Chapter 8

One of them is marked with human beings, which should be the boss, while the other one next to it is marked with...

"Ex-Machina?"

Gafan was stunned, what kind of strange combination is this?

"Aren't they fighting now?" Gafan asked doubtfully.

"No, this Ex-Machina seems to have been there from the beginning. He should have been protected by that brother when he faced the Flügel."

"Um, Xiongtai is a respectful title for peers. In the system, you can just continue to call people boss." After a slight correction, Gafan thought for a moment and remained silent for some reason. Then he asked again a little uneasily. , "So are there other Ex-Machina species within a radius of one hundred kilometers?"

His expression at this time was filled with inexplicable expectation.

Because, as far as he knew, this race would definitely move in groups and share consciousness, while in the original work, there was only one Ex-Machina that would be alone.

An existence that he had regretted while looking at the screen.

"Wow, you have so many demands." The system complained, but honestly expanded the search scope and investigated it carefully before replying.

"No, there are only those Flügels and Orcs who are retreating. They seemed to be beaten by the boss and then let go. None of them died. The others... eh, it seems that the boss is heading in the direction There is another human being.”

The system was stunned for a moment.

"It's strange, in this broken world, are there still human beings left alone in the wild?"

What the system didn't notice was that Gafan's current expression was very complicated.

Disbelief, surprise, surprise, doubt, relief, wanting to cry, and other miscellaneous emotions.

It's like putting a fan chart on your face.

The lone Ex-Machina, the Flügel attack, the humans who were alone, and the orcs that wandered in... Ahem, ignore this last one.

He seemed to know what the situation was and what time point the world was currently at.

It was when Hubi went out alone to arrange the remaining [traffic control] in order to prevent Rick's physical condition from getting worse. He leaked a small amount of elf power and was found by Jibril.

According to the original work, Hubie will die at this point in time.

But now this fact has changed.

Because of the variables he brings.

A big boss who had lost his way from the original world, was a bit ridiculously strong, and was probably on the lawful good side was passing by.

Hubby doesn't have to die.

"..."

For some reason, Gafan suddenly felt that his mood had become very good, so good that he didn't even know how to describe it in words. Even the feeling of being forced to suddenly come to the end of the world was diluted.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Hey, system, we should be able to go back."

"Eh? It's true or false. I'm not alone. I'm still young, so don't lie to me." The system was so shocked by the sudden good news that it started spinning in the mind of its good-for-nothing host.

"Really, really, but please wait for me quietly for a while."

Putting away the last clean wooden bowl in his hand, Gafan stood up and stretched out.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gafan." Croni, who was sitting next to her, smiled and patted...

He stood up and pouted and patted Gafan on the back hard: "You're really tall."

"It's okay, eldest sister, I'm only 1.85 meters tall." Gafan replied subconsciously.

Then I felt the force behind me getting heavier.

Well, his emotional intelligence doesn't seem to be very high, because the other party is the eldest sister, so Gafan is very serious about introspection.

But if the other party is the system, he is probably already thinking about how to fight back at this moment.

And the patting on the back soon stopped.

"By the way, Gafan, what did you want to do with me before?" Croni, who was already preparing to put away the washed dishes, asked curiously.

"Well, actually, I just wanted to ask my eldest sister for a 'transportation', but now I need my eldest sister's help to guide me the way. But before that, I want to give you something first, which is about. ....."

As he said that, Gafan turned his head and looked in the direction of the stone where he placed the drawings, and then...

Noticing her gaze, Nonna silently rerolled the drawings in her hands. A rare cute blush appeared on her face, and she looked a little pitiful and whispered.

"Yes, sorry."

Um, I was apologized to by a young girl.

Gafan, whose life experience has become a little richer, endured the strange sight of the elder sister next to him, sighed with a complicated mood and finished his next words.

"How can humans "boil water" more rationally?"

Chapter 10: The love of all the Ex-Machines

Above the boundless wilderness, a monster species that was hundreds of meters long and looked like an earthworm was wandering aimlessly.

It has no intelligence of its own and relies only on instinct to hunt to satisfy its own needs.

The tyrannical physical strength, adaptability and reproductive ability allow the demon species to survive without any hindrance even in this desolate world. They are everywhere on the continent.

It may be lurking in the ruins, it may be sleeping under the surface, or it may be instinctively disguised as a rockery that seems to be made of rocks in the ruins.

They do not have a unified racial form, and the upper and lower limits of individuals are also very different. If it is a demon king of the upper species, it is possible that he will try and have a collision with the Flügel, but what about the low-level individuals?

Well, it depends on your luck to live. After all, no matter which other race you encounter, you will die, except for food like humans.

And this demon species is extremely unlucky, because...

It was punched and exploded by "food".

"Bang!"

The pieces of flesh and bones that were completely smashed into pieces, mixed with filthy blood, exploded like a goddess scattering flowers, and were instantly blown away to an unknown place by the strong wind of the fist.

Saitama, who happened to be passing by, retracted his fist with a blank look on his face, and continued running on the flat and spacious land at an ordinary speed of three hundred meters per second, with Hugh holding his clothes tightly on his back. Compare.

"It turns out there are weirdos here too."

Saitama looked back at the place where the "big earthworm" evaporated, and said with a strange look on his face.

"But it's so weak. It doesn't even feel real when it comes to fighting. Those brats with wings and perverts with ears before were much stronger than this guy."

"Weird?" Hubie suddenly asked.

"It's that big earthworm. It's quite common where we live. You can see it almost every day when we go out for a walk. I didn't expect it to be found here too."

"Rejected, the name is wrong, that individual is a demon species."

Hubie retorted simply, then looked at the other party and suddenly asked curiously: "Question, Saitama, are you really a human?"

"Of course, I think they are all human, right?" Saitama, who was running, replied without looking back.

No, at least humans can't run like you, Hubby thought as his pupils contracted to calculate the current moving speed which was slightly slower than the speed of sound.

Only people like Rick are human.

"What about your flesh-colored armor?" Hubie curiously patted Saitama's bald head.

Saitama: "..."

This naughty kid.

"That's just pure skin. Don't take pictures. I don't want to think about who is running behind your back now."

"Eh? It turns out that humans can become bald at this age. The database is being updated."

"Hey! Just take care of me, or I'll throw you down!"

"Rejected, it is judged to be a lie. Rick said that words with this tone will not be acted upon, and I can also feel that Saitama will not do that, with a human's 'heart'."

"...I feel like the way you speak is a bit weird." Saitama showed a helpless expression. He really couldn't throw an injured "child" to the ground.

"By the way, how far is the guardian you mentioned from here?"

"According to calculations, we are already halfway through the journey. Also, Rick is not the guardian, we are husband and wife." Hubie puffed up his mouth for the first time, and patted Saitama's bald head with some emotion and daringly.

If the previous orcs had seen this scene, they would probably be so frightened that their hair would explode.

Um, isn't that perverted, attacking such a young child or something?

Saitama, who ignored being patted on the head again, was already hesitant to give the opponent a light punch when the time came.

"By the way, Saitama, why don't you fly? It feels much faster this way."

"What are you talking about? How can humans fly?" Saitama turned around in surprise.

"...What about spatial movement?"

"What the hell is that???" Saitama's face became even more stunned.

It seemed like the other party was talking about some fantastic things.

Hubby: OAO?

You can kill a Flügel with one punch, but then you tell her that she still can’t fly or move in space?

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

After a period of data confusion, Hubi spoke again.

"Saitama, I have another question."

"You really have a lot of questions, so just ask them. There's nothing to do on the road now anyway."

"Well...why did you let those Flügels and Orcs go?" Hubi hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question.

But Saitama looked confused when he heard this, and it took him a while to realize.

"Oh, you were talking about those guys with wings and ears before. What, are you going to kill them?"

"No, I don't want to." Hubie shook his head.

According to Rick's covenant, no one is allowed to die, and she herself is now beginning to reject killing. Although the reason is unclear, she feels that this behavior should be wrong.

When she was fighting Jibril before, she also deliberately avoided the opponent's vital points.

"I see, then your question is quite strange. Of course I don't want to either." Saitama said matter-of-factly. "Because we are all 'human beings'."

Even if the other party has strange things like wings and ears.

But in his world, this happens a lot because of the existence of weirdos.

As for Saitama, he has his own judgment on the positioning of 'people', and it has nothing to do with anyone else's opinions.

Because that's what he thought, and that was enough.

"..."

Hubi had a dull expression on her face. She always felt that the person the other party was talking about did not mean the same thing as the person recorded in her database.

Don't understand.

Hubie was a little tired as he lay down on Saitama's sadness and gave up thinking.

Then don't think about it. Rick said that there are some things that she can't understand now, so she doesn't need to worry too much. As long as she experiences more things in the future, she will understand.

If that doesn't work, you can also ask him directly.

The image of Rick touching his head with a helpless smile appeared in Hubi's mind. The two power sources behind her shook gently like tails unconsciously.

At this time, although her energy reserve had bottomed out, her body was severely damaged internally, and she was in the weakest state, she was considered to be completely out of danger.

Because even though she was still in the wilderness where she could easily be discovered, a man who could walk sideways on this planet was carrying her on his back.

Flügel had to take a detour when they saw it.

Therefore, Hubie was now completely relaxed. However, for some reason, she always felt like she had forgotten something. What was it?

Hubie searched the memory bank with some confusion. He had already checked his own status, and then...

She found that the memory synchronization connection between herself and her race was still there.

Hubie: "..."

"Snapped!"

Almost instantly, Hubie unilaterally completely cut off this damn connection.
