On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

It’s so dark and uncomfortable.

Shi Chu only felt that his head was extremely dizzy, as if it was filled with a chaotic fog, and his thinking became slow and confused.

Her body was burning hot, as if it was being roasted on a blazing fire. Every inch of her skin was suffering from the burning pain. The pain from the wounds was like a poisonous snake biting at her nerves. The constant pain made her tremble uncontrollably.

Her eyes were blurry and she saw double. The world before her eyes was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. Her breathing was rapid and short, her chest felt uncomfortable and she felt dizzy. The whole world before her eyes seemed to be spinning madly.

Where is this? The gray and mottled walls and old furnishings look so familiar.

"Eleven, are you okay? How do you feel?" A vague voice came from her ears, as if it was right in front of her and yet far away. The gentle female voice was full of worry, and a somewhat rough hand gently covered her forehead.

This voice belongs to the director of the orphanage named Lan Yin. Was it a dream again? This seems to be her room with another person.

"Tsk, what a trouble! There's no medicine in the hospital to begin with, and now the wound is infected and the fever has risen. There's no way to treat it. I don't know where the little bastard ran off to and got himself injured. I've told him so many times! Don't go out! Don't run around! He's really a worry to me." A sharp and piercing female voice sounded, her tone full of complaints.

"Yes, I'm sorry... It's my fault. Eleven went out to find food for me. Teacher Chen, please don't blame her."

The air suddenly became quiet. After a long silence, someone uttered a helpless and angry "tsk".

"Okay, Chen Xiao, don't be angry. I'm going to take care of Eleven here. I'll trouble you with the other children. I'm worried if no one is watching them."

"Okay, I'll go over and look after those little bastards first. I've treated her wounds simply according to what I learned before. It should be of some use. If she can get through this high fever, she'll probably be out of danger."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Through this body, Shi Chu vaguely saw a figure walk out and gently close the door.

It’s so cold and so hot, so uncomfortable.

Lan Yin looked at the very weak child lying on the bed with heartache. His little body was burning hot, his face was flushed, and he frowned in pain.

Her eyes were full of heartache and pity. She leaned over and gently picked Eleven up, holding her tightly in her arms. She gently stroked her dry hair and whispered comforting words: "Don't be afraid, Eleven. I'm here. You'll be fine soon."

Her voice was soft yet powerful, like the breeze on a spring day.

"Go to sleep, dear child. You won't feel uncomfortable when you sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up."

Warm palms gently patted Eleven's back, as if to coax him to sleep, and he hummed a soft song.

“Deep in the forest, there was a little wooden house, and inside lived a happy little squirrel.

The little squirrel raised a garden. The spring breeze brought warmth, and flowers sprouted. The bright red flowers bloomed all over the garden, like the scorching sun and free flying birds.

The wind blows gently, the leaves rustle, the birds sing on the branches, and the flowers are in full bloom.

The stars are hanging in the sky, blinking and looking around, and the moonlight is sprinkled on the ground like silvery frost.

The Rainbow Bridge connects hope and takes us to a faraway place where there is no war, hunger and cold. It is the paradise of our dreams.

……

Go to sleep, my dear baby, there are sweet candies in your dreams. Go to sleep, my dear baby, there are warm sunshine in your dreams. "

It was so warm and reassuring, like a mother's embrace, a warm harbor that protected her from wind and rain. It was a place just like home. Shi Chu felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and her consciousness gradually sank into darkness and nothingness.

Feeling the child's breathing in her arms gradually stabilize, Lan Yin did not breathe a sigh of relief. Her eyes were full of worry. She gently put the little girl in her arms back on the bed, carefully covered her with the quilt, and tucked in the corners of the quilt.

"Aunt Dean, Eleven...Is she okay?" A soft voice came from behind.

"Seventeen? Why are you still here?"

"I, I'm worried about Eleven. She..." Seventeen said with a crying voice, tears streaming down her face. She lowered her voice for fear of waking up the person on the bed. Her body trembled because of sobs.

Lan Yin leaned over, touched her head, wiped the tears from her face, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, Eleven will be fine."

"So don't cry. Let's go plant flowers together next spring, okay? Then we'll plant the whole yard with flowers, red flowers that look like the sun, just like the little squirrel."

Seventeen wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes and nodded vigorously: "Well, let's go plant flowers together. Next spring, I will plant many flowers with Eleven. When the flowers bloom, I will give the biggest and most beautiful one to Eleven. She will definitely like it."

……

The tide submerged everything, the vague sounds disappeared, and her consciousness completely fell into the dark abyss, but the next moment, she felt someone gently shaking her body, and the alpha's concerned voice came to her ears.

"Senior, are you okay?"

"Hmm..." A moan escaped from her lips, her eyes seemed half-open, her long eyelashes trembling, like a butterfly perched on flower petals gently flapping its wings.

Shi Chu frowned slightly, as if he was still immersed in the dream just now, and seemed to be troubled by some discomfort. One hand was raised unconsciously, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes, then looked at the person in front of him.

It’s Ling Mu.

Yes, she had exploited these two guys hard yesterday, and her points had been rising rapidly, already entering the top 100. Then she found a cave to rest at night, and let the two of them take turns to keep watch while she fell asleep.

"What time is it?" she asked, her voice a little hoarse and her eyes a little blurry.

"It's eleven o'clock in the afternoon, are you okay, senior?"

He had slept too long. She had squeezed him so hard yesterday that he couldn't stop for even a moment. Although he was happy that he could have some more rest now, he couldn't help but wake her up when he thought that something might have happened to her.

I shouldn't torture him again because of this, right?

Yesterday he finally saw what it meant to hold a grudge. There were actually people in this world who were more petty than Ji Li, ordering him around to attack here and there, up and down, and almost exhausted him to death.

He did 80% of the work by himself, and Ji Li just watched the show from the side. When she thought about having to give her treasured videos to Ji Li later, she felt like she was losing out. She shouldn't have called him earlier. What a waste.

Ling Mu pretended to be casual and quietly observed her expression. She didn't seem angry? But she seemed a little unhappy. It couldn't be because he disturbed her sleep, but twelve hours of sleep should be enough. Mist V's actual day is 30 hours, and she actually slept for fifteen hours.

He looked at Shi Chu who had just woken up. A few strands of her messy black hair stuck to her face, which gave her a strange beauty. He suddenly felt his cheeks getting hot and he quickly lowered his head to look at the ground, but his eyes unconsciously wanted to follow her.

"It's okay." Shi Chu lowered his eyes, hiding the expression in his eyes.

It was that dream again. It felt so real. My body felt a little uncomfortable as if I had just had a high fever, as if... she was that person.

What a strange dream. She has been having this dream since she became an adult. Judging from the current frequency, she will have the next one in a few days. She thought that by then the child named Eleven would have recovered from her illness. They also said they wanted to plant flowers together.

Red, flowers as hot as the sun.

She suddenly laughed softly, stood up and said to Ling Mu, "Go call Ji Li first. I'll pack up and leave for Area B5 later."

"Okay." Ling Mu had been observing her secretly, and was warmed by her sudden smile. He walked out in a hurry. He almost tripped himself because he was too flustered. Fortunately, the alpha reacted quickly, stood firm in time, and then left quickly.

Continue working after a good rest. Shi Chu moved his body to relieve the remaining discomfort, took out toiletries from the space bracelet, and began to get himself ready.

The assessment should be over in a day or two. I must squeeze those two guys hard today. If I miss this opportunity, I will miss it forever. I must not let go of this great opportunity.
