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

In a sense, her existence is even strong evidence that Anna's life trajectory has been rewritten - this alone is enough for Lin Wei to express some "thank you" to her on Anna's behalf.

"Of course I know! I know!"

After receiving the definite answer, the little girl's eyes, which had been dimming, suddenly lit up like stars, and she said in a somewhat joyful and excited tone,

"My brother was admitted to a university in Singapore and is now working to earn tuition. A few days ago, I pestered him to take me there to play! He is... right there... right there..."

When she recalled the specific address, the little girl's excitement quickly subsided.

She only remembered that her brother had taken her there and knew the approximate location; but how could she possibly know where it was specifically, which road, which building, which unit and which number, these conceptual things?

"Ugh...I don't remember!"

The little girl didn't know what to say next and burst into tears.

"I know where he is... I really know where he is!"

She was very afraid that the hope she had finally obtained would be lost again.

"Lin Wei, look at yourself..."

Seeing that Lin Wei refused to listen, although Anna felt that he had good intentions but ended up doing something bad, she couldn't blame him for anything, so she had to step forward to help smooth things over.

"Wenwen, why didn't I hear you mention it when we were on the road?"

Anna asked softly, trying to distract the little girl in this way.

"Wu...Sister Anna..."

The little girl turned her head and explained pitifully with her mouth pursed.

"Because I know that Sister Anna has worked very hard to protect me from so many monsters. I can't cause any more trouble for Sister Anna..."

"Thank you, Wenwen..."

These innocent words made Anna retreat instantly. She turned her head to look at Lin Wei, asking him for help with her eyes.

"How about you think of another way?"

"..."

Lin Wei glanced at her speechlessly - your position changed too quickly, didn't it?

Anna also understood the meaning in his eyes and felt a little embarrassed.

"However, these two siblings are quite similar in some ways..."

Lin Wei touched the little girl's head and thought with some emotion.

In the original world line, when Chen Tianwu was rescued from the ruins by Anna and helped to evacuate to a safe area, he kept his worries about his relatives in his heart, did not cause trouble for Anna during the evacuation, and even used his slightly joking words to encourage and cheer Anna up.

It was not until he evacuated to a safe area that he finally couldn't help but take out his sister's photo and made a request to her humbly and hesitantly, which was completely different from the calm and playful appearance he had during the evacuation.

Moreover, after seeing Anna's clear resistance, he did not blame or force her. Instead, he quickly convinced himself and sadly accepted this cruel reality alone...

Therefore, to some extent, Lin Wei did not have a bad impression of Chen Tianwu, whom she had never met.

"Don't worry, Wenwen, let's find another way."

Lin Wei also knew that asking a child to tell her the specific location coordinates was too difficult for her, so she thought for a moment and said,

"If you start from the hospital where you and Sister Anna were, can you find your way home?"

The little girl knew this was her last chance, so she thought for a long time, then nodded hesitantly.

"can……"

"Hey, Wenwen is awesome."

Lin Wei rubbed her little head in praise and asked with a smile,

"Then, starting from your home, can you still find the direction to where your brother works?"

"can!"

This time, the little girl was much more confident - because she knew that her brother's workplace was not far from home, and she had been there more than once.

"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Lin Wei stood up with satisfaction, readjusted his direction, and returned to the location of the Central Hospital.

"Next, I'll ask the little guide to show us the way!"

………………

"Am I going to die?"

Buried under the rubble and unable to move, Chen Tianwu muttered to himself in despair.

He stretched out his hand unwillingly, but as always, he was unable to push away the reinforced concrete walls above his head, which were piled up in countless layers, had long since collapsed, were broken, but were still solid and unshakable.

"I don't know how those monsters could easily destroy such a solid thing..."

Chen Tianwu thought to himself that there was really nothing else he could do.

This place is as solid as a tomb.

Maybe, when the remaining oxygen here is exhausted, I will really die?

"Dad, Mom, Wenwen, are they okay now?"

He thought with some sadness, despair, and reluctance,

"They will be worried and sad if they can't find me, right?"

Thinking of this, a surge of strength surged in his body, and he couldn't help but reach out again to push the "coffin lids" made of steel bars and concrete, which were destined to be unshakable and as heavy as this tragic fate.

"Uh... ah!"

It failed logically - only some dust and debris were shaken off, which landed on his face and floated in the air of the small space, making his breathing more difficult.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Chen Tianwu was choked and coughed repeatedly. This time, he felt that his strength was really about to be exhausted.

"Is it really impossible to get out?"

He lay back dejectedly. There were monsters everywhere outside. What could he do if he went out?

Thinking of the terrible changes outside and the monsters everywhere, I couldn't help but feel sad.

"Are mom and dad really still alive?"

For a moment, it was as if the whole world had disappeared from his sight, and he couldn't even find the meaning of continuing to live...

Everything happened so suddenly.

First there was a sudden cloudy sky, then a sudden violent earthquake;

At that time, Chen Tianwu was concentrating on writing code in front of the company's computer.

"There's an earthquake! Run!"

But although he looked gentle and refined, his brain reacted quickly. He shouted loudly, and without saying a word, he pulled his colleague who was still in a daze and ran out. He finally ran out one second before the company building collapsed, and looked at the smoke and dust rising on the ground with lingering fear.

But all this is just the beginning...

Before Chen Tianwu, who had escaped death, could catch his breath, the crowded streets suddenly became chaotic and panicked from far and near.

From the increasingly noisy screams, one could vaguely distinguish some horrifying screams, and the successive explosions were becoming clearer and clearer, as if they were approaching here; and those creepy screams also became clearer and clearer as the explosions approached.

"Has a war broken out?"

This was the worst possibility Chen Tianwu could think of, and it made him break out in a cold sweat. He looked around hurriedly and locked onto a building that luckily had not collapsed in the earthquake. While the others around him were still in a panic, he grabbed his colleague and ran in that direction without saying a word.

"If there's a bombing, it's safer to hide in a building than in the open air!"

Chen Tianwu thought with gritted teeth.

When the other people around saw the two people running, they also became alert and rushed in that direction like a flock of sheep or even a school of sardines. Chen Tianwu himself almost couldn't squeeze in.

Then, a loud explosion "passed" by here along the street, killing and injuring countless people along the way, shattering many of the building's glass, and shaking everyone's internal organs to the point of churning, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Some unlucky people who also fled into the "bunker" but happened to be close to the natural gas pipeline could not escape the tragic explosion which was originally caused by the natural gas pipeline. They were affected by the various metal and concrete fragments that were broken apart, and suffered heavy casualties.

Chen Tianwu was lucky enough not to be able to squeeze into those rooms further in and which looked more "safe". Instead, he was squeezed into the hall like most people, but happened not to be affected by this brutal "massacre".

I have to say, there is a kind of black humor irony...

Even if you hide in a building, you still can't escape the explosion. This cruel fact makes the already panicked crowd even more panicked; and the emotions of fear and panic will spread and amplify rapidly among the crowd without restraint, turning into greater chaos and even greater panic.

Then, everyone rushed out at the same time, and Chen Tianwu and his colleague, whom he had been holding tightly, had to be swept out together.

Fortunately, the explosion here has stopped, and the explosion sound spread further away, so these people did not suffer further harm;

He just stood there blankly in the hellish scene with corpses everywhere, looking at the shocking blood-red color all around him, listening to the wailing and cries for help from the mouths of those who were dying but not yet dead in all directions, Chen Tianwu felt that the blood in his body had frozen.

"In the end what happened?"

Chen Tianwu was so frightened by this horrific scene that his mind went blank. Only one thought remained in his mind:

Are mom, dad and sister all right now?

Just thinking about them made Chen Tianwu almost go crazy. He frantically took out his cell phone, but he couldn't dial any number no matter how hard he tried. Finally, he found in despair that even the signal was cut off.

"I want to go home!"

Chen Tianwu made a decision with a trembling heart, turned around and prepared to run towards his home.

In his panic, he even forgot that his parents had gone to the hospital to pick up his sister today and there was no one at home;

But his mind was completely blank, and he was acting almost instinctively. There was only one voice in his head:

"go home"……

But just as he turned around, he heard the heartbreaking cries of those who were still on the upper floors and had no time to run down.

"Hai! Xiao!"

All the survivors became more and more panicked and turned around again to gather in the building they had just left.

Chen Tianwu was still not giving up and planned to go against the flow of people and squeeze towards home as planned; but this time, the colleague he had been holding hands with pulled him back into the building.

"Chen Tianwu, you are crazy!"

My colleague is a young woman who doesn't care about her appearance. You can't stipulate that girls can't be programmers, just like you can't ask programmers to pay attention to their image.

Chen Tianwu was not actually familiar with her - after all, he was just a temporary summer intern, and they could not be considered "colleagues"; it was just that when he was escaping, he instinctively grabbed the people around him and evacuated together.

Then, immediately afterwards, the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart. The two people holding each other could still give each other some psychological comfort, so they did not let go of each other's hands.

Now that she pulled him like this, Chen Tianwu had no choice but to reluctantly go back to the first floor lobby with her, feeling tormented by anxiety.

Time passed minute by minute, but the tsunami that everyone feared did not come.

It turns out that this place is already located in the inner city, relatively far away from the coastline; after all, a tsunami is just a larger wave, not enough to submerge the entire earth.

However, the absence of a tsunami does not mean that other things that come with it will not come...

A gust of wind blew through the hall, and smoke and dust flew all over the sky.

Chen Tianwu was caught off guard and was blinded and choked by the smoke and dust that was like blowing sand.

"Cough cough cough..."

Chen Tianwu covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed for a while, and suddenly realized that the surroundings seemed to have suddenly become quiet.

"What are the others doing?"

As soon as this thought emerged in my mind, before I could do anything, I heard terrifying roars, unbelievable screams, and even cries all around me.

"What are you doing? Why are you like this all of a sudden?"

"Go away! Don't come near me! Ah..."

"What happened again?"

There were so many unexpected events in this series that Chen Tianwu, exhausted both physically and mentally, even felt a little numb.

He forced his still painful eyes open, but was horrified to find that four-fifths of the crowd around him, which was originally as densely packed as sardines in a can, had disappeared out of thin air, making the entire hall suddenly seem empty. Chen Tianwu suddenly got the answer to what those inexplicable flying ashes that appeared out of thin air and flew all over the sky were.

But Chen Tianwu had no time to care about these things at the moment, because he was horrified to find that the order around him had been completely disrupted -

Some bared their fangs at others, some threw others under their bodies, some tore others apart, causing them to bleed and scream, yet they continued to tear without a care in the world...

However, those poor "others" were obviously the minority here. They were surrounded by those "some people" in groups of three or five and had almost nowhere to escape.

Hell, this is hell!
