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

Ying came back to her senses from her thoughts and answered, "Ah, she has been living well in the Fire Moth headquarters recently, except that she is still a little upset about you not taking her with you to play games last time."

"Then I'll take her out to play this time." Zhu Yufeng shrugged.

"By the way, Feng, how did you get to know Ling?" Ying remembered something that puzzled her but she never had the chance to ask. "Ling said that once when she was bullied by several other children in the Fire Moth Base, you stood up to help her out, but... you are not the kind of person who cares about strangers, right?"

Because she is your sister.

Zhu Yufeng wanted to say this, but finally gave up. He also began to recall some of his memories related to Ling, and then said: "That's because of you. When I saw her hair and eyes at that time, I remembered that you had a sister. After all, I am somewhat familiar with you, so I thought of helping you by the way. It's not a big deal anyway."

"Is it... because of me?" Sakura was a little surprised. "But didn't we officially meet during the Ninth Herrscher incident?"

"Oh, that's how it is for you." Zhu Yufeng replied, "Do you remember Kevin's first birthday after he became a fusion warrior? At that time, Kevin was still suffering from the depression caused by the Seventh Herrscher incident and had not yet completely recovered. Alicia sent an invitation to all fusion warriors, asking us to celebrate his birthday together. It was at that time that I paid attention to everyone present."

After a while, he added: "At that time, I may still have some feelings for Alicia, so... I would pay attention to most of the people she cared about and was close to."

"Is that so..." Ying seemed to be thinking about something. She still remembered Kevin's birthday, but she thought that just as she didn't pay much attention to Feng at that time, Feng didn't pay attention to her either. After all, Feng was standing in a relatively marginal area at that time and didn't say much, so it was difficult to notice what he was doing.

Ying then thought of the side effects Zhu Yufeng had suffered from the surgery. According to Mobius, he had been suffering from that kind of pain since the surgery, and as he fused more and more Honkai beasts, the side effects became more and more severe.

Obviously, he should have received care from others at that time, but he chose to hide it. Sakura didn't know why or for what reason he kept pretending like nothing had happened?

She didn't know about other people, but when Mobius exposed this matter, the person who was most devastated was actually Alicia.

At that time, Alicia... must have also thought of the birthday party she organized for Kevin, right?

He encouraged his friend to get out of trouble, but he didn't realize that the person he liked was in purgatory.

What's even more outrageous is that the friend is now constantly trying to put pressure on her.

Ying began to feel that if Alicia didn't take this opportunity to beat Kevin up today, she would be letting herself down.

"I remember Ling should be studying inside the Fire Moth now, right? Do you want me to go with you to pick her up?" Zhu Yufeng said again. It was just to pick up one person, so he was going to do it anyway, so why bother about what others said.

"Ah, this... uh, no need, just come to the family area when the time comes." Ying said. She began to fear that if she and Feng spent more time together, she would become dependent on each other and become anxious and worried.

"It's up to you." Zhu Yufeng replied.

On the other side, the battle on Kosmo's side was also over. Because Zhu Yufeng had reminded him, Zhu Yufeng was careless, but Kosmo was not. He had always been in a state of mutual restraint with Hua. Finally, when Pado appeared and prepared to sandwich Hua together, Kosmo decisively made the choice he made during the Fourth Herrscher incident.

Blow up!

Directly drag Hua and Paduo out together.

Kevin's situation was a bit miserable. Alysia was more flexible than him, and it was difficult for him to touch Alysia, while Alysia was able to hit him. As a result, he was beaten up by Alysia and was eliminated.

Chapter 72 Kevin and Paddo's Thoughts

There was basically nothing much to say about the next group confrontation, or it should be said that there was no suspense. When arranging the tactics, Alicia chose to beat Kevin again. Kosmo was taken down by Zhu Yufeng and Pado. This time he didn't even have the chance to perform a self-destruct attack. On the other side, the result of the battle between Hua and Ying surprised Zhu Yufeng a little.

According to Zhu Yufeng's speculation, although Hua is now a first-class fighter in terms of skills, her physical fitness cannot keep up with the skills she mastered before, so her performance is also limited. Ying has been a killer for a long time. Although her physical fitness is still not as good as when she was a fusion warrior, she is still stronger than ordinary soldiers, not to mention that Ying's swordsmanship is at a top-notch level.

But in fact, Hua was able to fight back and forth with Ying. Although he was suppressed by Ying throughout the whole process, Ying was still unable to break through Hua's defense.

You have to know that the reason why Zhu Yufeng was able to defeat Ying in the last battle was because Ying was careless and he took unexpected attack measures, which enabled him to defeat Ying. Otherwise, he would still have been beaten in the end.

After Kosmo was eliminated first, Zhu Yufeng and Paduo immediately went to support Ying. After fighting with Hua, they said in surprise: "Hua, have you mastered the Taixu Sword Qi?"

No wonder Kosmo blew himself up without even thinking about it. It turned out that he had also discovered this and knew that his chances of winning were slim.

Hua nodded and said, "But this is just the beginning. After all, I have only just started practicing this way."

Suddenly I felt like a sucker.

"After this group confrontation is over, you will also teach me how to use Taixu Sword Qi." Zhu Yufeng said.

In his previous life, he had no chance to practice at all. When Hua mastered the Taixu Sword Qi, it was already the time of the Eleventh Ruler event. At that time, he was not suitable for learning Taixu Sword Qi in any aspect.

The basis for learning Taixu Sword Qi is to keep the mind as calm as water. However, at that time, he first experienced the tragedy of the annihilation of the fallen angels, and then the irrepressible side effects brought about by the forced fusion of all the fallen angels. This made him completely unable to calm down, and naturally he could not even get started.

"Well, okay." Hua replied.

With the addition of Zhu Yufeng and Pado, Hua naturally couldn't fight three alone. What's more, Zhu Yufeng didn't intend to stick to any martial ethics and directly gave Hua a "Red Kite Immortal, I didn't lie."

With a "bang", the times have changed.

After the confrontation, Alicia said proudly: "Did you see that, Feng? I am stronger than Kevin~"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin who was in deep thought, and said to Alysia: "I'll go talk to Kevin. Some things can only be known after talking."

Alicia hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Then... can you tell me the final answer?"

"If you want to know." Zhu Yufeng said, "After all, personally, I think I should have nothing to hide from you."

If ever Alicia suspected that he was not from this world, he would choose to admit it frankly, but if Alicia didn't ask, he could also keep it to himself, right?

Alicia waved to Zhu Yufeng and watched him walk towards Kevin, inevitably recalling some things from the past.

She once thought that she had lost everything, and that she could only look at Feng like this for the rest of her life, but... fortunately, now she and Feng are finally close again, even closer than in the previous life.

Although... it is now more difficult to shorten this distance than it was then.

"Sister Ellie..." Padu said with her hands on her hips, looking at Ellie, "I have something to tell you too."

Alicia came back from her thoughts and looked at Paddo: "What's wrong Phyllis? Is there a problem?"

Padu looked at Alicia, and her expression became a little hesitant again. Alicia saw this and said, "It's okay, you can ask me anything. After all, I will never refuse to answer questions from a cute girl like you."

Padu bit her lip, then asked with determination: "Sister Ai Li... What I want to know is... um, how did you and Brother Yufeng establish your current relationship?"

How did you establish this current relationship?

Alicia was stunned, then asked Paddo: "Why do you want to know the answer to this question?"

Padu looked away and said unnaturally: "Sister Ellie... my next words may make you sad. Can I... really say it?"

"Of course, Phyllis has always been a good child, and I believe you have no ill intentions." Alicia reached out and touched Pado's head and said.

So Paduo took a deep breath and said, "I know. Sister Xila told me that she heard from Sister Lilith that Brother Yufeng had confessed to you, Sister Ai Li, but you rejected him."

I didn't refuse? I just... need some time to seriously consider the answer to this question. Alicia wanted to say this, but she gave up in the end.

She already knew what the situation was like. Feng had known about her identity as a Herrscher for a long time, so he "figured it out" afterwards and felt that he would not fall in love with him. So when he told Lilith about this, it was not impossible that he would convey a rejection.

"Yeah...for various reasons, I 'rejected' him." Alicia said.

"Then, it's my own observation." Paduo lowered his head and said, "I joined the Fire Moth very late and got to know Brother Yufeng. At that time, I often chatted with Sister Xila and went to buy some goods with Sister Mostima... In short, I spent a lot of time with Brother Yufeng, but I only saw you talking to Brother Yufeng a few times, and the content was similar to when you talked to other people..."

Alicia: "..."

Anyway, she didn't want this to happen.

Pado joined the Fire Moth during the Tenth Herrscher incident. During that time, Zhu Yufeng first led the Fallen Angel Team to Africa to suppress the rebels, and then returned to the Fire Moth base and had very little communication with her.

Zhu Yufeng's birthday party was never organized by her. The team building he would attend was for the Fallen Angels. Moreover, she had misunderstood the relationship between Zhu Yufeng and Lilith at that time. In addition, she had already vaguely discovered some of her feelings for Zhu Yufeng. She felt that some things could not be said, so...

Not to mention the tragedy of the restraint. She wanted to talk to Zhu Yufeng, but he didn't even come to see her until the "Last Banquet".

qaq

Pado found that Alicia's expression became a little hard to describe, as if she was sad, or helpless, in short... it was hard to describe.

She paused, then mustered up the courage to continue asking, "So I want to know, how did the relationship between you and Brother Yufeng become so close now?"

She was really envious, envious of the relationship between Alicia and Zhu Yufeng that was almost like that of lovers.

"Maybe... it's because some misunderstandings between us have been resolved." Alicia thought for a moment and said, "After all, we were once very close to each other. Although we became distant unknowingly due to various reasons, fortunately, in a sense, neither he nor I have changed. So, we made an agreement, and the final answer to this agreement may not be known until a long time later."

She will definitely save Feng.

Will.

"Is that so..." Padu thought, "You two are not lovers now, right?"

Alicia looked at Padu with empty eyes: "Phyllis...you, you know that your current thoughts will put Feng in jail, right?"

You are not yet an adult!

Paduo also looked at Ailixia with empty eyes: "Sister Aili, aren't you and Brother Yufeng both underage?"

"But Feng and I both became adults this year. If we round it up, doesn't that mean we're all adults? You still have to wait a few more years, right?"

"Uh... rounding off... rounding off, I'm twenty years old."

"Phyllis... that's not how you round your age off..."

Ying, who had been listening silently at the side, also thought about it. It was true that she was an adult now... but she was only about one year older than Feng, so... the gap shouldn't be that big, right?

Hua also looked at Alicia and Padua in silence. She remembered that Feng was very popular within the Fire Moth. After all, as the leader of the Fallen Angels at that time, his prestige was not inferior to Kevin. She had even seen her teammates arguing about who between Kevin and Feng was more suitable to be a boyfriend.

But I didn’t expect... It’s okay that Pado likes Feng, but how come even Alicia likes Feng?

She doesn't quite understand.

On the other side, Zhu Yufeng came to Kevin, and Kosmo was also there. They reviewed the situation in the previous group confrontation.

"Kevin, Kosmo." Zhu Yufeng said, "What do you two think about this group competition?"

"I can't see how it has anything to do with cooperation." Kevin said, "Basically, everyone is on their own. As expected, if there is one more person, it will always have a greater impact."

"That's right." Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin with empty eyes and said, "But rather than reviewing the two battles, I want to know why you are so persistent in asking me to find Lilith, or in other words, why are you trying every possible way to keep Alicia and me at a distance?"

Kevin was silent for a moment, then said, "Have you never loved Lilith?"

Zhu Yufeng was silent. How should he answer this?

The only person he had ever loved was Alicia, although his current impression of Alicia remained at "like", which should be the same as Lilith.

Kevin continued, "It's hard to imagine how you two could have such a tacit understanding if you had never loved Lilith."

"We are in sync with each other... To be honest, it's because I trust Lilith enough, and Lilith is the one who understands me and my thoughts." Zhu Yufeng said, "In other words, she is cooperating with me. Kevin, sometimes, trust and love are two different things."

"I agree." Kosmo said, "Feng is right. In the cooperation between him and Lilith, he has always been the dominant one."

Kevin thought for a moment, then said, "Is it possible that you have been together for so long that you have become accustomed to each other's existence that you have not noticed your own feelings?"

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

You know me better than I do, right? Or do you know Lilith better than I do?

Kevin added: "After the tragedy of the restraints, didn't you also spend a night alone with Lilith and the others?"

"Then I'll just be with the others..."

"You held Lilith's hand all night long."

"..."

Kevin looked at Alicia and Padu who were looking at each other with empty eyes: "I'm not saying that I'm against you and Alicia, but have you really made your choice? No matter how close your relationship with Alicia is now, there is a limit after all. It can't be compared with the interaction between you and Lilith that I've seen."

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

Lilith can act so recklessly because I can't defend myself against her at all...so I just let her do what she wants.

Okay, I have to admit that what you said makes sense.

Lilith is indeed more special to him. Because for him, both Kevin and Alicia are characters he saw in the plot that have come true. He sometimes feels a little alienated, but Lilith is not a character in the plot, so she can change from an NPC at the beginning to a flesh-and-blood person he really knows.

But this should not be a reason to judge his feelings so hastily.

Zhu Yufeng also looked at Alicia and Padu: "Kevin, I know what you are thinking now. Lilith is indeed special to me, but so is Alicia. I once confessed to her, and that was my only confession..."

Kosmo showed a hint of surprise: "... Feng, have you confessed to Alicia?"

Zhu Yufeng smiled bitterly and said, "I misunderstood her meaning. She said she needed time to think seriously, but I thought it meant rejection... So I let go of this relationship and never fell in love with anyone again. To be honest, if there hadn't been the tragedy of restraint, I might have really chosen Lilith, but... there is no if for what has already happened."

"I know you two are like this now probably because you had a good talk." Kevin said, "I also know how Alicia feels about you. Will she accept the many choices you made? If she was with you during the suppression of the rebels, would she agree with your choice? And we will have to face the Ruler of Constraint again later. If this time the plan is still only the two from the last life, will she agree?"

"She won't." Zhu Yufeng said calmly, "Because she is Alicia, so she would rather sacrifice herself to protect mankind. But Lilith will, because she has never cared about the survival of mankind, she just cares... for me."

"That's why I hope you can choose Lilith." Kevin said, "There is always a conflict between you and Alicia. Even if you don't think about it now, it will always exist."

"So we will seek coexistence in contradictions. Our choices are contradictory, but we also understand each other's choices." Zhu Yufeng said, "Kevin, I understand what you mean, and I sincerely tell you that in the future, you'd better tell me about this kind of thing in private."

He probably knew why Kevin stood with Lilith, because he saw his own shadow in Lilith. Lilith trusted him unconditionally and decided to save humanity for him, and so did Kevin.

The difference is that Kevin is a fool and Lilith is a succubus.

As for what would happen if Weili heard it later, since he was there, Weili wouldn't do anything to Kevin. Besides, eavesdropping would always come at a price, and knowing too much was not a good thing.

The price Weiwei had to pay was that she could only watch and listen. After all, if she told others, Kevin might take out the Skyfire immediately.
