I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 284 A Strange Sense of Responsibility

A thunderclap louder than all the previous thunderstorms combined erupted from the dark clouds, and as if in response, the ground trembled violently. The nearby mountainside could not withstand the tremor, and the entire mountain split open from bottom to top.

The sound of the stone cracking was eerily chilling, causing the animals fleeing nearby to instinctively stop in their tracks.

The crack did not stop because of the gaze of the tiny creature. Time seemed to be accelerated at this moment. It was as if in the blink of an eye, the towering mountain wall was split in two by the crack.

Not long after the sound of cracking rocks stopped, the mountain wall on the other side of the cliff fell down without warning and without surprise. Just as the rocks were about to crash down on them, the creatures that had been frozen in place finally remembered to take cover.

The sharp cry pierced the sky, and even Lezhi and his party, high in the sky, could hear it clearly.

If asked what the most relatable sounds in the world are, Lezhi would confidently answer that for him, it is undoubtedly the joy of birth and the fear of impending death.

The former fills people with hope, while the latter, at any time, is heartbreaking, even when it comes from the Zerg, whom they have always regarded as enemies, it still evokes empathy.

Faced with natural disasters, they are all so insignificant; such a tragic event could happen to any ethnic group. At such times, regardless of race or age, everyone is the same.

They are lambs to the slaughter, fish unable to breathe on the chopping block, powerless to resist, only able to wail helplessly, making their final struggles, proving in this way that they were here.

Even if it's useless, you still have to get a sterilization.

Who says lambs must be slaughtered quietly? Fish, unable to breathe, will instinctively twitch even after their heads are chopped off; these are their last stand against fate.

Doing it may not be useful, but not doing it will never lead to success.

How will you know you can't do it if you don't try?

On the way back, drawn by the screams, Lezhi's eyes flashed with bloodlust. He had no feelings for the Zerg, but he respected all life that was struggling to survive.

"Zhizhi..." "Yes, sir~"

"I'll go for a bit, you guys keep going, I'll catch up right away~"

Lezhi's answer floated in the air, successfully stopping Lei Xiu and Maoqiu from following. For some reason, even though they were extremely anxious, they instinctively chose to obey after hearing Lezhi's unconsciously commanding words.

This scene in the air happened very quickly, so quickly that when Lezhi flapped its wings and flew downwards, it still had time to use vines to bind the mountain wall that had already fallen a third of the way down.

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

Seeing that many animals were still frozen in place due to fear in the direction of the cliff, Lezhi shouted loudly. Some of them were awakened by the shout, but others just buried their heads deeper. They were too scared to make the right judgment.

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for being impolite.

With soil present, the vines grew even more rampantly. A massive number of vines sprouted from the ground with a highly targeted approach, uprooting the stunned insects from their spots. Soon, vines teeming with various insects flowed through the jungle under Lezhi's command.

Only after confirming that there was no living creature left in the area where the cliff had collapsed did the vines binding the cliff turn into specks of green light and disappear.

Without any external resistance, the mountain wall crashed down along its original trajectory with a deafening roar, reminding Lezhi of his past life when someone used bombs to demolish old buildings at specific points, making a sound just like this.

However, those were only small-scale activities within the scope of human control, and compared to the natural disaster before us, they were insignificant.

Once she was sure there were no innocent creatures around, Lezhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know when he had become so saintly. Ever since he was awakened by the Mother Tree in his birthplace, his body and soul were completely merged, and he grew wings, his sense of identification with Jormungandr has grown day by day.

Not only towards his people, but Lezhi always felt a sense of closeness to every blade of grass and tree in Jormungand, even to those insects he had never paid attention to before, as if they were all his responsibility.

"Ha, they're getting more and more audacious. And it's all my fault. I haven't even figured out my own life..." Le Zhi sighed self-deprecatingly through his nose. He saw through the vines that the rescued insects were still a little confused, but at least they knew to run for their lives. So he didn't linger and turned to catch up with the group.

In the short time he was delayed here, the group had already moved forward quite a bit. Fortunately, the group was large and its target was obvious, so Lezhi could easily keep up.

"Swish"

The fluffy ball slapped another bird or beast that had almost fallen behind back into the group, and it's hard to say whether it wasn't venting its anger.

Lezhi went to rescue the bugs by herself without taking it with her. There are too many problematic points here. Maoqiu doesn't know whether to be angry that Lezhi went to rescue the bugs or even angrier that Lezhi didn't take it with her.

This problem was really putting the little bird in a difficult position. Fluttering its wings, the furball was so angry that it even forgot about the increasingly dense thunderstorm in the sky, and even had an impulse to rush up and compete with the thunderstorm.

It wanted to see if Lezhi would come to its rescue immediately when it was in danger.

What's the point of saving those bedbugs? Let's not take them with us, let's not take them with us...

Waaaaah, does Lezhi not love it anymore?

"Furball, Resh, I'm back."

Just as Maoqiu was crying in his heart, Lezhi finally arrived. The instant he appeared, a bolt of lightning flashed nearby. Maoqiu dodged and squeezed his head, which was half the size of Lezhi's body, into Lezhi's arms, making a "woo-woo" sound from his chest, as if he was frightened.

Seeing the fluffy ball's incredibly smooth combo, Lei Xiu, who was a step too slow to meet it, glanced sideways at the green tea ball and felt a little regretful. He hadn't known it could be done like this.

Even though he knew that Maoqiu was mostly just being affectionate, Lezhi still indulged it. When Maoqiu tried to squeeze in, Lezhi would open its arms to welcome it. Not only that, he also softened his voice, speaking as if coaxing a child, "Oh dear, is our Maoqiu scared? Be good, let me pat your head. Don't be scared, it's okay. The lightning won't hit you. Even if I can't stop it, Lei Xiu is here, right~"

Lezhi gave Lei Xiu a look, intending to kill two birds with one stone and appease both of them at once.

Lei Xiu had no choice but to surrender. He replied, "Yes, with me here, none of you will be in any danger. I don't even consider this little bit of lightning a threat."

Seeing that Lei Xiu, though looking uncomfortable, still made a promise as she had suggested, Le Zhi beamed with joy. "Did you hear that? Lei Xiu is the most reliable, so Mao Qiu doesn't need to be afraid. Even the baby birds aren't afraid."

From the moment Lezhi intervened to quell the commotion in the team to later rescuing the bugs, the fledgling remained obediently in the package without uttering a word, acting strangely like a puppet, without causing Lezhi any trouble.

It seems that even the youngest members of their family are reliable in crucial moments.

Wait a minute, is she really that well-behaved? Could she have been frightened?

Thinking of this possibility, Lezhi, Maoqiu, and Leixiu all turned their gazes toward Lezhi's chest. Upon hearing Lezhi mention itself, the fledgling immediately poked its head out of its burrow, its bright eyes scanning its parents.

"Chirp chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"

The cheerful tone dispelled Lezhi and the others' concerns. Well, it seems the fledgling is really carefree and doesn't seem scared at all!

congratulations!
