Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

The warm feeling made Mei's body tremble slightly, which also made her raise her head. With her beautiful face, she looked at Jiang Ming with a dazed, innocent, yet charming look.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but stare blankly, his heartbeat speeding up.

"If you are the murderer of this disaster, then you can't just sit there and wait for death, don't escape, you must do something, can't be so negative, you must make up for your mistakes, and make this world a better place. No matter what, I will always be by your side."

The gentle words made Mei's desperate eyes gradually shine.

"Are you trying to comfort me? Mei is not a child, she won't be... moved by you."

"But... hehe, will you always be by my side?"

It’s so good that in this life, I still have someone like Jiang Ming to accompany me... It’s so good.

Without giving Mei more time to think, Jiang Ming continued: "But! If Mei is not the murderer of this disaster, then we can't wait any longer. Find the murderer and bring her to justice. We can't let the lives of millions of people down like this!"

"Isn't he the murderer? If that's the case, Jiang Ming, I can..."

"Besides, judging from the worst-case scenario, I'm the only one who knows that Mei is the 'murderer'. Humph, Miss Mei, you don't want others to know about this, do you?"

Jiang Ming's expression gradually became a little complacent.

Mei's eyes also changed from despair to looking at a...idiot.

Ah, yes, yes, you are right.

The corners of Jiang Ming's mouth twitched. This can be considered as... helping Mei to recover from her despair, right?

"Ahem, how about this? I'll tell you a secret, Mei. It's about me, a one-of-a-kind secret. If someone knows about it, it will bring me death."

Hearing this, a big question mark appeared on Mei's head. She tilted her head slightly. Her cute look made Jiang Ming unable to bear it.

"Hehe, as you can see, my body is almost all covered in blood, right? Oh, it's all dried up."

Meiyi nodded slightly.

"Also, when I saw Mei, I was shaky and looked like I was going to fall down any second. This proves that I was seriously injured, right?"

Mei then took a closer look at Jiang Ming's body. Indeed, he was covered in blood and his clothes were a little incomplete, but...

"But... there aren't any wounds, right?"

Mei nodded slightly again.

Yeah, why?

"Hehe, that's because I have a special ability. This ability can not only help me recover from all the injuries on my body, but also allow me to reach my own limit. How about that, isn't it awesome? Do you want to know where it comes from?"

Jiang Ming's expression began to get carried away again, like a child showing off his new toy, and explained to Meiyi:

Mei fell into deep thought again. Yes, where did such a strong ability come from? I'm really curious!

Very good, it seems that Mei has been distracted by her curiosity about her own abilities, and Jiang Ming takes advantage of the situation to pursue her.

"Actually, this is because there are some voices in my head from time to time. They give me some choices. When I make these choices, then...what's the matter with the way you look at me, from looking at an idiot to looking at a mental patient?"

Mei's eyes twitched slightly, and she even cautiously stepped back a little.

"Don't be like this, it will really make Mr. Jiang Ming feel inferior."

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came to my ears, and when I looked around, I saw three huge white creatures: Honkai beasts.

The two men stood up hurriedly.

Judging from the appearance, two are tank-class and one is assault-class.

"Ding! Tank-class Honkai Beast: The most common, basic-level Honkai Beast unit, slow in movement. The only thing you need to watch out for is its charged attack with high damage."

"Ding! Advance-level Honkai Beast: A very common Honkai Beast unit, small in size, floating in the air. But its wings can launch sharp cutting attacks, so be careful."

'? System, are you showing up at this time because you look down on my understanding of them?'

System: "......Ding! An event has been detected, start options."

[Choice 1: Pull Raiden Mei and run quickly. ]

[Reward: A pair of running shoes (increases movement speed after wearing)]

[Choice 2: Let Mei Raiden leave and stay behind to cover the retreat]

[Reward: One-time attack of Skyfire (same side effects)]

[Choice 3: Fight alongside Raiden Mei]

[Reward: Gain ability: Master the Five Thunders]

"..."

"Mei, take this." He then handed the 19th style pulse sword to Mei.

"Why... help me? They are coming for me, leave now."

"Hehe, how did Meiyi think I got here? Choose to trust Jiang Ming now."

"If saving you is a sin, then... let me be the sinner."

"I will...stay with you till the end of the world."

Chapter 13: A narrow victory?

"Is it the end of the world?" Mei thought to herself.

"You are so gentle, Jiang Mingjun. I didn't expect to meet you in this desperate world. Then... Meiyi can't just give up like this!"

Meiyi quickly got into the state, and her eyes suddenly became very determined.

Jiang Ming knew that he had no fighting skills, while Mei had the Hokushin Ittoryu inherited from her family.

Beichen Ittoryu is famous for its speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. Every strike is made with full force, and every move is an attack, so...

"Mei, wait for me to control them, and then you can kill them with one strike, is that ok?"

"What! But..."

"Don't worry, even if I get hurt, someone will come forward to show their support. Please take good care of me when the time comes, Meiyi. Trust me!"

"Ah."

Although she felt that Jiang Ming was messing around, for some reason Mei was willing to believe him.

"Okay, then...Hyogaro!"

The icy sky of the cold prison glowed with blue light.

"The bitter cold hell!" The blue light became brighter.

"Ice sky and frozen clouds!" An ice barrier appeared around.

"Show your power in front of others!" Golden airflow spread throughout the body.

Jiang Ming used all his skills as if he was risking his life.

At this moment, he really wants to shout: This is youth!

With the boost from his divine manifestation, Jiang Ming's condition instantly reached its peak again, and his previous physical enhancement made him much stronger than before. So with the blessing of so many skills, the result was...

"Ka...Kaka...Kakaka..." (The sound of Honkai beast being chopped)

Not long after, the three collapsed beasts that were frozen by the "Ice Sky Frozen Cloud" were chopped into pieces by Jiang Ming.

Honkaimon: "Hmm? What's that noise?"

"Ding! The host has completed the selection and the reward has been issued."

"!!!???..."

Mei's expression gradually changed from determination to surprise, then from surprise to confusion, and finally from confusion to speechlessness...

No, that's not right, is it?

Didn't you agree that I would kill him with one strike? How come you killed him all by yourself?

At this moment, Jiang Ming looked at the Honkai beasts that he had killed, and couldn't help but be a little stunned. Was he so powerful? No, they were just three common Honkai beasts. It was normal to kill them instantly. Moreover, the skill he just used could only be used once a day.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming looked at Mei and said modestly.

"Ahahaha, it was a close win, a close win... haha~"

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Ming spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Jiang Ming!" Mei's scream was heard, but Jiang Ming did not hear it. He just said it secretly before fainting.

"Oh my god, it was such a close win."

"Ding! Host... you really know how to play."

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

"Hiss~, it hurts so much, it feels like there are tens of thousands of ants biting my whole body, what happened to me?"

"No, where am I now? How is Mei?" Thinking of this, Jiang Ming opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Hmm... a strange ceiling, but why don't you hate it?"

"Forget it, system, what happened? And where am I now? Where's Mei?"

When you are in doubt, look for the system.

"Ding! Before answering the host's question, could you please tell this system how many times you have used 'Paranormal Activity' today?"

"Uh...it seems like 3 times? Or 4 times?" Jiang Ming said with some confusion.

"Ding! It's 5 times! 5 times!" The system's voice came again, but this time there seemed to be some anger in the tone.

"Eh? 5 times? I'm a little embarrassed, hehe." Jiang Ming wanted to scratch his head, but found that his body was completely unable to move and was still wrapped in bandages, so he had to give up.

"Ding! I'm not praising you, host! Oh, forget it, host, you're really messing around. 'Showing your divine power in public' will help the host recover, but after the battle, the injuries sustained in the battle will be transformed into weakness and added to the host. Repeated use may even leave indelible trauma. In serious cases, the host may not wake up!"

"Hmm? Is that so? It seems that I can't use her much. What about Meiyi?" Jiang Ming didn't care and was still thinking about Meiyi.

"Ding!... Raiden Mei brought the host back to her home after the host fell unconscious, applied ice and bandaged the host, and then went to cook for the host."

"Huh~, I see. It looks like Mei is fine now."

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was at ease.

"Ding! Really, the host should think about himself sometimes!"

"Got it, got it. Please get me a healing potion. Thank you~"

"......Ding! The healing potion has been extracted."

A small green medicine bottle appeared in front of Jiang Ming. After picking it up with difficulty and drinking it, Jiang Ming's condition improved and he barely sat up.

"Ahem, system, open the personal panel."

Host: Jiang Ming

Strength: B-

Status: A bit weak

Faction: None

Weapons: Soul-controlling Blade, Ice Prison, Ice Sky*1, Seven Thunders of Purification*1

Ability: Show your power in front of others, master the five thunders

Well...the Pulse Sword Type 19 was given to Mei.

"Wait." Jiang Ming looked at the surrounding environment.

Well... a very ordinary room.

"Hmm~ It's not Mei's room. I'm a little disappointed."

"System, introduce the mastery of the five thunders."

"Ding! Master the five thunders: Master the five thunders of heaven and earth (being killed by a knife is called gold thunder; being killed by a stick is called wood thunder; being drowned is called water thunder; being burned to death is called fire thunder; being crushed to death by a mud wall is called earth thunder)."

"Hmm...I don't understand it, but it should be struck by lightning, right?"

"Ding! Host, please think so."

"Creaky." The door was opened.
