Chapter 317 After the Great Battle

After the great battle, everything had settled down. Humanity had erected cranes around the Great Rift, and the cities utterly destroyed by the Klaxosaurs in the battle remained standing. The aftermath was unchanged. Around the remaining parts of the thirteen cities lay massive trenches, the handiwork of that colossal hand. The thirteen cities had suffered heavy losses in the conquest of the Great Rift.

The entire Thirteenth City, except for the central tower and pilot dormitory area, was destroyed. In truth, the Thirteenth City was merely an innocent bystander. The giant hand was simply there to destroy the massive core of the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur. And that Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur just happened to be near the Thirteenth City; just like that, inexplicably, the city was utterly decimated.

Although Jing Chen used two layers of protective shields at the critical moment to save the central position, the circular glass dome covering the dormitory area was also smashed with a large hole. Furthermore, many trees in the surrounding woods had lost all their leaves, becoming withered trees. A small bird perched on a withered branch, looking around. No matter how things changed, it remained that carefree, free bird.

In Zero Two's room, Zero Two sat facing the back of a chair, holding a mirror in her left hand and something resembling a file in her right. Upon closer inspection, it seemed she was trimming her horns. Zero Two looked in the mirror, carefully smoothing her horns, then looked at herself and smiled with satisfaction.

Zero Two's horns are no longer the frightening ones they used to be; instead, they've been trimmed into the small, cute shape they used to have. Zero Two's personality also seems to have become much more lively and cheerful than before…

Inside the mobile air fortress, the "fathers" were analyzing the post-war situation. One of them said, "Of the previous battles, about 60% of the operators survived."

"Was blowing up the entire large ecological fortress a bit too much?"

"No problem. Humans are now in control of the Great Rift, and the construction of the Spirit Ship is in its final stages."

"The time is approaching. Two people have already been sent to 'that place,' and this is the final ultimatum. Two keys aren't needed; which side will the Klaxosaur Princess choose?"

……

Although the Thirteenth City has been destroyed, all the members of the Thirteenth Squad still live there, and they have only one order: stand by. They have been on standby for a month. During this month, every time, Aki would run to the glass enclosure, holding a pair of binoculars and constantly looking around, hoping that "Dads" would come to them. However, this past month has ended in disappointment.

Although only these children still live here, the city has been destroyed, the water supply system is no longer functioning properly, and of course, the electricity is no longer readily available. With the city gone, the servants who used to secretly help them with chores and other tasks will naturally disappear. In other words, they now have to rely on themselves.

In the courtyard, Tai was pulling a rope that was wrapped around a pillar in the corridor. He gritted his teeth, counted to two, and then pulled hard. A simple clothes rack, specially made for drying clothes, was ready. Now, whether it's washing or drying clothes, they have to do it themselves.

In the battle a month ago, Jing Chen had done his best. A month ago, due to time constraints, Jing Chen originally planned to fully recover his strength in the Hundred Flowers Garden before participating in the battle. However, no matter how the time flow was adjusted within the Hundred Flowers Garden, there simply wasn't enough time to fully recover. At that time, his strength was less than one ten-thousandth of what it used to be. Jing Chen had no choice but to leave seclusion early and use the divine sparks he had collected in the Douluo Continent to barely recover to one ten-thousandth of his strength. Even so, Jing Chen was still unconscious for several days due to the exhaustion of his divine power.

Xin was hanging clothes to dry in the dorm when Ling Er, carrying a frying pan and a spoon, walked into the yard and started banging them together. Wei Lai, standing on the balcony, watched Ling Er banging the pan below and said helplessly, "So noisy."

Xin also stepped out and looked at Ling Er below, saying, "It's her turn to help contact everyone this week."

"It seems so," Future said.

Goro walked to the office in the dormitory area and saw that the letter to Seven Sister and Hachi was still there on the steps. Goro picked it up and looked at it helplessly, sighed, put it in his bag, and carried all the food back to the dormitory.

Jingchen and Man were tasked with finding a drinking water source. At a pond in the woods, Man filled a glass, looked at it, and said, "This area doesn't seem suitable either."

Jing Chen squatted down, looked at the water in the pond, and said, "Hmm. However, as long as it's filtered, it can still be drunk as water."

He poured the water from his cup onto the grass and said, "But we have no idea how long this kind of emergency measure can last." Then he stood up and continued, "The circulatory system around here might stop working one day too."

"Yes, you're right, but if it really comes to that, I can still help." Jing Chen looked up at Man standing there and said.

Man turned around and glanced at Jing Chen, paused for a moment, and asked, "Are you really alright? You were unconscious for so long."

Jing Chen smiled. "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, I'm completely fine now."

Man's face flushed slightly, and she turned her head to the side. Suddenly, a sound came from behind them. They both turned around and saw it was Ling Er. Ling Er was standing next to a tree, holding a frying pan. Seeing them, Ling Er smiled slightly and said, "Found you! You two, it's time for lunch."

Inside the cafeteria, everyone was still eating happily, each doing their own thing, glancing at their plates with slight disdain and complaining. But there was nothing they could do; they had to do everything themselves. Ling Er and Jing Chen were in charge of pouring water for everyone, while Mei was serving rice. At this moment, Yu Nai walked into the cafeteria and asked Mei, "Need any help?"

Ichigo shook her head. "No need, it's okay. More importantly, has your fever subsided?"

Yu Nai smiled slightly and said, "It's been happening quite often lately."

As soon as Yu Nai finished speaking, Ling Er placed a hand on her shoulder. Yu Nai turned her head in confusion, and Ling Er cupped her face in his hands, their foreheads pressed tightly together. Ling Er closed his eyes and took Yu Nai's temperature. The people around them were shocked by this scene. In their minds, Ling Er was not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

"36.7 degrees Celsius, normal body temperature." Zero Two looked up and smiled at Ikuno, saying, "But don't push yourself too hard."

"Um... thank you." Ikuno was also taken aback.

Although things are not the same as before, everyone still prays before eating. However, before, only Ling Er did not pray, but now, Jing Chen has also done so.
