Chapter 35 Half a life is mostly a bad name
"Everyone is dead, and now there are only creatures on Earth that have been assimilated by the Tree of Life except for humanoid monsters like meβah, now there's one more ...... you"
Wu Ming couldn't imagine whether the feeling of the last human when he left this world alone was despair and pain, or unwilling anger at the flying disaster, or the feeling of finally ushering in relief after a long period of suffering, but at this moment, when he saw the masked boy twitching the corners of his mouth trying to make a smile that would not scare people, Wu Ming could vaguely understand that feeling.
Maybe it's because of loneliness.
The long-term loneliness has made the masked boy forget a lot of things, he can't remember how long he has lived alone, he can't remember how long he hasn't seen anyone again, he can't even forget his name, and the clothes on his body are so rotten that he can't wear them anymore, so he goes to the ruins of the city to find a piece of fabric that is large enough to wrap around his body, and he can't find it to continue to wander around in this rag - in fact, if it weren't for the last bit of persistence in human civilization in the heart of the masked boy, He is no longer mortal, even without clothes, he can continue to survive on this extinct planet.
It is precisely because of this that Wu Ming feels that it is really an incredible thing that the masked boy can communicate with him fluently now.
"You...... Remember what your name was? After listening to the masked boy's narration, Wu Ming was a little worried that he had been paralyzed by the long lonely time, afraid that he would even forget who he was with the demise of the human race and the passage of time, so that even if Wu Ming wanted to bring him back to human society (not to mention the difficulty and difficulties he faced in doing so), he might not be able to integrate into normal human society again.
"My surname is Qi...... ...... name? The masked boy was silent and thought for a long time, in fact, just as the former feared, he had almost forgotten who he was, and he seemed to rack his brains to pull out the distant memories that had been blurred and warm for a long time: "Ah, I know about things, and I can distinguish between right and wrong. Mom and Dad used to tell me that...... It is said that my name is one word from each of the two words of Gewu Zhizhi and distinguishing between right and wrong......"
"My name is ...... Ziegfeld. β
Wu Ming's face changed suddenly, he now felt that most of the reason why the masked boy was now alone was because of this broken name!
"That's all I have to explain." Ziegfei got up from the ground and let out a long breath, as if the story just now made the boulder that had been pressing on his heart fall to the ground, and for the first time in a long time, he realized that even if he just said what was in his heart, even if there was no way to change the current situation, his mood could be unexpectedly relaxed: "I don't know who called you to come to this world, but it's a pity that there are no creatures on this planet that can be saved by you......"
Wu Ming was a little speechless and didn't know what to say for a while, he knew that his talent when he was comforting people with his broken mouth was simply outrageously low, and in this situation, he couldn't think of any other words of comfort except for comforting Ziegfei and saying 'everything will be fine'.
"Hello dear passengers, due to weather conditions, the delay effect caused by this transmission has begun to be repaired, the coordinates of the event have been recalibrated successfully, you will be teleported to the terminal of this flight after five seconds to count, please take care of your belongings and stand firm to meet the transfer, and finally I wish you a happy journey! Countdown: 5, 4, 3 ......"
- it?! What the hell?!
"Wait! I'll definitely come back to save you! β
"Teleportation begins!"
After the sound of the director in his ears ended, the countdown of the mechanical synthesized sound sounded, because there were too many slots in the service language of the public transportation that I don't know how many public transportations were strung on, plus the countdown to the beginning of the teleportation was approaching, Wu Ming didn't even have time to explain to Qi Gefei what was going on, and he only had time to hold down the black iron sword to stop him from taking the sword and leaving, and before he could finish the second half of this sentence, Wu Ming was shrouded in a dazzling bright light that appeared for a while.
After the bright light in front of Wu Ming's eyes subsided, he had already shouted the second half of the unfinished words and returned to his familiar living room.
The first thing Wu Ming saw was Elizabeth, who was squatting in front of him and didn't know what he was doing, and was startled by his sudden appearance, who was stunned for a few seconds after seeing Wu Ming, and then screamed and threw herself on him.
"Wow!! Big brother, you're finally back to do justice to me! I'm about to be bullied to death by that scrap metal! β
Wu Ming was stunned here, and the thinking circuit had not yet completed the switch from the end of the wasteland to the warm little home, and Elizabeth pounced on him before he could dodge, and then the stupid Nizi with the power thief strangled him with his hand, almost strangling Wu Ming directly.
"Nonsense! It's nothing! Elizabeth's babbling movement also alarmed Zhao Xida in the kitchen, she wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen, while broadcasting the crimes committed by the former in the past few hours: "The individual named Elizabeth tried to leave my surveillance twelve times after the disappearance of the manager Wu Ming, tried to approach the ordinary people in a coma seven times, shouted why the eldest brother hasn't come back yet, I am hungry and want to eat fifteen times, and tried to steal the precious ingredients in the refrigerator three times......"
"I wanted to go to my big brother!" Elizabeth said with a stalk of her head and a little bit of momentum, obviously she was much bolder after Wu Ming came back, not only did she not feel that there was anything wrong with her series of actions, but she began to fight back against Zhao Xida as if she had found a backer: "Besides, it's your fault that I turned over the refrigerator!" Who told you to keep me from having a snack just started! β
At this time, Wu Ming, who finally switched back the thinking circuit, interjected: "I think Lao Zhao is right not to let you eat snacks before meals......"
"Huh...... Is that so? Hmm, since the eldest brother has said so, then I won't eat snacks before meals in the future......" Elizabeth looked at Wu Ming in astonishment and concentrated her attention for about a second to admit her mistake, and then she was distracted by something else: "Big brother, big brother! Actually, there's one thing I've wanted to ask since the beginning. β
Zhao Xida also nodded, indicating that she also had questions to ask.
Wu Ming looked at the puzzled looks of the two and thought that they were going to ask what they had experienced when they disappeared: "What's the matter?" β
"Manager Wu Ming, what's the matter with that big sword in your hand?" "Big brother, what's that black door panel under your left hand?"
The two of them asked in unison.
Wu Ming, who was confused, followed the line of sight of the two to the left, and a black iron sword with some sand on it was lying quietly on the floor of his house by his left hand.
"Mom! How did you bring this thing back! β
