Time in a collapsing world

The car arrived at the door of the villa. There were already many vehicles parked outside, and several people even suspected that they were the last ones to arrive.

As if they felt something, as soon as their group arrived, the door of the villa was opened, and bright lights came out from inside, illuminating the darkness on the top of the mountain.

"Ah, you are here~?"

The person who opened the door was Alicia. She counted the number of people getting off the car with her eyes. Seven was just right.

"You are the last ones to arrive. As punishment, you have to perform at the party later~?"

The others were naturally respectful and indifferent, but Pado didn't care. She knew a lot of acrobatics.

But were they really the last ones to arrive?

Others came so early?

Forget it, those things don't matter, you have to get in quickly. Isn't it too cold on the top of the mountain in winter? !

Seeing Pado shrinking, Alicia didn't say anything at the door, and brought the few people into the villa with a smile.

Under the leadership of Alicia, several people put on cotton slippers. As the door was closed, their whole bodies were surrounded by a wave of warmth.

It was warm and completely different from the cold outside.

Alicia is even wearing a short-sleeved dress. People who don’t know would probably think it’s still summer, right?

Everyone took off their coats and hung them on the hangers beside the corridor, and then followed Alicia to the living room.

Everyone who has arrived is waiting here.

"We're finally here? Did you think you accidentally fell into a ditch and were so slow?"

Mebius held a cup of hot tea and said dissatisfiedly while sitting on the sofa. He saw Xi hiding behind the crowd and gave her an evil smile.

"..."

Xi shrank back silently.

"Don't say that, Dr. Mebius, I think we came too early. After all, the agreed time has not yet arrived." Velvet sat in the corner holding a green robot and was tinkering with it. Something, he said casually after hearing what Mebius said.

Velvet came with Mebius and the laboratory trio. They met at the gate of the base and they happened to be a companion. Anyway, Mebius usually didn't know how to drive, let alone the other three little ones.

Thump, thump, thump—!

After Velvet finished speaking, she raised the hammer in her hand and struck the robot in front of her, making a violent noise.

"Senior sister, Miss Wilwei is transforming your body..." Danzhu looked at the Klein robot that was messed up, but it was still functioning. It was really amazing.

"..."

Klein didn't know what to say. He had a strange feeling watching a robot similar to himself being roughed up.

Cang Xuan did not stand with Danzhu and Klein, but stood silently next to a shelf, looking at the gold-inlaid decorations placed on it, and unconsciously wanted to reach out and touch them.

"Miss Cangxuan, do you like it very much? If you want it, I can give it to you." A soft and elegant voice came from the side. It was Eden, the owner of the villa, who saw her and said with a smile.

"No, no need..."

Regarding Eden's kindness, Cang Xuan shook her head and refused. It was okay to talk about this kind of thing in private. In such a public place, even she was embarrassed to shamelessly squander other people's property.

"Mei, tea...here."

On the other side, Su held a cup of tea and handed it to Mei.

"Thank you."

Mei took it carefully. She was still lying on the bed to recuperate before coming here. It was not that she was still feeling unwell, but that Su, as a doctor, suggested that she lie down and rest as much as possible.

The hand holding the handle of the cup trembled slightly and stabilized after a while of adapting. Mei glanced at Kevin who was standing not far away, ready to step forward to help. She smiled at him and said there was no need to worry.

The remaining members of the first team were gathered together, and among them there was a Kosma, who seemed to be teased because of his introverted personality.

Surrounded by a large number of girls, Kosmo's face could be seen turning red.

"..."

A man wearing a strange mask was holding his chest and observing the seven people who had just arrived. His eyes swept over their faces one by one. After a long silence, he asked reluctantly: "Where is that guy? This scene There’s no way he won’t come.”

"Li Mo... He is actually already here, but you can't see Qianjie for the time being." Aponya looked at Xi quietly and answered with a chuckle.

"?"

Qianjie was stunned for a moment, and then followed Aponya's gaze. Except for a petite girl, where was the shadow of Li?

Damn, the Riddler.

Qianjie cursed secretly.

"Let's talk about it first. I'm not coming here because I want to come, but because you've been whispering in my ear like a fly. It's so annoying. Do you understand?"

"I know, Qianjie."

Even though he was compared to a fly, Aponya was still lifeless and just replied lightly with a smile.

"..."

Qianjie said "tsk" in his heart. He could have taken advantage of the time when most of the important people in the Fire Chasing Moth ran out to rummage through the Herrscher core in the base, but... forget it, for the sake of the Chinese New Year. For his own sake, he didn't want to say anything more.

After briefly greeting everyone, the seven newcomers found a place to sit down.

Nozomi looked around, and under Mebius's nonchalant gaze, she had no choice but to walk cautiously in the direction of the green girl.

Just halfway through, Ling ran over, took Nozomi's hand and came to her sister's side.

Sakura smiled softly at Nozomi, ignored Mebius's gaze, patted the seat next to her, and motioned for Nozomi to sit next to her.

Nozomi sat down next to Sakura, and Suzu quickly sat on the other side of Nozomi.

Separated from Sakura, Hua Zheng was sitting upright, looking nervous as if he was not used to such a lively environment.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the next stage~?"

Alicia clapped her hands and attracted everyone's attention, "I guess none of you have had dinner today, so come with me. There are ingredients in the restaurant, let's prepare them together~?"

……

In the restaurant, everyone looked at the large amount of dough and fillings placed on the large dining table with thoughtful expressions.

"Are you going to eat dumplings tonight?" Mei guessed first, "It's not the same as before..."

At the parties held by Alicia in the past, the New Year’s Eve dinner usually consisted of honey dumplings, salad and red wine... Now it’s actually changed to food from China?

"Hmm~ Why don't you try new things once in a while~?"

Alicia nodded matter-of-factly, "And everyone makes their own dumplings. Don't you think it's fun?"
