Chapter 29
A gentle white light enveloped the young man.
At the moment of turning into a rose, Su Ran suddenly felt that such a distortion actually made sense if one thought about it carefully.
Earthquakes can create cracks in the earth.
If you think about it this way, it can also be considered a "broken" condition.
If this is true... then there are no dead things in this world, right?
The more Su Ran thought about it, the more frightened he became. When the white light faded away and he turned back into a little seedling, he didn't even notice whether he had turned into a ferocious and cute carnivorous plant.
As soon as the rhizome landed on the ground, Su Ran went straight into the colonel's pocket with a whoosh.
When they poked out the small bud again, they saw that they had arrived at the center of the thick fog.
A huge fog enveloped the platform, and compared to before, it seemed particularly quiet now, as if the whole world had quieted down at this moment.
There were no soldiers screaming, no wild beasts roaring, and time seemed to have stopped.
An indescribable shadow covered them.
"What should we do now?" Su Ran asked in a low voice.
"It's okay." Si Chengyan said as he raised his gun, "I'll take care of it."
At this moment, Su Ran discovered that his gun had been changed.
Unlike the ordinary soldier's gun used before, it became more slender, and a cold silver light appeared in front of his eyes, which aroused Su Ran's interest.
Just as he poked out the bud——
A gunshot rang out.
Si Chengyan fired a shot.
In an instant, a red bullet rushed out of the barrel and attacked the cave dragon!
Su Ran was completely stunned.
I have been in the human world for a long time, but I have never seen a human being who could remain calm in such a situation. He hit the dragon's mouthparts directly with no deviation at all.
Su Ran saw the huge figure in front of him sway.
At this time, the other two entrances they had just entered also became round mouthparts. They had no heads and looked more like eels that were chopped down with a knife. They twisted and turned, and attacked them again in a disorderly manner!
For a moment, the world was spinning.
Su Ran fell back into his pocket. He swayed a few times and used the small leaves to support his roots. Then, two more bangs were heard, and Si Chengyan fired at the other two mouthparts.
When he finally managed to steady his balance, he heard Si Chengyan say calmly, "It's over."
Su Ran: "Hmm?"
He poked his head out of the bud and saw only fog in front of him.
In addition, a black shadow about several hundred meters long was falling in front of him and falling into the endless abyss.
"This is..." Before he could finish his words, he heard movement behind him - the support research institute that had been inaccessible before was finally able to break through the thick fog and landed smoothly behind him.
"Colonel!" Triana was in the lead. "What's the situation now? I think Poke has resolved the crisis."
Si Chengyan responded calmly, then said, "According to the previous plan, seal off the abyss and assess the danger level."
“It has already begun.”
Triana paused for a few seconds and then continued, "Based on previous experience, this unidentified object in the abyss may have another move... Although it is unknown, I..."
Si Chengyan: "Seal it off first."
Triana: “Understood!”
They made their way back to the open space outside the abyss.
At this time, many wounded were lying on the ground. After the attack just now, many people were seriously injured. Anna was organizing the medical department to carry out rescue. When she saw Si Chengyan and others, she waved.
"I can help them," Su Ran said, grunting as he poked his head out of his pocket. "The healing power has returned."
Si Chengyan: "Not now."
"Why?"
"The medical department needs to conduct preliminary screening." Si Chengyan said, "Some people may have unexplained incidents like Tariel."
"oh……"
Su Ran seemed to understand but not quite.
He didn't know what the purpose of the bad old man was, but now, as a rose that had grown in the woods all year round, the fear of his sixth sense had disappeared, making him feel that the crisis was over.
However, he still had some doubts about the bullet Si Chengyan had just used. It seemed that he had never seen it before, but it also seemed a little familiar.
"That bullet just now..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Si Chengyan say, "Nutrient beads."
Su Ran: “???”
Si Chengyan fished him out, held him in his palm, and took him to the helicopter: "In the cave, I mentioned those three."
"Yes, I still remember."
As he finished speaking, Triana spoke up beside him, "In addition to discussing the plan, the main purpose of the previous emergency meeting was to get Colonel Si to return the three nutrient beads to the research institute."
"So, we concluded that the nutrient beads contain a huge amount of energy," Triana said. "This may be why plants need nutrient beads to grow."
Su Ran fell into thought.
He tilted his flower bud, digesting the sentence just now like absorbing the dew from the earth after the rain.
"So..." Su Ran was digging into his pocket when he suddenly shuddered, remembering an idiom he had learned before. "It's called, fighting poison with poison?"
"I guess so."
Triana smiled. "But fortunately, for such a risk... we still made the right bet."
“As for the next issue,” Triana said, “it’s about evacuation.”
*
Su Ran followed the main force back to Area B.
At this time, all the evacuated residents were concentrated in other suspended areas. They stayed in the large air-raid shelters in the buildings, waiting for further plans from the base.
Su Ran also stayed with the colonel. Although he kept whispering, asking if he could use the healing power, the colonel obviously disagreed.
"You are too weak." Si Chengyan said, "If you really want to help, wait until you recover a little."
"but……"
"It's okay." Si Chengyan's eyes flashed with tenderness, "Anna is here, the entire medical team is here, trust us."
Su Ran then responded.
Of course he believed in humans, especially the person next to him.
I don’t know how long it took, but after attending one meeting after another at the research institute with Si Chengyan, I finally knew the next plan.
——Evacuate in mid-air.
This is a brand new term.
It was so new that Su Ran became a confused little rose.
According to the meeting just now, the evacuation plan will be launched in two hours, starting from Area B and ending at Area D. The residential area will be completely moved - the military will remove the suspension chain below, and then with the help of the research institute, use its own power thrusters to carry out the corresponding movement.
"Don't worry, baby." Anna said, "I'll be back in a few days."
"Really?"
Anna poked his little bud, and under Qiao Ran's surprised gaze, she rubbed it again: "The Suspension Plan only allows the floating residential area to temporarily move to the largest old city. As for this area, we will move it back after the risks are eliminated."
Su Ran: "Then..."
He didn't ask, but Anna knew what he was going to ask, so she added, "The other residents will go to the nearest old town."
Su Ran tapped the flower bud.
So that's it.
Then he understood it all.
Simply put, it was a matter of moving. Just like the racial migration Elder Rose had taught him, creatures migrated from one place to another.
They will come back when it is safe.
With Su Ran's understanding, he finally felt relieved. So he let Anna help him scrape the dirt off the leaves in Si Chengyan's palm.
At this, Qiao Ran opened his eyes wide.
"How can you rub the baby? Why can't I touch it--" Before he finished speaking, Qiao Ran glanced at his boss Cheng Yan.
Qiao Ran just shut up.
He didn't want to work overtime because of his baby anymore.
And so, two hours later, the large-scale aerial evacuation began.
Su Ran followed the colonel into the armored vehicle.
This was a large vehicle, large enough to accommodate more than a dozen people, divided into a radar area, a conference area, and a rest area. In front of the radar, Su Ran saw many creatures in the wild, covered with all kinds of strange wings, sharp hooks, and large octopus tentacles.
Suspended above their heads were large floating islands. On this land where countless armored vehicles were running, floating residential areas of various shapes were cast on the ground, forming shadows of varying sizes.
At some point, the little mushroom that had always been with Su Ran was also taken into the armored vehicle.
"Little mushroom!" Su Ran poked her head out, waving the leaves with tears in her eyes, "It's me!"
As the words fell, accompanied by a gurgling sound, the little mushroom ran towards Su Ran, tears streaming down its face. Anna picked it up and placed it on the table. Facing the long little tentacles, Su Ran said, "Wait a moment, I need to talk to the colonel first."
"Colonel, this." Su Ran took out the Poker from his pocket and held it with the small leaf. "I was wearing this on my wrist before. Now I give it back to you."
Si Chengyan rubbed his little flower bud.
"Where are we going now?"
Si Chengyan said, "There is also a relatively large old city there."
"By the fields?"
"no."
"Because of the humid climate there and its proximity to the sea, mutated humans will undergo some changes." Si Chengyan said, "If you see one in the past, don't be afraid."
Su Ran nodded.
After all, they are all benign aberrations, so it’s okay.
After all, he is also benign, the colonel's little rose cub.
So Su Ran grabbed the leaves and looked at him. The flower bud had turned gray because of the previous withdrawal, so he was fished out and placed on a cabinet on the side.
Su Ran has a very small world.
He used a small leaf to tear up some paper towels, then spread the roots apart and wiped off the sticky dirt bit by bit. At this time, Si Chengyan was confirming relevant matters with the branch.
"Colonel, the transfer of the urban area has been initially successful." Anna said, "They are evaluating the compatibility. If suitable, they will give priority to matching."
“What does the recycling program say?”
"That's been confirmed," Anna said. "When the time is right, we'll have a large team carry out the cleanup plan... However, we have to wait until the next round of base aberration assessment is completed."
"Yeah." Si Chengyan said, "I'm also confirming the time with the base."
He paused for a few seconds before saying, "Once the new distortions are classified, I will be the first to enter the new city to conduct exploration."
Anna smiled slightly palely: "You are still the same."
When they said this, Su Ran was happily drinking a glass of dog ball juice.
Hearing this, he suddenly became nervous: "Are you going back again?"
"This is our job." Si Chengyan inserted a small straw into the cup.
Su Ran hummed.
I always feel that working in the military is very dangerous.
He looked up worriedly, and suddenly remembered a new term he had just heard, so he asked, "What is distortion classification and assessment?"
——Is it similar to a human physical examination?
"Every six months, we will adjust the values of the aberrations." Anna rubbed Su Ran's flower bud and said, "After all, the current aberration activities are unstable. Many aberrations need to be cleared if they reach dangerous levels."
Su Ran pulled the little mushroom's tentacles and looked at Anna.
For him, Colonel Si can actually give him absolute peace of mind, making him not afraid of any human physical examination.
but……
Su Ran looked at the little mushroom and asked, "Are you scared?"
Little Mushroom: "Gulu, gurgle!"
Of course he would be scared!
After all, he doesn’t have such a handsome boyfriend!
Thinking this way, the little mushroom, who was looking for a target, began to envy Su Ran and cried a little symbolically. At this moment, he heard Su Ran ask, "What's your name?"
"There will definitely be many other mushrooms in the future." Su Ran gestured, "So, you can give them a human name."
"Just like Elder Rose named it for me."
The little mushroom fell into thought.
He really didn't know what to call himself, but after all, Su Ran and the others were his saviors, and Elder Mushroom was missing, so he let Su Ran help him choose one.
"Gulu." said the little mushroom, "Can you help me choose a name?"
Su Ran: "Really?"
After that, he shared some dog ball juice with Little Mushroom and repeated it to confirm: "Can I help you choose a name?"
Little Mushroom: "Lu."
He can do anything!
"Then..." Su Ran put down the straw, held the flower bud and thought for a few seconds, thinking of the language of the mushroom before, "Then I'll call you Lulu."
The little mushroom clapped happily with its little tentacles.
Su Ran and Lulu had a very friendly conversation. They held their dog Juice Ball and stayed on the cabinet very well, just like two good kids.
In the end, one of the Rose boys was taken away by a colonel.
"I still want to talk to my Lulu." Su Ran asked in a low voice, "Can I?"
Si Chengyan: "We're almost there."
"That's it." Su Ran nodded at the flower bud, "Then play with Lulu later."
Accompanied by the loud roar of the armored vehicles, they crossed the last hillside and turned into a relatively flat area. Here, there were no mutated fungus grass, vines or trees, but only patches of low bushes.
Although this bush is not very normal, it emits a blue light.
They were spread across both sides of the road, forming a glowing ocean. Such a scene made Su Ran, who had always grown up inland, exclaim in surprise.
"We're going to the residence in the old city later." Si Chengyan carefully put Su Ran into his pocket, thought for a few seconds, took it out again, and put it on his shoulder. "It's all arranged, don't worry."
Su Ran hummed.
For some reason, despite being in such a distorted environment, all they could do was adapt to the development of this world. However… after getting off the armored vehicle and following the other soldiers into this old coastal city, Su Ran couldn't help but feel curious.
What exactly is the residence that Colonel Si arranged for you to live in?
The author has something to say:
