Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

During the boring self-study, Shen Yunie called the three girls to another empty classroom.

Kiana walked in with Mei, looking at Bronya warily, like a child who was afraid of being snatched away by others. Then the gray-haired girl would say in a cold tone: "Kiana is a fool, Mei will never like you."

"I won't like you as a third party either!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Mei quickly spoke to comfort them. As long as she spoke, the two would stop quarreling. She turned her eyes to the boy who had already sat down, "Let's hear what happened."

Shen Yunie felt like he had become Ragnar back then. It was the dean who told him everything about Honkai. He said calmly, "Do you remember what the bikers said when we first met? Actually, what they said is true. The world we live in is not as beautiful as it seems.

There is also a natural disaster called collapse, which will gradually grow when human civilization begins to develop..."

Shen Yunie told the three girls everything about Honkai, including that the meteorite disaster was actually a fake. Bronya's face did not change at all, she already knew everything. The other two girls were surprised, but after going through so many things, they were not unable to accept it.

"This is the situation. Saint Freya needs the three of you, and this is where you belong."

After hearing this, Kiana finally understood what kind of monster she encountered in the cave. She subconsciously reached out and touched her back. Curiously, "I was also born with a stigmata, so why don't I have a mark on my back?"

"You are not, but your body is strong enough to withstand the imprint of the holy mark." Shen Yunie said calmly. The reason why he was able to take Kiana away was because the girl had a body that was beyond ordinary people.

That healing ability is comparable to that of a Honkai user, and her resistance to Honkai is also very strong.

Mei had a thoughtful expression. She had been forced to accept the stigmata since she was a child, and she already had a lot of thoughts about this in her mind. The boy's last words touched her heart, and she nodded gently, "Well, I choose to go with you. I have been forced to take this path and contribute to this world."

Kiana felt incredible and wanted to ask something else, but she heard Bronya agree without thinking. She closed her mouth, hesitated for a while and said helplessly: "Okay, I will go with you, wherever Mei goes, I will go!"

Shen Yunie's mission was now all completed. He said calmly, "We'll set off in five days."

Mei seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Will you take Yuno with you? If not, you should say goodbye properly."

53. Farewell Agreement

Kiana stopped preparing to leave, and when she saw the boy's expression change slightly, she sat down in front of him and said seriously: "Yunuo looks very fond of you. That guy won't give up easily, what are you going to do, Shen Yunie?"

Shen Yunie frowned and said, "I will say goodbye properly, so you guys better get ready.

Watching the three girls leave the classroom, he sat alone and suddenly felt a little lost. Saying goodbye properly was something he had never done before. He didn't like people leaving him. There were only a few people who could accompany him. When one person left, he would feel a little more lonely.

The reason why he didn't take Yuno away was for her safety.

Leah appeared at the table opposite him. Seeing the worried little boy, she reached out and touched his face. "Okay, it's just a simple goodbye. Let her leave here quickly and promise to see her again soon, okay?"

"Sister Leah, don't you resist Yuno?" Shen Yunie came back to his senses and looked at her curiously.

"No resistance, she has already impressed me." Leah jumped off the table, pulled the little boy up from the chair, and pushed him out of the classroom. "Anyway, let's go and say goodbye. We can't let the girl wait too long."

Shen Yunie was pushed out of the classroom. When she staggered forward two steps and raised her head, Yuno was standing there. After the indefinite suspension of classes, students could basically do whatever they wanted. The girl leaned against the guardrail, and her sight was a steady stream of students leaving the school.

"Are you done chatting?" Seeing the young man walking towards her, Yuno smiled with curved eyebrows.

There seemed to be an inexplicable sadness about her that made Shen Yunie speechless. He stood beside her and watched the students leave the school.

"I have a cherry tree at home. My father spent a lot of money to buy it. It will bloom in October." The girl's tone was full of regret. She was reluctant to give up her current life. Her friends and the people she loved were all around her. If she left, everything would be broken.

When will we meet next time? Do we have to wait another three years?

"It's a pity that I won't be able to see it this year if I move to Kyoto."

There was deep reluctance in her tone, and Shen Yunie gradually realized at this moment that the girl actually had the same idea as herself. She didn't want her life to change, and she didn't want to maintain those relationships again.

She has no ability to fight against Honkai beasts, and can only scream when facing scary things. She will chat with her friends about which milk tea is delicious and whether the new math teacher's class is annoying. She just wants to maintain the best life now.

Shen Yunie turned his gaze to the girl. After a long silence, he asked, "Do you want to see the cherry blossoms?"

"The blooming season is over now, how can there be any cherry blossoms?" Yuno blinked in confusion, and an inexplicable urge came to her heart, "I want to see them."

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand was suddenly held tightly. Her body was pulled forward uncontrollably. She saw a firm look on the boy's face, and then the corners of his mouth rose, "It will happen. There will always be flowers that bloom in this season."

Shen Yunie didn't know how to say goodbye to the girl properly, but now he has figured it out. Take Yuno to see the flowers once and keep this beautiful memory as a memory after separation.

In the parking lot of the single apartment, he jumped on his motorcycle and signaled the girl with his eyes to sit down. Yuno hesitated for a while, then sat on it carefully. Before she could sit firmly, the motorcycle roared, and she was so scared that she quickly hugged Shen Yunie's waist.

"Haven't you sat on it before?" Shen Yunie looked at the frightened girl and loosened his grip on the handle a little.

"I'm a good kid. Kiana and Mei don't have motorcycles either."

As soon as he finished speaking, the motorcycle roared for the second time. Shen Yunie rushed out of the community with the girl, driving fast on the road. A sense of pleasure rose in his heart. He smiled in the wind and said, "I'll take you to play!"

"Aren't we going to see the flowers?" The sound of the wind whistled in her ears. Yuno hid her head on the boy's broad back. She stretched out a hand as if she wanted to catch the wind.

In Changkong City, they rode on a motorcycle for two people and drove through most of the city's botanical gardens when most of the stores were closed. Until sunset, Shen Yunie slowed down a lot, feeling a little regretful. After driving through so many places, it was a pity that there were no blooming cherry trees.

He was thinking about where to go next to find it.

"Brother Hane, let's go to my house." Yuno said. Although she hadn't seen flowers all day, there was a happy smile on the girl's face.

She no longer cared about not being able to see the cherry blossoms after going to so many places. As long as Shen Yunie had her in his heart, it was enough to make her happy.

Shen Yunie completely lowered the car and drove towards the nearby residential area under the command of the girl. Yuno's house was the most ordinary single-family house, just like the girl's ordinary status. You can see the lush cherry trees growing outside the yard.

The October cherry blossoms have not yet bloomed. There are only drooping branches. The pink buds have swelled a lot. It will take another three months for them to truly bloom.

Yuno lived alone in her home. After returning home, the girl ran back to her room excitedly to prepare something. Shen Yunie was left sitting on the bench outside looking at the cherry tree. Liya appeared and sat quietly with the little shota.

Leah looked at Shen Yunie with a gratified look, feeling that her child was growing up. "She did a great job this time. We can just talk to her properly next time."

"It's a pity that I still like Sister Leah." Shen Yunie smiled faintly. Facing the separation from the girl, she felt the most regretful. It felt like the reluctance of a good friend leaving. "This is what I have to do to protect her."

"Don't say such inappropriate things, otherwise I won't be very happy!" Leah stretched out her hand and pinched the little boy's face. He was actually thinking about her when he was saying goodbye to a girl. It felt like he was a playboy!

Yuno ran back with two cups of hot milk. She handed them to the boy. Seeing this, Leah tactfully gave up her seat and returned to the space.

"It doesn't matter if I can't see you, as long as Brother Yu Ni is here." She sipped her milk. The cold wind that had blown for so long before made her feel cold. The girl looked up at the buds that were about to fall in front of her. "I have few friends, and I don't want to see such a day disappear. When I feel lonely in the future, I will think about what happened today, and I won't be so sad."

"Don't you want to go with me?" Shen Yunie looked at her, not understanding the girl's psychological change.

"No, you have your own things to do. Having these memories is enough. But brother Yunie has to promise to come and see me when you have time in the future. I will always wait for you." Yuno turned around, her face full of seriousness, and stretched out a little finger towards him.

"I promise you." Shen Yunie held the little finger.

Their fingers were hooked together. He rarely promised others things, but once he promised, he would do it without reservation. Just like he promised now, he would go to see Yuno when it was safe, firmly considering her safety.

54. Before leaving

A few days had passed since the meteorite disaster began. Shen Yunie came to the station in Changkong City and escorted the people away from here together with the people from the Metropolitan Police Department.

There are only two days left before he leaves. After that, when all the people have left, the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department will evacuate, and Changkong City will be completely blocked and turned into an empty city.

Of course, there are still many people who are determined not to see any disasters. Even if the authorities use force to expel them, they still choose not to leave. For this reason, the top leaders of Changkong City can only let them go and wait until the city is closed to cut off all energy here.

Foolish people will eventually pay the price for their choices.

Accompanying Shen Yunie was Okano Yu, who was handing over the Honkai Energy User. Looking at the crowd getting on the train, he turned to the side, silently took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

As the smoke filled the air, this gentle man showed a melancholy, and seemed to have become much older in an instant. He smiled bitterly and said, "The collapse is really a terrible disaster. Even if it doesn't happen, it can still make people fall into fear."

Shen Yunie retracted her gaze to him, who smiled faintly and handed her a cigarette, but he refused it again.

Okano Yu exhaled milky white smoke from his mouth, looking melancholy. "Actually, I understand those who don't want to leave. I am the same. This is my home, the familiar streets, and the place where my wife and I have made memories. If I can, I don't want to leave either. I will accompany this city to the end."

"People who can't give up anything can't change anything." Shen Yunie said calmly. The world seemed hazy through the smoke. He stretched out his hand and put it on the other's shoulder. "When we get to other places, there will be a better life."

"That's true, life is the most important thing." Okano Yu smiled, and found his previous idea of ​​staying funny. He put out the cigarette he had just smoked, and prepared to continue to perform his duties. Looking at the handsome boy next to him, he sighed, "You should leave too, Honkai is very dangerous, isn't it?"

Shen Yunie walked out of the station. In front of him were a large number of people carrying their luggage and preparing to leave. He walked around the crowd and walked alone on the quiet street. Just as Okano Xiong said, it was time for him to leave.

There were no shops open on the street. Every day, hundreds of thousands of people evacuated from here, and the city that originally had a population of one million became increasingly empty. He and Leah walked on the street without a purpose, ready to see what the scene would be like after it was empty.

"Are those people...robbing things?" Leah's eyes fell on the corner of the street, where she saw a group of people gathered together and fighting over something. Most of the people in the Metropolitan Police Department went to evacuate the crowd, and now there were few people caring about the situation on the street.

People who choose to stay in Changkong City do so because of their obsessions, because their originally beautiful life would be shattered if they leave here, and for many other reasons.

No matter what the reason was in their hearts, they were all crazy at this moment, trying to get enough food resources to survive after the city was closed.

We must also prevent ourselves from being forcibly taken away from here by patrolling police officers.

"Don't care?" Leia couldn't help frowning as she watched them fight. A slightly weaker woman was pushed to the ground, and even when she was crawling she was still struggling to grab something.

Shen Yunie did not speak, but walked forward silently. The armband that Okano Xiong had given him earlier came in handy.

"Hey, the police are here!" Someone's face changed immediately when he saw the boy's armband. He quickly shouted to his companions, then turned around and ran.

The crowd dispersed, and the woman who was pushed to the ground looked at him with fear, struggled to pick up those things and turned to flee.

Shen Yunie saw everyone disappearing before his eyes. He knew very well that there were still many places in the city where such things were happening, and they would continue to happen in the future. He said helplessly, "Perhaps there are still many places where such things are happening."

Leah didn't say anything else, just looked at the scattered packaging bags on the ground, her eyes became complicated. People think in different ways and from different perspectives, they can only change a small number of people, they don't have the ability or the right to make everyone obey their command to change.

At night, Shen Yunie was called to Yuno's house. Qianyu Academy had been closed, and the only students who had not left the city were probably the four of them.

This was a gathering before the group separated. Yuno seemed very happy but occasionally a look of loneliness could be seen on her face.

Shen Yunie walked on the balcony on the second floor. In a place where the corridor could not be seen clearly, he sat down and handed the milk in his hand to the air, "Sister Leah, drink some. I will cook for you when we get back."

Leah appeared with warm milk in her hands. She took a sip and a smile appeared on her face. Then she urged the little boy, "I know. You should go and accompany them. There is no time, right?"

Shen Yunie nodded, making sure that the girls who came up would not suddenly see a quilt floating in the air, and then turned and walked downstairs. The girls had already eaten, and Mei was responsible for cleaning up the dishes. Kiana and Bronya accompanied her. The three of them stood in the kitchen facing a sink.

This made the hostess Yuno at a loss, and then she was pushed out of the kitchen. Seeing Shen Yunie coming over here, she smiled helplessly at him.

The two sat down in the living room, and Shen Yunie asked, "Yunao, when are you going to leave?"

"I've bought the ticket for the day after tomorrow. We're leaving the day after tomorrow." Yuno stood up and waved the ticket in front of the TV. She sat back in her chair, the smile on her face gradually disappearing, followed by a deep sense of loneliness. "The day after tomorrow, after Brother Hane leaves."

The girl's mobile phone notes recorded the memories with her friends. These will also become her remembrance of them after they parted.

On the closed building in Changkong City, the woman's figure was stretched a lot. She was wearing a dress like an employee in the workplace, and the S-shaped logo lying on her chest was embroidered with a circle of golden silk thread on the outer layer. That was the symbol of anti-entropy.

She came to the guardrail and quietly looked down at the scenery of most of Changkong City. The streets that were supposed to be full of neon lights and pedestrians were dark, and the bustling buildings were completely dark.

Several people who followed him stood respectfully at the side.

"How is the Third Herrscher doing?" The woman asked softly, holding her cheek with her hand and her rosy lips slightly parted.

"Still in the city. Everything you need is ready." The attendant replied respectfully, "Lord Cocolia."

The woman withdrew her gaze from the dim city. If it was not necessary, she would not want to sacrifice so many lives. Before achieving something great, there will always be people who make sacrifices. Until the greatness is thoroughly proven, the abuse will turn into worship.

When Cocolia has completed everything, Anti-Entropy will completely replace Destiny and become a hero in people's hearts.

55. Last day's mission

"I'm so sorry that I need your help at this time."

Shen Yunie listened to the other party's apologetic tone and stood up calmly. He replied to the other end of the phone: "It doesn't matter. I'm leaving tomorrow anyway."

After putting on her clothes, she was originally planning to go to Qianyu College, but now her plan has changed. He is going to carry out a mission with Okano Yu. Standing on the balcony and looking at the surrounding scenery, Leah was absent-minded for a long time. Looking at the gloomy sky, she murmured in her mouth that the weather today was not very good, which seemed to make her feel unhappy.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Okano Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile gradually appeared on his face after hanging up the phone. He had already regarded this young man as a friend in his heart. The empty street in his sight was the first time he saw Changkong City in this state, and he felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Before he could lose consciousness for long, Shen Yunie's figure appeared in front of him. He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. "You haven't evacuated yet?"

"Yeah." Okano Yu stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove smoothly on the street. Now, no one would care even if they were speeding, but of course he would not do that. "Police officers should cover the rear for the people, and we old ones should cover the rear for the newcomers."

This is their responsibility. Except for those with special abilities that cannot be dealt with, the Metropolitan Police Department basically takes care of everything.

"There aren't many people in the police station, so I had to ask you to come along."

Shen Yunie turned her head and looked at the rapidly changing scenery around her. "What is our mission?"

"We've received quite a few calls recently. These guys are really something. They don't listen to us and come after us at the critical moment! Let's just maintain law and order patrols as usual today."

The two of them looked up at the sky at the same time. Dark clouds gathered towards the city, making people feel uneasy. Driving into a residential area in front of a supermarket, Shen Yunie saw that several people had broken the door lock with weapons and were taking out supplies from inside.

He could still remain calm when seeing this scene, but Okano Yu, who was full of justice, would not allow it. He stopped the car and shouted at the crowd from a distance: "What are you doing? You are now guilty of theft, do you know that?"

The shouts interrupted people's actions. They stopped and turned around to see two policemen, one big and one small, standing not far away. Some people put down their things and left, while others moved their things on their own. Several strong young men looked at them viciously.

One of them said, "Hey, you nosy guys, aren't you here to run for your lives? Why are you caring about us? Get lost now!"

"You bastard..." Okano Yu gritted his teeth in anger. He could not let go of the responsibility in his heart and on his shoulders. As if knowing that he would take action, the strong young men exuded a fierce momentum. With their numbers and stature alone, they naturally had the upper hand.

Okano Yu subconsciously touched the pistol on his waist, and after a few seconds of thinking, he retracted his hand. He decided to subdue the men with his bare hands. With Shen Yunie, a Honkai energy user, by his side, it would not be too difficult.

Suddenly, a figure came to my side, and a hand flashed across my waist. "Bang——"

Gunshots rang out, and gun smoke filled the air. Shen Yunie's first shot was aimed at the sky, and the next shot was aimed at the crowd. The boy's expression was cold, and his fingers gently opened the safety, as if he would shoot soon.

"Damn, they have guns!" The crowd that was originally aggressive was instantly frightened by the sound of gunfire, and the previous momentum was gone. They were all guys who cherished their lives, and the young people instantly fled in all directions. All of them ran into the alley and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Okano Yu was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. When he realized it, there was no one left to catch him. He turned his head and looked at the boy who handed him the gun with a puzzled look.

"It's useless. What's the point of catching them? There are many guys like this. We can't take care of them. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible." Shen Yunie doesn't have such a sense of justice in his heart.
