Chapter 290
"What did they do to these people?" Rosie's voice was soft, but trembling a little.
"I don't know." Mike shook his head. "But what is certain is that these pirates must be conducting some illegal experiments."
At this moment, a soldier rushed in and said, "Sir, we found a laboratory next door with living test subjects inside!"
"What?" Rosie, Mike and Nightingale asked in unison.
"Take us there quickly!" Rosie said, and ran out of the laboratory first.
Mike and Nightingale followed closely behind.
Led by the soldiers, they arrived at the adjacent laboratory. This one was much larger and neater than the previous one. In the center of the lab, a large glass container filled with green liquid lay quietly inside. A female was covered in tubes, like a butterfly trapped in a cocoon.
"She...she's still alive?" Nightingale's voice trembled, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Yes, she's alive," the soldier replied. "We've checked her, and her vital signs are stable."
Luo Xi walked to the container and carefully observed the female inside. She had fair skin and delicate features, and even in this situation, it was difficult to hide her beauty.
"Get her out." Rosie said.
"Yes!" The soldiers responded and began to remove the pipes from the container.
However, at this moment, something strange happened. The woman in the container suddenly opened her eyes, a red light flashed in her eyes, and then a powerful energy burst out from her body, instantly shattering the glass container.
"Be careful!" Mike shouted and quickly stood in front of Rosie.
The powerful energy hit Mike directly, knocking him out and hitting the wall with a loud "bang".
"Mike!" Rosie exclaimed and ran over.
"I... I'm fine." Mike struggled to stand up, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his golden hair scattered messily on his forehead, and his blue eyes were dull at this moment.
"Nightingale, how are you?" Rosie turned to look at Nightingale, only to find that Nightingale had fallen into a coma, her face as pale as paper, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
"Damn it!" Rosie cursed inwardly. She knew that all this was caused by the experimental subject.
She looked up at the experimental subject and saw her slowly standing up from the ground. Her eyes were cold and full of murderous intent, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"You... all deserve to die!" The experimental subject's voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with deep hatred.
"Who are you?" Luo Xi asked coldly, looking at the experimental subject.
The subject did not answer. She slowly raised her hand, and a powerful energy condensed in her hand, forming a red energy ball.
The next second, she threw the energy ball in her hand towards Rosie.
Rosie wanted to dodge, but her body seemed to be frozen and she couldn't move.
Just as the energy ball was about to hit Rosie, at this critical moment, Mike suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Rosie.
"No!" Rosie cried heartbreakingly.
However, it was too late, the energy ball hit Mike's chest hard with a loud bang.
Mike groaned, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.
"Mike!" Rosie's tears burst out. She wanted to run over, but her body was out of control.
The experimental subject walked towards Rosie step by step, her eyes were cold, and she looked at Rosie as if she were a dead person.
"Do you like the gift I gave you?" The subject's voice suddenly became gentle, but in this weird atmosphere, it seemed particularly creepy.
Rosie's pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked at the experimental subject with eyes full of shock and disbelief.
"Do you like the gift I gave you?" The subject's voice suddenly became gentle, but in this weird atmosphere, it seemed particularly creepy.
Luo Xi's pupils shrank suddenly, and she stared at the experimental subject, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. This voice, this tone, how could it be...
"Don't worry, we will meet soon." The experimental subject's voice sounded eerie, with a strange smile, and his body suddenly began to glow, like a bomb about to explode.
"Oh no! She's going to self-destruct!" Mike's face changed. He used up his last bit of strength to pounce on Rosie and held her tightly under him, like a solid shield, to protect her from all harm.
He was already seriously injured. If there was another explosion... Admiral Mike knew he was in great danger. He smiled gently, but his eyes were filled with the determination to die: "Sissi, if there is a next life, I hope to meet you sooner..."
Luo Xi's tears fell like beads from a broken string. She cried and shook her head, "No..."
The two couldn't help but hug and kiss each other, as if they wanted to merge into each other's bones and blood.
"Bang!" The experimental body exploded, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the metal equipment was blown into powder, like a sudden bloody storm.
However, the expected pain did not come. Rosie was stunned for a moment and looked up. She saw a layer of light green light covering her and Mike, like an indestructible fortress, isolating the shock wave of the explosion.
"This...what is this?" Rosie looked at Mike with disbelief on her face. Why did this green light look so much like her superpower?
Mike was also stunned. He looked at the green light shield and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Where did this thing come from?
Rosie looked at Admiral Mike with an embarrassed face and felt both touched and amused.
This time, perhaps judging that she would not survive, the Eternal Ring defense on her hand automatically activated, blocking the attack for her and Mike.
She didn't notice that after the Eternal Ring was activated, a faint light flashed across her abdomen.
At this moment, Rosie suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at her flesh and blood, or as if a blunt knife was stirring back and forth inside, causing her excruciating pain.
"Ah!" Luo Xi screamed, holding her stomach, and squatted down in pain, like a boiled shrimp.
"Xixi, what's wrong with you?" Mike was frightened. He hurriedly supported Rosie, but found that her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her face was as pale as paper, like a flower that was about to wither.
"I... I think I'm about to give birth..." Rosie's voice was weak and trembling, and she spoke intermittently, like the humming of a mosquito.
"What?!" Mike's eyes widened in disbelief, his voice cracking. "This... at this time?"
He looked at the messy laboratory around him, which looked like the ruins of a war, and then looked at Rosie's painful expression. For a moment, he was at a loss, like a child who couldn't find his home.
"Hurry... hurry and call a doctor!" Mike shouted in panic, his voice changed. The man who was usually calm and even a little cold now sounded like a young boy who had not yet found a partner.
"It's... too late..." Rosie held Mike's hand tightly, her nails digging deep into his flesh, as if she was grabbing the last straw, "I... I'm going to give birth..."
A gentle energy descended upon her, and Rosie felt as if she were enveloped in a hot spring, so comfortable that she almost moaned. The excruciating pain she had felt was now much less severe, as if a gentle hand had gently soothed her tense nerves.
She turned around in surprise and saw Xingyu's familiar face, with a hint of helplessness.
"Xingyu, why are you here?" There was a hint of surprise and a hint of guilt in Luo Xi's voice.
Xingyu sighed: "I was worried about you, so I followed you to see." His voice was very soft, like a feather, gently falling on Luo Xi's heart.
Luo Xi lowered her head guiltily, like a child who had done something wrong. She had originally refused to be followed, wanting to venture out on her own and hone her combat skills. Later, when her companions disagreed, she reluctantly agreed to let either Xingyu or Mike accompany her.
Her original intention was to practice her combat skills, but she did not expect to encounter today's accident. Not only did she encounter the self-destructing experimental subject, but she also went into labor because of these accidents.
Luo Xi was a little embarrassed. She looked at Xingyu and whispered, "I... I'm fine..."
Xingyu looked at Luo Xi and shook his head helplessly: "You, you are always so worrying." He walked to Luo Xi and gently hugged her in his arms, "Don't do this again next time, understand?"
"Yeah." Rosie nodded obediently, like a docile kitten, without the dashing look she had just shown when she was commanding the battle.
Xingyu looked at her like this and smiled helplessly, the doting in his eyes almost overflowing. He reached out and gently stroked Luo Xi's hair, as if comforting a frightened little animal.
Fortunately, she had the fertility system to protect her, and Xingyu's life energy to help her alleviate the pain. Luo Xi felt a warm current flowing through her body, and the original pain was greatly alleviated. She closed her eyes, feeling this rare tranquility.
"Bear with it, it will be over soon." Xingyu's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze in March. He carefully guided the energy in Luo Xi's body to help her give birth smoothly.
Luo Xi gritted her teeth, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She could feel a small life struggling inside her, wanting to come into this world.
"It's out!" There was a hint of surprise in Xingyu's voice. He lifted up a petite body and carefully placed it in Luo Xi's arms.
Unlike male cubs who are born in animal form, female cubs are born in human form. They are small and delicate, with skin as white and tender as tofu, and a pair of eyes like black grapes that roll around, looking at the world curiously.
"It's a girl." Luo Xi looked at the little one in her arms with a gentle smile on her face. She stretched out her finger and gently poked the little one's cheek. It was soft and looked like...
The little one seemed to feel Rosie's touch and she opened her mouth wide, revealing a toothless smile, looking as cute as a little angel.
"She smiled!" Rosie said in surprise, her voice full of joy.
"Yes, she smiled." Xingyu looked at Luo Xi and the little guy, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing. He reached out and hugged Luo Xi and the child in his arms, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Mike watched this scene, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He looked at the little life and suddenly felt that his previous persistence didn't seem so important anymore.
"Congratulations." He walked over to Rosie and said softly.
"Thank you." Rosie looked at Mike with a sincere smile on her face.
Xingyu also treated Mike and Nightingale. The life-related ability is indeed the top-level healing ability, and the healing effect is several times better than that of the wood-related ability.
Nightingale slowly woke up and saw Rosie holding the baby. She was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Rosie, you gave birth? Is it a little female? So cute!"
She wanted to go forward and hug the child, but was stopped by Mike. "You just woke up and your body is still weak. Don't move." Mike's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.
Because humanoid babies are difficult to give birth to, many females choose to have caesarean sections when giving birth. Of course, more females will choose to transplant the cub into an artificial womb before it grows to a certain size, which will reduce the pain of childbirth and the risk of dystocia.
Females are scarce in the interstellar world, so even if there is a shortage of cubs and population, the safety of reproductive females will be prioritized.
But Rosie doesn't have this problem. With the fertility system, it is easy for her to give birth to either a female or a male cub.
"Congratulations, Sissi, it's a little princess." There was a hint of tenderness in Admiral Mike's voice. He looked at the little one in Rosie's arms, his eyes full of love.
Although it is not his and Xixi's cub, who wouldn't like a sweet and soft female cub?
"Thank you." Rosie looked at Mike and smiled gratefully. She looked down at the little guy in her arms, her heart filled with love.
"Let's give her a name." Xingyu said.
"Ling Yuan and I have already decided on her name. She will be called Little Star, Ling Xing."
"Little Star?" Xingyu and Mike looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, let's call her Little Star." Xingyu said, "I hope she will shine forever like a star."
"Yeah!" Luo Xi nodded vigorously. She looked at the little star in her arms and said softly, "Little star, you must grow up quickly and shine like a star forever."
Little Star seemed to understand what Rosie said. She waved her little hands and babbled, as if responding to Rosie.
"She is so cute." The Nightingale also looked at Little Star, her eyes full of love.
"Yeah, that's cute," Rosie said with a smile, "We'll have a new member from now on."
"Yes!" Nightingale nodded vigorously, her tone firm, "From now on, we will protect her together."
"Okay, let's protect her together." Rosie looked down at the little star in her arms, her eyes full of love. The little star seemed to feel the mother's love, waving her little hands and babbling, as if responding to Rosie.
Nightingale looked at the little one in Rosie's arms, her eyes full of love. She carefully reached out her hand, wanting to touch Little Star's face, but was afraid of hurting her. Her fingers paused in the air for a moment, and finally gently landed on Little Star's swaddling clothes.
"She is so cute." Nightingale said softly, her voice full of tenderness.
At this moment, a strange red light flashed in the eyes of the nightingale, who had been looking at the female cub tenderly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The smile was gloomy and cold: "Yes...it is indeed necessary to protect it well..."
