On the occasion of collapse

At this time, Poria was standing in a shelter left by the Fire Chaser Moth.

Looking at the various high-tech instruments and heavy metal walls around her, Poria felt an unreal feeling.

After leaving that technologically advanced civilization and living in the forest for so long, she was already somewhat unaccustomed to such an environment.

However, if you are not used to it, you are not used to it. Fu Ling has not forgotten the purpose of coming here.

Looking at the neatly arranged dormant warehouses on the ground, Fuling was silent for a moment, and then chose to avoid them.

She didn't know if there were people she knew in these dormant warehouses.

Therefore, it is better not to have any contact.

Because she had a goal, Fuling quickly found the purpose of her visit.

Data terminals for all shelters.

The crystallization of Mei's wisdom, the prototype of the First God Key, and the essence of pre-human civilization.

Super artificial life form: Prometheus.

"Long time no see." Looking at the empty screen in front of her, Fuling spoke first.

There was no change on the screen, as if Poria had found the wrong one.

But Fu Ling was not in a hurry, she just waited quietly.

After a long time, the screen that was originally extinguished lit up, and a row of fonts appeared on the screen.

[Long time no see, Poria. ]

"It seems that you have lived a pretty good life these years?" Fu Ling knew that Prometheus's body was not here. She was able to talk to it because Prometheus was always connected to the terminals of various shelters.

Prometheus did not answer Poria cocos, it believed that this was an unnecessary conversation.

Fuling was not angry either. She looked at the screen in front of her and continued talking.

"Mei actually connected the First God Key to you. It seems that she is very confident in you." Fuling said to herself, not caring whether Prometheus answered her.

Looking at the still unresponsive screen, Fuling smiled.

"Forget it, why are I telling you this?" Poria knew what Prometheus's final order was, so she also knew that Prometheus didn't care about what she said.

"Prometheus, please help me bring up CM-002, the energy source used by Alicia to make dolls." Fuling looked at the screen and said slowly.

[...]

A series of ellipses flashed across the screen, letting Fuling know that Prometheus agreed to her request.

After a while, Prometheus gave the answer.

[CM-002, the energy used by Alicia is fusion energy that was eliminated from the Armed Doll Project. Currently, various shelters do not reserve this energy. ]

The answer from Prometheus is clear, no.

Even though she was prepared, Fu Ling's eyes still dimmed a bit.

"What is the structure of fusion energy?" After a moment of silence, Poria asked the next question.

[Basic resources for fusion energy:...]

Ten minutes later, Fuling walked out of the shelter. She looked at the slowly closing passage behind her, wondering what she was thinking.

The passage was closed quickly, and soon it was back to the way it was when Poria came, a piece of grass.

"Huh." Taking one last look at the empty grass, Poria held up the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and walked slowly in the direction she came from.

The resources used for fusion energy, this new world, have not even been born yet.

Not to mention a hundred years, but even thousands of years, whether the world can derive those resources again is a question.

According to Prometheus, the fusion energy in Little Ellie's body has also entered a period of decline.

Moreover, even if resources are derived, there are no instruments and equipment that can produce energy.

In other words, right now, it's simply not possible.

Thinking of this, Fu Ling raised her hand.

"Powerful? Ha..."

Walking slowly in the pouring rain, Poria's slender body and the small oil-paper umbrella seemed so insignificant.

.........

Stepping on the familiar gravel road, Fuling's skirt was completely soaked, and her top was almost soaked by the rain.

"Xiao Ling!" A familiar voice came through the noisy rain, and Fu Ling keenly caught it.

"Hmm." Before Fuling could respond, a pink dumpling rushed into her arms.

"Where did you go? Do you know that I have been looking for you for a long time!" Little Aili grabbed Fuling's clothes, raised her head and said fiercely to Fuling.

"I'm sorry, it's just something that happened." After touching Little Aili's head, Fu Ling looked at Little Aili who was soaked all over and asked in turn.

"Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the house? Why did you run out on your own?" Poria patted Little Aili's head, with a hint of blame in her voice.

"Isn't it because Xiaoling hasn't come back for too long?" Xiao Aili asked in a voice that sounded a little angry.

"Okay, I apologize. Look, I'm back." Listening to Little Aili's words, Fu Ling smiled lightly.

"Come on, let's go back."

"╭(╯^╰)╮Huh! Xiaoling hugs me and goes!"

"Good~"

Chapter 268 Time Passes So Quickly

"Ta." The wooden arrow was nailed firmly to the wooden stake, and the tail of the arrow shook violently a few times.

More than ten meters away, Fu Ling put down the bow in her hand, looked at the broken string, and remained silent for a moment.

She didn't seem to be trying too hard.

........

Probably not.

With a slight sigh, Fu Ling put down the bow in her hand, looked at a few bow strings on hand that were also made of bamboo and wood silk, and finally picked up one to replace the broken string on the bow.

Fu Ling took out an arrow from the bamboo basket on one side and put it on the bow.

Hold the junction between the end of the arrow and the bowstring, and pull the bow hard.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound sounded, and Fuling looked down at the string that was broken again in her hand, falling into deep silence.

This time, the arrow didn't even shoot out, and the string broke.

Last time I at least shot the arrow before it broke, but this time it didn't even shoot out.

Fu Ling put down her bow and arrow helplessly and looked at the broken string.

This is definitely not her problem, it should be because the string's toughness is too poor.

"Let's soak it for one more night later." Picking up the remaining strings and bow, Fuling walked towards the wooden house.

Originally, she wanted to practice archery in her free time, otherwise she might forget how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow one day.

Looking at the simple wooden bow in her hand, Fuling hung it on the wall of the wooden house and went out with the strings again.

..........

"Where have you gone?" Looking at the foggy environment around her, Poria covered her head and suddenly felt a headache.

It suddenly became foggy this morning, and Little Aili suddenly said that she wanted to play hide-and-seek with her. Fu Ling agreed without thinking too much.

Only now did I realize that little Aili was just temporarily having fun, and it was basically a long-planned move.

Hidden so deeply, she has been looking for it for a long time.

Originally, Little Aili had found a very secluded place, and since it was a foggy weather, it would be quite difficult for Fuling to find Little Aili without cheating.

At the very least, she hasn't found any trace of little Ellie yet.

As for the footprints, they don't exist at all, because little Ellie flies.

Walking slowly, Fu Ling observed carefully, trying to find traces of little Aili.

Finally, she saw a white patch on a patch of grass.

"Ai Li?" Walking to the edge of the grass, Poria cocos gently pushed aside the grass and saw...

A snow-white rabbit...

"...Excuse me." Fu Ling let go of her hand grabbing the grass, stood up, and walked silently in the other direction.

And not long after Fuling left, a pink-haired figure emerged from the grass.

"Oh, it was such a close call, I almost got discovered." Little Aili wiped the non-existent sweat on her head and let out a long breath.

"Thank you, little rabbit." Little Ellie said with a smile as she reached out and touched the rabbit that had just helped her escape the disaster.

"Xiao Ling probably won't come back for the time being. I can sleep peacefully for a while." Little Aili touched the rabbit's soft hair and said to herself.

Slowly lying on her side on the ground, little Aili blinked and yawned slowly.

"I'm going to sleep, little rabbit, goodbye." After patting the rabbit's head, little Ellie slowly closed her eyes and entered sleep mode.

The little rabbit looked at Little Ellie on the ground, shook his ears, and then stayed by Little Ellie's side for a while before jumping away.

And a woman in white also appeared here again.

.........

Fu Ling looked at the sleeping little Ai Li in front of her and slowly knelt down on the ground.

She picked up little Ellie's body and put her on her lap.

The surrounding fog has begun to slowly dissipate, and the sun finally penetrates the thick fog and shines on the earth again.

Feeling the warm temperature brought by the sun, Fuling lowered her eyes slightly.

How could she really not see little Aili hiding there?

However, she also knew that little Aili's energy had begun to run out, how long it could last... I'm afraid only little Aili herself knew.

Little Aili may have proposed this hide-and-seek game for fun at first, but now it is to hide from her sight and sleep to save energy.

Looking up at the sky, Poria sighed slowly.

Holding little Aili in her arms, Fu Ling just sat there quietly, without words or other movements.

When little Ai Li woke up from hibernation, she found herself in Fu Ling's arms.

"Xiao Ling? When did you find me?" Xiao Aili yawned gracefully and stretched.

"I just found her a while ago. I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't call you." Fuling looked at the little Ai Li who had woken up and said to her calmly.

"Hmm...well, I was found by Xiaoling." Xiao Aili looked at Fu Ling's normal face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was not found.

"Well, Ai Li lost, so today's dinner..." Fu Ling looked at her with a smile, still talking about the outcome they had already agreed on.

"I know, I know, just leave it to me." Hearing Fu Ling say this, little Aili was completely relieved.

It seems that my disguise was quite successful.

Little Ai Li slowly flew up and pulled Poria's long hair that was dragging on the ground.

"Xiao Ling, get up quickly. Look, your hair has been dragged to the ground." Xiao Aili said dissatisfiedly, obviously unhappy with Fu Ling's behavior of not taking care of her hair.

"Okay, I'm up." Looking at little Aili's appearance, Fuling could only stand up from the ground.

"Let's go home! We've had enough fun today." Little Aili flew ahead, not forgetting to turn back and talk to Fuling.

"Ai Li, how old is this year?" Fu Ling looked at little Ai Li and asked slowly.

"Huh? It's the year 426." Although little Aili was a little confused as to why Fuling asked this, she still answered Fuling.

"420 six years...time flies so fast."
