Soon, Alicia got to the point: "Mei, didn't you say you couldn't remember what the first assassin you eliminated looked like?"

She smiled.

"But Lin remembers."

"..."

"Whether he was a death warrior or a law enforcer, Lin remembered every life he had killed that had ever lived in this world."

Alicia said this in a very carefree manner, and then stepped back to the side of the door. She did not make the playful "please" gesture as usual. This time, she stood solemnly and dignifiedly beside the door, as if...

Master of ceremonies at a grand funeral.

Mei stared at her, took a deep breath and threw herself into the door.

"Tick."

After passing through the door, a drop of rain fell on her cheek.

“It always rains here.”

"Here are buried his comrades, his enemies, and everything he owned."

“This is where his heart is.”

desolate.

Mei looked as far as she could and all she could see was a cemetery that was so densely packed that it stretched to the horizon without ever ending.

It was filled with tombstones of various sizes, each of which was engraved with a name or a photo. Just as Alicia said, there were some human tombstones and some dead tombstones.

There is only one exception.

While Mei was shocked by this world made up of tombstones, Alicia stopped in front of an inconspicuous little tombstone in the corner, her eyes full of sadness.

When Mei saw the tombstone, she looked confused: "What is that tombstone..."

At first glance, the tombstone looked no different from other tombstones. It was even the smallest and most shabby one Mei had ever seen. If you didn't look carefully, you might overlook it. But when Mei saw the place with a name engraved on it, she was stunned.

There was no name or photo on it.

After feeling sad, Alicia looked at the tombstone again, remembered something, and smiled peacefully.

“This is Lin’s tombstone.”

So she said.

……

The shaking of the ground was mixed with terrifying roars. A hill was chasing an ant. Every time the deformed arms attacked, a building would collapse, and bricks, tiles and dust would fly everywhere. However, the ant was able to avoid those fatal attacks every time, dodging flexibly while looking for angles to counterattack.

The tank-class Honkai beast leaped high, and its single scarlet eye replaced the bright moon and turned into a bloody blood moon. Lin stepped on the wall, pushed off the wall, and made a small turn in the opposite direction to avoid the impact that was no less than a meteorite, and was blown away by the airflow.

Lin rolled on the ground for several weeks before he stopped. His sunglasses and mask were gone, and the scratches on his face were bleeding blindingly red. His emotionless black eyes stared at the Honkai beast that had stood up again, and his legs and feet felt a little numb.

The words sound good, but it is an indisputable fact that Lin is in poor condition. The sequelae of leg replacement are still hindering his movements, and the injured head affects his thinking reaction. The dagger cannot pierce the shell of this Honkai beast, so it can only lure it in the opposite direction away from Hun Hehua.

And the worst thing is that Lin doesn't know how long he can last in this concentration of Honkai energy.

The equipment he usually wears is not only to improve his combat capability, but also has the function of preventing and slowing down the erosion of Honkai energy. Otherwise, according to Lin's ridiculously low Honkai energy, he would have become a "cyber psychopath" who has to prepare dozens of injections of inhibitors on his shoulders every day.

This time Lin did not wear any protective gear. If he stayed in this environment for too long, he would soon be eroded by the Honkai energy, so he could not delay.

It can be said that this is an example of a situation where the equipment, time, and physical condition are all poor, and heaven, earth, and people are all out of harmony.

Any chance of winning?

Lin kept examining the gap between the two sides, the giant beast and humans, how can humans win?

To kill a Honkai beast, one must destroy the Honkai energy core inside its body that is similar to the heart. He knew where the core of a tank-class Honkai beast was located, but with the weapon in his hand, he could not reach it at all.

While he was thinking, the Tank-class Honkai Beast swung its right arm again, and Lin simply dodged it by turning sideways. He took the opportunity to hold the dagger tightly in both hands and stabbed it hard into the part of the Honkai Beast's skin that was not covered by the shell.

Pale pink blood splattered everywhere, but the Honkai Beast seemed to feel no pain and raised its arm again, smashing towards him.

"Oh!"

Just as Lin was about to dodge, the "disharmony" of his body came over him, causing his movements to slow down for a moment.

It was this short delay of less than half a second that almost cost him his life.

There was a crisp sound of bones breaking, and Lin's left shoulder was scratched by the Honkai Beast. He was spun out, and his entire left shoulder was deformed into a strange shape.

He just stopped after hitting the wall, and Lin collapsed against the wall, blood oozing from his mouth and nose.

He glanced coldly at his paralyzed left hand, struggled to stand up, and stared at the tank-class Honkai beast that hit its target and roared strangely.

Don't give up thinking. Humans can defeat animals that are stronger than themselves because they can think.

Once we give up thinking, humanity will die.

The smell of gasoline penetrated my nostrils along with the smell of blood that I was used to.

Lin turned his head suddenly and saw a gas station not far away. The smell of gasoline was coming from the uncovered gas tank of the car.

He glanced at the Honkai beast and ran towards the gas station.

Dangerous, but worth a try.

Chapter 2: Humanity's tragic victory

Lin jumped high into the air, propped up the roof of the car with his right hand, turned in the air like a stuntman, pulled out a dagger, and beheaded the assassin who was lingering near the car with one blow.

The man and his head fell to the ground at the same time.

Lin quickly opened the car door and got in, inserted the knife directly into the passenger seat, then pressed the engine start button, shifted gears with one hand and operated the steering wheel. The whole car rushed out like an arrow after a short start with the roar of the engine.

The chariot-class Honkai beast, which discovered its prey's intention to escape, angrily slammed the ground. The vibration like a small earthquake at close range was transmitted to Lin's hands through the ground. Its body arched like a fully drawn longbow, which was a sign that it was about to launch an attack.

Many people have misunderstandings about the speed of Honkai beasts, believing that their huge bodies, heavy shells, and deformed structures are not enough to support their fast movement. But in fact, except for some Honkai beasts that are specialized in a certain point, most Honkai beasts have a speed of 60 to 100 kilometers per hour. Even knight-level Honkai beasts can reach a terrifying speed of nearly 300 kilometers per hour when attacking.

The most misunderstood ones are the Temple-class Honkai Beast and the Chariot-class Honkai Beast. Of these two types of Honkai Beast, the Temple-class moves by suspension, and its heavy armor does not slow down its speed at all, while the Chariot-class can use its power to achieve explosive leaps and advances, and with the inertia brought by its weight, it rushes forward recklessly, and it is basically impossible to escape if it is entangled on flat ground.

The tank-class Honkai beast transformed its Honkai beast and muscle power into thrust. Its heavy body, as heavy as a mountain, pressed deep grooves into the ground. It then took off into the air and pounced towards the vehicle driven by Lin.

Just before the muscular crushing hammer was about to crush the car into a discus, Lin increased his speed again and used a fake move to make the attack miss.

The wind pressure caused the front wheels of the car to drift and even float in the air for a short while, but Lin was driving the car steadily and it didn't affect him at all.

Even the Titan has been driven, let alone just a small car!

Lin watched through the rearview mirror as the tank-class Honkai beast once again made the movement that symbolized crushing. He calmly looked at the bulge in the road ahead and stepped hard on the accelerator!

"Stab!"

The friction between the wheels and the asphalt road ignited the stench, but Lin, whose sense of smell had been numb, just stared at the front with full concentration, making the whole car "fly" up. At a height that was the same as the height of the Honkai Impact 3rd, the internal structure of the car made a creaking sound and was about to reach its limit.

"howl--"

The Honkai Beast attacked again with wind pressure. It targeted the car that had no way to escape in the air. The moment its front wheels took off, it pounced on it impatiently, vowing to crush it into pieces.

"Oh!"

"Squeak-"

He clapped his arms hard, turning the driver's seat and the front passenger seat of the car into a discus, and the exploding liquid splashed out.

"howl--"

It cheered in mid-air, cheering for killing yet another human.

But it didn't see that there was no human "blood" in the splashing liquid.

Nor did it see that there was a gas station in front of where it landed.

Lin, who was also in mid-air, felt that time had almost stopped.

He escaped at the last moment before the attack, and this experience of brushing shoulders with death made his thinking speed exceed the limit.

After the impact, his five senses temporarily failed. All he could see was pitch black. He couldn't hear, smell, or touch anything. It was like he was in a dead silent space, just like...

Same thing as the time we used the phase shifter.

Even the feeling of pain has become a luxury.

He closed his eyes.

"..."

Is this the limit of human beings? Without the help of external objects, even if they are hit too hard, their senses will be disturbed.

"------"

wrong!

"Click."

Lin, who was in mid-air with a blank look in his eyes, instantly pulled out his loaded gun.

He couldn't see, hear, or feel anything, but at this moment he only relied on his memory and calculations to carry out the planned actions.

Without aiming, but without any hesitation, he aimed at the remaining half of the car in the Honkai Beast's hand and pulled the trigger.

It hit the fuel tank in one go.

"Boom——"

The exploding fireworks devoured the Honkai beast, and then caused a series of explosions at the gas station. The towering flames lit up the night sky, the glass of the houses shattered, and the horrific noise startled the entire city.

Including the soul that was pulling Hua upwards in the building, they were also shaken by the shocking explosion.

"That explosion was..." The distraught Hua was obviously thinking of Lin, and she looked out the window worriedly.

"..." Hun gritted his teeth, looked at the dead soldiers who were attracted by the sound of the explosion and became agitated, crouched down and shouted, "Hide well, don't worry about those things for now."

Hua looked at those hideous zombies and said hesitantly: "I'll help you..."

"no!"

Hua is a civilian, and Hun must protect her. Hua now looks like she has difficulty even standing. If something happens, how will she explain to Lin?

That's right, Lin will be fine. He was the one who defeated the Emperor-level Honkai Beast in the first battle of the second Honkai Beast. It's just an evolved Tank-level Honkai Beast. Lin can definitely deal with it even without equipment.

She tried to convince herself, but she couldn't stop thinking about Lin's uncoordinated body and the head injury he suffered while trying to protect himself, and about the mother and son, and the dagger trembled.

Scared.

I don’t know whether he was afraid that Lin would never come back, or he was afraid of the increasing number of assassins.

but--

Soul's other hand squeezed the trembling arm.

Lina's voice, which was always calm, reached her ears.

"We carry their lives on our shoulders..."

At this point, her eyes became aggressive and her body stopped shaking.

Because of fear, so... fight.

She blocked Hua behind her, holding a gun in her right hand and a knife in her left hand, staring calmly at each of the assassins.

Kill them.

Save them.

Her heart said so.

……

Lin was knocked against the second-floor wall of a building by the shock wave, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"vomit--"

The five senses are restored.

Lin immediately vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs, and spat it onto the ground, staining the ground red.

He collapsed weakly on the ground, and saw out of the corner of his eye that there was a piece of iron piercing his thigh, caused by the impact of the explosion. Blood flowed out of his body like water.

After a quick look at the injuries, Lin turned his attention to the raging fire.

Won?

No, from experience...
