Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 255: Journey to the Snowy Mountains (Act 1)

Plop, plop...

The heart was beating extremely violently.

Jiang Ming placed his hands on his chest, trying to calm his heartbeat. At the moment, he seemed desperate, helpless and nervous.

But there is more hidden in his heart, which even he himself has not discovered - expectation.

Now Jiang Ming just felt like he was some kind of pet used for venting and playing, or like a rabbit imprisoned in a cage, unable to escape, waiting to be eaten by a carnivore.

When Jiang Ming realized this, his body began to tremble slightly, and he felt the gaze on him becoming more and more intense.

The place where he was was as cold as a freezer. His shoulders and fingertips kept shaking. However, Jiang Ming's body was shivering not simply because of the cold.

Suddenly, a cold hand touched Jiang Ming's cheek.

"Hey!"

In an instant, Jiang Ming let out a slight scream, his body curled up tightly again, and his back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.

However, the cold-blooded predators ignored Jiang Ming's reaction and slowly crawled towards him, the lust in their eyes seemed to overwhelm him.

"Woooo..."

Jiang Ming let out another faint cry, and couldn't help but wonder why things had turned out like this.

................

"I say...when are we going to go out and play during the summer vacation?"

"Eh?"

A few hours ago, Jiang Ming, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly said this.

Because this sentence came too suddenly, Theresa and the others were at a loss.

Because of the previous [Ultimate] will of the Star God, which reversed the node of time extraction at the cost of consuming itself, the families of Mei and others returned to their side.

There is also Beichen Mei from 500 years ago, and of course, there are also Xilin and Cecilia and others who Jiang Ming took the initiative to go back to the past to rescue.

This meant that Ji Zi's villa could not accommodate so many people. Fortunately, there were many unoccupied rooms in the St. Freya Academy dormitory, so Theresa arranged accommodation for them one by one.

Raiden Ryoma returned to Anti-Entropy for work, while Sae stayed at St. Freya Academy.

Siegfried lived with Cecilia, Alexei lived with Alexandra, and Salome temporarily lived with Cheng Lixue.

Yulandel and Anna moved into the villa at Jiang Ming's request, coquetry and application to Otto, while the garrison on the Coral Island was handed over to other Valkyries.

Rita asked to stay here, and as for Xilin...

Although Ji Zi's villa is a three-story villa, it cannot accommodate so many people. Since there are not enough rooms, she and Bella have to live in the room under the moon.

Firstly, children would definitely enjoy playing with it, and secondly, Yuexia didn’t have any other hobbies and there weren’t many facilities in the room, so the bed prepared for her was very large, and it would be absolutely no problem for the three of them to stretch their legs straight when sleeping.

In order to keep Bella in human form, Jiang Ming specially created a pseudo-core of the Herrscher of Death for her.

As for the second collapse, everyone tacitly agreed not to bring it up.

Having said that, every time it is afternoon tea time, everyone will gather here to chat, and it was at this time that Jiang Ming expressed his desire to go out and play in an expectant tone.

"Why do you suddenly want to go out and play?"

Ji Zi's interest was also aroused, and she asked with a curious smile.

"Well, summer vacation is finally here, and Mei and the others just passed the B-rank Valkyrie test. Relaxation is a must. Beichen just resurrected and needs to understand this world. Traveling is definitely the best option, and improving relationships is also a good choice, right?"

There are quite sufficient reasons. Excluding the first two, Cecilia and Mei Kitano have just been resurrected, so private emotional time during travel is definitely the best choice.

And it is obvious that even if someone raises an objection, it would be meaningless.

Because when Kiana, Yuexia, and Rin, who were also at the scene, heard these words, their eyes shone brightly, making Theresa unable to object.

However, there were also people who didn't want to go, such as Salome and Cheng Lixue. However, after knowing that Fu Hua would also go, Cheng Lixue immediately expressed that she wanted to go too.

"In that case, where should we go?"

Everyone looked at each other in a brief silence, but soon decided where to go by playing rock-paper-scissors - whoever won could propose where they wanted to go.

The adults voluntarily withdrew from the competition and left the outcome of the game to the children. At the same time, Yulandel, Rita, Cheng Lixue, Fu Hua and others also chose to withdraw, of course, with the exception of Jiang Ming.

"Scissors-Rock-Paper!"

After the words fell, everyone stretched out their hands. After several rounds, unexpectedly, the winner was not Kiana, but Beichen Mei, who was sitting on the left of Jiang Ming. It seemed that she had a strong desire to go somewhere in her heart.

"The winner is Beichen... Is there any place you want to go?"

"Well......"

Mei Beichen rested her chin on her hand, hummed softly for a moment, and then pointed to the gorgeous pictures in the travel book that Jiang Ming had lent her.

"I want to try this thing called skiing. It seems that after wearing some kind of tool, I can move quickly, and the snow scenery around me seems pretty good too."

"Skiing..."

"Skiing? It's an interesting sport."

"I'll prepare ski equipment and clothes for everyone."

“There should be some ready-made ones over there, right?”

“Then we need to add something else.”

Jiang Ming nodded as if he understood, and the others had no intention of refusing. They also became interested in skiing.

"Then let's go. The Hyperion is a warship. Just in case, we'll use the Helios transport ship. I'll ask the bishop for permission to go skiing on the snowy mountain. For fun, we can just book the entire snowy mountain."

Jiang Ming said this as he rubbed the Queen who was sleeping on him. Although he was punished with a kiss after waking up the Queen, Jiang Ming immediately informed Otto that he was going skiing.

In accordance with the alliance, Otto responded immediately by booking an entire snowy mountain for them and they could set off that same day.

"Alright everyone, Rita and I will prepare the most important things, if you need to bring anything, just pack it up in these travel bags."

Jiang Ming turned around and took out dozens of travel backpacks and appeared in front of everyone. Feeling the different expressions from everyone, Jiang Ming scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly.

"Well... we have to go out and have fun during the rare summer vacation. We need to prepare some things in advance. Besides, didn't Theresa decide to build a new villa nearby? How about taking advantage of this time?"

With Jiang Ming's gentle encouragement, Mei and the others smiled bitterly and began to prepare skiing clothes and tools. Although they might be available there, if it were Rita, she would definitely prepare more professional ones.

..............

After those few hours.

"Oh! This is so beautiful!"

Before leaving the transport ship, Kiana exclaimed and looked around at the silver-white world below.

She swayed her long snow-white hair, her crystal blue eyes sparkled with starlight, and she rocked excitedly on her chair, wanting to see more of the scenery, while Siegfried squeezed in with her.

However, after Cecilia smiled and gently held them down, the two of them miraculously calmed down.

Jiang Ming suddenly appeared beside the three of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lady Cecilia. Since you came, Kiana has been even better behaved than before."

"Is that so... I'm very interested in Kiana's days in Saint Freya. If I have time..."

"Ooooh wow!!"

Kiana yelled as she inserted herself between Jiang Ming and Cecilia, her panicked look somewhat cute.

"This... let's not talk about studying at this time!"

"Well, Kiana is a very cute child. She has been working hard to become an A-rank Valkyrie and find Mr. Siegfried. She eats breakfast, lunch and dinner well and behaves very well."

"Eh...?"

Kiana's panicked expression froze in place.

"Although she is not very good in academics, I think she has made her best efforts. In terms of practical combat, she is currently majoring in swordsmanship. Of course, I am the one who guides her, but she also has the help of squad leader Fu Hua occasionally. Her inability to calm down may be one of her rare shortcomings, but she is really a great child. I am sincerely proud of her."

To Kiana's surprise, Jiang Ming did not tell Cecilia about her bad habits of being picky about food and skipping classes. Instead, he discussed Cecilia's life at school in an extremely tactful and complimentary manner.

Looking at Kiana who blinked and was still in a daze, Jiang Ming nodded to Cecilia.

"We are ready to land. I saw that Kiana was a little too excited, so I came to remind her. Let's stop here for today. It turns out that we should have fun during the summer vacation. With Lady Cecilia here, I believe we will be able to relax a lot in the future."

"No, Jiang Ming, I feel most at ease with you here."

Cecilia's smile to Jiang Ming made Kiana and Siegfried feel a little dissatisfied, but when Cecilia looked over, their expressions returned to normal.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang Ming is indeed a very powerful person."

"No, wife, don't be fooled by his handsome appearance and achievements. In fact, when I first met him, I could see that he was extremely scary inside and was very calculating!"

"Yes, Mom, although Jiang Ming looks very gentle, patient, considerate, humble, and will not cause trouble to others, and is very caring, he actually has shortcomings!"

Cecilia narrowed her eyes and looked at the two of them. She knew that Jiang Ming's words were very euphemistic. How could she not know her daughter's personality? She sighed helplessly and fastened their seat belts.

"I'll be very happy if both of you stay quiet and don't cause trouble to others."

"Yes..." x2

................

After a successful landing, the hatch opened.

The girls looked at the snow scene outside and exclaimed in amazement.

The beautiful silver-white carpet covers the mountains and fields, sparkling under the sunlight. The dreamy scenery even makes people feel as if they have accidentally entered a scene in a movie.

After all, they were originally in the hot summer, but now they saw such a large snowfield. It was normal for the cute girls present to be like this, right?

"It's so beautiful. Hehe, I want to be the first one to leave my footprints here!"

"Stupid Kiana is so slow, Bronya went first."

Just as Kiana was about to take a step, Bronya took the lead and stepped in front of her. She walked on the soft snow. Her shoes sank instantly, making a comfortable stepping sound.

"Ah! Bronya! What are you doing!?"

"Obviously, it was stupid Kiana who was too slow and blocked everyone."

"Idiot! Idiot Bronya!"

Not only Kiana, but other girls were also having fun in this white scenery.

"Lord Yulandel, please add some more clothes."

"No, Rita. This little bit of cold won't make me catch a cold, and it's very convenient to move around."
