Collapse, harem after the end of the world

The two of them strolled along like this until evening.

Chapter 658: Adam, ready to save Wendy

Adam held Wendy's hand as they walked through the streets of a small Australian town, their figures gradually merging into the afterglow of the setting sun. The evening cast a soft hue over the town, as if shrouding the entire world in a warm glow.

The shops and bars lining the street were still bustling with activity, people drinking beer and enjoying a leisurely time. At the entrance of the tavern, a drunken man leaned against the wall, singing a country song at the top of his lungs. His voice, though a little hoarse, was filled with passion and wildness, seemingly enough to pluck everyone's heartstrings and set them humming.

Wendy smiled and hummed the same ballad softly. Her voice was clear and sweet, like a gentle spring raindrop that dripped gently into the heart. Wendy's singing held a captivating charm that made people stop and listen, transported to a warm and dreamy world.

Adam gazed at Wendy, his heart filled with endless tenderness. Her beauty was like the afterglow of a setting sun, warm and full of hope. Her singing was like the chirping of a bird, clear and moving. Adam couldn't help but sigh: Wendy was the most beautiful thing in his life. She made him feel the beauty of life and its infinite possibilities.

The townspeople were also attracted by this scene and approached Wendy and Adam, forming a small circle around them. Their eyes were filled with admiration and envy, as if at this moment, the world belonged only to Adam and Wendy.

When the song ended, the people in the town began to applaud. Their applause was as gentle as spring rain, falling on Wendy and Adam, bathing their hearts in warm praise.

Seeing the sweet smile on Wendy's face, Adam also smiled. His heart was filled with joy and satisfaction, because he knew that Wendy's singing had touched everyone's heart, making them feel sincere emotions and beautiful memories.

"It seems that you like it here very much." Adam couldn't help but smile, his eyes revealing his deep love for Wendy.

"Of course, after all, this was my favorite place back then." Wendy couldn't help but have a nostalgic look on her face, and her eyes were flashing with reminiscence.

Back then, she was just like now, bringing everyone singing and dancing. Back then, she was young and full of energy, and on the stage she was like a bright shooting star, attracting everyone's attention and moving them.

However, fate had a twist in her that caused her legs to be damaged and she could no longer walk. From then on, she never came here again until she destroyed the town.

Memories flooded back, and Wendy shuddered slightly. She turned her head and looked back at the town's streets, her eyes gleaming with deep guilt and regret.

Adam noticed Wendy's mood swings, gently took her hand, and said softly, "Wendy, the past is the past. Now you are an excellent Valkyrie, aren't you?"

Adam looked at Wendy and said with a smile, "Is there any other place you want to go? As long as it is where you want to go, I will accompany you."

Wendy frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation in her eyes. She paused for a moment, then said to Adam, "Yes, Captain, can you accompany me to a place?"

Adam nodded without hesitation: "Of course, no matter where you want to go, I will accompany you."

Wendy smiled slightly, took Adam's hand, and led him to a hillside behind the town. From here, the two of them could overlook the entire town.

On the hillside, green grass stretched into the distance, and the small town's houses shimmered golden in the sunlight. The people of the town were busy and full of life, like a beautiful painting unfolding before the two of them.

Wendy stopped, stood on the hillside, and looked around, her eyes revealing a deep sense of nostalgia and emotion.

Adam stood quietly beside her, watching her silently, his heart filled with understanding and warmth. He knew that Wendy had experienced many hardships and lost many things here.

Wendy slowly closed her eyes as she gazed at the beautiful scenery before her, feeling the gentle breeze caressing her face. She listened quietly to the sound of nature breathing, her heart filled with endless thoughts.

"Thank you, Captain. I really can't forget this place." Wendy said to Adam with a smile of gratitude. Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was recalling every detail of the past.

Adam nodded slightly and stared at Wendy quietly, his heart filled with warmth and understanding. He knew that this town meant a lot to Wendy, a testimony to her dreams and hopes.

"It's nothing. After all, I haven't been with you for a long time." Adam shook his head indifferently, his eyes gently sweeping across Wendy's face. He knew that Wendy had a special feeling for this place, and he just wanted to accompany her through some wonderful times.

"Actually, Captain, you are also hesitant. The purpose of bringing me here is actually to let me make that choice, right?" Wendy suddenly spoke, with a hint of profound meaning in her voice.

Adam remained silent, gazing at the distant mountains. A hint of conflict and contemplation lingered in his silent eyes. He knew that the decision Wendy was facing was extremely important to her, and as captain, he could only respect her decision and support her no matter what she chose.

"I know you want to save my past self. Think about it now. I should be like a carefree child. In fact, I don't know whether I should stop her from participating in that experiment." Wendy said softly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and confusion.

Adam turned his head, gazing at Wendy's gentle eyes, which gleamed with determination. "Wendy, you are not responsible for your past. Everyone has their own choices and paths of growth. You are now an outstanding Valkyrie, and your courage and determination will guide you on the right path. No matter what choice you make, I will always be by your side."

Wendy smiled slightly, feeling Adam's overflowing care and support, and her heart gradually calmed down. She knew that no matter what she chose, she had to believe in her decision and face the future bravely.

They stood quietly on the hillside, gazing at the distant town, as if time had frozen in that moment. A gentle breeze blew, and the sun shone on them, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

At this time, Wendy finally made up her mind and slowly said to Adam.

Hearing Wendy's words, Adam nodded slightly.

"I understand. This time, I will definitely save you."

Chapter 659: Wendy Encounter Plan

"As expected, Captain. I still don't want to lose my power. Although my power caused me immense pain for a while, it is precisely because of this power that I was able to meet you all. Now, I can accept this power calmly. So, please support me in the future."

After receiving the request from the future Wendy, Adam's mind was filled with endless thoughts. He knew that saving Wendy would not be easy, but he was determined not to give up.

Wendy, once Theresa's proud and outstanding disciple and a highly anticipated A-rank Valkyrie, was cruelly transformed by fate into a vessel for the Desire Gem, a quarter of Sirin's Herrscher's core. Paralyzed in both legs, she tragically became a prisoner of the Desire Gem.

Wendy sacrificed her life to save others, exchanging her suffering for the happiness of others. This duty as a Valkyrie subjected her to unimaginable pain. Yet, this suffering did not break her. Instead, it fueled a deep hatred within her, a hatred for the Honkai Organization that had made her a vessel for their jewel-hungry existence.

Over the course of three years, this hatred was quietly amplified by the Honkai Organization, gradually spiraling out of control. Ultimately, this sentiment erupted, devastating the Oceania branch and the surrounding area. An unprecedented, massive storm raged across Australia.

Imagine the ocean waves reaching over ten meters high, the howling wind whipping up layers of huge waves, like a dragon with its bloody mouth gaping, ready to devour everything. The sky is shrouded in darkness, with lightning and thunder, as if the heavens are issuing a warning to the people.

On the streets, houses collapsed one after another, trees were uprooted, and debris flew everywhere. People fled in panic, but there was nowhere to hide. Fear and helplessness surged in their hearts, as if the world had fallen into a doomsday nightmare.

Adam knew that he had to act in the face of this disaster. He knew that only by finding and resolving the demons deep within Wendy's heart could he stop the raging of this storm.

Now, with about a month left before the disaster, Adam realized he had to contact Wendy as soon as possible. According to her future self, the time before she participated in the experiment was his only chance. However, he needed a good reason to contact her.

Adam pondered, knowing that Wendy spent most of her time at the Oceania branch. So, he needed an excuse to enter the branch and meet with her.

"Sure enough, Wendy probably only has time to come out when she's on a mission?" Adam pondered at this time.

A few days later——

At the Oceania branch's training ground, Wendy was sweating profusely as she performed a set of complex fighting moves.

After the training, Wendy walked out of the training ground, sweating profusely, and prepared to take a rest. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears.

"Hey, Wendy, you're in good spirits today." Wendy turned around and saw a woman with brown hair. It was her senior, Nunnally. Next to her stood a woman with golden hair. It was another senior, Meris.

"Hello, Senior Nanali, Senior Meris." Wendy smiled and greeted the two.

"As expected of our ace, he's really strong. I'm afraid it won't be long before he's promoted to S-rank, right?" Nanali teased with a smile.

"No way, senior, stop joking. I just got promoted to A-level." Wendy shook her head modestly.

Meris patted Wendy's shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Don't be so modest, Wendy. Your progress has impressed us all."

Wendy smiled faintly, feeling the warmth of encouragement and recognition from her seniors. She knew she still had much room for improvement, and she hoped to bring more victories to humanity in future battles.

"By the way, Wendy, we recently received a mission that requires us to go to the southern Honkai area for reconnaissance and clearing. Would you like to join us?" Nanali suddenly asked.

"Of course!" Wendy answered without hesitation.

Wendy, Nunnally, and Meris prepared to set off. They packed their gear, boarded a specially built aircraft, and headed south for the collapsed region.

The aircraft flew through the dark clouded sky, with thunder and lightning intertwined, as if hinting at the danger ahead.

In this era, Honkai attacks haven't become very frequent, and even if Honkai beasts do appear, they are usually small-scale. However, this mission is a bit more troublesome.

According to the investigator's report, the number of Honkai beasts and death squads this time not only reached over twenty, but even traces of emperor-level Honkai beasts were seen among them.

The aircraft flew through a sky thick with dark clouds, and lightning and thunder intertwined, as if hinting at the danger ahead. Wendy stared out the window quietly, a sense of nervousness welling up in her heart.

When the three arrived at their destination, they truly realized the devastation the area had suffered from the Honkai Beasts. Within the ruins, not only were the houses shattered beyond recognition, but even a hint of life was hard to find.

A desolate wind blew by, carrying the smell of dust and making one feel suffocated. A dead silence enveloped the city, without a single sign of life. In a place like this, even if there were still people, they would probably have been killed.

"Everyone, be careful. Don't be careless," Wendy said to her two seniors. Although she was their junior, as an A-rank Valkyrie, her strength and level had reached the pinnacle, making her the natural leader of the team.

Nunnally and Meris nodded at Wendy's warning. They were both well aware of the dangers of the Honkai Zone. Here, anything could happen: attacks from Honkai beasts, sudden attacks from assassins, and even the environment itself could pose a threat.

The team advanced slowly, warily observing their surroundings. The shattered walls, broken roads, and trees burned by the raging fire all spoke of the disaster that had befallen them. This city had once been prosperous, but now it lay in ruins.

Suddenly, a low roar was heard from a distance. The three of them immediately became nervous, knowing that the Honkai Beast was about to appear.

A gigantic Honkai beast, with brown fur and a ferocious face, burst out of the ruins. It roared deafeningly, as if declaring war on the three.

"Prepare for battle!" Wendy ordered, and the three immediately prepared for battle.

Nunnally quickly drew her dual-wielded guns from her back, while Meris thrust his sword into the ground to better maintain his balance. Wendy clenched her weapons with both hands, and blue energy began to surge.

The Houkai beast lunged at them, too fast to dodge. Nunnally aimed at the beast's head and pulled the trigger repeatedly, raining bullets down upon the foe. Merlis quickly dodged and nimbly stabbed the beast's abdomen. Wendy, unleashing her unique ability, unleashed a blue energy blast, repelling the beast.

The battle unfolded in the ruins, the roars of the Honkai beasts intertwined with the sounds of their attacks. Sometimes they attacked together, sometimes they acted separately, but no matter what, they were trying their best to fight against the Honkai beasts.

Attack after attack intertwined, stirring up the dust from the ruins, creating a blurry scene. Wendy's figure sometimes appeared on the left side of the Honkai Beast, sometimes quickly moving to the right, her attacks always accurate.

Time seemed to stand still. In this brutal battle, the three of them felt their own strength and perseverance. They were not fighting for themselves, but to protect the future of mankind and to stop the ravages of Honkai.

Finally, as the Honkai Beast roared its last, Wendy quickly stepped forward, stabbing it fiercely with her weapon. A burst of blue energy erupted from the weapon, knocking the beast completely down.

The battle in the ruins was over. The three men were soaked in dust and sweat, but their eyes were full of determination.

"This is just the beginning. We still have a lot of tasks to accomplish." Wendy said, her voice full of determination.

What Wendy didn't know was that Adam was already following behind the three of them.

Chapter 660: Wendy's Crisis

The battle between the three continued, and time seemed to stand still. Every attack and dodge required their full concentration, and any negligence could cost them their lives.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Wendy gradually realized that this mission was far more complex than she had imagined. They faced far more than 20 Honkai Beasts, and more and more began to emerge. Each Honkai Beast possessed immense power and ferocious aggression, putting them under immense pressure.

From the ruins beside them, a gigantic Honkai beast pounced upon them. Its massive body seemed to emanate terrifying power.

Wendy's eyes narrowed. She knew this was a Honkai Emperor, their toughest challenge yet. They had to work together to have any hope of victory.

Nunnally gripped the gun tightly in her hand, her eyes locked on the Houkai beast's. Her finger gripped the trigger, and the bullets rained down like a rain of fire, shooting towards the Houkai beast's body. However, even though the dense bullets penetrated the Houkai beast's skin, they only left a few shallow scratches.

Seeing this, Merlis quickly weaved through the ruins, using her nimble agility to try to get around the Honkai Beast's back. The longsword in her hand flashed with a cold light, and like a streak of light, it stabbed at the Honkai Beast. However, the Honkai Beast's reaction speed far exceeded her expectations. It spun around and fiercely clawed at Merlis with its razor-sharp claws.

Meris gritted her teeth, twisting her body like a snake, cleverly avoiding the attack of the Honkai Beast. She tried to stab the Honkai Beast's abdomen again, but this time, the Honkai Beast quickly lashed out with its tail, knocking Meris away.

Seeing this, Wendy's eyes flashed with determination. She gripped her weapon tightly, and blue energy began to surge. Gathering all her strength, she charged forward, engaging the Honkai Beast in hand-to-hand combat.

The Honkai Beast roared, lunging at Wendy with immense force. Wendy transformed into a blue whirlwind, her attacks swift and accurate. She blocked the Honkai Beast's claws with her sword, then slashed at its neck.

A flash of blue light passed by, and the Honkai Beast let out a scream, blood gushing out from its neck. However, the Honkai Beast was not defeated. It swung its arms angrily and knocked Wendy away.

Wendy slammed into the rubble so hard that she felt as if her bones were about to break. However, she didn't give up. She struggled to stand up, her eyes full of determination.

Nunnally and Merlis saw this scene, and a burning fighting spirit surged in their hearts. They decided not to hide anymore, but to launch a final attack on the Honkai Beast together.

The three joined forces, descending upon the Honkai Beast like a whirlwind. Their attacks poured down like a torrential downpour, each strike laced with immense power and determination. The Honkai Beast struggled to fight back, but faced with the unity and tacit understanding of the three, it was gradually forced into a desperate situation.

Finally, when the attacks of the three people were concentrated on the Honkai Beast again, it let out a final roar and then fell powerlessly into the ruins.

Wendy and the other two lay on the ground, their chests rising and falling rapidly, their panting breaths mingling with the parched air. This mission had indeed proved difficult. They had just defeated a Honkai Emperor, and now, drenched in sweat, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Haha, now our mission should be completed, right?" Nanali said happily, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"That's right, I never thought we could actually get rid of a Honkai Emperor." Meris added excitedly, with a proud smile on his face.

Wendy also laughed at this time. The three of them were able to escape unscathed from facing such a demonic Honkai Emperor. This was indeed a victory for them.

However, just as they relaxed their guard, Wendy suddenly sensed a huge threat approaching them. She immediately became alert and looked around closely.

Suddenly, a massive Honkai beast slowly emerged from the ruins, its grayish-white body gleaming with a frightening light in the sunlight. Even larger than the Honkai Emperor, it towered before them like a mountain.

"Emperor-level?!" Wendy gasped in surprise. She didn't expect that the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, which had been hiding for a long time, would show up at this time.

Nunnally and Meris were also stunned by the huge monster in front of them. They were only B-level Valkyries and could not confront such a creature head-on.

"Hurry up! I'll stop this guy!" Wendy gritted her teeth and said to her companions with a determined look. She knew that her only choice at this moment was to fight this Emperor-level Honkai Beast with all her might to protect them.

Wendy gripped her weapon tightly, cyan energy surging through her. Her heartbeat quickened, yet she felt no fear, only endless courage and determination.

The Honkai Emperor roared, its massive body lunging towards Wendy, stirring up a gust of wind. A flicker of determination flashed in Wendy's eyes. She refused to retreat, choosing instead to confront this demonic Honkai beast.

She transformed into a cyan whirlwind, attacking the Honkai Emperor like a raging storm. Her figure streaked through the air, each strike of her sword carrying the power of destruction. She used her blade to block the Honkai Emperor's sharp claws, then slashed fiercely at its abdomen.

A cyan light instantly shone, and the Honkai Emperor let out a deafening scream, blood gushing out from its abdomen. However, the Honkai Emperor was not defeated. It waved its arms in anger and knocked Wendy away.

Wendy slammed hard against the rubble, feeling as if her bones were about to break. Lying on the ground, her breathing was rapid and forceful, each breath causing excruciating pain in her chest. Yet, she didn't give up. She struggled to her feet, her eyes filled with determination and unyielding spirit.

Nunnally and Meris saw Wendy's decision and their eyes were filled with admiration. They knew it was time to leave and they couldn't let Wendy face this demonic existence alone.

They quickly turned around and began running in the direction of evacuation. Wendy, who was behind them, didn't stop. She decided to lure the Honkai Emperor away to buy her companions more time.

The Honkai Emperor roared deafeningly and pounced towards Wendy, its massive body bringing with it a violent storm.

At this time, even Wendy began to be unable to hold on.

At this moment, Adam, who had been hiding behind, finally took action.
