Gu Wu, who got the task assigned to him by the system, came to the world called "The Girl's Final Journey", and he thought he would go on an adventure with the heroines, but he found that the person he wanted to help was not the two girls, but an old man with a strange temper.
However, in this world that is gradually coming to an end, an old man who is over half a hundred years old is planting flowers in the warehouse, and this kind of action is quite interesting to Gu Wu.
Since the door of the warehouse has been opened, and the skylight above has been fully propped up, the two people who have no work in the morning sit on the broken benches at the door of the warehouse to rest.
Although the bench was already a little tattered, the old man had spread a layer of cloth on top of the rusty iron rod and supported it with wood underneath, so it was quite stable to sit on.
Putting his backpack full of supplies on the side, Gu Wu asked after sorting out his words in his heart "Old man......"
"I have a name, just call me Del, what about you?
What's the name?
What about looting supplies outside?
Judging by that backpack, you should have a good harvest. ” "My name is Gu Wu, and as for the collection of materials......
In a way, it's a full load. ” Of course, none of the various materials in the mountaineering bag were collected by Gu Wu personally, and most of them were things that the housekeeper had been instructed to prepare.
With that, Del pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, the box looked very old, and there were only two half-finger-length cigarette butts left inside......
"I'm not going to give you these things."
"No......
I don't smoke. ” The stubborn old man who saw you go to hold the remaining cigarettes tightly in his hands, maybe he turned out to be a veteran smoker.
"I said, old man del, may I ask what you are doing in this place?
If you have the leisure to do so, I think it's better to find some supplies, or food that can be grown. ” "Hmph, so you young people just don't like to ask questions after the survey, and always think about others to solve their doubts!
Listen, those plants that look like flowers on the outside are actually very large roots, and when they are ripe, they can be dug up and dried in the sun, and when they are eaten, they are boiled in boiling water, and they taste a bit like ......
Ah, it's steamed buns!
It's like a steamed bun!
” Is it a flower with huge roots that tastes like steamed buns?
The world is really changing little by little.
Gu Wu, who thought of this, smelled the smell of smoke, and at the same time, he also moved his gaze and looked at the warehouse behind him again.
The reason why Old Man Del planted flowers in the warehouse was probably because he was worried that something would suddenly fall from the sky, so he was so careful.
"How long will it take for those flowers to ripen?"
Gu Wu thought that his task was to help the old man in front of him cultivate the flowers and take care of them to grow completely.
"A month, no, half a month is fine, if you pick it out now, the roots will not fully absorb the nutrients, and the taste will be very strange, and ah......
Recently, the number of solar days has not been high, but today is an exception. ” "Half a month......
Speaking of which, Mr.
Del, how did you find those flowers to eat?
” "Did you live in a shelter with good living conditions?
It stands to reason that they should all have ceased to function......
In short, you just need to understand that when people are hungry, they will eat whatever they see. ” Del's speech reminded Gu Wu of Bei Ye, but Bei Ye has a security team, but Del in front of him can only live on his own.
Gu Wu's current world has experienced war, and cities and shelters of different classes have lost their original functions.
At the same time, under the influence of war, food is scarce and people are struggling to make a living, so that this unprecedented blow has gradually brought mankind to the end.
"Whew......
Young man, what are you going to do?
If you're not going to leave, come and help!
” "I'm really going to stay, after all, I've collected enough supplies, do you need it, Old Man Del?"
"No, I don't need anything from you, because I don't have to beg for it now."
Not just a guy with a strange temper, but also a very stubborn old man.
"Besides, if I take your things, how are you going to live?
Sharing with others also means reducing the time you have to live, don't think too well of outsiders. ” Del, who began to preach like a teacher, finished his cigarette and carried the shovel on one side of his shoulder.
The stubborn idea of living alone and not begging for others is indeed a bit stupid in the last days, but it also proves that his spirit is extremely strong.
If Gu Wu lived alone, he thought that he would not be able to stand such days.
Humans are lonely from the beginning, but because of this, they need to gain some motivation through connection with others.

"Besides, I don't think you have enough supplies, so even if you give them to me, I'll have to keep planting these flowers."
Hearing Del say this, Gu Wu also stood up.
"Is Old Man Del planning to leave here?"
"That's right, I'm going to go down the floor, and I'll have to prepare enough supplies before then."
"Lower?
Doesn't it all go to the upper echelons in general?
” "That's true, I have my own reasons, now don't say these time-wasting words, it's time to get to work."
Throwing the shovel on his shoulder to Gu Wu, Del then ran to the warehouse and took out two miner's hats and an oil lamp.
"Let's go, young man."
"Where to go?"
"Find food for those flowers." “？？”
Looking for food for the flowers?
Are those flowers carnivorous?
However, Gu Wu soon found that his head was a little funny, after all, the 'food of flowers' was the nutrients of the land, that is to say......
"Are you looking for fertilizer?"
"That's right."
There are still remnants of the past in this world, some of which have been completely destroyed, some of which are buried underground, and some of which are still functioning, and those who survive are like explorers, digging these things.
Before leaving, the two of them closed the door of the warehouse, and the skylight was not closed, continuing to let the sunlight slanting in moisten the flowers that were thriving.
The two men then left the warehouse and began to walk up the stairs at the back of the warehouse.
Gu Wu, who was following behind, couldn't help but admire Del's courage, because he was an outsider, but he was not afraid at all......
Could it be because the system has added a 'harmless to humans and animals' setting to itself?
That's why Del treated Gu Wu as an acquaintance.
No matter what the real situation is, this is the best situation for Gu Wu, if there is a conflict between the two sides, it will be more troublesome, which must be thanked by the system.
Of course, this kind of gratitude is not a thank you from the heart, in the final analysis, Gu Wu will appear here, and it is all caused by the system.
But fortunately, there are no man-eating monsters and terrifying demons in the world of "Girl's End Journey", only some working machines and few poor survivors, so it's quite safe to live here.
On the way, Gu Wu did not forget to look around, the abandoned cities, the dilapidated land and the cracked walls all emphasized that the world was coming to an end.
Even in the morning, the minutes still smell damp, probably because there was too much water somewhere.
At this time, a huge stone pillar appeared in Gu Wu's field of vision, the distance was not very far, if I remembered correctly, it should be the passage connecting the upper floor.
"Young people, don't be stunned, and take a break to complete the work quickly."
"No problem."
Gu Wu, who was urged by Del, continued to walk along the stairs that extended downward, and soon he saw Del, who had taken the lead to the end of the stairs, stopped.
There was an entrance to the tunnel, and Del pointed to the entrance.
"Once you've gone through this tunnel, we'll be able to find what we need."
"Where are the tunnels connected?"
"You'll understand when you go."
Del, who had bought a pass, lit a fuel lamp with flint and steel, and carried it into the tunnel.
Gu Wu, who was following behind, looked around with the help of the light, and the tunnel was very dangerous due to its disrepair, especially the cracks that were gradually creeping up, which made people very worried.
Even with a miner's helmet, if this place does collapse, this safety helmet is probably useless.
But fortunately, the tunnel was not very long, and soon the two of them came to an end.
The other upward exit of the dark tunnel was filled with dazzling sunlight, and Del, who had climbed out, did not leave immediately, but stood there and stretched out his hand to Gu Wu.
Gu Wu climbed up hard and grabbed Del's arm at the same time, and was finally pulled by the other party, and the whole person got out of the tunnel.
"Hmm......"
After getting used to the dark tunnel, my eyes hurt from the sunlight outside, but I recovered after more than ten seconds.
"Oh———!"
Opening his eyes, a courtyard appeared in Gu Wu's field of vision.

Beneath your feet are green grass, and overhead are clear glass domes that catch the sunlight that pours in from the gaps above and disperse it to fill the space.
The warm glow covers the vegetation with a golden veil, and the dew that has not yet dried up sparkles in the light, making it seem like the only oasis in the apocalypse.
Then Gu Wu looked to the left-hand side, where was the excavated land, and on the right-hand side was a thriving tree.
"When I first found out about it, I thought there would be animals, but there were none."
Del said as he walked towards the dug ground.
"But since the plants here can thrive, their land must have nutrients, so I keep changing the dirt in the warehouse."
"Why not plant here?"
"Gu Wu, your head is really not bright, didn't you see the tunnel when you came?"
"That's ......
Because the tunnel could collapse at any moment. ” Gu Wu found that he had indeed become sluggish, why?
Compared to this, hearing Gu Wu's answer, Del nodded.
"That's right, once it collapses, I'm guessing the only way to come in is through the sun-soaked gap above, but the problem is that it's dangerous and mentally draining."
Speaking of this, Del reminded Gu Wu to move and fight quickly.
Gu Wu walked over with a shovel, and there were bags scattered around this place that Del had brought before.
Gu Wu, who picked up a bag, suddenly found that there was something like a folder in the grass, so he picked it up.
Part of the folder was wrapped in moss, and Gu Wu, who had erased it, turned the first page.
Gu Wu, who couldn't understand the content, found that there were pictures on it that could barely be seen clearly.
It feels like a report......
The picture captures the growth of plants and some animals, and perhaps it was originally a facility, like a research institute, where scientists intended to build an ecosystem or something, but it was completely abandoned under the war.
"Get moving."
The wet soil flew over Gu Wu's head, and Gu Wu, who was smiling bitterly, immediately moved.
No way, after all, we have to respect the old and love the young.
Gu Wu used a shovel to put the moist soil into the bag little by little, and the soil had a faint fragrance, which was probably caused by the chemical ingredients inside.
Normally, Del would only carry two bags of dirt back, once every two days, but today, with Gu Wu's helper, he can bring twice as much soil, and he can rest the day after tomorrow.
Digging is not an easy task, so fill the bag and tie it up with rope to make sure it doesn't break before you leave with you.
Due to the limitation of the size of the bag, the weight of a bag of soil is not heavy, it is much less than a hundred catties of a bag of cement, there are fifteen to twenty kilograms, and even then Gu Wu is very laborious to carry.
The two men pushed the bag towards the entrance of the tunnel, but before they could reach that side, a battle broke out on the ground.
Boom!
Hearing the sound of heavy objects smashing the ground outside, the space where Gu Wu and Del were located shook, and the already unstable tunnel not far away collapsed.
The space collapsed, the ground shook, and Del, who grabbed Gu Wu, roared.
"There's a staircase over there!!
Let's go out through the exit above!
Don't bring these things!!
” Rather than fertilizing the flowers, saving life is the most important thing now.
Grabbing the ladder leading to the top, Gu Wu didn't use any force, the rusty ladder broke in response, the corroded fragments fell to the ground, and Gu Wu also fell down fiercely.
"Damn !!!"
Del's eyes widened and he looked up, the structure seemed to be affected by the collapse of the tunnel just now.
Use your ability, Gu Wu, who was thinking like this, got up, but at this time, apart from the sound of the wall shaking and gradually collapsing, there was other movement.
"Ahh There really are people here!
” "Yu!
Don't be stunned!
Speed put the rope down!
” The vibration just now shattered the glass, and the girl above quickly threw the rope down.
"Yaha!!
Hold on to the rope!!

” In the case of the gradual collapse, the girl named You made a strange sound to remind Gu Wu and the others who were located below.
Gu Wu and Del were not in a daze, and immediately grabbed the rope.
With the sound of the engine, two people were pulled up.
"Run!"
The black-haired girl not far away shouted at the three Gu Wu who were at the top.
As soon as the three of them ran to the relatively stable ground, the ground and buildings behind them partially collapsed, making a deafening sound.
"Saved......"
Del gasped for air, then looked at the two young girls.
"Thanks, little girls."
"I'm Yuli!
This guy is a thousand households!
” The protagonists appear in the form of saviors......
