Chapter 11
"It won't become a deep lake." Shi Changyuan looked at the little flower fairy with a serious face, as if she was sincerely worried about something. He felt helpless and a little funny. He explained to Lin Ling.
"The abyss can swallow the flood."
Lin Ling could understand the situation of swallowing some small objects or other deformed things. It was just falling off a huge cliff and dying without a complete body. However, he still couldn't quite understand what it would be like to swallow a flood.
"Does this mean that it is completely eaten?" Lin Ling imagined it and gestured, "Then once the flood enters, it disappears?"
Shi Changyuan didn't quite understand the description. After hesitating for a while, he nodded.
"Wow." Lin Ling's eyes sparkled as he praised his good friend highly, "That's amazing!"
"He's a big eater!"
Shi Changyuan: …
Feeling that the little flower demon was teasing him, Shi Changyuan flicked Lin Ling's forehead with his finger.
The little flower demon cried out, covered her head and ran away. Not long after, she came back and pointed at her forehead, which was not red or painful. She came to the front of Shen Yuan and said, "I want to blow it."
Shi Changyuan was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously reached out and rubbed Xiaohua's forehead, "Did it hurt you?"
"Hmm...it hurts a little." Lin Ling blinked, and in that second of hesitation, Shi Changyuan knew that his seed was lying with his eyes open.
"Okay, blow on it." Shi Changyuan looked at the little flower demon's evasive gaze and did not expose him. He actually went along with Lin Ling and blew on his forehead.
The yellow-haired young man on the side listened to the conversation between the two, his expression was a little distorted, and he seemed a little dazed all of a sudden.
Finally he was relieved.
It's just a couple's trick!
As a single man, Huangmao watched the two of them being so affectionate and felt the deep malice of this world. However, he also got a lot of useful information from the communication between Shenyuan and Xiaohua, and kept relaying it to Team Leader Mo.
“I don’t know when this heavy rain will stop.”
The little flower fairy sat on the balcony railing, looking at the gradually rising water outside, and was a little worried, "Will it be flooded?"
Shi Changyuan only took a look and gave an extremely affirmative answer, "Yes."
The building they settled in was the most central building in the human base. It had dozens of floors and was particularly conspicuous among the flat-roofed houses in the base. It was the official building representing the Seventh Base.
Lin Ling's eyes widened immediately. "Is it possible for such a tall building to do this?"
"Yes." Shi Changyuan carried Lin Ling from the balcony railing into the house and patiently answered every question, "So you have to leave."
Huangmao felt a chill in his heart as he listened to what the two people said.
The location of the Seventh Base is not a lowland. If even the base building here is flooded, then won’t humans have to build Noah’s Ark to survive this disaster?
Even Team Leader Mo on the other end of the communicator was silent. She looked at the sky, which seemed to be torn apart, and the alarm that sounded every ten minutes, and suddenly recalled what had happened in the past ten years.
It started with global species mutations, then earthquakes, followed by the emergence and expansion of a world-class disaster abyss, high temperatures, and now heavy rains.
Almost every step is compressing the living space of human beings.
The senior executives of the base who were having a video conference with her all had sad faces. The scene fell into dead silence for a moment. The next second, her communicator rang again.
"Team leader, Sister Mo! I overheard again! Shenyuan said that we can take Xiaohua to these places. They are all in the mountains around the base. I estimate that these places will not be flooded. Let's wait for Xiaohua to make her choice, and then we will take the remaining places as shelters."
The voice of the yellow-haired young man immediately broke the dead silence.
The places he mentioned are large enough, and as long as there is enough time, the losses can indeed be minimized. After all, no one will question the power of the abyss.
But... after all, they were doing this right under the nose of the Abyss. Some of the top executives of the base who only knew the name of the Abyss and had no idea what it was were suddenly horrified.
Listen, what are these young people thinking right now? Are they dissatisfied that humans are not disappearing fast enough?
Team Leader Mo listened to Huang Mao's report, thinking deeply. She looked at the senior executives of the base who had different expressions and smiled, "Everyone, I guess you haven't read the report we sent to you yet, right?"
So the top leaders of the base opened the email titled "Plan to Save the World with Love Brain" one by one, but before they finished reading it, their expressions gradually became dazed.
Suddenly, the word "cooperation" came to everyone's mind tacitly.
…
"These places are so far away." Lin Ling looked at the map that Shi Changyuan took out and was somewhat reluctant to move.
Plants don't like to move far away. After all, the roots of plants are in the soil, and they may not move once in their entire life.
"You said before that besides the highlands, we can also move to the abyss."
The little flower demon had a good memory and still remembered what Shi Changyuan had said in the rainstorm. He poked Shi Changyuan's arm and said, "Can I choose this one?"
Shi Changyuan felt Lin Ling's breath spraying on his ears, turned his head and looked at the little flower fairy, and said in a light tone, "Do you want to choose this one?"
He seemed to want to say something else, but the little flower demon seemed to have thought it through clearly. He nodded and started to talk about old things from long ago.
"Didn't you tell me before that I could place my roots in the abyss, so that I wouldn't be limited by the distance of the roots?"
Shi Changyuan didn't expect that the little flower demon still remembered what he had said before. His eyes suddenly became deep.
"Have you really thought it through?" Shi Changyuan almost wanted to take his seeds back immediately, but when the time came, he was worried that Xiaohua would be disappointed. He couldn't help but remind her, "The abyss... may be a little different from what you imagined."
"It's okay! I don't mind." The little flower demon thought to himself that he would be very tolerant towards his good friends. It didn't matter even if his good friend's home was a little messy, he could help clean it up!
"How about this? When the rain stops, I will go back to Shenyuan with you, and we will stay at home together to spend this rainy season." Lin Ling had planned it very well, and looked at Shi Changyuan with sparkling eyes.
The little flower demon was very agile. As soon as the rain outside stopped a little, he put on the little yellow duck raincoat that Shi Changyuan had found from the bottom of the pressure box and rushed out and returned to the abyss.
There was a lot of water on the ground from the human base to the border of the abyss. Lin Ling had already prepared himself for the small white flowers he had planted at the entrance of the abyss to be flooded, but he found that as soon as he stepped into the abyss, the soil was obviously much drier.
As if it was deliberately controlled, the heavy rain only moistened the flowers, and all the excess water was cleaned up. So after a heavy rain, the small white flowers planted by Lin Ling became more vibrant.
The outside world and the abyss suddenly seemed to have switched identities.
"You take good care of them!"
Lin Ling happily looked at the small white flowers on the ground, glanced to the left, touched to the right, and applied fertilizer again. Shi Changyuan stood by, neither urging him nor taking credit for it, just quietly looking at the happy Lin Ling.
In the field of white flowers with golden stamens, there stood a young boy wearing a yellow duck raincoat. His bright eyes were like a rainbow after a rainstorm.
When the raindrops started to fall again, Lin Ling hurried to the edge of the abyss and looked down cautiously.
The bottomless, cliff-like abyss looks like a man-eating monster when viewed from the top, making one's legs go weak.
Lin Ling looked at it, trembled, and shrank back.
Shi Changyuan looked at the tentative and timid little flower demon in front of him. He could obviously take Lin Ling directly back to the abyss, but he wanted to tease her instead.
"Lingling is not going?" Shi Changyuan asked in a deliberately slightly hesitant tone.
"No." Lin Ling shook his head, looked at the big hole where he stepped, and felt the wind blowing out from it. The biological instinct for survival really made it difficult for him to "seek his own death."
Before, he always dared to approach the edge of the abyss while sitting down. Now that he was standing on the edge, he was always worried that he might lose his balance and take a misstep, which would be a lifelong regret.
Shi Changyuan listened to Lin Ling blabbering about her thoughts, chuckled, and coaxed the little flower demon, "Take you to dance."
Lin Ling blinked and asked, "How do I bring it?"
Shi Changyuan stretched out his hand towards Xiaohua.
But Lin Ling did not put her hands up, but threw herself into Shi Changyuan's arms.
"Can I close my eyes?" Lin Ling found a comfortable and safe position in Shi Changyuan's arms and asked.
Shi Changyuan looked at Xiaohua, who had buried her entire face in his arms and asked to close her eyes, and he couldn't help laughing again.
He did not answer Lin Ling, but just leaped forward. Shi Changyuan did not know whether Lin Ling closed his eyes or not in the rapid feeling of weightlessness, but he felt Xiaohua suddenly entangled herself with her hands and feet.
He couldn't help laughing.
The little flower demon felt the vibration of Shi Changyuan's chest and reacted immediately. Suddenly, the whole huge pit was echoing with Lin Ling's roar.
“You are so bad!!!”
The speed of falling was extremely fast, but for some reason, Lin Ling felt that the speed seemed to slow down as he went further. He opened his eyes tentatively, and then he fell into a ball of soft cotton.
"arrive."
The smile in Shi Changyuan's voice never disappeared.
The little flower demon jumped out of Shi Changyuan's arms at once, hummed twice, and began to visit the bottom of the legendary abyss.
In order to prevent his good friend from getting anxious, the little flower demon said very kindly, "Don't worry, your house is the only mess, I am also -"
Lin Ling was stunned as he stared at the dark, empty space. All he could see was a table with a flowerpot and two or three gifts he had given.
“Ah…” The little flower demon stuttered.
"It's quite neat."
