Chapter 62

Su Ran rode on the little bird and flew all the way to the cliff cave where the colonel was.

Only then did he realize that the distant sky had been dyed blood red again, spreading out bit by bit, like spilled paint, slowly spreading from this patch of the sky...

And below, where they passed, large buildings, aberrations, and those strange aquatic octopuses were all mixed together.

Those large races were completely mixed together.

Long ago, the Rose Elder had told him that every race had its own territory. Humans had their cities, while the Rose Family had their deep woodlands and the Vine Family had their deep forests. But ultimately, the entire world was held together by a kind of "biological order."

Each race opens its arms to other races, yet also defends itself against them.

But now the relationship is becoming more and more chaotic...it seems that the whole world is blended together in a mess.

Su Ran felt pain in his flower bud from the wind, so he blocked it with a leaf. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the promise the colonel had made to him.

"hang gliding……"

Su Ran whispered, "Sitting up there, the view must be beautiful."

As he spoke, he grabbed the wings of the flying bird and began to feel sad again.

It was evening when Su Ran returned to the cliff cave. Under the shadows, he approached the colonel. He stood on tiptoe, climbing up bit by bit, and finally waved his small leaves to touch the colonel's forehead.

"It looks like he's alright..." Su Ran whispered, "The wound has healed a lot too."

But even after saying this, Su Ran still felt confused.

He didn't do anything except hold the colonel to sleep every day. However, the wound did improve visibly.

Su Ran was lost in thought. He carefully climbed down, clutching his shirt, and plopped down on the man's lap, beginning to think seriously. After a few seconds, he stood up again and said, "I need to use the crystal core quickly."

After all, Elder Rose is still waiting for him to return.

Thinking of this, Su Ran focused all his attention on the small leaf.

His roots and leaf veins became slightly soft due to the loss of healing power, but at this time, the crystal core unintentionally helped him. From the moment the fragment entered the tip of the leaf, he felt comfortable all over.

The leaves began to glow.

——This is a use similar to healing power. Su Ran felt the energy and the feeling of transmission. They flowed out from the leaves and enveloped Si Chengyan's arm.

Gradually, the last bit of black blood was cured.

Su Ran looked at the faint marks on the other person's arm and sighed softly.

Everything is fine now, and the mission of taking care of the colonel is over.

And now, he is going to save Elder Rose.

Su Ran had already thought about the plan for the future while he was on the flying bird. He would bring Elder Rose back to the Vine Family.

From now on, Elder Vine can play chess and drink tea with his elders, and he can also have fun with Niuniu, Guji, and Gugululu.

As for the Colonel...

Su Ran turned the flower bud and looked outside the cliff cave.

The previous walkie-talkie has sent the message and location, and Qiao Ran and Anna will be here soon.

"Sorry." Su Ran patted the colonel's fingertips again, rubbing the flower bud against him - just like when he first met the colonel, "I have to go take care of the elders."

As he spoke, he spread out the small pots one by one, put in the herbs that the colonel might need later, and apologized softly. He really didn't know how to face the colonel.

However, he was already a rose without healing powers, so he should stay in his own land like other roses.

Just then, Su Ran heard the roar of an airplane.

Along with the sound of footsteps and conversation, he heard Anna's voice.

"Baby!"

As Anna bent down to enter the cave, she saw Su Ran standing next to Si Chengyan, looking at her with his little leaves drooping.

She asked, "How are you?"

"I'm fine." Su Ran said, "The colonel is fine too."

"Huh...that's good."

Anna let out a long sigh. She squatted beside the colonel and checked his wounds. "It looks like he'll wake up soon."

"We just returned from supporting the research institute and have gained a preliminary understanding of the changes in some buildings," Anna said. "By the time you return to the temporary camp for treatment, we'll likely see some progress in these types of building distortions..."

Anna had no idea what Su Ran was thinking.

At this moment, the little rose quietly looked at Fei Niao. Under his gaze, Fei Niao immediately understood. It stretched out its eight wings, shook off some dust from above, and walked to Su Ran's side.

Su Ran didn't want to leave.

But, but he is a rose, a rose without healing power, and he must stay with his family.

Just as Su Ran stepped back step by step until he stood next to Fei Niao, Anna finally realized what was going on. The moment she turned to look at Su Ran, her eyes widened instantly.

"Baby, where are you going——"

Before he finished speaking, Su Ran whispered goodbye, and with the flapping of a bird's wings, he completely disappeared under the blood-red sky.
