Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 970

Right then, Anthony and Cosmos were on their way.

Anthony's gaze was fixed on the laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard. Just then, his wristwatch suddenly began to vibrate.

He lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch. When he saw the numbers on it, his brows abruptly knitted together.

“Pull over, Cosmos!” Anthony urged in a low voice all of a sudden.

Hearing that, Cosmos frowned. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I'm sure. Quick!” Anthony asserted without taking his eyes off the laptop.

His voice was filled with urgency, and it was as though something of great importance was at stake.

Cosmos didn't ask any more questions, pulling over right away.

That place was desolate in itself, with hardly anyone passing by except for those from Vermillion Base.

But at that moment, they were only a few hundred meters away from Vermillion Base. In fact, he could already see its gates.

After the car had come to a stop, Anthony immediately keyed in a string of numbers into his phone. Then, his fingers moved back to the laptop and continued flying across the keyboard.

Despite having no idea what he was doing, Cosmos knew it must be something to do with Vermillion Base.

Hesitating for a moment, he took out his phone and called Dave.

As he made the call, his gaze was fixed in Anthony's direction. After exchanging a few words, he hung up the phone.

Looking at Anthony, he uttered, “Dave will be here soon, so don't worry too much.”

Nonetheless, Anthony scanned his eyes over the laptop screen, his eyes moving back and forth rapidly. Hearing that, he muttered, “There's no time left.”

“What do you mean?”

“They are already surrounded!”

“How could it be?” Cosmos questioned, disbelief written all over his face.

Anthony didn't elaborate further, merely staring at the laptop screen. With his brows furrowed in concentration, he looked strikingly similar to Kenneth.

At that exact moment, he tapped a few times on the keyboard. As he gazed at the screen, his eyes gradually lit up.

Utterly bewildered, Cosmos followed his line of sight.

On the screen were things he had never seen before. They appeared to be some highly advanced technology.

“What is this?” Cosmos asked.

“You'll find out soon enough!” With that said, Anthony gazed out into the distance as though waiting for something.

A few seconds later, a buzzing sound echoed from the sky. It sounded like something in a swarm, for the noise was quite loud.

Drawn by the sound, Cosmos curiously lifted his eyes and looked out. Due to the darkness of the night, he saw nothing even after scanning his eyes around. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly noticed a dense group of objects in the distant sky seemingly flying in their direction.

Upon seeing that, Cosmos squinted. “What are those?”

Anthony said nothing, watching as the object flew toward him. A relieved smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Luckily, they're in time!

Cosmos squinted, carefully tracking the objects flying in the sky. As they gradually approached, his eyes widened in surprise. After a moment, he finally surmised with certainty, “They're... unmanned aircraft?”

“Yes!” Anthony affirmed in a low voice. His gaze was fixed in the same direction, hostility brimming in his eyes.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Cosmos looked at him. Just as he was going to say something, he suddenly narrowed his eyes upon meeting the boy's gaze. “You... Don't tell me you got them here?”

“If not?” Anthony retorted.

“Where did you get these from?” Cosmos asked.

“That's not important. What matters is there's hope for them!” While saying that, Anthony retracted his gaze away and refocused it on the laptop.
