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

Not to mention the fourth-generation God-killing armor equipped by Rita, which in itself is enough to stand on its own; even just her identity - being able to "fight side by side with S-class Valkyries", this one sentence alone is enough to cheer up those Valkyries on the verge of despair.

Even though Rita came here alone, as an S-class Valkyrie, she was enough to serve as a banner.

With Otto and Yulandel both absent, only Rita could serve as a rallying force, rallying all those who could join the battle, uniting to maintain a relatively stable front, delaying the spread of the disaster as much as possible, protecting as many people as possible, and waiting for more reinforcements to arrive...

In this hellish battlefield, confidence and courage are as precious as time;

As a passerby, Lin Wei could never give these two things, only Rita could.

So, at such a critical moment, how could Lin Wei hold back like this?

The only thing I can do is to help her shine a beam of light in the darkness, so that Rita, as a banner, can allow those shrouded in darkness to see her, hear her, and consciously and voluntarily accept her orders.

That's why Lin Wei took the trouble to set up this stage and gave Rita "ten minutes" to perform to her heart's content.

"Hehe... Ying, do you think our respected Bishop will appreciate this self-conceited gesture?"

Lin Wei held his cane and tapped the ground rhythmically, asking himself questions and answering them.

"But who cares? He's just a destined enemy. Why should I care what he thinks or feels?"

There is no point in thinking about it, so it is better not to think about it, so as not to ruin your mood.

Lin Wei knew very well that this "enemy" also included Rita.

Even though they had formed a friendship after fighting side by side with tacit cooperation, as long as Otto gave the order, she would not hesitate to fight against him again, just like the battle that ended abruptly in Singapore.

However, in the next conflict, Rita may have mercy and sympathy in her heart and may show some mercy, but don't expect her to change her side so easily.

But who cares?

The reason why Lin Wei helped Rita was simply because he couldn't bear to see so many people die meaninglessly; no matter whether the person was a Valkyrie or an ordinary survivor.

Each of them is a living being, working hard to keep themselves and others alive - this is arguably the most magnificent picture in the world.

How can we watch such things and such people being swallowed up by disaster so easily?

If he didn't do something, Lin Wei asked himself, he might not be able to sleep well in the future.

The reason is just that simple: I wanted to do it, so I did it.

This is not a noble reason, nor is it a moral judgment. It is simply my personal likes and dislikes.

Therefore, he does not need anyone's gratitude, nor does he need anyone's recognition, nor does he need anyone's praise;

He wouldn't think of himself as a good person or a hero just because of something like this - it's not like he hasn't done such a thing before, watching others die!

"If someone as selfish and lawless as me can be called a 'hero', then this world is truly hopeless..."

Lin Wei cursed secretly.

Just when Lin Wei was daydreaming and killing time, Rita's call came quietly, her voice was particularly gentle and pleasant.

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

"Snapped!"

The next second, Lin Wei cut off the call without even bothering to reply "I understand" to her.

Because, next, he has to hurry up and do another thing he wants to do.

"Captain Jier, please stay here and wait for my news. You've been exhausted on this journey, and it's not appropriate for you to continue running around with me, wasting your mental and physical energy."

Lin Wei put away the communication tower that was very much in the style of Vervi without saying a word, and with a wave of his hand, he released another aircraft that was also very much in the style of Vervi, and said to Jie Er seriously,

"This is the highest point, and there are no large Honkai beasts nearby that could easily threaten this place. It's a perfect place to rest temporarily. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Anna back to meet you."

Lin Wei glanced at the empty space where the tower had just been placed and said,

"After all, the purpose of our coming here has not been completely accomplished..."

Battlefield communication and command should naturally be unobstructed at all times. How can it be a one-time deal?

In public, a complete communication system is needed on the battlefield to communicate with each other and coordinate actions;

Personally, isn't this just another part of the battlefield?

"The war between Otto and I was inevitable from the moment Rita appeared."

Lin Wei knew this very well, so he took action without hesitation - to win the recognition of the Valkyries including Rita, or at least their psychological support; this itself was one of his means of launching an attack on Otto.

Perhaps it seemed insignificant at first, unable to make them choose between him and Otto, and even unable to make them switch sides until the end;

But who can predict what will happen in the future?

At least, when he really fought a life-and-death battle with Otto and became the winner;

Lin Wei was already satisfied that these girls could accept reality calmly and not jump out and shout "Revenge for the Bishop" and hunt him all over the world...

"Is there any other time traveler who has a life as difficult as mine?"

Lin Wei hugged herself with some heartache.

"You'll come back with Anna, right?"

While asking seriously, Jie Er took out his life detector and threw it to Lin Wei from a distance.

"Let's go quickly! Anna is alone and it's very dangerous!"

She didn't know about the complicated calculations in Lin Wei's mind, nor was she interested; she only needed to know that the man in front of her also cared about his teammates, and that was enough.

"and many more!"

When Lin Wei was about to board the aircraft and leave, Jie Er suddenly called him back, struggled to stand up from the leeward wall, and with some difficulty picked up the two sets of Valkyrie armor and solemnly handed them to Lin Wei.

"As a Valkyrie, what would it be like without a weapon? Mr. Lin Wei, could you please help me pass it on to that new recruit?"

Lin Wei looked down and saw that the Crystal Reverse Blade and Water Fairy, these three-star equipment in the game, were part of the standard equipment of the Valkyrie Army in reality. Anna had used them on the Coral Island, so he naturally recognized them.

These weapons and equipment, whose energy properties tend to be cold, seem quite targeted on this flooded battlefield.

"Well, I'm off."

Lin Wei solemnly accepted them, the aircraft slowly rose, and then flew away into the distance.

"what……"

Jie'er breathed a sigh of relief as if she had let go of a worry, and watched Lin Wei leave. Then she slowly walked to the edge of the building, holding onto the low wall. All she saw was devastation, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

"That is?"

As her eyes turned, she saw a dilapidated church in the distance, among the long-withered trees and gardens.

That was the place she was most familiar with and the place she would return to one day.

But that place, like most of the destroyed places in this city, has now been completely changed...

"I...can't go back?"

Jier stared blankly in that direction, lost in thought. His teeth began to chatter, and his whole body trembled. A bone-chilling chill spread from his feet to his entire body.

It's so cold on such a high rooftop...

Her throat was churning, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, unable to help but retching violently.

“Ugh…Ahhh!!!”

She was the only one left here, and she no longer had to force herself to be strong and smile. Without having to worry about anything anymore, Jier finally burst into tears and wailed heart-wrenchingly.

No one knows what she lost in this disaster...

……

Fortunately, this horrific collapse was born from the bottom of the sea, and most of the rampaging collapse beasts were marine creatures, with a few terrestrial ones mixed in, and very few species that were good at flying.

Therefore, no one and nothing would disturb Jier who was emotionally broken at the moment, allowing her sadness, as big as a mountain and as big as the sea, to be blown in all directions by the ubiquitous wind, and finally scattered into sand, silently.

Similarly, it will not disturb Lin Wei.

Lin Wei, who was flying in the sky without having to worry about being attacked by the Honkai beast, was now rushing towards the central hospital in a hurry.

Although in the original world line, Anna also got separated from her team and successfully escaped alone;

But now, after witnessing so many human tragedies with his own eyes, Lin Wei did not dare to have high expectations for this.

What if the world line changes?

If it weren't for my appearance, Anna would never have been attacked by Stan and ended up in the hospital, right?

Even the route has changed. What if something unexpected happens?

That silly and somewhat reckless little girl is just an A-level Valkyrie. Can she escape from danger on her own without any weapons?

The more Lin Wei thought about it, the more worried he became, and he quickened his pace again.

However, this city is so huge that finding the trace of a girl is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Do I have to hold a loudspeaker and shout “Anna, Anna” everywhere?

If you dare to shout, Anna must dare to respond!

Therefore, there is no point in doing this except making the monsters more agitated and causing trouble for yourself.

Because of this, Lin Wei asked Jie'er to help him draw out several routes that Anna was most likely to take, so as to narrow the search area as much as possible;

It was also because of this that Jier gave his life detector to Lin Wei; using professional tools to find living people would be more efficient.

So, Lin Wei thought about it and decided to combine the two methods.

He lowered his altitude and slowed down his speed slightly to ensure that he could pass between the buildings without disturbing the Honkai beasts and dead soldiers that were crawling or wandering aimlessly on the ground. He then turned on the life detector and adjusted his direction of travel according to the life reactions displayed on the screen.

"You are...alive?"

In a taller residential building, a shivering girl huddled in a small bedroom saw Lin Wei breaking in through the window. She was horrified at first and backed away repeatedly. Then, realizing that the person coming was not one of those scary monsters, she excitedly rushed towards Lin Wei, grabbed his hand, and cried excitedly with a trembling voice,

"Are you here to save me?"

"..."

Lin Wei looked at the pitiful girl in front of him, whose body was covered with purple and red lines, and felt a little sorry for her. After a slight hesitation, he nodded gently and said softly,

"Well, you don't have to be afraid anymore."

"Very good……"

When the girl heard Lin Wei say this, the tense muscles in her body suddenly relaxed. She collapsed to the ground, tears in her eyes, and her face was filled with fear of the end of the world and joy of surviving the disaster.

However, at the same time, as the girl relaxed her mind, the purple-red lines on her body began to spread more rapidly and crazily. The lines and the beautiful fair skin turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the girl's eyes gradually lost their luster.

"Oh!"

A second before she became a dead soldier, Lin Wei ended her suffering with a Valkyrie standard pistol.

Then, Lin Wei picked up the dead girl by the waist and gently put her back on her bed full of warm colors. He helped her close her eyes, covered her with a quilt, and placed the teddy bear doll next to her.

Then, he turned and left without saying a word, heading towards the next place where there was a sign of life.

In an office building, a working woman in professional attire crouched under her desk in fear, hiding herself tightly with a chair, computer, books, etc., silently praying that she would not be discovered by the assassins wandering around.

"Bang bang bang!"

Lin Wei broke in through the window again and cleanly cleaned up those zombie-like assassins. Then he walked to the desk where the woman was hiding, tapped the table lightly, and said,

"Alright, the assassins here have all been cleared out. Just hide in this room and don't wander around, and you'll be safe for now. Someone will come and rescue you later."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"wait wait wait!"

The woman bravely crawled out from under the table, trembling as she looked at Lin Wei and pleaded,

"Can you take me out of here?"

She has a strong resistance to Honkai energy, and there are only a few lines on her body that can be corroded by Honkai.

"Sorry, I'm not free."

Lin Wei threw a feather down with her backhand, erasing her memory of being here. She just wrote down a belief: "Don't wander around, wait for rescue," and then stuffed her back under the table.

Lin Wei just helped her out after meeting her by chance. He really had no interest in bringing another burden with him.

After all, although there are only a few survivors along the way, there are far more than one or two; but even if I am really kind-hearted, how many people can the aircraft carry?

The third place is also a residential house.

After Lin Wei cleaned out the assassins in the same way, he threw a bag of food and water to the surviving woman and told her to lock the door, save supplies, and not make any noise, because someone would come to rescue her later.

After saying that, Lin Wei turned around and prepared to leave.
