For the past fifty years, Nomi Anderson Goussette has walked between the outside world and the Shikoku Gap.

She had seen the out-of-town inhabitants who had remained hospitable after 20 years of war, showing her, a foreigner, a dilapidated machine gun and bazooka.

She had seen warlords who forced the people of the colonies to grow hallucinogenic addictive crops in order to make huge profits, and after she cut off their necks, she threw their corpses to wild dogs for food.

The most indifferent, the most passionate, the most gentle, the most cruel - the world is colorful, and if it can tolerate beauty, it must tolerate ugliness, and this is all part of nature.

Everything was logical. ’

During this long march, Nomi's height grew from less than 1.6 meters at the beginning. She began to exercise and learn, and became stronger than the frost-plated women who claimed to be 'persecuted by the male gaze' but were more dependent on men and society for sustenance.

The muscles gradually developed, and there were well-defined abdominal muscles on the belly, from the white and thin fake Lori, to a one-meter-eighty-seven, straight-blooded girl.

Then, after the age of 30, the times changed dramatically.

The first is that after Davilyn's reforms, the first citizens grew up.

The new citizen, also known as the 'undifferentiated citizen', was born entirely for the needs of the country and society, and each person was born after precise screening by AI, and was adjusted for a long time by genetic culture and surgical enhancement.

Their quality is much better than that of the frost-plated men and women of the past era, and under the creditist society, there is no unemployment and poverty, although this has also led to frequent spiritual famine and even loss of motivation among people, but under the strongman intervention of President Davilyn, the creditist spirit of the trinity of 'state-enterprise-worker' has temporarily become the pillar of people's faith.

Nomi thought this was a good thing at first.

Because most importantly, there are no more differences between men and women.

In order to completely eliminate the difference between men and women, Davilin's eldest son, that is, the Minister of Finance, painstakingly designed the productivity standard, no longer using simple money, official positions, and assets to measure the value of people, but using the efficiency and ability of productivity creation to completely circumvent all this.

Under the productivity standard, the whole society no longer has corruption, but this is not a good thing.

Because without corruption, no one wants to be involved in bureaucratic management positions that are expensive to learn, difficult to operate, and no longer respected, and corporations are not a substitute for the government, especially if they are not willing to go into debt to maintain public utilities.

From the very beginning of the implementation of this regulation, the Frost Plating Federation has long been in a situation of lack of reliable bureaucracy.

Davilyn's solution is to use AI bureaucracy and big data refereeing, but this approach completely obliterates the humanity of ordinary people at the grassroots level.

It is difficult for people to compete with heaven and earth, and Davilyn transforms people into a sophisticated machine called frost plating, which is controlled and operated by Davilyn.

Duzersin was the first to be disillusioned with the Nation of Machines.

Obviously from the dragon's work, a high-ranking federal meritorious hero, in the face of the country to become like this, the Minister of Machinery Du Zexin was completely heartbroken about the former idol, and even turned into hatred, and left the outside world alone.

Soon after, Nomi left her home country disappointed, even if it was the new federation that she and her family and compatriots had worked so hard to obtain.

Nomi walked in the outside world, began to collect all kinds of books to read, went to Gurant to work as a factory worker, participated in anti-terrorist operations, got a college diploma, and even went to remote areas to teach.

Fifty years is a long time, enough to turn little Lori into a girl, and then train the girl into a hot-blooded and righteous heroine, and then transform the heroine into a solid and down-to-earth labor worker, and let the solid worker put down the screwdriver and pick up the book to read.

In her early years, she was used to having long hair, and pursued some novel and exciting hairstyles, such as curly hair, exploding heads, and gradients.

After the age of thirty, her enthusiasm gradually subsided, and she began to braid her hair, and then to shave her head as a worker, then to a flat head, then to short hair, and now to this casual and loose hairstyle.

Her appearance is very slow, her aunt died five years ago, and her father followed after half a year, and she is only in her early thirties now, her comrades-in-arms of the same age, and some of her grandchildren have made soy sauce, and she is still alone.

However, even if the Frost Plating Federation is not good in a thousand ways, at least it has completely changed people's concepts, the family is no longer the most important existence, and Nomi also knows that his genes have also been included in the national gene pool, and he may have the most genetically matched offspring somewhere.

However, she occasionally fantasizes: If she finds that life-saving benefactor, if the other party is still a cute boy, will there be a good story?

- But there is no room for fantasy in reality.

Kill a warlord and a new warlord will be born among the civilians saved. Robbing the rich and giving to the poor will only create more poverty and lazy people.

There is no end to the suffering of the outside world, and neither the use of violent sanctions nor the cutting of flesh to relieve hunger can eliminate this state of affairs in the outside world.

The only way out is to defeat the entropy king and defeat nature.

She gradually accepted this, from the immaturity and innocence of youth, to the passionate separation of youth, to the sobriety and sadness of middle age, and then to the numbness of prime.

Human beings have a limited threshold for happiness, as long as they are happy all the time, they will become bored and bored, and there will be a threshold for suffering to suffer, and suffering is destined to become numb and tired after seeing it a hundred times.

Nomi Anderson Gousset's time pressed the pause button.

Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat again and again.

Tragedy kept happening, but her heart was no longer as excited as it had been at the beginning, and she even questioned her immortality.

It's good to be dead, and there's no need to worry about it when you're dead.

Except for being sorry for the person who saved him - but what if the other person is dead?

She had walked almost all over the outside world, and could not find any trace of the other party, and if this was not a third-rate or romantic fairy tale or something, then he/she was probably dead.

So, she gradually became indifferent, and she no longer pursued the figure who saved her in the first place.

She left the outside world, returned to the embrace of the motherland, and served as a cell, an insignificant and important cell of this society.

Everything went according to plan until the world was destroyed.

The shadow of the Entropy King was majestic and rushed from the high heavens, destroying all the efforts of the people on earth in an instant.

For fifty years, people have been working hard to build dungeons, nuclear bomb the sky, and fight against the end of nature - still destruction.

The long night never ends.

In that case, maybe it would be fine. ’

Nomi thought of this for a moment.

'Finally able to die.' ’

In the face of the Apostle of the Entropy King, she was able to stand calmly and die, and that was enough.

However, fate is simply a little devil who loves to play tricks.

"You've grown taller, little one."

Just when she decided to give up everything and die, the sun appeared.

The red-haired girl unleashed compassion and pity, and the gentleness that was not annoying at all immediately completely enveloped the glutinous rice.

At this moment, Nomi felt the infinite warmth of the petite body in her arms, and a strange and familiar feeling arose.

She didn't know how to respond to the girl's concern, her stiff muscles gradually revived in the arms of the Virgin, her face thawed, and she smiled for the first time in a long time, and gently took the girl's head and embraced it into her solid bosom.

"Well, I've grown up."

Fifty years ago, tall and petite girls roamed the world and lived a journey that no one remembered.

Fifty years later, she is still a tall figure and a petite girl, still in the outside world, and no one still remembers this picture that is not enough to be recorded in any history books.

Nomi doesn't know the identity of the red-haired girl, and the lost memories are like the lost data, this is the reality, and there will be no memories recovered because of the touching scenes.

But, because this is the reality, Nomi is very grateful for this scene.

"Thank you, true gods......"

Nomi let go of her embrace, her hands on her knees, she wanted to ask the other person's identity, after so many years, she had never really expressed her gratitude to the other person for saving her, and even almost lost the joy of living.

But now, seeing the girl's red hair and beautiful red gold eyes, Nomi suddenly felt that this world is not very bad.

She opened her mouth, the world in front of her gradually blurred, Nomi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at the girl standing in front of her, and said:

"You've saved me again, and I'm so grateful to you—thank you."

The girl nodded, looked at her, and said she was listening to her quietly.

However, after saying this, Nomi fell silent.

What else could she say?

In fact, after so many years, Nomi no longer knows what he is chasing, and the people around him are leaving one after another, constantly resurrecting and forgetting, and maybe it won't be long before even his own memories are forgotten.

"What was I thinking?"

So, she smiled, and then took the girl's hands:

"My long-cherished wish has been fully fulfilled, and I have no regrets about being able to achieve this."

"Don't you ask my name?"

The red-haired girl asked calmly:

"Maybe we won't see each other again."

"That's not for sure, who knows what the future holds."

Nomi rubbed the burn scar on her forehead and grinned, revealing her still sharp teeth:

"You'd better stop telling me your name so I'm motivated to live."

"Do you live to ask my name?"

The girl tilted her head, and her red gold eyes flickered slightly.

"No way, I thought about it, except for this scar, I may end up forgetting everything, and I can't die, as long as this immortal blood in my body still exists, I may not be able to die."

Nomi shrugged:

"At the end of the day, I've been through so much death and have risen from it over and over again...... I'm probably more afraid of living aimlessly and losing my memory than I am of dying. ”

"It seems that not everyone wants to live forever." The girl looked at the power of the [Plunder] Dao Path wrapped around the other party's body, and always felt quite discordant, so she sighed: "If your pattern can be heard by the main god of the Dao (Red King), I wonder what He will think?" He's a madman who is completely chasing eternity. ”

"Is the dream of a god necessarily greater than that of mortals?"

Nomi crossed his waist with one hand and said casually:

"I'm proud to be human. By now, my goals have been fully achieved, and for me, rather than being a god or uploading an immortal cyber ghost to the network of consciousness, I would rather go to the world of the dead and find my relatives and friends. ”

"Really? But as long as it's a living thing, it's all chasing immortality and immortality. ”

"So isn't it cool to choose to die calmly?"

Nomi grinned:

"I said, this stunning beauty, you were able to save me in the first place, and now you can repel the Entropy King, there should be a way to end my eternal life, right?"

“…… Is this your choice? ”

The red-haired girl looked at each other and confirmed:

"If you ask so, then I'll tell you: I can."

"—you really want to take my life!"

Nomi grimaced, stuck out his tongue, and laughed:

"When I ask your name later, you can take my life."

She glanced at the distant horizon, where the red and black clouds were still rolling, and she said meaningfully:

"You have more people to save than I do. I also intend to take action and use my humble abilities to save the world. ”

"I'm not obligated to save them." The red-haired girl said calmly.

"It's not a question of obligation, it's about being able to do it."

Nomi cupped the girl's cheek and pinched the other party's lovely face, and her purple eyes and red gold pupils were on the spot:

"You can do that, can you?"

The red-haired girl's eyes rippled, and she looked up and looked at Nomi in surprise.

【Ao Neng ...... Is my soul alive in hers? 】

She pursed the corners of her mouth, closed her eyes, and said:

"Nope."

"Yes...... Nomi's eyes darkened: "Also, it's too difficult to force you to fight against Entropy-kun-"

"—not a 'stunning beauty'."

Nomi was stunned, she raised her head, and saw that the red-haired girl's hair was pulled up by the long wind, and the sun shone on her body, but it was not as eye-catching as her existence.

"You didn't call me this."

The girl raised her hand:

"A thoughtful little beauty."

She bowed slightly:

"Call this again, Nomi."

[I can understand Nomi's feelings, she has endured too much pain in the past, and after being resurrected again, she has satisfied all her regrets, so she forcibly left a regret for herself - otherwise, Nomi Anderson Gursett really has no motivation to live. 】

As a friend, as a comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side, as the first real partner after coming to this world, and a partner who helped him integrate into this world, he didn't want the other party to die from the bottom of his heart.
