Chapter 44: A New Population

Zhang Su chops weeds with a sickle, while the bees look for wild plants that can be transplanted.

Sweat dripped down Zhang's neck and back as he worked methodically as the bees cut out the wildflowers and prepare them for transplanting.

There were many empty flower pots in the garden, and the original plants had already died, so Zhang Su dug up the dead plants and threw them away, so that the little bees could put the flowers in to raise them.

Zhang Suxin's planned garden has three areas.

There are flower pots around the "Bodhisattva Seat" stone, which are used to raise flowers and make the environment more beautiful; Orchards, herb gardens, and fruit nurseries were built next to the wells; Finally, a pond is dug up. At present, it is beginning to take shape.

Unsightly thistles, poison ivy, and overgrown bushes were cleared, and after he and the bees worked hard, the garden was transformed.

Looking at the clean and tidy gardens around him, Zhang Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The bee also looks a lot more cheerful.

"Lilies! Raspberry! The little bee squatted next to the flower pot, looked at the small flowers he had transplanted, and then pointed to a few mounds and shrubs next to it, "Kiwi seeds!" Raspberry! Mulberry! Bayberry! ”

These are the few flowers and fruits that the little bees distinguish from weeds and wildflowers, and they are the few flowers and fruits with cultivation value.

"If it were me, it would be hard to tell the difference between the flowers and fruits...... Sure enough, it's still a bee. Zhang Su looked down.

"We also need sunshine." The little bee listened to the praise and felt very comfortable.

She looked closely at the flowers she had transplanted, her fingers running over the young leaves.

"If the sun is shining, there will always be it, come with me." Zhang Su took the bee to the school building in the west.

At this time, in the open space, Natsuki squatted on the ground and had a glass bead duel with Saho, and the glass beads in his pocket were all wiped out and he couldn't defeat Saho.

"Ahh Natsuki fumbled in his pocket.

"Hmph, everything I lost, I will regain it with my own hands." Saho was satisfied. Because of the existence of heating bills, Natsuki has accumulated a pocket full of gadgets in the winter, and Saho will win with various mini-games.

"You can't live without money...... Natsuki touched his head,

"Natsuhi, come and help with the work, pay." Zhang Su waved at Xia Xi.

"Who's that?" Saho saw the little bee beside Zhang Su, "It looks like it's yellow." ”

"Director, I'm here!" Xia Xi staggered towards Zhang Su, who was particularly clingy because he was the youngest.

She jumped on Zhang Su, Zhang Su scooped her up, and Xia Xi lay in Zhang Su's arm and waved her hand at Saho.

"Ahh Saho can only be angry alone.

Zhang Su took Xia Xi to the flower bed in the garden, and Xia hoped for these plants, leaned out half of Zhang Su's big arm, and reached out to touch them.

"Little flower." Natsuki was delighted.

"The fruit pits that you have eaten in the future can be planted here, and maybe they can sprout." Zhang Su said.

"Big melon." Natsuki ate a big watermelon that day and collected a lot of seeds, and now she can grow them herself.

"What is she here for?" The bee is confused.

"Use your magic to your advantage, please." Zhang Su said.

Natsuki touched his head, then his knees, and then waved his little hands and feet.

"Sunshine!" Natsuki opened her arms

Hmmm——!

Warm sunlight radiates and shines on these plants.

As the light shines, the flowers of these plants are immediately covered with a layer of pure white brilliance, like their protective cover.

Waves of brilliant, warm sunlight shone through, and the garden was filled with joyful glow, and the air seemed to be shining.

The power of the sun caresses every low-hanging leaf and weak flower, and the plants ripple and stretch in the embrace of light, the low-hanging buds swell upward, the withered branches and leaves rejuvenate, and the colors of the flowers appear more intense.

The little bee is even more fascinated, bathed in the sun.

The sun, the great sun......

For the Swarm, the "sun" means an endless stream of light and an ideal source of energy for which they crave.

"Huhu ......" Xia Xi's magic power was tired, she put away her brilliance and smiled at Zhang Su, "I am the sun!" ”

"It's a reward for you." Jang Su gave Natsuki a 500 yen bill, "Don't be deceived by Saho. ”

"Hmm!" Natsuki folded the paper. Just tell Sister Katie about the money and what she wants, and she will say "The little kid is really troublesome", and then walk away lazily, bringing what Natsuki wants a few days later.

In high spirits, they walked back along the stone path, where the dilapidated garden was now a small attraction to visit, and in the future they could offer fruit and flowers.

Saho watched from the outside.

"Is she a prisoner?" Saho looked at the little bee's prison uniform.

"Aren't you a prisoner?" Bee looked at Saho's school uniform.

"It doesn't matter who you are." Zhang Su took them out of the garden, "As long as you are willing to make Anxin Courtyard your home." ”

The bee is allowed to visit the "insect king" Eupharaine.

Zhang Su led her into the room at the end of the first floor of the East Prison Block, where Eupharain's containment chamber was placed in the center, with steel alloy bars wrapped around the corners to prevent a breakthrough.

The specialized containment procedures here are paint that isolates mental power, and all psychic echoes are locked indoors.

The only source of light in the room was a row of circular holes in the wall, shining fragments of light on Eufarin's sleeping figure.

"Mother, I'm here!" Bee cautiously approached, trying not to make footsteps herself, and slowly walked to the side of the containment chamber, staring at her mother through the glass.

Even in a deep sleep, the magnificence of Eupharyn made the little bee awe-inspired.

Her gorgeous clothes, ornaments, and graceful appearance all aroused the love of the little bee, and Eupharien folded her hands on her chest, her belly bulging, waiting for a new life to come.

"Can I touch Lady Eupharain?" The little bee longs to touch her mother again.

"Nope." Zhang Su shook his head.

Zhang Su supervised on the side.

He saw a sad look on the little bee's face.

"Feeling sad? Why? Zhang Su asked carefully.

"Sad, because ...... Mother is the great witch, the one who gives life to everyone, and the mother of our swarm. But here she is now, in this cell, why can't humans allow bee colonies to exist? The little bee knelt on the edge of the glass box and touched the glass with her fingertips.

"People don't want to be eaten or assimilated." Zhang Su said.

"We don't understand." The little bee sighed, "We're just here to reproduce. Isn't it good for everyone to become a bee? ”

She closed her eyes, as if sharing silent sympathy. Zhang Su looked at this scene, and he didn't know if the little bee was conveying comfort to Youfarin, or if Yufalin was giving warmth to the little bee.

"It's time." Zhang Su reminded.

"Wait a little longer, I beg you." The bee prays.

"You can spend 10 minutes a day with your mother."

"Can I come tomorrow too?" The little bee reluctantly got up.

"Tomorrow." Zhang Su nodded.

"Tomorrow." The little bee waved lightly to Eufarin, and was then taken out of the cell by Zhang Su.

Rubbing her hands together, Zhang Su led her to the cell at the entrance of the first floor, making sure she was as far away as possible from Eupharain, and then sent her into the room.

The room in the cell was coated with a coating to isolate mental power, and after the little bee entered, he suddenly felt refreshed.

"It's so strange...... Xiao Bee sat on the concrete bed in the cell and looked up at Zhang Su, "I feel much more comfortable." ”

"When other prisons were in charge of you, they didn't separate you from Pheufarin like this, probably because there were too many witches in them, so they simply treated you and Phorfalin as the same kind of witch. But no, you have to be separated from her, and it's your first day out of the 'swarm'. Zhang Su said.

"Leaving the swarm? I、I feel very strange, as if I have lost my bearings. The little bee cowered.

"Adapt to your first day as an independent will." Zhang Su said.

"My mind is empty." The bee grabs the railing.

"Think about what you've done today." Zhang Su dropped a sentence and left.

The little bee lay on her back, her mind was soaked with buzzing, the call of Eupharain, and she could feel herself involuntarily every time she approached the "Worm King".

However, now, after being cut off from the physical and mental contact with Eupharain, the little bee felt relieved.

Think about what you did today. The bee closes its eyes. Her mind comes up with seeds to be sown, soil to plough, plants to take care of.

Her mind changed, she thought of the fertile earth that had been sifted through her fingers, the greenery she had sniffed in her nose, so much more to dig up, so much life to thrive.

and the feeling of loneliness and fear when he was put down into the well with vines tied to his body......

So deeply, he completely forgot about the existence of Phulfaline, and just mustered up the courage, the willpower from the bottom of his heart, to support himself to work under the dry well.

Can a little bee live on its own?

The little bee closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. In her golden dreams, she has spawned a new hive of insects on her own, with thousands of females living and hundreds of millions of tendrils populating on the earth's surface, melting away the earth and turning it into nourishment for her meal.
