Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"Give her a pocket." Himiko said.

After all, Hua couldn't keep holding the pile of mutilated corpses in his arms. Now only the members of the fifth team were left. Once they went outside and were seen by someone with ulterior motives, there would probably be more trouble and trouble.

It is not good for the child's future growth.

Hua looked at the mutilated corpse in his arms, then raised his head and cast his gaze towards the distant martial arts hall, where he could see a vague outline.

Most of the martial arts hall had been cut down, and the towering buildings around it had collapsed one after another. There was also a tall building that collapsed right on top of the martial arts hall, splitting it in two.

There was also a raging fire that spread from a chemical plant not far away to the martial arts hall, almost burning it to ashes.

You don’t even need to think about what the ending of everyone in it will be.

Only a fool can deceive himself at this time.

Hua agreed and asked for two pockets.

A box containing Li Mo's broken organs and mutilated limbs.

The other one will hold my father's ashes.

"..."

Hua didn't say another word as they walked along. She walked in front with her hands limp and relaxed.

Himiko and the other team members also understood each other tacitly and didn't say anything more.

They knew very well that the child would need some time to digest and accept this tragedy.

Hua didn't speak until everyone arrived at the martial arts hall.

"I can go in alone..."

The members of the fifth team stepped out and advised, "It's better to let two people accompany you. If there is any danger, they can respond in time to avoid any accidents."

Hua turned around, and the people behind her saw that her pupils were vaguely out of focus and there were no highlights.

"No, thanks."

After saying this, Hua entered the smoke-filled martial arts hall alone.

"Captain, should we follow quietly?"

"No need."

Himiko took a quick look around and found that there were a large number of Honkai beasts and dead soldiers gathered near the martial arts gym. Their deaths were extremely tragic, as if they were cut into pieces by some sharp weapons.

Did the Fire Moth send other people to rescue?

No, it's impossible.

Fire Moth is not a non-profit organization. Its founding philosophy is to maintain the rule of the United Nations and minimize the damage caused by Honkai to various countries.

As an organization dedicated to fighting against the collapse, it would never spend a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources to rescue a few insignificant survivors.

What's more, the danger level is not low. Breaking into Canghai City alone is no different from committing suicide. Humans have their limits. No matter how powerful a person is, there will be a time when his physical strength is exhausted and his combat power drops rapidly and he is killed.

Unless they are fully armed like the Fifth Team, the armor and weapons they wear are all cutting-edge technological products, and every member is a well-trained soldier.

Only in this case can we go in and rescue people half a month after the collapse, when the damage has been reduced to a certain extent.

I didn't hold out much hope of saving even one person, and was more focused on collecting supplies and some important unknown information related to the Honkai.

"In addition to the obvious cut marks, there are also marks left by fists. Is that unknown creature a human or a monster?"

Himiko walked up to a Temple-level Honkai Beast. Temple-level Honkai Beasts were already considered higher-level Honkai Beasts and were very difficult to deal with.

Without a captain leading the way, ordinary soldiers can only pray that the other side doesn't discover them.

Himiko could defeat the enemy on her own, but she definitely couldn't kill him with just one punch.

And this dead temple-level Honkai beast had only one fatal wound on its body.

There was a hole in the chest, a fist-shaped hole.

It was killed by a punch through the body.

In addition, Himiko also discovered a place that could testify to that guy's fighting style.

There are obvious scratches on the head of the Temple-level Honkai Beast, and it seems that the head was grabbed.

But... who fights Honkai Beast using the same street-thug fighting style?

Do we have to grab the head of the Honkai Beast and dig the ground?

Himiko was even more curious about the man's identity. He slaughtered Honkai beasts and dead soldiers. Even if he was not a human, he could be a friend of the Fire Moth.

Although the internal and upper-level leaders of the Fire Moth were very repulsive and contemptuous of this alien, for a captain like her who was in charge of a certain area and dealt with all kinds of sudden destructive incidents, that unknown guy was a rare talent.

Identity, race, and personality don’t matter. As long as you can be useful, you are a friend.

"Captain, she's out."

"Ah."

Amidst the billowing smoke, Hua covered his nose in a panic and walked out with difficulty, stepping over the flames under his feet.

The bag in his hand was empty, with nothing in it.

Himiko: "It seems that you didn't find it."

magnificent:"……"

Himiko: "So what are you going to do next? Continue looking in this city?"

Hua: "If I do that, what will be the consequences?"

Himiko: "You will die. You might get beheaded by a double-bladed assassin who suddenly appears from a corner, or you might be found by a Honkai beast that hasn't left yet and crushed into a pulp. There are many, many possibilities."

"Of course, if you're lucky, you can avoid all the events I mentioned above, but there's one thing you can't escape, and that's the Honkai erosion."

"Even though it's been half a month since the Honkai outbreak in Canghai City, it doesn't mean that this is a place where living people can be active. The surface of the earth and the entire city are filled with Honkai energy. Every breath of air you breathe here, every inch of unprotected skin will be corroded by Honkai energy."

"The armor on my body only reduces the amount of Houkai energy that enters my body, it can't completely block it out. Even with current scientific standards, it's not possible to completely block it out."

"A normal person wouldn't last more than half a day in this harsh environment before being eroded by the Honkai and reduced to a mortal or even dead. Based on the average Honkai resistance of the survivors, and this Honkai-resistant armor, you can only last three days at most."

"It's not that you'll be safe if you leave within three days. After three days, you'll be instantly killed. Even if you leave midway, the Honkai energy won't dissipate. Instead, it will continue to parasitize you, devouring every drop of your blood, every single cell. The pain is like pouring lemonade on your dental nerves, so excruciating you can't hold any position for more than five seconds, and sleep is a luxury."

magnificent:"……"

Himiko: "You understand, don't you? There's no point in dragging it out any longer. The corpse in your bag will accumulate a lot of Houkai energy. If you take it back, it might be completely necrotic and turned into a pile of bloody mud. Even so, do you still want to continue searching?"

Hua: "Thank you for being with me, let's go..."

Although his father's body was not found, at least Mo's body was found, even though it was incomplete.

Himiko: "Pack up the team and prepare to leave."

Himiko was commanding the team. They had only been in Canghai City for a few hours. The armor's power was turned to the maximum, and the damage done by the collapse to their bodies was minimal.

Before leaving, Hua couldn't help but look back. The once prosperous martial arts school was still vivid in his mind, but now it had become a ruin and no longer prosperous as before.

Many people she knew were buried in it, along with her past.

After leaving Canghai City, Hua stared at the bag intently, and the other bag was empty.

"Where are you going next?"

Himiko turned around and looked at Hua with a sharp gaze, who had a gloomy face.

Himiko knew very well that Hua needed the thought of living. When all relatives died, homes were destroyed, and there was no spiritual sustenance, people were like a fragile piece of white paper, and any insignificant wind and rain could easily tear it into pieces.

Hua shook his head: "I don't know."

Himiko: "The team members behind me gave the same answer as you did. So, why don't you try to join our Fire Moth Anti-Houkai Combat Team 5? We are in charge of the Houkai incidents in the entire Australia."

Hua: "I'll join."

Himiko: "Don't be so hasty to answer. You may not yet understand what it means to be a warrior and what you need to take on."

"I'll give you three days to think about it. No more time, because Honkai won't give you time to think about it. Just like the Honkai outbreak in Canghai City, it never asked whether humanity was ready to face this nightmare... I've gone off topic. I'll take you back to the territory under my jurisdiction and let you see with your own eyes what the Fire Moth warriors need to do."

"If you want to leave at any time during these three days, you can come directly to me and I will grant it."

"But if you change your mind after three days, I won't make an exception for you, understand?"

Himiko wasn't sure if Hua understood, but Hua had become lifeless ever since he saw the severed arms and legs in the bag, as if carrying a mountain of negative energy.

Maybe she really understood, or maybe she just lost her mind and followed what she said without any opinion.

That's why Himiko gave Hua three days to think it over.

For some choices, once a decision is made, there is no room for regret.

No matter which choice you make, the final outcome is unpredictable. The future is always changing, and at the moment we can only make choices that leave as few regrets as possible.

After that, it's time to pay the price for your choices, whether you can afford it or not.

Hua followed Himiko back to the Australian branch and was one of the few survivors of the third collapse in Canghai City.

Within three days, Himiko let Hua become a temporary warrior to experience life. At the same time, he also had to go to the survivor base for a full physical examination, including a test of Honkai resistance.

During these three days, Hua experienced a lot, more than what he experienced in the dark years before Mo entered his life when he was a child.

Here are people's praises for her -

"Have you heard? There's a very powerful guy among the survivors who single-handedly killed a group of assassins."

"Really? But without weapons and equipment, humans are no match for those monsters. I heard that if the assassins don't hit the fatal wounds, no matter how many bullets they fire, it will be useless."

"Captain Himiko said this herself when she was drunk. How could it be false? There's a girl among us..."

Hua was not satisfied.

She knew that this was just an excuse for the survivors to escape from the shadow of "collapse" as a consolation.

Here is the envy of her—

"How come she stayed in Canghai City for so long without dying? And I was eroded by the collapse after only half an hour in the outskirts of the city. No, don't chase me away. I don't want to die!"

"Just accept your fate. You and I are just ordinary people. Just look at Captain Himiko's attitude towards us."

"She went into Canghai City to look for someone for a completely unrelated girl. We begged her for a long time but she ignored us. Why? Just because that girl is talented? Her family's lives are lives, but ours aren't lives?"

"S-level Honkai resistance, hehe..."

Hua Wei didn't feel sad.

She knew that this was just a cowardly way of covering up one's own powerlessness and escape, and blaming all one's mistakes on fate.

She knew that she was just as cowardly as they were, blaming all her mistakes and misfortunes on the unfairness and absurdity of fate.

She is as despicable as these people. She is just one of the selfish, humble, yet greedy and insignificant human beings who want more.

Here are people's expectations of her -

"You have a very good foundation. I've looked through your information. You've trained in martial arts for over a decade, and your physical fitness is exceptional. Without any Honkai energy amplification, weapons, or armor, relying solely on your own strength, you killed a Dual Blade Assassin. Your evaluation ranks you twelfth among all the survivors in the past few years."

"Oh, by the way, the second person, like you, was a victim of the third Houkai outbreak. His name is Kevin Kaslana. His achievement was to kill a young Tank-class Houkai beast with a sturdy baseball bat, and then escape from Changkong City with his girlfriend."

"That's right, the young tank-class Honkai beast, the one you didn't have the courage to face back then."

"But there's no need to belittle yourself. You just don't have anyone you want to protect behind you, and if he doesn't fight, he'll just have to watch his girlfriend die."

"So I think that if one day you find the meaning of fighting, you won't necessarily lose to him."

"Hua, Captain Himiko is right. We didn't even dare to face an ordinary death warrior. You are much stronger than us."

"Given time, you will surely go further than us and save those we cannot save."

"Of course, we won't force you to become a warrior. But if you really choose to take this path, we will do our best to help you, because then, we will be companions, right?"

"Yes, as for what you meant by getting close to you bringing misfortune, I didn't feel that. From the moment I entered Canghai City to the moment I left, didn't anything happen?"

Hua felt inferior and guilty.

She knew that even if she fought with all her might until she was exhausted, she would not be able to kill the Honkai beast. Her warrior instinct and every cell in her body told her that she would surely die if she fought it.

The ancient martial arts that he had practiced for more than ten years became a complete joke at that moment.

Instead of bringing her closer to her family, it made her flee in a desperate situation.

As for companions...is she still qualified to have companions?

I will bring misfortune and bad luck to everyone who gets close to her. If I become their companion, become Captain Himiko's companion... will they end up like their father and Mo?

Zeng Mo also said this to her. He didn't believe that he would be implicated in her misfortune.
