A farewell gift

The warm touches all around felt like being wrapped in a blanket and leaning against a warm fireplace in the dead of winter. It made one not want to wake up. If only someone would feed him porridge, Circe thought, pulling the blanket tighter around himself.

Circe.

A voice reached her ears, Circe immediately opened her eyes. It was the voice of the person she had been longing for. Seeing Bai Mo sitting by her bedside, Circe couldn't help but embrace him.

"It's so nice to be able to have a dream like this even after everything is destroyed." Circe smiled happily and hugged him tightly. Her body was very light, weighing only 39 kilograms, and the wings behind her had a warm, plush feel.

"This isn't a dream." Bai Mo patted Circe's back. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. They were in a tent, with a heater burning nearby.

"Huh? I'm not dead?"

Bai Mo shook his head and said, "You were washed ashore and then discovered."

"Oh, that's interesting. The first time we met, I found you on the beach. Now the roles are reversed." Circe smiled and leaned on Bai Mo's shoulder. All her dissatisfaction and worries had vanished, replaced by pure peace.

A sense of melancholy settled in his heart. He hadn't realized how far they had come; it felt like only yesterday he had met her. Pulling the clingy little bird away, Bai Mo ignored Circe's disgruntled lips, and the two left the tent.

Surrounded by a rainforest where many people lived, Circe around at the surrounding Magecraft arrays and said with some surprise, "You completed this pollution-isolating array? The level of completion is unexpectedly high."

Bai Mo casually replied, "Fran did the main work; I was just helping out."

Fran, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, curled his lip and said, "I'm just providing magic. If other Magecraft knew that someone who's just started learning Magecraft Magic Resistance, they'd probably want to kill themselves."

Even though the Magnetic Field Power was gone, and even the Electric Current Push was no longer present, just as the Giant Shark said, hard work is the most solid and never-ending wealth. Bai Mo quickly understood and used the magic power. Although this magic power was no match for the Magnetic Field Power, as a power contained within the body, Bai Mo could make it work through his Complete Realm.

But that's all there is to it. Right now, Bai Mo can do is save as many people as possible, as this body is too weak. If he were to cause trouble for the system, whether he could win or not is another matter; the system only needs to play dead for three months to outlive Bai Mo.

The two strolled through this small rainforest, one of the safest places on Earth, where people could obtain clean water and food, and where Bai Mo of herbal medicine) would help treat physical ailments.

Circe watched the busy people; a man carried an old man on his back and placed him on the top floor where the air was best. At mealtimes, people were also willing to share more food with the children and those doing heavy physical labor.

A woman handed Circe some fruit, saying, "Have some fruit. You must have suffered quite a few injuries outside. Don't worry, no one here will hurt you. Eat something to heal your wounds, and I'll make you some herbal tea later."

Looking at the apple glistening with dew in his hand, Circe somewhat bewildered, because in this era of widespread nuclear radiation, people like this were rare, or rather, they should have been extinct long ago.

Unlike the outside world, this place is not only a refuge where one can survive, but also contains something even more precious. The existence of Bai Mo makes them willing to help each other and move forward hand in hand, giving this place a kind of human brilliance that should not exist in the apocalypse.

Bai Mo, "Are there any other people? What happened on your end?"

Upon hearing this, Circe her hands, belatedly realizing, "Oh no! When I was in trouble, the Supreme Heavenly King must have discovered Noah's situation."

Bai Mo looked somewhat speechless and said, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be said immediately?" After saying that, Bai Mo prepared to leave with Circe, but Circe grabbed his hand, looking down as if he was about to say something, but Bai Mo interrupted him directly.

"I won't stay here. There are people I know and care about there too. What's the difference between you making me stay here and torturing me? Although I don't have the strength I used to have, and might even be weaker than you now, I'm not someone who'll just sit here and wait to die."

Fran, who was standing nearby, chuckled inwardly upon hearing this. Weaker than this Heroic Spirit? She didn't believe that nonsense.

As if she had already anticipated Circe's words, Circe choked. At this moment, she could sense Bai Mo's terrible physical condition; he was extremely weak. Without the support of magic, the nuclear radiation and pollution outside would destroy his fragile body. Therefore, she hoped he could stay here.

"Besides, this place is quite far from Aeaea Island; your Mystic Code alone won't suffice."

The last sentence crushed Circe, leaving her with nothing but a limp head.

"Sigh, I just can't persuade you, just like back then."

"This is different from before. This time I'm not alone." Bai Mo's words carried a strange power to Circe's ears.

"So, you're planning to leave now?" Fran approached Bai Mo and said in a completely undisguised voice, making sure everyone heard him. Instantly, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Bai Mo.

"Yes, I think I'm leaving soon, and I have a feeling I won't be coming back this time."

Bai Mo remained unperturbed by Fran's actions, her expression still calm and gentle. Circe nearby, immediately became hostile towards Fran. What was this woman doing? By revealing this now, wasn't she putting Bai Mo in a difficult position?

Fran laughed, "That's right, since we're leaving anyway, I've been busy here all this time just to see this moment." She bent down to Bai Mo's side, puffed out her chest, and smiled, "After all, I really wanted to see you lose hope in humanity and ultimately fall into depravity. Consider this my reward, how about it?"

The group went into their tents, Circe felt uneasy. This group had finally found shelter, but now the big tree that had sheltered them was leaving. What would human selfishness drive them to do? Circe grabbed Bai Mo's arm with some worry.

"Really? This is the reward you wanted? Fran, you've really changed a lot."

Bai Mo's somewhat teasing words sent a shiver down Fran's spine. Then, the group emerged from their tents, carrying food, herbs, and clothing. What were they going to do? Fran seemed surprised by this turn of events. A tall man walked up to Bai Mo and asked:

"Boss, are you really leaving?"

"Yes, things have turned out this way. I can't stay here forever. The magic array here will continue to exist; it should be enough to protect you."

The next moment, the man drew a dagger from his waist, twirled it in his hand, and handed the hilt to Bai Mo.

"What... are you doing?"

Fran was a little confused. The man scratched his head and said, "Boss, you need something to defend yourself when you're out and about. You're so weak, how can you not have something to carry? This is my knife from when I was in the army, it works well. Here, take it."

The man's eyes seemed to gleam as he said, "Boss, you picked us all out of Hell. We're lucky to be alive. We know you have special powers, and you're not like us."

We will take good care of ourselves. Please accept our gifts and gratitude. Don't let us be a burden to you; go and do great things.

The remaining people handed the few remaining herbs and food to Circe and even Fran. Fran was somewhat stunned, like a statue, letting those people place the meager supplies in her hands.

They were like elderly people who knew their children were about to leave their hometown, packing their bags and wanting to hand over all their belongings to them.

Bai Mo pushed the dagger back and said, "Your gratitude is enough for me; you need it more than I do."

In the end, they only took some food, since Bai Mo's body needed to eat. Bai Mo, along with Circe and the somewhat dazed Fran, left the place and arrived at a strait.

"So, how are we going to get there? By boat?" Circe asked. The next moment, a submarine rose from the strait, with three large letters on it: NFF. A woman with fox ears and a fluffy tail poked her head out from the submarine's hatch.

"Hello everyone, Mr. Bai Mo, where are you headed?"

Koyanskaya, still dressed like a businesswoman, watched this absurd scene, Circe's lips twitched. The submarine submerged and headed towards Aeaea Island.
