I already said this is not a life simulator!

Xiwang felt his sleeves being tugged twice.

Turning back, he could see Skadi looking at him with a pitiful expression.

"Of course, blood relatives are also included."

"Ok!"

Skadi nodded happily.

Then he stretched out his hand slightly, revealing his arm which still had wounds, and spoke to Xi Wang in a somewhat aggrieved voice.

"Blood relatives, it hurts..."

Ah...Xi Wang actually knew this.

In order to "perform" for others, Xiwang and Elini had left a lot of scars on the giant Honkai creature, and those scars were more or less reflected on "Skadi"...

Of course, the wound was very minor, just like a person's finger being cut by a piece of paper, and it could be easily recovered. This was even more so for Skadi who was in the rain and the ocean.

I just don’t know why Skadi didn’t recover from her wounds this time... But it doesn’t matter. Just think of it as Skadi being unhappy, or wanting to do something else. Xiwang doesn’t care about those.

"It doesn't hurt."

Xi Wang gently took her hand and licked the delicate wound on her forearm with his tongue. The tip of his tongue was filled with the unique salty taste of sea water.

Along with a slightly moist and warm feeling, as well as a gentle breeze or a trickle of water flowing by, the thin wound on Skadi's forearm healed quietly and disappeared...

"It won't hurt if you lick it a little."

Xi Wang said half-jokingly.

I just used a little bit of strength to help Skadi recover. She could do it herself, so there's nothing to be surprised about.

"........."

But Skadi blinked her scarlet eyes, and a hint of thought flashed in her pupils.

And then...she lifted her sleeves a little, revealing the wound on her arm.

“‘Blood relatives’…”

Skadi looked at Xiwang, blinked, and there was a hint of expectation and pleading in her words.

"........."

The corner of Xi Wang's mouth twitched subconsciously, but facing such a request from a "blood relative"...it seemed difficult for him to refuse.

After all, they are blood relatives.

Therefore, Xi Wang took her hand and pulled her a little closer, then held her arm and licked the wound on her arm again in the same way, helping her heal this minor injury which was nothing to both her and him.

I don’t know if it was Xiwang’s illusion, but after discovering that Xiwang did not reject this request, Skadi’s eyes seemed to become brighter and brighter...

Then, just as Xiwang stood up again and put her hand down...Skadi spoke softly.

"Blood relatives, and... there are also some here..."

She moved her hands to the hem of her bright red skirt and lifted it up a little... and then Xi Wang held her hands down.

"this is not OK."

"……Why?"

Skadi raised her head innocently, blinked her clear eyes, and asked doubtfully.

"…No means no."

"Oh……"

Skadi lowered her skirt obediently, with a hint of loss in her tone.

Chapter 5470 When Xi Wang "left"... ()

[You sacrificed yourself——Now, everyone in the Fire Moth has basically reached this consensus]

[After the Herrscher Core was discovered and retrieved, this statement can be basically concluded... Under the attack of two Herrschers and the disaster of the "heavy rain", you still stood up to resist]

[On the one hand, the weaker fusion warrior, Elini, was forcibly kicked out of the battlefield, so that "Fire Moth" would not lose two high-end fighters at once. At the same time, the only living person was left for "Fire Moth" to collect evidence.]

[On the other hand, you resolutely launched a counterattack in such a difficult and even desperate situation, successfully killing a Herrscher, and also found a way to keep the Herrscher Core for the Fire Moth to find... You have done well enough.]

[Of course, more importantly, this statement... is hard to refute. Apart from the fact that we couldn't find the bodies of you and the other people, there isn't really any big problem.]

[But considering that it was Honkai that came, and the seawater also destroyed the ground where the base was located, it is normal that your bodies cannot be found...]

[At this point, you, all of you, except Elini, have been judged by the "Fire Moth" to be——sacrificed]

[This news was told to everyone who was familiar with you... Let's not talk about people like Velvet, Mobius, Eden, and Sakura for now. More importantly... "Fire Moth" found Father Enrique and told him the news.]

[At this time, Father Enrique was following the instructions of the church, cooperating with the "Fire Moth" to publicize the disaster of Honkai, and trying his best to tell others how to save themselves when Honkai arrives... Hearing such sad news suddenly made him a little stunned for a moment]

[After that, there was sadness... But besides the sadness, people seemed to see some... doubt in Father Enrique's eyes? ]

[It's like wondering why you sacrificed yourself and why you died]

[Or maybe you are wondering, since you have already sacrificed and died, then why... all this still exists, everything in the world still exists? ]

[However, Father Enrique did not voice these doubts. He just nodded slightly with sadness and watched the people of "Fire Moth" leave.]

[Afterwards, for you, your tombstone has been carved, and the funeral has been hurriedly held... everything has been settled.]

[Hua... The girl who was just thrown into the position of captain of the fifth team by Himiko, looked at the tombstone with your and Himiko's names engraved on it at the funeral, and fell into shock and confusion for a long time.]

[Finally, it was her teammates who gently patted her on the shoulder and reminded her in a very quiet voice, which brought her back to her senses...]

[Honestly, her mental state is very worrying. The team members even asked her if she needed to apply for leave. Otherwise, going to the battlefield in this mental state...I'm afraid it won't be a good idea.]

[However, in the end, Hua was silent for a long time and said that she would give her some time, she... wanted to think about it.]

[Afterwards, someone saw Hua standing in front of Himiko's tombstone for a very long time. It was not until the evening of that day that she returned to the base of the "Fire Moth" and, after a short rest, took the initiative to accept the garrison mission.]

[Even when others were concerned about her condition, she just shook her head slightly and said, "We must race against time at this moment. The collapse will not allow us to be sad, nor will it allow us to breathe..."]

[“My father and my best friend died because of the Honkai… Now, even the person who saved me has died… But this is not a reason for me to stop and rest.”]

[“I am now the captain, a fusion warrior, and one of the most powerful warriors in the Fire Moth. I must… shoulder my share of responsibilities.”]

[“Compared to resting, I would rather return to the defense line and guard that sea to prevent similar things from happening again, even... happening to those who have no ability to resist.”]

[“Protect humanity and fight the Honkai”, this is what we should do, and it is what we must continue to do” - she said this]

[Suddenly, she seemed to have matured a lot, and her command in subsequent battles also improved rapidly... It seemed that this blow did not break her down, but instead strengthened her faith and gave her a reason to continue.]

[She is in a similar situation to Elini, and her actions are even more extreme than hers... After the news of your sacrifice was confirmed, she began to train frantically. The amount of training was somewhat "extreme" even for a fusion warrior, and many people began to worry about her physical and mental health.]

[In the end, it was only after her parents persuaded her to come back... However, she firmly refused the psychological treatment arranged by "Fire Moth"]

[“I know what I am doing, and I know what I should do” - Elini said this, while raising the “lantern” in her hand to signal to everyone]

[Inside the "lantern", the bright "light" was burning steadily, without any fluctuations or swaying... In other words, her mind was very stable]

[After that, she received new equipment from Weierwei, and then she took the initiative to apply to "Fire Moth" to continue the original order, become the new team leader, and plan to go to the coastal area to station defense]

[After thinking about it for a while, "Fire-Chasing Moth" finally agreed... After all, Elini is also a fusion warrior, and such a powerful force cannot be used.]

[After that, it was time to deal with some trivial matters... For example, although you were gone, Velvet and Mobius knew very well what their responsibilities were, so after being obviously sad for a few days, they returned to their previous state.]

[But there are still some differences... For example, the people in the engineering department found that Wei Liwei, who was always cheerful and lively, and even a little funny, would suddenly become quiet at certain times, as if she was missing someone... Whenever this happened, they would choose to leave quietly, temporarily giving Wei Liwei some time to adjust her mood.]

[For example, Padofelice found that when Mebius was working in the laboratory, he always acted listless and often forgot to eat... although you handed over most of the work to Klein before you left.]

[But unfortunately, Klein doesn't have your "master" level of time management, so the heavy workload has kept Klein busy.]

[However... even in this situation, Klein has been fulfilling his duties, temporarily taking your place, and has been working hard to take care of Mebius' daily life... Although he can't compare to you, he can still take care of it.]

[And Danzhu and Cangxuan don’t have much energy to play around now. Without someone who can back them up, they must put their minds to work and start working hard...]

[Of course, more importantly, they are worried that some unintentional action during play will remind Mebius of you... This has happened once before, and at that time, Mebius's silence made them somewhat at a loss, and they don't want this to happen a second time...]

[As for Padufils herself... to be honest, she is still a little sad. After all, her "big brother" in "Fire Moth" is gone. This is also the first time she has experienced the catastrophic nature of Honkai... But it has nothing to do with her for the time being. She just needs to live a good life and live peacefully.]

[She must maintain this stable life you brought her]

[As for the situation of Eden and Sakura... it was discovered by Alicia, but their behavior was no different from that of ordinary people. They were just sad and heartbroken, and occasionally showed signs of missing someone for a short while, but there was nothing else going on...]

[However, out of concern, Alicia still tried to cheer them up, often contacting them and chatting with them... After a while, the three of them became friends.]

[Hmm... that's not right. Or maybe Alicia has the same reaction to everyone who is saddened by this incident. She often appears in the Engineering Department or Mobius's laboratory. It's obvious that she cares about them.]

[It’s just that Velvet and Mebius don’t really need this kind of care… They know exactly what they should do.]

[However, there are exceptions...]

[Among the many people related to you, there are still some who behave a little "strangely"]

[For example, Gresh and Aponia]

[Others can understand Grayshu's behavior. After all, she is a child. It is normal for her to not understand what "sacrifice" and "death" are... But I don't know why, every time this matter is mentioned, Grayshu always firmly says that she will meet you again.]

[“Brother Xiwang is always here”——Grayxiu always says this, leaving others confused]

[And Aponia... this nun who always obeys you for some reason, her behavior is even stranger.]

[After learning about your sacrifice, she paused briefly and then... laughed]

[Yes, that’s right, he just smiled very gently, as if he knew something, or saw something very happy.]

[But even when other people asked about this, Aponya's response was so mysterious that it was hard to tell what she was trying to say.]

[However, after saying so much, there are still some things that cannot be changed... You, you all, have already left, you have already sacrificed]

[But even so, the "Fire Moth" still needs to move forward and continue on its own path]

[Since we know that what's in the sea is a huge threat, we should focus our defense on the coastal areas.]

[It just so happens that the Honkai beasts that crawled out of the sea are getting stronger and stronger, and their numbers are increasing. In the past, each Honkai beast tide would last for two or three hours at most, but now each Honkai beast tide will last for at least half a day... Those seemingly endless Honkai beasts are really scary.]

[But fortunately, although the Honkai Beasts that have climbed up are getting stronger and stronger, they still cannot change their most fundamental problem - they were too weak in their original form. Simply put, their basic values ​​are too low. Even though they have grown a lot now, facing the "Fire Moth" that already has a fusion warrior, these values ​​are still not enough.]

[The only problem is that there are so many of them, like the sea, that they seem to be endless... It's really terrifying. For half a day, twelve hours, there is no interruption of the Honkai Impact 3rd tide! And that's at least!]

[All soldiers must stay alert the whole time to maintain the defense line. Almost every time a defensive battle is over, the soldiers stationed have to be replaced... What's even more terrifying is that these strange Honkai beasts seem to be invincible. They will come again after a short while and crawl out of the sea again, making the "Fire-Chasing Moth" feel uneasy.]

[Also, "Fire-Chasing Moth" noticed a problem... These strange blue and white Honkai beasts seem to have developed a characteristic - they will eat the remains of their companions, or take them away when they retreat...]

[Even worse, if a huge wave hits, the remains of the Honkai beasts left on the coast will be swept back into the sea without a single one left.]

[After repeated observations, the Fire-Chasing Moth discovered a variety of different situations... First, after they ate the remains of their companions, the individual would become significantly stronger, and this process was even "instant"]

[That is to say, as long as they take a bite, they will become stronger, without having to go through the "digestion" process at all. They are as smooth as two drops of water meeting and blending into each other... However, considering that they are Honkai beasts, and the essence of Honkai beasts is Honkai energy, this situation does not seem unacceptable.]

[The second thing is... they would take away the remains of their companions when they retreated... How should I put it? It gave me a sense of "fear", as if they had some kind of "intelligence"...]

[However, it is still difficult to infer now. After all, this type of Honkai Beast is obviously different from the Honkai Beast with white and purple as the main colors, making "Fire-Chasing Moth" unsure whether this is a habit of theirs that suddenly appeared, or whether they have "intelligence" and are doing this to cherish and recycle the "corpses" of their companions.]

[Finally, there are the anomalies of the ocean... At certain times, the ocean will suddenly raise huge waves, forcing the warriors of the "Fire Moth" to retreat, and will also carry away the remains of the Honkai beasts from the coast, making the work of the "Fire Moth" to collect samples extremely difficult.]

[It was as if the ocean was attached to these Honkai beasts, felt sorry for them, and would not allow them to take them away at will]

[This is somewhat frustrating, but the Fire Moth doesn't have any good solution... After all, according to Alysia's report, the ocean is not accessible to everyone nowadays. If you are not careful, you will be sucked into the deep sea and will never be able to come back.]

[After that, some things happened one after another... For example, a new group of people led by Kevin completed the fusion warrior surgery and joined the coastal defense line;]

[For example, the Honkai beasts in the sea are getting stronger and stronger. Although their attack methods are still very random, relying solely on their huge numbers, as the basic stats of each individual are getting higher and higher, it is becoming more and more difficult for the "Fire Chaser" to deal with them...]

[And the original coast has changed from a relatively stable "defense line" to a "front line" that needs to be fought back and forth]

[But fortunately, as long as the situation like before where the coastal land is not directly shattered and completely occupied by the sea water does not occur, the "Fire Moth" will be able to take it back... This can barely be considered good news that is not good news.]

[In addition, there is also the outstanding performance of the fusion warriors... Kevin is as outrageous as ever. Although he is still a "junior" among the fusion warriors, his combat power has surpassed others and he has almost jumped to the "first place"]

[Even without the original "Subject One" training, he quickly mastered his own strength through just a few actual combats and achieved excellent results several times]

[It is said that when he was stationed there, he single-handedly resisted the Honkai beast tide for a full eight hours. According to those who were fortunate enough to witness that scene, "Kevin almost froze the entire ocean. As far as I could see, there was nothing but ice and snow."]

[The only thing people complain about is the side effects on Kevin...]

[The uncontrollable low temperature is really too cold, and we are at the seaside. This damp and cold environment is really frustrating... Especially with the sea breeze blowing, the impact of this low temperature is even greater]

[The only good news is that the low temperature Kevin emits is still within an acceptable range (mainly uncomfortable), and it does not affect other people touching Kevin. It’s just that Kevin’s extremely low body temperature, which feels like a dead person, will make people shiver subconsciously at the first contact.]

[However... according to Kevin's recent report, he seems to always feel that there is a voice in his head...]

[At first he thought it was Aponia contacting him. After all, Aponia's ability was too special, and she could indeed do this. But after repeated confirmation... Kevin discovered that this vague "auditory hallucination" seemed to come from the sea.]

[It was as if... there was something or someone in the deep sea "calling" him.]
