.
When Ningzi's father was sleeping with him, he whispered to him -
All cubs will meet adults who protect them, and as long as the cubs are in danger, the adults will definitely come.
When Lele heard this, he confessed to Ningzai's father: "Lele only has his mother, no other adults."
As far as he can remember, his mother kept him in the house and didn't let him go out or go to school.
While other children were in kindergarten, he was sitting in the room, listening to his mother teaching him with the kindergarten textbook.
Sometimes his mother loves him very much. She would kiss his little face and say that he should have been a happy little boy.
But sometimes his mother would be afraid of him because his eyes were different from those of other children.
After Ningzai's father heard him say that he had no adults, he seriously corrected him and told him -
"You have a lot of adults now. You have a grandfather, uncles, and many other adults who can only scream when they ride in a rocking car."
"Lele, don't worry, they will protect you in the future."
Thinking of what Ningzi's father said, Lele hugged Saiwei's neck and cried out in sobs: "Grandpa Zhanxi, Uncle Xizel..."
"Save Lele!"
Lele doesn’t want to die. Lele has finally met an adult who can protect him, and he doesn’t want to die.
Savi, who was running with Lele on his back, staggered and almost fell when he heard the name "Uncle Xizel".
Savi knew César.
The two of them had even had simulated battles before, and he really couldn't help himself when he thought of how young César was, suddenly becoming an uncle.
Obviously the situation was very scary, but when he thought about the fat boy's family who were suddenly raised to a higher level because of a fat boy, his always sour little face almost lost its expression.
No matter it is the little fat cub or Lele on his back, they are both magical cubs that make him convinced!
These two cubs, one dares to recognize his father, and the other dares to agree.
Just when Lele was still crying and calling for help, the little fat boy, who had come all the way, finally arrived.
“LeLe!”
The little fat boy heard what Lele was yelling and responded loudly: "Don't be afraid, Daddy is here!!!"
When he really saw Ningzai's father, Lele immediately struggled off Savi's back. He staggered towards Ningzai's father, and when he got closer, he hugged Ningzai's father all of a sudden.
"LeLe is so scared!"
The little fat boy patted his back and was about to tell him not to be afraid.
He looked up and saw the insects growing more and more densely packed.
The little fat boy swallowed the words in his mouth, then picked up Lele and continued running.
Although he has known how to kill insects since he was a child, he can't kill all of these insects!
Savi had just carried Lele all the way. Now that he didn't have to carry Lele anymore, his strength had recovered a little.
And now the one who carries Lele on his back has become Wagner.
Ningzai and Savi both have experience in pest control. They follow behind, while Wagner carries Lele on his back and runs in front.
They wanted to run out of the forest and return to where they lived before.
As for their teachers... they don't have the energy to find one now.
Savi looked at the bugs behind him and felt even more depressed.
He recognized that some of these insects were the ones that the teacher had been restraining just now. Now that the insects were chasing him, the outcome for the teacher might not be optimistic.
Several cubs tried desperately to run away, but César, who chose the practice site, went to the winter camp in person before making his choice.
He knew that this was against the rules, but he still asked about the winter camp schedule.
This kind of illegal behavior was once scolded by his father when Xizel couldn't find the little cub and tried to look for it in the personal information on the backend of the learning machine.
His father did not approve of his behavior at the time.
And this time, knowing that he was going to go, his father did not stop him at all.
The little cub has been gone for several days, and all the adults in the family are worried.
His Majesty the Emperor has obviously been thinking of his little one from time to time recently, both in work and in life.
He no longer has to hold the baby on his lap and swing his legs while letting the baby sleep when he works, and he no longer has to feed the baby from time to time when he eats.
Ivy is the same. She no longer needs to bathe the baby before bed, read picture books with the baby, or sit on the bed with the baby to play with the excavator...
They should feel relieved to have these things saved.
But neither the couple felt relieved.
Ivy even muttered before going to bed: "This winter camp is still a bit long. If we had known earlier, we should have taken Ningzai on a trip. Traveling can also help Ningzai improve his life skills."
Ludwig didn't agree with her, but he thought the same thing in his heart.
With Ludwig's connivance, Cesare, who appeared at the winter camp headquarters, successfully obtained the ancient Earth ruins that they had never announced to the public.
Near the ruins, Xizel picked a place to practice. Before he left, he went to Zhan Xi again.
After meeting Zhan Xi, two more "odd jobs" were added to Xizel's entourage, and the Zhan family's scrap collection business was also announced to be suspended.
