Chapter 69
The sound of the gunshot made Su Ran subconsciously turn his head - and saw a familiar slender figure walking out of the thick fog.
Before he could come to his senses, he flew into the air.
Immediately afterwards, more bullets rushed out, but they only penetrated the thick fog as if it were air.
"What's this--"
Before Su Ran could finish his words, he fell into the other party's pocket. At this time, Elder Rose was also rescued by Qiao Ran.
Si Chengyan's expression was calm. He held his gun horizontally and said calmly, "Evacuate first."
So Su Ran followed the colonel.
Along the way, vines were uprooted, thousands and thousands of them, mixed with countless dirt and dust, falling to the ground one by one.
And under the thick white fog, Su Ran saw countless white eyeballs growing from the cracks in the tree roots, rolling around and leaking out sticky liquid.
These vines that they lived with day and night were the same as those in the deep woods. Su Ran held on to the other person's clothes tightly.
Just then, he suddenly heard something.
A plant instinct arose, and before the word "Colonel" was uttered, mist suddenly rushed out from in front of them, turning into a hard sharp blade and attacking them!
Su Ran was so scared that she covered her flower bud.
Time seems to be frozen.
After two or three seconds, he saw the fog take a step back and fade away rapidly - as if it was afraid of something.
Su Ran: "Hmm?"
He quietly lifted the bud and saw Si Cheng just looking at him.
The blue eyes seemed a little deeper than before, flickering with something. It was only a few seconds, and when he looked at the colonel again, he found that the other party had just withdrawn his gaze from there.
I don't know how long it took, until the area in front of them was no longer covered with vines. A ray of purple light from the sky fell on its roots, and they saw that they had come to a very open flat land.
Countless tents were set up on it.
Unlike any previous campsites, these were simple tents that seemed ready to move at any time. Inside each tent was a simple configuration: basic supply boxes, a small kitchen, and a bed.
"We're safe for now." Lurt flew over from the side, holding Guji and the others in his hands and with birds beside him. "But... there are only a few vines that can escape."
The moment he landed, he breathed a sigh of relief. Turning to look at Si Chengyan, he said, "But just now, the support institute received intelligence saying that the fog has spread to their area."
Su Ran poked his head out of the colonel's pocket: "What's going on now?"
He hadn't been to the human city for a long time. Since the distorted building, he had gone to the deep tree area, and now, his rose companions had not returned yet.
"We all have camps like this now." Anna came over from a distance and saw Su Ran. She explained, "Because large buildings will mutate, we have no choice but to do this."
"These tents can be automatically erected and folded in seconds," she said. "We will roll them out across our city in the future."
"Then the future..."
Before Su Ran finished speaking, Anna said, "It might be the floating island plan."
When this term came out, Su Ran was stunned.
"What's this?"
“The workable plan that is now being proposed.”
Su Ran was still in a daze.
At this time, he heard Qiao Ran say, "Similar to the construction islands in the new city before, the iron things, maybe we will all live on such construction islands in the future."
"Perhaps the lower levels of the island will also be used to build platforms," Qiao Ran said. "For example, a circular iron island could have many layers of platforms dug underneath for various production activities, such as growing vegetables."
Su Ran: "So that's how it is."
"Islands like these can be combined or separated at will. If anything happens in the future, they can be relocated as quickly as possible... Actually, it's very simple to understand. Land isn't safe, so floating is the only option."
Anna said, and helped Su Ran wash from inside to outside.
Afterwards, Anna and Qiao Ran went back, and Guji and Elder Rose were also taken away by them for treatment.
Su Ran and Si Chengyan were the only two people left in the entire venue.
Having not seen each other for a long time, Su Ran felt that he had a lot to say to the colonel, but when the words really came to his lips, he could not utter a single word.
"Before..." Su Ran asked, "Is the wound healed?"
"Um."
"Is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?"
"It's okay." Si Chengyan's tone softened a lot, "Don't worry anymore."
After hearing this, Su Ran nodded to the flower bud and said nothing more. When he rolled up the leaves and looked at Si Chengyan, he seemed to want to say something.
So he asked, "What just happened?"
Si Chengyan looked at Su Ran: "Hmm?"
"That is..." Su Ran asked in a low voice, "Why did the fog suddenly stop?"
After the words were spoken, there was a brief silence.
Si Chengyan looked at Su Ran. The color in his eyes was still blue, just like the one he looked at every night, but it was different. It was a deep blue that could cover the entire ocean.
After a few seconds, he said, "This is my ability."
