After Alton picked up a small dot from the cave and went back, he began to worry.
Naturally, there is no food in the cave, and it is impossible for a little one to hunt, and Pure City was destroyed half a year ago, so what did he eat in the past six months
Alton took the doctor's advice and had the kitchen boil the eggs before mashing them.
Alton held the bowl, looked at the little guy who was lying on Lucas, dumbfounded, stepped forward and said, "Oh, the little guy is down."
"Yah..." Little Luoran grabbed Lucas's neck and didn't want to let go.
Lucas was strangled by Fate's neck and wondered: "Why is he sticking to me?"
"Chicken complex." Alton shook the egg in front of Luo Ran with a smile.
Luo Ran blinked and turned around blankly.
Alton carefully fed Luo Ran a small bite, and a tall man was at a loss for such a soft dumpling.
After eating a bowl of eggs, Alton finally succeeded in abducting the child into his arms.
Holding Luo Ran, Alton grinned and smiled at Lucas: "Ouch, soft, completely different from your tough little brat."
"I don't know what this little guy will differentiate into when he grows up. If it's a beta, it's fine, but if it's an alpha or an omega, then it's incredible. After all, it's a child of Pure City."
Some people, like Lucas, are differentiated at birth, while others are differentiated until adulthood.
Lucas looked at the child who buried his face in Alton's neck and said, "He has no parents, and he can't be found. After that..."
After the doctor's examination, it was confirmed that Luo Ran had lost memory, aphasia, and dementia after staying in the cave for half a year, and even her body functions had changed a lot.
When the patrol came to the cave, the stones and insects were gone, and they didn't know what was going on. They just thought they had been disconnected from the outside world for too long. After all, it was a miracle that the child survived.
"In the future, we will naturally let him live a good life in the capital. We have to send him back to receive rehabilitation and formal education. Look at him, now he can't say anything. He needs a teacher to teach him to re-enter the human society. Life, how could it be possible to fight with us everywhere." Alton raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What? You are reluctant, but you still want to keep him? How about being a child bride?"
"No!" Lucas said with a hot face, "Nonsense, how old is he?"
"Hahaha..." Alton loves to tease Lucas the most, kicking Lucas' ass and saying, "Stupid brat, what daughter-in-law are you thinking of, give me some training!"
"Well..." Seeing that the big man drove the little man away, Xiao Luoran bit Alton's shoulder aggrievedly.
"Is this hungry again?" Alton deliberately teased, picking off the small leaves of the potted plants on the desk, holding the leaves and scratching Luo Ran's nose and ears.
"Ow!"
However, Xiao Luoran raised her head hard and tried to bite the leaf, as if she was very hungry.
Alton frowned slightly. The child looked puzzled at eggs, but treated leaves like food. Could it be that... This child used to eat grass in the cave
"Poor little one, I'll make another egg for you." Alton went to the kitchen with Luo Ran in his arms.
…
Lorraine remembered.
He was once embraced by Alton, Lucas' uncle and true relative, father, who was also a hero of the Empire.
It was Alton who sent him back to the capital orphanage, arranged a doctor and counselor for him, and concealed his identity as a pure descendant of the city in order to protect him from being coveted by outsiders and pirates.
And after he went back for rehabilitation, his body that had been empty for half a year was properly treated, and finally broke out. He was seriously ill and had a fever.
Luo Ran slowly opened her eyes.
"Wake up." Xia Zhi was sitting on the side reading a book, and when he saw Luo Ran awake, he poured water for him.
Luo stared blankly at the summer solstice.
"You were transported back from the snow mountain." Xia Zhi rubbed the top of Luo Ran's hair and said, "You are injured again, you are really..."
"I didn't expect it either." Luo Ran smiled and said hoarsely, "Suddenly these things happened."
Luo Ran propped up on the bed and took the water, still buzzing in her head.
Luo Ran drank water while holding on, and then kneaded lightly by pressing her temples.
Xia Zhi sighed and said: "You originally had a big gap in your spirit. Before the stacking of unk and mecha was not good, and now you are injured again, I have injected you a lot of sedatives and painkillers. Most of them will produce antibodies, which are not good for your health, you can only wait for the admiral to come back or support yourself."
"It's okay." Luo Ran adjusted her airway: "It's either unacceptable pain or a little uncomfortable."
Like someone holding a needle and poking it every now and then.
"Well, if you really can't help it, just tell me," Xia Zhi gently rubbed Luo Ran's shoulder and said, "I'm really scared of you, next time you have something to do, don't go out and let the people below you. Do it, you are the target of Xing Kou."
Luo Ran nodded, "Pay attention next time."
It's really not good for him to run out again. Even if the team he leads is strong and elite, accidents may still happen.
It's not that Luo Ran is afraid of accidents, he just doesn't want himself to be in danger. Lucas has to worry about him while fighting.
"What's going on?" Luo Ran asked, "Why am I suddenly mentally attacked?"
"what… "
In order to facilitate the treatment, Xia Zhi also learned about the situation from Lu Chenghe's research institute, and explained to Luo Ran the giant insect found by the detector.
"But we can't determine what the worm looks like and what it really looks like, only an infrared image."
"Can I take a look?" Luo Ran frowned slightly, could it be...
Xia Zhi showed Luo Ran the picture of the village in his terminal, and Luo Ran immediately felt subtle.
Luo Ran recognized the square head as soon as he saw it. It was indeed the bug he met in the cave when he was a child, but it wasn't that big at that time.
"Maybe... he didn't come to attack me." Luo Ran frowned slightly.
He stayed in the cave for half a year and never saw any insect attack him. On the contrary, perhaps it is because of the energy of the bug that he can survive.
"It's impossible to say, and we don't know what it is. But you've been in a coma for a day and a half, and the research institute has already made a preliminary judgment." Xia Zhi took an apple and gave it to Luo Ran to cut, and told him that this day to the findings of the Institute.
"First of all, we all know that ice mines are produced because of the energy of geological action. There are countless movements, changes and creatures underground. After the ground reaches a certain level, the temperature is not suitable for us, and drones will also be shot down by unknown creatures. Therefore, It has always been uncharted territory."
After opening the first year of the universe, people discovered countless unknown areas, but anyway, the well water does not violate the river water.
Xia Zhi continued: "Experts calculated the energy and strength of the worm, and deduced that it came from that unknown underground, and the lines on its back were supposed to be underground magma."
Luo Ran frowned and said, "Then why did it come up...?"
"It should be because it comes from the ground in the east of Luobing. In the east of Luobing, there is not only the largest main mine of the ice mine, but also countless large and small mines. The excavation there is too frequent, too deep, and even changed. The geology, and the east is connected to the sea, and the bottom of the sea is also there, maybe the insects will come up when they feel the fluctuations on the ground..."
"Understood."
"The research institute also speculated and locked the species." Xia Zhi showed Luo Ran the photos on the database again, "The code of this bug is ex1, the size of the bug was originally not large, but it will absorb the energy of the movement of the land and the crust to make it hard by itself. The shell protects itself, and it releases radiation energy during the manufacturing process, just like humans breathe oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Now unk is alive, so we can contact and infer that the unknown energy source is likely to allow the ice mine to evolve into unk. After all, unk appeared Everywhere has that bug's energy trajectory."
Luo Ran struggled to absorb with his chaotic head.
"Meaning, the worm that suddenly appeared came up from the ground because of excessive digging, and released the energy that allowed the stone to evolve into unk because of its own hard shell manufacturing process?"
"Yes, but no one has really seen the bug so far, and can't be sure if it is ex1, and even if it is, no one has actually touched it, so the instructions in the database and textbooks may not be correct. Everything is just speculation."
Luo Ran lowered her eyes and thought quietly.
He felt that the information should be correct. If the information is correct, then by analogy, he should have encountered insects in the cave before, absorbed the energy released by the insects, and evolved with other stones, so he did not die.
And also evolved into a 3s omega in adulthood.
But humans are not stones, those omegas, including him, had side effects after exposure to unk.
Then why did he accept the energy for half a year but it was fine
Luo Ran took the apple that Xiazhi handed him and took a bite absentmindedly.
Why are there no side effects? What makes him different from others? It's impossible because he's from the pure city. In the final analysis, the pure city is just a little better in mental strength, so his outbreak is not as serious as others.
"Xia Xia."
"Um?"
"Then the government and research institutes all know about the bug, what are they going to do?"
As soon as I mentioned this summer solstice, I got a headache, "Oh, don't talk about it, history repeats itself. The first prince and the second prince were arguing about whether or not to use unk before, and now with this bug, it starts again."
The eldest prince's side advocates to capture and let the bugs create new unk and energy for them, while the second prince's side hopes that the army can find and kill the bugs to avoid future troubles.
Luo Ran finished eating the apples, and Xia Zhi immediately handed him a tissue paper.
Luo Ran asked while wiping his hands, "What do you think?"
"I...? I don't know..." Xia Zhi scratched his cheeks and said, "I just think that all things are interdependent, and since unk is a product of natural creatures, there must be something restrained, otherwise the big bug will not survive, right? The animals and plants around unk can't survive, right? It's just that we don't know what that thing is."
If you can find it, then you don't need to bother the bugs. After eliminating the side effects, unk can also be refined and used.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, don't worry about the outside world, take care of your physical and mental state first." Xia Zhi got up and said, "I'll turn off the lights for you, you should have a good rest first."
"Wait." Luo Ran stopped Xiazhi and said a little embarrassedly: "That..."
"Um?"
"I want to leave the hospital tomorrow and go back to the company to recover."
"Are you crazy?!" Xia Zhi stared: "You still want to go to work?! What's the matter, the empire will perish without you
"Xia Xia...!" Luo Ran interrupted Xia Zhi's crazy output, and said a little embarrassedly: "I, I didn't go back to work."
"Then what are you doing back home!"
A gentle doctor in Xiazhi was forced to swear by Luo Ran.
Luo Ran had to explain honestly, "The admiral's room is in the company..."
Xia Zhi was stunned.
Then Xia Zhi scratched his chin, "Okay."
…
The next day, Luo Ran finished the final examination, brought enough medicine, and went back to the company.
Back in the familiar office, Luo Ran glanced at the coat hanging on the office chair.
Although the master has been away for a long time, after all, it is clothes that have been worn for a long time, and still carry a little pheromone.
Luo Ran lay down on Lucas' bed with his coat in his arms.
Really comfortable.
Luo Ran wrapped herself in a coat and buried herself in the bed that Lucas had used for several years, and the residual tobacco smell was indistinguishable.
Luo Ran looked at the dense wisteria flowers in the window and began to think wildly.
In his mind at this moment, Lucas found him at the entrance of the cave.
After many years, I can't remember clearly, only the vague outline and the very good-looking impression.
That was the first person he saw after he lost contact with the outside world.
Does Lucas remember
Luo Ran suddenly remembered what the eldest prince accidentally mentioned at the banquet. At that time, he applied for Lucas's secretary, and he was competing with people from the Royal Academy, but he was finally hired.
Could it be...
Luo Ran thought about it, and he felt more and more uncomfortable when he was moving his thoughts. Luo Ran swallowed a mouthful of medicine and fell asleep in a daze.
…
Comfortable.
Luo Ran slept from the afternoon to the second half of the night, and woke up comfortably.
The smell of tobacco was very strong, and he felt that he was hugged gently, warm and comfortable, and the dull pain in his brain was relieved a lot.
Luo Ran opened her eyes and saw Lucas' tough facial features.
"Well… "
Loran stretched out his hand to Lucas in a daze.
Lucas took it.
Lorraine blinked.
dreaming...
Luo Ran grinned, pinched Lucas's face and said, "Hold tighter."
"Okay." Lucas nodded, really hugging.
Loran fell asleep on Lucas's arm again.
Lucas looked at Luo Ran steadily, and said in a low voice, "Silly Ran Ran."
After the battle finally came to an end, he tried his best to rush back as fast as he could.
Then as soon as he came back, he saw Luo Ran wrapping himself up in his coat, curled up in his bed and slumbering.
This was something Lucas had never seen before, and it was impossible for Luo Ran to be so dependent in front of him.
He hugged him.
Then Luo Ran woke up and reached out to him, just like in the cave many years ago.
"Good night." Lucas hugged the person and released his pheromone gently.
