Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

At the edge of the town, the dilapidated house was slightly renovated and turned into a sheltered guard post. The previous beast tide lasted for a long time, and now the wind finally stopped. Most of the people who didn't get to rest all evacuated. Fu Hua and Bronya stood guard, taking turns.

On a two-story building that looked like it was cut in half, two girls stood quietly, the breeze blowing their large gray windbreakers. Behind them, a mecha with a smirk on its face stood alert at all times.

Bronya hooked the hair that was sticking to her cheek, lowered her eyes and looked at the few candies left in her palm. She asked, "Squad Leader, do you really not need to eat? This can make us more energetic."

The corners of her eyes were dark, and although she had no expression on her face, her face was much paler than usual. The reason why the girl had the energy to stand guard here was because she ate these cool mint candies to support herself.

"No, thank you." Fu Hua said calmly. She looked at the red sun between the clouds and mist and stopped Bronya from eating candy. "It's time to change shifts. If you eat now, you won't be able to sleep."

Bronya was a little confused. She also looked towards the sun but didn't know what time it was. "How did the monitor know?"

Fu Hua did not answer the question. She turned back to look at the road. The shadow was getting closer and closer. She said, "Someone is coming."

The first one to jump onto the second floor was Shen Yunie, followed by two girls with different badges on their chests. On his way here, he met two people who came to take over the shift. It seemed that because of a fierce battle, the two girls accompanying him were silent, and they still looked tired after resting.

When she saw the male knight, she showed a brief expression of surprise, then yawned and walked on.

They motioned to Fu Hua and Bronya to go to their guard positions.

"Let's go." Fu Hua said calmly, "Bronya, you can go back and rest."

Bronya opened her cherry-like mouth slightly and inhaled, "Okay, squad leader, aren't you going back to rest?"

"I'm still energetic. Let's go check on Wendy with Yunie." Fu Hua shook her head. She had just arrived here yesterday, so naturally she was in better spirits than those who had been fighting for a long time.

……

On the way to the hospital from the small town, the two did not talk. Fu Hua was not surprised by Shen Yunie's arrival. He could do everything he promised without exception. After waking up from a two-month sleep, the girl was still taciturn. She would not speak unless she had a question in her mind.

Shen Yunie spoke first, "Senior, are the Honkai energy fluctuations here caused by that girl named Wendy?"

"Some are, some aren't, but now all the blame has been put on her." Fu Hua looked back at Shen Yunie, her tone puzzled, "Didn't the dean tell you the general situation when you came here?"

"It was late at night when I came. The dean probably forgot about it, and I didn't ask." Shen Yunie shook his head. He knew very little information, which he learned from the conversation.

"The Gem of Desire is the most unstable of the Herrscher's cores that Destiny possesses. Even if it is removed from the Herrscher's body, it can still create fluid and Houkai energy fluctuations. Destiny originally sealed it on an uninhabited island, but the fluctuations caused by the Gem of Desire caused the island to sink into the sea.

Destiny could only look for a body that could calm it down, and Wendy was the one with the highest adaptability. After the transplant, the Desire Gem did calm down, but it continued to destroy Wendy's body, her legs were disabled, and her Honkai Energy level could never be promoted to S-level.

After being tortured by this pain for several years, her emotions became unstable and extreme, and eventually she would occasionally cause Honkai energy fluctuations. Many people felt that her mission had come to an end, and if she continued to tolerate it, she would become a Herrscher. Some people did not want her to die, including the head of the Oceania branch, Bishop Otto, and Principal Theresa. "

Wendy is not dead. The turmoil she caused needs to be resolved by someone, which has led to the current situation.

Shen Yunie knew very little about the girl, so he said calmly, "I think she is quite innocent."

"Well, if the crime is too serious, even the most innocent person will eventually become guilty. Wendy needs to control her emotions. Right now, the situation regarding her life or death is one-sided." No emotion could be heard in Fu Hua's words. After she finished speaking, the two of them had already walked to the front of the town's hospital.

Wendy was seriously injured, but she is out of danger thanks to the Valkyrie, but Shen Ning is not so lucky. She has no stigmata at all, and not only is she seriously injured, but she is also infected with the Honkai virus. The virus spreads very slowly, and she will die in agony, and there is no cure.

"Wendy? She's there." The logistics staff in a white coat pointed to one of the wards. She was one of the people he hated, and a look of disgust flashed across his face as he turned and left.

The ward at the end of the corridor had large areas of paint peeling off the door, and there was dust and cobwebs in the corners. Sunlight shone in from the window, and dust was clearly visible where the golden glow was flashing. This was not a real hospital but a temporary one established after the town was chosen as a base. The house looked very old, and the rest of the wards were better than it.

No one is going to kill Wendy, but people are already starting to treat her unfairly because of the dislike they feel for her.

Shen Yunie turned her head and saw that the ward opposite the old room was perfectly renovated. There was no dust or cobwebs, and the strong smell of disinfectant was suppressed by air freshener. That was what a ward should look like. However, it was an intensive care unit, and the nameplate read two words: Shen Ning.

Fu Hua stretched out her hand and prepared to push open the door of the old ward, while Shen Yunie walked straight to the intensive care unit. "It's someone I know. I'll come over in a while."

The door opened at the same time, and the two of them gently closed it again.

The lighting in the ward was very good, and the air freshener was running continuously so that there was basically no smell of disinfectant here. The sunlight shone through the window onto the girl in the bed, making her face look even paler, and the blood vessels hidden under the skin appeared lavender and flashed from time to time.

The monitor showed that her heartbeat had become extremely slow, and there was a high possibility that Shen Ning would not survive this illness.

As an old friend, Shen Yunie cut his finger and dripped blood on the girl's bloodless lips. He felt that Shen Ning still had things to do, or should not die here.

The dripping blood was absorbed in the blink of an eye, making her lips red and the lines no longer flickering. The heartbeat on the monitor became much faster, and Shen Ning's frown gradually relaxed, but the girl had not yet opened her eyes.

This is all Shen Yunie can do. If Wendy doesn't die, Shen Ning can't recover. Occasionally giving blood can slow down the speed of the virus, but the pain still exists, just like Tachibana Hinata did before.

This ward was very quiet, but the other one was completely different.

In the old ward filled with disinfectant, the dusty floor had turned light grey. There was no sunlight from the back, only a faint light. The girl on the bed had woken up. She removed the bloody bandage that was casually wrapped around her forehead and rewrapped it herself.

There were no monitoring devices in the room. The iron bed only had a thin mattress and wet blankets. The dark green area seemed to be moldy. It could be covered on the body, but it would definitely cause great damage to the skin of an adolescent girl.

Despite suffering so many injustices, Wendy showed no emotion on her face as she carefully wrapped bandages around herself until Fu Hua walked in. She was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly sneering.

"Have I seen you, Senior Tianming? Have you come to visit me specially?" The girl was wrapping the bandages on herself, her tone full of coldness and sarcasm.

Fu Hua ignored the taunting. She took out a few bottles of energy drinks and new bandages from her windbreaker and said, "My identity is not that of a person now. I just came to confirm your condition. I think you can survive and whether this choice is correct.

I will ask the logistics staff to move you out of here. They don't know that the more they treat you like this, the more uncontrollable your emotions will become."

Wendy stared at the drink and the bandages, and stopped wrapping them around each other. She suddenly tore her bandages apart with all her strength, and threw everything on the table away. The glass bottle fell to the ground and broke, and all the liquid flowed onto the floor, soaking the bandages.

Her eyes became cold and fierce, "You want me to live? You want me to continue suffering? I have been tortured by this Herrscher core for several years! Sometimes I even want to dig it out of my chest. If it weren't for my strong healing ability, I would have committed suicide long ago.

I am alive now because of other people's expectations of me, but they definitely don't include you, the culprits who caused me pain! Destiny wants to create controllable Herrschers to fight against Houkai, and we are the test subjects. No matter how painful it is, we are good test subjects, so we can't die.

You think the same, right? I am a good test subject, and there is no replacement for me yet, so I have to stay alive and continue to suffer the pain you inflict on me! "

Her life had long been ruined by fate. She was the most likely candidate to become an S-rank Valkyrie seed member in the Oceania branch. She had healthy limbs and a good spirit, but all of these were destroyed because of that core.

The smell of disinfectant was blown away by the sudden strong wind. Under Wendy's fierce expression, her eyes glowed green. The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She bent down, picked up half of the broken glass bottle, and threw it at Fu Hua, "Go to hell!"

44. You let a married man do this?

The Herrscher's core, which had just been silent, began to riot, excitedly absorbing these extreme emotions, thereby transmitting its energy outward. This was exactly what it needed, whether it was greed, lust, jealousy, gluttony, or other crazy and extreme emotions, they were the best food to drive itself.

When the chosen person's emotions are strong enough, he or she will be able to face their gods directly and finally obtain the status of God's Apostle.

Fu Hua stirred up Wendy's hatred. The wind blew the girl's hair away. Facing the hateful attack, she raised her hand expressionlessly, "You need to calm down. If you cause any more disturbances, you will be executed soon."

The gray hair was stained with a hint of red from the ends, and the front part faded to silver. Wendy's green eyes looked directly into the red eyes, and the sudden chill made her shiver subconsciously.

The glass bottle stopped in front of Fu Hua's eyes and slowly fell. At the same time, the wind in the room stopped. Wendy could clearly feel that the moment they looked at each other, all her emotions were forcibly suppressed. She couldn't even hate or be angry.

The room was silent. The energy drink flowed over the blood-stained bandages, and the colors on the floor became dirty and chaotic. After a long time, Wendy suddenly laughed and murmured absentmindedly, "So that's how it is. You were sent to suppress me so that I can't suffer and cause collapse. Being forced to live, haha..."

"I'm not." Fu Hua frowned. Facing the girl's pain, she found it difficult to give a convincing explanation. "On behalf of Saint Freya, I believe you can stabilize your core and survive. If you can't control your emotions, destiny will soon issue an order to kill you."

What Destiny wants to create is a Valkyrie that can stabilize the core and has the same power as a Herrscher. If it deviates from the expectations, it must be eliminated, otherwise they will just be raising a Herrscher.

"It's better to die than to live a destroyed life... I can no longer bear the expectations of those who gave me hope." Wendy murmured, tears sliding down her eyes and dripping onto the quilt. After crying silently for a long time, the girl suddenly smiled foolishly. She looked at Fu Hua, and the madness in her eyes rose again, "As for you, no matter who you are, as long as you are destined to give me pain, then you can also taste my pain.

You said you represent Saint Freya? Saint Freya will return to destiny, which is probably what you expected, but if I let them betray, will you be in pain? "

"You can't do it." Fu Hua said indifferently.

Her performance made Wendy gnashed her teeth in hatred, and her smile became even crazier. "I can do it. What can you do to me? Kill me now? Or watch me make the people of Saint Freya gradually betray the Destiny. The Destiny is a sinful place! I am doing this for their own good. Do you want to bet?"

Fu Hua had nothing to say. She was definitely not here on behalf of destiny. The energy drinks and bandages she sent were not enough to prove it. The gem absorbed Wendy's extreme emotions to create chaos. It was also influencing Wendy to go crazy. If this continued, she would become a Herrscher sooner or later.

To this day, Destiny has not issued any orders to Fu Hua regarding Wendy, so the girl prefers to do the same as Saint Freya. To keep Wendy's emotions under control, she needs to find someone who can give her hope.

The corners of Wendy's mouth twitched, revealing an ugly smile. "Death is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing is that your life and future are out of your control, and no matter how hard you try, you can't change it. You should experience this heart-wrenching torture."

In her eyes, it doesn't matter whether the other party is an innocent person of destiny or not. She wants to take revenge on destiny, starting with the people involved.

Both sides fell into silence again until there was a sound of the door handle. Wendy's crazy emotions all dissipated. She glanced at Fu Hua coldly, then lowered her eyes and removed the rest of the bandages. The expression on her face became pitiful for a moment.

The door of the ward was pushed open, and Shen Yunie walked in. As soon as he came in, he could see the bad environment here, and frowned. He always felt that the people of the Oceania branch shouldn't treat her like this.

He saw the broken bottles and bandages on the dirty ground and whispered to Fu Hua, "Senior, are you guys in a stalemate?"

Before Fu Hua could answer, Wendy, who was wrapped in bandages on the hospital bed, answered first. She raised her head, tears still hanging from her curly eyelashes, and smiled awkwardly at the two of them, "Just now I was a little emotionally out of control, so I accidentally knocked over the things Fu Hua sent. Can you wait a moment? I'll clean it up right away after I wrap the bandages. I'm really sorry."

Fu Hua stared at the misty eyes of the girl, as if responding to the sudden promise. She replied, "It's okay, just calm down. The injured don't need to do this."

She was going to clean up the broken glass and then ask the logistics department to change Wendy's ward. The other party's actions and tone were very bad, but she was still prepared to believe in the choice of Ji Zi, Kiana, and Shen Yunie.

She reached out to take the broom, but Shen Yunie, who was taller than her, grabbed it with a hook and walked forward to sweep it.

Shen Yunie didn't know how extreme Wendy's emotions were. The impression he had now was that this girl looked too pitiful. He quickly cleaned up the fragments and blood-stained bandages and raised his head. "If the Oceania branch continues to treat you like this, I'm afraid the Honkai energy fluctuation will soon be caused again."

"It's okay. This is the punishment I deserve." Wendy lowered her eyes, tears streaming down her pale face. She said weakly with trembling shoulders, "I will try my best to control my emotions. Thank you for supporting me to live. I will not let you down."

Shen Yunie and Fu Hua looked at each other. He saw the emotionless look in the senior sister's eyes. Fu Hua said calmly: "I will help you get some supplements. After you recover from your injuries, try to control your emotions."

Wendy looked at her, and a smile flashed across her rosy pupils, as if she had found something interesting. The girl said weakly, "Okay, thank you, Fu Hua."

"I'm going to find the logistics department." Fu Hua turned around and pushed the door open to leave. She didn't say anything to the boy, but Shen Yunie took the initiative to follow her out.

When they both turned around, Wendy wiped the tears from her face and smiled mischievously.

Shen Yunie followed Fu Hua silently, and left the old ward for a distance before he spoke calmly, "Wendy is just pretending. Such a personality should not be enough to support the stability of the Desire Gem in her body."

"Half of it, not all of it is fake." Fu Hua said, with a faint sigh in her tone, "According to the information, her original personality was weak. After becoming a Valkyrie, she became strong. Now, her emotions are affected by the gem and she is getting crazier. But it doesn't matter. The cowardly personality she pretends to have is also true. At least it won't trigger the gem."

It was rare for Shen Yunie to hear Senior Sister Xing talk so much.

Fu Hua suddenly turned around and looked at him, and said seriously: "Since Wendy deliberately pretends to be cowardly, then continue to act with her. Yu Nie, you should appear in front of her for a long time."

"Me? She would probably pretend like that in front of a lot of people."

"No, she should only show it in front of those of us who support her to be alive. She probably won't contact anyone else." Fu Hua understood the psychology of a crazy person very well, and she guessed all of Wendy's thoughts.

She just wanted to take advantage of the other person's psychology to ensure that Wendy could really survive.

"Transfer ward, Team Member Wendy?" The girl searched the list at the logistics counter. After confirming the name, she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, due to the recent war situation, there are many patients in the hospital. Some vacant wards are reserved for seriously injured patients who may appear later. I don't have the authority to do that. You can ask the director."

The girl's eyes fell directly behind the two of them. She smiled and waved, "Minister Emilia!"

Behind the two of them, a blonde woman with a graceful figure and a large windbreaker came over. Her delicate face showed a trace of fatigue, and she raised her red lips to smile, "Xiao Na, you have worked hard. Go and have a rest. I will do this for you."

Xiaona opened her eyes wide and shook her head quickly, "Minister, you are a Valkyrie and you just came back from the front line, how can you do this!"

"It's okay, I can do anything, just listen to me and go and rest." Emilia touched the girl's head, held her shoulders and led her out of the counter. She looked at the two of them and smiled, "What's the matter? Thank you for coming to support me."

Emilia readily agreed to the transfer to another ward. The Valkyrie always had a smile on her face, but she occasionally showed regret and sighed when talking about Wendy. She held her chin with a bitter smile, "Thank you for supporting Wendy to live. I raised her since she was a child. I know how kind she is, but I can't ignore the lives of others."

The Valkyrie who was wondering whether Wendy was dead or alive was Emilia. "Everyone has the right to live. If you have a way to let her live, please do it."

……

The sun sank at the end of the horizon amidst the curling white mist. The equipment in the house was not new. There was only one bright light bulb in the room where Shen Yunie lived. He placed kerosene lamps in the other four corners of the room to barely keep it bright.

He sat on the bed, lowered his eyelashes and thought about the method and meaning. The light and shadow distorted slightly, and then Leah, who had woken up, stood barefoot beside him, looking out the window at the simple and tidy town houses. The yellowish leaves blown by the wind fluttered down one after another, creating ripples in the pond, and the thick fog gradually blurred everything.

She retracted her gaze, stepped back and sat between the boy's legs, "The Honkai energy here is very heavy, it smells like a Herrscher."

"It's the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite, right next to us." Shen Yunie placed both hands on her round shoulders and clasped them together. "The situation is a bit more complicated than expected, but fortunately there isn't a very intense battle."

Shen Yunie explained to Leah what had happened since arriving today. Leah couldn't help but frown as she listened, "If we let her die because of this, it would be too much. She clearly still had a chance to live and change all this pain."

"We have the same idea, so we need to change her control over her emotions." Shen Yunie smiled. Perhaps because of Leah's kind character, he was also influenced since childhood.

Leah turned around and placed her hands on his chest before kissing him on the lips, "We need to help her so that we can make the same choices we are making now about what may happen to us in the future."

Shen Yunie knew she was talking about Xilin.

"it is good."

There was a knock on the door, and Kiana's energetic voice came, "Shen Yunie, come out for dinner, and we have something to discuss."

Shen Yunie and Leah looked at each other, and the soft body in her arms disappeared. Leah returned to the space and urged, "Let's go. I also want to hear what the plan is."

The living room was also lit only by kerosene lamps. The food was very ordinary and monotonous. To take care of these children who were still in the growth stage, Jizi proudly asked for more meat from the food distribution place. She sat at the table and carefully tasted the food made by Mei. Before today, because the Honkai fluctuations had not stopped, they basically ate compressed biscuits.

She showed a satisfied look, holding her chin and looking at the wine on the cabinet. It was given to her by Emilia. At that time, Jizi didn't care about it. After the short end of this long war, she suddenly felt the desire to drink.

Jizi smacked her lips and forced her gaze back. "Stop being busy. Now that we have finally calmed down, let's eat quickly. If there is no Houkai energy fluctuation next time, the cafeteria in the town should be able to operate, and we won't have to get only a certain amount of food every day like we do now."

Fu Hua and Shen Yunie arrived late, and Ji Zi, Kiana and the other two actually experienced the more difficult time in the previous period.

The six of them sat together, the flickering kerosene lamps creating a rare sense of warmth. After everyone had eaten something, Jizi raised her head and asked, "Tell me about the plan. We finally managed to stop the fluctuations, and it would be best if Wendy could directly control her emotions from now on."

The people in the North American branch are in the worst mood right now, and the people in the Far East branch are not doing well either. There are too many injured people in the Oceania branch, and Emilia has discussed with me whether to put Wendy in solitary confinement or take her away from here. If the problem is more serious, she may even be killed. "

How can she control her emotions? Under the influence of the Herrscher Gem and the hostility of the people around her, it is very difficult for Wendy to calm down even if she wants to.

Kiana looked at everyone and saw that no one spoke, so she tentatively said, "I think she needs emotional support and someone important to her, so she will try to control her emotions and live. Not only for herself, but also for that person."

"Use your and Meiyi's case on her?" Shen Yunie raised her eyebrows and found this remark interesting.

"Yes, you see, Mei can control herself very well now, and it's all thanks to me." Kiana pointed at herself and smiled proudly.

Mei's face turned a little red, and she couldn't refute Kiana's words. When she was affected by the Conquest Gem, the people she thought of most were her companions. If she lost control, she would kill them first, so she tried her best to control the gem.

This is indeed a good example. In the absence of a better way, Ji Zi nodded seriously and looked at everyone present. She suddenly asked curiously, "Who should we let be the emotional sustenance?"

Kiana pointed at Shen Yunie who was drinking water, "Of course it's him!"

Shen Yunie's hand holding the water cup froze, he put the cup down, frowned and showed a puzzled expression. Why him?
