Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

However, due to the loss of communication, they lost the intelligence support from their superiors. After entering the Philippines, they were faced with the situation of corruption and smoke everywhere. They were at a loss for a moment and didn't know which direction to put their efforts. They could only act based on their feelings and attack wherever there were Honkai beasts.

"..."

Rita secretly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

She understood that if she had arrived a little later, these seven teams, acting blindly like headless flies, would probably have been surrounded.

By then, the situation will be even more troublesome.

"……fortunately."

Lin Wei was right. In times like this, we cannot fight alone. Otherwise, more innocent people will die.

No matter if the innocent person who died was a Valkyrie or an ordinary resident who was in urgent need of rescue in the chaos.

Rita's mind raced.

She called up a detailed map of the Philippines on her personal terminal, and marked her location, that of the Snow Lotus team, and that of the seven Valkyries on the map.

Then, he marked the areas where the three destroyed Valkyrie teams were located, and after hesitating for a moment, he painted them all black.

The situation is urgent and a choice needs to be made. Rita has no choice.

"All teams, listen up. The following orders are now issued..."

Rita made a brief deployment, ordering the seven remaining intact Valkyrie teams to withdraw from their current combat positions and split six of them into two groups to rescue the two Philippine teams that were already in danger.

The remaining team began to move towards Manila, responsible for clearing out the scattered Honkai beasts and death squads in the rear, and establishing a defense line on the flank of the Snow Lotus team, coordinating and supporting each other.

Then, Rita marked two locations on the map, which were aligned with Manila where she was.

Rita synchronized it to all the Valkyrie teams and told them: After the rescue mission is completed, immediately retreat to the locations of these two punctuation points, establish a defense line there, and abandon all areas outside this line, along with any possible survivors there!

"I hope you understand: our priority now isn't to rescue as many people as possible or reclaim as much land as possible; it's to do everything we can to contain the spread of the collapse and prevent the disaster from escalating further."

Rita's tone was serious and firm, fearing that these innocent girls would act impulsively due to the momentary passion.

"Hold on and wait for reinforcements. Follow-up support from Tianming is still arriving. As long as we can maintain a stable defense until our reinforcements arrive and our strength is fully accumulated, we can recapture the lost territory, eliminate Houkai, and completely secure victory in this war!"

Therefore, each Valkyrie team had to accept Rita's orders and take action immediately, meeting up with each other, coordinating actions, and starting to carry out the tasks assigned to them by Rita, faithfully fulfilling their duties as Valkyries.

From this moment on, in the chaotic battlefield of the Philippines, Tianming's scattered and independent troops gradually formed a joint force and began to tilt the one-sided balance back little by little.

"call……"

After doing all this, Rita let out a long sigh.

She has done everything she should and can do, and all that is left is to persevere and wait.

"I'm just the lieutenant of the Undying Blade. It's really embarrassing to be in this situation now..."

Rita sighed and looked at the time - it was already far past ten minutes.

"..."

Rita's expression was as calm as ever, but in her wine-red eyes, which held both danger and charm, there was a silent glint of an indescribable brilliance.

After a moment, Rita sighed softly, turned on the communicator again, and said softly,

"Mr. Lin Wei, Rita's work has been completed."

The next second, the communication was disconnected, and there was no other sound except the busy tone of the rustling snowflakes.

Rita shook her head and said nothing, then turned back to the battlefield.

………………

the other side.

"Hahaha……"

Anna held the little girl who was already in a semi-comatose state tightly in her arms. She carefully curled up in a half-collapsed building, her body pressed against the wall, carefully recovering her strength.

She didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of attracting the attention of the Honkai beasts that were roaming the surrounding streets.

"Damn it, still no response."

Anna tried to open her communicator again without giving up. It was the only thing on her that could make her feel safe; but it had been completely damaged in the previous breakout and could not be used.

"Alas, I don't know how the captain and the others are doing..."

After repeated attempts and failures, Anna had no choice but to give up. She looked up at the half-collapsed ceiling above her head and couldn't help but think wildly.

The road to breakout was much more difficult than she had imagined.

Without any weapons, she was unable to fight against such a large number of Honkai beasts with her bare hands. She could only tiptoe around them and carefully avoid them, struggling to find a way to survive between the hunters like a pathetic mouse.

This road is a dangerous road full of difficulties and obstacles, and Anna needs to be extremely vigilant every minute and every second, not daring to relax for even a moment.

This was already a huge drain on her physical strength, not to mention that she was holding an absolute burden in her arms.

"Wenwen, Wenwen? Wake up, don't sleep..."

Anna kept rubbing the little girl's slightly hot face in her arms, buried her head next to her ear, and called out in a low voice,

"Hold on a little longer, we'll be safe soon..."

She had said this countless times along the way.

But where was safe? Anna herself didn't know; she also didn't know if she could get out alive.

She could only keep using such empty words to encourage the little girl in her arms, and at the same time to encourage herself - deceiving herself to hold on a little longer, walk a little further, and maybe she would really get out.

Then, just like that, she walked through one stretch of road after another, crossed one intersection after another, and successfully avoided the pursuit of countless Honkai beasts; Anna, who had walked here, was finally completely exhausted.

Of course she knew that the little girl in her arms was a huge burden, but she never thought of abandoning her.

This is not only because of her innate kindness and softness;

Moreover, the existence of this little girl is an important psychological support that allows her to persevere until now.

The feeling of loneliness is terrible. Especially in such a dangerous and desperate situation, it is easy to fall into self-doubt and give up.

Anna couldn't imagine how far she could have gone on the journey alone. Perhaps she wouldn't have made it this far...

However, the little girl's condition was already very dangerous. She had a high fever and her consciousness was gradually becoming blurred. Anna was extremely anxious, but she was helpless and could only use words to call her gradually sinking consciousness.

"Wenwen, Wenwen... I have some delicious food here, wake up quickly, or I'll eat it all..."

Does it really work?

Even Anna didn't know; but she could no longer find any other way.

"Ha...ha...don't sleep, hold on a little longer, we'll be out soon!"

Anna kept on muttering while panting; she reached out and took a bottle of clean drinking water from the side. It was a supply she had found along the way, and the quantity was extremely scarce.

Anna carefully unscrewed the bottle cap, resisting the urge to drink it all in one gulp. She used it to moisten the little girl's chapped lips bit by bit, trying her best to replenish her moisture.

Anna patiently fed most of the bottle of water to the poor little girl, then she tilted her head back and drank the remaining half of the bottle in one gulp. She shook the bottle with an unsatisfied look, and after making sure that no more drops of liquid could be shaken out, she threw it aside in disappointment.

"It's time to go!"

Even though she was still exhausted, Anna knew she couldn't delay any longer. She carefully leaned against the window and observed her surroundings. After making sure it was safe, she suddenly jumped out and ran forward quickly under the cover of the broken walls.

After running for a distance, before the Honkai Beast approached, he dodged and hid in another building, carefully hiding himself once again.

This is how Anna got through all the way.

From being surrounded by dangers at the beginning, we are now familiar with the process.

"If those guys from the Undying Blade knew how miserable I am now, who knows how they would laugh at me!"

Anna uses all kinds of random thoughts to cheer herself up and relieve stress.

"Well……"

Suddenly, the little girl in her arms made a soft sound. Anna was delighted. Could it be that she woke up?

"Wu... Daddy... Mommy... Don't go..."

The little girl sobbed with tears in her eyes.

"I...will be obedient...I won't eat snacks...I won't be picky about food..."

"Brother... where are you... I'm alone... so scared..."

Anna's joy turned into shock, and she quickly reached out to touch her forehead, which was even hotter.

"Oh no, he's starting to talk nonsense!"

Anna was so anxious that she went crazy. She looked around to find a way to relieve the pain, but in her panic she accidentally stepped on a piece of broken glass, making a crisp "crack" sound.

In an instant, Anna felt like she was falling into an icy cave!

Without any time to feel upset, Anna hugged the little girl in her arms without hesitation and suddenly jumped out of the nearby window that had already been opened.

The next moment, amidst a loud bang, a strangely shaped Honkai beast broke through the wall and howled into the building. Anna narrowly snatched it away and it landed on the open road in a rather embarrassing manner.

Afterwards, Anna didn't even bother to look back at what was happening behind her. She just gritted her teeth, lowered her head and ran as fast as she could!

Two Honkai beasts not far away heard the commotion here and rushed over from the left and right sides, but were easily shaken off by Anna. However, there were too many Honkai beasts nearby; the chaos and commotion she caused became more and more serious, and more and more Honkai beasts were attracted to her.

"Dead……"

Finally, Anna smiled bitterly and stopped.

She was surrounded by dozens of Honkai beasts and had nowhere to escape; those ferocious beasts roared and pounced on her excitedly, as if they couldn't wait to tear her into pieces!

"Zheng!"

"Swipe!"

Just when Anna was about to fight to the death, suddenly a clanging sound similar to the sound of metal shelves opening came from above her head; then more than ten black spears fell from the sky like rain, and in an instant, more than ten Honkai beasts rushing in the front were nailed to the ground, unable to move.

These Honkai beasts nailed to the ground were like a solid wall, blocking more Honkai beasts outside, preventing them from crossing the line even a single step, let alone getting close to Anna.

"what happened?"

Just before Anna could react, a black chain suddenly fell from the sky, wrapped around her slender waist precisely, and pulled her off the ground without any explanation, flying high into the sky.

Anna was startled, then relaxed her tense body. She knew someone must be coming to save her.

"Very good……"

Anna was thrown into the sky, thinking with a sense of having survived a disaster; then the upward momentum gradually stopped, and Anna began to feel falling again.

Before she could panic, an arm suddenly wrapped around Anna's waist and picked her up from the air and held her steadily in his arms.

"Phew, luckily, I made it..."

This familiar voice made Anna feel hot all over. She couldn't help but turn her head to look in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, she saw that familiar face at a close distance.

"Lin Wei? Why are you here?"

Anna was inexplicably surprised. She never expected to see him here.

"Of course I'm here to see you, silly girl..."

Lin Wei dispersed the black cross that had completed its mission, and stood steadily on the aircraft with Anna. He reached out and brushed her messy long hair, and said softly,

"Okay, it's safe now. I'll take you home."

These simple words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Anna's heart hard, leaving her stunned for a long time.

All of a sudden, all kinds of bitter, sad and happy emotions surged into her heart and onto her forehead, making Anna put everything aside and throw herself into Lin Wei's arms, crying uncontrollably.

Chapter 177: Reunion (7,000 words)

A little earlier.

Although Lin Wei only gave Rita a ten-minute deadline during the communication, his original intention was just to add a sense of urgency to Rita, and he did not really stick to the time limit.

After all, if the communication is forcibly interrupted before Rita's battlefield deployment is completed, it will only further cause chaos to the Valkyrie troops scattered all over the battlefield, who are already at a loss as to where to go. Not only will it not help the battle situation, but it will only have the opposite effect.

Lin Wei was unwilling to do such an irresponsible thing.

So after he gave Rita the ultimatum, he forgot about time and sat there with his eyes closed, waiting.

"That's probably all I can do for this 'big picture'..."

Lin Wei pondered silently.

Strictly speaking, Rita should be his enemy; so he should take this opportunity to trick her, or simply eliminate this hidden danger.

But again, Rita's existence is the only hope for the people struggling in this dead land.
