Reborn One Week Before the Apocalypse

Chapter 311: Chapter 301: The Real World

”Are you okay?”

After seeing that group of people off, Tang Mo walked over to Xiao Fei, who was leaning against Mumu with his eyes closed, not saying a word.

Ever since Bo Niou had turned into countless points of light and scattered into the air, Xiao Fei hadn’t spoken a single word.

Tang Mo squatted down, took Xiao Fei’s hand, and began to heal him with her spiritual power.

Because she had merged with the Life Energy Pearl and absorbed a large amount of the rainbow-colored Life Force from the sky, Tang Mo found that her healing had become much more proficient.

The energy she channeled into his body wasn’t just spiritual power; it was also mixed with a portion of Life Force, making the entire healing process go even more smoothly.

Fortunately, although Xiao Fei looked severely injured, none of his vital organs had been harmed.

His internal organs had actually started bleeding from being repeatedly slammed around, but with Tang Mo’s current healing abilities, as long as he had a single breath left in him, she could bring him back to life.

The entire healing process was very quick. Soon, Xiao Fei was completely unharmed, aside from the frightening-looking bloodstains.

”The energy of this door is slowly weakening. I guess it can only last for another hour at most. Whether you want to stay or go, you should decide as soon as possible.”

The door appeared because of a specific catalyst; it wouldn’t exist forever.

If you wait for it to disappear and then try to wait for the next door to appear, it won’t be an easy task.

As for the elderly people who were with Hu Bin before, there was no need to even ask. The peaceful life here was thousands, even tens of thousands of times better for them than the bloody and cruel life outside. They would never leave.

”I’m not leaving. This world may not be exactly what I expected, but at least it can be changed through effort. As long as it can be changed, there’s hope. I believe that through my efforts, this world will get better, little by little.”

For a world peace lover like Hu Bin, even though he wasn’t entirely satisfied with this place, after experiencing the Rule Day, he had developed a sense of shared hardship and hope for everything here.

Tang Mo nodded. ’It’s good for Mr. Hu to stay here,’ she thought. ’This place is thousands, even tens of thousands of times better than the Apocalypse Garbage Dump.’

”What about you, Xiao Fei?”

With Mr. Hu staying here, Tang Mo was no longer worried about Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo was a young girl with low attributes, so the apocalyptic environment was not the best choice for her.

But the child was smart. With her intelligence and Mr. Hu’s care, she would definitely live well here.

As for Xiao Fei...

Bo Niou had died in this world. She wasn’t sure if Xiao Fei would want to stay in this place of sorrow.

If Xiao Fei wanted to leave, she could take him back to S Base and entrust him to Lin Yu. Tang Mo rather admired such a loyal and righteous child.

Xiao Fei kept his head down and didn’t speak for a long time. Tang Mo and Hu Bin didn’t rush him, simply staying by his side.

They had both tasted the bitterness of losing someone dear, so at this moment, they could completely understand how Xiao Fei felt.

As the three of them stood in silence, a small puppy came running happily from the distance on its short little legs.

The closer it ran, the more excitedly it wagged its tail, as if it recognized the three of them. Without any hesitation, it plunged right into Xiao Fei’s arms.

When the puppy got closer, Tang Mo finally saw it clearly. ’Isn’t that a golden retriever puppy?’

Bo Niou had been an adult golden retriever.

’Could it be?’

Feeling a small, furry ball nuzzling against him, Xiao Fei was forced to lift his head. A ball of golden fur filled his vision.

”Bo Niou?”

Xiao Fei couldn’t quite believe his eyes and rubbed them again.

”Bo Niou?!”

Xiao Fei cried out in shock.

He had raised Bo Niou since she was a puppy. He knew exactly what she looked like when she was little, and this golden retriever pup was a perfect match.

’Did Bo Niou get reborn?’

Hearing the name ”Bo Niou,” the little golden retriever’s tail wagged even more furiously, as if in response.

”BANG!”

Xiao Fei made a gun shape with one hand and ”shot” at the puppy.

Hearing the sound, the puppy fell to the ground on cue, rolled over once, and then looked at Xiao Fei out of the corner of its eye.

”It’s Bo Niou! It’s really her! Bo Niou is back!”

In that instant, tears streamed down Xiao Fei’s face. He hugged the little golden retriever tightly, and the puppy, extremely excited, licked his face with its tongue.

Tang Mo and Hu Bin looked at each other, neither knowing how such a magical thing could happen in this world.

But they had seen even more magical things. What else could possibly surprise them?

This was perhaps the best possible ending.

If Bo Niou hadn’t died, she would be over ten years old this year and wouldn’t have lived much longer.

But now, Bo Niou had become a puppy again and could stay with Xiao Fei for another ten-plus years, giving the boy immense warmth and strength.

In the end, Tang Mo stepped into the ”door” alone.

Xiao Fei said that this world now had not only Bo Niou, but also countless other small animals that Bo Niou had transformed into. He couldn’t leave.

He wanted to stay here and live a good life with Bo Niou and all of them.

”Actually, I know you all thought this was an Illusion Realm when you first arrived. But people here are happy. What difference does it make if it’s real or fake? And what makes you so sure that the apocalyptic world is the real one? Maybe the real world ceased to exist the moment the world changed.”

Xiao Fei said this to her before she left.

Tang Mo didn’t think too much about it. ’People only live for a few decades anyway,’ she mused. ’Who cares if it’s real or fake? As long as you can live, and live as well as possible, that’s enough.’

Philosophers are born from worlds of despair, not worlds of cruelty. In a cruel world, there are only people who want to survive.

When Tang Mo returned to the cave, there was no one there.

’Zhang Chao and Qin Fen must have decided long ago that there was no real treasure here and went back early to avoid wasting any more time.’

’Then again, they had been out for quite a while.’

’No treasure?’

A smile touched the corners of Tang Mo’s lips.

On this trip to the Garbage Dump, Tang Mo had been the one who gained the most.

An entire tunnel’s worth of High-level Crystal Stones was piled up in her Space. She had also merged with the Life Energy Pearl, something she hadn’t found the opportunity to do until now. On top of that, she had absorbed the rainbow-colored Life Force in that other world, causing her healing abilities to advance by leaps and bounds.

Furthermore, this battle was the first time Tang Mo had truly fought with all her might. During the fight, she had absorbed countless abnormal treasures and Crystal Stones, leading to an almost unimaginable increase in her attribute values.

In other words, when the ranking board updated tonight, Tang Mo’s attribute values would absolutely shock the entire world.

’All in all, I’ve now merged with two pearls. Only three left.’

Thinking about the three remaining pearls, Tang Mo was extremely satisfied with this trip to the Apocalypse Garbage Dump.
