Life in the collapsed world from scratch

"..."

Although Cecilia said it very simply, Xier could imagine what a tragic battle it was just based on these few words.

She couldn't help but think back to the people she saw after coming to this base. There were only a few dozen or hundreds of people, even if she added some people she hadn't seen yet, the number probably wouldn't exceed a thousand.

Xier remembered that her brother once mentioned to her that the maintenance and support of civilization requires a sufficient population. When the population of a civilization drops to a certain level, it is not enough to pass on a complete civilization. This civilization can be declared functionally extinct.

With the remaining thousands of people alone, the human beings in this world have to be careful about maintaining their own race, let alone rebuilding human civilization.

In other words, as sister Cecilia said, the human civilization in this world has indeed been completely destroyed by the collapse.

"Is it the Herrscher of the Last Yan?" Xi'er couldn't help asking.

Perhaps due to the influence brought by Cheng Xi, in the impression of the girl, Herrschers are actually not scary, maybe they are indeed very powerful, but under the protection of people like their brother, they still have a lot to do if they want to reach the point of destroying the world. Far from enough.

In her opinion, only the legendary Final Herrscher can do such a thing.

However, what Xier didn't expect was that Cecilia shook her head and denied her guess.

"It's a pity that the human beings in this world couldn't last until that time." A bitter smile appeared on her face: "The one who destroyed this world is every Herrscher from the first Herrscher to the present."

"The First Herrscher?" Seele couldn't help but recall the Uncle Walter she had seen before, who seemed to be in poor health.

Although it might not be polite to Uncle Walter to say so, Seele felt that compared to his intelligence and will, his ability in combat was not very outstanding.

Moreover, as the first Herrscher to appear on the scene, the upper limit of the Houkai ability determines how strong he is unlikely to be.It's hard for Xi'er to imagine how much trouble such a First Herrscher can cause to humans in this world.

"But what if the one chosen by Honkai to be the First Herrscher is that Princess Nancy?" Facing the girl's doubts, Cecilia asked.

"...Huh?" Xi'er was stunned, the answer was somewhat different from what she expected.

It's just that the title "Princess Nancy" may be unfamiliar to many people, but her full name, "Nancy Thomas Alva Edison", is basically a household name in this world.

Although she knew that the historical development trajectory between the two parallel worlds might be different, Xier was still full of surprise when she heard that the first Herrscher in this world was actually Princess Nancy.

"In order to fight against the threat she brought, the destiny of this world mobilized most of its forces, and in the end, at the cost of most of the North American branch, it barely wiped out her just after she was born."

Without taking care of the surprise in the girl's heart, Cecilia continued:

"Next, Dr. Planck the Second Herrscher, her appearance completely destroyed the entire North American branch of Mandate of Heaven, and most of America was reduced to scorched earth. Until the big blockade, there was still chaotic Houkai energy and space distortion. the resulting turbulence."

.. ...... 0

"Then Dr. Tesla, the third Herrscher, after successfully eliminating her, more than 80.00% of the electrical appliances in the world were completely scrapped, most industries and agriculture were paralyzed, and only a small number of surviving industries and handicrafts Struggling. After that, humanity passed through a dark time for nearly a decade."

"After finally recovering, the Fourth Herrscher attacked again..."

Hearing these familiar names, Xier gradually put away her initial doubts. Instead, she began to admire the human beings in this world. It is amazing that they can persist until now in the face of enemies of this level.

"...The Ninth Herrscher destroyed the last resistance force of mankind, and the birth of the Tenth Herrscher caused irreparable contradictions within us, and we can no longer organize it, even if it is only a spiritual resistance force."

"And in the end, it was she who completely cut off the hope of the continuation of human civilization and brought the destruction of the human beings in this world called the end."

Cecilia raised her head, looked out the window at the weird sky covered in golden graphics and said slowly:

"No.11 Herrscher——The Herrscher of Restraint." Death.

Chapter 290 Sorry, I don't intend to continue this scene

Cheng Xi has always felt that he is a person who is out of high...ah no, low taste.For things like falling in love, he prefers the feeling that it will happen naturally, and he will not deliberately pursue something, so he seldom thinks about the day when he will get married in the future.

He also never thought that his marriage partner would be Teresa.

"I always feel that the disaster of three years in prison is getting closer and closer..." Cheng Xi whispered.

What if it is not only three years, but the death penalty starts directly?Do you still want to resist?

He began to think about the serious question of how many rounds of bullets his current body could withstand.

"What are you mumbling about?" Theresa asked, looking at him suspiciously.

Today's girl "Twenty Seven Zero" is also well-dressed. She is wearing an elegant and lovely tube top skirt. Her slender, snow-white calves are exposed outside the skirt. With the black leather shoes, she looks extraordinarily white and tender.

Her snow-white long hair was not tied into a ponytail as before, but was loosely placed behind her shoulders, matching her delicate and lovely face, no matter how cute she looked, she looked like a doll, not so delicate as a real person.

Obviously, the girl spent a lot of energy on dressing up for today's affairs, but compared with her, Cheng Xi's dress seemed much more casual, not much different from the past.

In fact, Cheng Xi didn't know that apart from wearing formal clothes, there was nothing more serious about boys' dressing. Didn't they just find a piece of clothing and put it on their head?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, have you brought your account book?" Teresa asked.

Cheng Xi nodded.

It's quite strange to say it, since he didn't even have an official household registration in the original world, but after coming here, he actually has his own household registration book... although he is the only one on it.

"Where's the driver's license? Have you got it?"

Teresa was like a worrying parent, chattering to confirm whether Cheng Xi had left anything behind.

"I've never had that kind of thing." Cheng Xi replied.

Let alone the car, he even drives the plane without a license. When did you see him take the test?

"If not, an ID card will do."

In the Far East, a driver's license is a more common form of identification than an ID card, and Cheng Xi is roughly used to this kind of thing.

"Yes yes yes..." he nodded.

"Why do you feel listless on such an important day?"

Teresa complained to him, came up and straightened his collar while saying, "Really, cheer up."

Although it seemed easy to say it, it could be seen from her trembling eyelashes and slightly pursed lips that she was actually a little nervous now.

"By the way, it might be a little cold outside this morning. I'll help you find a coat."

With that said, she turned her head, came to the closet and opened the door to search for it.

Sorry, I really can't do things like cheer up.

Looking at the girl standing in front of the closet in distress, thinking about which coat is more suitable, Cheng Xi thought to herself.

He turned his head and looked out the window.

Under the blue sky, the morning sunlight passes through the gaps between the tall buildings and reflects on the streets where people come and go.

From his perspective, he could see children driving to school on the opposite street, bicycles riding fast, people looking eagerly at the bus stop, and young people in suits hurrying on their way...

The city is bustling, busy, full of vigor and vitality, and people are full of hope for the future.

But unfortunately, he does not belong to this city, nor does he belong to this world.

and so……

"It's almost time for me to go back?"

He turned his head, looked at the girl and said.

"Eh?"

Teresa froze for a moment, then tilted her head in doubt: "Go back...Aren't you planning to go out?"

"You know I don't mean that."

While talking, Cheng Xi came to the balcony, opened the glass door of the balcony, looked at the blue and clear sky outside and said...

"This world is false, and this city is also false. Although I don't know what your purpose is for keeping me here, it's good for both of you and me to end this meaningless farce earlier, isn't it?"

"Or, do you think it is very interesting to live in false words and smiles every day in the future? Restrain Miss Lawer?"

"Restrainer... what are you talking about?" Teresa smiled reluctantly, but soon, seeing the expression on Cheng Xi's face, her smile gradually disappeared, and she lowered her head slowly.

"...Please, can you not say this today?" There was a hint of pleading in her slightly trembling voice.

"Sorry, there are still people waiting for me outside."

Cheng Xi walked slowly to the edge of the balcony, turned her head to look at the girl, and said, "So, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you in this scene anymore."

As he said that, he leaned his body back hard, and still passed his body over the guardrail, and fell straight down.

A strong sense of weightlessness struck, and the sound of whistling wind kept blowing past his ears. If nothing unexpected happened, his body would be accelerated by the acceleration of gravity to a speed of 5.5 to nearly 40 meters per second in four seconds, and then he fell heavily fall to the ground.

Although Herrscher's physique is very strong, he is not immortal. If he is weak and suffers heavy injuries, he will also fall into the crisis of dying.As far as his current physical condition is concerned, if he falls to the ground at such a speed, the final result will be a serious injury even if he does not die.

Therefore, Cheng Xi was betting, betting on his own life.

He was waiting for that voice from memory to appear...

"Crash--!"

The sound of the chains colliding came from a distance, and the golden chains fell from the sky, intertwining into a golden net in the air, firmly catching his falling body.

Seeing these golden chains appear, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had won his bet.

Chapter 290 IX Will Never Let You Go

Ever since he came to this world, Cheng Xi has been troubled by various questions, the most critical of which are the three questions:

Where is this place?

Who is that girl who looks like Theresa?

And, why does she have such special feelings for herself?

During this period of more than a week, Cheng Xisiu listed all possible answers, but these answers either have too many loopholes, or make things extremely complicated, and a lot of conditions that are difficult to falsify must be assumed to make it reasonable.

According to the principle of Occam's razor, Cheng Xi eliminated all these overly complicated assumptions, and finally left a relatively simple and basically self-consistent guess, which was the previous "parallel world Cheng Xi" hypothesis.

But later, the appearance of Sirin's voice completely negated his guess, making him realize that the body he is using now is not "Cheng Xi from the parallel world", but "the original Cheng Xi".

There was no other way, Cheng Xi could only overturn all previous guesses, and make a new assumption on the basis of "his body is still the original Cheng Xi".

The first thing to solve is where is the problem.

As I said before, there are not many ways to restrict the current Cheng Xi. After counting, there are only the Moonlight Throne and the anti-Honkai barrier like the divine barrier.

And there are even fewer who can limit the Houkai energy in his body for a long time, or even prevent him from sensing the existence of the core of the Herrscher in his body. Cheng Xi doesn't think he can be so lucky that he can meet two at once while sleeping.

In other words, there is a great possibility that I am still in the world that was shrouded in the anti-Honkai barrier that I saw before.
