Chapter 13
There was no need for the Abyss to lie to him.
The little flower demon turned around and looked at Shi Changyuan, but he finally understood why Shenyuan was so skilled in doing this when he asked him to help him with fertilizing and watering during the previous high temperature period.
Moreover, Shi Changyuan also told him that he was looking for seeds, and his expansion was to find the lost seeds, but when he met himself, he stopped expanding.
The more Lin Ling recalled, the more traces he discovered that he had overlooked.
He walked up to Shi Changyuan and asked in a gloomy tone, "Have you been looking for a long time?"
"no."
"It's a lie."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the little flower demon ruthlessly exposed him. He said unhappily, "It took me three years to take root outside the base."
The little flower demon once again judged others by her own experience and finally asked the question she had not asked before, "Were you sad when you found that the seeds were lost?"
"Have you ever thought about what to do if you really can't find it?"
Shi Changyuan looked at the little flower fairy standing in front of him, stretched out his hand, and took the treasure that was lost and found into his arms. Then he answered the little flower fairy one sentence at a time and admitted, "Yes, I have been looking for it for a long time."
“It’s really sad.”
“But I don’t think I’ll lose it.”
The man in front of him made a voice that best fits the identity of the Abyss. He said, "As long as I swallow the whole world, I will always find you."
If you become a human and look for it everywhere, if you are unlucky, you will pass it by even if it is right in front of you.
In order to avoid this, the abyss decided to wake up, to move, to expand, to devour the land inch by inch. No matter whether the seeds were buried deep in the earth, dropped in the cracks of the rocks, or hidden in someone's flower pot in a corner of the city, he would always be able to find them.
The Abyss never doubted this.
The little flower demon raised her head and immediately met Shi Changyuan's gaze. She once again realized how important seeds were to the abyss, even though she was that seed.
He sniffed and said, "But I don't remember anything."
It sounds too much that a seed that remembers nothing has been searched for in the abyss for so long, as if only one person remembers this feeling.
"At that time, I hadn't even sprouted yet." Lin Ling felt a little guilty for some reason. He couldn't help but say, "I don't know how I ended up outside the wall of the human base."
"All I know is that one day, it rained a few times, and the soil was moist, which was very suitable for seeds to germinate. Then I pushed hard to break through the soil, and I saw the sun."
It was at that time that Xiaohua had a clearer memory.
"At other times, I feel like I'm sleeping, and everything that happens outside is hazy in my ears and I can't hear it clearly."
The little flower demon felt that he should remember those things, so he poked the back of Shi Changyuan's hand and asked, "What happened when I was a seed?"
Then, under Lin Ling's gaze, Shen Yuan slowly recounted everything that had happened between them.
Watering, loosening the soil, changing the flower pots...
Hmm... It sounds like a boring routine that repeats day after day. The little flower demon was stunned for a moment, but said nothing and decided to listen.
Maybe it’s because the background at the beginning of the story is laid out for a longer time?
Lin Ling knew that some people tell stories just to pursue the feeling of telling them in a leisurely manner.
After persisting for half an hour, the little flower demon finally got tired of listening. He leaned on the table behind him and jumped back, then sat on it accurately. Then he shook his calves and couldn't help but whispered, "It sounds so boring, and nothing special happened."
"There's really nothing special." Shi Changyuan nodded and admitted.
"But the most special day was when I discovered there was a living seed in the abyss."
Although he had long guessed that seeds might not produce memories, after all, from the perspective of human biology, it was just an embryo, a plant embryo.
But because of the appearance of this seed, he had expectations and hope in his heart, which enabled him to survive the long years alone in the abyss of darkness.
He wondered every day when his seeds would sprout.
How much water should he water today and how much fertilizer should he apply tomorrow to ensure the nutrition and health of the seeds?
Until a huge earthquake occurred, even the abyss was affected.
The entire abyss split in half, and one part of it collapsed directly. A lot of water rushed in and swept away his seeds.
The Abyss couldn't find his seeds, so it woke up.
"So that's how it is. Now I know!"
When this part was mentioned, the little flower demon knew it. At that time, he had just made friends with humans. Every time humans discussed the abyss, a world-class disaster, with great concern, they attributed the formation of the abyss to that ground fissure.
"Humans have always believed that the abyss was created by that rift in the ground."
The Abyss, as a living being, was also a victim of the Earth's rift.
When Lin Ling mentioned humans, he always felt as if he could vaguely hear the voices of other humans.
"There is indeed someone there. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Okay." The little flower demon nodded, and before she jumped off the table, Shi Changyuan picked her up.
Lin Ling subconsciously wrapped his legs around the other's waist to stabilize his body. He was overwhelmed by this righteous hug and instantly felt the difference in Shen Yuan's attitude towards his seed behavior.
Before, they were just neighbors and friends. Before they met, Shenyuan was friendly and polite, even very gentlemanly, and Lin Ling could notice every little emotion of his.
And now his possessiveness was about to overflow. He carried Lin Ling here and there without the help of anyone else, acting particularly blatantly and righteously, as if he wanted everyone to know at a glance that it was his seed.
However, this change was too rapid!
Lin Ling was held by Shi Changyuan, and in a few blinks, he left the dark abyss and came out. It was still drizzling outside, and Shi Changyuan immediately held up a black umbrella to completely cover Lin Ling.
The ones who came to look for the abyss were Team Leader Mo and the yellow-haired young man from before. They drove a huge military off-road vehicle, rushing through the water that was deep enough to cover a person's knees, and kept circling the edge of the abyss, making a huge rumbling noise.
The yellow-haired young man was very sharp-eyed and saw the appearance of the abyss and Xiaohua. He did a beautiful drift and stopped at the junction of the two abysses, just barely hitting the line.
"Wow, you two are both dressed so formally."
Lin Ling hung on Shi Changyuan's body and turned his head to look at the two people. Both of them were wearing the official uniforms of the Human Base, with the logo of the Human Alliance printed on the chest of the dark camouflage.
The last time Xiaohua saw Sister Mo dressed like this was at the conference announcing the establishment of the Seventh Base.
The yellow-haired young man coughed twice, shook his head a little embarrassedly, and said in a very familiar manner, "Actually, we are here on behalf of the Alliance. We can lose face for the Seventh Foundation, but we can't lose face for the Human Alliance."
Mo Cheng glanced at the yellow-haired young man, then extended his hands to Xiaohua and Shenyuan, and said in a very official tone, "The Alliance wants to make a deal with you."
Shi Changyuan looked at the other party. Although he did not extend his hand to return the gesture, his eyes were calm, as if he was not surprised at all.
"Hey, deal? What deal?"
The abyss was not supportive, but Xiaohua was. Her beautiful eyes showed the proper curiosity and exploration.
Mo Cheng softened his voice immediately, looked at Xiaohua and said, "It's about this rainstorm."
"First of all, thank you for providing information about the rainstorm. Now most people have been evacuated and there are almost no casualties."
Although most of the personnel have been relocated, some infrastructure cannot be relocated. Many things in the base will be soaked by the flood, and several years of hard work will be wasted.
Human beings have been seeking survival and development in the apocalypse, but they have stagnated for a long time and cannot go back.
"The abyss can swallow everything, including floods." Mo Cheng looked at the vibrant white sea of flowers in the abyss and was a little dazed for a moment.
When did this land of the dead become like this?
The accumulated water outside was about to submerge the tires of the off-road vehicle, but Shi Changyuan was standing ten steps away holding Xiaohua, and it was just wet grass.
The flood rushed in from the edge of the abyss, and the only end was to be swallowed up. So even though there was no height difference here, the flood still formed a small waterfall around the abyss.
Someone has taken good care of this place.
Mo Cheng retracted his gaze and continued, "We haven't found a suitable flood discharge area yet. In other words, in this unconventional rainstorm, which is an apocalyptic-level rainstorm disaster, we can't find a solution at all."
"We hope the abyss can help us."
"We are also willing to meet any reasonable conditions you propose," said Mo Cheng, "including medical care, energy, consumables, and a convenient status in the human base."
"These can all be a guarantee for becoming a little flower."
After Mo Cheng finished speaking, she smiled at the two of them and waited patiently for their responses. She knew that as long as she showed enough sincerity, Shen Yuan would definitely agree.
Sure enough, Shenyuan nodded.
Lin Ling watched the human leave and poked Shi Changyuan in the chest.
He didn't quite understand those official sentences, nor did he know what conditions moved Shi Changyuan. He was just a little worried, "Will swallowing so much flood water have any impact on you?"
"No, it has its benefits."
He explained, "The water enters the abyss, where it can filter out the impurities inside by swallowing them, and then store them. When the next high temperature period comes, there will be no shortage of water."
When Lin Ling heard Shi Changyuan's plan, his eyes lit up.
"If Lingling doesn't need so much, she can sell it to humans at a high price."
Shi Changyuan held the little flower fairy in his arms and deliberately asked, "Little Flower, do you want to rule the world?"
Lin Ling: Σ( ° △°|||)︴
I don't really want to.
