The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

Chapter 80 Memories of the Past

After dinner, Mebius still had experiments to do, so he left first. Weiwei wanted to go with Zhu Yufeng and the others, but her damn observation period had not yet passed, and the time to come out was almost up, so she had to give up.

After Mebius and Wei Wei left, Hua stood up and said goodbye. Zhu Yufeng tried to persuade him to stay: "Hua, why don't you come with us?"

"No need, I've always been like this... I'm used to it." Hua said softly, "It's actually okay to be alone. It can also give me more time to temper my swordsmanship."

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

Although Hua, you are right to think so... and then compare yourself to him, Hua seems to be more diligent than himself, who thinks that his only goal is to fight against Honkai? It's really embarrassing, giving him the illusion that he is trying to lead a good student astray.

Hua can't keep treating herself as an invisible person like this, but bringing Hua to play games with them is really... really embarrassing...

It is necessary to increase the intensity of tomorrow's training.

Desdobia looked at Hua with some confusion and said, "Kenshin? What is that? Is it some kind of Shenzhou secret martial arts?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Desdobia and explained, "You can think of it that way. I've been learning this with Hua recently."

"Wow, that sounds cool. Can I learn it together?" Desdobia said as she glanced at Kosmo.

(Kenshin? Could it be the product of the 'Divine Sound' experiment that Hua and Mei did before? I remember that it was to help ordinary people improve their ability to accommodate and utilize Honkai energy, and it was a variant of the Fusion Warrior Plan... If I start learning now, the side effects of fusing with Vishnu later should be smaller.)

Kosmo thought about this and said, "...Let me join in, too."

Hua naturally would not refuse. She had thought that other people would not be interested in this. After all, in the future, Kosmo's strength would be much stronger than hers, and he would not need to use the Taixu sword energy.

As for Desdobia... Hua turned his gaze to Zhu Yufeng, and Zhu Yufeng nodded.

If it's just Desdobia, there shouldn't be any problem. As long as something like Taixu Sword Qi is not promoted on a large scale, it won't be noticed by the people above and cause a lot of trouble.

"Then come and study together tomorrow. I'll leave first today." Hua said and prepared to leave.

At this time, Alicia spoke up: "Oh, Hua, you are just too serious. Relax a little and smile more, okay?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Alicia. He had heard this before... At that time, he had just finished the operation and went to Australia with Kevin to fight against the Seventh Herrscher. Kevin killed the Seventh Herrscher alone, while he crushed the Seventh Herrscher's companion, Surya. Kevin fell into autism because of the Seventh Herrscher's smile before his death, and he was suffering from purgatory-like pain and couldn't sleep well. In order to help Kevin out of the predicament, Alicia organized a special birthday party for Kevin. It was at that time that Alicia personally found him and handed him the invitation. Seeing that he had a stern face, she also asked him to smile more.

Alicia placed her fingers on both sides of her mouth, gently lifted them up, and made a smiling gesture to Hua. Hua was stunned for a moment, then said: "Thank you for your advice, Alicia, I... will try it."

"Oh, yes, it is necessary to combine work and rest~" Alicia said with a smile, "Don't always handle so many things by yourself, you should relax with everyone occasionally. We are companions, aren't we?"

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

Although these words were not spoken to him, why did he feel that Alicia was poking him intentionally or unintentionally?

As Alicia spoke, the smile on her face faded, and then she said in a slightly more serious tone: "Besides, defeating Honkai is not something you can achieve by working hard here alone, right? What's more, we still have a lot of time, and pushing ourselves too hard may not be a good thing. Pay more attention to your surroundings and spend every day seriously with your important people. Isn't that the most important thing?"

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

It's confirmed, Alicia is taking the opportunity to educate Hua and poke him as well!

"But... I know only a limited amount of things." Hua hesitated, "I don't understand a lot of the things you're talking about."

"If you don't understand, you can learn~" Alicia stretched out her hand to Hua, "Just consider it as fulfilling one of my requests, okay, Hua?"

Hua thought for a moment and said, "Well... okay, as long as it doesn't cause any trouble for everyone..."

What Alicia said made sense. In theory, it was necessary to relax occasionally, but since she had almost no interests, she didn't have any good way to relax. If she had to say, practicing boxing could be considered a way to relax? And meditation could also be considered a way to relax, right?

Is your way of relaxing different from that of normal people?

"It's okay. We won't find it a problem." Ying said. If there were more people, there would be fewer opportunities for Alicia and Feng to be alone together... It was really strange. She had agreed to Alicia's request because she was afraid of being alone with Feng. But now...

Is this the kind of feeling that is meant by “like”?

Ying looked at Paduo and the others again and said, "If you guys are willing to come, I wouldn't mind."

"Thank you very much, Sister Ying!" Paduo was just worrying about asking like this.

Destobia glanced at Kosmo, who was silent for a moment and then said, "... count me... and Destobia as well."

Zhu Yufeng glanced sideways. Great, Kosmo, you finally figured it out? Congratulations, congratulations. Next, as long as Desdobia doesn't...

"I didn't..." Desdobia spoke reflexively.

At this moment, the expressions of Zhu Yufeng, Alicia, and Pado all became very subtle, and Ying had already raised her hand to support her forehead.

Desdobia realized something was wrong just after she said a few words. Amo had finally opened his mouth to say this. If she continued to hesitate, not only would it be counterproductive, but she would also be actively drawing a galaxy between herself and Amo!

So she immediately changed her words: "I didn't say I wouldn't go. I'll just thank you, Ah Mo, for speaking up for me."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately...

Kosmo didn't notice the changes in everyone's expressions. His attention was all on Desdobia. He had just thought about how he should respond if Desdobia said something to control him. He didn't want to be controlled by his senior sister like this all the time. After all, he was actually older than Desdobia.

Since Desdobia has also made a concession, let it be.

This can be considered as a start to re-establish an opportunity for the two people to communicate.

The group arrived at the family area of ​​the Fire Moth headquarters and followed Sakura to the door of her and Ling's home.

"There's not much at home. You might be disappointed, Alicia." Sakura looked at Alicia and said.

"Oh, it's okay, Sakura~ Why would I care about these things?" Alicia shrugged and said, "At most I can bring you some more cute decorations next time I come~"

Zhu Yufeng looked around and thought about it. In fact, Ying had a hard time too. Not only did she have to train with them every day, but she also had to send Ling to school in the morning and pick her up from home in the evening.

The training ground is quite far from the family area. After all, some things need to be kept confidential, so it is natural that the training ground is far away from the family area. They all come here by bus.

When I walked into Sakura and Ling's home, I found that it was not much different from what I saw in my previous life, simple but warm.

Speaking of simplicity, the first people that come to Zhu Yufeng's mind are Nahaima and Eden, two guys who have nothing to do with simplicity. Needless to say, Eden is a world-renowned artist and a wealthy man named [Golden].

As for Naheima, he was one of the thirteen fallen angels and knew Eden. Before the flames of the Seventh Herrscher swept across Australia, Naheima's family had always been the most powerful and richest family in Australia. He could be said to be a nobleman who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth...

It was Nahemma who invited Eden to his last public concert in Australia.

If Eden gives people a feeling of nobility and elegance, Nahaima gives people a feeling of luxury and enjoyment... and occasional madness.

He was obviously a nobleman who was educated from childhood, but the picture after he became a fallen angel was simply unbearable to watch. A pretty boy with bare chest played finger-guessing games and drank with Beelzebub, a muscular man... Zhu Yufeng still finds that scene offensive when he thinks of it now.

Or after the mission is completed, he will go to the place where the mission was carried out to find a woman to indulge himself.

In Nahaima's own words: "Life is short, enjoy it while you can. There is no point in pursuing spiritual things. Only what you can grasp and touch in front of you is real."

To put it bluntly, this person is an extreme materialist.

Nahaima will not fall in love with any woman. To him, women are just a way for him to enjoy himself. Living a life of drunkenness and dreams is what this describes, as a scum among scums like Nahaima.

However, when he was in the team, Nahaima was quite well-behaved and reliable. As a top noble, the educational resources he received since childhood were unimaginable for ordinary people. In terms of knowledge and experience, Lilith, who also came from an aristocratic family, sometimes could not compare to Nahaima.

Nahaima is the most indifferent to the oppressive feeling of death brought by the Eleventh Ruler. He doesn't care about his own life or death. As long as he is alive, he will enjoy himself. If he dies, he will die. Anyway, he has enjoyed what he should enjoy, so it doesn't matter.

"Please forgive me for not having anything to offer you at home," said Sakura.

Zhu Yufeng came back to his senses from his memories and said with a smile: "It's okay, we are all friends, it's being too formal for you to say that."

As he said this, he took out the game cartridge he brought with him from his backpack. After returning from that vacation, he thought that if he met Ling again, and he didn't take the girl to play games, the girl would probably bear a grudge against him for a long time.

He has selected these games so that even children don't have to worry.

"Wow, there are so many games. Feng, are you also a game fan?" Alicia picked up a game cartridge and took a look. "Hmm... they are all games for all ages."

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Desdobia, who was studying another game cartridge with Padu, and said softly, "I am interested in these things, and Mostima also likes to play games and often asks me to play with him... Slowly, we became familiar with each other."

"Mostima..." Alicia smiled faintly, "Another thing I don't know. I have been watching you, but now I realize that I don't know you well enough. Fortunately, this time, we still have a lot of time, we can take it slow and get to know each other again."

Zhu Yufeng was silent. Mostima was a real homegirl hacker who hardly ever went out. It was a rare thing for you to see her. As far as he could remember, the only one among the Thirteen Heroes who had any connection with Mostima was Pado.

"Yeah, there's still a long time." He said softly.

He had been pretending to look at the game cartridge, but was actually paying attention to this side secretly. When Kosmo, who wanted to "steal skills", heard this, his eyes became more complicated.

(Alicea said that she didn’t know Feng well enough, and I also didn’t know Desdobia well enough. But the time left for Feng and Alicea was long enough, and the time left for Desdobia and me... but...)

Looking at Ling who was looking at the game cartridge with Ying, Zhu Yufeng smiled and squatted down to touch Ling's head and said: "Do you like these games? They are all for you."

Ling smiled brightly: "I like it!"

Ying frowned and said, "Feng, isn't this a little..."

"Then finish your homework for today." Zhu Yufeng also smiled happily, "Otherwise, you can only watch us play again~"

Ling's smile froze in an instant.

Ying and Alicia's eyes twitched at the same time. So... Zhu Yufeng would have such an expression?

Ying had never seen Zhu Yufeng with this kind of expression before. In her impression, this expression of satisfaction had nothing to do with Zhu Yufeng.

Alicia had never seen this expression before, but this smile reminded her of the time when Zhu Yufeng was still in her team, when he had also laughed so sincerely.

Not a gentle smile, but a hearty laugh.

That’s a good thing, isn’t it?

Hua, who had been acting as a transparent person, saw Zhu Yufeng's expression, then stretched out two fingers and imitated Alicia to give himself a physical smile.

"When did I forget how to smile? How to laugh from the bottom of my heart?" Hua asked himself.

"Brother Yufeng, you're so bad!" Ling said while jumping up and down.

Then he took out his homework book from his small schoolbag with a wronged look.

Seeing her sister looking aggrieved, Ying felt a little guilty and looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "How about letting Ling play for a while?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Zhu Yufeng shrugged and said, "Besides, you can play more peacefully after finishing your homework, right?"

Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked at the game cartridges that Zhu Yufeng brought: "Then leave these games with me...if Ling wants to play..."

"Then let her play." Zhu Yufeng said, "Ying, you have to believe Ling, she has strong self-control. You see, I asked her to finish her homework before playing games. Although she felt wronged, it was because I teased her, not because she was unwilling."

Ying was silent, and suddenly felt that this was not her sister anymore.

Chapter 81: Talking and Knowing Each Other

As the night deepened, Zhu Yufeng and others waved goodbye to Ying who was standing at the entrance to the family quarters and boarded the return bus.

Pado and Desdobia sat together discussing the game they played today. Hua sat quietly in his seat with his eyes closed. Alicia sat next to Hua typing on her phone. Kosmo sat next to Zhu Yufeng, occasionally glancing at Zhu Yufeng who was also typing, then looking at Desdobia, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Why are you looking at me? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be secretive. You can't always expect others to guess your thoughts based on your expression." Zhu Yufeng said softly while typing, "Besides, some things cannot be conveyed to the heart of the person you want to convey them to if you don't say them out loud."

"I..." Kosmo opened his mouth and glanced at Zhu Yufeng's phone screen again. Well, his phone had an anti-peep screen so he couldn't see... Anyway, Kosmo guessed that he was most likely chatting with Alicia.

(The development of the relationship between Feng and Alicia... has gradually become commonplace. Can I really communicate directly like them? I am not Feng, and Destobia is not Alicia. There is also a lifetime between Destobia and me.)

"Do you like Desdobia?" Zhu Yufeng asked suddenly.

Kosmo was stunned, caught off guard by this question. He felt his face getting hot, but he also knew that it was useless to argue. The people who were reborn with him... basically knew how he would miss Desdobia in the future. There was no need for him to say it out loud.

"If you think you don't need to speak out, you're totally wrong." Zhu Yufeng never took his eyes off the screen from beginning to end. "Some feelings need to be spoken out so that you have the courage to face them. We all know it, and you know it too, but this is not a reason for you to choose to remain silent about it."

"What about you and Alicia?" Kosmo thought that he should take back some initiative. On this point, he felt that Feng should not be in a position to educate him, right?

"Different people have different situations. Alicia and I... have already walked this path of just looking at each other once, and you have seen the result. Even now, there are still cracks. As for you and Desdobia, it's basically a question of who is willing to speak up." Zhu Yufeng said calmly, "Or are you afraid of something?"

"...Maybe." Kosmo said, "In that incident several years later, I..."

"You're afraid that when you get used to that kind of relationship, you won't be able to accept leaving, right?" Zhu Yufeng put down his phone and said to Kosmo.

Cosmo hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "...Yes."

"Then you will keep hesitating like this, and then watch the same thing happen again." Zhu Yufeng turned his gaze back to the phone screen, "Then you will regret not only that you couldn't do it, but also... that you didn't do anything."

"Why are you so sure?" Cosmo asked.

"Because there is a person who thinks so." Zhu Yufeng said, "As for my personal opinion, I think that instead of missing someone in the future, it is better to remember the memories that I once had with this person."

Kosmo was silent. Could that person be Alicia? He remembered that it was only after the incident with the 12th Herrscher in his previous life that he first knew that Alicia actually cared about Zhu Yufeng. However, at that time, Zhu Yufeng didn't want to see Alicia, and there was no possibility of any communication between the two. As for Zhu Yufeng's feelings for Alicia, he heard Mobius casually say it when he accepted Mobius's treatment for his overweight super transformation and returned to human form.

No one is a hero from the beginning, even if that person is Kevin, or Feng. Kevin has always been based on Mei's will and fought for Mei. As for Feng, he joined the Fire Moth at the beginning and became a fusion warrior, all for Alicia.

After his rebirth, Kosmo, who truly understood Alicia's feelings for Kaede, actually always had a question: since Alicia had special feelings for Kaede, why did she just watch and do nothing before the incident with the Eleventh Herrscher?

"That's all I have to say. Before you worry about my emotional problems, I think you'd better sort out your own feelings." Zhu Yufeng said with a sigh.

Kosmo didn't say anything else, and Zhu Yufeng didn't say anything else either. He just stared at the screen of his mobile phone, his fingers resting on the buttons for a long time, unable to press them.

Alicia: "Maple, I had a great time today~ (≧ω≦)"

Zhu Yufeng: "I think you are happy every day."

Alicia: "But today I am very happy, [especially]!"

Zhu Yufeng: "Then why?"
