Wasteland Garbage Planet 56: Seventh Lifetime of Togetherness~

The small village that Themis once relied on is quite similar to the Ika Village where Xiaoxi met in the Western Fantasy World.

It is close to the mountains and the river, with beautiful scenery and a small population.

However, thanks to the fact that this planet has joined the tourist planet, there are a lot more foreign tourists here.

With the help of official agencies, the village built a three-story hotel. The overall style is similar to the surrounding brick houses. It looks a bit rough on the outside, but it is clean inside.

Xie Yunsui and Ximis asked for a room, and the host was a young village official.

"Just one room? The beds we've prepared are limited by the space, and most are only about 1.2 meters wide. If two people sleep in it, it might be a bit crowded."

After all, it is not a major tourist attraction, and the village does not have much funding. In order to save as much as possible and accommodate more tourists, the original plan to build six rooms on one floor was compressed into eight rooms.

"One room." Xie Yunsui insisted.

I'm disappointed that the official WeChat account of Xiaocun is untraceable. If there were two rooms, we could have earned more money from the room fees.

"Okay, the first room on the left on the third floor. Keep your room card..."

Xie Yunsui and his companions didn't have much luggage, so they didn't go upstairs. Seeing that it was still early, they asked the village official, "What activities are there here?"

The village official shuddered and perked up. "We have beautiful scenery here, and the air in the mountains behind us is especially fresh in the mornings. You two could get up early and go hiking, get some exercise... well, breathe some fresh air."

He looked at the two men's physiques and felt that they might not need to climb mountains to exercise.

He continued, "There's a big pond at the entrance of the village. Now is the season for fishing and catching wax gourds. That family also does cooking. The fish you just caught can be cooked right away. You can enjoy a fresh meal. There's an orchard to the west of the village... and in the bamboo forest to the south, you can dig bamboo shoots..."

After a quick listen, I found that there are still quite a few attractions worth visiting.

Xie Yunsui planned to walk slowly from south to north, and Ximis had no objection.

"I didn't expect the old house to be rebuilt into a hotel. Then the things we left in the old house should have been disposed of."

Themis sighed. They had decided to live a good life here. They went up the mountain to chop wood and sell it every day, and went to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots to make money. They saved up a lot of property.

It is said that there is a rule here that one has to return to the bride's parents' home three days after getting married. For Aqiao, they specially cleaned up the house and bought a lot of flashy home furnishings to serve as a storefront.

Although I didn't live here for long, I have left behind many beautiful memories.

However, the questioning at the wedding came suddenly, and they had no time to come back to pack their things, so they stole a spaceship and fled the planet.

Xie Yunsui said, "The people here seem very frugal. They definitely wouldn't waste the things you bought. Go back and look for them. Maybe they've reused them."

Themis felt that there was a greater chance that they would sell him for money.

"It's okay, it's been so long..."

Ximis was about to say that it didn't matter whether he could find it or not, when he suddenly felt that there was a familiar figure in the bamboo forest ahead.

Xie Yunsui followed his gaze and was also stunned: "Lina?"

Unexpectedly, she ran into acquaintances here. Lina was slightly surprised to see the two of them: "Are you here... for a trip?"

"Yeah, but what are you doing?"

Xie Yunsui looked at the bamboo shoots on the ground and the two full bamboo baskets.

Lina picked up bamboo shoots and put them into the third bamboo basket while saying, "My brother and I have settled here. I now run errands for people to make money. Travelers in the town heard that there is a bamboo forest here and want to eat fresh bamboo shoots. They pay me to come and dig them. I run fast, so I can make three times a day from this business."

"Klaus is here too?" Themis' expression faded.

Lina hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "You crushed the bones in his limbs, but it wasn't fatal. The medical cabin could have cured him, but he was only halfway healed. He can still live a basic life, but he can't hold a gun anymore, and his mobility is not as good as before, so he retired from the Punisher Army. He didn't return to his hometown, but came here with all his savings. He now lives in a small town. I didn't know he bought a house here a long time ago."

"He volunteers at the orphanage in this small town. The children there are all abandoned due to various illnesses or physical defects. They need attentive care. He... does a pretty good job."

"He would go to the town church to pray every morning, rain or shine."

"But his mental state is getting worse and worse. When there's nothing to do, he'll just stare blankly at home. I asked him about it, but he wouldn't say anything... I feel like he won't live long."

She pursed her lips, "Do you want to meet Klaus?"

The sound of the door opening made Klaus come to his senses and stand up.

"I'm back, I'm going to cook."

After opening the door, Lina turned on the light first, driving away the darkness in the room: “Brother, I brought a guest.”

"Oh, okay, I'll cook some more dishes." Klaus responded without any emotion and walked from the sofa in the living room to the kitchen.

It seems like he doesn't care who his sister brings home.

Xie Yunsui said in a friendly manner: "Long time no see, Klaus."

Klaus suddenly stopped and turned towards the living room door like a rusty robot.

Then he met Themis' eyes, feeling neither sad nor happy.

But seeing Themis in his and Ajo's wedding room was like being stripped naked and standing in the People's Square. Klaus was filled with shame and guilt.

Almost instantly, he remembered that in the same position, he and Themis had promised to be good to Aqiao for the rest of their lives.

"I, I'm going to cook. What do you want to eat? There are still a lot of ingredients in the kitchen. I'll make some more..."

Klaus avoided the sight and went into the kitchen.

Themis said, "No need. I don't want to eat with you."

Klaus stopped and lowered his head. After a long pause, he asked, "Are you here to beat me up again to vent your anger on her?"

Themis really wanted to beat him up. He had this disease that made him want to beat Klaus whenever he saw him.

But he knew that Klaus might not be able to withstand a kick or a punch from him.

The man in front of me was so thin that he looked unrecognizable. If he didn't have the job of taking care of orphans, he would probably be unshaven and look terrible.

In fact, his eyes were lifeless and he was as stunned as a puppet. He felt that he had no desire for anything in this world.

Klaus has been dwelling on the past, repeatedly dreaming about the wedding scene, wondering what the outcome would have been if he had chosen a different path.

It seemed that every ending would be bright, but he chose the worst one.

Regret washed over him, and he could hardly hold on any longer.

If he were beaten to death by Themis, perhaps he would feel better before dying.

However, Ximis didn't want to dirty his hands anymore, so he said calmly, "Before the hotel in Yuanhe Village was renovated, are the things in the old house still there?"

Klaus was slow to respond. "Yes, I moved it here. It's in the storage room on the second floor."

Ximis found a blessing painting created by more than 20 people in the storage room. This was the only proof of the existence of the companions who had walked out together.

Lina, who hadn't spoken since she brought the man into the house, came up and stood by the door.

Lina whispered, "When we were on the spaceship, I didn't care how you treated Klaus. I wouldn't have thought twice about killing him then, because I'd never gotten along with him. He was my brother in name only, and I didn't have any feelings for him. But we've been together day and night for the past two years, and he's been very good to me. It seems like having a brother isn't bad, so I just... don't want him to die."

"Themis, I know this request is rude, but...can you let him live a few more years?"

Xie Yunsui turned to look at her: "He is depressed. If you want him to live, take him to see a doctor."

"He doesn't want to leave here." Lina smiled, but the corners of her mouth turned down: "Please, Themis, I just found my brother."

Themis did not say whether he agreed or not, but before leaving he said:

"Aqiao planted a peach tree on the hill behind Yuanhe Village. I wonder if it has grown yet."

On the way back to Yuanhe Village, Ximis was unhappy.

Xie Yunsui thought of several funny jokes to appease him but failed.

Finally, he sighed and said, "I should have known not to go see him. I don't care whether he lives or dies."

Themis reacted a little: "I'm not doing this for Klaus."

"I know, you just feel sorry for Lina because she is also a cyborg."

Themis: "Because we are all cannon fodder. Without Klaus, there would be others. Without the Punishers, there would be other Star Marines. Everything is done to exacerbate the conflict between the Cyborgs and the Federation Army. Before you came, I always encountered life and death. If you really want to talk about it, you should blame me for taking them out of the institute."

Xie Yunsui grabbed his face and said, "What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with you. Blame those rubbish from the research institute for capturing you for experiments. We've already eliminated them. Okay, stop thinking about it."

Ximis smiled and said, "No, it's my fate to always be cannon fodder. Speaking of which, where will you go in the next world?"

Xie Yunsui paused, and said without hiding anything: "I'm going to Samsung World."

"Three stars?" Themis asked, "Has the difficulty increased?"

"Xiao Wan reminded me that there are beings in the Samsung world that transcend the rules, and the mortality rate is high. It should be particularly difficult."

As for the predicament, Xie Yunsui had Xiao Wan, Tiantian, Youyou and countless magical instruments and treasures to protect him. He was not worried that he would not be able to survive, but he was afraid that with Xiaoxi's cannon fodder nature, something would happen to him before he could find him.

But he couldn't let Xiaoxi take his treasures away.

"It doesn't matter if I have those treasures or not. It would be great if I could keep the memories of this world. Themis's fighting ability is very strong. Even if there is a crisis, I can get through it."

Xie Yunsui was excited: "After this world ends, I will immediately jump to the next world. Will your memory not be cleared in time before you start a new mission?"

“…”

Themis suddenly asked, "Why do I follow you in every world?"

Xie Yunsui looked at the ring on his left ring finger: "Because of this?"

Ximis thought that in every previous world, Xie Yunsui would watch him die before moving on to the next world.

When he takes his last breath, does that mean he leaves this world?

Themis said hesitantly, "If you leave this world while I'm still alive and light up a new one, will I suddenly follow you to the next world?"

“It’s risky.”

Xie Yunsui shook his head. After all, no world had ever tried this before.

And the next world is Samsung. If something goes wrong, the consequences... Xie Yunsui trembled. He couldn't bear the consequences.

"How about I choose a two-star in the next world, just as a preliminary experiment..."

Themis interrupted: "Don't you want to go back to your native world?"

Xie Yunsui: "..."

"Don't worry, even if I lose my memory again, I can hold on until you find me. Besides, the Three Star World isn't necessarily a life-or-death struggle, right?"

-----------------------

The author has something to say: This is the end of this world~ There are still more than a hundred years before the two of them end the world, so they can't do experiments right away.

The next world is an infinite secret house, mainly for business, with a low copy ratio. Going to the copy means making friends with the small copy boss and taking some things from friends. Xiao Xie does not have a KPI for passing the level.
