Collapse, harem after the end of the world

Chapter 661: Saving Private Wendy

At this moment, the Emperor-level Honkai Beast's massive body crushed Wendy like a mountain. A flicker of despair flashed in Wendy's eyes. She felt like a small boat swallowed by endless darkness, threatened to be submerged by the waves at any moment.

However, just as Wendy was about to be severely injured by the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, Adam, who had been following her, finally took action. His figure suddenly became swift, like a flash of lightning piercing the night sky, and he rushed towards the Honkai Beast's attack.

Adam's hands tightly grasped a massive sword, its blade radiating a cold light. He swung it with precise swordsmanship, the blade's edge clashing fiercely with the Honkai Beast's claws, producing a sharp metallic clang.

In an instant, Adam rescued Wendy like a brave guardian. He supported Wendy with one hand to help her steady herself, and with the other hand, he gripped the hilt of his sword, his fighting spirit dignified.

Wendy stared at Adam's face in disbelief, marveling at his swiftness. Adam's face held a resolute and fearless expression, which gave Wendy an inexplicable sense of security.

"You are..." Wendy stammered, unable to believe what she was seeing. Why would this man, whom she had only met once, appear here and take such a risk for her?

"Are you okay? Can you move?" Adam looked at Wendy and asked, his eyes revealing worry and concern.

"Thank you, thank you, sir. How did you end up here?" Wendy looked at Adam gratefully, a look of disbelief on her face. She didn't understand why this strange man would stand up and defend her from the Honkai Beast's attack.

Adam's expression was a bit awkward when Wendy asked him this. He felt a bit embarrassed to tell the truth: he had been following her so he could get close to her. He had never imagined that there would be an Emperor-level Honkai Beast here.

"I came here to investigate because I discovered a reaction of Honkai energy nearby. I didn't expect to meet you here." Adam made up an excuse and said to Wendy.

Wendy was somewhat puzzled by Adam's explanation, but she didn't delve into it further. At the moment, she was more concerned with the crisis before her. The Emperor-class Honkai Beast's ferocious attack continued unabated. It roared deafeningly and pounced viciously upon the two.

Adam gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes revealing a firm determination. He knew that only by defeating this Emperor-level Honkai Beast could he protect Wendy.

The sword edge and the sharp claws of the Honkai Beast collided violently again, making a harsh metal collision sound.

Facing the might of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Adam's expression showed a hint of annoyance. He didn't think this Honkai Beast could be his opponent, but his annoyance didn't come from the threat of the Honkai Beast, but from the uneasiness deep within his heart.

"You're such a wretch, and you still want to fight me?" Adam scoffed contemptuously. He held the Trial of Divine Fire in his hand, and a raging flame erupted, distorting the surrounding air. The flames swirled in his hands, emitting a blazing glow.

The Emperor-level Honkai Beast sensed the powerful aura emanating from Adam and began to feel fear. It swung its claws even more fiercely, intending to kill Adam on the spot.

With a simple wave of his hand, Adam completely incinerated the Emperor-level Honkai beast. The blazing flames devoured the Honkai beast's body, reducing it to ash. A wave of intense residual heat blew in his face, distorting the surrounding air.

Seeing Adam easily dispatch an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, Wendy's mouth dropped open. She stared at Adam in disbelief. Even an S-rank Valkyrie would have to expend immense effort against an Emperor-level Honkai Beast.

However, the powerful emperor-level Honkai beast was easily dealt with like a small piece of trash in Adam's hands.

However, what Wendy didn't know was that in the future, Emperor-level Honkai beasts would be nothing more than stronger trash in Adam's eyes. Even Judgment-level Honkai beasts would be just slightly stronger trash.

Looking at the completely destroyed Honkai beast, Adam slowly exhaled. He felt something was amiss here. Logically, with the current concentration of Honkai energy, Australia shouldn't be able to produce an Emperor-level Honkai beast. He frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

"Are you okay?" Adam calmed down and asked Wendy, who was standing beside him. He noticed that she was a little uncomfortable, obviously injured.

"I, I'm fine." Wendy wanted to stand up despite the pain in her body, but as soon as she moved her body, she fell down because of the sharp pain in her bones.

At the moment when Wendy was about to fall, Adam suddenly picked her up with a princess hug. Wendy felt her body weight being easily supported, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"Since you're injured, don't force yourself." Adam said helplessly. He was worried about Wendy's injury. He knew that now was not the time to hesitate and let her act on her own.

Adam stepped lightly on the ground and carried Wendy on his back. He felt her body heat and her subtle trembling. He couldn't help but frown, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

Wendy leaned on Adam's back, feeling his strong chest and firm spine. At this moment, Wendy's face turned red.

Wendy has never been so close to a man in the past ten years.

Adam steadied himself and carefully led Wendy away from the battlefield. He scanned the surroundings, vigilantly observing every subtle movement. He knew there might be other Honkai beasts in the area, and he could face even more dangerous challenges at any time.

After dealing with the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, the concentration of Honkai energy in the surrounding area had decreased significantly, but the danger here had not decreased at all. Adam knew that if they continued to stay in this place, ordinary people would easily become new dead soldiers.

"Your companion should be over there. I'll take you there," Adam said, turning to Wendy. His voice was gentle yet firm, giving Wendy an inexplicable sense of security.

Wendy's face turned even redder when she heard Adam's words. She lay on Adam's back and whispered, "Thank you for your help."

Adam smiled softly, feeling the warmth of Wendy's body. He felt that Wendy at this moment was both fragile and strong, which gave him an urge to protect her.

Adam stepped carefully on the ground, and Wendy followed his movements, pressing her body against his back, feeling his body temperature. Wendy closed her eyes, she could feel Adam's strength and sense of security, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

The surrounding scenery passed by quickly behind them, and the wind blew on their cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. Adam remained alert and steady his pace to prevent Wendy from feeling the bumps.

And soon, the two saw where Wendy's spaceship was.

Chapter 662: Wendy in the Hospital

When Wendy slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in the Oceania branch's hospital. The ward was filled with the fresh scent of disinfectant, and the white walls reflected a cold light, creating a sense of oppression. She tried to sit up, but was overcome by a wave of excruciating pain. Her bones felt as if they were shattered, and the pain spread throughout her body.

"It still hurts," she whispered to herself. Even though she'd been here for several days, her injuries were still severe. Doctor Ju told her her bones were practically shattered, and she'd need a long period of recovery and repair. Wendy took a deep breath, enduring the pain and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Just then, the door to the ward was gently pushed open. Nunnally and Meris walked in, carrying some gifts. Their arrival instantly filled the ward with a warm and caring atmosphere.

"Wendy, you're awake. I thought you were going to sleep a little longer." Nunnally said softly, worry and concern in her eyes.

Wendy smiled slightly and looked at Nunnally and Merlis with gratitude. She knew that she could not survive without their help and support.

"No, it's okay, Senior Nunnally, Senior Meris, I'm feeling better now." Wendy said with all her might. Although her voice was weak, it was full of determination and courage.

Nunnally and Meris looked at Wendy with encouragement in their eyes. They knew that Wendy was a strong girl who would never give up easily.

Seeing Wendy's recovery, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling immensely relieved for her. They only wished Wendy wouldn't push herself and that she would recover quickly. However, at this moment, a question suddenly struck their minds.

"By the way, the reason you were able to return to us is actually thanks to that mysterious savior. Who is that person?" Nunnally's curiosity was like a blazing flame, and her eyes radiated dazzling light.

During a fierce battle with an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, the two thought Wendy was doomed. However, a man named Adam single-handedly saved Wendy from the brink of death.

"Could it be a boyfriend or something?" The two of them couldn't help but smirk at this moment.

Wendy blushed at the question and lowered her head shyly, not daring to look Nunnally and Meris in the eye.

"No, no, this is not the case. This is the second time I've seen that person. To be honest, he just happened to meet me and saved me." Wendy replied stutteringly.

Nunnally and Meris looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Is that really the case?" Nunnally said with a teasing smile. She looked at Wendy's reaction and added, "Come to think of it, that guy looks quite handsome, and not that old either."

Meris also smiled and continued, "Yes, although he seems a bit cold, he is extremely powerful."

Wendy couldn't help but blush again. She bit her lip shyly, not knowing how to answer. She was indeed attracted to the mysterious man, not only by his handsome appearance, but also by the fact that he extended a helping hand without hesitation at the critical moment and saved her from the brink of death.

"Well, he, he is indeed very capable, but we are not familiar enough to call him boyfriend." Wendy muttered softly, but her voice revealed a hint of secret joy.

Nunnally and Meris looked at Wendy with their eyes sparkling. They could feel Wendy's joy and happiness, and they also understood her gratitude towards the mysterious man.

At this moment, Wendy was thinking that after her injury healed, she must thank Adam properly.

After the two left, Adam entered the ward alone. The moment the door closed, the room was filled with the faint scent of medicine. Light streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the white bed like a ray of soft sunlight. Wendy's blush hadn't yet completely faded, and she looked delicate and pure.

"A-Mr. Adam?!" Wendy looked at Adam's appearance, her voice trembling, as if she couldn't even speak clearly. Her eyes flickered with tenderness, like ripples on the water caused by a breeze.

"Oh, it seems you're getting better quickly." Adam smiled calmly, his expression remaining calm. His eyes fell on Wendy's face, as if exploring her unspoken story.

Adam was originally a little worried about Wendy's injury, but when he saw that Wendy looked so energetic, Adam was completely relieved.

He stood at the door of the ward, watching Wendy sitting on the bed. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a gentle glow on her face, making her look even more beautiful. A hint of relief shone through Adam's eyes. He understood the difficult battle Wendy had endured, yet she remained strong and brave.

"Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated you on defeating the Emperor-class Honkai Beast yet. Even S-class Valkyries rarely accomplish such a feat. It seems no one will look down on you anymore." Adam smiled as he approached Wendy, his expression full of pride and admiration.

Wendy smiled slightly, looking at Adam with gratitude. "But I didn't do anything. It was you, Mr. Adam, who defeated the Emperor-level Honkai Beast."

Adam shook his head gently, his eyes gazing at Wendy tenderly: "I don't care about those things anyway, so don't take them to heart."

After saying this, Adam walked to the window and looked out at the city view. On the busy streets, people hurried past, cars shuttled through, forming a bustling scene. However, Adam's eyes passed through all of this, looking into the distance.

Wendy watched Adam's back quietly. She knew Adam was an enigmatic figure, his identity and past shrouded in mystery. Although her understanding of him was limited, she could sense the powerful strength and profound wisdom emanating from him.

"Mr. Adam, I am very grateful for your rescue and concern for me. If it weren't for you, I would probably have died in this world long ago." Wendy said softly, her voice full of gratitude.

Adam turned around, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting. "Wendy, you don't have to be so polite. I only did my little bit. Your courage and persistence are what matter most."

He walked back to Wendy and gently held her hand. The warm touch conveyed endless care. Wendy felt Adam's warmth, her heartbeat quickened, and a shy blush appeared on her face.

"Mr. Adam, I..." Wendy hesitated, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She felt safe and secure next to Adam. She wanted to tell him how she felt, but she didn't know how to start.

"Okay, okay, let's save the thanks for next time. I just came to visit you." Adam said at this time.

After chatting with Wendy for a while, Adam followed her out.

"The goal of the first stage has finally been achieved. Next, I will continue to contact Wendy." Adam thought.

Chapter 663: Otto's Attention

"It seems that you, Captain, are getting along very well with my past self." Wendy from the future looked at Adam gently, with a hint of mischief in her eyes.

Adam turned his head away embarrassedly, a smile on his face, "Don't make a fuss, isn't this all to save you?"

"Hehe, thank you very much, Captain." Wendy giggled, her laughter was light and cheerful.

Wendy understood that Adam was not really willing to do this, but in order to save her past self, he had to force himself to contact his past self. She found that deep down in Adam's heart, he was actually a very gentle person.

"We have only completed the first step of the plan. So we have to continue contact next." Adam shook his head.

At this moment, the room of the past Wendy was filled with a light floral scent, as if she had entered a warm and fragrant garden. She stared at herself in the mirror, her slender fingers constantly turning over every piece of clothing in the closet, but she could never satisfy her inner desire.

Since her release from the hospital, Wendy has undergone a long and arduous recovery, and now she has finally regained her former beauty and health. Adam has been with her through this long period, and now, to celebrate her recovery, the two have agreed to spend some quality time together this coming weekend.

Wendy was overwhelmed with happiness and anticipation, yet the sheer number of outfits before her vexed her. She longed to look her most beautiful on this special day, but each piece seemed unable to fully capture the joy she felt deep within her heart. She obsessing over every detail, every fold, every color, as if the puzzle pieces alone weren't enough to capture the light within her.

At this moment, Wendy was like an artist meticulously crafting perfection, constantly adjusting every element, every clue, striving to push her look to its limits. Her eyes scanned every detail in the mirror, as if she were conjuring a mysterious magic that would make every inch of her skin radiate a beautiful glow.

Yet, time slipped by, and Wendy remained entangled in her wardrobe. She couldn't help but recall her childhood, when her father would accompany her on strolls through a sea of flowers, petals gently falling, as chaotic and troubled as her own thoughts. Wendy knew that only by finding the perfect piece of clothing could she exude her most captivating charm in front of Adam.

"No, no, this kind of clothes really isn't okay."

Wendy sat in front of her closet, anxiously tossing her clothes aside one by one until they piled up into a small mountain. Her brow furrowed, a look of frustration on her face. As the appointed time approached, Wendy felt her heartbeat quicken, anxiety igniting a raging fire within her.

The passage of time seemed to be her greatest enemy, each minute and every second like a hammer hammering down on her heart, leaving her unable to find peace. She paced back and forth, searching endlessly, but could not find a single piece of clothing that satisfied her. The pile of clothes became a source of disappointment and frustration, making her increasingly anxious.

Finally, Wendy reluctantly turned her gaze to a cyan dress. The color of the dress resembled clear lake water, exuding a sense of tranquility and calmness. Holding onto a last shred of hope, Wendy put it on. It felt as if a miraculous power spread throughout her body, making her feel a surge of confidence and determination from deep within.

Perhaps this was fate. Wendy couldn't help but smile in the mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror. The cyan dress seemed tailor-made for her, perfectly highlighting her elegance and youth. She looked at herself with a calm and confident look in her eyes, as if telling herself that she had made the right choice.

Finally, Wendy decided to appear in this cyan outfit. She took a firm step, confidence and courage surging in her heart, ready to meet the upcoming appointment.

On the other side, Otto, who was far away at the headquarters of Savior, was looking at the information handed to him by his subordinates with great interest.

His brow furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion and surprise in his eyes. A Valkyrie who had just reached A-rank could actually easily defeat an Emperor-rank Honkai Beast? Such a victory was truly unbelievable, and it piqued his curiosity.

In response to Otto's inquiry, Amber, acting as Otto's secretary, answered truthfully, "Yes, that's exactly what the Atlantic branch reported. They describe this Valkyrie as exceptionally powerful, possessing not only exceptional combat skills but also extraordinary courage and determination."

Otto pondered for a moment after hearing this. A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He really wanted to see this talented and up-and-coming Valkyrie in person.

Seeing Wendy was only 13 or 4 years old, Otto's brow furrowed, and he became even more concerned about the hidden truth behind this matter. An Emperor-level Honkai beast was already considered extremely powerful among the many Honkai beasts. A young girl who had just reached A-level should be unable to defeat it no matter what.

However, when he saw Wendy, Otto remembered that she seemed to be one of the candidates for his experiment. He remembered that a few months ago, he had received a special report that described in detail the special talents of a group of young girls, and Wendy was one of them.

These girls all went through a rigorous selection process, and only the best would stand out. Otto single-handedly chose Wendy, marking her name as a candidate. At the time, Otto felt she was too young and not strong enough for the task, so he didn't pay her much attention.

However, now, Wendy's strength has far exceeded his expectations. Otto is confused by this situation and begins to think about what happened to Wendy that made her strength improve so dramatically.

He carefully recalled the past experimental records, trying to find a clue. Wendy's name stood out from a list of candidates, which in itself meant that she had unique qualities. Perhaps she possessed some special talent that allowed her to unleash even greater power in battle.

"Amber, go get ready. It looks like we have to start implementing our plan early."

Hearing that Otto was planning ahead of time, Amber's expressionless face showed a hint of surprise, but she quickly concealed it.

"I understand, Your Excellency the Bishop." After Amber finished speaking, she immediately went down to prepare.

"No matter what the reason is, in the end, I still have to destroy another outstanding little guy with my own hands." Otto muttered to himself at this time.

Chapter 664: An unexpected event during a date

In this small town, Adam arrived early and waited for a long time. By noon, Wendy, finally arriving, appeared. She was wearing a cyan dress and panting as she looked at Adam. He was filled with a mixture of laughter and tears as he looked at Wendy's disheveled appearance. The girl had even messed up her hair just to get here.

"Sorry, I'm not late, am I?" Wendy asked sheepishly. Adam replied casually, "It's okay. It's about time. I just got here." However, Wendy's face turned red. She had waited until there was only half an hour left to choose a nice dress, which was why she was only here now.

Adam looked at her cyan dress and sensed her care. The contrast between her meticulous attire and her disheveled appearance was striking, a contrast Adam found quite amusing. Seeing Wendy in such a state of disarray was truly rare.

Wendy looked at Adam, somewhat bewildered, a strange feeling of nervousness welling up within her. Although she had matured precociously and was already an A-rank Valkyrie, she was still completely clueless when it came to relationships. She had never imagined being alone with a boy, let alone going on a date.

At this moment, she felt her heartbeat quicken, and beads of sweat appeared on her palms. She was struggling internally, not knowing how to respond to Adam's invitation.

Adam noticed Wendy's uneasiness, smiled gently, and said softly, "Let's go and find a place to rest. I remember there's a cafe nearby that has great drinks."

Wendy's uneasiness gradually eased after hearing Adam's words. She nodded and said shyly, "Is it the one down the street? I like it too! Their cakes are my favorite."

Adam smiled, taking Wendy's hand. They walked side by side toward the street café. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on them. Pedestrians hurried by, a commonplace sight for people in this small town. But for Adam and Wendy, this moment felt incredibly special.

A bronze sign with the golden characters "Sunshine Cafe" hangs at the entrance. Green wooden tables and chairs stand in front of the door, and sunlight streams in through the clear glass windows, filling the air with warmth and the aroma of coffee.

As they entered the café, they were enveloped by a warm and familiar atmosphere. Soft music streamed from the speakers, its upbeat rhythm creating a pleasant atmosphere. Adam helped Wendy pull out a chair by the window and sat her down. Then, he walked to the counter and ordered two coffees and a piece of chocolate cake.
