Chapter 57
Su Ran just looked at Si Chengyan.
His expression was very serious, and even the small leaf was held tightly, even though it was gray.
"Where are you going?" Su Ran asked again.
He moved forward, raised the flower bud and looked at Si Chengyan: "Are you... leaving again?"
Seeing that Si Chengyan didn't reply, he glanced at Lu Teer and whispered, "Can I go with you?"
Si Chengyan frowned slightly.
For some reason, Su Ran had not been so cautious before, but now, his tone was careful and cautious - it seemed like a tone of request.
Si Chengyan didn't know where this change came from.
However, he couldn't ask Su Ran the reason directly, so he gently grabbed Su Ran's leaf and said, "I'll go look for the deep tree area first."
"Deep Tree Area..." Su Ran repeated, then realized, "I want to go too!"
He shook Si Chengyan's fingers, very anxious.
"Shenshu District is where I grew up," Su Ran said. "If I can find any trace of Shenshu District, I can provide help."
After all, he could sense the scent of roses.
The deep wooded area was where they lived all year round, and it was already stained with many traces of roses. So to some extent, he could follow this scent to find it.
Si Chengyan remained silent. After thinking for a few seconds, he looked at Su Ran.
His blue eyes were emotionless, reflecting Su Ran's small figure. After a while, he sighed, "Okay, but be careful."
Hearing this, Su Ran immediately opened the small leaves and climbed up to her wrist with her fingers.
He wanted to say something, but saw Si Chengyan's brows furrowed a little.
"What's wrong?" Su Ran asked, "Is your arm injured?"
Si Chengyan put Su Ran into his chest pocket: "No."
Su Ran stared at the other person for a few seconds and tightened his grip on his pocket slightly.
Now he couldn't use the healing power, so he curled up the leaves a little bit. For some reason, he became unconfident when talking to Si Chengyan just now.
Su Ran didn't know what was wrong with her.
But without the power of healing, he probably wouldn't be qualified to stay with the colonel.
Thinking of this, Su Ran whimpered again in a very low voice. In order to prevent the colonel from hearing, he quickly wiped the flower bud with a small leaf, and put himself in the mood of a small rose.
Su Ran and Si Chengyan said goodbye to Luter.
Then, they set out from the deep woods and walked along a wide road towards the east. From time to time, loud noises were heard in the distance, like the sound of bricks rubbing against each other, echoing in the open land.
Sometimes, huge shadows would pass by, hundreds of meters apart, and of varying heights in the distant fog.
Every time he saw this, Su Ran would hide in Si Chengyan's pocket.
"Don't be afraid." He heard the other person's voice coming through the fabric, "These are all architectural mutations. It's okay."
"...Architectural mutation?"
"It's a new term. It was just approved by the Support Institute two days ago. It's term number 3281."
Su Ran: "Is that so?"
It seemed that when he was first picked up by Si Chengyan, his number was just over 2000.
In just a few months, more than a thousand codes had been added, all of which were new distortion types. This rate of growth was beyond Su Ran's expectations.
While he was thinking, he heard the other party say: "This type of building is not dangerous at present."
"So what's their purpose?"
"It's still unclear," Si Chengyan said. "The motivation for their mutation is unclear, including why they have vitality and the reason for their deformation. None of this is clear."
"But one thing is certain: these buildings are searching for something and appear to be moving with a purpose."
"Then... where will we live in the future?" Su Ran asked, "If all the houses turn into giant monsters, will humans have to sleep outdoors?"
Isn't this just like his little rose?
But humans are different from plants. They need shelter in order to survive.
Facing Su Ran's question, Si Chengyan thought for a few seconds: "Actually, no need."
"Um?"
"The buildings that mutated this time were all damaged by more than 50%." Si Chengyan said, "Within this standard, there should be no problem."
Su Ran: "That's good."
What he hopes is that all human beings can have a home.
The Rose Family has suffered a heavy blow, but as long as humans are fine and the person next to them is safe, that is enough.
It was already his little vision of a rose.
In addition, he also wanted to cure the elder and be able to be by his side and be a good little rose who would never be naughty again.
Thinking of this, Su Ran clasped her hands together and made these two wishes in the colonel's pocket.
Following the colonel, they had already walked forty or fifty kilometers to the east. Surrounding them were fog and steep mountain walls, and the only sounds were the faint sounds of wild beasts, echoing and humming, lingering around them for a long time.
They climbed up another huge rock.
This was the third "base" Su Ran had found. It was a place where he felt the scent of roses, but every time he sensed it, he could never find any other trace of roses.
"Am I mistaken?" Su Ran stood on the stone, with the leaves pressed against the bud, and whispered, "But I really think there are rose friends here..."
"It doesn't matter."
"No, no, I need to feel it again."
Having said this, Su Ran gathered all his strength and looked around hard.
Finally, he discovered a little trace - it seemed that in the distance, there were a few pale rose-colored traces, which were extending from the cracks in the earth and quietly spreading to the earth.
But Su Ran didn't notice this.
Perhaps because of their size, by the time he saw them, they had already formed a faint layer on the ground. They shimmered softly, and at first glance, they seemed to be the marks left by the rose's companions.
"That's it!" Su Ran pointed at the tip of the small leaf and said, "There's a big tree over there!"
Not only that, it also looked very much like the tree in the deep tree area, the tree that had witnessed him since childhood. So Su Ran pulled the colonel's sleeve. For some reason, starting from the second big stone, the colonel would sit next to him instead of standing beside him with his arms folded like before.
"Let's go and take a look."
"good."
Si Chengyan propped up the stone as he spoke. His face was abnormally pale, but he still said nothing. Apart from a slight sway when he stood up, there was nothing else.
At this time, Su Ran had her back to him and did not notice anything unusual.
In the thick fog, that tree seemed a little strange.
Su Ran used leaves to block the small flower buds, and when she looked again, the tree seemed to have grown bigger.
Something is wrong.
The moment this thought came to mind, a huge shadow grew even bigger.
Su Ran discovered that the sacred tree in the "Deep Tree Area" - the sacred tree that protected him as he grew up, was now standing in front of them with its branches spread out.
"It's this tree, but why is it so strange?!" Su Ran was so excited that he lay down in his pocket and said to Si Chengyan, "It seems to have come over here by itself--"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise!
At some point, the sacred tree in the distance suddenly drilled into the ground. When they saw it again, the earth suddenly opened up a big hole and it rose up directly in front of them!
There were no signs or warnings of any danger.
This sacred tree seemed to have life. After a brief pause, it chopped down towards them.
The author has something to say:
Su Ran: This tree is so scary!!
