"Wait!"
Just as [Z] was about to touch the woman in the cylindrical cabin, Remia suddenly stopped him and said quickly, "Why don't we be more careful? After all, we don't know what's going on. "
[Z] stopped when he heard that.
But very quickly, the chest of the woman in the cabin suddenly rose and fell, as if she was stimulated by an electric current … The woman suddenly opened her eyes and took a deep breath.
She seemed to have woken up but soon fainted and fell out of the cylindrical cabin.
[Z] was quick to catch the woman … After a while, Remia walked closer and asked hesitantly, "What happened to her?"
"Her vital signs are low but …" [Z] looked at Remia and blinked. "She's still alive."
Alive!
Remia's heart skipped a beat. Being alive … meant many things.
"[Z], are you inside? I'm coming in. "
At this moment, Bluebird's voice came from outside … In the next moment, a small figure flew in and landed on [Z]'s shoulder. "I saw a few people who looked like Remia outside … Eh, why is there one here?"
…
In the secret underground room of the vault, [Z] wasn't in a hurry to take action after learning from Bluebird that there were new strangers in the ruined city. Instead, he started taking care of the woman who walked out of the cylindrical cabin.
The woman's breathing gradually stabilized. In [Z]'s words, her vital signs were returning to normal, but she was still weak.
Remia asked him what was the basis of his judgment and how he knew … but [Z] didn't explain. He only said that he knew and that was all.
Bluebird was sent out to follow the three strangers. Remia finally realized that [Z]'s tour group had always had a clear division of labor.
The members of the tour group each had their own advantages and abilities … Bluebird was obviously very suitable to be the scout of the group. It could observe everything from the sky and discover many unknowns.
She suddenly had a thought.
Back then, [Z] had come into contact with her and saved her from the freezing cold … Did he already know about her existence and only came to contact her after observing her for a while?
If that was the case, then …
"Remia."
"Ah … wh-what?"
"She's about to wake up," [Z] suddenly said.
The unknown woman was wearing a jacket which was taken off by [Z]. This woman's clothes were too thin … At this moment, under the gazes of the two people, the woman's eyes moved slightly and opened again.
She seemed to be unable to adapt and tried several times … After a while, she finally opened her eyes completely.
"You … are …" She said weakly.
"[Z]," [Z] introduced himself. "This is Remia, our current partner."
"[Z]? Remia … "The woman was stunned. She struggled in [Z]'s arms and seemed to want to stand up.
[Z] helped her up, and the woman began to look around the secret underground room.
At this time, the woman whispered, "[Z] … Help, help me to the front."
[Z] seemed to be in a daze but quickly reacted. He supported the woman beside him and slowly moved to the side of the equipment in the secret room.
Remia frowned. Although the woman's voice was weak, her tone sounded as if she was giving a natural order.
The woman came to the side of the equipment and found a screen on the dusty panel. She pressed her palm on it … But after pressing it, a line of words flashed on the screen.
The woman was absent-minded for a long time before she said with a bitter smile, "How long has it been … I, I actually used up all the energy here."
[Z] and Remia exchanged glances. Remia frowned subconsciously. "May I know what you mean?"
The woman sized up Remia as though she was thinking about something … Suddenly, she reached out her hand and wanted to touch Remia's body.
"What are you doing?" Remia instinctively took two steps back.
The woman said, "I don't mean any harm. I just want to confirm … Trust me."
Remia hesitated for a moment before reaching out her hand … The woman flipped Remia's hand away. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Where did you wake up?"
"What do you mean by where did I wake up?" Remia was confused.
The woman said, "You don't know me?"
Remia shook her head. How could she possibly know all the people in this world, let alone know — she had seen everything in her life before. She was a resident of the Free City!
"What about the past?" The woman asked again. "How much do you know about the past? Before this world was destroyed. "
Remia shook her head. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. This is not where I originally came from. Because of an accident, after I woke up, I suddenly appeared here. I only feel fear and strangeness towards everything here. "
"I see …" The woman nodded. She pondered for a moment before nodding. "I'm afraid that the long hibernation caused some problems in your memory and caused you to lose your memories before the apocalypse. But it doesn't matter. It might be a good thing that you can't remember such a terrifying thing. "
"I … I still don't understand what you're talking about." Remia took a deep breath. "Also, who are you? Why do you seem to know a lot of things?"
The woman laughed self-deprecatingly. "How can I not know … As a survivor before the end of civilization, of course I know everything."
"Survivor?"
"My name is Gamma." The woman said softly. "Don't worry, I will tell you everything … After all, you are different from [Z]. You are the same as me. In this world, there aren't many humans left. "
"What exactly are you …"
…
…
This was a world where technology was developing too fast. This also caused the rapid depletion of various resources that humans relied on to survive.
The energy crisis caused humans to turn their attention to a new energy source called [Eternal Motive Power].
But even Remia, who was self-admitted as a bad student, knew one thing — Eternal Motive Power did not exist.
However, before the world was destroyed, humans had placed all their hopes on [Eternal Motive Power]. And the one in charge of this research was the world's largest company.
This woman who had awakened from the underground secret room and called herself Gamma was the successor of this company.
"My father, Cicero, is the person with the highest achievements in the new energy source research. The research of the [Eternal Motion] has even reached a critical moment, and humanity is about to usher in a new life … "Gamma sighed at this time." Until the night before the [Eternal Motion] was activated, my father suddenly told me that all of this was just a scam. "
"A scam?" Remia heard this and was slightly speechless. She muttered, "A lie …"
"That's right. It's a lie to deceive the entire world." Gamma nodded lightly. "Moreover, it's a lie that a small group of higher-ups wanted to buy time for themselves and stabilize all of humanity. Basically, there is no such thing as [Eternal Motive Power]. The world has come to an end. There is no way for humans to save all of this. The only way for the world to be reborn is the purification function of the world itself … I can't resist my father's arrangement for me. He put me in a special hibernation chamber. When the world is reborn, I can wake up … There should be a group of people like me. Of course, the humans who can be preserved as seeds are all selected. "
"And then?"
"According to our research at that time, the world will experience several drastic changes. The land and sea will change, and then it will enter a long ice age. When all traces of humans are erased, new organisms will appear." Gamma sighed slowly. "But we are not sure how long this time will be … But, Remia, you woke up earlier than me. You should know more about the outside world than I do. Can you share information with me? "
Remia opened her mouth … She was not the so-called survivor Gamma spoke of!
But …
"Of course." Gamma couldn't help but laugh at herself. "I'm no longer the young miss of the company. I can't give you anything in return. But, for the sake of the same human. "
Remia was silent for a moment before she slowly said, "I can't remember a lot of things about the past … I, I didn't wake up for long, about three or four weeks. After waking up, the first thing I met was [Z]. "
"It's okay." Gamma said comfortingly, "It will get better slowly. Before putting me into frozen dormancy, my father had already imagined the worst situation … [Z], tell me, are the seeds in your body still in a normal state? "
[Z] blinked. He was indifferent to Gamma's question and even revealed an inquiring gaze. "The meaning is unclear. I can explain it more specifically."
Gamma muttered, "[Z], how much do you know about yourself?"
"I don't have any memories of when I was young." [Z] thought for a moment and said, "When I started to record my memories, I was only half of Remia's height."
Gamma bit her nails. "Perhaps there's a problem with your memory system. It's a pity that I don't have a suitable tool on hand, so I can't help you repair it for the time being."
[Z] said, "You can … find my memories from the past?"
"As long as the chip in the memory center in the brain is not completely dead, it can be easily repaired. This is not a difficult thing. "Gamma nodded and then smiled bitterly." I'm talking about before the destruction of civilization. Now … I don't know if I can find a suitable tool. "
"What kind of tool?" [Z] said quickly and then turned over his bag. "Is there anything suitable here?"
A large pile of things was poured out in an instant … There were all kinds of strange things, and they were all small items.
These were the [Treasures] that [Z] had collected during his travels.
This guy was like a ragpicker … Remia glanced at them and lost interest in them.
"I need equipment, not these." Gamma pointed helplessly at the things in the secret room. "I need a lot of machines like this to be able to take out some parts and put together what I need. I also need energy … Perhaps, if there's energy, this hibernation room can be modified."
"Okay." [Z] said directly. "Let's start searching now."
Gamma said, "Don't worry, you can't eat fatty in one bite. Actually, we need more people now … Perhaps, I should wake up the other survivors. "
"How many survivors are there?" Remia suddenly asked.
"I don't know the specific name list." Gamma thought for a moment and said, "But there should be some in this city … If possible, I want to go to the headquarters of the company. I should be able to find more useful things there. Perhaps the headquarters of the company can still operate. After all, there's an independent energy pool in the company. "
"Energy pool?"
"It's a semi-finished product of [Eternal Motive Power]." Gamma thought for a moment and said.
"But didn't you say that [Eternal Motive Power] is just a lie?" Remia asked in confusion.
"Even if it's just a lie, I still need to give it my all." Gamma said with a complicated expression: "In the end, who doesn't want a lie to come true … my father spent his entire life trying to realize this lie."
"If they're still alive, we just found a few of them" [Z] suddenly said: "They seem to be heading towards the center of this city."
"Are there any survivors who have woken up?" Gamma was a bit surprised.
[Z] nodded: "I'll take you to them."
…
…
Walking on the snow-covered road was a very difficult thing to do — — the snow in this ruined city wasn't very thick, but it was still almost up to their calves.
"Why is this broken place so big? How far have we walked? "
[Yu Liya] gasped for breath — — - the main reason was because she still had to carry Celia, so the situation was very bad.
"We can't keep walking." Medanzo frowned: "We need to find a place to resist the cold, otherwise, we'll freeze to death on the road."
After coming to this place from the Wraith realm, they didn't even have any clothes to resist the cold.
"There's a place over there that used to be a building … it shouldn't be a problem to block the wind." [Yu Liya] pointed at a certain spot in front of them.
Very quickly, they climbed into the building through a broken window — — - the building was already tilted, and the main door was buried under the snow.
"From the looks of it, this looks like an office." [Yu Liya] quickly looked around: "Something that can be used to start a fire … something to start a fire … I got it!"
She hurriedly ran to a corner, took down a hanging painting, and knocked on it. "This looks like it's made of wood, but I don't know how it was made, it hasn't rotted yet. It's a bit of a shame to burn it like this."
"It would be a real shame if we died in this place ~" Medanzo lightly said: "Don't you want your beautiful world in the future?"
"Come, senpai! It's time for me to show you the traditional art of starting a fire! "[Yu Liya] immediately became spirited.
She threw the hanging painting to the ground, then picked up the broken piece of wood — — Medanzo picked up the paper inside the painting frame and looked at it.
"A landscape painting?" [Yu Liya] moved closer to take a look.
The main reason was that when she took it down, the mirror of the painting frame was already covered in dust, so she couldn't see the content at all.
"It's a portrait of a woman, it's quite pretty" Medanzo clicked her tongue and commented.
"Huh?" [Yu Liya] couldn't help but blink. "This looks like … Miss Long?"
"What Miss Long?" Medanzo looked at [Yu Liya] in confusion, then pointed at a paragraph of text at the bottom of the painting. "What's written here is' Miss Gamma ', alright?"
Gamma?
[Yu Liya] couldn't help but open her mouth wide. Perhaps … it's just similar?
But it seems to be too similar?
