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

The thick dark cloud that once suffocated the entire earth disappeared like a phantom in a dream; but as long as you shift your sight slightly, no matter which direction you look, you can see the thick dark cloud in your memory from a long distance.

But above the sky, the dark clouds seemed to have been plucked away by someone's hands, allowing this land that had been ravaged repeatedly to once again bathe in the warm sunshine.

Like a new life...

Along with the clouds in the sky, the huge tsunami that almost swept across half of the city also disappeared.

No one knew what had happened here. They only saw the tsunami suddenly appear, carrying the force of thunder, sweeping across the earth with a thunderous roar like a thousand horses galloping, ruthlessly devouring all the debris and buildings in its path, as well as the lives that might have lingered within these debris and buildings...

Then, suddenly, it was like an invisible giant hand descended from the sky in an instant, scattering the thick dark clouds that enveloped everything, flattening the terrifying waves that obscured the sky and the sun, and crushing the seemingly endless number of Honkai beasts that came riding on the waves...

It seemed like in just a moment, the tide receded, the clouds dispersed, the sun came out, and the world became quiet.

Except for Anna and Jier, they were the ones who witnessed it all.

They saw with their own eyes a nameless man, desperately blocking the way to that terrifying wave, like a ridiculous praying mantis stretching out his slender arms, trying to stop the earth-shaking wheel...

Then, like a miracle, he did it.

Including Anna and Jier, they didn't understand how he did it. Just a moment ago, all his efforts seemed to have failed, and they were all prepared to be drowned by the sea of ​​Honkai beasts.

And then, in a split second, it was all over...

Another moment later, before they could recover from the shock of the ups and downs, they saw the man who was hanging high in the sky and saved everything falling down like an angel with his wings suddenly broken.

"Lin Wei!"

Anna, whose attention was all on Lin Wei, woke up first. She quickly wiped away the tears that kept flowing out, and stared at the figure falling headfirst from the sky with her red and swollen eyes. She staggered towards the place where he landed.

She didn't know what Lin Wei looked like now, and she didn't even dare to think about whether he was alive or dead. She only knew that if she let him fall straight to the ground like this, she would probably commit suicide on the spot out of regret.

Fortunately, Lin Wei flew high enough; fortunately, Anna was close enough; fortunately, she ran fast enough.

When Lin Wei was less than five or six meters from the ground, Anna hurried over. Seeing this, she jumped up and hugged him tightly in her arms, using herself as a cushion to land steadily on the ground.

"Woo..."

After holding him tightly in her arms, Anna finally let go of her worries. Tears rolled down her cheeks again, and she gently stroked his still warm face, crying loudly.

"Idiot! You're such a fool!"

no respond.

In the past, Lin Wei would have wiped away her tears with a smile, or stroked her head to comfort her, or simply laughed at her and called her a hopeless fool.

But now, his silence frightened her.

"Lin Wei...what's wrong with you?"

Anna choked up and said,

"Talk to me, don't scare me...ah!"

Anna had just wiped away the tears that blurred her vision, and when she saw Lin Wei's face clearly, her hair stood on end and her hands and feet became cold.

He could see clearly that Lin Wei's fair face, which she was very familiar with, was now covered with purple-red lines.

It was the symbol of Honkai energy erosion that she was all too familiar with, and it was still slowly and steadily eroding the area that still had healthy color, as if it had life.

"Is this... Honkai erosion?"

Anna couldn't believe it, and hurriedly tore off Lin Wei's shirt. She saw with some despair that his entire torso was completely occupied by purple-red erosion, and even gray-white areas had begun to spread bit by bit.

"No, how could it be?!"

She couldn't imagine how a person with the Holy Mark, a person who had just saved the world, could suddenly be eroded by the Honkai and become like this.

"Is this what he is?"

Jier, who arrived late, also saw this scene and was equally shocked, followed by a wave of deep regret.

"Pity……"

Jier sighed regretfully, then slowly and firmly took out a pistol from behind his back and loaded it with a "click".

Anna was awakened by the familiar voice, and quickly opened her arms to protect Lin Wei behind her, questioning loudly,

"What do you want to do?"

"Give him a quick death."

Jier said calmly,

"He has been eroded by the Honkai to this point. There is no cure."

"You are crazy!"

Anna screamed excitedly,

"He just saved us, all of us! You..."

"Open your eyes and see clearly! He is almost dead!"

Jier interrupted Anna's accusation loudly, then suppressed her anger and sadness and questioned her word by word.

"Do you want him to die as a human being, or waste my time and let him become a dead soldier and be eliminated?"

She emphasized the words "human beings", "death", "death warriors" and "elimination".

"No, wait, Captain, there must be another way!"

Anna was so panicked that she spoke incoherently,

"There must be a way to save him... there must be..."

I don't know if she was racking her brains to find a solution or comforting herself, but she kept muttering to herself. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she shouted excitedly,

"Yes, potions! And potions!"

She suddenly remembered that Lin Wei had used a potion to cure Chen Tianwu's collapse erosion, and then gave it to her. Then she put it back on Lin Wei's body, and it was...

Anna turned around abruptly, stroking Lin Wei's body in a panic, muttering in a panic,

"Don't lose it, don't lose it!"

"Potion?"

Jier was confused and even wondered if she, the vice-captain, was too sad. She started to have wild thoughts. What kind of potion could save someone who had been corroded by Honkai to this extent?

Soon, Anna felt the same familiar hard touch in the pocket of the familiar clothes. She breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to herself in a crying voice,

"Great, great..."

She carefully took it out and placed it on Lin Wei's arm, which was truly shocking. Praying that the potion would still work as miraculously as before, she recklessly injected the two thousand doses of anti-collapse serum into Lin Wei's body.

The "portions for two" that Lin Wei had mentioned had long been thrown out of her mind. At this moment, she was only thinking about how to save him from the brink of death.

At the same time, the already dimmed stigma on Lin Wei's back also struggled to light up slightly, and together with the newly arrived "reinforcements", they fought against the already precarious Honkai erosion.

In a moment, the purple-red lines that had already covered Lin Wei's face began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Anna finally let out a long sigh, then carefully paid attention to Lin Wei's breathing and pulse. After confirming that they were as firm and steady as before, she finally felt relieved and burst into tears.

"Really, that's great..."

She couldn't believe it. If Lin Wei really became a dead man, how would she face him?

Do we really have to take down this dead man?

Anna asked herself, she couldn't bring herself to do this...

"Huh, I didn't expect there really is such a magical potion in the world."

Jier carefully observed the changes in Lin Wei's body and confirmed that the gray-white areas and purple-red lines on his body were indeed fading rapidly, revealing his healthy flesh color again. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, put the safety of the weapon he was going to use for execution back on, and put it back into the box.

If she had a choice, how could she be willing to kill her companions?

"Let's go..."

Before Jier could finish his words, he heard a loud sound of water breaking in the quietly flowing Pasig River not far away. Turning around, he saw a huge crab-like Honkai beast that had just crawled onto the riverbank from the river, with residual water stains still flowing all over its body. It was crawling towards Jier, Anna and the others.

Behind it, new Honkai beasts climbed ashore one after another; at the same time, Honkai beasts also began to climb up from the opposite bank and the bank further downstream.

Slowly, some Honkai beasts began to crawl ashore in some places further up.

Looking further away, I saw that the coast was now covered with dense swarms of Honkai beasts. They had not caught up with the first wave and were a step slower in speed. They had just crawled ashore in the sea and were preparing to head further inland.

Obviously, they didn't know that the fastest group was almost wiped out...

"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't end this soon!"

Jie Er's face turned ugly, and he pulled Anna and said anxiously,

"Go quickly, retreat!"

It was obvious that the battle was not over yet. They had to move to the relatively safe inland area as soon as possible and reunite with their companions as soon as possible, instead of staying here foolishly and dying!

"Yes!"

Anna responded, quickly carrying the still unconscious Lin Wei on her back, and hurriedly followed Captain Jier to run quickly in the direction of her team - before she was surrounded by Honkai beasts.

………………

If someone stands in the perspective of God, they will find that this episode is familiar - a vast number of Honkai beasts swept across Southeast Asia from the Western Pacific region; some were blocked by the Philippine Islands and landed on the islands one after another; more followed the undercurrent in the sea to bypass the barrier of the islands and headed towards the South China Sea.

Then, it disappeared...

"hold head high……"

Somewhere deep in the South China Sea, beneath a deep-sea reef, in an unknown cave, a low cry suddenly came out. It sounded like the dream talk of an ancient giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time and was gradually waking up, or like the comfortable cry after a full meal after years of hunger.

Then, although this area was not as deep as the Mariana Trench, which was 10,000 meters deep, it still had several thousand meters of deep seabed. From this moment on, it began to have life, emitting periodic ocean currents like breathing, sweeping in some deep-sea creatures that accidentally approached it, and some of them were transformed into Honkai beasts by the inexplicable Honkai energy, or simply swallowed by the terrifying giant beast lurking in the abyss.

It was a terrifying behemoth that almost devoured an entire continent. It was an ancient history buried under the deep sea, but now it is gradually awakening. It won’t be long before the changes here will be noticed by those who know about that past and often pay attention to this place.

But that's all for later...

………………

Manila, Philippines.

The Honkai beasts that landed on the coast were slowly moving inland; and as for the long river that ran through the entire city, more and more Honkai beasts were landing on both sides of the river, invading the inland in another way and more quickly.

"Damn, it's worthy of being called a water monster. It swims upstream in the Pasig River much faster than we can on foot!"

Jier said with some annoyance.

At this moment, more and more Honkai beasts began to land and appear in the upper reaches of the river; they eroded the land that had just been cleared bit by bit, and also continuously compressed the evacuation route of Jier and Anna.

While the number of Honkai beasts landing from the river was far less than that from the coast, they were still quite large. Getting entangled with them would only attract more Honkai beasts. Once caught up by the Honkai beasts landing from the coast and surrounded, there would be no escape!

But if they continue to move forward like this, sooner or later they will have a head-on encounter with the Honkai beasts that are crawling out of the river, or they will have to deviate from the route and risk being caught up by the "pursuers" from the coast behind them. Taking a long detour will also be extremely risky.

Damn, if only I had a means of transportation, Jier thought with some annoyance.

However, at this moment, Manila was almost completely destroyed. Where could she find transportation?

At this moment, she missed her motorcycle very much.

If it were still there, what could these few aquatic creatures do to me?

But if there is nothing, there is nothing. Daydreaming is meaningless and will only waste your precious time.

"This is not the way to go."

Seeing that the road to retreat was getting narrower, Jier suddenly came to Anna's side and seriously suggested,

"Anna, let's split up. I'll be responsible for diverting those damned gangs from the riverbank to buy you some time. You take this opportunity to take Mr. Lin Wei and evacuate as quickly as possible!"

Chapter 205: Choice

The other side of the city.

Among the collapsed ruins, a motorcycle, as weathered as the city itself, roared and roared, speeding along roads that were wide, narrow, or bumpy, stirring up clouds of dust and leaving a long trail as it sped towards the other side of the mountain.

Driving at such a lightning-fast and reckless speed would be fraught with danger even on a platform or a brand new road. Even the slightest accident would result in the destruction of the vehicle and the death of people; not to mention driving in such a dangerous and full of obstacles of all sizes in the ruins of the city.

This is tantamount to suicide!

"Crazy, I must be crazy!"

Chen Tianwu roared madly in his heart, his adrenaline soaring. From birth to now, he never thought that one day he would do such a crazy thing - driving a crazy car and unscrupulously dancing the most contemptuous dance in front of monsters and the god of death!

No, it's this world that's crazy!

It is this crazy and unreasonable world that forces us to fight desperately!
