That night, Li Xingchen held Zero's neck tightly as they stood on the roof of the tallest building in the experimental base. Gazing out into the distance, the night sky was as dark as ink, but tonight the stars twinkled brightly. Despite the darkness, the surrounding scenery was still vaguely discernible.

The city in the distance is brightly lit.

Zero stood there quietly, eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing and focused. He slowly turned his head, surveying his surroundings, taking in every detail. Finally, Zero's gaze settled in a specific direction. He had found the answer, or perhaps made a crucial decision.

Then, Zero leaped without hesitation, swooping down from the rooftop like a nimble bird. He didn't fly towards the bustling city with its dazzling lights in the distance, but instead rushed towards the dense and deep forest on the other side.

The wind whistled in their ears, the leaves rustled, and the figures of Zero and Li Xingchen quickly disappeared in the green shade of the forest.

After a long and intense gallop, Zero finally arrived in front of an extremely huge tree. He stopped while holding Li Xingchen. The two, one big and one small, looked up at the tree in the same posture.

This tree is so massive that if one were to hug it to measure its thickness, it would probably take a hundred people! Furthermore, it towers into the sky, making one gaze upwards.

Even more remarkable is the fact that wherever its leaves grow, they emanate a dreamlike, shimmering light. On this night, the entire tree is visibly enveloped in a mysterious glow. It stands alone in the center of the pond, its surrounding waters perfectly carving out a dedicated territory for it to thrive and grow freely. From afar, it resembles a king among trees, majestically standing in the deepest reaches of the forest, emanating an incomparable aura and charm.

In his previous life, he had watched too many science fiction films like Avatar and various magical novels. This was a completely new world, so Li Xingchen was not surprised at all. Even if a ghost fell from the sky, he would not be surprised.

Zero took a deep breath, pushed off with both feet, and leaped up the branches like an arrow. He nimbly maneuvered between the branches, but after several leaps, he still couldn't reach the top. The tree soared into the sky, seemingly reaching straight into the heavens, its height far exceeding the tower before! Zero found a fork high up and leaned against the trunk, holding Li Xingchen.

Blinked his eyes.

A string of data flashed through Zero's mind: Babies need plenty of sleep. Resting early and getting enough sleep is crucial for them. It helps their physical development and healthy growth, promotes brain development and function, and boosts their immunity, allowing them to better resist illness...

Then, Li Xingchen watched as Zero gracefully extended his index finger, a soft, shimmering white light emanating from it, a dreamlike quality. The jade-like finger gently tapped his forehead, and instantly, a strange feeling washed over Li Xingchen. A sense of drowsiness washed over him, and Li Xingchen involuntarily closed his eyes, trying to hold on a little longer, but his body felt truly sleepy.

When Li Xingchen woke up again, it was already daybreak. The clear, melodious chirping of birds filled his ears. Leaves swayed gently in the breeze, and sunlight filtered through the cracks in the leaves, creating dappled shadows. These shadows fell precisely on the little brother holding him, casting a dappled shadow on his beautiful figure.

The little brother had obviously woken up a long time ago and was looking at him quietly.

Li Xingchen was touched and hugged him all night.

Just as he was about to stretch, Li Xingchen felt his lower abdomen swell up, and an irresistible urge surged towards his body like a tide.

Oh no, this is the feeling of wanting to pee! His little face instantly turned red, and his body twisted unconsciously.

Seeing this, Zero looked at him curiously, his head tilted, seemingly not understanding his predicament. Li Xingchen was anxious and opened his mouth wide to say, "I need to pee!", but only a few meaningless syllables came out.

Ah! I can’t hold it in any longer...

Li Xingchen could no longer care about anything else. He hurriedly adjusted his lying position, then took a deep breath. A stream of clear water poured out of his body like a waterfall, drawing a perfect arc on the tree.

Fortunately, Li Xingchen was still young and was wearing open-crotch pants, so his clothes didn't get wet. Otherwise, this scene would have been extremely embarrassing, a scene of social demise!

As his body was freed, Li Xingchen breathed a long sigh of relief, his face revealing a look of relief. Meanwhile, Zero, standing beside him, watched in shock, his usually expressionless face suddenly becoming animated.

His brain immediately solved his puzzle: Babies need to excrete because their bodies are constantly metabolizing. After babies consume food and liquids, they produce metabolic waste...

"Gu, hungry..."

The baby's body really can't stand hunger. He wants to drink milk as soon as he opens his eyes.

"...Guguo~ah..." Brother, I'm hungry. Li Xingchen scratched his empty bottle twice and babbled.

He has been trying very hard to learn to speak, but his pronunciation is not standard at all, probably because he has no teeth.

This time, Zero realized that he was hungry. He didn't want to wake Li Xingchen when he first opened his eyes, so he didn't go to get water. Fortunately, there was a water source under the tree, and it looked very clear and clean.

Zero scanned it and it showed that it was drinkable.

After cleaning the bottle, fill it with half a bottle of water and hold it in the palm of your hand to warm it.

Although it was his first time, Zero, guided by the powerful knowledge in his brain, scooped two spoonfuls of milk powder very professionally and shook it gently. When the milk powder seemed to be dissolved, he stuffed it into the little one's already impatient hands.

Li Xingchen half leaned in the cradle, and before putting the bottle into his mouth, he did not forget to give his little brother a big smile as usual.

“…Higuoguo…”Thank you, brother.

Zero watched quietly, holding him until he finished sucking the last sip of milk. After cleaning the bottle, he put it in the blanket behind him.

Holding him, he searched for several tough vines outside. The slender black tentacles reappeared, and after a few twists and turns, they wove a simple cradle like a bird's nest.

After doing all this, Zero jumped onto the tree with a few nimble movements. This time, he carefully found a suitable tree fork, took off the blanket that had been used as a backpack on his back and spread it on the tree fork. The milk powder and bottle were put aside, and then he carefully and steadily placed Li Xingchen in the cradle.

During this time, Li Xingchen was always quiet. Except for the occasional "mumble", he seemed particularly well-behaved at other times.

Zero had never been around other babies before, so he didn't notice anything unusual about this little creature. Even if he had noticed something different, he probably wouldn't have paid much attention.

He has decided to keep this little thing.
