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

Ying suddenly woke up: "Feng?! Feng, what's wrong with you?!"

Kevin, who came rushing over and saw this, didn't bother to ask Ying what was going on. He picked up Zhu Yufeng and carried him to Mobius' laboratory. Ying looked down at the black box in her hand and immediately followed.

"Mei! Are you listening?" Kevin turned on his intercom. "Feng is in trouble! I'm taking him to Mebius's lab now. Have you finished your business?"

Mei, who was on the other end of the intercom, was listening to others report on the damage caused by the Twelfth Herrscher incident. All human settlements were destroyed, but before that, Zhu Yufeng seemed to have been prepared and selected 100,000 human elites into the underground shelter of the Fire Moth.

Mei calmly assessed the situation and finally concluded that humanity had not yet completely failed and these 100,000 people would carry humanity's last hope.

However, Kevin's tone was more emotional than before, which meant that Zhu Yufeng's current situation was probably very grim. He was the strongest fusion warrior, and he could not afford to make any mistakes, whether from an emotional or rational perspective...

Thinking of this, Mei said to another person: "I already know the general situation. You will be responsible for comforting the remaining humans. I will go and confirm another more priority matter first."

The person she named nodded and indicated that he would complete the task.

Mei then made some other simple arrangements and rushed to Mobius' laboratory without stopping. She knew that there was the most complete information and related facilities about fusion warriors in Fire Moth. Mobius had always been Zhu Yufeng's collaborator, so there would be no problem for Kevin to take him to Mobius.

After walking a few steps, Mei's heart suddenly ached violently. She had to stop, grit her teeth, press her chest, take a few breaths and rest.

"Sure enough, is this body almost reaching its limit?" Mei smiled helplessly in her heart. She was responsible for almost all of Fire Moth's affairs after the Tenth Herrscher incident, and her act of wearing the Blank Key during the Tenth Herrscher incident also greatly damaged her body.

She knew very well that the excessive Honkai energy had corroded and exhausted her body, and that her body was no longer able to recover. The reason she was still standing was because of the effect of the drug that Mebius and she had jointly researched...

After a short rest, Mei walked towards Mebius' laboratory again as if nothing had happened.

She doesn't have much time left, but Kevin still has a lot of time. She must think of a way to let Kevin find his own path when she is not around. It is true that Su is Kevin's best friend, but if Kevin becomes stubborn, Su may not be able to stop him. Therefore, Feng must not be in trouble...

The distance from the command room to Mobius' laboratory was not far. This was a special arrangement when she took over the leadership of the Fire Moths. It was to conceal her almost collapsed body, to facilitate timely communication with Mobius, or to be prepared if something happened to her suddenly.

However, Mei could only walk slowly for this short distance, as her body did not support her running.

When they were about to reach Mobius' laboratory, Mei ran into Alicia who seemed to be rushing over. The first thing Alicia said when she saw her was: "Mei, how is Feng now? I heard from Ying that he was in trouble!"

Mei estimated the time it took her to get here after receiving Kevin's message. She remembered that when the Twelfth Herrscher incident broke out, she arranged for Alicia to suppress the large number of Honkai beasts that invaded the Fire Moth base. After the Twelfth Herrscher was sealed, the invading Honkai beasts had not been completely eliminated. Alicia obviously would not leave them alone. In other words, Alicia got here as quickly as possible after receiving the news?

"I just arrived too, so I don't know the details yet." Mei pushed up her glasses and said, "But when Kevin informed me, his voice was unusually..."

Before he could finish, Alicia hurriedly walked into Mobius' laboratory. Mei was stunned for a moment. She had never seen Alicia like this before. It seemed that Feng's status in her heart was probably very high. But... Feng might find it really difficult to forgive Alicia for that incident, otherwise she would not have refused to see Alicia until now.

After sighing softly, May also walked into Mebius' laboratory.

As soon as she entered, she heard the sound of Mebius throwing something heavily to the ground: "Honkai interference bomb... they really dared... they actually used Honkai interference bombs!"

Can Honkai interfere with bombs?

Mei was stunned when she heard the term, and then her expression became very solemn. She knew this weapon. It was developed jointly by her, Mobius and Velvet. It was originally intended to suppress Qianjie who might go berserk from time to time. Later, it was discovered that it had special attack effects on fusion warriors, especially for fusion warriors like Kevin and Feng who were carrying out the Chimera Project. The Honkai energy interference bomb could make the super-mutation factors in their bodies repel each other, and finally cause the collapse of the body.

But that is also based on the situation that the Honkai energy interference bomb can hit and enter their bodies, and didn’t she order this thing to be destroyed?

Someone secretly hid the Honkai interference bomb...

She should have thought of this earlier. After the Tenth Herrscher incident, trust between people was almost broken. There were already many people who were hostile to Fusion Warriors. She didn't expect that it would happen at this time...

"Honkai energy interference bomb? What is that?" Kevin was a little confused, but looking at Mobius's angry and obviously flustered expression, he understood that this matter seemed to be very tricky.

He looked down at Zhu Yufeng, who was lying in the middle of a pile of instruments with many tubes inserted into his body. The other party's hands no longer looked like human hands, and were constantly changing. He saw the characteristics of various emperor-level or end-of-law-level collapse beasts that had been killed by him or Zhu Yufeng before appear and disappear one by one.

Mebius gave Kevin a fierce look and continued to debug the instrument.

Kevin had no choice but to look to Mei for an answer. Mei was silent for a moment, then said, "In simple terms, this weapon is specifically designed for fusion warriors. It can suppress or even destroy your ability to control Honkai energy, and... make the super-mutation factors in your bodies repel each other."

Kevin and Ying's pupils shrank, and Alicia asked anxiously, "What was the final result?"

Mei whispered: ""It's the collapse of the body..."

"But I remember that this thing was destroyed a long time ago?" Weiwei's voice rang out.

"It's my fault." Mei decided to take the blame.

With a loud bang, Qianjie kicked the door of the laboratory open: "How is that guy? Is he still alive?"

"That's enough!" Mebius suddenly became furious, "Qianjie, if you can't speak, then shut up!"

“Huh?” Qianjie walked up to Mebius and was about to say something when a chill came from behind him, followed by Kevin’s voice: “The situation is very urgent now. You’d better calm down, Qianjie.”

Mebius looked at everyone present coldly, and then said: "Except Mei and Wei Wei, everyone else, get out!"

"I..." Alicia wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and walked out first. Ying glanced at Zhu Yufeng and followed Alicia out. Kevin looked at Qianjie, and Qianjie looked at Zhu Yufeng. After a moment of silence, he snorted coldly and walked out as well. Kevin followed closely behind.

The four people stood outside the door that had been kicked in by Qianjie. Although they could see what was happening inside, they all tacitly chose not to look and chose to remain silent.

Other heroes also arrived one after another after that. Seeing this situation, they all chose to stand outside the door together and remain silent.

After a tormenting period of time, Mei walked out. Everyone looked at her. Mei first glanced into the laboratory, then said solemnly: "The situation is temporarily stable. At least Feng's physical collapse has been curbed, but... we are not sure what will happen next."

"What... does this mean?" Alicia asked first.

"Feng's health is worse than I thought. No, it's worse than I could ever imagine. Judging from the data, his body is already riddled with holes. It's a miracle that he can stand in front of you. This is not something that happened overnight. It's more like... the accumulation of side effects brought about by various super-mutation factors. The Honkai interference bomb is just a trigger that caused everything to start to fail." Mei sighed and said, "Mobius knows this better than I do, so the treatment from now on will still be based on Mobius. Without considering waking up, Feng's chance of survival is no more than 1%."

"That means even if Brother Yufeng can survive, he may not wake up?" Paduo asked.

Mei just looked at the situation in the laboratory without saying anything.

"Accumulated side effects?" Alicia was stunned, then said in confusion, "But... Feng has never shown any side effects?"

"You should ask Mebius about the specific situation. I indeed didn't see any report about Feng's side effects. The only explanation is that Mebius deliberately concealed it all." Mei said.

As soon as the voice fell, Mebius came out of the laboratory with a gloomy face. She glanced at everyone present, and her eyes softened when they fell on Gretsch. She said in a gentle voice: "Gretsch, why are you here too?"

"Kosmo said something happened to Brother Yufeng, so I came here." Grayxiu said, "Brother Yufeng, will he leave like Dad and the others?"

Mobius glanced at Kosmo, who lowered his head and said nothing. Gresh then explained, "This is not Kosmo's fault. I asked for this."

"It's okay, Yufeng won't leave. Okay, Grayshu, let's talk about adults. Go paint first. Maybe when you finish, Yufeng will wake up." Mebius said gently, then looked at Aponia, "Take her to the studio, Aponia."

Kosmo seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally sighed and chose to remain silent. Aponia was silent for a moment, then walked up to Gresh and held out her hand: "Let's go, Gresh."

Gresh nodded obediently, took Aponia's hand obediently, and walked with her.

After watching Grayshu disappear from sight for a long time, Alicia finally spoke: "So, Mebius, about Kaede's side effects..."

"Heh..." Mebius sneered first, her gloomy eyes passed over everyone present one by one, and then she said as if mocking: "Side effects? So you still remember that the super transformation surgery had side effects at the beginning. I thought that if Feng didn't tell you, you would never know it."

"What the hell do you want to say!" Qianjie's hot temper would not tolerate Mobius's sarcasm. If Kevin and Alicia were not here, and if someone lying in the laboratory did not need Mobius, he would definitely punch Mobius and make him regress a year.

"What do I want to say? What on earth are you doing?!" Mebius' tone began to become sharp, "You first, Kevin!"

Kevin was stunned. Why was he the first one to be bombarded this time?

However, as Feng's best friend, he didn't even know that Feng had side effects... Well, it was indeed his dereliction of duty.

"You are the leader of the so-called Fourteen Heroes. You are the hero that everyone expects, but what did you do in the end? Where were you when the Twelfth Herrscher incident broke out? What were you doing? You were being a hero, destroying the Honkai beasts and saving humanity, right? You did a good job, saving everyone except Yu Feng."

Kevin remained silent. He was indeed clearing out the Honkai beasts that had invaded the Fire Moth, and he trusted Zhu Yufeng enough to handle the matter... But now Mobius was obviously angry, and he was indeed in the wrong in this matter, so he chose to remain silent.

Mebius went on to say, "Don't you want to know about his side effects? Well, I tell you, he is constantly suffering from the pain of being burned by flames from the inside out! After he underwent the super transformation surgery, it has been there! How could he not have side effects? What do you think of him? At the beginning, his resistance to Honkai energy was not even as good as Kevin's. Even Kevin has side effects, so why doesn't he?! You haven't thought about it, and you're right... Because this guy doesn't say it, and he doesn't show it, so you don't think so at all."

Ai Lixia's pupils shrank. She remembered that time when she saw Zhu Yufeng after the operation. He had a blank expression on his face and joked with her that his side effect was that he forgot how to laugh... If this was his side effect at that time, then he was...

"Every night that is ordinary for you is a sleepless night for him... Originally, I developed the corresponding medicine to suppress it, but the side effect continued to intensify as he continued to fuse Honkai beasts. After the incident of the eleventh Herrscher... the medicine has completely failed him. Since then, he has not had a single day of rest!" Mobius looked at Alicia, "And you, Alicia... the cause of all this is you!"

"I..." Alicia wanted to say something, but... the tragedy of the restraint and the annihilation of the fallen angels could indeed be said to be caused by her...

"He joined the Fire Moths because of you, and became a Fusion Warrior because of you. In the end, it was you who almost made him lose everything." Mobius glanced at the others and paused before speaking feebly, "He has always been like this. He has been fighting desperately for humanity. In order to save civilization from sinking, he has shouldered everything he shouldn't have shouldered. But...what did he get in return? What did he gain? Suspicion, slander, and now the attempt to kill him. How has he ever let down humanity? What has he done wrong?"

"Then why doesn't he say it?" Kevin couldn't help but say.

Aren't they friends? Why did he have to hide this from everyone? At least tell him, is there anything that brothers can't share?

"Because he thinks it's not important, because he doesn't care!" Mobius said mockingly, "He said you are the chosen hero, and there is no need to bother with such things for him. He thinks that compared to the survival of mankind, it is better to spend more time on researching Honkai than to spend time solving its side effects! Yeah... I actually... believed his nonsense..."

“Hahaha…hahahahahahaha…” Qianjie suddenly laughed wildly, “Not bad, not bad! I’ll settle the score with this guy when he wakes up! Before that, those scum…finally proved to me that they…are worthy of being…crushed into ashes by me!”

Having said that, Qianjie drove the Collapse and rushed out.

"Not good! Go stop Qianjie, Kevin!" Dr. Mei's expression changed. She looked at Kevin, but Kevin just stood at the door of the laboratory without any movement.

"Dr. Mei...what hope is there that he can be cured?" Sakura asked.

"Alas..." Dr. Mei sighed, "To be honest, Feng's condition is very bad now. He has forcibly integrated the super-mutation factors of almost all the emperor-level and above Honkai beasts, and the Honkai energy interference bomb has broken the balance in his body. I'm afraid..."

She did not continue.

Ying closed her eyes and said, "He never fought back. After being attacked, he still persisted and brought Ling back with me..."

Then, she took a deep breath, put on the mask of the poisonous pupa, and left. No one knew what she was going to do, or perhaps everyone knew it.

Mei was a little worried. She looked at Alicia, who was standing at the door, staring at the situation inside. She whispered, "I don't know. I don't know any of these things... I was watching him the whole time... but in the end, I still didn't know anything..."

Well, I can't count on Alicia anymore.

Mei could only look at Su. Su sighed softly, nodded at Mei, and said, "I'll contact Aponya. Hua, you can come too."

Hua, who had been silent and invisible, nodded and left with Su.

"Yes, why..." Paduo whispered, "Brother Yufeng doesn't owe the world anything, why would he end up like this..."

Kosmo glanced at Mobius, and after a long silence he only said: "...I will go and stop Qianjie."

After that, he left.

At this moment, in Zhu Yufeng's consciousness space.

Lilith stood opposite him.

They were talking about everything Zhu Yufeng had experienced in his life so far.

"Are you satisfied with this ending?" Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng with empty eyes and said, "You could have killed those people, but you chose to take the Honkai interference bomb head-on."

"The child... is the treasure of this world. Although I am not a good person, but..." Zhu Yufeng smiled bitterly, "At that time, I suddenly wanted to try to protect her yearning for a better world."

"But in fact, she finally despaired of the world because of your injury." Lily said bluntly, "And you are the mastermind behind all this."

Zhu Yufeng was silent for a long while before he said self-deprecatingly: "So I am also deceiving myself... It's really strange. I had thought it through at the beginning, but in the end I regretted it... Maybe I am really tired and want to let go of everything and sleep forever."

"Don't you think the reasons you've been fighting for are ridiculous?" Lilith said, "You're not from this world, you don't owe this world anything, but in the end you still risked everything for this."

Zhu Yufeng continued to remain silent.

"I know that it was for Ai Lishia and to change the ending of the Thirteen Heroes, but have you ever thought about yourself? You could obviously find a way to live to the next era, then get to know Kiana and the others, and live a comfortable life with your identity as a pioneer and time traveler, but in the end you still chose this path to death." Lilith continued.

"I never regret it." Zhu Yufeng finally spoke, "Besides, I also believe that there must be a reason why I came to this world and appeared in this era... Since I am here, I have to do something, right?"

"Heh...you think you're a hero?"

"I am not, and never have been." Zhu Yufeng denied, "I am not interested in the survival of this world, but they should have had a better life."

"What about you? Have you ever thought about yourself?"

Zhu Yufeng closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "I did think about it, but soon I found it was meaningless. Because I met Nahaima, I also saw the extravagance of this world, but after the initial interest disappeared, everything was boring. After all, I am not from this world. At this point, all I have left is obsession."

"Boring," Lilith commented.

"Actually, I also have something to say to you. It wasn't until you left that I figured it out." Zhu Yufeng finally laughed, "Although you always wanted to kill me at the beginning, but... I still want to say that I have never regretted meeting you."

Lilith was startled.

This space of consciousness began to break apart.

"It seems that I am about to wake up." Zhu Yufeng looked up, "We...should see each other soon...Forget it, it's better not to meet each other. Don't run into me in the next life."

Lilith looked at him in silence until the world collapsed.

Zhu Yufeng opened his eyes and saw Mobius, who looked tired but with undisguised surprise in his eyes. He looked at the ceiling of the laboratory again.

Did he really have feelings for Lilith? Otherwise, why would he dream about Lilith?

That was definitely not the real Lilith. He had never told anyone that he was a time traveler.

"Do you know you almost died?!" Mebius scolded.

"Yeah." He nodded calmly, "At least it's okay as long as I'm still alive."

The corner of Mebius' eye twitched, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and said nothing.

In Zhu Yufeng's consciousness space.

"If I hadn't helped you and suppressed these super mutation factors, you would have been reincarnated with me long ago, and Mebius wouldn't have had a chance to save you." Lilith muttered to herself as she casually smashed a Honkai beast. "Ah, reincarnation together doesn't seem to be a bad idea... Never mind, it's only a matter of time anyway..."

Mobius Extra: Before the Ascension to the Gods

Zhu Yufeng lay quietly among a pile of instruments, watching Mobius collecting various data. He did not speak, just quietly waiting for the results.
