People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

"Going on a trip."

"No one would believe what you said!"

Chapter 38 To save or not to save?

Anna has been having a very comfortable life lately.

She became an A-rank Valkyrie at the young age of 16, and has now lived in the scenic city of Manila for half a year.

Although as a European, Anna was not used to the humid and hot environment and the spring-like climate all year round when she first arrived, she gradually adapted to the seasons here after a period of time.

After half a year of grassroots training, Anna was successfully promoted to deputy captain of the Snow Lotus Team. The captain of the Snow Lotus Team is a veteran A-level Valkyrie. Although she is very strong, she is nearly thirty years old.

For a Valkyrie, this age can already be called old age.

Therefore, it won't be long before Anna is promoted to captain, and then improves herself in the constant fight against Honkai, eventually becoming an S-class Valkyrie and reaching the same level as her good friend Yulandel.

The living environment is comfortable, the work intensity is not high, and there is stable room for promotion. If Anna was not a naturally self-disciplined and adept student, she might have been complacent with such conditions.

However, May 5nd is also a special day for Anna.

There are six teams of Valkyrie stationed in Manila. As long as there are three teams of Valkyrie on patrol every day, this day is one of the few days of rest for the Snow Lotus Team every month.

Although for Anna, usually even when she is resting, whether it is after work or on weekends, she would most likely choose to improve herself, but this time, Anna chose to go out for a walk.

The reason is simple, because a strange "guest" seems to have appeared outside his training base recently.

She was a young girl wearing cool clothes and a wide-brimmed sun hat. Although Anna had never seen her face because she was always wearing a mask, judging from her delicate skin and well-proportioned figure, this girl was definitely in her prime.

At first, Anna thought this was just an ordinary passerby, but after observing him carefully for several times, Anna found that this person seemed to appear at very fixed times and often wandered outside her training base.

You know, in Southeast Asia, the existence of the Valkyrie of Destiny has always been semi-public, so nominally, her training base cannot be designated as a military restricted area or something like that. What's more, this is not the public property of Destiny, but a transformation of a private single-family villa under her name.

After all, the Shanyiat family is considered to be "famous" in Tianming, and Anna, as the leader among them, is naturally not short of money.

After this situation continued for a few days, Anna thought that this might be a spy from Anti-Entropy, so she asked the Manila government to check the person's entry record. It turned out that the other party was actually a painter from Europe with complete identification documents. In any way, he had nothing to do with Anti-Entropy.

There was no other way, Anna had to go in person. After questioning in the name of the villa owner, Anna found that the other party insisted that she was only here to take pictures, and the reason for her stay was just because the scenery here was beautiful, and she just wanted to accumulate more materials.

Although this painter would not affect her training, if she made too much noise and attracted the painter's attention, the confidentiality regulations would cause a lot of trouble.

So, Anna simply decided that if she couldn't afford to offend him, she could just avoid him. At worst, she wouldn't train on this rest day, because the painter would leave soon anyway.

Anna finally got a chance to relax and went to the mall to buy some dresses.

Although Tianming's uniform is very beautiful and personalized, a cute girl can't wear the same clothes every time. Therefore, Anna is still very concerned about buying new clothes.

However, today's shopping malls seem a little different.

Amid the loud music in the mall, Anna seemed to suddenly hear something different.

This sound is both familiar and unfamiliar. It is familiar because I have heard it countless times during exercises.

The reason why it was strange was that this was the first time Anna heard an alarm of this level in reality.

Along with the alarm came the roars of the Honkai beasts and the screams of the dead soldiers, as well as the tremors of collapsing houses and cracking the ground.

Although her brain hadn't reacted yet, the long-term training had made Anna subconsciously take out the communication terminal and start contacting the headquarters.

"Calling headquarters, calling headquarters, this is Anna from the Snow Lotus team, I need..."

Before Anna finished her words, the signal on the terminal was silenced by the strong Honkai energy interference, leaving only crackling sounds of electric current.

Now, Anna is facing a completely passive situation.

No weapons, no supplies, no Valkyrie armor.

There was no contact, no mission instructions, and not even any early warning of high-risk targets.

At this point, all that was left for Anna was the physical fitness of an A-level Valkyrie.

Anna picked up a steel pipe from the fence and smashed the heads of several assassins who were close to her one by one.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, outside the building, the sound of houses collapsing due to the advance of the Temple-level Honkai Beast, the screams of civilians being chased by the assassins, and the cries for help from the citizens under the ruins all came into her ears.

The sense of responsibility of the Shaniyat family and the Valkyrie of Destiny are driving Anna to quickly rescue the civilians, defeat the Honkai beast, and then lead the people to escape from here.

But the remaining rationality in her mind made her immediately reject this unrealistic idea.

Not to mention that without the Valkyrie armor, weapons and supplies, she would become Anna-chan under the iron hoof of the Honkai beast. Even if she really gathered a group of people, she might not be able to break out of the siege under the pursuit and blockade of the Honkai beast.

Reason told her that she could not care about these people at this time. She must protect herself as soon as possible, evacuate to the assembly point, and obtain her own equipment and weapons, so that she could save more people.

However, the meeting point is still a long way from here, and before reaching the meeting point, the calls for help that had been forgotten along the way were really too heavy for a sixteen-year-old girl.

Anna gritted her teeth, forced herself to ignore the cries for help, and ran quickly towards the assembly point.

"I see. This was the choice Anna faced during the Manila Collapse."

"But in the end, she still didn't make it to the meeting point. Before she got halfway, her guilt and sense of mission overwhelmed her, so she chose to rescue Chen Tianwu."

[Yes, but even if Anna finally arrived at the meeting point, it would be useless.]

[According to my observation, there are several large Honkai energy explosion points in Manila City now. One of them is in the Manila Destiny branch, and the other is near their gathering point.]

"That means even if Anna reaches the assembly point, she won't be able to get any support?"

[Yes, in fact, one of the reasons why the colleagues of the Mandate in Manila suffered heavy casualties was that they were too close to the outbreak point of the collapse.]

[They are not Herrschers, nor are they guys like Daigoose who have an absurdly high adaptability to Honkai energy. The strong radiation may make them lose their combat effectiveness immediately. ]

"I see... No wonder Anna was rewarded by fate after she chose to rescue the citizens... Regardless of the reason, this behavior is indeed decisive compared to going to the assembly point to die."

"In that case, let me help her a little more."

Chapter 39: Flame Reed: This is the healing speed of our Curse Healer

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Qian."

Anna lowered her head and ran as fast as she could, ignoring the cries for help along the way.

In fact, when it comes down to it, not that many people sent out calls for help. In order to survive the immediate outbreak of Honkai, two conditions must be met first.

One is to have enough adaptability to Honkai energy, and the other is to be in a safe enough location.

In fact, Anna running in the ruins was not enough to encourage the survivors to risk being discovered and ask for help, and the survivors who were really buried deep underground could not reach Anna's ears with their cries for help.

The girl's cries for help have always been a hurdle that she cannot overcome in her heart.

until......

“Save me…save…save me….”

In the shadows of the ruins on the street, Anna saw a little girl with gray hair.

Unlike most survivors, she showed no signs of becoming a dead person due to the erosion of Honkai energy. What was actually taking her life away were the huge rocks and broken walls pressing on her body.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and blood slowly flowed out from the cracks in the stones. As if she heard Anna's footsteps, the little girl struggled to raise her head.

"Big sister...save me..."

He had lost too much blood, had multiple abrasions and crush injuries all over his body, and his internal organs were suspected to have been injured, and there were visible fractures...

Anna's medical knowledge as an A-level Valkyrie allowed her to quickly determine the severity of the girl's injuries.

If such an injury is not treated in time... the person will die within an hour. However, in a city that has just experienced a major collapse, in an hour, not to mention whether he can find a medical center, even whether he can safely leave Manila is an unknown.

Whether to give up going to the rendezvous point, spend a lot of time rescuing the girl, and then watch her die is a question that almost anyone would answer without thinking.

But Anna hesitated, because she was in the middle of this problem. The girl's hand stretched out to her and her hoarse cry for help were like a flood or a beast, making Anna tremble a little.

She knew that her step out of the ruins was tantamount to a death sentence for the girl.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Anna lowered her eyes, uttered an inarticulate apology, and tried her best to leave.

"Hey, are you going to save him or not? If not, make room for me."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind Anna.

"What...what?!" The sudden voice startled Anna, and she jumped away reflexively.

Along with the voice came a figure with long golden hair.

"You are... the painter!" Anna instantly understood why the voice sounded familiar to her. Not long ago, she had questioned her about the purpose of approaching the training base.

However, compared to the last time they met, there were obviously more things on the painter's body this time, such as the long dragon horns on his head and the flaming tail swaying behind him.

You are really not an ordinary person! Yan Wei thought Anna would say this, but what Anna blurted out was completely different from this.

"You, you said you can save her? Please, save her quickly, she has lost so much blood that she won't be able to hold out for much longer!"

"Tsk, you really are worthy of being the Valkyrie of the Shaniyat family..."

Shaking his head helplessly, Yan Wei walked over Anna and held the girl's hand.

"Don't be afraid. Close your eyes and have a good sleep. When you wake up, your injuries will be healed."

Following Yan Wei's gentle voice, Chen Tianwen slowly closed her eyes. The dizziness from blood loss and the comfortable feeling of having her pain healed almost made her fall asleep instantly.

"Hey, Anna, give her a hand and slowly move the stone that's pressing on her."

Seeing that his ability had begun to take effect and the wounds on the outside of Chen Tianwen's body had almost healed, Yan Wei called out to Anna behind him.

"Hurry up, I'm not calling you, or was the name you said at that time a fake one?"

"Ah, okay, okay."

Anna woke up as if from a dream, ran over quickly, and moved the stones and broken walls off Chen Tianwen one by one.

Then, in Anna's shocked eyes, wisps of golden flames appeared on Chen Tianwen's bloody wounds. At the same time, these wounds were recovering rapidly as if time was turning back.

"Wow, so magical... Just like the black abyss and white flowers..."

As his injuries were roughly healed, Yan Wei picked up Chen Tianwen and prepared to leave.

"Wait, wait...are you leaving?"

"What? You want to keep me for dinner instead of leaving?" Yan Wei turned around and chuckled.

"Valkyrie of Destiny, we are not on the same path. If you want to keep me, you don't have the ability to do so. The reason why I didn't attack you is simply because saving people is more important now."

"No, that's not it... I meant to say thank you..."

"..."

"Ah, there's really nothing I can do with you idiots."

Yanwei sighed pretentiously and threw a map to Anna.

"I remember that you guys should have a headquarters and a gathering point for unexpected situations here. You probably want to go there."

"Don't waste your energy. Take a look at this map. This is the location of several Honkai energy explosion points I recorded along the way."

"Unfortunately, your headquarters and rendezvous point are both among them."

"How...how could this happen?" The moment Anna picked up the map, her body felt like being hit by a heavy hammer and she almost lost her balance.

"So, don't think about gathering and support. You don't have any support anymore."

"If you still want to fulfill your duties as a Valkyrie, I have a suggestion for you."

"There is a police station in the direction of your gathering point. Go there to get some weapons and rescue as many survivors as possible. Then, lead them to break out of the city."

"As long as you can outrun the speed at which Houkai energy spreads, there's a high chance that you can rescue them."

"I see. Thank you for the news..." Anna forced herself to look at the child in Yan Wei's arms: "Where are you going next? This child..."

"She's not out of danger yet. I have to take her to treatment as soon as possible."

Yan Wei seemed to see Anna's worry and interrupted her directly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to her, but my treatment is not without cost."

"Unlike Heiyuan Baihua, my treatment is to squeeze out the potential and energy of her body, stimulate metabolism, and let her recover in a nearly self-healing way. Treating injuries of this degree will almost drain her body."

"Because I can't inject Houkai energy directly into her, I have to use conventional methods to replenish her energy. Therefore, I have to send her to the rear first, otherwise when she wakes up, she will only die in even more pain."

"Thank you..." Anna couldn't remember how many times she had said thank you today: "What's your name? When there's a chance in the future, I..."

"Then we can talk about it later when we have the chance. As for the name... forget it, you shouldn't know it so clearly."

"My code name is Reed. I hope we can get along well next time we meet."
