Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

The spot Zero had chosen looked like a fork, but in reality, it was more like a wide, open space within a tree. The surrounding trees were lush and green, and sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows. The branches were also incredibly thick. While the trunk wasn't located high up in the tree, it was still quite high off the ground. Looking up from below, one could see nothing at all, only a few thick, spreading branches and the endless expanse of emerald green above.

After setting Li Xingchen aside, Zero nimbly leaped down. After a long moment, Li Xingchen heard a distant, loud sound, as if something heavy had fallen. Then, after a strange noise, Zero effortlessly returned, dragging two wooden planks as tall as an adult. After a brief pause, Zero descended again, dragging back several branches of varying thicknesses, and finally, several banana leaves tied to the branches.

He picked up several thick and moderately long branches and skillfully crossed and stacked them together to form a sturdy and stable rectangular frame structure. Then, he found some tough vines from the surrounding grass and carefully wrapped them around the sides of the frame, pulling them tightly to ensure that the wooden boards were firmly fixed in place.

A gap is left in the front, allowing people to freely enter and exit this temporary shelter. The back is closely attached to the tree's massive trunk, seemingly blending in with nature. This not only increases the stability of the entire structure, but also provides a degree of shade and protection from the tree.

Finally, he skillfully used the giant banana leaves, securing them at pointed angles to the top of the rectangular block, creating a simple yet practical roof. As each leaf was meticulously positioned, the crude framework gradually took on the appearance of a temporary dwelling. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, creating a subtle rustling sound that brought a touch of life and energy to the small space.

Li Xingchen watched in a daze as Zero completed these tasks. He secretly sighed in his heart, if this was a wilderness survival program, with his little brother participating, he would definitely get first or second place!

To have been able to construct a complete temporary shelter in such a short time, this young man is truly a genius! Looking at his childish appearance, he must be no more than six or seven years old. One has to admit, he seems to possess some extraordinary abilities.

Wait, Li Xingchen suddenly realized a problem, why not take him to find his parents?

Could it be that the little brother’s parents also died in this gunfight?

But the little brother doesn't look sad at all, and he is very calm...

And they've already built this satisfying temporary home. It looks quite nice! I'm sure we'll be staying here for more than just a day or two. This tree in front of us is truly awe-inspiring. Not only is it enormous, but it also exudes a mysterious aura.

Its massive size and unique structure alone make it an ideal hiding place. If a treehouse could be built on top of it and inhabited, it wouldn't be easily noticed. Perhaps even higher, for a wider view and improved safety...

Ahem, what am I thinking? Planning to be Tarzan? Ha, that's not something a little baby like me should be thinking about. But if there are no adults around, it looks like this pretty little brother will have to take care of him for the next few days...

Li Xingchen was still lost in thought when he caught sight of the young brother, who had finished everything, approaching. He gently picked him up, picked up his cradle, and walked into the newly constructed house. He was then placed to one side of the house. The young brother then bent down, picked up two banana leaves, and secured them to serve as a door curtain.

In the room, Zero and Li Xingchen looked at each other quietly.

After a while, Zero reached out and gently stroked Li Xingchen's hair, as if telling him not to worry.

Then, he took out the can of milk powder and prepared the milk powder skillfully.

Although he didn't say anything, from the various ways they spent together, Li Xingchen believed that he would take good care of him. In fact, he didn't need to take care of him for long, just wait until he grew up a little.

Li Xingchen took the bottle and started sucking it with peace of mind.

Zero sat quietly aside.

Zero was mostly silent. He hadn't figured out what kind of existence he was yet. He didn't seem to need to eat, which meant he was different from the baby.

He only knew that his name was Zero. The moment he opened his eyes, he knew his name was Zero. As for the rest, it seemed like they hadn't been set up yet, no instructions, no mission.

"Number Zero." He looked at the little thing that had finished sucking milk and pointed at his chest.

His voice is very pleasant, like the sound of a spring.

Zero? His name? How could there be such a strange name? Then he thought, I'm not worried at all that I won't understand.

Li Xingchen pouted, said "ah" twice, and replied in his heart: My name is Li Xingchen.

This means they know each other, and from now on in this strange world, they will depend on each other.

After drinking his fill, Li Xingchen fell asleep soon.

Looking at the sleeping Li Xingchen, a hint of tenderness flashed in Zero's eyes. He stood up and slowly walked out. With a leap, he tapped his feet a few times, and his small figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

His destination was the city he had seen before.

There were two reasons why he didn't choose to carry Li Xingchen directly to the city to find a place to stay:

First, he keenly sensed a strange energy fluctuation in the forest, which was vague and elusive, and difficult to detect without careful observation.

He followed the direction he sensed and eventually found the tree. Its energy fluctuations were actually very strong, but seemed to be obscured by some mysterious force, making it difficult for the outside world to detect its existence. Only by reaching out and touching the tree and carefully sensing it could one clearly feel the powerful energy.

Secondly, he didn't like noisy environments. Especially after he'd just woken from a deep sleep and witnessed the bloody scene, he'd developed an extreme aversion to chaotic, noisy, and jarring noises. For now, at least, he hated the atmosphere, and he instinctively assumed the little one wouldn't like it either. Children, besides, thrive better in a peaceful and tranquil environment.

Although this was the decision, data showed that humans were social animals. He didn't want to change the little creature's habits. He just didn't want to leave now. The energy emitted by this tree would be beneficial to the little creature's body.

He also needs time to get to know the city. If it is necessary for the little one to live in the city, he will take him to adapt to life there.
