I already said this is not a life simulator!

"Anyway, humans have already lost."

"Anyway, there's no way we can win."

"There's no point in continuing to live like this. It's better to die sooner rather than later."

"If everyone dies like this, maybe we can meet each other underground...if there really is such a thing as the underworld."

The man continued to mop the floor, stirring together the scattered food, sauce, dark blood and water.

"...Brother, don't be so depressed. We will survive."

"Do you believe this yourself?"

The man asked in return.

"It has come to this point, but some people still choose to cause trouble, to indulge themselves, and not care about the lives of others. People have no choice but to exhaust their energy to be hostile to each other and kill each other... One side thinks that no matter how bad the situation is, they should try their best to survive, while the other side thinks that since it has come to this, they might as well just have a good time and die directly, because they can't win anyway."

"Guided by this idea, they began to wantonly indulge themselves, squandering increasingly scarce supplies, wantonly indulging themselves, and doing everything they could to pursue pleasure... In the end, they even did not spare anything that would hurt others."

"Ah... yes, I am that kind of person too."

The man raised his head and looked at him with his eyes that were becoming increasingly cloudy and on the verge of blurring.

"So, let's just leave it at that. Let's all... die together. This way we can be happier and suffer less..."

"You're a little out of your mind, bro."

He was silent for a long time before he said this.

"I know."

The man looked at his raised hand, at the dark hole pointing at himself, and said very calmly... This is what he wanted.

"...Anyway, thank you for your hard work during this period, brother."

Immediately...

Bang!

With a dull sound and a flash of fire, the man's figure slowly fell down, knocking over the bucket, and his blood mixed with the filthy and turbid water.

"...Oh, what a hassle, one more thing to deal with."

He silently put the gun back and looked at the new body. He was silent for a long time before saying this.

He stood up, silently and slowly moved to the place where the water purification equipment was located, and then...

Sure enough, saying that the equipment was damaged was a lie.

“…Ah, I knew it.”

He was not very surprised by this. He just sighed again, started the instrument, waited silently by the side, and finally drank a glass of water happily.

"Ah... came to life."

He said this comfortably.

He lowered his head, looked at the empty cup in his hand, then looked at the pistol in his other hand. After hesitating for a moment, he put the cup down, loaded the pistol again, and pointed the gun at himself.

"........."

He pressed his finger on the trigger and closed his eyes several times, trying to forcefully pull the trigger and kill himself, but he failed in the end.

"Ah... Really, I don't know how you guys managed to reach that level."

He put the gun down as if he had given up, and his entire temperament became extremely decadent.

"Even now, I don't even dare to commit suicide... How did you do it?"

"It would be great if someone could help me make up my mind to try it~ It's really... so troublesome."

He muttered under his breath.

"but……"

He started the instrument and drank another large glass of clean water. Then he stood up again, returned to where he was just now, grabbed the leg of the "corpse" on the ground with one hand, and dragged him somewhere.

"There's nothing wrong with living like this."

Chapter 5019 Don’t worry, I’m here to pick you up ()

After dealing with another corpse, he began to concentrate on cleaning up the mess. Of course, he mainly dealt with the rotten things to prevent the breeding of germs and the like... As for the other debris, there was nothing he could do. He didn't have enough energy to deal with it.

Another thing is to collect some water, dirty water or anything, as long as it is water, and throw it all into the water purification device, so that he can get some water for backup.

After that, he waited for a while by the water purification device. After collecting enough clean water, he dragged a bucket of water and slowly walked into the depths of the shelter.

He walked through the corridors covered with bloodstains, and after spending some time and effort on the half-broken control panel, he finally managed to open the door that led to the depths... After walking along a relatively clean and quiet road, he finally arrived at his destination - a "shelter" within a shelter.

In fact, it is just a deeper room. It is called a "shelter" only because of the turmoil. There is nothing special about this place itself.

As for who are the people here...

"call……"

He adjusted his breathing slightly, knocked on the door first to inform the people inside that there was someone outside, and then entered the password on the control panel outside and opened the door.

then……

chap——

The door was pushed open, a flash of cold light passed through his eyes, and a dangerous stinging sensation reached his neck in an instant, staying at a very close distance. Not far away, there were several people pointing guns at him.

"It's okay. It's me."

He looked at the men with guns not far away, then lowered his eyes and looked at the long knife that was resting on his neck. Following the cold light, he moved his gaze to look at the blade extending from the corner of his sight, and the pink-haired figure hidden behind the door, in the blind spot of his sight.

That's Sakura.

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled, Miss Sakura."

"...In the past, I was responsible for guarding Eden, so it shouldn't be surprising that I know some martial arts."

Ying stared at him for a long while, and when someone raised their hand to signal her, she slowly retracted the long sword in her hand and spoke in a half-joking tone.

"Besides, no matter how good your martial arts are, they can never be better than guns, right?"

"That's hard to say. Didn't you see Kevin and the others were using swords or something?"

Seeing the men laying down their guns, he relaxed a little, responding to Ying's joke while pulling in the bucket he was dragging.

"I purified all the water I could collect outside and brought it back. I think it can be considered as a replenishment of resources. As for other things... you know, those guys destroyed and wasted a lot of them. Although there should be a lot left, I don't have the energy to look for them for the time being. You can look for them when you have the chance."

"They are different. And that thing is not a sword in the strict sense. It is a kind of activated power used to exert the power of the Herrscher Core. The sword shape is just a form of expression... Besides, doesn't that thing look like a gun?"

Someone responded like this, and at the same time looked at the bucket of water he was dragging, pursed his lips, and finally didn't say anything more.

He just took it and placed it in the corner, and quickly installed a small water pump to fill several pots of water. He gave one to his companions, letting them drink it, and the rest of them went into another room with Ying...

Judging from the view vaguely revealed through the crack in the door, there seemed to be a lot of petite cuties inside, especially the overlapping pink colors were particularly eye-catching. One could also faintly hear the cheers of children and some obvious swallowing sounds.

"Okay, let's not talk about that nonsense anymore... How is the situation outside?"

Someone asked him this, drawing his attention back.

"One good news and one bad news."

He replied.

"The good news is that the situation outside has completely calmed down and we have successfully resolved the problem."

"Bad news... Ha, of course everyone is dead, and I'm the only one who survived."

His tone was somewhat bitter.

"I just [dealt with] the last crazy person... This feeling is quite uncomfortable."

"...Thank you for your hard work."

Others could only respond in this way.

"Ha, it's okay... Never mind, let's not talk about this, it's too depressing... Let me tell you guys? How are you? Have you contacted the base? Ah... If we still have a base."

"…We did get in touch, but it was both good news and bad news."

One person responded with a wry smile.

"The good news is that we have contacted the Fire-Chasing Moth, and Dr. Mei and the others have told us that support will arrive soon, so we can establish contact with them... The bad news is that if we keep sending communications, we may attract the Sea Si, and we may even have been located by the Sea Si."

"All I can say is... we don't quite know whether Dr. Mei and her support came first, or whether Hai Si arrived first."

"And Dr. Mei also said that after we meet up, he will have more important news to tell us... I have a feeling that it won't be good news, so... well, there will probably be one, or even several pieces of bad news, or even worse news."

"To put it simply, there is not much good news and bad news is waiting for us... It's really unlucky."

Someone shook his head helplessly, spread his hands, and summed it up in a somewhat funny tone... He himself didn't know why he was laughing, maybe it was because the situation was so bad that he was so angry that he laughed, or maybe it was because the helplessness in facing such a situation made him laugh.

"That's it..."

He nodded as if he understood, and then murmured something in a low voice.

"Then it seems we have to hurry up..."

Then he raised his head again and said with a smile.

"Hey... I guess our support must have arrived first."

"I hope so……"

"Hey, don't look so sad. It would be embarrassing if the kids saw it."

"……Too."

"........."

"…Just talk about anything, otherwise I'm afraid we'll repeat the same mistakes and become like those people before us."

"What you said is too horrible..."

"Just tell me if there is such a possibility."

"…Yeah, so what should we talk about?"

"Um... good question. I don't know either."

"Tell a joke or gossip?"

"Want a joke?"

"No, thank you. Even though we are in the desert, we don't need to cool down yet."

"What a shame. I had prepared a collection of bad jokes."

"Why, are you going to tell this to Hai Si and embarrass them to death, or are you going to tell this to us and embarrass us so much that we'll use our feet to knock you out of a four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment?"

"Isn't it a three-bedroom apartment?"

"You're not happy with a bigger one, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'd rather not miss this house that I got for free."

"6, are you telling me a crosstalk here?"

"What is cross talk?"

"You don't know? Oh... yes, you're not from Shenzhou. Anyway, you can just compare it to a talk show between two people. It's pretty much the same."

"Oh...that's interesting."

…………

Under each other's deliberate control, everyone opened up their chatterboxes, joked with each other, talked about their past funny stories, or recalled their past happy times...

In the end, even Sakura and the soldier who took care of the child joined in, chatting about random things, relieving each other's stress, and trying to relax as much as possible to avoid the accumulated stress driving them crazy... They had seen related examples and tasted the corresponding consequences, so they must not repeat the same mistakes again.

"Hey, come to think of it... Miss Sakura, you seem to be wearing that thing all the time."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, or simply because he saw that everyone's interest in chatting was gradually waning, he glanced at the somewhat special hair accessory, or headdress, on Sakura's head, smiled and opened up another topic.

"And the pendant too. You can see those two accessories almost every time you appear on camera. I remember seeing them in a few issues of magazines before."

"Ah, yes."

Ying was stunned for a moment, but had no objection. She just subconsciously raised her hand and touched the hair accessory on her head. A smile appeared on her face involuntarily, and she spoke slowly in a tone as gentle as falling cherry blossoms.

"After all, these things... have a special meaning to me, so I will always carry them with me."
