"Draw the sword!" Another sound was heard, and a wave of fire spread in all directions. All the pink and white monsters that were flying towards Hua were burned to ashes in the flames and dissipated into particles. Only a man was seen holding the hand of a little girl and slowly walking towards Hua.

"Mr. Wang Chen..." Hua almost burst into tears after seeing the other person's appearance. Hua was so scared that she really thought she was going to die at the hands of the monster.

"It's okay now, Hua, I'll fulfill my promise and see you again. I'm sorry that it has to be in such a bad environment." Wang Chen put away the sword, used the power of the magnetic field to lift Hua's body up, and then said.

"Mr. Wang Chen... woof!" Hua threw herself on Wang Chen and sobbed, which made Wang Chen's body tremble. What the hell? Fairy Fu Hua cried? This was even rarer than the sun rising from the west.

"Okay, it's okay. I'll take you away from here and send you to a safe place." Wang Chen looked around, not knowing where he would meet the fifth team of Fire Moths that Xu Hua would encounter later.

"Well... Mr. Wang Chen, can I ask you for a favor?" Hua stopped sobbing and held back her almost violent emotions. She still had something she had to do. She only said, "I want to go back to school! I want to find my friend, Carol, do you remember me?"

Wang Chen nodded and said, "Let's go together."

"You agreed?" Hua looked at Wang Chen in surprise. "Well, Hua, I also hope you can be mentally prepared. Now that the city has become like this, there are some things you should know." Wang Chen said.

"Is it... about those monsters?"

"Yes, this is not the place to talk. Let's go. Don't we have to save your friend? Let's talk while we walk." Wang Chen punched in the direction of the airport. The huge current directly killed all the zombies that wanted to rush out of the door. Then Wang Chen took Hua and Lin to the parking lot. Wang Chen found a car at random, controlled it and activated the key by electromagnetic means, and then drove the car and took the two to the city center.

"There was an obvious deviation just now. Logically speaking, there would be no Honkai beasts there at all. According to the original script, Hua could rely on himself and run to the school to save Carol. Those Honkai beasts... are they really the result of corrosion?" Wang Chen was driving the car, and golden threads appeared in his hands and attached to Hua's body, removing the influence of corrosion in his body.

Chapter 309 Return to School

When Hua was about to flee the airport, Wang Chen originally planned to wait and see for a while, and wait until Hua entered Canghai City before rescuing and helping him. After all, Wang Chen originally wanted to see if he could wake up by following the illusion. But when he saw those suddenly appearing Honkai beasts, Wang Chen realized that it was impossible to follow the illusion by himself, and this illusion was obviously tampered with by the Herrscher of Corrosion.

As for the purpose, it must be the same as the method used to control Yaezakura and Colorless Brilliance before, to break Fu Hua's psychological defense and erode her will. If it was Fu Hua who had a long experience, these despicable means of eroding the Herrscher might not work, but the Fu Hua in front of him was a student who had not experienced those hardships, had a simple mind, and her will was far from that strong. If he wanted to use this as a breakthrough, I'm afraid the situation would not be optimistic.

Not long ago, Wang Chen did sense Hua's soul and will, which were stained with the shadow of despair. Therefore, Wang Chen chose to intervene. Now, Wang Chen has temporarily used the power of dominance to dispel the erosion effect on Hua's body, and the haze between his eyebrows has obviously decreased a lot, and his spirit has also recovered a little. Lin helped to bandage Hua's injured hand and temporarily stopped the bleeding.

"In other words... there is a natural disaster called 'Honkai' in this world, and all this is caused by it? Those humans who turned into zombies... are called dead soldiers, right? And those monsters called 'Honkai beasts' that appeared were all born because of it?" Hua said in disbelief after listening to Wang Chen's introduction to Honkai.

"Well, when the Honkai energy comes, those who have no resistance will be exposed to high concentrations of Honkai energy and will die instantly and turn into blood foam. However, those who have good resistance can temporarily struggle in this environment, such as you, Hua." Wang Chen said slowly.

"I?"

"Well, you can survive thanks to the genes in your body, which have enough resistance to Honkai energy, so you are not in trouble. The most pitiful are those humans who are between no resistance and good resistance like you. They did not die directly, but gradually turned into monsters called dead soldiers under the erosion of Honkai, which are the zombies you just saw." Wang Chen said slowly, "And even if you are a relatively good human like you, if you are eroded by Honkai energy for a long time, it will cause a lot of irreversible damage, and there is also the possibility of turning into a monster."

"Will I... turn into a monster?" Hua was a little panicked. Thinking of those zombies just now, he was suddenly horrified.

"Well, but it is said that the better the human's resistance to Honkai energy, the stronger they will be after becoming a monster, and their behavioral logic will not be like those dead warriors who eat raw meat and drink blood. If you think about it this way, isn't it less scary? Just kidding, think about it in a positive way. Now that I am here, I will not let you turn into a monster." Wang Chen said half-jokingly and half-comfortingly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he never thought that one day he would comfort Fu Hua.

"This joke is not funny at all... But thank you anyway." Hua shook his head, but at least his face was not as concerned as when he heard the news that he had turned into a monster.

"Then... Carol... how is her resistance to Honkai? Will she..." Hua didn't ask any further because she was afraid to hear the answer that would give her a bad feeling.

Wang Chen glanced at Hua's expression in the back seat through the rearview mirror, then slowly said, "Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, she can withstand such an environment. After all, you were in close contact with the dead soldiers. If ordinary people encounter this thing, they will basically either suffer from the collapse disease or die. But you were fine afterwards, right? This proves that both of you are one in a million lucky people."

"Oh...that's great." After hearing Wang Chen's news, Hua's face showed a hint of joy, as if he had heard some good news.

"Keep calm, Hua. I just said the premise, that is, there are no accidents. Well, we are here, there is no time to think too much, just treat it as a practical lesson. Live well in this disaster of collapse. I will teach you some basic ways of survival. This is the price you must pay after knowing the truth of this world."

Wang Chen stopped the car, pointed to Canghai No. 1 Middle School where Hua studied, and then spoke.

"Practical class?"

"There are death warriors and Honkai beasts at the airport. Do you think there will be fewer Honkai beasts and death warriors in a densely populated area like a school? Even though it's almost vacation time, there are still a large number of students living nearby who are still stranded in the school, as well as those school officials. Tsk... I'm afraid the danger level inside is not worse than the airport." Wang Chen opened the car door, got out, picked up a katana, and then said, "I will teach you to identify the weaknesses and movements of those Honkai beasts. Maybe you can't beat those Honkai beasts now, but at least you should have no problem dealing with a few death warriors and escaping unscathed."

"Trust Brother Wang Chen, he's very capable." Lin also echoed.

Hua nodded, then stretched out his hand, pointed in a certain direction, and said, "Then...please follow me, the school dormitory building is over there."

……

Along the way, Wang Chen did not use big AOE like the Skyfire to harvest the dead soldiers and the collapsed beasts, but really did as he said, using simple and unpretentious slashing, stabbing, cutting and other actions to eliminate those rushing-level collapsed beasts and dead soldiers. Wang Chen even patiently explained to Hua some common attack methods of these monsters, how to parry, how to dodge, etc...

Wang Chen also deliberately slowed down his movements, killing those assassins at the speed that humans can exert. Although Hua was worried about his friend and a little anxious, he still suppressed his impatience and studied slowly when he thought of Wang Chen's patience in teaching him. Even Lin, who had no fighting ability, was watching carefully, gesturing with her little hands.

Soon after, they entered the girls' dormitory. Hua went to her room first, but didn't see Carol. Then she went to Carol's room. Hua didn't have a key, so she could only knock on the door and asked softly, "Carol, it's me, Hua, are you in there?"

However, there was no sound in the room. Hua swallowed her saliva. She didn't know whether Carol was not in the room or had met with an accident in the room. At this time, Wang Chen came to the door of the room and used electromagnetic force to break the lock and force the door open. The scene in the room was in a mess. There were even a few pools of blood on the ground and a body that was already bloody and began to smell blood. After seeing this, Hua felt sad. Why? Why did it happen? Was she still a step too late? Would she never see her best friend again in this life?

"No...this is not true." Hua covered his mouth and said sadly.

"Don't be anxious! Hua! Look carefully, these are not Carol's clothes!" Wang Chen said, pointing at the corpse on the ground.

"Eh?" Hua looked carefully and found that the other person was wearing the same campus uniform as himself. Hua remembered that Carol had a roommate named Chen, a third-year senior who was preparing for the college entrance examination, so she did not leave school.

"Senior Chen...she is very nice to us. Sometimes we would ask her for help when we have difficulties with our studies. I didn't expect..." Although it was not Carol, Hua did not feel any better. Witnessing the death of an acquaintance was still a huge blow to him.

"Hua, disasters are like this. The dead cannot be resurrected, so please accept my condolences. And at least, your friend may still be alive, right?" Wang Chen patted Hua on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

Hua nodded, walked out of the room, slowly closed the door, and stared at the corpse until the door was finally closed.

Chapter 310: Principal? School Principal!

"Let's go. It seems that there is no trace of Carol here. Maybe she is hiding somewhere else. Let's continue to look for her nearby. By the way, have you sent your text message?" Wang Chen said, patting Hua's back, who had been standing at the door of Carol's room, mourning for the dead senior.

"No, since the disaster, the cell phone signal has been interrupted. I can't send messages to Carol, let alone make a call." Hua looked at the phone again, shook his head and said.

"We can only look for it somewhere else for now. Where are the places you go most often on campus? Also, where in the school is there an enclosed space that can resist monsters from the outside world? Think about it carefully." Wang Chen instructed.

"Yes... Carol likes sports very much, so we often go to the playground, training room, indoor basketball court and other places for activities. Of course, we occasionally go to the library to study. Because Carol's grades are not very ideal, she often needs extra classes." Hua said, "Besides that, if there is any place that can block the outside world, it is only the principal's office. It is said that due to some personal reasons of the principal, a metal automatic explosion-proof door was specially built. So what the principal's office looks like has become one of the seven unsolved mysteries of the campus."

"Is there such a strange thing? But let's go to the places Carol often goes to first." Wang Chen said.

Hua nodded and followed Wang Chen silently. Seeing this, Lin wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but got no response. She felt a little disappointed. Then she asked Wang Chen through the synchronous link: "Brother Wang Chen, is Sister Fu Hua really okay? She looks very bad."

"Well... because there are always Corrosion Herrschers secretly corroding Fu Hua. These shocking scenes seem to be intentional by the Corrosion Herrscher. I have been constantly using the power of dominance to eliminate those corrosive effects. But this is only a temporary solution, I can eliminate those corrosive effects, but I can't rely on strength to truly eliminate the sadness in people's hearts. This negative emotion that comes from within can only be resolved by herself." The golden thread in Wang Chen's hand was always connected to Hua, and he could keenly feel the changes in the other party's emotions, and said slowly.

"Should we continue looking? I'm afraid that if we find Carol, it might be a trap set by the Herrscher. Maybe Carol has already..."

Lin didn't say anything else, but Wang Chen understood what Lin meant. He said slowly, "I understand what you mean, but this is an open conspiracy. As long as Hua is determined to find Carol, we will definitely step in. I just hope we can be mentally prepared for this."

"Why don't we try to do as we did with Sister Huihuo before and tell Sister Fuhua the truth first to see if we can wake her up?" Lin asked.

"Other people might be able to try this, but... Fu Hua can't." Wang Chen sighed and said.

"why?"

"Her memory... is too long. She in reality is completely different from the Hua in the illusion. The recovery of memory requires empathy and association, but Fu Hua is too special. Her memory is intermittent, and the connection between the past and the present is too weak. Therefore, even if I tell her the truth now, she will not believe it, let alone wake up." Wang Chen looked at the timid Hua now. Not to mention compared with the current Fu Hua and the Chiyuan Immortal in the past, even compared with the Hua in the pre-civilization hero period, there has been a huge change.

"It's too long...is the memory intermittent?" Lin pondered.

"When you see more about your sister Fu Hua, you will naturally know." Wang Chen said slowly.

……

Afterwards, Wang Chen took Lin and Hua to the places Hua mentioned, but they didn't find Carol. There were only dead soldiers and some Honkai beasts. Every time Hua saw that Carol was not at the scene, she became more and more uneasy. She wanted to find Carol, but she didn't want to really find Carol. Because Hua was afraid that when she found Carol, she would see a corpse like Sister Chen.

After searching the library, they went to several remote and enclosed spaces, but still couldn't find Carol's whereabouts. Now there was only one place left, and that was the strange principal's office.

"What are you going to do if you still can't find it in the principal's office?" Wang Chen asked.

"The only places left are probably Carol's home, the game hall, and Jinshan Beach. If we can't find it in those places..." Hua didn't continue, but held back his grief, closed his eyes, and said, "If we can't find it, let's stop here. I can't keep bothering Mr. Wang Chen because of my willfulness."

"Okay." Wang Chen stroked Hua's head, comforting his body that was shaking with sadness, and said, "After that, if you want to cry, just cry. There won't be any dead soldiers or Honkai beasts to disturb you. I promise."

"Well... Thank you, Mr. Wang Chen." Hua wiped the tears that were about to flow, and with a forced smile, he and Wang Chen walked to the last principal's office in the school that had not yet been explored. When they arrived at the top floor of the Academic Affairs Building, Wang Chen showed a strange look. Who would use such a bank-level explosion-proof door at the door of their office? It was really speechless.

Wang Chen first took a symbolic look, found a device for calling for help inside, pressed the doorbell, and then put his ear against the metal door, using the power of the magnetic field to listen for any response from inside the room.

"Bang!" It sounded like something fell, and then there was no sound. Wang Chen pressed the button again and again, but apart from the first sound, he heard no other sound.

"Is there no one inside?" Hua asked worriedly.

"No, there are people inside... or whether it is a person or not is not clear yet, anyway, there must be something that can move inside." Wang Chen was sure that he did not hear the voice wrongly. He was ready to break the door and said, "You two go to the back, I don't know what might come out of it later. Anyway, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"Okay!" The two nodded in agreement and took a dozen steps back.

"Break it for me!" In the face of electromagnetic force, any electromagnetic-related technological products are useless. Wang Chen cracked the combination lock of the explosion-proof door with one turn, making a dull sound, and then Wang Chen pulled the metal door open.

"Ah!! Don't come over here! Don't move!! If you dare to get closer... get one step closer! I will... I will shoot!" A scream came from inside, but Wang Chen felt that the voice sounded so familiar.

However, at this moment, the synchronous link automatically transmitted a monologue in his mind: "Monster! This guy is simply a monster! The explosion-proof door I carefully set up was blown open by his punch! It turns out that what the novels say is true! The end of the world is coming! In addition to zombies, there are also these unexpectedly evolved superpowers! What should I do, what should I do, will the gun work on him?"

At this time, Wang Chen showed a strange look. Without saying anything in his heart, just by looking at the other person's appearance, Wang Chen already knew who the other person was.

"Principal Theresa? Why are you here?" Wang Chen said.

Chapter 311: Deceiving Theresa

"Principal Theresa? Why are you here?" Wang Chen was puzzled. He never expected that he would find Theresa first instead of Carol. Wang Chen was very sure that the other person was Theresa who was pulled into the illusion, not a fictional character. After all, he heard Theresa's inner voice from the synchronization link.

"What's that, Theresa? My name is Trili! I don't care who you are! Get out of my room right now! There's nothing you want here!" Theresa looked alert and didn't recognize Wang Chen at all. Wang Chen shook his head, completely ignoring the pistol Theresa took out, and just walked in.

"It's over, it's over. He looks so fearless. Could it be that my gun really has no effect on him? Was my tone too harsh? These are the only food and water I have. If I give them all to him, will he let me go? I heard that in doomsday scenarios, some bullies will kill people after stealing food and water to eliminate future troubles. There are even more perverted guys who will rape and kill women... wuwuwu!"

At this time, Theresa's frightened voice once again entered Wang Chen's mind, making Wang Chen unable to help laughing. Where did Theresa see these strange novel plots?

"Okay, Theresa, calm down. It's me, Wang Chen." Wang Chen directly used the power of the synchronous link to communicate with Theresa.

"Who! Who is talking in my head? Damn it!" Theresa was startled and thought to herself.

"It's me, the guy standing in front of you who you thought was an invader. Do you remember me, Principal? I'm Wang Chen. You are the principal of St. Freya Academy." Wang Chen began to pass the synchronization link, trying to awaken Theresa's memory.

"You!! You can hear what I'm thinking?! You can even speak in my mind!? Is this a psychic power? Hmm... my head hurts, so much information... Principal? St. Freya Academy? Wang Chen? Such familiar terms." Theresa began to cover her head, unable to digest all this information for a while.

"Principal, come with me. This is not a place to stay for long." Wang Chen felt that Theresa's memory had begun to recover, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that at least he didn't need to be treated like Fu Hua.

"Wait! What do you mean by going with you? You want to take me away by filling my head with all this nonsense. Who are you? Don't think that just because you... you have super powers, you can do whatever you want!" Theresa said bravely and tremblingly.

"Alas... It seems that it will take some time. Never mind, I'll just lie." Wang Chen thought helplessly, and then Wang Chen changed his expression, looking serious, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Theresa. Theresa was startled, but did not pull the trigger. Instead, she was so scared that she couldn't hold the gun steadily and dropped it on the ground. Wang Chen shook his head, picked up the gun that fell on the ground and put it on the table, then grabbed Theresa's hands with both hands and said, "Theresa..."

"What Theresa? My name is Trilili!" Theresa insisted.

"It's all the same, Trili, actually... I am a reborn person." Wang Chen said abruptly.

"Eh? A reborn person?" Theresa was stunned.

"Yes, I was reborn from the future to the present. Today, a doomsday-like disaster will break out in this city. A large number of people will die, and only a few will survive. I was reborn and came back with supplies in advance. I originally planned to find you as soon as possible, but in order to snatch the potion that can awaken me into a super-powered person, I was delayed for some time, and ended up waiting until the doomsday. Fortunately, you are fine. I am here to take you away from this dangerous place." Wang Chen began his story-making session, which scared Theresa.

"Why...why did you come to see me?" Theresa asked uncertainly.

"Don't you understand, Theresa..."

"Terili..."

"It's the same. You've been using the name Theresa since then." Wang Chen looked nostalgic and sad, as if reminiscing, and said, "Actually, you are my future wife."

"Cough cough cough cough!!!" Even though she didn't drink the water, Theresa almost choked on the saliva she had just swallowed when she heard this. She widened her eyes and looked at Wang Chen in disbelief.

"I know this is hard to accept. What I just showed you were actually some memories from the future. Just now I was wondering, if I was reborn, would you be reborn with me? After all, we died together in the future. So I thought you were also reborn and carried the memories of your previous life, but you haven't woken up yet. That's why I just made such a test and instilled our memories into you." Wang Chen said affectionately, "Theresa..."

"Terlili... Never mind, you can call me whatever you want. So that's it, you're a reborn person, right? But I still don't believe it unless you can answer my questions!"

"70 cm, 58 cm, 73 cm." Before Theresa could ask any questions, Wang Chen silently blurted out a stream of strange numbers.

"??? What?" Theresa was stunned after hearing this.

"Measurements? Aren't you going to ask me a question?" Wang Chen said.

"Who asks such a question! I'm asking you what my favorite thing is!" Theresa said angrily.

"Oh, I like bitter melon juice. I love reading comics and novels. Is that okay?" Wang Chen said.

"He actually knew... and the measurements just now were extremely accurate. Add to that the information just poured into my brain... it's so huge that it doesn't seem like false information at all. Could he really be my future husband?" Theresa did not agree to Wang Chen immediately, but began to think about it.

"Damn it, I really got away with it like this." After hearing Theresa's thoughts, Wang Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Captain, the principal has a low IQ... ahem, he is extremely intelligent and has lost his memory. Is it really okay for you to deceive him like this?" Femilis, who had been watching all this, complained.

"There's no other way. This is not just for the sake of allowing her to quickly understand the current situation and leave with us. Being able to find Theresa in this illusion is already a very good gain." Wang Chen said.

"Um... Mr. Wang Chen, how are you handling the situation here? Is Carol in there?" At this time, Hua Helin also came to the door, and Hua asked in a low voice.

"Eh? Classmate Hua? Didn't you go back already?" Theresa was stunned when she saw Hua at the door and said.

"Eh? Principal Telili, you're okay. That's great..." After Hua saw someone he knew who survived, his uneasy heart calmed down a lot.

"Do you two know each other?" Wang Chen asked.

"Yes, I have achieved excellent results in sports competitions before, and Principal Terry personally awarded me a medal." Hua nodded and said, "Principal Terry, are you the only one in the whole school? What about the others? Are there any survivors?"

"Alas...Except for me, you and Carol, there are no other survivors in this campus." Theresa said with a sigh.

"Wait? Carol? Have you seen her?" Hua asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have. By the way, the pistol in my hand was given to me by her for self-defense. This child's parents are from the military region, so she has two special weapons. She gave one to me to protect myself. After taking some food and drinking water from me, she ran out of the school alone."

Theresa said, recalling her previous memories.

"Huh? Ran out of the campus? Then where did she go? Do you know?" Hua asked hurriedly.
