Hearing this, Qin Qianluo was a little confused. She didn't know if it was okay to drink it. Teen milk powder shouldn't be suitable for infants, right? She asked 001 to check. If it was okay, she could drink it for now. If not, she would think of another way.

A moment later, 001 spoke up, "Luo Bao, I don't recommend drinking it. They say our nutritional needs are different."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qianlu fell silent, stopped writing information, and pondered what to feed the baby. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a solution and decided to ask everyone later.

The group found the Baby Tower strange. How could such a bizarre structure exist? Based on what they had just seen, the baby tower shouldn't contain only infants who died young; some might have been deliberately thrown in.

People couldn't understand how anyone could bear to abandon their child, especially to a place where there was absolutely no way to survive. If both parents were gone, the child should have been placed in an orphanage.

The tower marked "Daughter" has far too many remains. Could it be that both parents were alive but simply didn't want a girl? So she was lost at birth?

While everyone was still pondering this question, Princess Qingyun mentioned what babies eat and baby formula. What were those? They had never heard of them before.

If there's no wet nurse, rice porridge will suffice. Why is Princess Qingyun pondering so much about food? There's still some rice porridge in the space.

After noting down the things she had investigated that day, Qin Qian stretched and left the study. She heard from 001 that everyone was looking at the babies in the incubators, so she went over there as well.

Pushing open the door, she saw a crowd gathered around the insulated box, looking at it curiously. She was both amused and exasperated. Hearing the door open, everyone turned around and saw Princess Qingyun enter. They bowed and greeted her, but Qin Qianlu waved her hand and walked into the crowd.

The baby had woken up and was looking around curiously with wide eyes. When she saw Qin Qianlu looking at her, even though she knew the baby couldn't see anything, she was still happy.

After checking the data on the incubator and confirming that everything was normal, I gently picked up the little one. I had just fed her some spiritual spring water, and she looked much better now.

Holding the little dumpling, Qin Qianluo asked, "Does anyone know what to feed her? There are no wet nurses in the space, and it's not very convenient to find one in Xuanyuan Kingdom."

Xuan Ying said, "Princess, you can feed her some rice porridge. There's a deer in the space that recently gave birth to a calf, so you can also feed her some deer milk."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Qin Qianluo didn't understand these things very well. Seeing that everyone agreed, she asked Qianying to cook rice porridge and handed over the task of receiving the milk to Xuanyou.

With the food problem solved, the question arose: who would take care of her? They didn't know how to take care of a child. When they asked this question, everyone looked at each other, unsure how to look after such a young child.

Qianchao, who was much better, came over and said that they could take care of the baby and that nothing would happen to it. They would take good care of the child. Qin Qianluo nodded, handed the baby over to Qianchao and the others, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After having dinner with everyone, Qin Qianluo returned to her room. 001 had always felt that something was wrong with Luo Bao. From the moment she saw the baby tower, she started acting strangely. Luo Bao behaved too normally, without any anger or even asking any questions.

Looking at the person leaning against the soft couch, 001 couldn't help but ask, "Luo Bao, aren't you angry?"

Qin Qianluo paused in her book-turning. "What's the use of getting angry? Only by quickly gathering the defense plans can we avert the tragedies we've witnessed along the way."

001 did not respond. Although it still found it strange, it did not continue to ask. It knew that Luo Bao must have its own plan, and it would not disrupt Luo Bao's plan.

What 001 didn't know was that the moment Qin Qianlu saw the baby tower, she had already decided that when attacking the Xuanyuan Kingdom, she would also come and personally send the person who abandoned the baby girl here off. Some people don't need to be saved, and there's no need to save them. How could evil people suddenly realize their mistakes? Humanity should just destroy them.

After reading for a while, Qin Qianluo prepared to rest. She asked 001 to keep an eye out and wake her up if anyone came to abandon the baby. 001 agreed, and Qin Qianluo went to sleep peacefully.

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, after breakfast, she took Mo Yi and Xuan Ying out of the space. She had Xuan Ying hide and keep watch nearby to prevent anyone from abandoning the baby. She wanted to catch that person and find out more about the inside story.

After completing the normal exploration, they returned to the vicinity of the Infant Tower. Xuan Ying appeared before them. No one had come today. Qin Qianluo nodded and led the two into the space, preparing to continue tomorrow.

At the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), 001 suddenly woke up Qin Qianluo. It turned out that someone had come to abandon the baby under the cover of night, and 001 happened to discover it.

Hearing the sound, Qin Qianluo opened her eyes, stood up nimbly, and with a thought, left the space, silently standing behind the person.

The man, who was about to throw a baby girl into the tower, was unaware that he was still muttering to himself, "If I throw a few more worthless babies into the tower, I can finally get married. But I'll have to find one who can give me a son; I won't raise any worthless babies."

While he was still muttering to himself, Qin Qianluo's knife silently landed on his neck. For a moment, the man stood there stiffly, his movement of throwing the child halted.

He stammered, "I don't know... I don't know which hero you are... I... I'm just passing by... I have no money..."

A cold laugh rang out, and Qin Qianluo lowered her voice to ask, "Heh, where did you steal this baby from? Speak!"

The man trembled even more violently. He dared not make any rash moves and could only say, "Hero, spare my life! I didn't steal this baby. The baby's parents hired me to throw it here. Please, sir, spare my life!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qianlu frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "What's your name?"

The man, his leg trembling, stammered, "My name is Li Tieniu... I'm a villager from Yongle Village up ahead..."

After 001 glanced at his face and indicated that he had seen the information, he struck the man on the back of the head with the hilt of his knife, and the man passed out.

Qin Qianluo picked up the baby from the man's arms and entered the space. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was another newborn baby about to be abandoned. Anger surged in her eyes. She went to Xuan Mei's room and knocked on the door.

Everyone woke up as soon as 001 spoke. Xuanmei heard the knocking, got up and opened the door. She saw Princess Qingyun holding an infant whose body was still stained with the mother's blood and quickly reached out to take it.

Following her strength, Qin Qianlu handed the child to her, explained the situation, and then asked her to clean up. She went back to her room, washed up, and changed her clothes.

After everything was settled, Qin Qianluo leaned back on the soft couch and asked 001, "How was it? What did the documents say?"

001, speechless with shock at the man's information, was somewhat bewildered. Even though it was just a string of data, it felt that they were really cruel. Such a small baby, just abandoned like that.

It sorted out the information and said, "Luo Bao, Li Tie Niu is a man who specializes in charging money to throw newborn female infants into the tower. He charges 40 coins per time. This is how it is done in the small villages around here, and he is not the only one."

People here generally consider baby girls to be a financial burden, and they don't want to raise them. Some families already have two or three baby girls, while others have none at all, and they throw them into the tower after birth.

Leaning against the wall, Qin Qianlu nodded. "I expected this outcome. After all, I had heard of this before, but this is the first time I've seen it here."

001 had also read a lot of information and naturally knew about the Baby Tower, but hearing about it was one thing and seeing it with one's own eyes was another.

It asked, "Luo Bao, what are you planning to do about this?"

Qin Qianluo sighed, "There's nothing we can do. We can only wait until we conquer the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom before we have the right to address this issue. Right now, we can't do anything; any major actions would easily expose us."

001 thought so too. This was still Xuanyuan Kingdom, not Tianxuan. Things were never so easy here. Moreover, Luobao was being pursued by enemies, so they couldn't take any risks. They thought that what they had done today would make those families who abandoned their babies more restrained.

After all, the belief in ghosts and gods is still very popular nowadays, and ordinary people still dare not confront ghosts and gods. Hopefully, this sense of awe can last until Tianxuan attacks.

After resting for a while, Qin Qianluo lay back down on the bed and went to sleep. She needed to hurry. This feeling of wanting to save people but being powerless made her feel somewhat frustrated.

Two months later, Qin Qianluo only had the county closest to Tianxuan left to investigate. However, since she had entered from there, she had a map without even going inside.

Upon arriving at the outskirts of the county, he first entered the space with Ling Xue, took out the floor plan that 001 had printed out when he first arrived, and carefully studied where to sneak in so that he could avoid being discovered by Youming and the others and leave successfully.

Progress was not as smooth as before. Almost every place was not a weak point, and the possibility of infiltrating on my own was relatively small, unless the people guarding each checkpoint were ordinary soldiers, not experts.

Unfortunately, this was just a hypothetical scenario. He had seen fully armed soldiers patrolling outside the county, so there was no way that was possible. There must have been a tight net set up inside, just waiting for his arrival.

Youming was currently in a border county, waiting for someone to walk into his trap. He was very satisfied with his plan; not even a fly could get past him. Qin Qianluo would be caught sooner or later.

The other experts were also stationed at various checkpoints, waiting for Qin Qianluo's arrival. They were not as angry as Youming, but they were still angry that so many people had been mobilized but they couldn't capture a little girl.

If they fail to capture her this time, they will lose all face. Therefore, they must capture her, even if it means staying here until Qin Qianlu appears.

Qin Qianlu looked at the distant city gate through the light screen, frowning in thought. Why not just attack and take over this county? After all, there are firearms in the space, and her specialty is field artillery. A few shells would wipe out half of the enemy.

As she pondered whether to use the light or heavy machine gun after firing the shell, 001 suddenly called out, "Luo Bao, I need to upgrade!"

Qin Qianluo was taken aback. 001 hadn't leveled up in a long time. It had leveled up twice in a short period of time before, and it had been almost half a year. Was it finally going to level up to level three?

She nodded and asked, "How long will it take to upgrade this time?"

001 glanced at the progress bar and estimated it, saying, "Luo Bao, this time it will take at least three days to upgrade. Luo Bao, don't go to the county yet. Wait until I've upgraded before going. This upgrade will activate the protection mechanism."

After thinking it over, Qin Qianluo did not object. Even if they used firearms, it would still be impossible to avoid injuries to some of their people. If they could safely bring their people back to Tianxuan, she did not necessarily have to use firearms.

All that's needed for this border county is a map. When the two countries are at war, the defenses of the border county will definitely be strengthened, so recording it won't be accurate.
