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

Isn’t the so-called “growth” just going through one thing after another, like being carved out by a knife or an axe?

Who is born an adult?

Didn’t we start from babbling and grow up little by little?

As long as her courage, enthusiasm and resolute will are not extinguished, she will surely discover her own qualities step by step and become a pillar supporting the future of mankind!

"Tsk, you two really are a great team! You're both equally unreasonable!"

Lin Wei was speechless, too lazy to waste time with her. She pointed to the side and said concisely,

"What about this brother and sister? Leave them here to die?"

Chapter 202: Chen Tianwu

"What about this brother and sister? Leave them here to die?"

Lin Wei pointed at the gray-haired boy who had been standing aside and remained silent and said.

Time is limited, and he is too lazy to continue with an in-depth discussion of outlook on life and values, so he goes straight to the issue that cannot be avoided in any way.

There are only three people here who are capable of fighting - myself and two A-level Valkyries; if both of them follow me, what will happen to these two ordinary people who have finally survived!

Even though this place has been cleaned up once before and is temporarily safe, are you sure it can survive the second wave of Honkai beasts and hold out until the rescue forces from Destiny arrive?

Especially Chen Tianwen, he has such a good relationship with you, Anna. Can you just watch them die here?

"..."

Anna obviously understood this problem, and the expression on her face became even more painful for a moment.

"Um...can I say a few words?"

Chen Tianwu, who had been standing silently by and observing this sudden argument coldly, suddenly spoke out of the blue.

After all eyes were focused on him, Chen Tianwu felt a little nervous, but he still swallowed his saliva, pointed at the car covered with scars next to Jie Er, and said calmly,

“I can ride a motorcycle…”

"you?"

Lin Wei never expected that this guy would jump out to add drama, frowning and said,

"Do you know how dangerous this road is?"

"I know."

Now that he had said this, Chen Tianwu was no longer nervous and said seriously,

"This city is full of giant monsters and humanoid monsters. The roads will definitely be dangerous."

"Then you still..."

"As long as we're fast enough, there's no problem!"

As if worried about being rejected directly, Chen Tianwu quickly answered,

"I've been listening to your arguments and have sorted out some important information. ...Valkyrie, right?"

He asked as if seeking confirmation, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Wei nodded.

In this time and space, there was no one who explained various terms to him one-on-one like Anna did in the original world line. He had to listen carefully along the way to collect fragmented information from Lin Wei, Anna, and Jie'er, and then summarize and organize it.

"I understand what you were arguing about just now. Mr. Lin Wei, you are going to resolve this crisis. These two Valkyries are your helpers, and my sister and I... well, we're just a burden. I'm so sorry to have caused you to argue over us..."

Seeing that his right to speak was not denied, Chen Tianwu seemed to be encouraged. He laughed at himself, then raised his head, looked into Lin Wei's eyes seriously without flinching, and said without any fear,

"I'm just an ordinary person. I don't know how big the gap is between the so-called 'Valkyrie' and ordinary people like me. So I want to ask, can these two beautiful ladies fight against so many terrifying monsters?"

"No way!"

Before the three people present could answer, the little girl hurriedly interrupted them.

"When Sister Anna took me away from the hospital, we encountered many dangers along the way. Sister Anna couldn't deal with so many monsters alone!"

"Well…I just didn't have a weapon at the time."

Anna explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"I understand what you mean."

Lin Wei summarized what Chen Tianwu wanted to express in his words.

"Are you trying to say that since a Valkyrie alone can't lead you to escape safely, why not let you act on your own?"

Lin Wei looked into his eyes seriously.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

An ordinary person with no ability to resist and his sister running around in a city that is in collapse, and want to escape safely?

Who do you think you are? Kevin from pre-civilization?

"I think Mr. Lin Wei may have overlooked a problem..."

Chen Tianwu shook his head, showed a firm smile, and said calmly,

"A motorcycle's speed depends on its engine and the rider's courage and skill, not on the rider's strength. And a motorcycle carrying three people will never be faster than one with two!"

"..."

Lin Wei was speechless for a moment.

"And if we're not fast enough and are unfortunately stopped by a monster, even with Miss Valkyrie present, we can't guarantee our safety..."

"Since we're bound to encounter danger no matter what, why not let me take my sister and go lightly and face the gates of hell myself?"

Chen Tianwu never thought that he would have such a crazy idea one day, and he never thought that he would be able to express it smoothly and completely, and even felt a little bit unsatisfied.

He was no longer nervous. He looked around at Lin Wei and the other two like a victorious general and said with a smile,

"This way, Mr. Lin Wei and Ms. Anna won't have to argue over this little thing of ours anymore. It's the best of both worlds."

Anna was stunned, her face flushed, and she felt a little ashamed.

Didn't she understand that this young man she met by chance was helping her out?

"...Tsk, you kid, are you so bold?"

Lin Wei was happy. He found that he was beginning to like this boy.

No wonder in the original world line, Anna rescued dozens of survivors from the collapse of Manila, but was only impressed by Chen Tianwu;

It was no wonder that Raven, who always had a bad face towards those he disliked, looked up to him when he was destroying the Thousand Fists Society, and even made an exception to recommend him to join the World Serpent. He was also able to break through the assessment and successfully promoted to become an organizational cadre with an independent code name;

Not to mention, he, a child from an ordinary family, was able to join an underground organization like the Thousand Fists Society alone after the collapse, and even gain a place in it in a short period of time...

This kind of willpower and courage, and the character of daring to think, speak and act, can make a name for oneself no matter where one is.

Yes, that serum was not given for nothing, Lin Wei couldn’t help but think.

"Time is running out, and we don't have much time to waste on back and forth. So, I'm asking you a question, and you need to answer it truthfully: Why would you take such a risk?"

Lin Wei asked seriously,

"You should know that 'it's easier said than done.' You know the dangers along the way. If you really set out on this journey alone, there will be no chance for regret."

No matter how much Chen Tianwu said, he could not hide one fact - as an ordinary person, his reaction nerves were far from comparable to those of a Valkyrie!

What's more, as an ordinary person who is experiencing the Honkai for the first time, when he really drives a car and is surrounded by Honkai beasts, can he still have the courage he has now and really face it calmly as he said?

"At this point, this should be the best choice, right?"

Chen Tianwu shrugged, then glanced at Anna and smiled.

"Come to think of it, there's not much difference between a Valkyrie and an ordinary human girl! Seeing Miss Anna so heartbroken is really heartbreaking..."

Tsk, this guy, Lin Wei curled his lips.

"Of course, it's just a joke, don't mind it."

Chen Tianwu smiled indifferently, then his expression became serious and he said,

"Of course, there are other, more important reasons. Mr. Lin Wei, you and Miss Anna rescued my sister and me from danger. Not only did you help us reunite, you also gifted me with such a precious potion, giving us hope for survival... Although it may sound ridiculous, I know that with my status, I may never have the chance to repay this favor."

Without waiting for Lin Wei to speak, he smiled shyly and said self-deprecatingly,

"In that case, at least don't let yourself become a burden..."

"Mr. Lin Wei's journey is much more dangerous than mine. If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid? What's more, this is Miss Anna's kindness. Having her by your side is more meaningful than bringing two burdens, me and my sister."

Chen Tianwu's attitude was sincere and resolute.

"If Miss Anna must choose someone to protect—your life is more important than ours!"

"..."

Lin Wei sighed with some emotion, walked forward, and patted his shoulder vigorously.

"Everyone's life is important. Everyone's life is the same, and you are equally important..."

If she had saved Chen Tianwu just for Anna's sake before and didn't care much about his future, but now, Lin Wei found that she really didn't want this young man to die here.

What have I done to deserve others to make such sacrifices for me?

However, he found that apart from using Yu Duchen to forcibly distort Anna's will, there seemed to be no better way; just as Chen Tianwu himself said, there was no better choice.

So, he took the initiative to stand up and made his own choice at this crossroads of fate.

After all, who in this world wants to be a burden to others?

"Chen Tianwu, right? Not bad, young man!"

Jier walked over, patted his other shoulder, looked him up and down carefully, and then pulled him towards his car, saying as they walked,

"After this is over, I can introduce you to the girls on the team. They're all very beautiful."

Chen Tianwu was embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly.

"This lady is joking..."

"Sister Anna, goodbye!"

On the other side, the little girl also understood her brother's choice, looked up and smiled, and said crisply,

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. My brother is awesome!"

Anna looked at her back, feeling empty and lost for a moment.

"It's not too late to change your mind now."

Lin Wei walked to her side, shook his head helplessly, then raised his hand and said,

"Give it back to me, or do you plan to keep it there forever?"

Anna silently put the knife back into the sheath, then lowered her head and placed it back into Lin Wei's open hands, without saying a word.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

Lin Wei asked.

Anna nodded.

"Change your mind?"

Lin Wei asked.

Anna shook her head, her fluffy chestnut hair swaying from side to side.

"You guy..."

Lin Wei was somewhat helpless with her stubbornness.

"Can't you be a little more obedient?"

"Next time, I will be obedient..."

Anna raised her head, stared at Lin Wei with tearful eyes, and said stubbornly,

"But, this time, I don't want to see you in danger!"

"Just like we did on Coral Island, let me protect you, okay?"

Anna begged like a little girl who had made a mistake, wanting to hug Lin Wei in her arms, but she hesitated and could not muster up the courage.

As soon as the demon sword returned to Lin Wei's hand, it consciously turned back into a cane. Lin Wei raised it and hit Anna on the head unhappily, then gently stroked the clear knife scar on her neck.
