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

"But this doesn't change the fact that the first aspect you mentioned is the main reason, right?" Mebius continued.

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

How should he answer this?

Mebius didn't continue the topic. She didn't want to make things difficult for herself, so she asked again, "Now besides us, what do you think of Lilith and the others? Lilith can understand it, at least she still has her memories. What about Xila, Rovko and the others?"

"To me, they are like you in the past." Zhu Yufeng spread his hands, "I will protect them, too, although... this may sound a little too arrogant."

In other words, Alicia's advantage is not that great now, right? Mebius thought of Lilith's completely unreasonable behavior again, and cast a thoughtful look on Zhu Yufeng's lips.

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

Why did he feel that something was wrong again?

"Your resistance to fate has almost ended in failure, so why are you still persisting?" Mebius asked.

"Because I succeeded before." Zhu Yufeng said as a matter of course, "Originally, Ying would have sacrificed herself in the Twelfth Herrscher incident and become the first Hero to die in battle, but I saved her. Within five minutes of the battle with the End, two Heroes would have died. After the Moonlight Throne was scrapped, Velvet would also meet her end. Grayshu, who was originally going to board the Ark, probably died later because the most suitable Kosmo survived, so Kosmo was the one who boarded the Ark in the end, right?"

Mebius nodded and said, "So, in the original story, Kosmo was going to die on the Moon?"

"Graysh had already boarded the Ark and set off at that time." Zhu Yufeng said, "Fortunately, I still have some reputation, and I was able to force the Ark plan to be postponed... At least, Cosmo has more experience than Graysh, and he will be prepared to deal with emergencies."

"Did something happen to Grayshu?" Mebius' eyes narrowed. A critical situation? Something must have happened!

"The Ark has lost contact." Zhu Yufeng sighed. "Of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire, only Su, Hua, and Kevin survived. Su died the first of the three because of the Hengsha Project."

Zhu Yufeng then remembered something and looked at Mobius strangely. He didn't know what happened to Mobius in the end. Theoretically, he should be dead...

"Then did I fail in the last thing I did with Prometheus?" Mebius murmured.

"I don't know. That story is not mine. It's another unfinished story." Zhu Yufeng said bluntly, "I only know that you went to find Prometheus in the end and gave up your physical survival. I don't know what happened after that."

"It seems that you don't know everything." Mobius smiled lightly.

"I am also a human being." Zhu Yufeng smiled helplessly, "At best, I am just a person who knows a little more..."

"You said that the story you knew was called 'The Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes'. If it weren't for you, the Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes would probably have been built around Alicia. In the story of the Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes, this woman would naturally be at the center." Mobius sighed softly.

"As expected, he is Mobius, one of the smartest people in the world." Zhu Yufeng tried to praise.

Mobius's eyes twitched again. Could this guy really praise someone? Was this what he meant?

Even if the fact is indeed like this...but can you praise people a little more and not be so matter-of-fact? Forget it, if he is not so honest, he is not Zhu Yufeng, and he will not get my attention.

Although his honesty can be really irritating sometimes.

"Now that I have said everything I want to say, do you have any other questions? If not, I will leave..." Zhu Yufeng said as he prepared to get up. He did not forget those dangerous remarks made by Mobius at the beginning. Now it seemed that Mobius had forgotten his original purpose...

"Hmph, the original problem hasn't been solved yet, where do you want to go?" Mobius sneered, "Are you going to find Alicia, or talk to Lilith?"

"That must be training." Zhu Yufeng said.

However, as Kevin said, it is not impossible for me to have more fun. If he has time, maybe I can ask him to play basketball...

This idiot is really good at playing basketball. He and Kosmo together couldn't beat Kevin.

Mebius stood up. Because she was holding a stun gun in her hand, Zhu Yufeng had to be on guard and stood up as well.

Mobius approached Zhu Yufeng. Zhu Yufeng backed away while being on guard against the electric shock device. Mobius said with an inexplicable smile: "I have listened to you for so long, but the only thing I haven't heard is your plan for yourself."

"I certainly won't have any plans before I fulfill my wish." Zhu Yufeng tried to explain.

"Yeah, you came into this world on your own, saved us self-righteously, and then left us behind with satisfaction?" Mobius pushed Zhu Yufeng to the wall.

Zhu Yufeng: "...Do you believe me when I say I didn't come here on my own initiative? And I really don't have a way to go back!"

He just took a nap, and then came back. He didn't even know how he got here, so how could he know how to go back? And what does it mean to abandon?!

"Although I'm glad that you're willing to confess all this, we still have to solve the most fundamental problem." Mebius raised the hand holding the stun gun.

Zhu Yufeng quickly grasped the wrist of that hand and said, "There is an old saying in Shenzhou: A forced melon is not sweet."

"How can you tell without trying?" Mobius chuckled.

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

He... was heartbroken...

Forget it, with Kevin's 50,000 years as a cushion, it doesn't seem so heartbreaking...

I didn't expect to use the leave request so early this month...

The recent updates are indeed a bit late. I need to adjust my schedule and rearrange my time. After all, this month is the exam month, and the courses scheduled later are either a full day of experiments or a full day of internships. I am tired just looking at them. The most important thing is that I have not posted any more (comments have always produced talents)...

The post and comment area is a channel for the author to communicate with the readers. Sometimes when I find a bug in my writing, I have to rely on readers to point it out.

But I definitely won’t run away, although it seems that this sentence doesn’t seem to have any effect in the pigeon nest…

Chapter 116: If Forceful Advancement Fails, Settle for the Next Best Option

"According to common sense, if a girl takes the initiative to throw herself at you, most people would not refuse her, right?" Mobius said close to Zhu Yufeng, "Or do you think I'm not pretty enough compared to Alicia?"

"According to common sense, generally no girl would be so proactive, right?" Zhu Yufeng quickly interjected.

Mebius was silent for a moment. Well, fortunately, he was classified as a girl in Zhu Yufeng's eyes. It was really annoying that Hen would hint at his age from time to time... Then she said, "Lilith? Or Alicia? Although Alicia may not be as open as Lilith, when it comes to taking the initiative, which one of them would not do the same?"

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

The problem is, these two people cannot be judged by common sense.

Especially Lilith.

"Generally speaking, people of your age usually have fantasies about this kind of thing, right?" Mebius said with his eyes half closed. "Although your mental age is older than your physical age, the secretion of hormones will still affect some of your mental activities and physiological behaviors, right?"

"I don't deny that when I first came to this world and hadn't been hit hard by reality, I did think about it... But thinking is one thing, doing is another." Zhu Yufeng continued, "I am even more curious, why do I have to do this?"

Rather than saying that he has the desire but not the courage, it’s better to say that he still can’t accept it…

"If it's you, I don't care about this kind of thing." Mobius moved a little further away from Zhu Yufeng, "Because I still think that compared to children born naturally, those who are actively selected artificially will be better. They will not have genetic defects and will inherit the excellent genes of the previous generation. But on the other hand, as I said before, if a child is not born naturally, you probably won't have much affection for him, right?"

Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment, and then said, "Indeed, because there can be as many children born in this way as you want, although they are naturally excellent, I really don't have much affection for them. Children born naturally have experienced their mother's ten months of pregnancy, and the father, as a companion, will also spend this time together. From a rational point of view, this way of reproduction will make the mother lose her ability to work for a period of time, and it will also bring many problems. Compared with artificially synthesized children, natural birth is inefficient and more risky. But everything cannot be judged from a rational point of view. The story experienced together is more important than the direct result."

"So, Kevin thought the same thing at that time?" Mebius recalled the last time he saw Kevin before his rebirth. "He didn't have much affection for his and Mei's child. The only affection he had was his remembrance of Mei."

Obviously, Kevin's genes were used for the eyes, because Mei was born with severe myopia, which was a disadvantage compared to Kevin's genes. However, the moment Kevin picked up the child, he said that the child's eyes were like Mei's.

This is genetically impossible, and there is only one reason for it: Kevin is just remembering his deceased lover through this child.

"I will never make a final judgment before all this becomes a reality." Zhu Yufeng said, "But Kevin...he has always been like this, hasn't he?"

I had asked Kevin a similar question before the Final Battle. Because May had created the child without telling Kevin, and let him exist as Kevin's connection with the human world, Kevin didn't know about it until the end.

Kevin responded at the time: "After all, I can't even hug Mei now. If Mei really wants to do that, I will certainly fulfill my duties as a father."

To highlight the key points, Mei intends to do so.

In other words, Kevin is not incapable of being a good father, provided that May is still around.

"I've changed a lot from my last life." Zhu Yufeng looked at the experimental box behind Mebius and said, "After all, fusing with Honkai beasts will have a certain impact on people's psychology, right? In my last life, when I was in the late stage of fighting Honkai, I never had such big emotional fluctuations as I do now, even though I still have memories of that time in my last life."

"Heh..." Mobius smiled softly, "How can you step onto the ladder to God without paying a price? Speaking of this price, your identity as an outsider gives me a reasonable explanation for your physique."

Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment and said, "Is it about my constitution that will be more resistant to Honkai energy after I fuse with a Honkai beast?"

"Yes, this is also the basis of the Ascension Plan." Mobius looked at Zhu Yufeng. "In the last life, I studied your body thoroughly, but from the data, you are not much different from us, except for this characteristic... Now, you are reborn as a natural Herrscher. In addition to verifying the success of the Ascension Plan, it may also mean that you are different from the past you."

"Are you saying that I have officially become a citizen of this world?" Zhu Yufeng opened his right hand, and the golden energy of collapse gathered in his hand. He squeezed it lightly, and the energy of collapse turned into light particles and dissipated.

"Since you said that, doesn't it mean that I really can't go back? Then why should I..." Zhu Yufeng's eyes fell on the stun gun in Mobius's right hand. He had been controlling Mobius's right hand with his left hand. Although Mobius didn't use too much force after his right hand was clamped by himself, the snake would always launch an attack inadvertently.

"In the end, these are just speculations. Even if you officially become an individual of this world, what does it matter? You can come here even though you are not an individual of this world. Who can guarantee that you can't go back?" Mobius also looked at the stun gun in his hand. "It's just an extra layer of insurance. For me, it doesn't matter."

Zhu Yufeng was silent for a while before he said, "Actually, I've thought about this before. If you knew that I knew about Klein a long time ago, and I still chose to go to Africa, would you scold me and say you didn't want to see me again, just like when I told you the truth about Klein's death?"

No matter what, there will always be a gap, right?

"Indeed, but now... you and Klein are both indispensable to me. I don't care about your final choice, but I can't tolerate your leaving." Mobius said softly, "Regarding the possibility you mentioned, if you told me this after the Tenth Herrscher incident, I might not forgive you. But just like you and Alicia have resolved the gap now, you are willing to open your heart to her and start over. Isn't there a reason why the other fallen angels are still alive at this time?"

Zhu Yufeng thought about it and it made sense.

"I feel the same way. Klein is still alive, so there is not much meaning in pursuing things that only exist in memory. I understand your choice, but understanding is one thing, and accepting or not is another." Mobius said, looking into Zhu Yufeng's eyes.

At that time, she felt helpless and desperate. Even when she was blamed and her research was constantly frustrated, she had never felt that way because she didn't care about other people's opinions. But after Klein's death, those emotions that had never appeared before almost overwhelmed her.

Danzhu and Cangxuan had always disagreed with her ideas. Even after Klein's death, they stayed in her laboratory for a while. However, that was not out of their understanding of her, but the pity she least needed.

The world is vast, but I can no longer find the only person who understands me...

And he appeared at this time, he accepted all the negative emotions she vented to him, without saying a word, and quietly accepted her sadness.

By the way, when she got tired of scolding, he asked her if she wanted to drink some water to relax, and then asked him if he wanted to make an armed doll with Klein's thinking module.

What answered him was a test tube that he threw out.

This silly way of comforting people can really easily cause high blood pressure.

She originally thought that Klein was the only person who understood her, but as they spent time together afterwards, she discovered that she had another person who understood her.

"If you had told me all this at that time...if you believed it, I would indeed hate you, but I would also love you at the same time." Mebius continued, "I would hate you for not telling me earlier. I would love you because I know that my hatred for you is illogical, because I can't deny all the past relationships between you and me because of this one incident. So, the way we get along in the future will probably be similar to the way you and Alicia got along in the end."

"Really..." Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment, then corrected himself, "But I never hated Alicia... During that time, I just..."

"This is an analogy!" Mebius said speechlessly, "You just need to know that this will be the result in the end."

"Oh."

Mobius felt that his right wrist was still being clamped tightly by Zhu Yufeng. It seemed that this guy was really resistant to this matter. However, it was not a big problem. He could just settle for the second best. When people are faced with two choices that they are not willing to face, they often or inevitably choose the relatively lighter one.

Mobius thought so, then took another step forward and kissed Zhu Yufeng on the lips.

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

All attention is on the electric shock device...

First it was Lilith, then Alicia, then Velvet, and now there's Mobius... He's almost used to it...

It really wasn't good to continue being so passive, right? He had always been passive in kissing, and had been using playing badly to numb himself, but he would eventually have to face the feelings he owed.

After a long time, their lips parted. Mobius took a step back. Although his face was a little red, he still looked at Zhu Yufeng with empty eyes and said, "By the way, can you let go of the hand that has been holding my wrist?"

This guy never relaxes when kissing! How defensive he must be!

If he relaxes a bit, he can succeed...

Zhu Yufeng also looked at Mebius with empty eyes and said, "Of course there is no problem with letting go, but can you explain to me, from the time I grabbed your hand until now, how many times have you tried to use force to test whether I have relaxed?"

Mebius: "..."

He discovered it...

Mebius sighed and said, "Alright, anyway, I only need to achieve one of my two goals this time. Don't worry, I won't do anything tricky this time."

Zhu Yufeng thought about it and loosened his hand. Mebius also put away the stun gun as agreed. He glanced at his slightly red wrist and his eyes twitched.

Can't this idiot be a little gentler? !

Mebius sat back in his chair and said slowly, "I see you don't mind kissing... Tell me, how many times have you kissed Lilith?"

There is no doubt that Lilith must have raised Zhu Yufeng's threshold for kissing.

"Basically, it will happen at least once whenever she sees me." Zhu Yufeng recalled those scenes and said with a look of despair, "Even if Alicia is right next to me."

Mebius: "..."

She kisses at least once every time they meet. She's really worthy of being Lilith... Wait, is Alicia also like this with Yu Feng?

Mebius asked with a strange look on his face: "Then Alicia...didn't she have any reaction?"

After all, Alicia loves Yu Feng. When she wanted to hide this fact from Yu Feng and everyone remembered it, Alicia was even willing to take the risk of the same ending as in the previous life and confessed to Yu Feng. She was also the first one to admit her feelings for Yu Feng.

Shouldn't she have said nothing?

Zhu Yufeng felt even more hopeless: "Of course she reacted. She wiped my mouth first, and then she kissed Lilith back no matter how many times she kissed me."

Mebius: "..."

Very good, this is very Alicia.
