The general direction is to recruit Hua into the fifth team. As for whether he will become a soldier, logistics, or be kicked out of the team, that will all be decided later.

As long as you are alive, there are endless possibilities. When you die, there is really nothing.

No one can come back from the dead, at least not humans.

Himiko thought for a moment, then walked up to Hua and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, wear your anti-Houkai erosion armor, and give me an extra one."

"team leader?"

"Captain, you don't want to..."

Soon, a complete set of anti-Houkai erosion armor was handed to Himiko, although this armor could not withstand too much Houkai energy.

However, more than ten days have passed since the third Honkai outbreak. No matter how high the concentration of Honkai energy is, its effective value has dropped sharply to one twentieth or one thirty-third of the peak value or even lower.

Even without wearing armor, people with excellent Honkai resistance can come and go freely. It is better to have armor, after all, Himiko himself wants to fight for a few more years.

"May I have your name."

Hua slowly raised her head and saw a head of fiery red hair, as dazzling as a phoenix rising from the flames.

"My name is Hua."

After getting Hua's name, Himiko threw the armor in front of her and said generously: "Put this on and come in with us to find someone."

"I once had a teammate like you, also from Shenzhou. After I rescued him, he ran like a madman into the ruins where the concentration of Honkai energy had not decreased, screaming that he wanted to see me alive or dead. He died within two days of the Honkai erosion."

"You are a native of Shenzhou. I respect your customs and traditions. I also understand that you are eager to save people, but you are hiding here because of your weakness."

"There's someone very important to you in Canghai City, right? Someone you'd risk your life for, regardless of everything."

"I can take you to her now."

"But I'll warn you in advance."

"After more than ten days, she might be a dead soldier or a pile of rotten flesh and bones, but she definitely won't be alive."

"Even so, do you still want to go in and find her?"

Himiko asks soul-searching questions.

The problem is no longer confined to the superficial content, but it clearly indicates that you actually already knew that an important person had died, but you were too cowardly to walk out of the shadow.

It is meaningless to try to remedy the situation after someone dies, and it is not the same as mending the fence after the horse has bolted.

It’s too late. Even if you start to remedy the situation now, you can’t restore any of the good things. Instead, you will be trapped in prison and defeated by the painful facts.

In the end, not only could the dead not be saved, but even the living were covered with a grave in their hearts.

After waiting for a long time, Hua did not give a reply. She seemed not to understand the meaning of Himiko's words.

Himiko remembered something and thought of Hua's autistic behavior at the beginning, and added: "Don't worry about whether I will be implicated by you. All members of our team don't believe in something as illusory as fate. If it really exists, as long as it can bleed, fate will still kill you and show you."

"We are very strong, so there is no need to worry about it affecting us."

"The Knight Honkai Beast you fear is nothing more than an insignificant stepping stone to us. It won't even be used as a topic of conversation."

"I don't have that much time and patience. Go or not? The answer is, I'll take you in to find someone right now."

Himiko stretched out his hand towards Hua, waiting for Hua's response.

Hua hesitated for a few seconds, then picked up the anti-collapse erosion armor on the ground, with a firm light flashing in his eyes, and held Himiko's hand.

"I'm going." Hua said firmly.

In this way, the fifth team of the Fire Moths walked towards the center of Canghai City, and everyone was wearing armor that could resist the collapse and erosion.

Although the concentration of Honkai energy has been reduced a lot, we cannot be complacent and assume that all Honkai beasts and dead soldiers have disappeared.

The crisis is likely to be lurking in the invisible darkness.

"Hey, where are you going, Himiko? The research lab materials and survivors near Canghai City have all been taken away. Why are you still staying here?"

On the way, the captains of other teams came forward to greet Hemiko.

"Find someone."

Himiko answered calmly, which aroused the other party's curiosity. After all, the follow-up processing work has been almost done. The famous Himiko, the combat genius known as the Honkai Beast Meat Grinder, must be looking for an extraordinary person.

"Huh? Looking for someone, who is it?"

"I don't know, but he's in the center of Canghai City."

Hearing Himiko's answer, the captains of the other teams looked stunned and shocked.

"Pfft! Are you kidding me? No one has ever entered the center of Canghai City. Even if you want to go in, you have to wait at least a month until the collapse energy is almost reduced."

"Don't tell me you're going to go in and look for survivors right now. Don't be ridiculous. In the high concentration of Honkai energy at the beginning of the Honkai outbreak, even if you and I stayed in there for three days, we wouldn't be able to withstand the erosion, let alone ordinary people."

"You're trying to fulfill a wish for a new member, right? The child next to you looks unfamiliar. Is she a survivor of the Third Honkai Impact? Do you want to help her find her family, friends, classmates, teachers, or even a lover?"

"Take my advice, it's not necessary. Although my words may sound harsh, it's not worth taking risks for a weathered corpse, Himiko."

Hearing these words, Hua said nothing and clenched his hands.

She couldn't refute it, and she couldn't refute it.

Hua knew this was selfish and self-serving, but what if? What if Dad and Mo were still alive? Hiding in the cellar, frantically searching for food, or lying in a dilapidated ruin, dying and waiting for rescue?

If my family members who had a chance of being saved died because of my compromise and giving up...

She couldn't accept such an ending.

Hua couldn't convince himself to give up, but this time, Hua didn't want to listen to other people's opinions.

So it doesn’t matter even if Himiko listened to the other captains, she will enter Canghai City even if she is alone.

Noticing that Hua beside him was trembling slightly, Himiko walked past the captain and said a few words unrelated to the matter before leaving to express his attitude.

"People like us will all die sooner or later. Someone has to take risks and make mistakes. Even if I die, I can still bring more intelligence that humanity lacks. Perhaps some scientist will use it in the future and make it a milestone in humanity's fight against the Honkai."

"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be standing here. The reason I'm standing here now is because I'm already on the road to death. Why should I be afraid of death?"

The captain was stunned and asked, "But your death might be meaningless, don't you think so? At least your death should be meaningful."

Himiko: "No, you are wrong. We cannot decide the meaning of our own death. We have to let them give the meaning of death."

Himiko rubbed Hua's little head and looked at Hua lovingly, his smile was like a brilliant world. Himiko, who had long since put life and death aside, already had a clear understanding of his own life.

As a branch leader who can barely be considered a high-level human, Himiko knows a lot of things that the captain does not know.

Himiko knew very well that she would not be able to see humanity defeat the Honkai in her lifetime, so she kept moving forward before her death, and she continued to move forward after her death, but the form had changed and it became a spirit and a heritage.

Later generations stand on the shoulders of their predecessors, climb higher peaks, and see the scenery that these dying people will never be able to see in their lifetime.

Perhaps it is still a purgatory on earth, but there is also a ray of hope, telling everyone that it is a peaceful and prosperous world.

Even if there is little hope, there will always be people who will continue to try.

That scenery that is destined to never be seen is the meaning of Himiko and many more people's death.

Hua couldn't help but look up and met Himiko's fiery red eyes, bright and brilliant.

Apart from Mo's pink eyes, this was the first time Hua had seen someone with such beautiful eyes.

But after watching for a while, Himiko rubbed Hua's head back as if petting a cat.

Himiko: "You still have a long way to go. Sometimes don't worry too much about the current difficulties. You will go a long way. So raise your head confidently now. Your future has just begun."

Hua: "...You held my head down."

Himiko: "Ha...haha, sorry, sorry, it feels so good. Let's go, the entrance to Canghai City is just ahead, cheer up. By the way, do you have any photos?"

Hua: “Yes.”

Hua opened his phone and clicked on the photo album. Most of the photos at the top were of his father and Li Mo competing in martial arts. Further down, there were photos of Li Mo's sleeping face.

"Let me see." Himiko snatched Hua's phone, frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at Hua beside him thoughtfully, then turned back to look at the photos in the phone.

"Captain, please show us too. Otherwise, how are we going to find someone?"

The team members surrounded Himiko, and one by one they leaned over to carefully look at the two people in the photo.

"Such a beautiful person... Is it a girl? No, it seems to be a boy... Such beautiful eyes, I feel like I am a little..."

"Hua, the middle-aged man in the photo should be your father, right? He has gray hair and blue eyes, and his features are exactly the same. Then who is this person with pink eyes? He doesn't look like you at all, so he can't be your brother or your younger brother. Could he be your adopted husband?"

Hua: “It’s my family.”

Hua didn't say more about Mo, which made everyone more curious.

On the way forward, Hua also recounted Li Mo's story, explaining everything from his outstanding talents to his popularity since childhood.

If they had not seen the photo, the members of the fifth team would never have believed that there was such a perfect person. After seeing the photo, everything Hua said seemed to make sense.

While chatting, Himiko suddenly stopped.

"Captain, why did you stop?"

Hua seemed to realize something and looked at Himiko with an uneasy look.

Himiko sighed deeply, raised his hand to signal everyone to make way for Hua, and said to Hua: "Hua, come to the front."

Nothing more was said, perhaps because the scene before him was difficult for Hua to accept in words.

Hua's heart beat faster and he walked to the front nervously.

When he saw the severed hand on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrank into awns and his body softened.

A severed hand couldn't explain anything, but on it was the same clothing style that Hua had personally chosen for Li Mo, exactly the same as the most recent photo taken on the phone.

"street……"

Hua Wei trembled and raised his head stiffly. Behind the severed hand were more flesh, organs, and a set of shredded fragments.

Chapter 39: The fate of Hua changed

"team leader……"

"Don't go over there. This is her own business. Our intervention will only make it more difficult for her to accept the reality."

Hemiko stopped the team members and did not let others interfere with Hua's will.

In fact, this is Hua's own family affair and should not be interfered with by outsiders like them.

Under the natural disaster called collapse, death and sacrifice are very common, without exception.

The most terrifying thing about Collapse isn't its ability to erode everything, nor the devastating natural disasters it precipitates. It's that it makes death seem so insignificant, so insignificant that a single sentence can sweep over a life, whether peaceful or turbulent. It's so insignificant that people become numb to death, and indifferent to the preciousness of life.

Therefore, it is particularly important to acknowledge one's own death. Even a child who cannot accept the death of a loved one will eventually grow up.

Afterwards, one's heart may become numb and indifferent to the sight of sacrifice.

Only after experiencing both situations and finding the balance can she understand what she is fighting for and what she is living for.

Looking around, Himiko's red eyes reflected the bloody ground with countless broken arms and limbs. Most of the limbs were badly mutilated, and the blurred flesh and blood were crushed into dust.

Some of the limbs were covered with clothes, right in front of Hua.

Left hand, right hand, shoulders, legs...

Are there any clothed limbs that are not duplicated?

Himiko noticed this, but didn't take it to heart, instead focusing his attention on the quiet Hua.

Hua stood there, motionless, like a scarecrow in a rice field, swaying in the breeze.

His lonely eyes and ashen face showed that the dam of his inner faith had burst. She would never see the boy again who would secretly prepare birthday gifts for her and whose mischievousness affected her mood.

That day, I opened the box and let Mo out, and finally

"..."

Hua walked forward, picked up the broken limbs on the ground and held them against his chest. The limbs were cold, without a trace of warmth remaining.

Hua said nothing, and walked forward step by step in a daze, picking up every piece of limbs on the ground that had Li Mo's clothes on them.

Soon, her arms were filled with a pile of tattered organs and broken limbs.

This scene made the members of the fifth team turn their heads involuntarily. The scene was too weird and difficult to accept.

Even if a loved one dies, you won’t hold him in your arms like you would a lover.

Of course, no one said it out loud. They just thought that Hua was in a bad mental state and couldn't accept the fact that his relatives had died. Or, maybe, as long as Hua hugged these broken arms and legs, he could feel that the other person was still by his side.

Hua raised his head, his emerald eyes dimmed completely, and he walked towards the deeper part of the martial arts hall with stiff steps, like a clockwork doll.
