I'm not Yingjie

"Bam—"

The fists wearing armor hit the howling civilian hard in the face. Everyone present saw that the civilian was beaten away like a rag doll in front of the team leader, and then fell to the ground and fainted.

"Catch him." The team leader ordered coldly.

"We can't let these ruthless guys do whatever they want! We also want to survive! But they only let the so-called elites live and don't care about our lives at all..."

"Bang bang bang!"

The squad leader fired three shots in succession at the sky with his rifle, instantly silencing everyone present.

He glanced coldly at these guys' faces, which were distorted and ugly. He didn't even know whether he should consider them as compatriots.

After the silence, he used his injured throat to speak in a crushed voice: "I know... you have many complaints. Just like that guy said, human beings should enjoy equal rights. Death is equal, and so is life."

"But from what I've observed, there's something very interesting about human beings. When they understand this sentence, most people simply ignore the responsibilities behind power."

"If there are people among you who are willing to join the army and fight the Houkai creatures head-on, then you can also get more resources, provided that... you are really willing to fight to protect humanity."

"And if you have a way to keep humanity going and make a greater contribution than Dr. Lin, then you can stay in the safest place. We will do everything we can to keep you alive."

"Yes, we are indeed keeping the elites alive, because they are indeed trying to keep you alive, instead of just standing there doing nothing and waiting for others to give you charity all day long!"

The captain's anger burst out from his eyes, and after giving a final glare to the group of frightened people, he snorted through his nostrils.

"Selfish and greedy, the people in that 'safest' place were pushed there by our own selfishness and greed."

"I don't expect you to understand, so this is what I want to tell you in the end."

"Oh!"

He fired the gun in his hand again, this time, he aimed at the crowd, and under his precise control, he didn't hit anyone, but made some people experience what it meant to narrowly escape death.

"Don't cause any more trouble for the Doctor."

The team leader said this and left with the cult members and the unconscious civilian.

Along the way, his team members were looking at each other with strangeness in their eyes, and it was impossible for the team leader not to have seen it, but he just pretended not to see it. After returning to the garrison area, he called his adjutant.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

"..."

He saw the adjutant's horrified expression and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There are only two of us here."

The adjutant was silent for a moment, and after a long struggle in his mind, he dared to speak: "Captain..."

"Alas... You've been with me for so long, but you're still the same as when I first joined. As soon as you open your mouth, I know what you're going to say next." The team leader covered his forehead helplessly, "If those civilians are dispensable compared to Dr. Lin, then are we the same?"

The captain was absolutely right, and an even more horrified expression appeared on the adjutant's face.

"Perhaps I should say something that can comfort people, but lies are just lies after all. I can only tell you... yes, the value of the remaining humans combined is probably not as much as Dr. Lin alone."

"But who can be blamed for this... Humans are trying to find a way to keep one person alive, and that person is trying to find a way to keep others alive. This kind of conflict will only end when both sides are completely destroyed."

And what can we decide...

Chapter 71: The Man of Miracles Part 10

"Doctor, all the data has been stored. What instructions do you need to follow next?"

"…Just stay asleep. After the next civilization is born, spread the information."

The man waited for the screen to go out. He leaned back in his chair and let the endless darkness envelop him.

Humanity only has one base left, which is the headquarters of Meteor's Passing, where he is currently located.

The current average Honkai energy reaction rate of the entire earth is 300HW, which means that at least one emperor-level Honkai beast is born every minute in the world, and Honkai creatures are calculated at a speed of about one thousand per minute.

Rather than saying that mankind has reached the brink of extinction, it is better to say that it has completely fallen into the abyss.

In this way, the man's mission has come to an end.

"The twelfth Herrscher will arrive in three days... They really won't give us any time to breathe, are they planning to deliver a fatal blow?" The man chuckled, "But with the current concentration of Honkai energy, three days is already a long interval, right?"

Before that, he still has a lot to do.

For example, he retained the DNA of his original body, and he once planned to use his own DNA and the girl's DNA to create their offspring and transfer the task of continuing human civilization to him.

But in the end he gave up the idea.

The man didn't want her child to embark on a path that would carry the shackles of salvation.

That's it.

However, the man still preserved his DNA. If a civilization that is born in the future has the opportunity to find it, it may be able to use the information in his DNA and the transformation technology that was specially left behind to create an individual similar to a clone.

Another example...

"Record separately. This recording will be destroyed after viewing...if there is a chance to see it."

"The Herrscher is a leader at the top of the Honkai creatures born during the Honkai. He has the ability to command other Honkai creatures, cause large-scale Honkai, and use special powers. Compared to other Honkai creatures, his biggest feature is... that he maintains a human appearance."

"Compared to the Honkai beasts and the Death Warriors, whose bodies are partially or completely deformed, the Herrschers only have a Herrscher core inside their bodies. They are both the Honkai creatures that are the least human-like and the Honkai creatures that are the most human-like..."

"They also possess a considerable degree of intelligence, which is positively correlated with the level of human knowledge they possessed during their lifetime. There have been some Herrschers whose intelligence and degree of anthropomorphism far surpassed those of their peers, such as the Seventh Herrscher..."

"And Herrscher will only be born from humans, as if... it is to fix the law of the Herrscher's 'appearance'."

"So, by coincidence and logic, all of this happened on my spur of the moment... or maybe it was something I had planned long ago."

"From the time I came into contact with the core of the Tenth Herrscher until now, my conjecture has become more complete, but a conjecture is always a conjecture. To achieve my goal, what I need is not time, nor examples, but..."

"Miracle."

After a pause, the man thought about what to say next, and then he revealed his plan in full.

"Next, I will use the core of the Tenth Herrscher to reconstruct my consciousness. Thanks to my body not being an ordinary human body, I can change the form of my consciousness to a certain extent. I plan to transform my consciousness into a form similar to that of the Tenth Herrscher so that I can invade the consciousness of other creatures."

"Then, after the arrival of the last Herrscher, the 'End', mankind will be completely extinct, and I will use my consciousness to invade the existence called 'End'."

"I don't intend to invade the End or become the End."

The man was silent and lonely in front of the camera.

"I just want to use my tiny existence to try to bring about a miracle."

……

The girl stopped in front of the door, behind which was the room where the star was.

After she "analyzed" the star that had invaded the database, she discovered something.

The body structure of these stars is not metal-like life forms composed entirely of technology as they claim.

And this is the fundamental reason why she plans to find this so-called "dove" star.

After all, many of the intelligence provided by Xingcai came from themselves, and there were contradictions in many of them, but humans had no way to verify them, and her methods were a little special.

After arriving at this place, the girl began to "communicate" with Xingcai.

To be precise, it simulates some special frequencies.

Then, she waited quietly...

……

If people were asked to choose a creature that they think is the most deformed, many people would probably give different answers.

If the people of Fire Moth were allowed to choose, it would be nothing more than various kinds of Honkai beasts, but most of the Honkai beasts can only be considered hideous and terrifying, not to the point of being deformed. There are even Honkai beasts with concrete appearances such as dragons, wild boars, and snakes.

But at this moment, Lin could not equate the strange "thing" in front of him with the specifically describable Honkai beast.

After it devoured the corpses of two Honkai beasts, a giant arm grew on its back, and on the giant arm there were countless small arms like human arms. At first glance, they were so densely packed that it seemed as if countless people were struggling inside the monster's body.

Apart from that, Lin couldn't even find the words to describe this emperor-level Honkai beast. It was like something that shouldn't exist in this world, and not even a single biological feature could be seen.

"Sakura...report the situation."

Sakura's position at the moment was not good. After getting down from the corpse of the Honkai Beast, this new emperor-level Honkai Beast broke out of the ground and devoured the corpse of the other Honkai Beast, mutating into its current appearance. Sakura was separated from it by its huge liquid-like body.

"...The core location of the Honkai beast has not been found here. Do we need to retreat?" Sakura reported calmly.

Retreat is also an option. For this kind of Honkai beast that cannot be explained by common sense, the most important part they lack is the information about it. It is extremely dangerous to launch a rash attack.

Retreat and call for more reinforcements...

Just when Lin decided to retreat, the Honkai beast let out a strange howl that seemed to be able to penetrate the mind.

"Woo——————"

A glacier instantly spread from under its feet to the soles of Sakura's feet!

"This is……"

When Sakura was confused, she dodged immediately. After avoiding the glaciers that tried to freeze her, she prepared to bypass the Honkai beast and meet up with Lin.

However, in their shocked gazes, the next second, this twisted thing that blocked out the sky and the sun...

Disappeared.

Chapter 72: The Man of Miracles

“The first time I saw the word human was in a book.”

"That day, I quietly entered my father's study. Maybe I just wanted to find a place to play. After all, I had walked around the whole house, but I had never been to my father's study."

"My father told me that what was there would be mine when I grew up, and he didn't want to force it on me before then."

"And I, driven by curiosity, found a book on my father's desk. The first line of the book was 'Human Virtues'."

“Then, on that day, my parents died in a car accident.”

"Later, I always felt that the word 'human' was too vast and too distant. It encompassed a race and also encompassed their commonalities."

"But when I really started to come into contact with real humans, I realized that what my father said was absolutely correct."

"Humanity is not so far away, nor is it so huge..."

After the man finished recording the last record, he sat quietly in the empty tower, gazing at the wreckage in the distance.

The world of silence, the world of death, the real world...

If there was an artist here, perhaps he would have painted the current world vividly, but he is not, so he just feels the residual echoes of this world where there are no living humans except him.

The last warrior fought until the last moment, and they still believed in the man until their death.

They had no choice, but they still died proudly as human beings.

Now, he is the only one left.

What the man thought of at this moment was his high school days, when he was lying on the lawn by the river, thinking of nothing, letting the wind blow him.

There is no one else, just like now.

But, when did it change?

Yes, it started from that time when I met her.

Now that I think about it, maybe she was just a trigger. Because of her, the man came into contact with more people, and saw the many sides of human beings from an unprecedented perspective. In the end, the emotions that were condensed were materialized into feelings and relationship with her.

At every turning point of choice, he gave up himself and chose more people.

But the result was that he was the only one left.

As early as when the girl was critically ill, the man already knew that humanity could not defeat the Honkai. At that time, perhaps he should have stayed there and waited for the destruction of humanity with the girl. But now, humanity has only delayed for a few more years, and in the end, it is "not unexpected."

So... has anything changed?

The man thought, there should be some.

As a person grows up, he does not become colder but gentler.

He grew up, and humanity grew up too.

This may be enough.

……

"Not dead yet... It seems that there is no way to wait until the end."

The man looked at the slowly approaching destroyed figure on the screen. The Herrscher's appearance was still so deceptive, so similar to humans, yet so different.
