Chapter 59
Su Ran sat down on the ground.
He waved his little leaves and cried for a long time, turning into a crying little rose.
When she was crying so hard, she grabbed the colonel's sleeve and blew her nose.
But it only took a few seconds for Su Ran to realize what was going on.
He has to take care of the colonel!
Just like he picked him up before, now it was his turn to take care of the colonel.
Thinking of this, Su Ran blew his nose again.
Then he secretly encouraged himself.
You must, you must cheer up.
So Su Ran was no longer sad. He grabbed the leaves and dragged the colonel into the double-layer cliff cave.
Su Ran finally felt relieved after he could no longer see the colonel or his shadow. He dusted himself off and helped the colonel clean the dust off his clothes.
Finally, he searched the cave thoroughly.
Unexpectedly, there seem to be traces of living creatures here, more likely humans.
Near the back of the cliff, beneath the winding vines, there was a pile of extinguished matches. Atop the blackened wood, a small stove was placed.
All around were some gauze and two mostly-open backpacks. Judging from the dusty appearance, it seemed that these things had been abandoned and no one knew where their owners had gone.
Su Ran knew that they were still within the search range of the sacred tree, so they could not stay outside for long.
He dragged some basic necessities, especially three empty water bottles.
Su Ran washed them one by one, filled them with water, which was their most necessary living thing, and then dragged some freeze-dried ham to the small pile of matches.
If the colonel could wake up, he would definitely be hungry.
Su Ran thought so, so he patted the ham and said, "Be good and wait to be eaten."
So Su Ran started a new round of search.
In the end, his attention was focused on the backpack beside him.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the backpack rope and went straight in.
After a few seconds, he crawled out again with two diaries on his head, and fell to the ground in front of the backpack with his shirt.
At this moment, a faint voice appeared in my ears. It seemed to be the huge sacred tree monster from before!
Su Ran was so frightened that she dared not move.
The earth was shaking and floating up and down. Su Ran quietly stayed behind the backpack, using the backpack strap to block it, leaving only a small half of the flower bud exposed.
He didn't know how long it took, but only when the shadow completely dissipated did he feel at ease to drag everything in.
Everything was dark, the sky had turned a bluish purple, and a few stars were shining as they set. Su Ran leaned over to Si Chengyan and checked his wound first.
——Fortunately, it didn’t get worse.
He leaned against it quietly, his usually stern brows slightly frowned at this moment, as if he was still enduring something.
Su Ran had no way to resolve his pain.
Elder Rose once said that once humans are polluted, there are only two outcomes: miserable death or becoming more powerful.
The probability of the first one is far greater than the latter. According to the elder's experience, the humans he has seen have almost no willpower to survive this stage.
But Su Ran felt that the colonel could do it.
Even though he hasn't woken up yet and his wound is still infected, but...
The colonel has him!
He would make the Colonel better.
Thinking of this, Su Ran laid out all the clues he had just found.
"Adventure Handbook..." He read out the name of the first book and whispered, "It seems to be written by an adventurer..."
Su Ran chattered while flipping through a few pages.
I saw that much of the content inside had been corroded by wind and frost, and there was a lot of ink residue on the title page, so it was no longer possible to tell what was written.
So Su Ran flipped through the pages again.
The small fire nearby brought warmth. Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief and turned the pages, shaking the leaves.
11.21 Winter, evening.
These are the only supplies we have.
Kalipa was trying to comfort us, but he could barely hold on any longer.
We're all injured, starving, and freezing, and we might not even be able to cross this cliff. But...his suggestion just now wasn't bad. Finding the "crystal core" is more effective than searching for any other herbs or food.
11.25 Winter, morning.
I studied the position and shape of the crystal nucleus.
It should be a round bead, orange in color, that glows on its own. Having this thing can help wounds heal.
But anyway, in this gloomy weather, the glowing beads must be visible at a glance. But now there is nothing to be found, how is this possible?
11.28 Winter, night.
We went looking for crystal cores.
The good news is that we saw the crystal core, hidden in a stone wall.
When I came to take it away, there was no one there. I just saw the shadows of a few roses, but it didn't matter. Even though they were deformed plants, they were gentle.
…
The logs were not updated afterwards.
It seems that the date is forever stuck on the winter night of November 28th.
Su Ran had no idea where these human explorers had gone, but he understood one thing: he, like those explorers, had come to a place that might have a "crystal core".
Maybe the crystal core can make his elder better!
Su Ran pointed at the flower bud with a look of certainty on her face.
He closed the journal and suddenly thought for a few seconds.
For some reason, the shape of this bead is very similar to the one Elder Rose gave him before he left last time, but...
He had lost the beads before.
He remembered that one day when he was in the wild, he took it out and slept with it in his arms, but when he woke up the next day, the bead was gone.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was no trace at all, but apart from that, there was something strange.
Su Ran vaguely remembered that when she woke up that day, the leaves and rhizomes were covered with a faint orange light, but it was fleeting and disappeared after a few seconds.
Su Ran still couldn't figure it out.
Maybe this bead is too naughty.
I hope that when I find it later, I won’t be too playful and just cure the Colonel and Elder Rose.
Su Ran made a small nest next to the colonel.
But it was too cold at night and he was shivering, so he stayed close to the colonel again, put on the shirt as a cover, and then quickly slipped under the shirt, hugging Si Chengyan and fell asleep.
The next day, when he crawled out from Si Chengyan's chest again, it was already morning.
Su Ran planned to search for crystal cores today, so he recorded all the matters that needed to be done on behalf of Little Rose at the back of the diary.
When he wrote the last line, he paused for a moment, then began to think seriously.
Su Ran's gaze fell on the colonel again.
The other party was leaning quietly, with a thin layer of blood scabs formed on the black blood beads on his arm, and also covered with a fleeting orange glow - it seemed that his wounds would heal if he slept with the colonel in his arms last night.
Su Ran didn't know the principle.
However, since it works, he might as well give it a try.
Maybe it's the remaining healing power.
Or... well, he couldn't come to any conclusion, as long as the wound healed.
Su Ran forgot all the distant fog, the damp earth, and the unpredictable whistling sound. He leaned over the booklet and wrote crookedly on it:
Sleeping with the Colonel today (0/1)
The author has something to say:
Su Ran: We have to sleep together every day!
