Life in the collapsed world from scratch

She didn't understand, what does this have to do with herself?

"Yes, only you can do it, Xi'er." Mei paused, then continued to look at her and said, "Because this core belongs to 'you' in the first place."

"..."

Looking at Mei's eyes, and then at Cecilia who turned her head to avoid her sight, Xier suddenly remembered what sister Cecilia told her before, about Xier in this world , I seem to understand something in my heart.

"That's it..." Her eyes fell on the sea blue gemstone in front of her again, she pursed her lips, feeling a little complicated for a while.

"Come back here in three days, if you're ready."

Without giving her much time to think, Mei left such a sentence, then turned and walked out of the room.

"Wait, wait!" Xier couldn't help calling out to her.

Seeing the doubtful eyes that Mei turned around, she tightly held the clothes at the neckline, took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready, Sister Mei, you can start now!"

She didn't want to wait any longer, not only because of worry and missing her brother, but also because of the sudden strange feeling just now that made her feel strongly uneasy.

She had a hunch in her heart that if she waited like this, something very bad might happen.

however……

"You may have misunderstood me, Xier." Regarding the girl's request, Mei just shook her head and patiently explained: "These three days of preparation time are not for you, but for us."

"Whether it is the start of the project, the deployment of materials or the final inspection and confirmation, it will take time. Our current manpower is limited, and three days is already the limit of what we can do."

"Yes...that's it."

Although she was very disappointed, Xier also knew that she was a little anxious about this matter.After staying in anti-entropy for so many years, she has seen some large and small projects, so she clearly knows how cumbersome and annoying these preliminary preparations are. Just like what Mei said, when the manpower is limited Under the circumstances, it is already very remarkable to be able to prepare these things in three days.

 …  

"...Sorry, sister Mei, I might be a little impatient." Xi'er said apologetically.

"Taking advantage of this time, let's take a good rest." Out of concern and a responsible attitude, Mei reminded: "Your spirit has been a little too tense during this time, and in this state Going forward with the next thing will cause problems.”

"Well...I see."

Although a little unwilling, Xier still nodded and agreed.

Is it still three days...

She thought to herself, raised her head, and looked at the empty ceiling again, her eyes gradually lost focus, and her thoughts seemed to drift into the distance.

"Brother..." the girl murmured in a low voice.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After being reminded by Cheng Xi, the girl seemed to remember that her previous marriage plan was forced to be suspended, so she took Cheng Xi out overnight to go through the marriage formalities.

Although everything in this city is controlled by the girl, and the staff in the city hall are not real people, but according to the girl, the marriage certificate itself and the seal on it are genuine and legally binding.

Although Cheng Xi doesn't know if it's meaningful to pay attention to things like law in this city where there is no one but himself and the girl, but since the girl said so, let's take it... After all, she Now it can be said that she is the owner of this "[-]" city, of course she is what she says.

It's just that Cheng Xi never thought in the past that he, a person who has never been in love before, just had a girlfriend not long ago, and skipped the love stage and directly entered the married life.

Although the concept of flash marriage is very popular in society now, Cheng Xi still couldn't help but want to complain.

If the process of two people from falling in love to getting married is compared to life, can it be said that there is no childhood in a marriage that skips the love stage and directly receives a marriage certificate like this?

"However, love is a process where two people get to know each other, get to know each other, and fall in love, right?" The girl in her arms blinked and said, "But I already know you, I know you well, and I can't love you more than I do now So it doesn’t matter if you skip this process, right?”

You may have some misunderstandings about the "love" thing.Cheng Xi thought in his heart.

and……

"I don't know you either." He said with some incomprehension: "I don't even know your name."

The girl is not Theresa, or rather, not quite Theresa.

If a person is composed of three parts: body, soul and spirit, then the girl only has the body of Theresa in this world. It is not clear whether it is the soul of Theresa, and a self-awareness that is completely different from Theresa. .

She has no memory of Teresa, nor does she intend to inherit Teresa's past. She has her own favorite things and a life she pursues. There is no problem with two completely different people.

"Understanding this kind of thing, it doesn't matter if you take your time in the days to come." The girl put her arms around his arm and said happily.

"As for the name... You can continue to call me Theresa, after all Cheng Xi likes that girl very much, doesn't she?"

Cheng Xi: ...?

You can't talk nonsense. If it gets out and causes adverse effects, will you come and ask me for leniency?

"Eh? But..." The girl blushed slightly, put her hands on her lower abdomen and said shyly, "Don't you like this body very much? Just now..."

"Let's continue the topic just now." Cheng Xi coughed twice and quickly changed the subject.

Since the girl is willing, she should continue to call her Theresa. After all, with such a face, it always feels a bit weird to call her by another name.

However, as a distinction, and also as a separation from the "past", Cheng Xi felt that it would be better to change the surname.After all, the surname "Apocalypse" is not suitable for today's girls no matter how you look at it.

"Since you are a law-restraining person, how about using 'restraint' as your surname?" Cheng Xi suggested. …

However, what he didn't expect was that the girl shook her head and refused.

"No, no, I have a new surname now."

"New surname?" Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that no matter in the traditional concept of the West or the Far East, girls after marriage should change their husband's surname.

"Theresa Cheng." The girl said the name softly, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly, showing a beautiful smile: "How is it? Does it sound good?"

...feels weird.Cheng Xi thought to himself.

"Then add 'Constraint' as a middle name?" he said after a moment's thought.

The girl is a little indifferent to this kind of thing, but since Cheng Xi asked so, of course she will not refuse.

For her, the most important thing is that she has accomplished what she most wanted to do, and...

"Compared to my name, how about we consider the name of the future child?" She raised her head, looked at Cheng Xi expectantly with clear blue eyes, and suggested.

"Isn't it too early for things like 5.5?" Cheng Xi said hesitantly.He is not too clear about whether there is reproductive isolation between human beings and Herrschers.

Oh, he seems to be a Herrscher too, so that's fine.

"All right……"

The girl blinked her eyes, and a blush appeared on her face again: "Then...do you want to continue?"

"..."

After considering his current physical condition and the objective gap between him and the girl, Cheng Xi tactfully proposed the idea of ​​taking a halftime break.

"No!" The girl refused flatly.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the kitchen, the sound of "dong dong dong" cutting vegetables and a beautiful girl humming.

A girl in a frilly sleeveless apron stood in front of the chopping board, humming a song and briskly cutting various ingredients into thin slices or filaments. Her white hair was tied into a low ponytail with a black ribbon, following her movements Swaying slightly behind.

The sunlight falling from the skylight and the reflection spreading on the wall blend with each other, giving birth to a warm light.Looking at the scene in front of him, Cheng Xi suddenly felt as if he saw a newlywed wife who was cooking for her husband.

Uh, doesn't this seem to be an illusion?

Looking at the back of the busy girl in the kitchen, Cheng Xi thought to herself.

In fact, he is a person who is not very particular about food, and once mentioned to the girl that there is no such trouble, just eat some canned food or cook a bowl of noodles casually, but the girl insists on cooking by herself every day.

"Otherwise, wouldn't all the cooking skills I've practiced for so long be wasted?"

The girl answered him like this.

"13 And, for me, this is also a very happy thing."

Cheng Xi was almost used to the girl's easy satisfaction, so she didn't continue to persuade her.

What he couldn't understand was that this city was already a dead city, so where did she find so many fresh ingredients?

"I kept you waiting~"

It was already an hour after the girl finished cooking.

"...Is this a bit too much?"

Cheng Xi looked at the table full of dishes in front of him, and felt a little skeptical. Can two people really eat all these dishes?

The girl was wearing an apron with her hands behind her back, leaning forward slightly, with an embarrassed smile on her face: "Hee hee, I just wanted to try a new dish, and I accidentally overcooked it... If Cheng Xi If you can’t eat it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have to eat it all.”

This world is already at the end of the day, so we should cherish food to some extent.Cheng Xi thought in his heart.

"Speaking of which, I've always had a doubt." He first put a piece of meat in the girl's bowl, and then a bigger piece for himself. After enjoying the soft and smooth taste for a while, he said.

The girl who was sitting opposite her with her chin on her hands and smiling while watching him eat heard his words and nodded "hmmm" with a look of "as long as I know, I will tell you everything". Stance.

"Although it is said that you are the one who has brought the end of human civilization in this world, you have not actually taken the initiative to kill people, have you?" Cheng Xi asked.

"Because that's something Cheng Xi hates." The girl replied like this, acquiescing to Cheng Xi's statement.

"In that case, where are the people in this city going now?" Cheng Xi looked at the girl opposite and continued to ask.

Although he didn't visit every corner of the city, he still walked through some main areas with the company of the girl. After the cover of Yu Duchen's illusion was gone, the city was finally in his hands. Its original desolate and dead face was shown in front of it.

Not to mention people, he has never seen a single animal, not even a dead body.

Such a large city cannot be built by the human civilization of this world as a model sand table, right?

Cheng Xi can be sure that since the city is so well preserved, it means that there must still be people living in it before the final end comes.

So the question is, where are those people now?

"It's dead." The girl replied.

"Where's the corpse?"

"Because it was an eyesore, I cleared it out."

As if she was afraid that Cheng Xi would misunderstand, the girl quickly added another sentence after saying this: "I dug a hole to bury them!"

Cheng Xi didn't misunderstand anything, he believed that the girl would not deceive him, since she said she would not do things that made him hate, then she would definitely not do it...at least not on purpose.

From the girl's words, it can be heard that when she came to this city, the people in the city seemed to have almost died, so she needed to spend a lot of effort to clean up the bodies of those people.
