Collapse, harem after the end of the world

Just then, Adam felt someone's hand gently patting his shoulder. He turned around and found Kiana lying beside him, looking at him sleepily.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?" Kiana rubbed her eyes and asked in confusion, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Adam took a deep breath, trying to clear the woman from his dream. He smiled and said soothingly, "It's nothing, just a nightmare. Don't worry, Kiana."

Kiana still felt a little strange. She sensed a deep sense of unease in Adam's eyes. She sighed softly and gently patted Adam's hand, trying to comfort him.

"Nightmare?" Kiana frowned slightly. She had never seen Adam look so exhausted and uneasy. "Captain, you never have nightmares. What happened?"

Adam forced a smile, trying to hide his doubts. He gently patted Kiana's hand and said reluctantly, "Maybe it's just a temporary problem. Don't worry. Besides, it's just a dream, nothing serious."

Although Adam said this, there was still a trace of worry between his brows.

Kiana nodded slightly. She knew Adam didn't want her to worry, so she chose to believe him. However, there was still a hint of worry and doubt in her eyes.

Adam took a deep breath, trying to put the dream behind him. No matter who that woman was, no matter what that red moon meant, he couldn't let these illusions influence his judgment and decision-making.

But he had a feeling that the woman in his dream would probably meet him soon.

Chapter 590: New World Bubble

The Hyperion's dining room was still bustling with activity, as if an endless cacophony of noise filled the entire space. People chatted happily, and laughter echoed throughout the ornately decorated hall.

Adam sat quietly in his seat, his eyes blurred and deep, as if his thoughts were still on the woman who appeared in his dream. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, trying to understand her origins and the reason for her appearance.

Bronya gently carried a tray and gracefully sat across from Adam. Her eyes revealed concern and warmth, like a gentle breeze caressing Adam's heart. Her voice was like the chirping of birds in the morning, soft and moving. "Captain, is there something wrong? You seem to be worried about something."

Adam raised his head and gazed into Bronya's eyes, a thoughtful glint in his eyes. Countless questions surged in his mind, and he sought answers about that mysterious woman. "No, nothing much. Just thinking about our next move," he replied casually, his voice a touch perfunctory.

"I see." Bronya nodded slightly, a hint of understanding in her eyes: "Indeed, we must carefully consider our next itinerary."

At this point, Kiana's soul fragments had almost been assembled, and her power had returned to its former peak. It could be said that their mission to the Quantum Ocean had largely been accomplished. However, the remaining task of finding the Ferryman and stopping him was not as easy as imagined. After all, the Quantum Ocean was vast and boundless, and finding the Ferryman in this vast universe was truly difficult. Now, everyone must brainstorm and formulate a detailed plan for the next step.

"Ha~ Come to think of it, why do we have to keep searching for the World Bubble?"

However, at this moment, at the other table, Paddo leaned back in her chair wearily, a look of helplessness in her eyes. She had exhausted all her efforts to find all the fragments, but now she had to plunge into the endless exploration of the quantum sea, searching for those lost world bubbles.

Padu felt exhausted and longed to put everything aside and have a good rest.

"Because we're still searching for our companions who have lost themselves in the various bubbles of the world, aren't we?" Hua explained calmly to Padu. "To rebuild the apocalyptic wasteland, we need more manpower."

"Oh, I long for rest!" Padoo wailed inwardly, feeling as if her body were completely exhausted. For all this time, they had been exhausting their efforts in searching for the Bubble, constantly traveling back and forth between universes, each journey fraught with danger and uncertainty. This constant travel and exertion had stretched Padoo's body and spirit to their limits.

"It seems everyone's been very tired lately," Adam smiled and shook his head. He knew everyone's patience had reached its limit. Their last vacation plans had been disrupted by the events of the Winter Kingdom, leaving them without a chance to rest. Now they were caught up in this arduous mission.

But time waits for no one. There's really no time to rest these days. They must quickly find all their companions and regroup to achieve their goal of rebuilding the apocalyptic wasteland.

At this moment, Ai Yi hurried to Adam and reported to him breathlessly: "Captain! The new world bubble has been found!" Her voice revealed excitement and fatigue.

Adam looked at Ai Yi with curiosity in his eyes. He asked, "What kind of world is this new bubble?"

Ai Yi smiled and replied, "We haven't conducted a detailed investigation yet, so we're not entirely sure. But based on the context we've observed so far, it's roughly similar to medieval Europe."

Adam felt a headache coming on. He knew very little about history. He asked in confusion, "What was Europe like in the Middle Ages?"

Ai Yi thought for a moment, then decided to take Adam to see it. The two of them walked into the Hyperion's cab together.

Adam walked into the Hyperion's cab, his tired eyes gleaming with anticipation. He found Dr. Ein waiting there, looking even more tired than usual. Dark circles under her eyes highlighted her lack of rest.

"Captain, you're here?" Dr. Ein greeted with a smile, a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Adam nodded, then asked, "Doctor, what kind of world is the New World Bubble?"

Dr. Ein pointed out the window, and Adam followed her gesture, and a shocking scene appeared before his eyes.

In that vast void, a brand-new bubble quietly floated. Its appearance was not much different from the others, yet it exuded a mysterious aura. Adam could sense a profound energy emanating from it.

Adam stared into Dr. Ein's eyes, filled with doubt and bewilderment. "What makes this world so special?" he couldn't help but ask. He knew there were countless worlds in the quantum ocean, so why would he choose such a seemingly ordinary world this time?

"Because we have detected the Ferryman's signal in this world." Dr. Ein's voice was low and solemn, like an echo from the depths of the earth. Adam frowned upon hearing this, his heart filled with doubt.

"You mean, the ferryman might be in this world?" Adam pressed again. He wondered if he'd misunderstood, or perhaps just misheard. But deep down, he still longed to find the legendary ferryman.

"I'm not completely sure, but at least the signal is there. Whether it's the ferryman or not, perhaps someone or something related to him could be there." Dr. Ein's tone revealed a hint of hesitation and uncertainty. He knew that this answer wasn't enough for Adam, but it was the only clue they had.

Adam's eyes began to become serious at this time.

In recent times, they have not found any information related to the ferryman.

Now I didn’t expect that the other party might exist in this world.

However, will the other party really release the signal openly?

This made Adam wonder if this was a trap.

"How about it? Want to go in and explore?"

Bronya, who came with Adam, asked the late-night party.

"Well, it's definitely necessary to do a thorough investigation. Regardless of whether it's a trap or not, we should at least investigate it thoroughly."

Chapter 591: The candidate for the world bubble.

In Hyperion's conference room, Adam stood at the podium, a solemn atmosphere permeated the air. He looked around, his eyes casting deep shadows on everyone's face.

Xilin's voice seemed a little trembling, and the worry on her face was beyond words: "Is there another new world bubble? What kind of world is it this time?" The last world bubble incident still lingered in her mind, bringing her endless fear and anxiety.

Everyone was still apprehensive, worried, and filled with anxieties about the impending bubble. They knew full well that this new bubble was likely to be a land fraught with trouble and danger.

Adam understood everyone's feelings. No one wanted to step into that dangerous World Bubble again, but this time, they had no choice but to face it. His voice was firm and steady: "This time, I intend to select only a few people to go to the World Bubble. I won't let everyone take the risk. Anyone willing to go?" He cast his eyes over the Valkyries in the meeting room, hoping to find a volunteer.

The silent conference room was as still as a tomb, almost audible even to the sound of a pin drop. Everyone cast their eyes to the ground, speechless. Clearly, no one wanted to participate in this mission.

Adam's gaze swept across everyone's faces. Everyone looked down or up at the sky, as if they were looking at something interesting. He gave a wry smile. These Valkyries, as soon as they heard about the World Soaking Quest, were so busy that they had no time for adventure.

"Xilin, aren't you quite free recently?" Adam asked Xilin, hoping to find at least one person willing to go to the world to hang out.

"Don't, don't look at me! I'm very busy recently! I, I want to take Bella for a walk." At this time, Xilin saw Adam looking at her and quickly said, pointing to Bella beside her. Bella was stunned when she heard her name.

Adam shook his head. This girl always found excuses to avoid missions. He turned his head and set his sights on Kiana.

"Then, Kiana, will you accompany me?" His voice was filled with anticipation.

Kiana coughed sheepishly, looked at Adam, then back at the game in her hand. After a mental struggle, she really didn't want to participate in this mission.

"Well, I'm sorry, Captain, I've been very busy lately. I have to repair the damage to the End Core." Kiana touched her head embarrassedly.

Adam looked at her expression and felt a little disappointed, but he understood that everyone had their own mission and he couldn't force them.

"Okay, I understand. It seems that I have no choice but to go to the world myself." Adam sighed lightly and decided to take on this task himself.

The atmosphere in the conference room became heavier, and everyone looked at Adam somewhat embarrassedly.

Just as Adam was about to leave the meeting room, a soft voice suddenly sounded.

"Captain, I'm willing to go to the world." Everyone looked up in surprise and looked at the person who spoke.

Hua, who was sitting in the corner at this time, spoke.

This surprised everyone.

Hua, who usually doesn't talk much, actually volunteered.

"Do you want to go to the World? How about including me?" At this moment, another person took the initiative to suggest going to the World. This time, the person was Haitu.

"I've been staying here long enough recently. It's time to go out for a walk." said the Hare Rabbit at this time.

"Okay, in that case, Hua and Haitu will go with me this time." Adam immediately decided on the team.

"Then, the rest of you should stay on the boat and wait. This could be a trap set by the ferryman, so the rest of you must be ready to provide support at any time. If anyone dares to slack off this time, you know what will happen."

Adam now showed a "kind" smile to everyone.

Suddenly, everyone around showed a bitter face.

"The next step is up to you."

When Adam brought Hua and Haitu to the exit, he couldn't help but ask Haitu a question. He fixed his eyes on Haitu, who had been following him silently, and asked in confusion, "Haitu, you actually followed me out? Aren't you usually the one playing games in your room?" Adam was very surprised by Haitu's behavior.

Haitu smiled and replied, "Ha, I have my reasons too." She remained mysterious on purpose and was unwilling to talk more about her thoughts.

Adam looked at Haitu's reluctance to speak and after a moment's reflection, he decided not to ask any more questions. He knew Haitu was merely Hyperion's collaborator, so he didn't want to ask any more questions.

"Captain, we should prepare to enter the world bubble."

At this time, Hua reminded Adam, and Adam nodded slightly to Hua.

Standing on the deck, special instruments began to work.

Now they are about to be sent into the world bubble in front of them.

The tool they are currently using is the latest development by Dr. Tesla, which has the powerful ability to deceive the world.

Since this might be a trap, they can only use this method to sneak into that world.

However, when the instrument was started, an accident occurred.

"What's going on?!" Tesla, who was operating the instrument, suddenly found that the data on the instrument was running at a very fast speed and soon exceeded his own limit.

Adam frowned, his eyes fixed on the rapidly running data on the instrument. He had a foreboding feeling in his heart, as if something unforeseen was about to happen.

Hua looked at Tesla anxiously and asked anxiously: "Dr. Tesla, is there a problem? Will this situation affect our infiltration?"

Tesla's face was grim as he stared intently at the data on the instrument, his eyes focused as he pondered a solution. "This is an unexpected change. I don't know what happened. The data is operating beyond my settings. We need to find a solution as soon as possible."

Adam's brow furrowed, realizing the mission might be far more dangerous than he'd anticipated. He made a quick decision: "Let's temporarily suspend the infiltration plan. Tesla, do you have any ideas for solving this problem?"

Tesla thought for a moment and nodded firmly: "I will find the cause as soon as possible and repair the instrument. Please wait a moment."

However, as soon as Tesla finished speaking, the instrument suddenly started up.

Adam and others were sent directly into the world bubble.

When Adam opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dilapidated house. Dim light streamed through the dusty windows, casting everything in shadow. The air was thick with a musty smell, as if no one had cared for the place in ages.

Dust accumulated thickly in the corners, forming a layer of gray frost, as if the passage of time had stopped there. The furniture in the room was arranged in a chaotic manner, as if it had undergone a violent upheaval. The table was piled with various documents, spread out in a disorderly manner. The papers were yellowed, and the blurred handwriting was difficult to read. The documents piled up like a mountain, and the corner of the table was barely visible.

Adam looked around in confusion, his mind replaying everything that had just happened. He remembered the moment Tesla's device suddenly lost control, a powerful electric current pulsing through his body, and then a black hole devoured him mercilessly. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this strange and dilapidated place.

Adam quickly calmed down. He looked around and noticed a slightly clean detective costume hanging on the clothes rack in the room. He reached out and touched the clothes. The texture was smooth, as if he had just worn them.

The air lingered with the strong scent of cigarettes and the faint aroma of medicine. These odors intertwined in Adam's nostrils, stirring his suspicions about the owner of the house. He wondered if he had become the detective's successor.

Adam approached the desk and noticed documents scattered across it, all related to various cases. It seemed the original owner of this room must have been a detective. He carefully flipped through the documents, each page detailing a different case, analyzing the criminal's psychology and methods from the most basic to the most complex.

"I'm a detective now? It seems Tesla's device must have been successful." Adam's mind was full of thoughts as he tried to recall his past. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any memories related to being a detective.

Just then, Adam discovered a notebook hidden within his coat. He carefully pulled it out, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation. It turned out to be the detective's notes. Adam gently flipped open the pages, and the words gradually became clearer.

"Yesterday, my assistant, Watson, and I received a special commission. We're heading to another city to investigate a mysterious disappearance. Although I'm full of doubts about this mission, knowing it's a commission from the National Police Agency, I have no choice but to set off. This disappearance is extremely dangerous, and I hope we won't cause any trouble."

Adam stared at the writing in astonishment, his doubts growing even deeper. Was this note about a commission? The detective seemed to have an assistant, and they were about to go to another city to investigate a missing person case. Adam clutched the notebook tightly, his thoughts racing as he recalled how he had arrived in this strange place.

Adam was lost in thought, trying to process the implications of the note. Suddenly, the door to the room flung open, startling him. Instinctively, he gripped his weapon, ready to respond to any sudden danger. However, when he saw who had entered, Adam's body froze in place. He opened his mouth to speak, but froze. It was Hua.

He asked, his face filled with confusion, "Hua?" Adam's voice betrayed his bewilderment at the unexpected situation. Hua was also deeply shocked. She stared at Adam with astonishment, her face filled with surprise. Clearly, neither of them had expected to meet in this place.

At the same time, Adam's eyes inadvertently swept over Hua, and he was shocked to find that she was wearing a black detective uniform. Her slender figure was tightly wrapped in the clothes, appearing even more slender. Hua also wore a pair of plain glasses, adding a touch of wisdom and heroism to her face.

"Captain, why are you here too?" Hua asked with some confusion, frowning slightly.

Adam gave a wry smile, and he couldn't help feeling confused: "I don't know either, I just got here. Speaking of which, wait, the assistant named Watson mentioned in this note, is it you?" There was disbelief in Adam's tone.

Hua nodded quickly at Adam's question. Her current identity was indeed the detective's assistant. Like Adam, she had come to this world because of a sudden accident with the instrument. She knew nothing except her identity as an assistant.

"I didn't expect that we were so close when we came here. By the way, where did that guy Hare Rabbit go?" Adam suddenly asked a question. The two of them were already here, but Hare Rabbit disappeared inexplicably.

Hua thought for a moment, then replied, "I don't know where Hare Rabbit went. Perhaps he arrived in this world before us." She looked around, her mind full of questions. The room looked spotless. Photos hung on the wall showed a detective and his assistant at various crime scenes. The assistant looked very similar to Hua.

Just when the two were puzzled, a figure suddenly rushed in from the door. Adam and Hua immediately looked towards the door alertly, only to see that the other person was wearing a police uniform and came to Adam with rapid breathing, as if something urgent was happening.
