Chapter 2184 You At That Time
In the courtyard, [Cicero] did not directly respond to [Z]'s words, but waved forward instead.

In the fairyland-like courtyard, a pavilion suddenly rose from the ground... This is some kind of image, just a reality.

[Z] subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it, but the palm passed through directly.

In the pavilion, there was a girl sitting in a wheelchair... The girl's hair was also silver-gray, but dull and lacklustre—it was more likely due to dryness.

"This is?" [Z] subconsciously approached the wheelchair girl, looking at her face.

However, the girl's eyes were also dull.

"Gaia." [Cicero] came to [Z], and said slowly: "To be precise, it is Gaia on the eve of destruction. At this time, Gaia's physical condition is already very bad, and most of the The time is not awake. But even so, the only time she is awake every day, she will ask to do one thing."

"what."

"Wait for someone." [Cicero] said softly, "he is here."

[Z] Hearing this, he frowned, but he seemed to feel his side. He turned around and saw a young man not far away... a young man was running fast at this time.

There was even a book in the boy's arms... He passed through [Z]'s body and came to the wheelchair girl in no time.

She who was originally lifeless, suddenly looked like a blooming epiphyllum, and the girl's complexion suddenly became colorful.

Even though this is just a reflection, the entire courtyard seems to be glowing with a different kind of vitality because of the appearance of this smile... A most primitive breath of "alive" gradually permeates.

I saw the young man caressing the girl's head affectionately, whispering something in the girl's ear, and then sitting directly on the ground, opened the book in his hand, and began to read the contents of the book.

"For Miss Gaia, being able to wait for his arrival every day and hear him tell a story is already her most precious and luxurious request." 【Cicero】The voice is like the bell of an old clock tower "On the eve of destruction, she gave all her waking hours to this boy."

"He is..." [Z] trembled: "Me?"

The pavilion in front of me suddenly spread out like a cloud of smoke, and then gathered again... On the grass in the courtyard, another scene appeared again at this time.

……

……

It is still the boy holding the book, and the other one is a man with long silver hair like [Cicero]—no, maybe this is the real Dr. Cicero, because he looks more mature .

"You want to stop the development of [Eternal Power]? Why?"

"If this continues, Gaia will die!"

"The whole world is also facing extinction." The silver-haired man shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, as the heir to the empire, I hope you can understand."

"Could it be that the burden of the whole world must be placed on her... and we, like vampires, can only live by sucking her life?"

"It's not that the burden of the world is on her, it's just that fate chose her...she has such abilities." The silver-haired man said softly again: "The sad thing is, as humans, we have no way , separate her from this ability."

"Uncle Cicero... I beg you!"

"It's useless for you to beg me." The man shook his head again, "This is His Majesty's order, and no one can disobey His Majesty's order."

The young man said angrily: "There is no such thing as [eternal power], all of this is just a lie... Your research has not made any progress at all! I know...you and your father made it up and deceived the whole world." Lies of the world!"

The silver-haired man sighed and said, "It's precisely because it's a lie that we need to keep lying. If the time comes, even if we know it's a lie, we can only force ourselves to believe it."

"Extremely ridiculous!" The young man roared, "Cicero! As the heir to the empire, I order you to immediately stop the extraction of Gaia's bone marrow, stop the research on [Eternal Power], and... announce the truth to the public!"

"Forgive me, Your Highness."

"I am the crown prince of the empire! I am the future emperor!"

"But you are not yet the emperor."

"One day..."

"Wait for the day you can have it first." The silver-haired man looked at the weak young man in front of him, and said in a solemn voice, "If I can wait for the day you become the emperor...you must become the emperor of the empire!"

——You must become the emperor of the empire!

……

……

The voice seemed to be still lingering in my ears, but the scene in front of 【Z】had changed once again—it was still the boy, and the other one at this time was Miss Gamma.

The young man seemed to be a little more mature... a mature demeanor.

They were standing on a high platform at this moment, looking at something.

Miss Gamma said: "Your Highness, the time Gaia can wake up these days is getting less and less... She probably won't be able to wake up today depending on the situation, why don't you go back first."

"Where else can I go back?" The young man smiled bitterly, "Go back to that cold palace... Do you know what the servants in the palace said. As long as it is close to His Majesty, it seems to be careless." Falling into the extremely low cold makes people shudder."

"Your Majesty has too many things to worry about."

"I know, I know everything." The boy shook his head, "But I... am not the emperor yet."

"Your Highness..."

Suddenly, the boy stretched out his hand to grab Miss Gamma's palm, and pulled Miss Gamma directly into his arms—the boy actually violated this mature body like a beast.

Until, Miss Gamma bit the boy's lip, and pushed him away vigorously——she raised her palm, and she was about to slap the boy, but she raised her palm halfway, but failed to hit him in the end.

"Let's fight... Otherwise, you may not even have the chance to fight in the future." The young man said quietly: "Anyway, in the eyes of my father, I am just a mating tool. Starting tomorrow, there will be a large number of The woman who was sent to me... You seem to be on the list too, Sister Gamma."

Gamma just clenched the torn neckline tightly, and the half-raised palm finally just caressed the young man's face, "Now you, can you feel a little bit of the weight on Gaia's body. What she shoulders is the illusory future of human beings, and what you want to carry is the continuation of the human fire... Aren't you the same?"

"Gamma..."

"You don't only have Gaia in your eyes." Gamma lowered her head, "There are also many people waiting for you silently."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, "If it starts tomorrow, I hope you will choose me first. At that time. I... will not resist."

……

……

The smoke changed again... starting from the distant Miss Gamma.

Seeing Miss Gamma's disappearing back, [Z]'s expression changed a little... He hesitated and asked: "This kind of emotion, in human books, seems to be described as... like?"

"Human books?" [Cicero] glanced at [Z] in surprise, then nodded: "It seems that waking up after a long wait has caused you to lose too much...Of course, I have no right to say you, after all, I am a purer rational structure than you."

[Z] shook his head, not only disagreeing, but also unable to understand.

【Cicero】At this time, he said: "As for Miss Gamma, in my memory, her feelings for His Highness may be stronger than her liking."

"why?"

"Probably because she was instilled in her childhood to become the spouse of the heir of the empire... She has been working hard for this goal."

【Z】After being silent for a moment, he slowly said: "What else do you want to show me?"

"Don't worry." [Cicero] smiled slightly at this moment: "There's a lot of time... I still have some follow-ups about [Tomorrow], restricted-rated ones, do you want to watch them? Guaranteed to be exciting!"

[Z] looked at [Cicero] in front of him blankly, "[Tomorrow], in fact, nothing happened."

"How do you know?" [Cicero] couldn't help showing surprise.

[Z] said indifferently: "From my observation of Gamma, she has no experience in mating, and she has been learning about it recently, which is enough to prove that it has never happened before. And That is... mating is for the continuation of human beings, but the outside world is still destroyed, that is to say, it does not change the fact that human beings are destroyed—or, before it can be carried out, the destruction has come... Finally, the real Dr. Cicero, is he also so bad-natured?"

"Perhaps when I was creating, there was some element of artistic processing?" [Cicero] smiled slightly, "That's right, [tomorrow] did not come. Destruction, came earlier than anyone expected, and then Everyone was caught off guard, and the entire world was wiped out overnight. A deadly substance began to appear in the air, and people would die within a minute after inhaling it. Even if they wore it Ventilators, but the subsequent catastrophes have pushed human beings to the point where they can no longer survive."

"Then me?"

[Cicero] Waved again, and the dispersed mist condensed again.

【Z】At this time, I saw Dr. Cicero again.

Compared with before, the boy looked much haggard.

"Your Highness, have you really decided... You have to know that unless you can wake up Gaia again in the distant future, otherwise, all this will become irreversible." The silver-haired man sighed: "You, Maybe you have to bear the loneliness and despair of the whole world... Loneliness, maybe it will swallow you up."

"Let's get started." The boy said very directly: "At least, in the distant future, I still have the hope of seeing her again. And..."

He looked at the boy, as if he could clearly see what the boy was really thinking at this time.

And the young man didn't seem to disappoint him, and said softly: "Uncle Cicero, you said that even if the world is destroyed and turned into nothingness, Gaia will still exist... Her consciousness will exist. But The world is gone, so am I? This is the only way I can think of, to be able to accompany her in the worst situation... Even if, waiting for me is a deep sleep that I don’t know how long , I don’t know how long it will be alone. Besides, aren’t you guys planning this... the survivor plan. I can agree, probably you, and the emperor would also like to see it.”

"The glory of the empire is with you." The silver-haired man suddenly knelt down in front of the boy, and said loudly: "The glory of civilization is with you too...my highness."

……

……

"You are the reason for existence." When the fog dissipated, [Cicero] said slowly: "Of course, after you were transformed, His Majesty also ordered again, using you as a prototype to create a [Cicero] Z] series of multiple biochemical transformations. It's just that the transformations didn't survive the erosion of the world, and in the end only you can exist... I think part of this is probably due to Gaia's will."

"What's wrong with you?" [Z] asked coldly.

"Me?" [Cicero] stared blankly, then looked at himself.

I saw that its body was slightly distorted at this moment... The projected body actually began to become unstable——suddenly, 【Cicero】raised his head.

But at this time, the sky in the courtyard suddenly opened a hole, and then a big shadow fell from above.

coax--!
The falling sound was unusually loud, one could imagine that the weight of the falling thing was not light.

[Z] His gaze was fixed, and then he ran directly to the place where it fell—his dynamic vision was enough for him to capture the whole picture of the object that fell.

It's Kaz!
……

On the ground, there was a deep pit several meters wide - and only Katz, who was covered in iron armor, could get up unscathed and easily get up after falling to the ground and smashing such a big pit.

When [Z] arrived at the scene, Iron Man Katz was cleaning up the dirt on his body.

"Kaz?" [Z] went straight to Le Kaz's side with a little surprise, "How did you find this place?"

"I went back to the station square that day and couldn't see you, so I waited there." Katz said quickly, "But I waited for a long time, but I couldn't wait for you, so I had to look around. Then, I saw When I arrived at the mark left by [Sunny] on the road, I found this place all the way. I don’t know what’s going on with this place, it’s like a maze, as I walked, I fell down!”

[Z] showed a smile, stretched out his hand, patted the dirt that Katz couldn't reach, and said softly: "It's great to see you."

"Yeah!" Katz sighed, "I thought I would never see you again."

"Be careful--!"

A startled voice suddenly sounded—this is the voice of [Cicero]—and its projection appeared on the side in an instant.

[Z] showed astonishment on his face, but lowered his head—his body, the position of his abdominal cavity, had been directly pierced by Katz's palm at this moment.

"Caz?"

"So why did you let me see you?"

At this moment, the voice of the man in the iron armor suddenly became sharp... It seemed to be a woman's voice.
