Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 548 The Unfinished Mission

Xue Feifei raised the metal block in her hand and showed it to Kong Zhe.

"Sorry, it might not be finished today."

"Oh, is that so..."

Kong Zhe nodded to express his understanding. He also saw Xue Feifei's action of wiping tears just now, but in his opinion, it should be because he made a mistake at the last moment and was unwilling.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help persuading: "It's okay, don't think too much, since you can do this today, there must be a chance to achieve it in the future, and it's just a matter of time before you can go out."

"……Um."

Xue Feifei could only nod embarrassingly.

"But it's really a pity."

After finishing speaking, Kong Zhe couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile: "Although you will definitely be able to make it in the future, I will never be able to see it. I also want to see what a real time machine looks like... Really, just It can be cheaper for someone in the future."

"...hug...sorry..."

"Don't worry about it, it's just a joke."

Kong Zhe waved his hand and smiled casually.Then he turned his head to look at the time, and now there is not much left until the end of the day.

"It seems that it's time to say goodbye. Then, I'm going to go. Take care."

Kong Zhe smiled at Xue Feifei and waved to her.

Xue Feifei also returned a smile.

But at the moment before the final time reset, Kong Zhe couldn't help but look back at Xue Feifei.

"Hey, are you really, all right... a time machine... can really make it, right?"

"Well... of course, I can do anything, just because I think that the time machine will be able to make it soon, I feel a little nervous, hehe..."

Xue Feifei nodded, and smiled at Kong Zhe, giving him an affirmative answer.

"That's it...that's fine..."

Following these words, Kong Zhe's figure disappeared instantly, and the whole room immediately changed.

Everything is back to the beginning.

Xue Feifei, on the other hand, was still standing there, staring blankly at the place where Kong Zhe disappeared.

It wasn't until dozens of seconds later that Xue Feifei came back to her senses. She just felt her whole body go limp. She couldn't help but slumped on the ground leaning against the wall, her hands hugging her knees. The tears she had been suppressing before finally finally All flowed out.

Why, is this the truth?
If this is the truth, it would be better not to know...

If her fate was determined from the beginning, then why did Kong Zhe give her hope before.What is really fatal is this contrast from hope to despair.If I knew this was the case, I might as well have been dead from the beginning.At least it won't be as uncomfortable as it is now.

In the dark room, Xue Feifei just huddled in the corner alone, weeping and wandering.She cried so much that she forgot the time.

She didn't finally stop until some morning light shone on her face outside the window.However, he still hugged his knees and stared at the ground in front of him in a daze.

The result can no longer be changed, so what should I do next?

Xue Feifei suddenly realized that she had nothing to do.

In the past few hundred days, she has been turning around the time machine. Although she is extremely busy, at least she is still very fulfilled. However, now, the time machine no longer needs her to move.But besides this, what else can I do?

Enjoy the day of your life?What nonsense, she was already tired of everything here in the first 1000 days, to the point where she wanted to vomit.

Or try to challenge something that you have never done before?For example, the 'destroying the world' that Kong Zhe mentioned before.

But then Xue Feifei shook her head, "Are you a fool to do this kind of thing, it's extremely laborious, and you won't get any benefits, so it's better to sleep at home."

"Hey... Maybe I can only sleep..."

Xue Feifei subconsciously lay down on the ground, with her head resting on the cold floor, she couldn't help thinking, she could just sleep forever like this...

"Ding ding ding..."

Just when Xue Feifei's consciousness was about to fade, suddenly a rapid bell rang, making her sit up suddenly from the ground.

"By the way, it's now..."

Xue Feifei hurriedly glanced at the clock on the wall, the time was exactly at [-]:[-].And this time, isn't it the time when Kong Zhe came to find him?

Speaking of which, in the previous hundreds of days, because she always contacted Kong Zhe just after the early morning, and then he would come immediately, so naturally there was no contact at six o'clock in the morning.After such a long time, she will forget about it.

"Ding ding ding..."

The bell kept ringing.Xue Feifei came to her senses and hurriedly got up and rushed over to pick it up.

"……Hey."

"Ah, are you there? It's me, Kong Zhe. I have something to ask you, do you have time now..."

Kong Zhe's voice came from the communicator, and Xue Feifei couldn't help but walked to the window and opened the curtain to look out while responding.

As before, in the downstairs of her house, near the gate of the community, Kong Zhe was standing there alone wearing a scarf.

"—Hey, are you still there?"

"Oh... oh, I'll go down right away."

Xue Feifei hung up the call.After taking two deep breaths, he took out the new communicator box from the drawer and was about to go out.

However, when she just opened the door, she seemed to have thought of something, and hurried back into the room, took a look at the mirror on the wall, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue.

By the way, she hastily tidied up her hair and tied it behind her head, but no matter how she tried, those white hairs that became more and more could not be covered at all. In desperation, Xue Feifei had no choice but to stay in the room He found a knitted hat to wear, and hid all the white hair in the hat.

It wasn't until she looked like everything was back to normal that she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried downstairs.

Two minutes later, she had already met Kong Zhe face to face.

"Here, what you want."

"Oh, thanks……"

Kong Zhe took it, opened it for a look, and put it back into the ring, but then he looked up at Xue Feifei, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Well, Tarot cards... are you still using it now? "

"No, it's no longer needed."

Xue Feifei took out the box containing the cards from her pocket with a natural expression, handed it to Kong Zhe, and said with a smile: "My research has come to an end, and I should return it to you."

"Oh, is that so?"

Kong Zhe nodded, since Xue Feifei said so, he can take it back with peace of mind.

Putting the card away, Kong Zhe raised his head, but when he met Xue Feifei's gaze, he frowned unconsciously.

"I said, you... nothing happened, right?"

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

Xue Feifei froze for a moment, the smile on her face froze for a moment, but recovered quickly, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Why do you ask such a question?"

At this moment, she was really puzzled. She thought she was acting naturally enough, as usual, so why did Kong Zhe suddenly ask such a question?Did he see something, or was there some flaw in his actions?
"No...how should I put it..."

Kong Zhe couldn't help touching his head, but finally shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking... Then, I'll go first."

"See you."

Xue Feifei greeted with a smile, and watched Kong Zhe go away.

Kong Zhe had already walked out of the community within a few steps, and then he was about to speed up and leave here at the speed of an awakened person, but when he was about to condense his magic power, he suddenly felt his arm being pulled.

Kong Zhe turned his head in astonishment. Behind him, Xue Feifei was standing there with his head down.

"do not go……"

A low voice came from her mouth.

"what?"

"Don't go, don't... just leave me like this..."

Xue Feifei suddenly raised her head and shouted out.

"help me!"

She thought she could accept being alone like this, but only when she saw Kong Zhe turned and left, did she realize that she had already started to rely on him unconsciously.

In nearly 1000 days, she has gotten used to the feeling of being with Kong Zhe.So when I saw him leaving at this moment, I immediately felt extremely flustered.

Half an hour later, in Xue Feifei's room.

"I see……"

Kong Zhe stood in front of the strange-shaped instrument, rubbed his chin and looked at it.

"In other words, you are trapped in a time cage, and the way to escape is to complete this instrument within a day?"

"……Um."

On the side, Xue Feifei lowered her head and sat on the sofa like a good baby.

After hearing what Kong Zhe said, she fell silent. She couldn't help but looked up at Kong Zhe secretly, but when she looked up, she realized that he was still staring at her.

This made Xue Feifei startled, and hurriedly lowered her head again.

Seeing her performance, Kong Zhe couldn't help frowning, shook his head and said: "I know the situation, but what I don't understand is, since you have told me many times before, and we have practiced many times, why this You didn't intend to tell me this time at the beginning? Didn't you say that you are almost successful?"

"This, this..."

Xue Feifei lowered her head even more, her eyes flickered back and forth, not knowing how to explain it.In the end, I really couldn't bear Kong Zhe's gaze like a prisoner's trial, so he just felt embarrassed, raised his head and said, "Anyway, just think that I'm tired and want to take a day off. Besides, I feel embarrassed to bother you if I take up your time every day." is you."

"Oh? Really? Then why did you stop me later?"

"This...this is..."

Regarding this, Xue Feifei could only falter and haw, unable to explain why, she couldn't tell him that she suddenly felt lonely without him.

Kong Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and didn't make things difficult for her anymore. He just shook his head and said, "It's just your own thoughts about trouble. In fact, I think I should have said it before. Something like that, as long as you don't mind, it doesn't matter if I can spend all of my time on you this day. In this day, my time is at your disposal, so it's okay, right?"
