Collapse, I save everything alone

Obviously, compared to Bronya, who is lightly dressed and looks like a girl next door, Raven looks more like a warrior.

Even Xiaokong could tell this, and Raven seemed to still have some traces of battle from having just dealt with a Honkai beast, making her temperament seem a little intimidating.

For a little child, this kind of smell was a little scary.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Noticing Xiaokong's fear, Raven spoke to her with a gentle smile.

After a pause, she continued:

"You are lucky to have met me. Come, I will take you to a truly safe place."

……

A moment later, in a high-rise building in Dongcheng District.

This is the place that ravens call the "Nest".

Because Raven used the World Serpent's black technology to drive away most of the nearby Honkai beasts and demarcated a safe zone, it was generally very safe and quiet here, without the restlessness and roars of monsters. It was like a paradise, completely different from other chaotic areas in Changkong City.

After Mingyu and Xiaokong arrived here, they saw many children who were about the same age as Xiaokong.

Most of them were resting in the room due to exhaustion. Only a white-haired boy was standing guard at the door, seemingly waiting for Raven to return.

He looked no more than six or seven years old. When he saw the raven return, he immediately ran forward happily:

"Teacher, you are back."

"Yeah, Lyle."

Raven smiled and patted his head, then pointed at Mingyu and Xiaokong behind him:

"I met some new survivors in the city, so I brought them back with me."

Lyle...

Well, isn't this the sniper against the second team of Honkai in the post-Honkai books?

Mingyu thought about it while looking at the young man carefully.

Well, although he was still a small guy physically, he did look pretty much the same as he remembered.

——He was also one of the children picked up by Raven in Changkong City.

After Raven did some basic physical examinations on Xiaokong, he asked her to stay in the room and rest with the other children, and then came outside.

Mingyu was standing on the edge of the platform, looking towards Qianyu Academy, thinking about something.

"Thank you, Miss Raven."

Mingyu thanked him politely again.

"It's just a small favor... You look like you have something else to say to me."

The gray-haired woman waved her hand casually.

"Well, what I want to say is..."

Mingyu pondered for a moment and told Raven about Xiaokong's affairs.

"You want to keep that child here?"

The gray-haired woman heard Ming Yu's request, looked back at the room, nodded and said:

"Of course, this area is very safe. If you need to, you can stay here and hide until the collapse is over. And..."

After a pause, Raven continued:

"That child can only stay here now. He can't go anywhere else."

Because of the disaster of Honkai, the stigma was forced to awaken, but it was not fully awakened. It only gave these children the ability to survive in an environment filled with Honkai energy.

Conversely, they have also become dependent on Honkai energy, and once they leave an environment like Changkong City, they will become unable to survive.

The only way to save them is to take medicine to slowly promote the complete awakening of the stigmata - in this regard, the guy called "Jackal" does have some means.

"Besides her, what about you? What are your plans?"

"I have to go back to the other side of Changkong City. I have a friend there."

Mingyu responded with the same rhetoric he had used to deal with Bronya before.

"There are few living people in Changkong City now. Your friend is..."

Raven had a sharp mind and quickly came up with something.

However, she did not continue.

——Because it has nothing to do with her.

The mission assigned to her by the World Snake in Changkong City has been completed. She doesn't care about the rest. Instead of getting involved in things that have nothing to do with her, she is more focused on continuing to search and rescue children in distress in the city.

It’s better not to pry into other people’s secrets. As a mercenary, the less you know, the better.

Raven said:

"You are very courageous. Normal people would not think of returning to the scene of such a doomsday disaster. They would just run away."

Even within the World Serpent, it is not an easy task to make the new recruits who have just joined the organization familiar with the atmosphere of fighting on the battlefield and facing danger.

She looked at Mingyu carefully for a while, and suddenly said:

"You seem quite talented. If you are interested, I have a good place to recommend you."

Is she trying to pull herself into the World Snake?

Mingyu thought about it and answered:

"What is the [Talent] you are talking about...?"

"Most people are terrified when facing a disaster. Even if they can still move, they can't think calmly and find a precise way to escape from the Honkai beast. This means that you already have enough psychological qualities to face danger. Well, I'm talking about the talent to become a [Warrior]."

Raven said with a smile.

Although he looks like an ordinary, powerless person now, with such talent, his future growth will surely be quite rapid.

Actually, I just got used to it because I experienced it so many times...

Mingyu responded silently in his heart.

After the first few deaths, he still felt uncomfortable all over and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but now that his death record has been in double digits, he has indeed become accustomed to it.

Or rather, numbness.

He thought for a moment, and instead of rejecting the olive branch offered by Raven, he replied:

"...After I find my friend, if I am still alive, I will consider this matter."

Although Raven has extended an olive branch, the World Serpent organization is indeed not on his priority list at the moment.

After all, before Kevin was salvaged from the sea, the World Serpent was basically in a dormant state, doing basically nothing except infiltrating Destiny and Reversing Entropy.

After Kevin's comeback, the main work of the entire organization was to prepare for the [Stigmata Project]. In the original timeline, excluding the Herrscher of Corrosion who was brought into the [Paradise of the Past] by Mei, they only sent cadres to deal with the incidents of the Herrscher of Stars and the Herrscher of Ice.

It can be said that before the final [Stigmata Plan] was launched, the World Serpent was mostly free from crisis - perhaps, in the eyes of the World Serpent, only the crisis of the Herrscher of the End could be regarded as the only disaster.

Among the three organizations, Destiny, Anti-Entropy and World Serpent, the one he currently wants to enter is Destiny's St. Freya Academy.

On the one hand, it is because of the existence of the Big Three, and on the other hand, as the protagonists, they are exposed to the most crises.

As for anti-entropy...it is indeed not a good choice at this moment when the leader Lao Yang is personally undercover in St. Freya Academy and the executive officer Cocolia is taking the opportunity to usurp power.

"Then I wish you can come back alive. If you have such plans, you can come back here and leave me your contact information. Although I won't stay here all the time to take care of these children...but I will come back every once in a while."

Raven said with a low laugh.

She really wanted to pull Mingyu into the World Snake.

There are not many people with excellent Honkai resistance, and men are even rarer. Moreover, most of them have been intercepted by the Destiny Organization or the Anti-Entropy Organization.

The World Snake, which has been hiding underground, has a natural disadvantage in attracting talent. The number of cadres is pitifully small, and it can only recruit talent through this method of picking up leaks.

If he could join the World Snake and become a cadre, he would also receive a generous bonus.

Well, for Raven, the latter is actually the point.

——Since the past, she has been accumulating wealth, planning to retire one day in the future and start a new life.

More than ten years have passed since she was picked up and trained by Gray Snake. She has basically saved up enough money. Well, she has set her eyes on a small island near the Mediterranean and plans to build an island villa there.

That location was carefully selected by her, near the floating island headquarters of Tianming - Raven believed that the area near the headquarters of Tianming must be the safest place in the world and the place farthest from collapse.

As long as she lived nearby, the Valkyries at the Savior Headquarters would be equivalent to her bodyguards for her retirement life.

She can stay away from the collapse, away from all the troubles of the world, and enjoy a new and free life.

Originally, I just wanted to live there alone, but now I have saved so many children here... After their illnesses are cured, I will let them move over there to live together.

"Since you are going back to Changkong City...would you like me to give you a ride?"

Raven suggested.

She would not stay in the [Nest] forever, but would have to go back to the disaster site in Changkong City to search for other surviving children.

It would be convenient to take Mingyu along.

"Well, thank you for your help then."

Of course he wanted it more than anything. After all, with his current physical strength as an ordinary person, it would take him a long time just to get to Qianyu Academy.

"Then now... Hey, that child seems to have something to say to you."

Raven was about to get up and take action, but he saw Xiaokong gently push open the door behind him and stick his little head out to look over here.

"I'll go prepare the equipment first, and we'll set off in five minutes."

Raven waved to Mingyu as he walked towards another house at the edge.

"Xiaokong, what's wrong?"

Mingyu looked at the purple-haired girl who came to his side.

She folded her hands in front of her chest and asked timidly:

"Brother Mingyu...are you going to leave here?"

"Well, I still have some things to take care of. You can live here with the other children."

He leaned over and touched Xiaokong's head.

"Then, can I...see you again in the future?"

The girl asked timidly.

"Of course."

For a long time, the girl had to live in Changkong City.

If he managed to sneak into St. Freya's Academy, it wouldn't be difficult for him to return here.

Xiaokong lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head again, plucked up the courage to come forward and gave Mingyu a hug.

"Thank you……"

If Mingyu hadn't rescued her in the collapsed house, she might have been devoured by those horrible monsters.

At the same time, Mingyu felt as if a warm current was flowing into his body.

He clearly felt that his resistance to Honkai energy had improved.

Is this what is called "feedback"? From Xiaokong?

Reincarnation and salvation... and getting rewarded for it?

Mingyu thought thoughtfully.

Perhaps, this is what is called "good people will be rewarded."

..............................

Near Chiba Academy.

Mingyu came here again.

Thanks to Raven, it took less than twenty minutes to get here from Dongcheng District.
