Chapter 42
Su Ran was very anxious at this time.
He didn't know what had happened, he just felt that he was too tired, so he fell asleep, and then he heard the conversation between the colonel and Anna in a daze. When he woke up, he saw that only the elder was around him.
"Child, what are you looking for?" Elder Rose pulled him to sit on the small rattan bed nearby. "How come you've grown so much taller after going out once and coming back?"
"I..." Su Ran sat on the rattan bed, staring blankly at his surroundings.
Elder Rose took a few slow steps.
At this moment, he heard Su Ran say, "Elder, have you seen a very tall human being?"
Elder Rose: "Humanity..."
"He was a serious-looking guy wearing a military uniform, with a straight figure." Su Ran tried hard to describe him. "He always took care of me and raised me until I was this old."
"So that's how it is." Elder Rose said, "I saw it last night."
Su Ran hugged the small leaf tightly, as nervous as a flower bud.
He didn't know how to ask next, or how to start again.
The colonel had abandoned him and left him completely while he was sleeping.
Although he didn't know the reason, he certainly didn't do it on purpose - something must have happened to send him home.
Su Ran started to whimper.
If you have any reason, just say it directly. Why do you have to leave quietly?
After that, Su Ran stayed on the small rattan bed, staring blankly at the setting sun. The rays passed through the vines and fell, casting a warm shadow on the ground.
When he was little Miaomiao, he loved rolling around in the sunshine like this.
But now, his head was full of memories of the past few months.
So much so that he did not even attend the Rose Tribe's large-scale worship ceremony two days later. This was an extremely mysterious ritual of their tribe, used to pray for sunshine, rain, and to stay away from wild beasts.
In the past, Su Ran always happily followed the elders and spun in circles together.
Originally, he also wanted to bring the colonel over to participate in their ceremony.
But now, he was just sitting alone on a small wooden chair on the side, with his little leaves facing Dot Dot, watching his other little rose friends dancing.
Because of the distortion, these roses all have different combinations of distortions. Some have no leaves, only long mantis hooks, and some have three buds, with two blooming ones dancing and swaying constantly.
This is a very strange ritual, a ceremony that every species in the distorted era will have.
Like humans, they also have anniversaries and various ceremonies. When Su Ran wanted to go home, he saw a small, round shadow quietly passing by in the depths of the woods.
Su Ran's eyes lit up: "It's Lulu!"
He ran over impatiently, and the roots kept limp. When he got in front of it, he found that it was just a similar deformed little mushroom.
"Woo woo." Su Ran started to whimper, "Lulu can't possibly come back..."
But the little mushroom seemed to want to tell him something, and kept drawing something with its octopus tentacles - it seemed that the mushroom family was keen on telling others many things and was a race that loved adventure and communication.
Like Lulu, this little mushroom kept talking, chattering away, but nothing he said could be understood. Finally, he used his mushroom-like way of expressing himself, drawing on the mud.
"You said...something was injured in a cave not far away?" Su Ran carefully deciphered the other person's handwriting. "There were small mushrooms, and...eh?"
The little mushroom drew many little mushrooms, and then a stick figure. He kept mumbling anxiously, but he couldn't speak any language - neither rose language nor human language.
In addition, the little mushroom also drew something crooked, which seemed to be four characters - and at this moment, Su Ran picked up the flower bud in disbelief, and the flower bud was terrified.
That was the team that Si Chengyan had always led, Team 1312.
In his memory, the 1311th unit they had led was wiped out on the day they met. Then the 1312th unit that Anna followed was reorganized after passing through the Manlot area and became Colonel Si's current team.
So... they were in distress?
Su Ran frightened and fell to the ground. He looked at the stickman and shook the little mushroom's tentacles: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Gululuguguji!"
Little Mushroom talked a lot and took a small branch to draw circles on the mud. Su Ran learned that they were in a very dangerous place.
——Looking at the description, it seems to be in a cave, with a lot of weeds and branches, and a small lake in front of the cave. In addition, there are three small flags stuck in the weeds outside the cave.
After seeing the picture, Su Ran could no longer sit still.
Holding the little mushroom's hand, he ran straight to his home.
All the things left by the colonel were still there, even the packages were unopened. Su Ran worked hard to move everything away and took out the microphone from the small bag in front.
This was the luggage they had just packed together a few days ago. After unpacking the microphone, Su Ran waved the small blade and pressed the button directly.
At first, there were two rapid beeps, followed by a mechanical voice.
"Hello, the communication has been instructed and is being sent... Please wait."
"Unable to contact Channel 1312 team."
"Sorry, communication failed. Please try again later."
Su Ran held the microphone tightly.
What... does this mean? Could it be that he can't contact Si Chengyan and the others?
While he was stunned, he saw the green light on the microphone came on. It was an emergency notice from the base - the broadcast said that due to the emergence of an unknown octopus from the new city and the ability to transform freely through ocean currents, all formations were requested to evacuate in a timely manner.
The moment the words fell, the microphone beeped twice, completely cutting off contact.
Su Ran was stunned for several seconds. He held the microphone and digested the information just now. When he came to his senses, he shook the flower bud vigorously.
No, be a brave little rose!
If the colonel is in danger, he should go straight to save him. He also has the power of healing and can definitely save the team.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Su Ran immediately took action. He pulled out two small travel bags from his rose-shaped vagina, then spread out the luggage he and the colonel had packed and put everything in one by one.
At this time, Little Mushroom also wanted to help, but the newly grown octopus tentacles were difficult to control, so he could only watch Su Ran from the side.
Their family has always been helpful, but because of the terrible laboratory in the new city, they had to scatter in the wild, and they also heard the news that its mushroom brother was missing in Haicheng.
The little mushroom grumbled a few more times, making a sad sound.
So Su Ran sorted them out while making room for the small leaves and patted the cap of the small mushroom: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let's go find it together."
After a few seconds, Elder Rose came over.
In his hand was a small, orange bead that shone faintly—like a treasure from the Rose Family. Meanwhile, the elder was slowly walking towards Su Ran.
"Where are you going, kid?"
Su Ran said without hesitation: "Save the Colonel!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Rose sighed and said, "Then I'll give this to you... This is a magical weapon of our Rose Clan. With this little bead, your healing power will be even stronger."
Su Ran took the beads from the elder and said, "Thank you."
With this, he can continue to work hard to save humanity and continue to protect his colonel.
After thanking him, Su Ran continued to pack his luggage. At this moment, he heard Elder Rose ask, "Is that human... really that good?"
"Of course." Su Ran said without hesitation, "Great!"
"He'll tell me stories before bed, just like you, and then... we'll even take a bath together." Su Ran spread out her small bag. "Oh, and he'll drink tea, too. He particularly likes Biluochun, just like you."
Perhaps Su Ran was too excited, or perhaps he didn't think about it, so he packed things with his little leaves while talking, and continued to add: "Sometimes I will lie on him and take a bath together!"
When Elder Rose heard this, he was so surprised that he dropped his cane: "Take a bath together?!!"
"Yeah!" Su Ran pointed at the flower bud.
"Elder, wait for me to come back." He resolutely carried a small bag on his back, which contained a small blanket, a small flashlight, gauze, and a dog ball juice. "I will bring that human back to see you!"
The author has something to say:
A certain colonel: Elder, please listen to my explanation.
