Time in a collapsing world

"Starlight City... Ahh~ I was looking forward to the next Starlight Festival. What a pity! As expected, even the [Stars] can't escape the fate of falling and dying?"

Vita, carrying a bunch of belongings, stood on the outskirts of the city. She and the two people behind her were almost about to leave Xinghui City, but perhaps because she was reluctant to leave, she asked to get off the car to take a closer look.

Yaezaki and Su did not refuse. Their next action did not require speed, but caution, and they should always pay attention to the energy fluctuations within a hundred miles. Once they were confirmed to be completely safe, Yaezaki and Su would directly use their power and Qianjie Yicheng to leave this world.

By the way, the car belonged to Vita, so Su and Yae Ri didn't have to steal a car.

Xinghui City is indeed very large. Instead of taking the rail train, it took them nearly two days to get here by car.

The collapse of the sky in the distance seemed to have stopped temporarily, but the originally prosperous and bustling city in front of the few people had completely turned into a dead city. All the humans inside had run away. Yaezaki and the other two were the last ones left.

A certain secret feeling of being watched came over her again. In the previous world bubbles, Yae Li had experienced this feeling more than once.

So he told Yu Su about the situation, and the latter shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not discovered anything.

"Huh...Okay, we have said goodbye to success. Now let us poor wandering people share the joys and sorrows together in the rest of our journey~"

Vita turned around. The cheap mask on her face had been replaced with a fox-like mask that only covered the upper half of her face. Her small lips were exposed, and a sly smile could be seen every time she opened her mouth.

"Well, let's go."

Yaezaki nodded slightly, but she didn't expect Vita to throw the car keys in her hand directly to her.

"Why don't you drive? I've been driving for almost two days straight. I'm so sleepy and tired. I just want to take a nap in the soft back seat of the car~"

Vita stretched, but Sue looked at Yae with concern, "Are you okay?"

He had never seen Yaegiri drive in the pre-civilization era, but from other people's words, Su could still imagine how terrible Yaegiri's driving skills were.

"It should be fine... No, it's absolutely fine."

Yaeri has used his power to forcefully instill all the knowledge from subjects one to four into himself. Theoretically speaking, he can still drive normally on the road.

"Leave it to me, Su. I will make sure you get to your destination safely!"

……

The next afternoon.

"Where are you now?"

Yaeri, who was sitting on the passenger seat, asked Vita, who was sitting on the driver's seat with her mouth pouting as if she was sulking, a little embarrassedly.

Yesterday, Yae Li started the car very smoothly. Su sat in the passenger seat hesitantly and fastened his seat belt. Vita didn't know the seriousness of the matter yet, so she lay comfortably in the back seat of the car, squinting her eyes and was about to go to sleep.

Just a few minutes later, Vita felt the car body shaking abnormally, and then seemed to hear the co-pilot Su's scream, and then accompanied by a strong impact, Vita rolled directly from the back seat, and hit her head on the front seat, it hurt, and even a cut appeared on the mask on her face.

When Vita stood up, touching her head, she saw that her beloved car was parked on the roof of someone's house. It was two stories high and was placed just right.

"Where...are we?"

Vita leaned her head out of the car window and found that the shell of her car was covered with scratches, the four corners of the front and rear of the car were dented, one of the headlights had fallen off, and two of the four tires had fallen off. Now they were lying under the roof waiting for them to recycle them.

Seeing this scene, even with Vita's personality, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. It was hard to imagine whether the person driving the car was a human?

"Sorry, there was a slight accident. Are you okay?"

Su turned his head from the passenger seat, his eyes open, the color of his eyes was very similar to Vita's under the mask.

"So this is just a 'little' surprise to you?"

Vita thought thoughtfully, "If something really goes wrong, will I never wake up again?"

"..."

Su was a little embarrassed. He really didn’t expect that Yaeri’s driving was so... magical. If she hadn’t stepped on the brakes in time, Su would have had to expose his abilities and force the car to stop.

Just at this moment, Yae Ri, who had gotten off the car to recycle parts, came back. She didn't look at Vita, but she could still feel her eyes staring at her back.

"Let me fix the car."

Su got out of the car and checked the general damage to the car. After confirming that the main parts were not damaged, he silently breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are there any tools?”

Yaeri shamelessly asks Vita about not using her powers, since they are just "ordinary people" now.

"Yes, it's in the trunk~"

Vita opened the rear door and got out of the car. After handing the tools in the trunk to Su, she looked at the height of the second floor below and finally couldn't help asking, "How did you get up here?"

"With a few little tricks."

Yae Ri said shamelessly, "Want to learn? Maybe I can teach you?"

"Haha... it's a very powerful technique. It makes me have no desire to learn it at all."

"..."

It took several people an entire afternoon to repair the car and get it off the roof.

On the rest of the road, Su and Vita refused to give the steering wheel to Yaeri. They took turns driving. The latter knew she was in the wrong and temporarily accepted that she was "not suitable for driving".

Time returns to the present.

Vita answered Yae Li's question, "We have arrived at the outskirts of Morning Star City and are about to pass by. So where is your hometown? We have been driving for so long and still haven't arrived yet?"

"..."

"Our hometown is in a town on the edge of Dome City. After this city, it will be the next stop."

While Yae Li was thinking, Su spoke up. They had stopped for supplies along the way, and Su found more information than he had imagined from the mouths of other locals, and he also had some doubts.

"Ms. Vita..."

"Oh? Did you forget again? You should call me 'Mr.'~"

"...Mr. Vita, where is your home?"

"Isn't my home in Xinghui City? We just moved out from there... Strange, you don't look very old, it's impossible for you to have Alzheimer's disease?" Vita said strangely.

"I mean, Mr. Vita, where you first lived, because you said before that you had only been in Xinghui City for a few months, right?"

Su's questioning attitude made the atmosphere in the car tense for a moment. Yae Li glanced at Vita beside her and said nothing.

"My hometown... Su, it's not good to ask about it. Girls should have their own privacy. But I can tell you, it's over there~"

Slowing down the car, Vita pointed in the direction of the area covered by the collapsed sky, but she was pointing upwards.
