The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

My mouth felt sour.

…The contents of my stomach moved up my throat.

Without even having the time to rush into the bathroom, Li Shubai just turned his back to the door and vomited out all the food in his throat, which was probably what he had just eaten in the morning.

I don’t know how long it took... When the feeling of emptiness in his stomach was filled with emptiness again, Li Shubai, who was almost exhausted, leaned against the door and let his body slowly slide down.

Although he had vomited out everything in his stomach, the feeling of nausea still lingered in Li Shubai's chest, with no sign of relief.

"The one just now..." Li Shubai said to himself in a daze, panting, "Is he... a death warrior?"

Pale skin.

Bloody pieces of meat.

Distorted appearance.

The clerk who was checking me out a minute ago turned into that kind of thing right under my nose.

"No... this... is not right..." Li Shubai couldn't help but bury his face in his arms as he murmured with a hint of crying.

Although Li Shubai's life was ruined after the time travel, in a sense, he probably didn't care much about his own life, but... As expected, things you hate are things you hate, things you fear are things you fear, and disgusting things make people feel like vomiting.

He felt sick at his own superficiality and thoughtlessness.

He had clearly already understood what the collapse was through the setting of the game Honkai Impact 3rd, and he also knew from the plot that Changkong City was the location where the third Honkai Impact broke out. But until just now, until he actually witnessed it all, he was still not mentally prepared to face all of this, to face the collapse.

——The so-called collapse refers to the large-scale death of humans.

The alienated corpses, the disintegrating pieces of flesh, and those who were crying... were originally human "dead soldiers".

What a stupid idiot! Li Shubai cursed himself in his heart while sobbing and gritting his teeth.

The third collapse caused the deaths of millions of residents of Changkong City. When Li Shubai watched this cold and empty description become a reality before his eyes, he regretted it. He regretted it so much that he wanted to beat his former self severely.

Although the third collapse had no direct causal relationship with him, it was also a fact that he knew it would happen someday in the future, but he did not take any actual action for it. The endless sense of guilt almost crushed his not-so-strong body.

"No..." The moment he realized that even if he continued to be depressed he would not be able to change the current situation, Li Shubai wiped the corners of his eyes fiercely, wiping away the few tears that remained there.

He stood up, walked around the pool of vomit in front of him, ran into the bathroom to wash his face, then took a glass of cold water and gargled.

To wash away the nausea, Li Shubai forced himself to endure the slight pain in his abdomen and ate the bread he had just bought. After eating until he was 70% full, he walked into the storage room and took out a sword.

Although not as good as those of the Raiden family, the members of the Anti-Entropy belonging to the Raiden Ryoma family are almost all excellent swordsmanship masters, and Li Shubai's parents in this world are no exception. He put the sharpened sword on his back and returned to the bedroom. After a slight hesitation, he put the smartphone that he had hidden well in his pocket.

He had no attachment to people and things in this world. His classmates had already turned against each other. In the past few months, his parents, who had devoted their whole heart to the company under the name of Lei Dian Long Ma, were implicated and imprisoned without even meeting them. Although he could not be said to have no feelings, Li Shubai also used his professional knowledge to do something bad to Cocolia who framed them and put them in prison. But from the bottom of his heart, Li Shubai still could not have much feelings for his cheap parents in this world.

The only thing he has left is the smartphone that came into this world with him.

He placed his palm on the door handle, and his throat, which had just been hydrated, began to feel hot again.

His tongue was dry, and the hand holding the door handle was motionless and trembling slightly. He was not used to fighting, nor was he used to being attacked, and even less used to those inhuman foreign objects.

He was just an ordinary person. He hated pain and fear. Even though he knew that there was a high probability that he was about to die, he still didn't want to die so easily.

The heart beating like crazy, the body shaking continuously without the brain's control, the cold sweat that was about to soak his clothes, all of these were sending Li Shubai a survival signal derived from biological instinct.

Are you serious?

You just ran back here in extreme embarrassment from outside, are you really ready for what you will encounter after leaving this door? !

"I don't want to become that kind of thing." A trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Li Shubai bit his lips hard, using the stinging sensation to make his body, which was stiff and unable to move, return to a state where it could move.

I will definitely die.

Even if you stay quietly at home, it is impossible to wait for rescue before you die.

He raised his arm, and the exposed skin was pale and bloodless. The dense blood vessels in his body emitted an ominous red light, spreading from his wrist to the inside of his body.

Just by being in the area where the Honkai erupted, the dense Honkai energy in the air had already invaded his body without him noticing.

At this moment, Li Shubai is gradually becoming what those people outside have already become.

"Death Soldier"

If I stand still, I will definitely die.

If I go outside, I will still be killed since I haven't completely transformed myself into a death warrior.

Since I'm going to die anyway, at least I should make it to the end as a human being.

but.

If you want to die as a human, then why do you want to go out?

Wouldn't it be better to commit suicide?

Holding the sword in his hand, he stabbed his own neck cleanly and neatly. Even a dead man would not be able to survive.

When I think about it this way, the motivation that drives me to leave the house is probably not just the desire to survive.

Li Shubai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after preparing himself mentally to face everything, he exerted force on his palms and opened the door.

It was a sunny sky not long ago, but with a roar of thunder under the scorching sun, dark clouds rolled and gathered together.

The color of the sky was no longer flawless blue, but became like a block of lead, so heavy that it seemed like it would fall down at any second.

The street scene that had just been able to maintain order when I ran home was now in complete chaos, with unmanned vehicles scattered all over the place, like toys placed randomly by children.

Li Shubai looked around at the scene outside the door. Many male drivers in the driving seats died without even having the chance to become dead soldiers. Their skin was disintegrating like plaster, and their remains were eaten by the people who had turned into dead soldiers, making a crunching sound that made one's scalp tingle.

Gulp! Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Li Shubai suppressed his fear and uneasiness, couldn't help swallowing, and then quickly observed the things around him. Finally, he locked his eyes on a motorcycle leaning against the side of the road with the engine still on.

The straight-line distance was about 25 meters, and there was only one assassin blocking the road.

One, two, three. After surveying the target's situation, Li Shubai counted silently for three seconds in his mind. Then he gritted his teeth and rushed out suddenly, as agile as a cheetah.

Thanks to his habit of morning exercise, Li Shubai's physical fitness is quite good among ordinary people. Although the physical functions and movement speed of these dead warriors who were just ordinary people in their lifetime have been greatly enhanced, they rely on instinct and lose their reason, so their reaction speed is not fast.

"Get out of my way!" The metallic hissing of the blade being unsheathed mixed with Li Shubai's roar as he tried to suppress his fear attracted the attention of the assassins.

Swish! However, even with all his strength, Li Shubai's sword could not completely cut off the neck of the assassin. The sharp blade was stuck in the center after penetrating into the bone.

Damn... Not only my body functions, but even my bone strength has become like a monster.

After realizing his misjudgment, Li Shubai released his hands that were holding the knife handle without hesitation, gave up his only weapon, then turned around, raised his legs high, and kicked out the dead man whose neck was cut in half.

Li Shubai kicked away the assassins who were blocking his way, and before the other assassins who heard the noise and focused their attention rushed over, he got on a motorcycle that had been temporarily parked on the side of the road by some poor guy and hadn't even been turned off. He squeezed the clutch with his left hand, quickly adjusted the gear, and then at the moment of releasing the clutch, he stepped on the accelerator with his right hand to the maximum in one breath!

Rumble—the motorcycle's engine made a low roar, black mist spread out of the exhaust pipe, and then the rider carrying him broke through the air without hesitation and rushed out.

Although he was extremely lucky to find this heavy motorcycle of unknown model not far from his home, Li Shubai obviously did not have the time to wear a helmet and protective gear.

The cold wind like a knife mercilessly hit his face exposed to the air. The scene of the city quickly receded. In order to endure the strong wind, Li Shubai had to bend down, with his upper body almost lying on the motorcycle engine covered by the resin pressure pump.

Li Shubai's heart was beating violently as he rode a motorcycle through the city at high speed.

The chaotic streets of Changkong City today are an insurmountable problem for any driver. Although he can indeed drive a motorcycle, no matter how good a rider is, it is impossible to ride smoothly in a chaotic city like Changkong City that has lost all order, including traffic laws.

Li Shubai was able to fully control this super heavy motorcycle weighing more than 400 kilograms, not because of his superb driving skills, but because the body's transformation into a dead soldier caused by the Honkai energy also brought him a leap in physical fitness.

The hands holding the handlebars began to tremble slightly. Although they did not appear to be bigger from the outside, Li Shubai inexplicably felt as if his arms were swelling up like balloons.

This is the so-called Honkai energy, an excess of muscle enhancer and also a life-threatening toxin.

While taking away humans' normal thinking consciousness, it also allows humans to exert powers beyond common sense.

The dead man I met when I walked out of the room had bones that couldn't be cut even with a knife. This was the result of being injected with Honkai energy.

My body feels so light, lighter than ever before. The distance that was once difficult to cross seems to be within reach. My brain is clear and my thinking speed is faster than ever before, as if the passage of time nearby has slowed down.

The blood vessels under his skin glowed an ominous red, and Li Shubai tried desperately to pretend that he hadn't seen it all. He pursed his lips, gripped the handlebars tightly, and lay on top of the speeding motorcycle like a trainer taming a wild beast. Although he hadn't gotten used to the full performance of this steel beast, after a few minutes of driving, he had basically understood how to ride at high speeds in the best way.

He raised his head, braving the strong wind that could easily make a person unable to open his eyes, and glanced at the increasingly heavy sky. The sky was filled with dark clouds and flashes of thunder, which made him realize that the situation was becoming increasingly serious.

They were not far from Senyu Academy. The current speed of over a hundred yards would have been very fast under normal circumstances, but... it was still not enough.

As to why Li Shubai made such a judgment, more and more assassins were attracted by the low roar of the engine.

Those assassins who were rushing over here one after another were like a tide of beasts.

Although the death soldiers could not possibly keep up with the speed of the motorcycle, in this Changkong City, the relationship between the death soldiers and him was not one of chasing and being chased, but rather... surrounding and being surrounded.

Are we almost reaching the area with the most concentrated Honkai energy? Not only behind us and to the left and right, but also in front of us, we can see the dead soldiers gathering.

If there was anyone who could overlook the streets of Changkong City from above, they would be able to discover the movement tracks of all the dead men within a one-kilometer radius around Li Shubai. They were like mosquitoes that had smelled blood, and they gradually swarmed towards him one after another.

Not to mention being stopped directly, at this speed, even a simple grazing would be fatal to Li Shubai. He focused on the assassins who kept rushing towards him, exerted force on the handlebars, and controlled the motorcycle to dodge and avoid them again and again with incredible flexibility through the narrowing gap.

Finally, when the assassins in front of him had formed a human wall and there was no escape, Li Shubai's eyes flashed with ruthlessness and he pulled the throttle.

The excess torque poured towards the rear wheel of the motorcycle like crazy, and the front wheel floated slightly because it could not keep up with the sudden and extremely manic acceleration of the rear wheel. Li Shubai held the handle of the front of the motorcycle tightly, exerted force on his arms, and while ensuring that the motorcycle would not flip over directly, he aimed at the car that was parked vertically in the middle of the road and rushed up with the front of the motorcycle facing his car without hesitation.

Of course, the windshield of an ordinary car cannot withstand such violent and sudden pressure. The moment the front wheel of a motorcycle touches it, it can't bear the weight and turns into flying pieces. However, just a mere moment is enough to make the speeding motorcycle fly into the air.

For Li Shubai, whose goal was to overcome obstacles, that was enough.

The needle of the speedometer has exceeded 200 kilometers per hour, and the exhaust pipe makes a roar like a wild beast.

The motorcycle flying in the air has not yet landed, and the assassins on the ground are about to be crossed because they cannot keep up with the speed of the motorcycle. The posture of the motorcycle landing is also perfect.

Sudden.

It really happened in the blink of an eye.

Just when Li Shubai was about to fly over the group of death warriors, there was a whoosh - clang sound!

Without any warning, the motorcycle suddenly lost its balance and began to vibrate wildly, accompanied by a sound of something breaking through air and hitting the back seat.

This sudden change almost made Li Shubai lose his soul.

What the hell! What kind of monster is this!

Is it a dead soldier? Or a Honkai beast?

Want to turn back?

In a gap of less than 0.1 second, just before Li Shubai made up his mind, even if it meant being smashed into a pile of pulp, he would fight desperately with the thing behind him that scared him terribly, not sure whether it was a Honkai beast or a dead man.

"Captain! I finally found you!"

So close, that clear and pleasant voice.

She put her arms around his waist and held him up without any hesitation.

This moment.

When I turned my eyes slightly back in surprise at the unusual noise, I saw a beautiful and lovely smiling face full of sunshine.

Thinking back on it, perhaps this girl really did have some magical power.

Just showing that innocent smile, people around you will feel warm from the bottom of their hearts.

Chapter 5: At the gate of Qianyu College, he made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Under the dark, heavy clouds.

I don’t know how long I can live, so I hope to follow my heart and make one last effort before I die. I am running fast in the city that has turned into ruins.

I met a girl who fell from the sky with a beautiful smile.

Looking at her smiling face, my heart, which had already fallen into death when I traveled through time, began to beat involuntarily.

The throbbing from the heart is probably——

——The little hope that was reawakened by that pure, dazzling smile."

It was a wonderful holiday for Himeko Murata.

In this cold winter that has not yet left, she lives in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Island Shangri-La Hotel, Hong Kong, enjoying the highest treatment of this five-star hotel.

This building is the tallest hotel in Hong Kong, and is home to many wealthy people and politicians. They can overlook the bustling city of Hong Kong from the top floor of the hotel, and enjoy the pleasure of pointing fingers and making speeches. They can also enter the steam room at any time when they feel cold, and enjoy a sauna that makes both the soul and body feel comfortable. At any time, the waiter will bring you a bottle of Lafite of considerable age, and at night, they can wear formal attire and attend a classical and elegant social dance with young and promising handsome men and beautiful women in the magnificent ballroom downstairs.

Everything would be perfect if it weren't for the adjutant who suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Didn't I tell Theresa not to disturb my vacation?" In her own suite, Ji Zi glared at her adjutant who broke into the room to express her dissatisfaction. At the same time, she waved her hand and dismissed the security guards and waiters who came after hearing the news. "There is nothing for you to do here. Go down."

The woman with glasses and a serious face showed her military ID. She was the direct subordinate of Wuliangta Jizi, the distinguished customer who temporarily booked the presidential suite. But at the same time, the distinguished guest had already told her that she didn't want anyone to disturb her wonderful vacation.

The waiters and security guards, who were already sweating profusely because they were caught between the two men, felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They bowed and apologized before leaving in a swarm. The serious-looking woman closed the door and adjusted her glasses with her fingers: "The vacation is over, Major Himeko. Commander Theresa ordered me to come and recall you and leave for the new mission location immediately."

"Tsk!" Ji Zi sneered at the serious words of her adjutant. She thought to herself, what mission could be so important? Could it be that the Herrscher has arrived?
