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

Jier looked down and saw a single-edged sword that was broken into half, but the remaining blade was still sharp. It was the sword that had helped her fight all the way to the present.

"what!"

Jier laughed and threw the stone at his feet.

You are not a monkey, so why are you throwing stones at your enemies?

After humans walked out of the prairie and established civilization, they had their own way of fighting!

"This is my home..."

Jier held the broken blade tightly in both hands and took a few steps forward with a staggering gait.

The Honkai Beast was still rushing towards her at a rapid speed; it was huge and imposing, and humans looked as small and pitiful as mice in front of it.

"As long as I'm alive...you'll never set foot here again!"

Then, Ji'er squeezed out the last bit of strength and with a determined look, he rushed back towards the huge Honkai beast that was rushing towards him like a high-speed train.

"Andre, I told you long ago that sugar-free cookies are not tasty at all..."

The enemy was rapidly approaching, but Jier remained fearless, like a foolish person wielding a knife against the devil in the Last Judgment. He thought calmly in his heart,

"Let me teach you what 'dessert' is from now on!"

Chapter 209: Anna's Determination (5,000 words)

Some people say that there are three times of growth in life: the first is when you discover that you are no longer the center of the world; the second is when you try your best but still can't do anything; the third is when you discover that you are ordinary and accept your ordinariness.

Disparity, loss, confusion...

The mind will mature in such pain, the will will become tough in such beatings, and the vision will become broadened in such setbacks.

So, it is like passing through the birthing corridor again, walking out and getting up from all the heaviness, pain and crampedness, and the whole soul will be reborn and fly.

"The rain and dew of life are always accompanied by wetness and mud..."

The poet would probably say this, and gaze devoutly at the wind and thunder in the rain with eyes full of praise and joy.

If Lin Wei met such a person, he might kick him out of the warm roof with a sneer, and have him go out in the cold and damp wind and rain to find the "rain and dew" he wanted.

Why are you pretending to be so artistic here?

"This world is neither gentle nor right; it certainly won't smile at you or show you tenderness..."

Lin Wei would say,

"It's never the case that the gift of rain and dew is accompanied by wind, snow, and thunder—instead, we must learn to draw rain and dew and nutrients from thunder, rainstorms, strong winds, and heavy snow. Otherwise, we won't be able to push away the thick soil, let alone pierce those damn dark clouds!"

“The more the world tries to crush us and make us fall, the more we must learn to stand up from the mud and walk back to the sunshine step by step on our own two feet!”

Lin Wei did this himself.

He also believes that everyone in this world who cherishes life and loves life also has the same idea as himself;

Therefore, he can become friends with many people;

Therefore, many people are willing to be his friends.

These things cannot be easily understood and absorbed by another person with just a few words. It is a necessary journey that everyone must go through personally and completely. It is an indispensable part of life.

Lin Wei and Jie Er made it this way; Anna will also continue on this path—from stumbling and crying like a child, step by step to being calm and composed, and able to handle any situation with composure...

During this process, Lin Wei didn't mind giving her a hand, so that she would avoid falling and taking detours; but now he was unconscious and unable to protect himself, so Anna had to rely on herself.

"Hahaha……"

Anna carried the unconscious Lin Wei on her back and ran desperately in the only right direction.

She is not afraid of death, never has been.

If she had a choice, she would rather switch with the captain and carry out that mission that almost guaranteed her death; or she would rather stay there and face all the enemies and dangers together with the captain...

But she had no choice, because someone had to bring Lin Wei back safely. He had just saved everyone, so they had to get him back to safety, both for public and private reasons.

Because the captain asked her to live. Because she was just a young recruit, her life journey had just begun, and she didn't want her life to end here.

So, Captain Jier calmly took on the most dangerous task, using his own body to pave a safe path forward for Anna;

Therefore, in the face of such profound feelings, no matter how painful and reluctant Anna was, she could not let her efforts and sacrifices go to waste. She had to grit her teeth, harden her heart, and abandon the captain as quickly as possible and leave as far away as possible.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I'm sorry!"

She didn't even have time to be sad, let alone cry. She could only grit her teeth and run forward with her head covered, not daring to waste even a second.

Maybe, after I meet up with Rita and the other team members, I can organize my strength and come back to support the captain?

Anna thought to herself a little, her pace quickening.

"Hahaha……"

Without a means of transportation, Anna had to play the role of "transportation" herself, carrying a comatose young man on her back without complaint or hesitation; as if what she was carrying was all her meaning and the world...

"Lin Wei, you must be very disappointed in me now, right?"

Anna ran as hard as she could, talking to herself as if she was telling a story.

"I keep saying I want to be an excellent Valkyrie, but I always do some stupid and foolish things... I must have made you and the captain angry and embarrassed a lot, right?"

Or perhaps it was precisely because Lin Wei was unconscious and couldn't hear what she said, let alone respond, that she had the courage to pour out her heart like a tree hole.

"But, what is right and what is wrong? This question is really difficult..."

The outside world, for Anna, a bird that had just flown out of the ivory tower, was too stormy, too violent, and too sudden.

The so-called "glory of the Valkyrie" was shattered the moment she landed and joined the Snow Lotus team. The cognition and pride that had been built up since childhood were shattered and shattered under the first wave of torture of reality;

So, faced with this sudden and huge sense of uneasiness and crisis, Anna childishly tried desperately to prove that she was right; at that time, Jier also understood that it was too hasty and too harsh to let Anna face all this now.

In Jier's eyes at that time, there was still a long way to go; so she gave her a vacation and gave her some free time to calm down.

Then, whether it was by chance or destiny, Anna met Lin Wei in a confused manner. In a brief but thrilling adventure, she calmed down and began to grow with the intentional or unintentional help of Lin Wei.

So, after another conversation with the captain, she gradually began to understand that as a Valkyrie, the most important thing is not the illusory "glory", but "responsibility" and "mission".

At that time, she had just begun to touch these two heavy words, and did not have a clear understanding of how much weight they carried. She had just mustered up the courage and confidence to face and take on them.

What followed was a coma caused by an accident.

After waking up, these two abstract words suddenly transformed into the cruelest reality, overwhelming her without any warning. She had to face it all alone without any preparation...

Then, Lin Wei's arrival gave her a temporary sense of support once again. Her caring care and protection moved her and made her feel ashamed.

Then, a new round of crisis came. When Lin Wei wanted to protect her behind him as always, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded again.

And then, until now...

From the moment she stepped out of the Destiny Headquarters, the world began to ruthlessly ravage and torture Anna, never giving her the slightest chance to breathe; only Lin Wei and the captain gave her sufficient care and protection from different perspectives.

"If I tell you this, you might think I'm mean and selfish, but..."

Anna burst into tears, and as if judging herself, she hesitated and said loudly,

"But now, on this evacuation route, I actually feel an unprecedented sense of relief and happiness from the bottom of my heart..."

Glory, responsibility, and mission no longer matter on this lonely road of evacuation.

Even the "future" and "ideals" have temporarily lost their meaning before successfully reaching the destination.

Regardless of her duty as a Valkyrie, her own desire to protect Lin Wei, or the captain's instructions and earnest expectations, on this lonely and interdependent evacuation road, they unexpectedly reached a brief and complete unity - to take Lin Wei away from here alive.

Therefore, due to everyone's escape mentality and self-comfort when facing great pain; in addition to extreme grief and reluctance, an unprecedented sense of peace of mind and fulfillment also filled her heart.

This is truly despicable...

Anna thought a little hesitantly and even sadly.

"Lin Wei, I must be very annoying and disappointing like this, right?"

No one responded.

"Haha, it's okay. I know it even if you don't say it. You will definitely find a way to comfort me in various ways, right?"

Anna still held Lin Wei tightly on her back with one hand, wiped the sweat and tears from her face with the other hand, and said firmly,

"Lin Wei, don't worry. Even if it costs me my life, I will get you out of here no matter what!"

Still no one responded, and Anna felt a little disappointed; then she didn't say anything else, gritted her teeth, and ran forward even faster.

This former city was so huge that she had no idea how long she had been running or how long she would have to run. She only knew to keep her eye on the direction and run forward with all her might.

Gradually, Honkai beasts began to appear again on the road ahead, which made Anna's heart sink.

She didn't know if the captain had reached his limit, or if the Honkai beasts were moving upstream and landing too quickly, causing the road ahead to be once again blocked by Honkai beasts, or if it was both...

But no matter what the reason, the result is the same - the road ahead is no longer smooth.

"Huh...huh..."

Anna stopped and leaned against a broken wall, breathing heavily while thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"If Lin Wei were still awake, this little thing wouldn't be difficult for him..."

Anna couldn't help but think about it, then she suddenly came back to her senses, shook her head vigorously, threw all those random thoughts behind her, and began to think about how to deal with it.

"Do we have to proceed cautiously and covertly like last time?"

Anna couldn't help but think about it. After all, she had done this not long ago when she took the little girl to escape from the ruins of the hospital, so she already had some experience.

But she just looked around at the surrounding environment, ventured to stand on the top of the wall, looked at the "road conditions" in the direction of progress, and decisively gave up the idea.

The reason is simple. After the second earthquake and tsunami, the remaining buildings have all collapsed into ruins, and the original ruins have been almost razed to the ground. It is almost impossible to hide like last time.

What's more, the longer you delay, the more Honkai beasts there will be on the road ahead, and the more difficult it will be to escape successfully.

"In that case..."

Thinking of this, Anna made up her mind, checked the weapons and equipment on the spot, tied the rope on Lin Wei more tightly, then took a deep breath, held the knife in one hand, and rushed to the front of the Honkai beast when she saw the opportunity. She cut off its two legs with two clean and neat strokes, and cut off its head cleanly and neatly the moment it fell.

If Anna hadn't been carrying a heavy burden, her movements would have been cleaner and more efficient.

After successfully solving the obstacle, Anna continued to run as fast as she could. After a while, she encountered a new Honkai beast in front of her. She used the same method to solve it cleanly and neatly, and then continued to move forward.

As expected, the number of Honkai beasts in front began to increase gradually. Anna was ultimately unable to deal with every Honkai beast she encountered. One of the Honkai beasts cried out before dying, attracting the other Honkai beasts around to move towards Anna's direction.

After all, whether it is ants or beasts, there will be communication between each other.

"hateful……"

Anna gritted her teeth unwillingly, and then did not dare to delay any longer, entering the third stage of the evacuation route - racing against time regardless of the consequences.

In reality, if Ji'er hadn't decisively lured away a large number of Honkai beasts beforehand, this most dangerous phase would have arrived much earlier. By then, with both Valkyries targeted by these Honkai beasts, there would have been no way they could have been easily led away by one person...

Seeing that the situation was inevitably heading towards the worst outcome, Anna no longer hesitated. She still held Lin Wei with one hand and tightly grasped the blade with the other hand, rushing forward regardless of anything.

"I can't give up. I've already come this far. How can I give up?"

Anna cried out loudly in her heart,

"I promised the captain that I would get Lin Wei out safely... I can't let them down!"

But this world is always like this. It will not show leniency to you no matter what your will is. Instead, it will intensify and bring more setbacks upon you - more and more Honkai beasts are surrounding you from all directions.

If she were unburdened and her arms were free to move, Anna might be able to fight her way out on her own;

But now, with a heavy burden on her back, only one arm able to fight, and her physical strength severely overdrawn, Anna felt that every step forward was becoming more and more difficult.

“Hu…Hu…Hu…Hehe…Hehe…”

Anna was extremely tired and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm really...useless..."

The descendants of the dignified Shaniyat family have become so ugly now.

Captain, I may disappoint you...

Anna thought with some sadness, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Wei's peaceful sleeping face lying on her shoulder.

"Are you having a sweet dream?"

Anna looked at his face in a daze, wishing that this moment would last forever.

"Roar!"

The roar of the Honkai Beast woke up Anna, who was a little dazed.
