Chapter 50
Su Ran looked very serious.
After just a few seconds, Si Chengyan said, "Let's talk about it when we get up there."
Su Ran nodded: "Okay."
At this time, the vines had completely stopped growing. They were still crowded and growing towards the sunlight. At the very top, Su Ran saw a slight change in color. It seemed that the vines were no longer dark green, but began to wither, as if burnt, and turned into a dark brown.
"We have to hurry." Si Chengyan said, "The supernatural power has already begun, and soon these vines will wither and die."
Su Ran: "Yeah."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the vine with all his strength and climbed up.
And Si Chengyan followed behind.
Su Ran had never seen such a human before. Although his body was covered in wounds, it did not affect his endurance or physical strength in the slightest. In just a few seconds, Su Ran felt himself being lifted up, grabbing the vines and climbing up bit by bit.
The skylight in front of him was getting closer and closer, and Su Ran saw more ancient characters.
Those ancient marks did not disappear with time. On the contrary, they were very clear - this reminded Su Ran of the Rose Family's files. It seemed that because of the distortion, this type of paper had a stronger ability to preserve things.
When Su Ran climbed over the last vine, he touched the hard ground, and then the scenery in front of him appeared.
Before entering the cave, he and Guji entered from the bottom of the cliff.
Now, all those deep ravines and caves, large and small, had vanished. Su Ran looked around in surprise, until Si Chengyan climbed up and burrowed into his palm. Only then did he hear him say, "The ground is deforming."
Su Ran heard this and opened his eyes wide: "Could it be..."
Si Chengyan responded.
"You guessed right." He took out another bandage and wrapped it around his arm a few times. "Those holes, just like the Xincheng before, have a will."
"how so?"
"But fortunately, the land distortion has no impact for now." Si Chengyan said, "It's just a short-distance migration."
Su Ran listened carefully and understood as a rose should - until he came to his senses and remembered the question he had asked the colonel before.
So he said, "I haven't finished asking the question just now."
"Go ahead."
"Just..." Su Ran said, "Your right arm doesn't look right."
Si Chengyan said: "Yes, I'm injured."
"where?"
"Here's the elbow." Si Chengyan said lightly, "Actually, there are wounds in many places."
Seeing Su Ran's nervous face, he comforted her softly, "I also used the herbs from yesterday."
"I don't believe it. Unless... unless you show me the arm and the wound, then I'll believe it..."
Su Ran turned into a fussy little rose, mumbling several times: "Instead of tying bandages on my arms one after another like now..."
Before he finished speaking, the corners of his eyes turned red.
It's just very sad.
The colonel must have downplayed it so lightly because he was afraid that he would worry.
But now he couldn't change back, and he didn't know how much healing power he had left, but he couldn't help at all.
Thinking of this, Su Ran made herself cry again.
He half-closed his eyes, tears falling, and then wiped them away silently - he stopped sobbing only when Si Chengyan rolled up his sleeves and stretched his arms in front of him.
I saw an ordinary wound on the inside of my arm.
After spending so much time with humans and some time in the medical team, Su Ran knew that this wound was not serious. Many soldiers would be injured accidentally. They might bump into something or be bitten by man-eating vines, and they would all have this bite wound.
Seeing that he still looked worried, Si Chengyan continued to roll up his sleeves, but after just a few tries, he was pulled back by Su Ran.
Su Ran: "Are you really okay?"
"Yeah." Si Chengyan said, "We can make a pinky promise."
"I'm not in the form of a rose now."
"Humans can also make pinky promises."
Su Ran smiled, as if she was obsessed with something: "No, only small leaves can count."
"How about I turn into a rose too?" Si Chengyan's eyes flashed with a smile, "Or I can turn into a big tree, wrap you in its branches, and then use the leaves to make a pinky promise with you."
“No.”
Su Ran has her own unique little rose rule: "The colonel is the colonel, I am me, humans and roses cannot change."
Si Chengyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly again.
"Well," he said, "I hope so."
After this, they waited for several hours on flat ground.
This place, which was once a canyon, has become a barren plain with no grass after all the caves disappeared overnight.
But this also provides the possibility for military support forces to land.
After Su Ran was carried onto the plane by Si Chengyan, the accompanying medical staff immediately examined and treated him - it seemed that Su Ran mainly suffered external injuries.
Indeed, he knew that the external injuries were fine, but as for the healing power, he would only know how much was left after he turned into a rose.
The colonel also completed the inspection under the supervision of this little rose.
Compared to Su Ran, many of his injuries were deep into his flesh and bones and required further treatment.
So, after they landed at a camp and were taken off the plane by medical staff, they came to a temporary medical location, the support institute, for further treatment.
"Colonel, welcome back." Triana came out of the tent. "We've all been waiting for you."
After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Su Ran and she said, "I have arranged for someone to help you treat your wounds."
Triana paused as she spoke and said, "Su Ran, follow the medical staff next to you and go get the bandage done."
"And the Colonel?"
"We have an emergency meeting, about an hour."
Su Ran frowned subconsciously: "But..."
"It's okay. The assessor has already informed us of the situation," Triana said. "Don't worry."
So Su Ran nodded: "Okay then."
They were only a few steps away from the medical station, but he kept looking at the Colonel.
Finally, Su Ran obediently followed the medical team into the tent.
After seeing the young man disappear behind the tent, Triana withdrew her gaze. "Alright, Su Ran has left. This is a temporary camp. He won't be reported to the base. Please rest assured."
"Yes." Si Chengyan said, "I came to the research institute this time because I was slightly injured and needed testing."
"Identification of wound contamination?"
"right."
Triana nodded and began to record: "Where was the injury? When?"
"The abyssal cave." Si Chengyan rolled up his sleeves. "The relevant locations have been sorted out and sent back to the base."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and saw that the scar that Su Ran had seen just now had turned into dense black blood beads, even more severe than before, spreading like little ants to his upper arm.
"It looks more serious," Triana said. "These types of wounds usually have a short concealing period. Within about 48 hours after contamination, they become like normal wounds, which makes people relax."
"right."
"That's how you hid it from Su Ran, right?"
Si Chengyan: "I just don't want him to worry."
"Understood," Triana said. "How about this? I'll have them send the two wound epidermis tests we've already done to the research institute, and have Poker handle them. They'll also be able to determine if the wound is contaminated."
"Thank you."
Triana: "It's okay, it's what we should do."
After the words were spoken, they were silent for a few seconds.
Si Chengyan rolled up his sleeves again and bandaged them. After doing all this, he looked at Triana and asked, "Besides this, is there any news about the missing team members?"
"Qiao Ran and Anna are fine. They have already sent the coordinates."
Triana seemed to still be in shock. She looked at Si Chengyan and said, "They were trapped in a moving cave, and then followed the entire area, automatically migrating, and finally arrived more than ten kilometers outside."
Even though they were waiting for the results, they did not stop discussing.
In the distance, Su Ran had finished bandaging the baby. He was sitting under a big tree, holding Guji and flipping through the picture book he had read before.
Occasionally he would look at Si Chengyan, wondering what they were discussing, but he was a polite rose and knew not to disturb them.
At this moment, Triana ended another communication.
When she looked at Si Chengyan, she suddenly said, "What are you going to do about Su Ran?"
"Excuse me, although you have your own standpoint, but..." Triana paused for a few seconds and whispered, "I feel that you shouldn't let Su Ran go."
She paused for a few seconds and said, "This is just my personal perspective. Maybe my thoughts are very simple."
“But if it were someone else, like Anna, I don’t know what I would do,” Triana said. “What would you do next?”
"Everything depends on the test results."
After saying these few simple words, Triana sighed, "Yes, as your subordinate, I shouldn't be so emotional."
Si Chengyan didn't say anything else.
In fact, as a commander, no one will notice his emotions. He is the cornerstone of the entire formation and even the entire military, and there cannot be any fluctuations.
However, at this moment, he clenched his fingertips, which even turned slightly white.
He didn't release his fingers until his injury status was automatically displayed on Poker and he was prompted to click "Confirm" to continue checking.
At this time, Su Ran was still sitting not far away. Although his face was pale and he had no strength to turn the pages, he still looked tired, but the night gave this young man a gentle glow.
At this moment, perhaps because of Guji, he laughed softly a few times.
Si Chengyan hadn't seen Su Ran so relaxed for a long time.
It seemed that the last time she was still a little rose, she had this expression when he held the little bud in his arms and flipped through a storybook.
They were never the ones who got to choose.
Si Chengyan thinks so.
Without further hesitation, he lowered his head, raised his hand and clicked "Confirm" - in an instant, the screen lit up white, and the contamination results of the wound appeared before his eyes.
