Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

Cecilia shook her head. It was not that she was cold-hearted and forced the little boy to be as cold-hearted as she was. She just followed the principle that people should do what they should do at their age. If she expected two nine-year-old children to find her granddaughter, she might as well expect an adult to help.

And after she was sure that there were horrible creatures like zombies in the world, she agreed to let Yunie take risks even less often. He was the only one she could rely on in this world. If something happened to him, what would she do? Would she become a wandering ghost?

Shen Yunie withdrew his hesitation. He was not ready to take any risks. He looked at the girl and said seriously, "Bianca, let's go."

"This..." Bianca hesitated. She looked at the old man, then at Yu Nie's determined expression, and finally decided to obey, "Okay."

Before leaving, Shen Yunie came to the old woman and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, grandma, we can't help you."

"No, how can I trouble you two children..." The old woman shook her head repeatedly. She never thought that the two children could help in any way. She just felt more and more desperate in her heart. "You should go back soon."

She was still kneeling there with the sign in her hand. Passersby who passed by just glanced at her and continued doing their own things.

Pulling the girl away with a look of regret, Shen Yunie went to the place where the goods were stored, paid them and asked them to transport the purchased goods back to the welfare home. He also asked if he could take the two of them back to the welfare home together, but was refused.

The sun gradually sank in the west, and Shen Yunie took Bianca back the same way. He wanted to stay away from the woods, but there was only one road back to the orphanage, so he had no choice but to return the same way.

Bianca still seemed to feel regretful about not being able to help the old man, and she was feeling a little depressed as she held the doll in her hand.

Shen Yunie's hand was pulled by Liya, and she realized that she was still thinking about that matter. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said gently: "Are you still sad that you can't help?"

"Yeah, I feel so sorry for her." Bianca said dejectedly. She had never experienced the feeling of losing her only relative, but she had a deep understanding of loneliness.

Shen Yunie reached out and touched her head, comforting her as Sister Leah comforted herself, "There will be kind people to help her. We also want to help but we are unable to do so. Having this kind heart is enough."

After leaving the town, they walked a little further to the woods, where the road was built on the side of the woods. The light that could penetrate the woods disappeared, and when they looked into the woods, they could only see deep darkness, with a few dots of light occasionally lighting up like eyes staring at them in the darkness.

"Let's walk faster." Shen Yunie was a little worried that some monsters would appear in this quiet forest, so she quickened her pace. This section of the road was about three kilometers long, and according to the speed of the two children, they could finish it in half an hour.

The sun sinks to the horizon, it's the devil's hour.

Not sure if it was an illusion or what she heard, Bianca slowed down her pace and looked in confusion at a certain place where she felt there was a sound. "Yune, did you hear the crying?"

"Crying?" Shen Yunie was stunned. He began to listen carefully and then heard the same faint and miserable crying.

"Help, help... Grandma..."

Shen Yunie's heart was lifted. When he heard this sound, the fear in his heart overwhelmed his curiosity. Leave here! This was his current thought. Cecilia also became nervous and looked around but did not find any crying.

"Let's go, quick!"

Bianca started running with him, but stopped abruptly after a while. She stepped back a few steps in fear, "Yune, look over there! There's a child..."

Outside the woods, a girl was slumped under a few big trees. Her appearance could not be seen clearly in the dim light, and one could only see her wiping the tears from her face.

Bianca hid behind Shen Yunie. Seeing that it was just a girl, her fear was relieved. She looked at her for a while and said in surprise, "She is calling grandma. It's the lost child!"

The girl seemed to have seen the two men as well. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and crawled a distance towards them, shouting weakly, "Hello... Can you help me? My leg is injured."

Seeing the miserable appearance of the girl, Bianca was somewhat moved, and her worries disappeared, "Yune, I'll go help her."

"Hey, don't go!" Shen Yunie shouted nervously. He couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly, but even if he saw her, he wouldn't run up to her directly. "Let's go call someone over!"

Cecilia looked at the girl nervously. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her, she just looked miserable and pitiful, but suddenly she sensed a strange smell in the air.

Her expression changed instantly, "Yune, the smell of zombies is even stronger!"

“Bianca!!”

Shen Yunie quickly climbed over the guardrail, not caring what danger there was over there. Cecilia's command was completely unable to keep up with the speed, and he stumbled towards Bianca.

But she still couldn't catch up with Bianca. She quickly came in front of the girl, and as she got closer, she finally saw the girl's appearance clearly.

A face covered with tear marks, a strange white-purple color appeared on the arms and thighs, and was still spreading upwards, about to cover the body.

Bianca had seen this color before. The zombie's skin looked like this the night she first came to the orphanage! The girl in front of her was gradually turning into a zombie. Isn't that the reaction of a corpse coming into contact with the virus?

"Help me, my hand hurts so much..." The girl could no longer move and shouted in pain. The purple and white color spread very quickly and reached her abdomen in a blink of an eye. The expression on her face was hideous because of pain.

Bianca stared at the scene in a daze, her face pale. She had no idea what to do and took two steps back in fear.

Shen Yunie rushed down the slope, finally stopped and stumbled towards her again. Along the way, Cecilia also saw the girl's situation clearly.

It is absolutely shocking for a living person to turn into a zombie. If they had not seen zombies before, it is not impossible that they would be scared silly.

"Yune..." Bianca stared blankly at the boy running towards her.

"Let's go!" Shen Yunie grabbed her hand and turned around to leave. He didn't care what happened to the girl. It would be dangerous if he stayed here. "There are zombies here!"

There was a slight vibration from the ground, followed by the roar of falling trees. Bianca turned her head and saw a shocking scene that made her pupils shrink suddenly. A giant beast twice as big as a grizzly bear, with a purple and white body and limbs on the ground, rushed out of the woods.

That girl was its bait, or rather its prey!

The monster made no sound without roaring or roaring. Big trees in front of it were like fragile seedlings that broke at the touch of a finger. Its body emitted the same smell as zombies, but several times stronger, giving people a suffocating feeling.

Cecilia was slightly dazed when she saw the monster. She felt a sense of familiarity and something popped up in her mind. She subconsciously shouted, "Honkai Beast!"

The two children were running too slowly, and in the blink of an eye they were caught up by the Honkai beast. It raised its huge forelimbs high and smashed down in the direction of Bianca, "Bang!"

The attack missed, but the impact still came, Shen Yunie only felt the girl's hand loosen in his palm and completely broke away. He was shaken up, his body lost its center of gravity and hit the tree trunk hard.

Intense pain spread throughout his body, and then his consciousness dissipated like the tide. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then he fainted on the side without consciousness.

Bianca fell to the ground, and her calf seemed to be scratched by something sharp, and she felt a pain. She struggled to get up, but saw the giant beast running towards her, "Help me, Yune!"

11. Traces

When Shen Yunie woke up again, he was being held, with a faint fragrance lingering around his nose. He could see Sister Leah's eyes were red, with traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. He could only see Sister Leah, and it was from her that he learned what laughter was, what crying was, and how to express emotions with facial expressions.

He reached out and touched the corner of Leah's eyes, "Sister Leah, I'm fine."

Seeing the little boy wake up, Cecilia's complexion improved a little. With red eyes, she hugged Yunie's small body tightly, and there was a hint of tears in her tone, "I'm so scared, I'm so scared that something happened to Yunie. It's my fault that I didn't find out what was wrong in the first time..."

"No one could have imagined that there are such monsters in the world." Shen Yunie reached out and touched the head with long silver hair, and comforted him softly. His body was still slightly painful, and he felt tense. He must have been bandaged by Sister Leah when he was unconscious.

Cecilia rubbed the little boy's face hard, and the real touch calmed her flustered heart. At this moment, she was like a little girl, hugging her most beloved baby tightly, afraid that she would lose it if she let go.

"Sister Leah, you're hugging me so tight...my chest feels stuffy."

Cecilia looked down at her chest, and for a moment the idea of ​​losing weight came to her mind.

"Let's go find Bianca." Shen Yunie touched her head with a faint smile on his face. Now he felt like a brother.

Cecilia kissed him reluctantly before she was willing to let go. Time was running out. The trees around were broken by brute force, and there were deep dents on the ground. Shen Yunie felt a little scared when he touched the broken tree trunk. If he was hit head-on, he would probably never wake up again.

Honkai beasts, this kind of monster has the same smell as zombies, they should not be the original creatures of this world. The secret of the world seems to have been revealed. Shen Yunie is more worried about Bianca's current situation. What is the girl who acts carefree but is timid at heart like now? I hope she is still alive.

Relying on the guidance, Shen Yunie quickly searched in the woods, but everything was quiet and the cold wind was blowing, so he couldn't find it for a while. He asked: "Sister Leah, how do you know the name of the monster?"

"I must have seen it before, and I shouted it out subconsciously at that time." Cecilia thought. She could no longer remember the feeling at that critical moment, and now her mind was blank again. "Honkai, Honkai Beast, Stigmata, Valkyrie."

I remembered more words. What exactly am I?

Shen Yunie was walking on the road when he suddenly smelled a disgusting odor. He slowed down his pace and turned to face the source of the smell.

"That girl!" Cecilia exclaimed. She saw the girl who had asked them for help before, and then said in disappointment, "She's dead."

But at this time, the other party had stopped breathing, and the skin all over the body turned into a strange purple-white color, which was the appearance of a zombie. Shen Yunie sighed and prepared to take a detour to continue looking for Bianca. The more he encountered such a situation, the more afraid he was. When he found the girl, the other party had already become a zombie.

Under the faint moonlight, Cecilia saw a ball of white cotton hanging on the branch of a tree. She didn't pay attention until she saw another ball of cotton appear under a tree not far away. She suddenly came to her senses, "Yune, it's the cotton in the doll. It's what Bianca left for us!"

"She marked us?" Shen Yunie was stunned. Joy rose in his heart but was suppressed by nervousness. He immediately looked around, "Sister Leah, see if there are any others nearby."

"There's more at seven o'clock!"

The silent and dark woods gave off a terrifying and eerie feeling. The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the trees seemed as if someone had appeared, and the faint light that appeared in the darkness was like a pair of eyes staring at you.

The girl staggered through the bushes. The scars on her calves made it difficult for her to run. Her delicate face was stained with stains, and her clothes were torn by the sharp branches. She walked for a while and then tore off the cotton wool from the doll in her arms and hung it on the bushes. It was originally a delicate kitten doll, but now only half of its body was left.

Bianca looked around in panic, gasping for breath. The current situation made her want to burst into tears. But she didn't dare to cry, because that would attract the monster. She wanted to escape from here and see Shen Yunie again, so that he could buy her another doll.

"Click——"

The sound of trees breaking scared the girl, who immediately squatted down and covered her mouth to stop breathing. She looked in horror in that direction. A huge black shadow was walking slowly towards her not far away. The monster seemed to be able to smell her scent and was following her all the way.

Every time the Honkai Beast took a step, a tree would break. It stopped, and the smell in the air after the wind blew was everywhere. It was difficult to tell where the girl was for a while. After hesitating for a long time, it turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

"Huh..." Bianca heaved a long sigh of relief, her body limp against the tree trunk, she quickly took out her cell phone from her pocket and called the dean. Now she could only hope that the dean would come to save her and Yunie.

The Honkai Beast stopped, and a special wave in the air attracted its attention. However, the girl did not notice this, and was concentrating on waiting for the call to be connected.

The moment the call was connected, Ragna's anxious voice came from the other end. She almost shouted, "Bianca, where are you?!"

It's already eight o'clock in the evening. Logically, the two children should have been back by six o'clock!

"Dean, we were attacked by monsters in the forest..."

Before Bianca could finish her words, her phone slipped out of her hand, and a series of trees collapsed like an earthquake. The monster was running towards her at some point, and she froze in her expression and turned to run away. The sharp pain in her leg made her face pale instantly.

"Bianca? Bianca!" Ragna shouted to the other end of the phone. The roar hurt her eardrums. She listened to the noise blankly, and a thought came to her mind. The Honkai Beast is coming!

Shen Yunie, who was running in the woods looking for traces, stopped. He heard a roar and the ground shaking. Cecilia caught a figure flashing by in an instant, "Yunie, she's over there!"

The intense running caused the blood-clotted wound on her leg to rupture again. Bianca could no longer run. The heart-wrenching pain made her feel like she was going to faint. The monster behind her was getting closer and closer. It raised its front limbs high and smashed down, and the black shadow covered her entire body.

"boom!"

The strong wind hit her face, and Bianca subconsciously closed her eyes. She was grabbed by a sudden force, and her body did not feel the pain as expected. She lost her balance and fell into his arms. She was stunned for a long time before she squinted her eyes.

The boy's face appeared before her eyes, like a savior. She was stunned at first, her vision gradually blurred, something warm flowed out of her eyes, and then she broke down and cried loudly.

12. Black Abyss White Flower

This scene was deeply engraved in Bianca's mind, and she would never forget it until she grew up. She was only nine years old, and was suddenly chased by a monster that only appeared in movies. The emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time finally burst out after she saw the boy. She cried loudly and her heart gradually calmed down. Even though she had not escaped, she was not afraid anymore.

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Yunie comforted softly, feeling somewhat relieved, but soon his expression became solemn. The Honkai Beast was only five meters away from them. While the other party hadn't reacted yet, he pulled Bianca back step by step, "Sister Leah, can this monster be killed?"

"I don't know..." Cecilia looked confused. She seemed to have killed this kind of monster before, but she still couldn't remember how. What kind of power could kill this monster that was three people tall?

If you can't kill him, you can only run away. Bianca came back to her senses from her emotional collapse. After she started to run away, she felt a sharp pain in her calf. She turned pale and whispered, "Yune, my leg hurts."

Shen Yunie touched the girl's calf, feeling warm and sticky. He quickly bent down and said, "I'll carry you on my back!"

Bianca lay on his back as the Honkai beast turned and ran towards the two of them.

No matter how fast the two children ran, they could not catch up with the huge Honkai beast. It caught up with them almost instantly, and its huge forelimbs fell down fiercely, smashing several large trees in succession. Shen Yunie subconsciously threw the girl behind him out of this range, but he had no chance to escape.

The forelimbs suddenly fell from the air like a rammer, and the strong wind hit Shen Yunie's face, causing a tingling sensation all over his body. Not only him, Cecilia also showed a painful expression, every cell in her body was aching, and her head felt like a needle was pierced by a needle.

She suddenly remembered something. She remembered that she killed the Honkai beast with a spear, but where was that spear?

"Hune, raise your hands!"

In an instant, a bright golden light illuminated the dark woods. Bianca fell to the ground, struggled to get up, and stared at the scene in front of her in a daze.

"Boom--" The Honkai Beast smashed down hard, but it could not feel the ground, and its entire forelimb had no feeling. It lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground, its arm and shoulder were pierced and disappeared, and purple blood gushed out from the wound.

It struggled on the ground, but could no longer get up. Starting from the wound on its forelimbs, it seemed as if something had swallowed its body. Its huge body disappeared into the air bit by bit, leaving only a pool of purple blood on the ground.

"Ha, ha..." Shen Yunie's face was pale and he was breathing heavily, his body still maintaining the action of raising his hand. At that moment, the golden knight's gun appeared in his mind. Sister Leah made the same swinging motion as him, and then the gun appeared in her hand and pierced through the body of the collapsed beast with one blow.

This was the only thing he could see besides Sister Leah. The golden color was not metal, but some kind of liquid or energy. After the sharp spear tip, the spear began to grow larger, with gorgeous and beautiful patterns on it until the end extended an inch to protect the wrist, like a petal.

The whole gun looks like a flower that is about to bloom.

Shen Yunie looked at the energy body knight gun in his hand blankly, and asked puzzledly: "Sister Leah, what is this?"

"Black abyss and white flowers..." Cecilia covered her head and had not yet recovered from the pain. Her arms, legs and feet were all blue veins, dark blood was flowing rapidly, and her originally rosy cheeks were now pale.

Shen Yunie asked in surprise: "Do you remember?"

"No, I only thought of saving you at that time, and then this gun suddenly appeared." Cecilia shook her head. She looked at the spear, and her memory only stayed on the familiarity and the name. She had no memory of anything else. "It should not be a physical object, it is just something in my memory."

Shen Yunie's attention was no longer on the black abyss and white flower. It was the first time he saw Sister Leah's pale and weak face. He panicked immediately, tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, "Sister Leah, how is your body? Why is this gun like this..."

"Sister is fine." Cecilia appeared in the air and hugged the little boy. The color on her face returned a little. "Go check on Bianca. We survived!"

"Yeah." Shen Yunie walked quickly towards Bianca with the knight's spear, which was much taller than himself. Before he could take a few steps, the black abyss and white flowers suddenly disappeared. He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously called with his mind, and then the golden knight's spear appeared in his hand again.

It was probably a kind of soul body, which could be summoned when needed and disappeared when not needed. This made him feel much more relaxed, otherwise he couldn't explain why he returned to the orphanage with a gun.

"Yune..." Bianca stared at the boy walking towards her. The previous scene still made her feel incredible when she recalled it. All she could see was a ball of golden light suddenly exploded in Shen Yunie's hand, and then the hand of the Honkai beast was blown to pieces, and then the body disappeared. "What was that just now?"

"I don't know. I used it subconsciously." Shen Yunie pulled her up. The surroundings were quiet and they were indeed out of danger. "The Honkai Beast is dead. Let's leave here quickly."

Bianca walked a few steps, but the pain in her legs made it difficult for her to take another step, so she was carried on his back and walked out of the woods. The broad and comfortable back, the breath of sunshine wrapped around her whole body, the girl who had been mentally stimulated all night finally relaxed completely at this moment, lying on the back and resting quietly.

Shen Yunie walked out of the woods and walked along the road towards the welfare home. His mind was slightly empty. This world was really not as beautiful as he imagined. All kinds of monsters appeared, and after seeing them, Sister Lia could remember something. Maybe everything she said was true. Then when she recovered her memory...

"Yune, do you want to tell the dean about what happened tonight?" Bianca's voice brought him back to his senses. The girl leaned close to his ear, and a curious expression appeared on her face after her fear disappeared.

"Tell it, we can't hide it anyway." Shen Yunie said, and after a while he added, "But don't tell anyone that I killed the Honkai Beast. Just say that it was seriously injured and died when we were escaping."

"Okay." Although she didn't know why he did this, Bianca would obey him as long as he said it. "You saved me for the second time, thank you~"
