Zhang Ning made a distressed expression, "And he doesn't seem to want to see you anymore. He smashed the nutritional supplement you made last time and said it was very annoying."
"Hate it?" Tang Rou didn't believe it.
She raised Sea Hare with her own hands, and no one knew him better than her.
Two years ago, she had just been rated as a first-level breeder. The engineer who sent the sea hare larvae seemed not to be optimistic about the sea hare, saying that it was too thin and congenitally underdeveloped. It was the lowest-rated embryo in this batch.
The engineer even told her that no one would blame her if she couldn't feed them, and she could just burn them.
In the small incubation box, the larvae were no bigger than the palm of a hand. They didn't even open their eyes and were huddled together.
Looks a little pitiful.
Tang Rou had just graduated from college, she was soft-hearted and full of enthusiasm for this job.
She stayed by the incubator day and night, monitoring all the signs of the little life.
Real-time temperature, humidity, blood flow rate and various movements, until he was in a shallow water tank, the data stabilized.
I wanted to touch it, but I was afraid of hurting the delicate little thing.
At a certain moment, he woke up in the water tank, opened his eyes, and the first hazy figure that came into his vision was Tang Rou.
For fear of scaring him, she lowered her voice and gave him her first greeting from this world.
"Hello, little rabbit."
She tapped the glass cover and smiled, "Nice to meet you."
He vaguely felt the kindness and her joy.
The dying little life finally woke up. At first, Tang Rou was worried every day.
Aplysia's condition was not healthy, with a layer of mucous membrane attached to his moist eyes. People at the medical center said it was caused by incomplete embryo hatching. Tang Rou was worried about his vision being damaged, so she stayed with him in the laboratory all night long.
He is weak and needs to be fed nutritional supplements every one or two hours.
She didn't dare to sleep, so she set an alarm clock every half hour, checked his physical signs after waking up, and then fed him.
Fortunately, he grew up safely.
Seeing that Sea Hare finally responded to the outside world, he began to rely on her intimately. However, the conjunctiva on his eyes never fell off and began to become inflamed.
There are few medical places for newborn embryos, the rating of Aplysia is low, and there is no one to care about it. Tang Rou gritted her teeth and tried to clean up Aplysia herself.
Disinfection tools, antibiotic ointment, tweezers, and cotton swabs were all laid out. Tang Rou's hands were shaking and she forced herself to calm down.
It must have been very painful. The little boy kept crying, but he obeyed her words and did not resist or make a sound.
The conditioned reflex of the eyes kept trembling, and the eyes became increasingly red.
Tang Rou's nose also turned red.
The little boy was trembling with pain. Even though he didn't know what she was doing, he still trusted her completely and allowed her to operate the knife on his most fragile organ.
Fortunately, the layer of conjunctiva was successfully removed, and even more fortunately, No. 11 awakened the healing power at this time.
The boy also became more beautiful and flawless, with a snow-white skin without a single flaw, like a delicate and beautiful crystal doll in a glass showcase.
After several healing and regeneration tests, his rating successfully reached an A.
From a dying larva abandoned by the base, he became an advanced healing experimental subject praised by everyone.
From then on, I couldn't tell whether it was because of the nestling complex or for some other reason. Tang Rou had always been Sea Bunny's first trusted partner. He would only be close to Tang Rou alone and would behave obediently in front of Tang Rou.
So such a sea rabbit would smash her nutritional supplements because she was angry? Tang Rou didn't believe it.
"Impossible." She shook her head slowly, "I want to see him."
"Please respect my thoughts!" Zhang Ning raised his hand to block her way, looking very angry, "I am his new breeder, don't you understand what sense of proportion is?"
Tang Rou sneered, "I would like to ask you, why do you keep stopping me?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Ning asked, "What else can I do to him! This is a base! So many pairs of eyes are watching!"
The noise of people rustling around became louder.
"that is."
"Too unreasonable."
“There’s really no sense of proportion.”
Tang Rou clenched her fingers, but unfortunately, that office really didn't belong to her anymore.
Just then, someone called her from behind.
"Don Breeder."
Tang Rou turned around and found that it was a senior clerk from the Tower of Babel.
"Professor Xu wants to talk to you and asks you to go to the conference room now."
Professor Xu?
You know, there is only one person in the Tower of Babel who can be called "Professor Xu".
Zhang Ning's expression changed, and Tang Rou also looked suspicious.
The man explained warmly, "You went to the service island yesterday to apply for an experimental subject search project, right?"
Tang Rao turned around and said, "Have you found him?"
"I've found it. Professor Xu wants to see you first. Please come with me." The clerk made a gesture of invitation.
Tang Rou did not refuse the qualification of senior professor, she subconsciously looked at Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning showed a bit of understanding and said, "Don't worry, he is my experimental subject after all. I will take good care of him."
The door to Area A is not far away, but it becomes extremely difficult to enter there.
There were many pairs of eyes staring at her at the gate, but few of them were kind.
Tang Rou took a slow breath, suddenly took a step back, and bent her back deeply towards Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning watched in surprise as the young woman bowed to him.
"Deputy Director Zhang, I was willful just now."
The woman's spine is thin and thin, which is particularly clear under the white base uniform.
Like a bent bamboo tree, she said sincerely and humbly,
"I hope you won't be angry with me, and... please take good care of him. No. 11 is very delicate. I'm afraid he will need company after the experiment."
Zhang Ning looked at the woman's bent waist with an unclear expression: "Yes, he is indeed... very squeamish."
Tang Rou suppressed the emotions in her heart and spoke in a low voice, "If he has a temper, please be tolerant. No. 11 is young and timid... Please be patient with him."
Don't offend the innocent sea bunny just because you hate her.
Many people watched this scene.
They originally thought that this woman who was promoted to District S would be very arrogant.
After all, the Tower of Babel is managed strictly according to the hierarchical system. People at each level higher up want to look at people with their noses. There are very few people in S District who have such a good attitude.
Maybe she is different from the rumors.
"You're welcome, Xiao Tang, aren't you very busy? Go quickly."
Zhang Ning raised his hand to help her up, his tone was gentle but weird.
He was very happy, watching the young woman who had been promoted to the S area talk down to him, was broken by him, and still smiled and said thank you.
Tang Rou raised her head, and it was just as he expected.
She said, "Thank you."
…
Tang Rou was led by the senior clerk through Area S and arrived at the tower-shaped office building of the Tower of Babel.
The white building reaches straight to the sky, really like the rumored human tower leading to heaven.
The elevator goes all the way up and shuttles through the floors divided by levels. Steel frames flash outside the transparent glass, and in the distance is the boundless ocean shining with sparkling waves.
With a ding, the elevator arrived.
The staff in the office building were like machines running coldly. No one looked up, and no one was curious about Tang Rou's arrival. They walked all the way through the office area and arrived at the deepest silver-white office.
Inside, several senior professors in casual clothes were discussing something with serious expressions.
The clerk knocked on the glass door and said, "Professor Xu, Breeder Tang is here."
