Collapse, harem after the end of the world

Chapter 655: Farewell

Just as Jizi was about to leave Changkong City with Theresa, a terrifying explosion suddenly appeared on the Hyperion's screen. Blazing flames and shattered debris tumbled through the air, as if a disaster was about to strike.

"What happened?!" Ji Zi's face turned pale with fear. She quickly turned around and asked the operators around her. The dense explosions didn't seem like an accidental incident at all, but more like deliberate sabotage, deliberately preventing people from leaving the city.

The operators' faces were filled with fear and confusion. They nervously checked the various monitoring screens, trying to find clues and answers. The tense atmosphere around them was thick in the air, making it hard to breathe.

Suddenly, a young operator with a pale face ran up to Ji Zi. He reported in a trembling voice, "Report to the Major, we have carefully observed and found that the streets leading out of Changkong City have been completely destroyed! This is not an ordinary disaster, but someone deliberately wanted to prevent people from leaving the city."

Ji Zi frowned, her beautiful brows furrowed, her eyes revealing a hint of puzzlement and bewilderment. She couldn't understand why someone would suddenly do such an incredible thing.

"Major! We discovered that the Anti-Entropy Force is fighting with others. The ones who destroyed the road should be the Anti-Entropy people." A young operator reported to Ji Zi anxiously.

There was a hint of nervousness in Jizi's voice, "What? Who are the people fighting? Tell me their identities!"

The operator quickly operated on the console, and soon the screen showed the images of the two warring parties. Ji Zi stared at the screen, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face.

In the picture, two teams are fighting fiercely, sparks flying. The battlefield is filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the tense atmosphere makes people feel a sense of tension.

When Ji Zi saw the people on the screen clearly, her face instantly turned into confusion. Those were familiar faces to her, but those people were actually...

At this moment on the battlefield, Adam was quickly dealing with the enemies around him.

But despite this, there are still a lot of enemies around.

"Troublesome, this Cocolia guy is really troublesome." Adam showed a troubled expression at this time.

If it were in the past, he and his companions would naturally not care about these small fry, but now, he and his companions cannot exert their true strength, resulting in them always being restrained in battle.

Adam frowned, his fighting power steadily depleting, making him extremely anxious. Cocolia was sending more and more robots, and they were simply unable to resist. Just as he and his companions were about to reach their physical limits, a sudden roar echoed from the sky.

Adam and the others looked up and saw a massive Hyperion appear above their heads. The Hyperion's massive size and imposing presence filled everyone with awe.

On the Hyperion's giant screen, Jizi's figure appeared, her brow furrowed, her gaze firm and fearless.

"Damn it! Saint Freya's men arrived so quickly?" Cocolia smacked her lips, feeling helpless and regretful. She had originally intended to prevent people from leaving Changkong City by blowing up the roads, but she hadn't expected this to cause even greater trouble.

Facing the current situation, Cocolia calmly considered her next move. She knew that Saint Freya's men would definitely not let her go, and her plan was likely to fail.

However, Cocolia was unwilling to give in. She turned around and activated the Titan robot's self-destruct program, watching as the robot radiated a huge amount of energy.

"You guys leave here first, leave this place to us!" Adam said resolutely to Kiana and the other two.

"Wait, what about you guys?" Kiana asked worriedly. She couldn't bear to leave Adam and the others behind.

"Don't worry about us, we'll find a way." Adam answered without hesitation, his eyes revealing his firm confidence in Kiana.

Seeing Kiana still hesitating, Adam had to take decisive action. Without hesitation, he used the power of the Herrscher of the Void. In an instant, a portal shimmering with black light suddenly appeared at their feet, instantly transporting them to the Hyperion's control room.

"What's going on?" Ji Zi was completely stunned by the scene before her. She looked at the people who suddenly appeared in the cab with confusion, her mind full of questions. How did these people get in?

"Leave!" Adam yelled at Ji Zi on the Hyperion, knowing that time was running out. Immediately afterwards, the energy in the surrounding Titan robots had gathered to its peak.

Ji Zi's eyes narrowed, and she immediately understood Adam's intention. She hurriedly asked the operator to operate and leave the place.

The moment they left, the Titan robot's energy erupted with dazzling light. Waves of energy rapidly spread out, engulfing all the enemies on the battlefield.

Outside the Hyperion, a massive energy shockwave spread out, deforming the surrounding air. Jizi clutched the cockpit armrest tightly, eyes closed, waiting for the energy shockwave to pass.

As the energy ripples gradually faded, Kiana opened her eyes and found that all objects around her had vanished. Adam and the others had vanished, leaving no trace. Her heartbeat quickened, and an indescribable fear gripped her. She felt as if she were in an empty, illusory world, a feeling of loneliness and solitude that nearly suffocated her.

Kiana and Mei stared blankly at the empty battlefield. Disbelief filled their minds. They couldn't comprehend what had happened. Why had Adam suddenly vanished? Where had their companions gone?

Kiana struggled to control her emotions. She knew now wasn't the time to burst into tears. She needed to calm down and find answers. However, she had no idea where Adam and the others had gone.

She looked around. The battlefield was completely destroyed, with rubble and debris scattered around her. Where once bustling and full of life, now only ruins and dead silence remained. Kiana's heart sank. She felt helpless and alone.

However, what no one knew was that Adam had already opened the channel before the explosion and sent Kiana and others from the future back.

As for himself, he was sent into the super time stream again because of the change in the timeline.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a grassland.

Chapter 656: Wendy in Australia

When Adam slowly opened his eyes again, the stunning scenery made him feel overwhelmed. He found himself in a vast grassland, as if he were in a perfect picture of paradise.

The lush green grass before him was a scene of lushness, its delicate blades swaying gently, emitting a fresh scent. Adam gazed at the grassland and noticed the boundless sky was a clear blue, as pure as if it had never been tainted by human activity.

Looking up at the sky, clouds drifted leisurely, wandering lazily like sheep. Sunlight streamed down the grass, gently embracing each blade and illuminating the entire prairie. A gentle breeze rustled the grass, and the blades danced like a group of cheerful dancers.

In the distance, a herd of cows leisurely grazes on grass, their coats gleaming with a healthy sheen. They lower their heads as they chew, seemingly enjoying this tranquil world. Adam's gaze passes beyond the cows, and in the distance, a hill looms, covered in lush trees, a captivating scene like a painting.

Although the scenery here is very beautiful, Adam's eyes are filled with confusion.

"Where am I?" Adam felt a little dazed at this moment. He was clearly in the ruins of Changkong City just now, but in the blink of an eye he came to such a green grassland.

Adam took out his mobile phone at this time and was surprised to find that he had come to Australia.

"Why am I in this place?" He was full of doubts and puzzled by everything he saw.

He looked around and realized he was on a grassland that seemed completely alien to the real world. The distant hills, shaded by verdant trees, resembled a fairyland. The cows leisurely munched on the grass, seemingly untouched by the hustle and bustle of the world.

He gripped his phone tightly, trying to get an answer through the communication device, but the screen was just silent.

Just when he was thinking of giving up, a breeze blew by, bringing the fragrance of flowers and birdsong from afar.

Just then, a girl with emerald green hair approached from a distance. Her long hair, like a strand of emerald silk, fluttered gently in the breeze. She wore a pale green dress that accentuated her slender figure. She clutched a delicate shopping bag and danced gracefully across the grass like a fashion elf.

The moment Adam saw her, he felt a little unbelievable. How could he see Wendy in such a remote place? However, the girl's figure was so familiar, and her beauty and intimacy made him feel moved. As if it was fate, they met again in this field.

Adam couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating, as he actually met Wendy here.

“Come to think of it, Wendy does seem to be in the Oceania branch, and the Oceania branch is located in Australia.

But Adam now had another question. As far as he knew, Wendy should have been unable to walk because of the experiment.

But now Wendy is still just like an ordinary girl. Does that mean that Wendy hasn't undergone that experiment yet?

"I actually arrived before Wendy was used as an experimental subject?"

At this time, Wendy seemed to notice Adam's presence and walked towards him.

"Excuse me, sir, how can I help you?" The gentle yet lively voice was completely different from the Wendy Adam had seen before.

"It's nothing. I just got here and I seem to be lost. Could you please tell me where the nearest city is?" Adam made up an excuse and said to Wendy.

Wendy smiled, her smile as warm and bright as the morning sun. "You're a new tourist! It's really rare to see someone like you here," she said softly.

"If you want to go to the nearest city, you have to go over there, but it's quite far from here. How about I take you there?" she suggested.

"Thank you for your help." Adam followed Wendy all the way to the car and found that it was less than one kilometer away from the Oceania branch.

No wonder Wendy said that few people come here.

But at this time Adam thought of another thing.

When I traveled through time before, I came to Changkong City and met Kiana. This time, I came to the Oceania branch and happened to meet Wendy here.

The time and place are so coincidental every time. It seems that my route has already been planned by the ferryman.

But at least for now, it seems that my paradise can still be used.

"I didn't expect this to be the Oceania branch." Adam muttered to himself at this time.

"Hey?! Sir, do you know the Oceania branch?" Wendy covered her mouth in surprise, as if she was surprised that Adam knew about this place.

"Ah, I guess I'm one of the people who were destined to be here. I happened to come to Australia and didn't expect to get lost here."

Adam continued speaking to Wendy.

"That's really a coincidence. My name is Wendy, and I'm a Valkyrie who just joined the Oceania branch! Please give me your guidance." Wendy said to Adam with kindness.

"Have you just joined? I feel like you already have A-rank strength."

"Ahaha, actually it's not that great, but I have been taking part in the A-level assessment recently." Wendy said a little embarrassedly at this time.

With just a few words, Adam had probably guessed the current time.

Wendy is now expected to be promoted to an A-rank Valkyrie soon. Then, a few months later, Wendy will probably volunteer to participate in the experiment of fusing with gems, which will eventually lead to her legs being crippled, being ostracized by all the Valkyries, and finally becoming a Herrscher due to a mental breakdown.

Thinking of this, Adam couldn't help but sigh.

"Did the ferryman send me here to prevent Wendy's tragedy?"

In Adam's opinion, the consequences of this kind of thing are more serious than his involvement in Kiana and the others' escape. If things go wrong, it may really lead all future history in an unknown direction.

"Is there any problem?" Wendy asked curiously when she saw Adam didn't say anything.

"No, it's nothing. I just find it a little unbelievable that such a young girl is about to become an A-rank Valkyrie."

"No, I'm still far behind those seniors." Wendy smiled shyly at this time.

The more Adam looked at Wendy's expression, the more he felt that he needed to change her tragedy.

Chapter 657: Revisiting the Old Place with Wendy

"Then sir, I will take you here first. I wish you a pleasant journey."

After sending Adam to a nearby city, Wendy waved goodbye to Adam.

Adam stood outside the town, taking in the view. Vast fields stretched into the distance, endless waves of golden wheat swaying in the breeze, as if beckoning him. Sunlight filtered through sparse clouds, casting a soft glow over the landscape, casting a warm atmosphere over the town.

Adam felt a sense of emptiness wash over him, as if he were in a secluded countryside. Australia before the Collapse had been a bustling and bustling place, but now, everything had become peaceful and tranquil. A wave of nostalgia welled up in Adam.

Compared to the bustling city, this small town, brimming with rural charm, was a refreshing escape for Adam. He strolled through the streets, past meticulously restored wooden buildings, each one revealing the traces of time and the residents' love for their home. Outside the window, the flowers in the garden shone in vibrant colors, exuding an enchanting fragrance. Adam paused to observe, almost hearing the gentle whispers of the blossoms in the breeze.

The people of the town lived a peaceful and tranquil life. Residents greeted each other on the street, their faces filled with friendly, genuine smiles. Adam suddenly felt a desire to integrate into this community. He wanted to be a part of this quiet town and share the little things of life with these kind people.

In this small town full of rural atmosphere, Adam gradually felt his heart calm down. It felt like even time began to slow down here.

Adam stepped into a small, elegant cafe, elegantly ordered a cup of fragrant coffee, and then comfortably settled into a window seat, overlooking the scenery. The town seemed to have been dormant for a long time, untouched by travelers. However, the waitress was exceptionally welcoming, as if awaiting a special arrival. She enthusiastically introduced Adam to the characteristics of this tranquil place, telling him all about it.

Yet, Adam's heart was not at peace. He knew that in the near future, when his beloved Wendy became the Herrscher of the Wind, this once peaceful town would face utter destruction. A horrific catastrophe would sweep across, plunging every resident into endless darkness. This cruel reality filled Adam's heart with heaviness and resignation.

"It's obvious that the kid likes this place very much." Adam couldn't help but remember that when they said goodbye, Wendy was still enthusiastically introducing this not-so-prosperous town.

Since this place is not far from the Atlantic branch, Wendy always chooses to come here to rest when she has free time.

When she was not familiar with the branch, she would always come here to hang out. Before she knew it, the residents of the town had all gotten to know the lively girl.

"Speaking of which, why not let the future Wendy come and take a look." At this moment, Adam suddenly thought of something and simply opened the passage to paradise.

A pink glow appeared before Adam, and then an emerald green figure appeared before Adam. When Wendy from the future appeared before Adam, her face was filled with confusion.

"Captain? Why am I here?" Wendy looked at the surrounding scenery, her heart filled with confusion.

"I just happened to come to this time and space, and I felt it necessary to show you here. Do you feel familiar with this place?" Adam pointed around and asked Wendy.

Wendy looked around, her heart racing at the familiar streets and buildings. This was the town she once loved, a haven for her soul.

"This is... my country town, a place I often visited when I was a child. But... how did I end up here?" Wendy gently touched a nearby tree with her fingers, as if to confirm whether all this was real.

Adam observed Wendy's expression and felt the tremor in her heart. He knew that this place held special meaning for her. This town had once been her dream and her paradise.

"What a coincidence, I came here just before you became the Herrscher of Wind, and this town hasn't been destroyed yet." Adam said to Wendy at this time.

Wendy's expression froze for a moment as she listened to Adam's words, then turned complex. She felt a conflict and struggle within herself. She felt a surge of guilt for the city she had destroyed during her rampage.

Everyone in the town had been so friendly and welcoming, but it was her delusion and her power that cost them all their lives. She closed her eyes, recalling those moments. Wendy could never forget the smiles of the residents, their kindness and sincerity.

"Speaking of which, do you want to go shopping?" Adam Wendy asked at this time, trying to divert her attention.

"But..." Wendy's voice was hesitant. She felt fear and terror in her heart. She didn't know if she could bear seeing these familiar scenes. Thinking of the innocent lives lost, her heart was in great pain.

However, Adam suddenly took Wendy's hand and whispered, "It's so hard to come here, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't take a good look around? Let's go together, I'll be with you all the time."

Wendy raised her head and looked into Adam's determined eyes. The uneasiness and fear in her heart were gradually replaced by warmth and comfort. She knew that Adam was using his company and support to help her face the shadow of the past.

She nodded slightly and held Adam's hand tightly, feeling the firmness and warmth. Together they walked out of the cafe and onto the streets of the town.

The streets of the town seemed to have gone back in time, regaining their former prosperity and vitality. Adam and Wendy strolled along the streets, and the surrounding residents greeted them with friendly and sincere smiles.

Wendy's mood gradually calmed down, and she began to feel the peace and tranquility that this small town brought her. She recalled her memories here with her teammates. Those happy and warm memories flooded back to her heart like a spring.

They passed a small, exquisite coffee shop, and Wendy couldn't help but stop and stare at the familiar place. This was where she and her family used to enjoy delicious coffee and desserts, and her heart was filled with endless emotions.

"Wendy, look." Adam patted Wendy's shoulder gently and pointed to the waiter in the cafe. The waiter seemed to be waiting for someone special, her face full of enthusiasm and anticipation.

Wendy's gaze shifted to the waiter, and she suddenly sensed a familiar atmosphere. Her eyes gradually brightened as she recognized the waiter's smile.

Wendy also responded with a smile. It seemed that the other party mistook the future Wendy for the present Wendy.
