Collapse, I save everything alone

Otherwise, she would end up surviving alone... This was really hard for her to accept.

At this moment, the depressed girl heard a certain sound.

That was the sound of something falling from the sky—

She looked up and saw someone falling from the sky.

“…Huh?!”

While exclaiming, Anna instinctively opened her arms to welcome the other party.

There was a loud "bang" and the girl fell to the ground.

"Cough...cough..."

After the smoke caused by the fall dissipated, Anna could see clearly that the person who fell from the sky was Mingyu, whom she was looking for.

"Ming, Mingyu?"

The girl said in surprise.

"Uh... yeah, it's me."

Mingyu raised his head with difficulty and said.

Perhaps because it was his first time operating the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle and he was not proficient enough, there was a slight deviation in his coordinates after being teleported. He ran to a relatively high place and was forced to free fall.

Although in fact, with his current physical condition, there would be no problem even if he fell directly to the ground...but when he fell just now, he found that he seemed to have bumped into other people.

Only then did he notice that he had knocked Anna to the ground.

This posture, all in all, is a little bit bad.

"Uh, sorry."

Mingyu supported himself on the ground on both sides of the girl and tried to sit up.

Anna suddenly reached out her hand, hugged him, and said in a very happy tone:

"Great, you're still alive!"

The girl hugged Mingyu tightly, fearing that he would disappear in the next second.

"I'm really worried about you. If something really happens to you..."

"Isn't this okay?"

Mingyu smiled and comforted.

"Uh-huh."

The girl nodded slightly and felt completely relieved.

Her pair of pink-purple eyes were so close that they could even hear each other's breathing clearly.

At this moment, Anna seemed to have just realized what she had just done. Her cheeks flushed slightly and she whispered:

"Yes, sorry, I was a little too excited just now..."

She became a little at a loss and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Should I push him away at this time? No, that's not right, I was the one who carried him up...

"No, it's nothing..."

Mingyu smiled and shook his head.

Well, he didn’t suffer any loss.

Then he tried to stand up from the ground, but suddenly he felt weak and a feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart.

——From the moment the disaster broke out, he frequently used time travel to save people, and led a group of Honkai beasts on a long journey, while also frequently operating complex projection magic.

The mental damage was quite severe, and the physical strength had basically been completely drained by the continuous torture.

And after meeting Anna again, he relaxed a little, so the fatigue surged up like a tide.

Next, you need to take a good rest.

Anna noticed that something was wrong with him, so she quickly stood up and supported him.

All in all, next, we should take him back to the camp in the rear to rest.

The chestnut-haired girl supported the boy beside her and walked slowly in the quiet night.

Chapter 66 Agreement

The next day, when Mingyu woke up, he was lying on a comfortable bed.

"Hmm... this should be the dormitory inside the airport..."

He looked at the surrounding environment and roughly determined where he was.

This is a double room with two beds. In addition to the one he is lying on, there is another bed. The cabinet beside the bed is cluttered with some sundries belonging to the girl.

"..."

Last night, when he was walking back with Anna's support, he almost fell into a coma, so he had no memory of where he ended up.

Now it seems that Tianming's reinforcements also happened to choose this airport as their base.

Sitting up from the bed, he stretched and prepared to go out.

He probably only slept for one night, and the search and rescue operation is still going on in this city.

Now that we have had a good rest, let's continue to devote ourselves to the subsequent search and rescue work.

——Rescue work for the Honkai disaster is just like any other natural disaster. What matters is timeliness, which is the so-called “golden 72 hours”.

The vast majority of survivors can only hold out so long on their own without food or water.

If we add in the threat of Honkai beasts roaming around the city, this time will be further shortened. Generally speaking, for disasters caused by Honkai, the best rescue time can be regarded as the golden 24 hours.

So, for the city of Manila, the initial survivor rescue phase is largely over.

The next step is to clear out the Honkai beasts and assassins in the city.

This step will be accomplished by the coordinated operations of the Destiny's mechas and the Valkyrie troops.

The last time Hyperion arrived in Changkong City, he stayed there for about three days, with Theresa and the others taking the lead in clearing out all the Honkai beasts in the city.

Of course, in theory there should be a post-disaster reconstruction phase, but just like the current situation in Changkong City, with Tianming's current technology, there is no way to clear the overflowing Honkai energy in the city, and we can only wait for it to slowly dissipate as time goes by.

Only when the concentration of Honkai energy drops to a level suitable for ordinary people to live in can reconstruction be carried out slowly.

Berlin, the city where the First Herrscher was born, has now been rebuilt.

Before that, the only option was to relocate people affected by the disaster to other cities.

Thinking this, he came to the door.

Just as I was about to open the door and go out to find out the current situation, the door was opened from the outside.

Then, a chestnut-haired girl walked in.

"…Anna?"

As expected, the person who came was the girl from yesterday.

"Hey, Mingyu, you're awake."

Anna said with some surprise.

The girl was holding some bread in her hand, which was obviously brought to him.

"Eat something quickly. I'll get it from logistics."

Mingyu took the food and asked curiously:

"Anna, don't you have to go out on a mission?"

"Well... since we participated in the search and rescue of survivors yesterday, this morning is a break."

Anna explained.

Although the Valkyrie has an extraordinary physique, she also needs rest.

It is normal to rotate out to perform post-disaster tasks.

The girl then added:

"This also applies to you, so you should rest here in the morning."

"So that's what it is..."

Mingyu nodded and simply went back to sit down beside the bed.

However, he soon felt something was wrong.

He looked at the sundries on the other bed next to him, then looked at the girl in front of him, and said with some doubt:

"Could it be..."

"Well, since we are the last to return to the camp, this is the only room left for us."

Anna blushed and explained in a low voice.

Because they were wandering outside looking for Mingyu, they were the last to return to the camp.

Tianming temporarily requisitioned the staff dormitory in the airport as a temporary residence for the Valkyries, but due to the invasion of Honkai beasts, many areas had been damaged, so there were not many rooms available for living.

When she brought Mingyu back, only this last room was left.

Originally, it was very common for the Valkyries to live under the same roof while on missions outside. However, after many years, a male Destiny Knight named Mingyu appeared, and the situation became a little different.

A man and a woman alone, in a room together——

Anyway, he was a little hungry after a long sleep, so he picked up a piece of bread and started to eat.

The chestnut-haired girl just stood there quietly watching him eat his breakfast - or maybe lunch as well - without saying a word.

"Anna, you look like you're worried about something."

Mingyu said in a low voice.

"……Um."

Anna nodded gently and said:

"...After yesterday's incident, I realized that the life of a Valkyrie that I longed for was not as wonderful as I imagined."

The companion who was laughing and playing with you yesterday may be gone the next day. Facing death and pain may be the norm in this identity.

"Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it, but..."

She has no regrets about being able to become a Valkyrie, fight for the people, and protect something.

The girl asked anxiously:

"At that time, I almost ran away... If I really ran away, would you blame me?"

She still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and found it hard to accept her own cowardice.

In her opinion, Mingyu, who took the initiative to lead away the tide of Honkai beasts, was very brave, so at this moment she wanted to seek answers from him.

"That's certainly wrong."

Mingyu answered simply.

"As expected..."

The girl dropped her eyelids.

She was indeed not as strong as she thought.

"But not everyone can always make the right choice, and it is normal to often go the wrong way."

"But what if the wrong choice puts many people in danger?"

She was still a little confused.

If she had not turned back to the ruins, she would have missed the opportunity to save the survivors and indirectly killed them.
