Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

'So handsome...' Although she saw him often, Anna still felt a brief heartbeat.

Wendy's face is gradually maturing. Although there is still some childishness on her face, she is more bold and courageous.

The hair is a mixture of black and green, naturally with a touch of coolness.

Even though Anna knew very well what kind of person Wendy was, her apparent coldness was still one of her biggest weapons against her.

That's true. After all, the lover who looks cold and handsome on weekdays is actually a soft and gentle sweet girl... It's really too cute.

"Get in the car." Wendy patted the back seat and shouted to Anna who was in a daze. "It really worked."

In fact, Wendy is also a little bit scheming. Whether it is her hairstyle, expression or the movements when getting on the car, she has specially designed them.

The purpose is to show it to Anna.

Although she didn't know who it was, Wendy expressed her highest gratitude to the blogger named [Confidence Pure 1] on the forum.

Although Wendy doesn't think there is a distinction between "who is the T" in her relationship with Anna.

They just simply like each other as girls. In bed, it doesn't matter who is on top.

But Wendy is still willing to think of some small ways to please her lover occasionally.

"Oh oh." Anna secretly gave herself two punches and happily jumped into the back seat of Wendy's car. "Ouch! I'm obviously the senior!"

Even though I am the older one!

But Wendy is handsome, has long legs, and long fingers, so she can reach places that I can't reach...

She was screaming in her heart, but her body honestly wrapped around Wendy's slender waist, and her full breasts pressed tightly against Wendy's back.

"boom!"

With the roar of the accelerator, they "set off" on the road back to the base.

----

"Yohoo? Are you back?" Captain Erwin raised his hand and waved when he saw Wendy and Anna returning to the base. "I thought you two were planning to stay out all night."

"Oh!"

Erwin's words made Wendy and Anna blush at the same time.

"Tsk tsk tsk...you're still so shy even after being crushed~" Erwin grinned with a funny expression.

The sound insulation of the base is very good...

Oh, by the way, although the rooms in the Valkyrie Base are single rooms, they are actually equipped with double beds.

More than half a year ago, the two of them moved in together.

Of course, Erwin had never seen what Wendy and Anna did, but... occasionally during their morning exercises, they would appear to be extra energetic... That expression definitely didn't mean nothing had happened.

But there is one very strange thing that Erwin has never understood...

Obviously, you can see people making outrageous remarks on the forum every day, and there are only a few Valkyries... Logically speaking, the ratio of Valkyries should be very high.

But Erwin has been around for so long, and the only couple he has really seen is Wendy and Anna...

There is a feeling that 'the louder you shout on the Internet, the more useless it is in reality'.

"Ahem, Captain." Anna coughed twice. As a 'senior', she had to protect Wendy. "Through these few sorties, Wendy and I both believe that the strength of the Honkai beasts has been gradually increasing in recent days."

As A-rank Valkyries, although Anna's strength is slightly inferior to Wendy's now, it is not difficult for her to single out today's Honkai Beast, which is nominally a tiger-type Honkai Beast but is actually a 'cat'.

But Wendy found that the difficulty of chasing them was indeed increasing in the past few days.

With Anna's speed, she often fails to catch up with the opponent, and their speed is gradually increasing.

"Oh, it's this matter. I was just about to tell you about it." After hearing Anna's words, Alvin remembered what he was about to say before.

"The captain has completely forgotten, right?" Anna's eyes twitched. The captain was just so busy teasing them that he forgot about the most important things, right? ! Absolutely!

"Forget it, we know the captain's personality." Wendy and Anna looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"So, Captain, what do you want to talk about?" Wendy asked after she and Anna sat down together.

"Take a look at this." Erwin opened the Valkyrie forum.

Although there are indeed a lot of girls gathered here, it is actually the official forum of Tianming. Every time Tianming has something important to announce, it will be posted here and pinned to the top.

"This is..."

[On the recent abnormal increase in Honkai energy and the increase in Honkai beast strength]

This is not an ordinary post from Valkyrie, because the signature below is...

[Archbishop] Otto Apocalis, [Principal of St. Freya Academy] Cecilia Shaniat, [S-class Valkyrie] Kiana Atagina

There is an exclusive certification in front of each name.

Although Kiana's certification is a very simple [S-level Valkyrie], everyone knows how valuable Kiana's S-level is. If Kiana herself hadn't said that SSS-level sounds strange, then Kiana is probably the only SSS-level in Destiny.

All in all, this post is definitely one of the most authoritative posts in Destiny.

The content is actually very simple...

In fact, the Valkyries' "I feel" has become a certification of destiny.

After investigating the data, it was found that the global Honkai energy is indeed increasing, and the strength of Honkai beasts has also been further enhanced. The probability of Honkai beasts being born in various regions has increased, the initial strength of Honkai beasts has increased, and the possibility of Honkai beasts being upgraded has increased. However, no increase in the frequency of the birth of [superior] Honkai beasts has been found.

"In other words...Honkai has indeed become stronger?" Anna and Wendy looked unhappy when they saw this post.

Recently, as the probability of Honkai beasts appearing has increased, they have to run field missions once or twice almost every day.

Although the city they are stationed in is Manila, Manila is an international metropolis. Even if the Valkyrie's energy is indeed stronger than that of an ordinary person, it is not a good thing for her to run around like this every day.

Even the most intimate thing between Anna and Wendy these days is holding hands and kissing. They have no energy to do anything else.

"Not only that, the Archbishop has also declared a level 4 combat readiness status." Erwin said something that made Wendy and Anna's expressions suddenly change.

The term "state of combat readiness" actually exists in all countries, and the definitions are similar.

For the Valkyrie, the fourth level of combat readiness means "strengthening combat readiness duty and situation research, maintaining smooth communications, and strengthening patrol vigilance."

Not only the Valkyries in the [Garrison Squad] in the city, but even the [Support Squad], [Rescue Squad], and [Logistics Squad] must take action to a certain extent.

Level 4 combat readiness is generally a warning level for S-level disasters and above. In other words, when Destiny enters level 4 combat readiness, there is a high probability that an Imperial-level or equivalent Honkai disaster will occur worldwide.

"Since I was born, I have never seen Destiny enter a state of combat readiness..." Anna said in a low voice.

"No, strictly speaking, Anna, you must have seen it since you were born." Hearing Anna's whisper, Erwin reminded her. "In 2000, Destiny activated the first level of combat readiness, which is the [Second Sequence Collapse]."

The Second Great Collapse was an epic battle for Sinister, as many S-class Valkyries were born in that battle, including Kiana Atagena, who had maintained the title of "the strongest" for more than a decade.

But...these are just common people's legends.

The fact of [Second Sequence Great Collapse] was not announced by either Destiny or Anti-Entropy, and Destiny described the terrifying power of the legendary [Second Herrscher]... Well, although no matter from what angle.

Regardless of whether the [Second Herrscher] is Sirin or Kiana, their strength is indeed terrifying.

"Yeah, that's true." Anna hesitated for a moment and nodded. Although she was born not long ago when the [Second Sequence Great Collapse] occurred, she did experience it...

"In short, it's fine as long as the order is conveyed." Erwin sighed. "As the main Valkyrie, you only need to attack."

"Ah, that's true." Anna nodded. "Where's Rossetti?"

The only support Valkyrie in their team is Rossetti.

By the way, the [Support Squad] and the [Emergency Assistance Squad] are different.

The Valkyries of the [Support Class] are all graduates of the Support Department, and they are majoring in intelligence. They will determine a series of data such as the location, intensity, and number of Honkai beasts of the Honkai in the shortest possible time, and convey this data to each member. Moreover, when the [Garrison Class] initiates a call for help, the [Support Class] will convey the message to the nearest [Rescue Class] as quickly as possible.

The [Rescue Squad] is a combat-type Valkyrie. They do not perform garrison missions, but are combatants who arrive at the battlefield as quickly as possible when the [Garrison Squad] Valkyrie in any area initiates a request for support.

Among them, Siegfried and Yulandel are the leaders of the [Rescue Team].

Strictly speaking, people like Kiana, Sirin, even Cecilia and the heads of other branches all belong to the [Rescue Team].

The [Logistics Squad] is the team that handles all the aftermath, whether it's the ruins after the battle, the rescue of survivors, or anything else, all are the responsibility of the [Logistics Squad].

"In the main control room." Erwin shrugged.

If Anna and Wendy are field staff running around every day, then Rossetti is the office staff sitting in the main control room.

But in the past few days, Rossetti's eyes are almost bulging out of his head after looking at all kinds of data.

After the combat readiness state is activated, the Valkyries of the [Support Class] are often the most tired, because they have to look at countless data all the time and closely monitor every place where a Honkai disaster may occur.

"She has worked so hard..." Anna lit a candle silently in her heart, hoping that she was okay.

"So, how long will this state of combat readiness last?" Wendy asked.

"It's hard to say... The content of the meeting just now was about the abnormal increase in Honkai energy this time... If nothing unexpected happens, then this war preparedness may have to continue until three [S-level disasters] break out globally before it can be lifted.

"【S-level disaster】..." Wendy's eyes darkened when she heard the name.

When her hometown was destroyed, it was because of an [S-level disaster]. Although Wendy later found out from the information that no [Emperor-level] was born in that [S-level disaster].

However, there were two alien [Honkai Emperors] and several highest-level alien Honkai beasts that arrived.

On that occasion, Theresa, who had been secretly criticized by someone as an [S-level goalkeeper], showed her strength as an S-level Valkyrie. She cleared the entire battlefield alone and let many people know a fact.

[S-Class Valkyrie] Even if she is at the bottom, her strength is extremely terrifying.

Perhaps because of Theresa's precedent, the contemporary [S-class goalkeeper] Rita has not received much criticism.

Of course, in fact, Theresa, who was criticized as an [S-level goalkeeper] at the time, was not at the bottom at the time, because there were several people who were weaker than her, such as Salome Jokanaan, Shub-Nicholas, Shigure Kirara and others... Their strength was actually inferior to Theresa's.

It's just that Theresa's acquisition of the S-class title was delayed by Otto, and because she looked small and young, she was considered the weakest.

"Wendy..." Anna held Wendy's hand distressedly.

"...I'm fine." Wendy came back to her senses and shook her head at Anna's worried look. "I'm just a little... Never mind."

"No matter what, I am no longer the little girl who was completely powerless in the face of the collapse."

Although Wendy hated the Honkai that took away everything she once had, she would not resent anyone else.

For her, everything that happened in the past is in the past. Now she has to take on the responsibility as a Valkyrie to protect more people.

This is also the reason why Wendy resolutely rejected the better life that Theresa could arrange for her and chose to become a Valkyrie.

C.126 Combat

"No, it's too late to save him." When Anna and Wendy arrived, the overly strong Honkai energy had already caused infection.

The person infected with Honkai energy did not feel anything special at first, but as time went on, he had been completely eroded by Honkai energy without even realizing it.

Honkai Impact 3 is such a terrible thing. In many cases, most units will not die or mutate the moment they are infected with Honkai Impact 3.

That kind of situation would only occur when an extremely high-intensity collapse disaster breaks out.

In most cases, if humans or other things are infected with Honkai energy, their thinking will continue to change.

It's like a person who is rapidly becoming ill. There won't be any obvious changes on the surface, but in fact the thinking has changed completely.

When such alienation reaches a limit, the original "personality" will completely disappear, and what replaces it is actually just a simulation of the original personality, something similar to AI, that is, a "death soldier."

But just like the living people don't know what the dead are thinking, humans cannot understand the dead soldiers. When humans become dead soldiers, the dead soldiers will use the knowledge of their original personality to a certain extent, but their ultimate goal is still to attack others.

"He has been completely alienated." This is a rare male death warrior...

I don’t know if it’s because of the stigma factor or some other reason, but women’s adaptability to Honkai energy is on average higher than men’s. But also because of this, most women have a high probability of turning into zombies after being infected with Honkai energy.

After being infected with Honkai energy, only a small number of men can turn into zombies, and the vast majority of them disappear completely in the "devouring" of Honkai energy.

The man in front of him is perhaps a rare one, a man with good adaptability to Honkai energy.

It's a pity that he couldn't withstand the "further erosion of Honkai energy", so he became a dead man under the erosion of Honkai energy.

Becoming a death warrior means entering a whole new stage.

The dead soldiers will no longer be restricted by the adaptability of Honkai energy. They will only continue to grow in Honkai energy until they reach the limit of the [lower level].

Of course, there are some exceptions... that is, exposure to overly powerful Honkai energy in a short period of time may even cause the self-destruction of the dead soldiers or even the Honkai beasts.

"Carry out the execution." Anna clenched the sword in her hand.

By the time Anna truly became a Valkyrie, Kiana's [Anti-Honkai Vaccine V1] was already very common, so almost no one would be infected by Honkai energy.

Therefore, Anna has rarely seen humans being destroyed and turned into zombies or dead soldiers.

Although I am not unable to do it, I can't help but feel a strong sense of guilt in my heart.
