After this, the girls also learned about the situation of this world from Chihu and Yuri.

As far as they can remember, it has been snowing in this world. There would be sunny days occasionally, but the climate was always cold.

The food was also something you couldn't tell what it was, and most of the time we ate canned food and military rations.

As for animals and plants, they only appeared in books. For the two of them, the common scenes in daily life were the world covered with snow, the dilapidated city ruins, and the remains of various weapons.

"Then why did you go so high up?"

After listening to the two people's stories, Tida seemed incredible.

"It's very dangerous to be that high up, and many things here are already old. What if something happens? And there's obviously nothing up there?"

"...Yeah, there's nothing on it."

Hearing Tita's question, Qianhu sighed, but seemed not to intend to answer the question. Instead, Yuri beside her spoke with a smile.

"What does it matter? The important thing is to get up there. If possible, we want to continue our journey."

"Where are you going?"

"moon!"

Seeing Youli's hand pointing to the sky excitedly, everyone was speechless. At this time, Fang Zheng just chuckled.

"Okay, if you want to see the moon, go ahead and look at it."

"Hey? Mr. Fang Zheng?"

The girls were startled when they heard Fang Zheng's words, but Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"What does it matter? For us, isn't it easy to get the moon or the sun? Besides, it's rare for someone to have a wish come true, why don't you help? It's just a piece of cake anyway."

"That's no problem..."

Ling frowned, but finally nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the moon!"

“That’s great!”

Hearing this, Yuri immediately raised her hands excitedly, while Qianhu next to her shook her head.

"Really... thank you for your help."

"Nothing, it's really not a big deal for us."

Soon, the Lightning left the atmosphere and soon reached the lunar orbit.

"oh--!"

Lying in front of the window and looking at the moon outside, Qianhu and Yuri both exclaimed in surprise.

"The moon actually looks like this. There are holes everywhere on the outside. It doesn't look pretty at all."

"It looks even more desolate than Earth. Why would anyone want to come to a place like this?"

"Because I just found out how desolate this place is after I came here..."

Looking at the moon's surface outside the window, the two girls chatted with each other, while Ling and the others frowned and stared at the monitor - of course they saw the human base on the moon's surface. But as before, they did not detect any signs of life.

“Ah, there’s a building over there.”

At this moment, Yuli also discovered the base located in the moon crater and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Let's go over there and take a look."

Naturally, no one would refuse this.

Soon, the spaceship stopped near the base, and the girls put on their space suits, left the battleship with Yuri and Chihu, and went to the base to explore. Because of rescuing the two girls, Ling and Tita did not observe the world carefully before, but now that they have free time, they naturally want to see what the world has become and why it has become like this.

However... nothing was found.

This place is just like any other place, there is everything except life.

The energy has been exhausted, and the entire base is cold and dark. There is no sign of life. Even the traces of the existence of life are only notebooks and some stored data records. Apart from that, there is nothing that represents human beings, not even a bone or a hair. Things like these do not exist.

"It always feels... scary."

Walking in it, Tida seemed very uneasy. She looked around tremblingly. The cold metal buildings reflected their shadows, but nothing else could be seen. It was as if everyone in the base had disappeared. Although Tida had worked in Chase's research institute and Fangzheng's fully automated workshop before, she had never felt such alienation at that time.

In Tita's impression, guided machines are ultimately used by people, so she doesn't hate being surrounded by machines. But now, she feels as if she has mistakenly entered a territory she shouldn't have entered. The owner here is not a human, and there are no living creatures here. Only the cold, silent steel shows its presence here, as if they are the ultimate rulers.

The performance of the others was not much better. Theo said nothing, Ling also frowned, and only Altina seemed to be walking in front as usual, accompanied by Chihu and Yuri - this was not the first time they came to this type of place, and they had long been accustomed to this strange emptiness and loneliness.

In the end, everyone didn't find anything useful here, and everyone almost fled back to the battleship in a hurry... Only Qianhu was an exception. At this moment, the girl was happily holding a large cardboard box, which contained books she collected from the library of this base. Perhaps because they were to help the people on this base pass the time, these books ranged from fantasy novels to serious literature, so Qianhu happily searched the entire bookshelf and packed all the books back.

“It’s horrible.”

Returning to her seat, Tita still couldn't help but feel cold all over. In fact, the unmanned base itself was not that scary, but as long as she thought about the fact that their monitors had not found any signs of life on Earth and the Moon except for Chihu and Yuri, the feeling of extreme loneliness and emptiness suddenly came over her like a tide, almost overwhelming Tita.

"It's a pity that these two people have been able to persist until now."

Looking at Qianhu and Yuri not far away, Ling couldn't help but sigh.

"As for me, I'm afraid I can't stand this feeling at all. I have nothing but myself. I even doubt whether my existence still has value..."

"Brother Fang Zheng, our world won't become like that, will it?"

Tita looked at Fang Zheng uneasily, her eyes filled with fear. In fact, this was not surprising, Tita was also the granddaughter of a famous mechanics scholar in Liberl, and sometimes she would go to those ancient sites with her mother to investigate. At that time, for Tita, it just meant more mysteries and challenges, which made her very excited.

But today, after this "journey", Tida suddenly felt some fear deep in her heart.

The ancient monuments on the continent of Semlia were left behind hundreds or thousands of years ago, and the owners of them no longer exist. So what about our world? Will the world we live in one day become like this? The city is like a cold metal tomb, with no owner, no user, and even the traces of its existence are gone, leaving only the guided machinery... Will the present of the ancient Semlia people be our future?

One day, Liberl and Crossbell will become like this? No people, only ruins. But at that time, will anyone come to dig up their remains and look for proof of their existence? If Semria is also destroyed at that time, what is the meaning of these things left behind?

Thinking of this, Tida felt a chill.

In response to Tita's question, Fang Zheng smiled, reached out his hand, and gently touched her head.

"Don't worry so much. Aren't we working hard to avoid this now? You won't forget our purpose, will you?"

"Oh, that's right! Uh!!"

Hearing this, Tita's eyes suddenly lit up - yes, didn't they set out this time to find the culprit who destroyed these worlds? As long as the culprit was eliminated, their world would not become like this!

"I will try my best! I will never let Semlia become like this!"

Tita clenched her fists tightly and answered with shining eyes, while Theo turned her head and looked at Altina who was sitting quietly in her seat.

“But Ms. Altina is amazing. She really hasn’t wavered at all. It’s not surprising that Sister Yuri and Sister Chito have been living in this world for a long time, so they’ve gotten used to it. But Ms. Altina is not moved at all. It’s really admirable.”

Then, Theo couldn't help but sigh.

In Theo's opinion, Altina was about the same age as them, but she seemed more stable and calm, which made Theo a little envious. She was also very calm on weekdays, as if nothing could make her anxious - I didn't expect that Miss Altina would be such a determined girl. In terms of spirit, Altina was much more mature than them.

However, Theo didn't know that this was not the case.

"Boom boom boom."

That night, there was a knock on the door. Fang Zheng opened the door and saw Altina standing outside, staring at him.

"Hey, Altina, why don't you go to rest so late?"

“…”

In response to Fang Zheng's question, Altina did not say anything. Instead, she took a step forward, then stretched out her hands and hugged Fang Zheng's neck, and then her pale cherry lips pressed tightly against Fang Zheng's lips.

“Uh… um…”

With dull panting, the petite body clung to Fang Zheng's body as if it was about to melt completely. After an unknown amount of time, the two gradually separated.

"Instructor..."

At this moment, Altina looked at Fang Zheng with a look of heat and anxiety.

"I don't want to sleep alone tonight..."

By the way, what Theo didn't know was that Altina had matured not only mentally.
