Chapter 15
Su Ran was still sleeping at this time.
He snored steadily, and mist swirled between his leaves, gathering and dissipating.
The colonel's quilt was dry and warm, which made Su Ran feel at ease, as if he had returned to the earth.
It’s just that the dream wasn’t so beautiful.
In his dream, he saw himself wrapped in a small quilt, waiting obediently for the colonel to come home. But after hearing a knock on the door, a lot of fog rushed over and wrapped around him.
Just like how it feels now.
Su Ran: “?”
He slowly woke up from his dream.
His vision gradually became clear. He was still in Colonel Si's house. Everything in front of him, except for the thick purple fog, was the same as the environment before he fell asleep.
But I always feel that something is wrong.
Su Ran got up from the bed and, in line with her duties as a snail rose, wanted to fold the quilt. But just as she did so, something moved behind her.
Su Ran turned his head suddenly.
Nothing.
The neat cabinets and the empty colonel's room seemed like all this was just an illusion.
Su Ran remained vigilant.
Just then, he felt the floor beneath him vibrate.
He was stunned for just a second, and the furniture around him began to tremble.
As if they had life, they quickly turned into grayish-white wall plaster and merged at an unimaginable speed... like a rippling pool of water, madly absorbing the wood.
"Help--"
Su Ran ran to the windowsill, spread out the small quilt, and wanted to pack the books and candies together, but just after he tied a knot and before he put them on the rhizome, there was a loud bang and the whole house collapsed.
*
After an unknown amount of time, Su Ran woke up.
There was endless darkness before my eyes, and other than that, there was only purple mist.
Accompanied by the sound of dripping water, he climbed up a broken water pipe and carefully observed it for a while. After confirming that it would not turn into a monster, he placed a small leaf along the ten-centimeter gap and absorbed water.
Compared to the dew the colonel gave him, the one here had a smell of rust, which made him very uncomfortable.
After doing all this, Su Ran walked around and checked the situation - a large rock not far away blocked his way, so he could only move in a small range between this water pipe, a few stones, and two roof boards.
This place is like a dark cave, the earth may tremble at any time, and unknown creatures may appear.
And then, and then...
Will there be another big monster?
Su Ran found a big rock, squeezed himself into the crack, then hugged the leaves tightly and started chirping.
"It's so dark." Su Ran whimpered, "Colonel, where are you?"
Before he finished speaking, he shook the little bud again: "No, no, no."
If this place is too dangerous, he would rather stay here alone and not let the colonel come.
At this moment, he heard a very soft sound.
It was a wristwatch. Although half of the strap was broken, the display was still intact and was receiving some information.
Su Ran stared at it for a few seconds and then reacted.
Isn’t this Colonel Si’s watch?
So he stuck his head out and used the tip of the leaf to press all the buttons he could. Following his movements, the display screen turned white, and then a familiar, deep voice came over.
"Colonel Si!" Su Ran rushed out from the crack, holding the watch and crying, "I'm so scared!"
"No."
Si Chengyan's voice was low but steady, giving me a sense of security.
He asked, "How is the situation now?"
"It's so dark in here, I should still be in the house."
"What?"
"Hmm..." Su Ran said, "There's a big water pipe and a big rock blocking the way. Besides that, there's a thick purple fog coming from the rock on the right."
"Okay." Si Chengyan responded, "Don't run around, come quickly."
After the words fell, there was no sound on the other end of the communication and it became quiet.
Su Ran sat obediently next to the watch.
Since the colonel doesn't let him run around, he won't run around!
Be sure to come here safely.
*
Time passes by every second.
Su Ran also held the watch, with its leaves resting on the screen, like a rose waiting obediently.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Ran lifted up the flower bud and saw dots of fluorescence appearing on the back of the water pipe.
It appeared with a whoosh and disappeared with a whoosh.
He was stunned for three or four seconds, then took a few steps forward cautiously.
After seeing clearly, Su Ran stretched out the small leaf and said, "Hello, are you trapped here too?"
The little mushroom poked its head out from the side. Its cap was divided into three, and it was fluorescent green. There were two slender tentacles underneath, which were the color of snow-white mycelium.
The unknown mist turned it into a deformed mushroom.
So Su Ran pinched his little tentacle to show his friendliness.
Just as they met, the mushroom grabbed his leaves and said a bunch of incomprehensible words anxiously.
"What are you talking about?" Su Ran patted his tentacles and said, "I don't understand."
He only knows the language of the Rose Tribe and humans.
The mushroom continued to speak, its speech distorted and nervous, but Su Ran remained calm. He held the colonel's watch, listening to the mushroom's chatter as he nodded and deduced a conclusion: "So, you're a foreign mushroom?"
The foreign mushroom's eyes suddenly became tearful and he started crying.
Elder Rose once said that a long time ago, before the distortion began, humans had many countries, and their languages and living habits were completely different.
Humans also live in different places. Some live by the sea, some live next to windmills and fields, and some choose to live in the mountains - all of them are very safe.
"Are you scared?" Su Ran put the watch on his right side, sat down, and said, "Then I'll tell you a story."
"Hmm. What should I say..." Su Ran said, "Once upon a time, there was a little rose from the Rose Clan. During a transformation, in order to escape a giant monster, she met a very kind human..."
"He's good-looking, the most handsome human officer I've ever seen. He's also very patient and knows how to wash my little leaves for me."
"Oh, by the way, he can kill a big monster with one shot." Su Ran said, spreading his blades, "There was a big octopus that wanted to attack us, but in the end, it was killed by this human with two biubiu shots."
…
As he said this, the communication on the watch was not turned off and a beeping sound was heard.
But it didn't attract Su Ran's attention.
Because he had just learned how to use a human communicator, he didn't understand what the bright red dot was, nor did he know how to turn it off. So Su Ran talked for a long time, until he described himself as a little rose that needed water, and then he stopped.
Just as he was about to go to the water pipe again, there was movement above him.
Grala.
It was the sound of stones being stepped on.
Su Ran's little flower bud straightened up suddenly.
—Did the Colonel come to rescue them?
Thinking this, Su Ran climbed to the top of the rock, the blades clacking against the rock wall. Seeing no movement, he put on his watch, walked a few steps to the big rock, and stood on a small rock.
It was a small crack, through which he could see a little of the outside environment, but it was too small for him and the mushroom to pass through.
So he held the little mushroom and kept jumping high on the rocks: "I'm here!!"
Hearing footsteps not far away, Su Ran shouted with all his strength.
"Colonel Si—is that you?"
The author has something to say:
Su Ran: She is a qualified little rose who loves rainbow farts!
A colonel: My wife praised me, I was happy.
