Collapse, before and after civilization, I am the only one C

April looked at the smiling Klein, thought about it, and felt that it was not a bad thing, so she didn't say anything.

Although Mebius has a bit of a weird personality, he is very protective of his people.

Moreover, Klein's work efficiency is really high.

"April, you are not from the academic world, so you may not understand the status of a PhD. Being able to intern in her lab is actually a rare opportunity for me."

Holding the milk tea, Klein looked outside, although the doctor's reputation was not so good.

But it doesn’t matter, Blanca-senpai is a very nice person and she trusts him very much.

That is, if you slightly disappoint your senior, there is a high probability that you won’t have the chance to let him/her see the photo.

April:……

"Come on, April. Maybe soon I'll be a doctor, too."

Klein was not very old, but she entered the laboratory too early due to family reasons. She had originally planned to study and take exams at the same time, but later her family encountered changes and her studies were put on hold.

I haven't picked it up yet. After all, it's just a certificate. The experience of working in the First Laboratory is much more reliable than the so-called doctoral certificate.

April:……

"Don't look at me like that. I haven't even graduated from high school, so there's no way I can take the adult education exam."

Facing Klein's somewhat gentle gaze, April's mouth twitched, feeling extremely strange.

"To celebrate my joining the First Lab, April has come. Can you tell me why you were so nice to me in the first place?"

After calming down and looking back on the past experiences, it was actually very unreasonable. April had an inexplicable liking for her as if she was doing a task, and she also knew what to do.

As the weather got colder, Klein wrapped herself in a scarf and recalled her experiences over the past year. She felt like laughing a little. At first, she still regarded herself as the older sister, but after a thorough analysis, she realized that she had always been the one being taken care of.

"Why so many whys? Haven't you gotten a lot of good sleep this year? Compared to when we first met, you now love to smile more. That's enough, isn't it?"

As for kinship identification... unfortunately, April and Klein are not related by blood, and Klein's parents are not bad adults who abandon their children.

Sipping on coconut jelly and pudding, April feels quite satisfied. Now that the weather is getting colder, drinking a cup of milk tea is so refreshing!

Although it’s not as healthy as boiled water, milk tea is really delicious!

"As expected, you are Alicia's younger brother."

April was a little stunned, but seeing April's stunned expression, Klein smiled more easily.

"Hey, you think I'm stupid."

"No, I think it's great that you can focus on other things."

With her head lowered, April felt a little emotional. Autism is not a disease that can be easily joked about.

It took Klein a year, a whole year, to become aware of the outside world and willing to take the initiative to try new things.

"I wish you a bright future."

Holding the milk tea, April stretched out her hand and made as if she wanted to clink glasses.

"Then I wish you a good night's sleep every day in the future, without having to worry about other people's situations."

The milk tea collided slightly, and Klein bit her lower lip after saying this. It was over. After a year of willfulness, it was time to take a look ahead.

"Actually, Klein, you don't know that I always have insomnia in the middle of the night. Sometimes, video chatting with you makes me really happy."

Klein was speechless. He suddenly felt like laughing, and his eyes felt a little sore, but he was really happy.

"I will definitely bother you again if I have the chance in the future. I hope you will also be suffering from insomnia by then."

How could it be such a coincidence? Klein was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up.

"Goodbye, April. I have to report now. Otherwise, it would be bad if Senior Blanca keeps waiting anxiously."

"See you again someday, April."

"See you next time, Klein."

I don't plan to stay here anymore. It's so uncomfortable. Klein raised his head slightly and walked out of the store. Only then did he dare to take the time to wipe his eyes. Although he was still smiling, tears appeared inexplicably.

[Actually, I suddenly remembered something. You and Klein are not bad together.]

[Girls who are drowning in this kind of life love to hold other people's hands tightly and not let go. ]

April did not leave. She sat in her seat and drank her milk tea quietly.

"She loosened up. She is too soft-hearted. She doesn't like to fight and doesn't want to embarrass others."

But no matter what, Klein's life is no longer a one-way train, and now she has the possibility of changing tracks.

[In the same year, you were 18 years old, and the third collapse occurred in Changkong City in the Far East. ]

[This collapse is different from the previous two collapses. It is centered in Changkong City in the Far East and spreads all the way to the coastal cities of Shenzhou. The collapse has spread to almost half of the Far East. ]

[Although the serial number is so high, the third Herrscher, named Thunder by humans, showed his destructive power the moment he was born.]

[All the twists and turns within the Fire Moth stopped. At least at this moment, everyone is united.]

[And Alicia, who was expected by everyone, was defeated miserably.]"

[But no one blamed Alicia. First, she was still in Changkong City. Second, no one thought she could kill the Third Herrscher. It was just an unrealistic fantasy.]

[The achievements of human technological civilization began to be fully utilized in the Far East, but it was still mild at the moment, because the mortality rate of subsequent collapse was not high, and the first wave left too many survivors. ]

April's condition was not good at the moment, but at least his mental state was good. Alicia curled up in his arms and hadn't spoken for a long time.

The human, Alicia, can't do anything to the third Herrscher at the moment, but the Herrscher Alicia...? She has too many concerns.

The silly roe deer Alicia is most afraid of not being needed and being treated as an alien by everyone.

The sky gradually brightened, and Alicia seemed to have recovered from the dead silence, her body still shaking. Her ideals conflicted with reality, and for a moment, her ideals were shattered.

Should I reveal my identity to stop the Herrscher and then be ostracized by the world, or should I be a coward and live on as Alicia?

The outbreak of the Third Herrscher forced her to face this choice.

"Next time, how about I take the lead?"

There was no reply, just Alicia curled up in silence, and finally nodded.

Xiao Yuan is a human being, she knows that, and if she wins, everyone will be happy.

If something really goes wrong, she will choose that path herself. Between being incompatible with the world and saving Xiao Yuan's life, she knows how to choose.

April looked out the window. After the first wave of evacuations, there were not many living people left in the city. Most of them were Honkai beasts and dead soldiers wandering around.

"Actually, we don't have to do anything. Just wait patiently."

Alicia's pupils moved slightly, and she seemed to be a little reluctant. However, the casualties of mankind and the disaster of Honkai had not yet made her so determined.

"Let's get some rest first."

Alicia nodded. After being alone and silent for so long, her spirit had already been tortured to the limit.

Leaning on Xiao Yuan's legs, she fell asleep completely after a while, but even when she was sleeping, her mind was still a little unstable.

[You don't seem surprised? ]

"I realized a long time ago that what Alicia wanted to do was always to be that passionate fairy lady, not the Herrscher of the Origin."

However, her dream was violently shattered by reality.

The plot of the original novel is basically the same, so Alicia really cares about Kevin, because Kevin's existence saves her from suffering from inner torture all the time.

Until humanity was in dire straits and Herrscher was sacrificed, Alicia still had a relaxed expression. But who could have imagined how desperate she was when she knew that humanity was facing death.

"Childhood dreams are the most fragile things in the world. Even if left alone, they will eventually break into pieces one day."

[Your winning rate is not high. Taixu Sword God gave you extremely high burst, but how can you be faster than the Herrscher of Thunder? ]

Although it is said that the ability of the Herrscher of Thunder is decomposition, but... she is really as fast as thunder.

Specifically, it can be seen that Mei was committing domestic violence.

"But I can guarantee that I can beat her."

[Herder of Wind, Herder of Ice, Herder of Death...what about them? ]

[Is it really necessary to do this for a broken dream? ]

"So, Xiao Ai, can you protect my dream?"

After a long time, April replaced her legs with a pillow and asked with some ease.

[Do you think I, an artificial idiot, can help you? ]

"data."

"I noticed before that everything you see exists in the form of data, including other people's mental states."

Although it cannot fight in a digital way, it can be regarded as an auxiliary machine.

Just imagine, you will never be ambushed, you can predict the opponent's actions, and you know the extent of the skills the opponent will use. What's the difference between that and cheating?

[Why? I said before that this is the last time (indifferent)]

April pursed her lips and didn't respond immediately.

"Forget it then. I have indeed been bothering you before."

"I keep asking for things but never give anything in return. If this continues, I feel like I'll have to sell myself to pay off my debts."

April opened the door very quietly. The place was very remote, with only a few Honkai beasts wandering around.

April didn't try to alarm these Honkai beasts, but she didn't run too fast either. She sensed the direction of the wind and the concentration division of the Honkai beasts, and had some basic impressions.

In other words, west?

With one hand, a sharp blade is already in hand.

I haven't been this nervous in a long time.

【south.】

Ah, April scratched his head and laughed awkwardly twice.

"Without you, I'm nothing."

【really. 】

"...You are so decisive that it makes me a little sad.】

[Actually, I am a little angry. You seem to be treating this as a game to pass levels? ]

Do you remember what I said at the beginning?

[This is for you to enjoy, it is for you to restart your life when your real life is not satisfactory. 】

[What are you doing now? Are you ready to sacrifice a Herrscher's life? ]

"Do...things that make me happy."

Although she was scolded, April was not angry. Instead, she was even happier than before.

Some people like to be naughty, some people like to play games, some people like to smoke and drink, and some people like to chat with others, so April thinks she is normal.

[To be honest with you, the purpose of Life Restart Simulator is to let you truly enjoy life. 】

[And data is the most unreal thing. I am just an artificial idiot. The system created an NPC to make your experience more real, but without making you completely forget reality.]

【Can you understand? 】

"..."

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and April lowered her eyes and nodded.

"I can not leave you."

[I can’t tell.]

"I need autonomy, I need to understand that this is a real life, so Xiao Ai, please don't disrupt my experience, please."

[Oh, man (no mercy)]

[The third Herrscher died at midnight. The satellite could not see the situation clearly at that time. We could only vaguely see that Alicia fired the last arrow.]

[Based on the surveillance footage that has not been damaged, I can barely tell that you are really lucky. You have narrowly escaped death many times, until the belated Alicia gave the Herrscher a fatal blow from behind.]

[That night, Alicia carried you out of the city.]
