Chapter 04

At dawn the next day, the little flower demon was already skipping through the dense forest to find his new friend.

Although Lin Ling and Shi Changyuan became good friends, he still had some fear of this huge abyss, just like a little white rabbit making friends with a big bad wolf, but would not take the initiative to put his head into the wolf's mouth.

The little flower demon hesitated for a moment, stopped ten steps away from the abyss, and then poked its head out to call out Shi Changyuan's name.

"Shi Changyuan~"

"Are you up yet?"

Lin Ling whispered tentatively, lowering his voice to a whisper, for fear of disturbing his new friend's sleep.

Some creatures only need less than two hours of sleep, but some creatures are sleepy all day long, and the total time of dozing and sleepiness can reach fifteen or sixteen hours.

He has been assimilated into humans, working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise. He wonders if his new friends will have time difference with him.

Lin Ling was worried and had wild thoughts.

In fact, the moment the little flower demon approached the abyss, before it opened, the huge dark hole immediately produced active fluctuations, but these fluctuations would only be detected by human instruments. Lin Ling was just a little flower demon and knew nothing about it.

He sat on a huge rock not far from the abyss and waited for half a minute before he saw Shi Changyuan emerge from the abyss.

"Are you up?"

Lin Ling jumped down from the big rock in an instant.

The stone was quite tall, and Shi Changyuan teleported over in the blink of an eye, as if he wanted to catch the little flower fairy that was jumping down, but in the end he was very reserved and just supported Lin Ling.

"Thank you!"

Although it is not necessary, the little flower fairy is a flower that only has courtesy, not to mention that this is out of concern between friends.

Thinking of this, Lin Ling stared at the arm that Shi Changyuan was holding for a long time, with a somewhat surprised expression.

"This is my first time to be close to a human body."

The little flower demon's eyes sparkled, and she touched Shi Changyuan's hand with her backhand, then quickly retreated when Shi Changyuan subconsciously tried to grab the rebellious claw.

"Human skin is very different from the appearance of plants."

“My previous human friends were all rather timid, and I was afraid of scaring them, so I only played with them in my original form,” Lin Ling explained.

"After all, no human being would be afraid of a small flower that can be crushed by sitting on it."

Shi Changyuan lowered his eyes, listening silently to the little flower demon's mumbling, and letting her poke and rub him here and there.

But when he heard the last sentence, he seemed to have some reaction. With obvious anger, he asked back word by word, "Sit flat?"

【Someone bullied his seed.】

Deep Abyss thought angrily.

Ever since his seed was lost, he has not had a good sleep, and has been searching for it day and night. However, this world is not big, but it will take some time to search it completely.

【Someone took advantage of his absence and bullied his seeds. 】

Almost instantly, the human base three hundred miles away sounded the alarm, indicating the violent fluctuations in the abyss. All monitors in the laboratory ran around, nervously recording data, and a drone team was sent to the scene to check.

They held an emergency meeting for this purpose, and the result of the discussion was that they believed that the abyss would swallow up the Seventh Base before tonight, and the previous decision to relocate the city was absolutely correct.

While humans three hundred miles away were panicking over the ripples in the abyss, the little flower fairy next to Shi Changyuan could only applaud heartlessly like a seal.

"Wow! You learned a new word!"

Perhaps Shi Changyuan spoke too slowly, the little flower demon fully noticed the emotions in those words.

What's wrong with speaking slowly? But at least the pronunciation is standard this time, isn't it? Isn't this worth encouraging?

Lin Ling thought so, and in addition to applauding the seal, he also decided to give flowers to this mutant who was almost as smart as himself.

"But don't worry, although you are not as popular as me, your original form does not look squashable, and I don't think humans want to lose their butts."

The little flower fairy comforted him while recalling the killing power of the abyss, her eyes full of longing. This is probably what it feels like to be at the top of the food chain, it's quite majestic!

Looking at the little white flowers falling above his head, Shi Changyuan was stunned for a moment, and his originally turbulent emotions calmed down again.

The alarm at the human base was lifted without any warning, and even the Seventh Base was still there. The inspectors looked at each other in confusion.

"Oh, and I brought you something."

As the little flower demon spoke, she let go of Shi Changyuan's hand. He was wearing the most popular overalls in the apocalypse today, with many large pockets, which were both convenient and could hold a lot of things.

So Shi Changyuan watched Lin Ling rummaging around on the left, then on the right, and pieced together a few palm-sized booklets and a few printed sheets of information.

"This is the study material I found in the human base after I returned yesterday. I thought you might need it."

As Lin Ling spoke, he stuffed the colorful booklets into Shi Changyuan's hands.

The little flower demon took great pains to better help his new friends learn human language.

"Why don't you say thank you, Huahua!" Lin Ling looked at Shi Changyuan expectantly, deliberately slowing down his speech, trying to teach, "Thank you, and, Huahua."

"You can learn this simple reduplicated word, right?"

Shi Changyuan: …

He looked at the cover of the handbook, where words like "early childhood education" and "children's literacy" were clearly written. The words "Thank you Huahua" rolled back and forth on his tongue two or three times, but he couldn't say them out.

"Why don't you say anything?" Lin Ling poked Shi Changyuan's arm in confusion and whispered, "It took me a lot of effort to find it."

"......Yeah." Shi Changyuan looked at the aggrieved little flower demon in front of him, feeling helpless.

All right.

"Thank you, Huahua."

The moment Shi Changyuan opened his mouth, Lin Ling immediately became happy, with his eyebrows curved, like a child who had been waiting for some candy, his face full of satisfaction.

"Yeah, yeah, watch carefully and learn well."

After the little flower demon finished speaking, she unfolded the folded printed papers and placed them in front of Shi Changyuan.

"Besides that, I also found your information in the base."

He read the messages from humans and found that they were worried that someone might come here specifically to understand the abyss but come back empty-handed, so they left the backup data.

The Seventh Base proudly said in the message that after all, they were the base closest to the abyss, and no one in the world knew the abyss better or had done more research on it than them.

"I've read all the information, but I think this base is bragging."

"They just recorded some useless data."

For example, when did the abyss begin to awaken, how fast is it expanding every day, how big is the current area of ​​the abyss, what is its overall shape, and the laws of the abyss' activity, the frequency and frequency of fluctuations...

The little flower demon immediately started to whimper and complain.

"They don't even know your name, what you look like, what you like, who your best friend is... They have the nerve to claim to be the people in the world who know the abyss best."

Shi Changyuan looked at the data on the paper, stretched out his hand, and a ball of pure black flame emerged and swallowed the paper cleanly.

"Yeah, it's fake."

“That’s right!”

Lin Ling looked at the abyss beside him and raised his head proudly, "I know more than they do. I know your name, what you look like, and I also know what you like...like..."

Lin Ling stuttered for a moment. He seemed to not know what Shen Yuan liked, but it didn’t matter. He could skip this question first. He would definitely know it in the future anyway!

"And I'm your best friend!"

The little flower demon felt guilty for a moment, and then she became righteous again.

He looked at Shi Changyuan without any rebuttal, and even nodded in approval under Lin Ling's gaze. This kind of confidence reached its peak.

So he concluded, "I am obviously the one who knows the abyss best in this world."

Shi Changyuan nodded, showing blind approval of Lin Ling.

His seed should be the one who knows him best. Even if it doesn't, it's definitely not the seed's fault. His seed just doesn't know or remember it yet.

That's all.
