Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Otto continued to shake the wine glass in his hand calmly, as if he had already expected all this.

"How on earth...did he do that?"

"Oh? Are you curious? Unfortunately, even with the current technology of Destiny, it is still affected by Honkai energy. Everything that happened in the past ten minutes is not recorded at all. But if you are really so interested, why not wait for him to come back and ask him in person?"

"......"

"But it's natural to be curious. After all, even Youlandel can't guarantee that you can defeat the remaining nearly 10 Honkai beasts in just ten minutes, right?"

"That's not what I'm curious about."

Yulandel shook her head slowly and looked at the screen more seriously.

"I'm just worried that he might have used the ability he had when fighting Chi You. After all, his strength suddenly increased at that time, but after the battle, his life force was half a step into the gates of hell. This time..."

"Perhaps you don't need to worry too much, Master Yulandel."

Rita wanted to give Yulandel a reassurance and said with a smile.

"Master Jiang Ming doesn't look like he's in any serious condition, he's just a little tired. After all, it's been a year since Chi You was defeated, so it's impossible that Master Jiang Ming hasn't made any progress. Look at what Master Jiang Ming said at the end, it's obvious that he's doing it with ease."

"..."

"maybe."

"OK OK."

Otto clapped his hands and motioned for them to look at him.

"Since Jiang Ming has dealt with most of the Honkai beasts, the remaining dead soldiers are not a threat at all. Rita, quickly send about 5000 rescue workers from various regions to the rescue."

"Yes, Rita, I'll do it right away."

"......"

Chapter 117 Anyone who stands in my way will die

Although Jiang Ming alone dealt with 150,000 Honkai creatures, it would be a lie to say that he was not tired at all. However, he also felt very dissatisfied.

First, Otto did not send Yulandel or an S-class Valkyrie to assist in the rescue. Secondly, when he sent the Valkyrie rescue team here, he did not call me first, but came some time after the collapse. If I had set out with those dozens of Valkyrie teams, why would I have to deal with the collapse beasts and dead soldiers in a city by myself? I had to wait until the whole team was wiped out. How serious is the collapse? He still doesn't know? **One.......

After cursing in his heart once, Jiang Ming shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, let's go find Anna Shaniyate. This time we're here mainly for these three. The Honkai beasts should have been almost cleared out by now, so there shouldn't be any problems. System, can you locate it now?"

[Of course, as you wish]

[Oh, by the way, congratulations to the host for basically pacifying the Manila Collapse with such a powerful force]

[Ding! The host has completed the selection and the reward has been issued]

[Shenyou Wuchenbu Bu: A body movement method that does not require any constraints, only seeks to be fast and to be invisible. Wherever the mind goes, it arrives in an instant. It has passed through hundreds of millions of people without being stained by a speck of dust.]

"Oh, this is cool. In some ways, it's more useful than the Golden Light of the Earth. Thank you."

Jiang Ming thanked him after reading the explanation carefully.

You deserve it

['Back then, I created these moves just to look cool. I wonder what level you can reach now. Forget it. For some reason, I don't hold out hope.']

After resting for a few minutes, Jiang Ming quickly went to Anna's location.

........

“Haha ....”

Under the dark clouds, a young girl with long hair was running in the ruins. Anna kept gasping for breath. Although her hands and feet ached and she seemed like she was going to fall down in the next second, she still did not dare to stop and searched for a way out among the rubble.

Not long ago, the Snow Lotus Team she was in encountered an attack. The captain disappeared in the explosion and was nowhere to be found. The escaped team members were also torn apart and lost contact with each other. I'm afraid... they have been killed. If the Honkai Beast hadn't sensed something and left quickly, she would have died long ago. As the only survivor, she must now evacuate to the assembly point as soon as possible, contact others, and seek help from other teams.

“I’m sorry…I’m sorry…”

Anna muttered to herself and kept apologizing, not knowing whether she was apologizing to herself, her teammates, or the victim. She looked terrified now. Perhaps in her opinion, only by running non-stop could she ease the fear and apology in her heart.

While running, she had been trying to contact other people, but the communicator had been ringing the same noise from the beginning until now, forming the only melody in this desolate ruin. But whether she really wanted to find help and then return to the hell that almost killed everyone in her team, perhaps only she knew...

Suddenly, the sound of pebbles rolling came to her ears. The girl stopped hesitantly. She looked around and her sight fell on a collapsed building. Judging from its appearance and interior, it was probably a library.

She stayed for a few seconds, and there was no sound, or rather, the sound was as faint as a mosquito, but she suddenly looked away, as if she wanted to escape from here, and quickened her pace.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry…!”

She kept repeating the words of self-blame, and the ruins gradually moved away from her...

......

"ah---!!"

The girl was too anxious, or perhaps... too scared, so she didn't notice the stone at her feet and tripped to the ground. Anna fell powerlessly in front of the collapsed building, gathering dust. She wanted to get up but found that she couldn't do it. The blood on her hands seemed to remind her————

deserter......

"No...it's not."

Fear instantly surged into her heart. Anna knelt on the ground and hugged herself tightly, as if only in this way could she refuse to accept this cowardly title. She suddenly remembered the day when she became a Valkyrie and how determined her will was at that time. But now, her vows and ideals were shattered along with this city. For the first time, she felt how weak she was, so weak that no one could help her.

Just as she was feeling deeply remorseful, a Honkai Emperor hidden in the ruins suddenly blasted through the collapsed building and appeared not far in front of her. The Honkai Emperor, which was over tens of meters tall, emitted enough Honkai energy just to stand there to suffocate her. She was just a Valkyrie who had just been promoted to A-rank, there was no way she could be its opponent.

Panic, helplessness, self-blame, timidity... countless negative emotions affected Anna. She knew that she had nowhere to escape and only death was waiting for her.

But at this moment, she thought of the oath she made when she became a Valkyrie, her dream of becoming a Valkyrie, dedicating everything she had to humanity, fighting to eliminate Honkai at all costs, fearless of hardships, pain, or death, bringing hope to those trapped in disaster, and fighting for every sufferer.

The past events are still vivid in my mind.

"I...will not give up just like that--!"

"So...are you ready to turn the tide?"

Just as Anna tried her best to stand up and fight for her life, a sudden voice sounded from behind her, and the Honkai Emperor was already trapped in a cage made of lightning.

Anna was a little surprised by this sudden scene. She quickly turned around and found that a young man appeared behind her at some point. His smiling face made her feel very safe, as if she would not have to be afraid of anything as long as she stayed with him.

"You are......?"

"St. Freya Academy, Jiang Ming, nice to meet you, Miss Anna Shaniat."

Jiang Ming slowly walked to Anna's side, but Anna was too nervous to hear clearly what he said. Without waiting for her to say anything, Jiang Ming spoke first in a gentle tone.

"Miss Anna, you are also seriously injured now. It is amazing that you can hold on until now. But now, leave it to me."

“But…but…!”

Anna looked at the Honkai Emperor not far away with great concern, fearing that it would break free from its restraints. Seeing her like this, Jiang Ming naturally understood what she was worried about, so he comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, Miss Anna, it will be solved soon."

Jiang Ming faced the Honkai Emperor, whom he had not even glanced at since the beginning. At this moment, the Honkai Emperor was constantly roaring, and it was obvious that he was very angry. Just touching the cage made of lightning would make him feel excruciating pain, and even using Honkai energy to condense a light blade would be of no avail.

Seeing that it looked unconvinced, Jiang Ming stretched out his hand to the Honkai Emperor, then snapped his fingers, and the lightning that enveloped it disappeared. Seeing that the lightning that bound it had disappeared, the Honkai Emperor quickly rushed towards Jiang Ming and the others, emitting dazzling purple light. It was obvious that perhaps it knew that it was no match for Jiang Ming, so even if it had to fight to the death, it had to severely injure them. However, how could Jiang Ming, who was able to kill hundreds of thousands of Honkai beasts, not have a way to deal with it?

Jiang Ming just took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of the Honkai Emperor, who had no time to react at all. A domineering dragon roar sounded, and Jiang Ming punched out. The shell of the Honkai Emperor, which could only destroy a small part of its body even with an anti-tank missile, instantly shattered and was blasted into the collapsed ruins. The sound of broken glass was heard and a lot of smoke and dust accumulated.

"Master the Five Thunders and Thunderbolts!"

To be on the safe side, Jiang Ming condensed a ten-foot lightning spear and threw it out with great effort. With a loud bang, the ruins of the original building were instantly reduced to ashes, and the body of the collapsed emperor disappeared without a trace.

After doing all this, Jiang Ming came back to Anna, who was frightened by the scene in front of him. Anna was still staring at Jiang Ming blankly, but Jiang Ming didn't say anything. He just quickly picked up Anna and ran towards the ground.

Well... she's not as tall as Mei, but she's a little heavier.

By the time Anna reacted, Jiang Ming had already picked her up by the waist. Her face turned red with shame, her body trembled slightly, and her two hands swung back and forth, not knowing where to put them.

"That...that...you...you...I..."

"Miss Anna, I know this may embarrass you, but please forgive me. We don't have much time now. We should save more people now."

Jiang Ming's expression gradually became serious, and he spoke in a tone that could not be refused. Worried that Anna was still worried, Jiang Ming continued.

"Miss Anna, you were trying to seek help from other teams, right? I'm sorry, but the Destiny Valkyrie team that just arrived here, including the Sea Lion, Star Lan and other garrison teams, were almost wiped out. If I'm not mistaken, you're probably the only one who survived in your Snow Lotus team, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to look for other support teams."

"In this case, you will be in danger no matter where you stay. You will be safest only by my side. Please rest assured that I will do my best to protect you and will never let you get hurt again. Anyone who stands in my way will die."

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

Chapter 118 So good

"......"

Jiang Ming kept promising Anna that he would protect her, asking her to relax and believe in herself.

"You...are...what?"

Just when Anna wanted to ask who Jiang Ming was, Jiang Ming suddenly stopped, came to the place that looked like a library, and kept looking around, as if he was looking for something. Soon, he made a discovery.

"Have it!"

Jiang Ming immediately put Anna down gently, and then ran to the ruins. Anna was a little curious at first, but the next second, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Because Jiang Ming suddenly had a fainted little girl in his arms. Although Anna had only met that girl once, she remembered her vividly in her mind. When she passed by here, she saw the little girl crushed in the rubble. She gave up trying to save her because of her cowardice at the time and the ridiculous idea of ​​seeking help that now seemed ridiculous.

Jiang Ming carried the girl to Anna. Seeing this, Anna asked anxiously.

"How is she...?"

Jiang Ming frowned, but after thinking about it, he realized that it would be useless no matter how much he tried. He sighed softly and looked at Anna.

"Don't worry, luckily we arrived in time. She is just fainted temporarily, but her body has been eroded by Honkai energy."

Anna was relieved to hear that she was only temporarily fainted, but Jiang Ming suddenly said that the Honkai energy had already corroded the little girl. She couldn't help but hold her breath, and kept thinking in her heart, if she had been braver at the time, would the result be different?

Seeing Anna's self-blame and panic, Jiang Ming continued.

"Don't worry, Miss Anna, I do have a solution for this."

"what?"

Seeing Anna's puzzled frown, Jiang Ming took out the Honkai energy antibody potion that Dr. Maki had prepared for him not long ago. This potion could permanently increase a person's resistance to Honkai energy. Although it was a small amount, it would not be a problem for her to stay alive at the moment.

After giving the girl the injection, Jiang Ming secretly used the Herrscher of Death's power of creation to heal the girl. The girl's originally pale face gradually turned rosy, and her rapid breathing became smoother. However, Jiang Ming did not heal the wounds on her body. He just bandaged them with bandages to prevent the wounds from being contaminated.

“That’s great, that’s great…”

Anna kept whispering to herself that she was thankful that her desertion had probably been seen clearly by the boy in front of her. But there was no point in saying anything now. As long as the girl was still alive, she was willing to accept any punishment as long as she could still be a Valkyrie.

Soon, under Jiang Ming's careful care, the girl woke up quickly. When she opened her eyes, what she saw was Jiang Ming's surprised expression.

"Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Ming asked softly, as if he was afraid of scaring the girl. The girl seemed to realize that she was saved by the boy in front of her, and nodded obediently.

"Well, I'm fine. I don't feel unwell. Thank you for saving me..."

As the girl spoke, she looked at Anna beside Jiang Ming, and the moment she saw Anna, she was actually a little... scared?

When Anna saw the girl wake up, she didn't dare to look at her, and her eyes kept dodging. She even wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Jiang Ming understood everything immediately after seeing this, so he smiled and comforted the girl.

"It wasn't me who saved you, it was this sister next to me."

"Eh?!!"

"Eh?"

Neither of them seemed to react, especially Anna, whose beautiful light pink eyes were wide open, and she looked surprised and at a loss. In response, Jiang Ming chuckled twice.

"Yes, if this sister hadn't found me in time, you might have been in trouble. So... everything is thanks to this sister Anna."

"oh oh......."

The girl nodded sensibly, then looked at Anna and thanked her.

"Thank...thank you, Sister Anna."

"Ah no...you're welcome."

Anna originally wanted to shake her head to deny it, but when she saw Jiang Ming's unknown smile, she had to nod in agreement.

"By the way, my name is Jiang Ming, what's your name?"

"My name is... Chen Tianwen."
