Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

Shen Yunie pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, please."

He could actually see a lot, but the two of them were just casual acquaintances, so he spoke less in order to completely cut off the other party's thoughts. Shen Yunie had done this many times. There were more women in the collapsed world, and the one he met in the normal society was Su Mian. They had a good relationship but it was impossible for them to be together.

He took Hua's hand, stopped talking, and walked towards the entrance.

"Shen Yunie, can we meet again?"

"Maybe never again. I can't promise you that."

Two parallel lines intersect at a certain moment, and then return to a parallel state in the blink of an eye, and there is no chance for them to intersect again.

Su Mian looked at the two in a trance, her eyes inadvertently reddened, and she didn't leave until the back figure disappeared for a long time. The crowds near the station gradually increased. The surging crowd swallowed her up in a blink of an eye. She was just a drop in the ocean, an inconspicuous and ordinary person in the vast sea.

Shen Yunie and Hua have already boarded the suspended train to Tianqiong City, bidding farewell to the city where they have stayed for two years. He felt no emotion in his heart and had no deep impression of this city, just like he could not remember Su Mian clearly, but he would never forget the woman who was willing to help him when he was lonely and helpless.

Leah pinched her chin, her eyes fell on his face, and suddenly she smiled helplessly, "Sure enough, you have grown up a lot, and you can already reject others ruthlessly."

"Yes, I can only refuse." Shen Yunie could not deny, "During the time I was here, I was often thinking about what to do next, and I didn't pay much attention to her."

Leah shook her head and said only two words, "Heartless."

When Hua really realized that she was leaving, she was much more excited than Shen Yunie. She knew that she didn't have to be silent anymore. She looked out the window curiously. Tianqiong City was like heaven and earth compared to Yucheng. She could already see the shadow of the former civilized city in this city.

She tugged at Shen Yunie's clothes and said, "Look at those, fully automated amusement parks and shopping malls, robots have begun to walk everywhere. I remember that the Canghai City in the pre-civilization was like this."

"It's not like I haven't seen it before..." Shen Yunie touched his nose. Looking at the equipment, he could only think that the civilization of this world was developing rapidly, and the collapse would become stronger and stronger. His strength was still too weak, and he couldn't even face the most basic collapse beast tide.

So he still had to become stronger and protect the people around him, and he had to do these two things at the same time. And he would never be like before, unable to protect the people around him.

Hua curled her lips, the little pride in her heart disappeared, her eyes fell on the arc of his mouth, "You seemed to be talking to yourself just now?"

"No, I was answering someone else." Shen Yunie shook his head and admitted frankly, his smile getting bigger.

Hearing this, Hua lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought. In her memory, Shen Yunie would occasionally look like this. She frowned and asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

"I'll introduce you to Kiana after I find her." Shen Yunie's smile was a bit mysterious. Finding Kiana, finding Xilin, these things can be easily solved. Although he was not completely sure, this was the only chance he could take.

The expression on Hua's face instantly became stiff, the corners of his mouth bent downwards, and he turned his head away in anger, no longer paying attention to Shen Yunie, "So mysterious."

In the past two years, various organizations have joined the Sky City. While this technological city is developing rapidly, there has been a fight between various organizations in secret. Tianming did not go in to disrupt the situation, and Anti-Entropy has disappeared for a long time. Shen Yunie does not have to worry about being discovered, but he is also facing a problem.

I have been hiding for so long, what should my relatives and friends do? How should Yaesakura face it?

"I want to see Sakura." Leah said to Shen Yunie sincerely. Leaving Yae Sakura there and leaving her alone, it would not be easy for her to have these two years.

A feeling of guilt and a strong desire for missing her rose in my heart. I wanted to hold her hand, hug her, and express my apologies and longing for her.

"Yune, have you thought about how to apologize after we meet?"

Shen Yunie was stunned for a moment, "No, but I miss her very much."

Thinking of the cherry blossom-like witch, his heart beat rapidly, and some joy and sorrow rose in his heart. No matter how good-tempered a person is, if he is easily abandoned, it is impossible for him to treat himself kindly. Being scolded, ignored or even beaten was all within Shen Yunie's expectations.

He was actually quite afraid of this. After thinking about it, he came up with an answer in his mind. He said with a smile: "I have already thought about what to do next. If Sister Leah helps me, Sister Ying won't be so angry."

107. News about the Herrscher of the Void

As night falls, the dark sky is dotted with stars. The crescent moon hanging in the sky is not conspicuous in this city. The neon lights almost turn this place into a city that never sleeps. The stars in the sky are actually points of light on the sky that can detect weather disasters and can be more useful when necessary.

Sky City is one of the most developed cities in the world. Two years ago, a large number of mechanical facilities poured in, and people have gradually adapted to living with intelligent machines. Seeing a burly person with a strange skin color on the side of the road is not strange, because they are just humans who have undergone prosthetic transformation.

A sufficiently developed economy is bound to lead to an increase in population, including many people without identification or with insufficient working ability. Everyone wants to get a chance here. Beneath the prosperity lies darkness and dirtiness, towering buildings, and streets full of debauchery. At a distance are areas defined as dilapidated buildings and to be demolished. There are almost no street lights on the cement roads, and it is pitch black. People of all kinds come and go.

The girl deliberately pulled her cap down a little, even though this action did not reduce the suspicious looks from those around her.

Although people were curious, they never did anything out of the ordinary. There were many people like her, hiding in places like this simply because they didn't have enough identity documents, even foreigners were the same. They were indifferent and puzzled until the girl's back disappeared into the darkness.

Coming to a dead end, the girl sighed as if she had lost all her strength, and slid down with her back against the wall, holding a few pieces of bread in her arms that the convenience store was going to throw away because it couldn't sell them.

She didn't care at all and started eating the bread in big mouthfuls. Her deep blue eyes were dim in the darkness, revealing the same confusion as the passers-by.

Kiana has gradually accepted the reality. When she woke up, she was shocked to find that she had been sleeping for two years. The memories in her mind gradually emerged, and she felt only pain and confusion. Shen Yunie, her mother, Meiyi, and Jizi tried their best to save her, but in the end she was afraid and hid in the cave for several days.

The soul of Sirin in her body is not dead, she is still sleeping, and the Herrscher's Honkai energy is constantly eroding her body. Kiana is afraid that she will lose control and turn into a Herrscher, and she has no face to face her friends. She has hurt almost everyone, even her mother Cecilia.

Finally, when her body could no longer bear the pain of hunger, she trudged through the barren fields to reach Sky City, hiding in the darkness of the city and surviving for a month.

zizi——

While eating, Kiana suddenly choked and felt a sharp pain in her body. She lost her grip on the bread and it fell to the ground, staining it. Tears filled the girl's eyes and her hands wavered in the air. This pain was caused by the Herrscher's energy. It wouldn't be long before this place would become a land that breeds dead soldiers and Honkai beasts.

She is a monster, and her staying here is persecuting ordinary people. But Kiana cannot escape from city life, and can only avoid the malice she exudes towards the world.

But she would soon have to make a new choice. It was already late at night. Kiana, who was half-eaten, sat against the wall with her knees hugged. She could not go out on the street without an ID, otherwise an intelligent robot would stop her and notify the nearby cyborg police, and she would face interception.

There are hotels on this black market street, but Kiana has no money and is afraid to communicate with people. She only wears a baseball cap and a mask late at night and goes to the convenience store to pick up food that expires in one day.

The girl was going to sit here until tomorrow night, and from time to time, a few faces flashed through her mind, as if those people were standing in front of her, with smiles on their faces and reaching out to her. Kiana needed them, but when she raised her hand to touch them, those people disappeared like bubbles.

Kiana's eyes were empty, she put her hands down weakly, her red eyes were sore but she couldn't shed tears.

Heavy footsteps sounded, followed by a woman's trembling voice, "Help...Help..."

Two shadows flashed outside the alley. Kiana could vaguely make out in the moonlight that a woman was being chased by assassins. The woman probably fell and stumbled as she ran, and was almost caught by the monster behind her. In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared from sight.

Did you bring it upon yourself?

Kiana was unsure. At that moment, she had an impulse to get up and help. Then the figure disappeared from her sight, and her impulse was gone. As expected, she was a monster that only caused panic and disaster. She was the one who brought the malice of the world. What was the point of helping that woman?

Why did Shen Yunie, her mother, and everyone else try their best to save her? They were the ones who deserved to be protected from harm.

"Help me..." The woman's voice came again, with a little more crying. She seemed to be forced into a desperate situation, hoping that someone would save her, but she knew that death was normal in this black market.

When hearing a cry for help, people's first reaction is to stay away to avoid being affected.

Kiana buried her face in her arms, her body began to tremble with sighs. She was really scared... the world was getting worse and worse out of her control.

……

The underground intelligence station in Sky Dome City has the latest news. Many people in the city make a living by selling intelligence. Among them, the one with the most widespread information is a man named Gray Snake. Up to 80% of his body has been transformed by artificial bodies. No one knows where he came from. As soon as he appeared, he had a lot of information about Honkai.

What has attracted the attention of all organizations now is his claim that he has the information and whereabouts of the Herrscher of the Void in his hands.

The Herrscher of the Void has been missing for two years, and every time he appears, he causes great destruction. Naturally, both Destiny and Anti-Entropy have noticed this, and the peaceful world is once again in turmoil.

In a hotel in Tianqiong City, Shen Yunie was listening to Hua's analysis. There was a lot of information in the girl's memory, including information about the man named Gray Snake.

"As far as I know, the prosthetics used on Gray Snake's body are all from Shencheng Medicine. This organization is connected to Mikoyan Technology, and in my memory, they belong to an organization called... World Serpent." Hua spoke seriously to Shen Yunie. It was rare to see him listening to her attentively. She thought about it and wanted to say a few more words.

The memory has been disconnected and only some vague memories remain. "The world snakes are left over from the previous destiny. They control more than destiny and anti-entropy."

The girl's face turned red as she slowly uttered a few words, "I forgot the rest."

"Well, it's enough." Shen Yunie nodded thoughtfully. Looking at Hua's appearance, he smiled and touched the girl's head. "Let's not talk about Shencheng Medicine for now. We have to find the gray snake first."

Hua's eyes were bright, and he asked impatiently, "Let's go together?"

"Correct."

"Great!"

The girl stood up excitedly. Her action was not small. She only lifted a piece of the skirt in front of her thighs to reveal her fair skin and the edge of her black safety pants. Shen Yunie looked down at her skirt and smiled helplessly, "Remember not to wear a skirt when you are moving, otherwise it will be too troublesome."

He pulled the skirt down and smoothed it out. When he was done, he stood up and walked towards his room. "Go to bed early. You're exhausted from the car ride today."

Hua's smile was a little stiff, and she looked at Shen Yunie's departing back and uttered a surprised cry. A sense of loss rose in her heart. Shen Yunie always treated her as a sister, and she always felt that no matter how good their relationship was, there was an invisible barrier.

The confidence she had in Su Mian at that time has now disappeared, as if she is also a loser.

Returning to the room, Shen Yunie saw a figure slowly condensing on the bed. Leah was lying on the bed, looking tired. She tried to cheer herself up, "Is Kiana really here?"

"I don't know. As long as there is news, I can't miss it. I can look for it all over the world." Shen Yunie's expression softened when facing Leah, with dark eyelashes drooping and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He sat on the bed, holding the pair of slender legs on his knees and kneading them for her. "Once we find Kiana, it will be time to meet everyone."

"Thank you very much."

After rubbing her legs for a while, Leah stood up and crawled into his arms to sit down. The distance between them was very close. Shen Yunie was half a head taller than Leah, his chin just rubbed against her forehead, and a light fragrance floated from the tip of his nose. Shen Yunie lowered his head slightly, leaned over and kissed her lips to absorb more of the fragrance.

After a while of rubbing their ears together, the atmosphere in the room became ambiguous. The two people who met again still had a lot of things to do. Shen Yunie was interested in this, but because Liya was not in a good state and had a lot of things to do, she suppressed all those desires.

It seems a little out of control now.

Leah's face was flushed, her moist lips opened and closed, she stretched out her hand to pinch Shen Yunie's chin, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to do?"

"Do... I think it's very obvious. Maybe it's written all over my face. Sister Leah didn't see it?"

Leah looked around. Her face, with clear outlines, looked white and slightly red under the light. Her long, thick eyelashes were drooping. Her dark eyes were bright and smiling. Her lips seemed to be wet by herself. It was a very beautiful face, but it just didn't say anything.

"can not tell."

"Then come closer and take a better look."

When Leah approached, suddenly all she could see was Shen Yunie's face. She felt a heavy feeling coming down on her and was pressed down on the bed.

……

Gray Snake was elusive in Sky City, and few people could find his real whereabouts. As for information about selling the Herrscher of the Void, he would only contact us if the amount of money offered on the underground black market was enough to cause a stir.

A few days later, shocking news came out from the underground black market: someone was willing to pay 500 million to buy information about the Herrscher of the Void. The person who sent the news was a strange woman. The huge amount of money made it hard not to associate it with the two major organizations in the world, but the woman was not from either of these two organizations. She knew everything about Honkai and wanted to gain benefits from the Herrscher of the Void.

108. Buy flowers for your girlfriend

The sky-high price caused a stir in the underground black market, and no one knew whether Gray Snake would accept it. But what was known was that the woman had already gotten ahead of Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

The woman's true identity was naturally Hua. No one could be sure whether Gray Snake knew about Kiana's news. The same public announcement did not require money, just opening his mouth to spread the information was enough. As long as Shen Yunie wanted, he could tell Hua that the amount of the meeting was higher.

They want to meet Kiana, and as for the fee, they won't be liars but they won't offer that high either.

A few days after the announcement, Shen Yunie and Hua did not receive a response from Gray Snake, and the two were not idle, searching for Kiana's whereabouts in Sky City. Until now, Shen Yunie has not contacted anyone from the Far East Branch. After the news is spread, Destiny and Anti-Entropy may come here, and then it will be the time for them to meet.

"Flowers, flowers—"

The white robot shaped like a bucket made a little girl's tender voice. It wandered on the road, passing by the feet of passers-by, and kept making tender voices to attract people's attention.

The robot's head was a platform with a bouquet of crushed ice blue and baby's breath on it. It stopped at the feet of the man in a suit and tie, "Sir, buy a bouquet for your wife. The flower language of crushed ice blue is to give you the sea of ​​stars, and baby's breath represents purity. It's very romantic, right?"

Hearing this, the man turned around and looked at his wife beside him. The woman had already lowered her head shyly, and her eyes on the bouquet clearly showed that she wanted it.

The robot's sales pitch was much better than that of the little girl, after all, how could the little girl understand these things? For the sake of a little romance, the man willingly paid for it. The glass cover of the platform slowly opened, and he gave the bouquet of flowers to his wife.

"Thank you for your patronage."

The robot slid past the couple and began to look for its next customer. Its intelligent facial analysis allowed it to quickly find the customer it was most likely to close with, and it came to a young couple.

It was still a young girl's voice. The bouquet on the platform turned into roses and baby's breath. "Brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for your girlfriend."

"I want star flowers and bluebell flowers." As soon as it finished speaking, Shen Yunie bent down and put money in. He had already decided which flowers he wanted.

"Okay, it's packed for you."

The star flower is the forget-me-not, it has the same color as the bellflower, but its appearance is very recognizable. When he left the town, Shen Yunie failed to take the flowers he raised with him, and now that he happened to come across them, he simply bought them.

After serving another customer, the robot was about to slip away from the two people, but it was blocked by a pair of evenly slender legs. After a brief pause, the robot turned around and tried to go around the side, but the owner of the legs stepped on its head to force it to stop.

"Be careful, please don't step on the robots—"

The sound of the alarm brought Shen Yunie back to his senses. He shifted his gaze from the bouquet and turned to look at the girl behind him.

Hua looked at the machine with an unfriendly gaze, and wondered in his heart why it didn't repeat its previous words a few more times when he couldn't even hear them clearly.

If I kick it to pieces, will it alert the nearby robot police?

"Please do not destroy the robots. Robots have the legal right to survive in Tianqiong City. Those who destroy robots without authorization will be punished—"

As if the little robot understood Hua's thoughts, the sound it made began to change.

Shen Yunie came up to the girl and asked doubtfully, "Do you want to destroy the robot?"

The little robot kept flashing red light, trying hard to push itself away from Hua's feet.

"No." The girl lowered her eyes and responded casually. Although she said so, she was still unwilling to let the robot go. She looked at the packed flowers in the glass cover and said, "I want them too."

Shen Yunie looked at her quietly for a few seconds, bent down and put the money in. The robot, which was still flashing red light, instantly changed its nervous words and slowly opened the glass cover.

"Thank you for your patronage."

Shen Yunie took out the bouquet, and Hua was willing to let the robot go. There was a shoe print next to the white head. All the alarms were lifted, and in a blink of an eye it disappeared from their sight and continued to sell its flowers.

"For you." Shen Yunie handed the flower to the girl.

Hua took it with her hand, but her expression was not very good. She lowered her eyes and sniffed the fragrance of the fresh flowers. Her eyes fell on the bouquet in Shen Yunie's hand again, "Shen Yunie, why are you so obsessed with these two kinds of flowers?"

Since two years ago, she had seen these two kinds of flowers. Shen Yunie would always water and care for them attentively, occasionally staring at them absentmindedly for a few seconds. Because of her careful care, the two kinds of flowers never withered and bloomed brightly.

"They remind me of someone." Shen Yunie smiled. In the past, when he saw flowers, he felt as if they were still with him. Now that Leah is back, he doesn't need to miss her, but these beautiful flowers still make him want to give them to Leah.
