Time in a collapsing world

"Captain, what did Dr. Mei say?"

When Kevin hung up the phone, Hen immediately stepped forward and asked.

Kevin shook his head and just said: "Gather at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Also, throw away this camera. It's no longer needed."

"Huh? Oh... what about Captain Alicia's share?"

"There's no need to give it to her."

"Okay..." His captain said so, Hen had no choice but to comply, but he suddenly felt someone poked his waist. When he turned around, he saw it was Kosmo.

"What's wrong?" Hen quite liked this taciturn junior. At least he could play with his daughter instead of playing with his daughter like that guy Li.

"...This camera is mine."

"..." Hen glanced at Kevin's back speechlessly and sighed, "I'll give it back to you."

"……Thanks."

……

At dusk, at the entrance of the orphanage.

"..."

Qianjie opened the door half-open, looking at Li and Alicia standing outside, and didn't know whether to let them in.

"Why is she here again?" Without avoiding Alicia, Qianjie looked at Li and asked directly.

"I'm just here to deliver Li, I'll be leaving soon~?" Before Li could answer, Alicia took the lead and said, "By the way, this must be the second time we meet, right? My name is Alicia , Li’s...boss? Please take care of me~? "

Qianjie was silent for a moment, then reluctantly said his name politely: "Qianjie."

Zhen only said one name. Anyway, this woman is just Li's boss, not his, so there is no need to get closer.

"Hmm~ It seems that this little brother is very cold~?" Alicia was not dissatisfied because of Qianjie's cold attitude. She turned to look at Li, "Li, don't forget, come and report to me tomorrow. ~?"

"I know, I know~" Li waved her hand. Alicia repeated this sentence to him countless times on the way back. After all the formalities for joining the team were completed, could he still run away?

"Well~ I'll leave then~ Don't forget it tomorrow~?"

Alicia said it one last time before leaving.

"Li."

"What's wrong, Qianjie?"

"It seems like your job is quite hard."

"It's good to know."

When Alicia was no longer visible, Qianjie let Li in.

"Where are Aponya and Pado?"

"In the kitchen."

Li's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she said in horror: "You asked them to cook?!"

"No, they just bought some fruits and borrowed kitchen knives." Qianjie sneered, "Do you think I would easily let a layman take charge of our dinner?"

He has been a chef for a long time and has developed a certain level of professionalism.

"That's good..." Li breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know about Pado, but the taste of Apponia's cooking was definitely not something that mortals like them could withstand.

Qianjie probably doesn’t know yet, right? Before he came, he had always been the one in charge of cooking, Aponya... She cooked it once, and Li almost went to play cards with the Lord of Hell after tasting it.

"Qianjie, anyway, after I leave you, you just need to remember that you must not let Aponya enter the kitchen!"

"...Are you going to die?" Qianjie discovered the blind spot and couldn't help but frown and stare at Li.

"..." Li was stuck for a moment, and realized that what she just said was slightly ambiguous, but this was not the reason why Qianjie casually cursed himself to death!

"I will definitely strangle you to death before I die~!" Li Li raised his fist towards Qianjie in a demonstrative manner. With his strength soaring, he was now fearless!

"I'm just going to live outside. Death? Ha, at least I will never die before I finish enjoying life."

"Tsk, speak more clearly next time, it will make me worry in vain."

"There's something wrong with your own brain circuit... huh? Are you worried?" Li seemed to have heard some outrageous words, and couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

"……nothing."

"Hehehehe~"

"I told you it's nothing!"

Qianjie became angry from shame.

……

At the dinner table, Aponya and Pado looked at the bruises on Li's face curiously, and then looked at Qianjie who was quickly picking up the food. They didn't know how Li made him angry.

Li tilted his head slightly and avoided the eyes of the two people. He was now a little doubtful about life.

Why? He has obviously been strengthened, so why can't he defeat Thousand Tribulations under normal circumstances? Did Mebius inject water during the operation?

Fortunately, Aponya and Pado were only slightly curious and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. Anyway, as long as they knew that Li had been beaten by Qianjie again.

It's just that Li seemed to be less injured this time?

After the meal, Li drove the children back to their rooms, leaving only three adults.

"Li, do you have something to say?" Aponya tilted his head and asked.

"Yes." Li took out most of the remaining money on his body and gave it to Aponia, "I found a new job and I will report there tomorrow. Food and accommodation are included. It's just a monthly salary payment. So you guys I’ll hold on to it for a while first, and I’ll send it to you when my salary arrives next month.”

"Does this mean you won't come back starting tomorrow?" Aponya lowered his eyes slightly, looking a little reluctant.

"I will come back, but not every day." Li comforted, and then looked at Paduo, but found that she had nothing to explain to this tenacious cat.

"...Forget it, I've put all the snacks I've hidden under the bed. If you want to eat, you can get them yourself."

"Brother Li, I have known about this for a long time, and I have gone to get it many times..." Pado said weakly.

"..."

Huh ~ don’t be angry.

"Come to my room tonight and ask for your help if I need anything." Li finally said, not wanting to look at this little thief again, and finally turned his attention to Qianjie.

"What are you doing? Do you really have to give an explanation to everyone? It's not about life and death, so don't be so sensational." Qianjie Jianli looked at him and crossed his arms, "Besides, I don't need your explanation, I can Take good care of yourself."

He didn't want to either, but just in case.

After Alicia's popular science, Li already knew how high the death rate of Fire Chaser's soldiers was. Fighting against Honkai, he was now exchanging lives for money. If he was not careful, he would die without a whole body, even if he Very strong.

Therefore, last words, wills and funeral arrangements should be prepared as early as possible~

"You have to take good care of the children during my absence. Unless I send news or a year or two pass, don't let them go out." Ignoring Qianjie's words, Li explained to himself. .

"... Got it." Qianjie was very concerned about the safety of the children, so after Li's solemn explanation, he reluctantly agreed.
