Chapter 16

"What kind of love is this?"

Shen Yuan really didn't know, so he looked into Xiao Hua's eyes puzzledly, trying to get an answer, but Xiao Hua had laughed enough and looked away guiltily.

"Oh, I don't know."

Lin Ling's face flushed red, and she fell headfirst into Shi Changyuan's arms, rolling around and making trouble, as if she wouldn't tell him anything no matter how many times he asked.

If the abyss knew these things, the little flower would turn from a little white flower into a little yellow flower in the eyes of the abyss.

Shi Changyuan looked at Lin Ling lying on his legs, stretched out his hand to block the glaring sunlight for Xiaohua, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something else, but the domineering Xiaohua grabbed Shi Changyuan's collar and covered his mouth with her hand.

"That's all useless knowledge. Don't ask any more questions!"

The overbearing little flower said viciously.

Ever since Lin Ling learned that he was the seed of Shen Yuan, not only did Shen Yuan become unbridled, hugging and clinging to Xiao Hua whenever he wanted, but Xiao Hua also became more arrogant and learned to act unreasonably.

Xiaohua pondered it in her mind, and then analyzed it for a long time according to human social relations. Finally, she picked and chose among human relations and found one that was applicable to herself and Shenyuan.

Lin Ling moved Shen Yuan from a "neighbor" to a "good friend", and now to a "brother".

Living in the same pit, we are a family, right?

Faced with Xiaohua's bold behavior, Shi Changyuan just lowered his eyes and watched quietly, then waited for Xiaohua to retract her hand.

As expected, Xiaohua couldn't resist under Shi Changyuan's gaze. He hesitated, retracted his hand, hid it behind his back and curled up unconsciously.

"Anyway, I won't hurt you!" Xiaohua said seriously, "Once the evil knowledge of mankind enters the brain, both Xiaohua and the abyss will become strange!"

"So don't ask again, and don't bring it up again!"

Although Shi Changyuan didn't understand, seeing Lin Ling's serious attitude, he nodded solemnly.

Seeing that Shenyuan agreed, Xiaohua lay down again with peace of mind and basked in the sun with him.

But the sun had only been out for less than two hours before dark clouds began to gather again, and it looked like another rainstorm was about to come.

"Okay, let's go home!" Lin Ling stood up and watched Shi Changyuan pick up Xiaohua's body next to him again, and then looked at the data and mechanical equipment dropped by humans.

"Do we need to take these back too?" Lin Ling looked at the instrument that was said to simulate the sun in the abyss so that the flowers could photosynthesize, and he still felt a little itchy.

Most plants love to bask in the sun; it warms them up, replenishes their energy, and makes them stronger.

"If Lingling likes it, take it back." Shi Changyuan answered without even thinking.

"Great!" Xiaohua moved the instrument back in one go, and then almost immediately turned it on to experience it.

The instrument can not only simulate sunlight to allow the flowers to carry out photosynthesis, but also adjust to different seasons. Whether it is the warm spring sun or the scorching summer sun, it can all be simulated.

I have to say that human creativity is really strong.

Xiao Hua was enjoying the sunbath created by humans, and suddenly thought of an old saying: "If you eat someone's food, you will be soft-hearted; if you take someone's money, you will be grateful." He thought about it and decided to give humans some gifts in return.

"Do you think there is a way for humans to get through this rainstorm faster?"

"Hmm?" Shenyuan listened to Xiaohua's words and understood what he meant immediately. He said carefully, "The rainy season cannot be shortened, but it is almost halfway through."

"After the rainy season ends, it will take longer for humans to rebuild after the disaster."

Lin Ling didn't quite understand this, and couldn't think of a better solution. After all, he was just a pitiful, weak, and helpless flower in the face of disaster. He sighed, "Okay..."

But before Xiaohua could finish her words, he heard Shenyuan continue, "But Lingling wants to help them and there is a way, but Xiaobaihua will be drowned."

Shen Yuan only mentioned this, but Lin Ling seemed to be really thinking about the feasibility. He was a little hesitant and a little entangled, and finally said hesitantly, "Then, can we help?"

After saying this, Lin Ling immediately grabbed Shi Changyuan's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Let's help them, and then let them get ready early so that they can set up the stall quickly."

"Then we can buy batteries and light up the star lights!"

Shi Changyuan looked at Xiaohua holding his hand, and finally, "Okay."

…

Then humans suddenly discovered that the flood was receding much faster, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye every hour.

As long as the rate of rainfall cannot keep up with the rate of drainage, this rainstorm will only be a rainstorm and will not develop into a flood or disaster.

The helicopter searched around, hoping to find the savior who suddenly appeared in this disaster. They followed the direction of the flood, and they were shocked to find that they ended up in the abyss.

At this time, the abyss had been submerged by the flood, and the black land planted with small white flowers had been completely submerged by the flood. When the plane passed by, they did not notice that they had flown into the abyss until they saw a huge sinkhole that kept swallowing up the flood.

The water surged and fell into the huge pit in the abyss, without any echo.

It's like a drain that will never be clogged. It only takes a little time for it to drain cleanly.

"What's going on?"

The senior management of the base looked at the video footage sent back by the helicopter and were all in disbelief. "Team Leader Mo, what did you do again?!!!"

Mo Cheng didn't expect Shen Yuan to help so much. She had never thought that Shen Yuan would give up his own interests.

After all, the most basic reason for them to cooperate with Shen Yuan is that there is no conflict of interest between the two parties. Mo Cheng guessed that this was probably because the contradiction was resolved and his relationship with Xiao Hua developed further.

Mo Cheng didn't know what happened, but he just wanted to thank Xiaohua.

"Ah, I finally have a feeling that a disaster is coming during the rainy season--" Xiaohua tilted her head back and looked at the flood that was rushing down three thousand feet from the mouth of the abyss and sinking to the bottom of the abyss.

During the previous high temperature period, Lin Ling had felt the impact of the high temperature on plants, but since the rainy period had found him from the abyss, he was completely out of it.

"So this is what humans say a leaky roof feels like?"

Xiaohua sat on the bed, looking at the water column that was larger than the largest waterfall in the world. It surrounded the edge of the abyss tiankeng and formed a huge water curtain, forming a ring and dividing the abyss into two parts.

At first, some strange debris would fall from the outside of the water curtain from time to time, but when Shi Changyuan realized that Xiaohua was almost hit, he used the black shadow to actively wrap around and swallow up the debris on top.

So when the water falls down, it has become clear and clean, and it feels quite spectacular and pleasing to the eyes.

But the premise is that this is not Xiaohua’s home.

Except for Monkey King, who else wants to live in the water curtain cave!!! Moreover, the grass outside is all flooded, and it is full of water. Xiaohua has no place to stay when she goes out to bask in the sun.

"It's a bit boring." Xiaohua blinked, crossed her legs on the bed, and then put her hands together and bowed sincerely, "So the rainy season should be over as soon as possible! Please."

Lin Ling seemed to think that just paying homage was not grand enough, so he went to the abyss space to dig out some small materials and made hundreds of sunny dolls by hand.

"Well, maybe it's a little too boring." Xiaohua painted a cute smile on each sunny doll and made a broom for each of them to use to sweep the sun.

Xiaohua feels that she is really full of sincerity!

I don’t know if Xiaohua’s prayers worked, but the dark clouds in the sky soon dispersed. Then there were a few heavy rains of about ten minutes each, but the intervals between them did get longer and longer, until it finally didn’t rain for two days.

Then humans returned to the base from the mountains where they had taken refuge, tidied up the base, and prepared to resume normal life.

"When can you accompany me into town to find batteries?"

Lin Ling also restored the abyss to its original layout and replanted the green grass outside.

The white sea of ​​flowers must have been destroyed in the flood. In order to prevent Xiaohua from being saddened by seeing the traces, Shi Changyuan decided to go all out and swallowed up everything on it.

So when Lin Ling poked his head out of the abyss, what he saw was the very familiar, bare black soil, which he just needed to plant again.

"Lingling, you can go anytime." Shi Changyuan looked at Lin Ling poking at the land and planting small flowers, then he reached out and picked her up.

"But you're not going." Even after being picked up, he still looked unhappy.

Xiaohua discovered that Shenyuan didn't want to go to the human base. He would only wait for her outside the base. But Xiaohua just wanted Shenyuan to accompany her.

"There's nothing good for me to see as a flower. All human bases look the same." Lin Ling said, then looked at Shi Changyuan and said with a hum.

"Only Sister Mo and the others were in the Seventh Base the first two times, so it was okay for you to let me go alone. Now we are going to other human bases, and there will be many people there. Do you really trust me alone?"

Xiao Hua deliberately said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be kidnapped by bad people?"

Lin Ling looked at the Abyss in front of him, stood up and was about to imitate the Abyss who was unaware of the dangers of the human world. But before he could open his mouth, the Abyss, who knew what he was imagining in his mind, suddenly interrupted him.

"I'll go with you."

When Lin Ling heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Great! Let's go together!" Xiaohua jumped suddenly and wrapped her arms around Shi Changyuan's neck. Shi Changyuan was afraid that Xiaohua would fall, so he quickly reached out to support Xiaohua's thighs and put one hand on her waist.

This time, when Shi Changyuan and Lin Ling appeared in front of the gate of the Sixth Base, the top management of the base froze for a moment. They didn't know what to do for a moment, and didn't know whether to give them a grand welcome or to find an excuse to divert the trouble and let other bases have the headache.

After all, that was the abyss. If he didn't have a good time in the base, his entire Sixth Base with a population of more than 100,000 might not be enough to defeat the enemy in one go.

"Team Leader Mo, what do you think we should do?" The senior executives of the base thought about it, and finally decided to ask for help from Mo Cheng, who knew the abyss and the little flower demon best.

"Don't worry about them. Just treat them as ordinary people. You can even pretend to be unaware of it." Mo Cheng replied in the communicator, "They know their limits."

"Besides, isn't this an opportunity? It depends on whether your base can seize it."

As soon as Mo Cheng said this, the top management of the base thought of the various plans they had made before for the abyss.

The senior executive gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "...Okay! I'll give it a try!"

Xiaohua had no idea of ​​the confusion and fear of the base manager. He just thought that since humans were cooperating with them, they would definitely not raise the alarm and drive them away!

So Lin Ling took Shi Changyuan and tried to stand at the gate of the base, but there was indeed no response from the Sixth Base.

"Hey! The two at the back, move forward and don't block the road. Are you still going into the city?" The humans who were maintaining order at the city gate shouted loudly.

"Okay! We're going into the city. Sorry for the inconvenience." Xiaohua very skillfully pulled Shi Changyuan through various registrations and successfully sneaked into the Sixth Base.

The human base looked particularly prosperous after the rainstorm ended. Perhaps it was because there was no shortage of water resources at the moment, which made those who had survived the high temperature period breathe a sigh of relief.

"Little cakes! Fresh little cakes from the oven—"

Xiaohua had never been to the Sixth Base and was looking around curiously when he heard a shout from the roadside. Lin Ling went over and saw rows of cute pink strawberry cakes.

"Can you still make cakes now?" someone nearby asked.

"New product! It's made with distorted wild pheasant eggs and wild wheat flour. Would you like to try it?"

As soon as that person said this, the people around him immediately dispersed.

It's a joke. After wild pheasants and wild wheat are deformed, their eggs become as big as two footballs. No wonder they can be used to make so many cakes. However, humans are still reluctant to eat these deformed creatures for fear that they will become monsters themselves.

Humans don't dare to eat it, but the same can't be said for Xiaohua and Shenyuan.

Xiaohua originally only liked flower fertilizer, because most of the food for humans in the end times was hard bread or bland millet porridge. This was the first time he saw a small cake, and the beautiful shape alone made Lin Ling unable to walk.

The man smiled when he saw Xiaohua. "Would you like to try it for free? The taste is guaranteed! It's just a mutant. Experts haven't said that mutants can't be eaten!"

Under the sweet talk of the humans, Xiaohua actually tried a small bite and her eyes immediately lit up. Then, the cake owner saw that there was potential for sales, so he promoted the cake even more vigorously.

But unfortunately, Xiaohua has no alliance coins, and the abyss is only "waste paper" before the end of the world.

Lin Ling reluctantly rejected the cake shop owner's offer and continued walking forward, but after only a few steps, it was Shen Yuan's turn to attract his attention.

It was a tailor shop with many beautiful designs posted in front of the shop, ranging from clothes to pants to shoes and various skirts. It looked like a place for custom-made clothes.

"Huh? Are you going to buy clothes?" Xiaohua took a quick look and didn't think there was anything wrong with the designs.

But he felt that this store looked like the legendary black shop. Not only was the lighting very dim and it looked very dark, but the design drawings and the actual items in the store also seemed to have cut corners to some extent.

Xiaohua looked left and right, then looked away, not interested. She just quietly pulled Shi Changyuan and whispered to him, who had never seen the wickedness of human hearts, not to be deceived.

"What may I do for you, sir?" The owner of the tailor shop came out to greet him.

But Shi Changyuan did not answer the other party. He just scanned the shop and then turned and left.

"Don't go, don't go. You want to customize clothes, right? If you are not satisfied with the ones outside, I have other designs here! The ones outside are all harmonized, and the designs have long lost their souls--"

The boss stopped Shenyuan and Xiaohua, looked at their faces and figures, and said excitedly, "I have a few more designs here, guaranteed to be suitable for you two!"

As he was searching, he muttered, "I can't even post my most satisfactory design. It's the end of the world, but they're still sticking to the old-fashioned way."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of design drafts that had been hidden at the bottom of the box, and they suddenly appeared in front of the Abyss.

These drafts are no longer the flat drawings displayed outside, but are colored and displayed in three dimensions as if they were worn on models.

But what is very strange is that the model seems to have been erased. There are no lines, no face, and even no outline. The only thing left on the whole draft is the clothes that have been carved into various poses and even the folds are very detailed. But it is just like this that makes people imagine for no reason and tempt people to put themselves in the shoes of someone else's face.

Especially when the clothes in the design drafts use many animal elements, furry ears, tails, and various chains...the details of the clothes are displayed through some strange placement forms.

Those drawings immediately shook the abyss to the spot, and even Xiaohua didn't notice that she had sneaked out.

"This is all my hard work!" The boss continued to promote the product. "Just imagine the person who is trying it on. You can tell at a glance whether the style is suitable for them!"

As soon as the boss's voice appeared, Shi Changyuan subconsciously filled in the missing character part of the design with Lin Ling's image...

With a "bang", some new doors opened.

Shenyuan's ears were boiling, and he left the store almost in a panic.

A few seconds after leaving the abyss, the tailor boss received a call, and the person on the other end of the phone immediately yelled, "How did you pass the plan review?"

"Is this how you complete your mission?"

The boss was also angry, but he was very justified, "What's wrong with shivering? Shivering is also a treasure of mankind, a great collection of wisdom, and the essence of creation! No species is better at shivering than humans. Isn't this what makes humans irreplaceable?"

While Shenyuan was still in a trance, trying to get rid of all those images from his mind, Xiaohua had already returned from a visit somewhere else.

He didn't know what he did, but he got the cake from before and was eating the strawberry cake happily.

Shi Changyuan walked towards Xiaohua, wanting to take her away, but whenever he saw Xiaohua's face, he couldn't help but recall the design draft and the clothes.

I couldn't help thinking that his little flower would look really pretty on that dress...

Abyss paused and looked away in panic for an instant.

He suddenly felt that Xiaohua was right.

When human evil knowledge enters the brain, it's over.
