Chapter 270

In the bamboo forest by the river bank.

"Brother Su Lu, where are you?"

A little boy of three or four years old was looking around in the woods, looking here and there. He would even pick up a small stone at his feet to take a look at it.

"Have you seen Brother Su Lu?"

He raised his little head and asked a bamboo next to him. The bamboo was emerald green all over and shone like jade. It was obviously a spiritual bamboo.

Lingzhu shook its branches to indicate that it didn't know.

The little boy sighed, lowered his head and said thank you weakly, then started looking in the woods again.

"Brother Su Lu—Brother Su Lu—"

He made trumpet shapes with his two little hands and kept shouting in the bamboo forest, but he never heard any response. Finally, thirsty and tired, he came to the pool in the bamboo forest and sat down.

"I know you're here, why are you hiding from me?"

Now on Earth, apart from the cubs that came later, the only children originally raised by Su Ci personally are Mu Bao and Xixi. The other children followed Langze and Zhengxing to the interstellar battlefield.

Although the other children did not feel the protection of the Star Alliance as deeply as Langze, they were able to come to Base 24, be adopted by the Nursery, and later meet Susu, all due to the policies of the Star Alliance.

The interstellar battlefield needs manpower now, and they have the ability, so how can they stand idly by?

What's more, Langze and Zhengxing are their partners. How can they feel at ease when they are going to such a faraway place and fighting against unknown cosmic life?

Even Lu Jiao, Xue Wei and Xiao Lihua, who don't like fighting, volunteered. They just don't like it, but it doesn't mean they are weak.

In fact, with their special abilities, they may not necessarily suffer losses in a real battle.

It was only after the children left that A Yan decided to take Su Ci on a trip to relax. So, although Su Lu stayed on Earth, he didn't need to go to the nursery to pretend to be Su Ci.

After ten years of operation, the interstellar humans and demons who came to the nursery have formed their own set of operating rules. From a long time ago, there was no need for Su Ci to intervene in the restoration work of the Earth.

Earth is the origin of interstellar humanity. In addition to the concept of protecting the mother planet spread by Li Sinian and others, it is also because this planet has provided practical benefits to mankind.

Abundant spiritual energy is the key to awakening human superpowers.

Of course, there are still relatively few people who can be stationed on Earth at present, and only the recruitment indicators of new soldiers from various countries in the original 36 bases are retained.

However, the tasks of these new recruits have changed from guarding the base to clearing monsters and assisting in planting and land transformation. As for the interstellar criminals originally detained here, those who behave well can stay, but they still have to undergo labor reform.

As for those who performed poorly, they were transferred to a new prison planet - because of the planetary teleportation array, such transfers became extremely fast, reducing the trouble of the journey and the risk of criminals escaping, and were much easier to implement.

Everything on Earth was thriving, so Su Lu had nothing to do for the time being.

Zhou Zhou sat by the pond, looking at his own reflection in the clear water. Slowly, he couldn't help but pout.

Although he is a fragment of A Yan's soul, his power is very weak. Unlike Su Lu, he had the task of suppressing the seal, so he took away most of Su Ci's power and also possessed Su Ci's memories.

Zhou Zhou is a pure blank sheet of paper, almost like a newborn baby. He doesn't even know the relationship between himself and A Yan. He only knows that he has to listen to what A Yan says.

Of course, the reason he clung to Su Lu like this was because he liked him the moment he saw him, and a natural closeness arose between them, but...

Brother Su Lu doesn't like him.

When he thought of this, the little boy's mouth became more and more depressed, and slowly, tears began to accumulate in his round platinum eyes.

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. Tears as big as beans rolled down from the corners of his eyes. At first, there were only one or two, but soon they kept falling like pearls from a broken string.

“Wuwuwu…”

“Woo…”

As the little boy cried, the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and soon rain began to fall.

It was just a gentle drizzle at first, but as the little boy became more and more sad, the sudden downpour began to get heavier.

“Wuwuwu…”

“Woo…”

The leaves in the bamboo forest rustled and bent under the rain. People far away in Ersi City looked up at the sky and were all surprised by the sudden rain.

After all, Earth's meteorological bureau has always been very accurate, and yesterday's weather forecast said that today would be a sunny and nice day.

However, no one took it to heart.

After all, it's just a rain, and it may stop soon, and it will only rain for a day at most. After all, in the past ten years, the climate on Earth can be described as favorable, and the extreme weather in the past has not appeared for many years.

However, no one expected that the rain would last so long.

Although there was a break in the middle, it didn't last long. It was less than an hour before it continued raining again.

“Clatter-clatter-clatter-clatter—”

The water level of the river has risen, and what is even more terrifying is that the rain is still spreading to the surrounding land with Ersi City as the center.

No one could understand how this continuous rainstorm came about. It came without any warning, just like a child's face, changing at any time.

The Mu people were worried.

Those of them who had transformed into human form could still find a place to shelter from the rain, but countless transplanted members of the Wood Clan were in a state of confusion, and some of them had regained their spiritual intelligence, but it was not enough to support their transformation.

They could only watch helplessly as the rain came up, submerging them and drowning them...

In addition to these wood tribes, the primary ecosystem that they have worked so hard to build over the years will definitely be severely damaged!

The members of the Wood Tribe were extremely anxious and turned to the tribe leader and the great demons for help.

The big monsters naturally couldn't stop this strange rain, and Mu Yuncheng... he didn't find the two gods either!

Could it be that they did something wrong and the spirit of heaven brought down divine punishment?

The Mu people could only endure the heavy rain, pray and do a good job of disaster prevention and mitigation to minimize the losses as much as possible.

Finally, after the rain lasted for half a month——

A sigh sounded from the bamboo forest, and Su Lu's figure appeared behind the little boy.

The little boy was still squatting by the pond, crying sadly.

This bamboo forest has remained unchanged over the years because of the magic cast by Su Ci and A Yan. So even though many places outside were flooded, it only had continuous drizzle here and was not affected much.

Su Lu didn't expect that the soul of the Spirit of Heaven could cry so much.

He also couldn't understand what could have happened that was worth him crying for so long. He spent a whole half month listening to the child's crying.

It's definitely not okay to let him go on like this.

The reason why Su Luzhi wanted to maintain his autonomy was because he felt the trouble caused by his excessive emotional abundance.

If he had not been trapped in the past and developed a world-weary mood, falling into a deep sleep for many years, how could the Earth have been ruined by the life born on it into its current state?

Therefore, maintaining order on Earth, allowing it to revive and last for a long time, is the purpose of Su Lu's existence.

Zhou Zhou's crying was obviously disrupting this order. How could Su Lu just sit back and watch?

He walked gently to the side of the child, his usually calm eyes were filled with helplessness, and his gentle smile could no longer be maintained.

Although he had raised the little chickadee for a period of time, the little chickadee was heartless and chirped all day long. It had never required much attention from him, so... Su Lu had no experience in coaxing children.

He could only say stiffly: "Don't cry."

Amid the rustling sound of the rain, the man's voice was so soft that it was almost drowned out.

However, when Su Lu's voice came out, the little boy who was still crying sadly raised his head in confusion.

He clasped his two little hands in front of him, sobbing as he looked at Su Lu who had appeared out of nowhere. His watery eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he looked so pitiful.

He just looked at Su Lu foolishly, tears still flowing down his face, and it seemed that he had no intention of stopping.

Zhou Zhou didn't know what impact he had caused. He was still in a completely ignorant state. He only knew that Brother Su Lu didn't like him and refused to even see him. The more he thought about it, the sadder and more upset he became.

When he saw Su Lu appear, he hadn't reacted yet. He just kept crying mechanically, looking like he was completely confused from crying.

Su Lu felt the continuous torrential rain caused by the sadness of the Spirit of Heaven, sighed again, and then squatted down in front of the child.

"Don't cry, I'm coming out to see you."

His tone was still far from gentle, but his slender fingers touched the child's tender cheek, gently wiping away the child's tears that kept falling.

However, the child's crying did not stop.

He finally realized that the person in front of him was his beloved brother Su Lu. His mouth pursed in grievance, and then he threw himself into his arms without hesitation and started crying loudly.

Su Lu held the child's tender and soft body, feeling a little helpless.

Why are you still crying?

Fortunately, the child nestled in his arms and fell asleep while crying, and the dark clouds in the sky that were getting thicker and thicker finally dissipated, and the rain was finally over and the sky cleared up!

Muah~
