On the occasion of collapse

———————————————————————— (This is the normal word count for work. I thought the author was a aunt and asked me to work overtime every day.

Author: You are looking for death! ! )

"Alicia, isn't there a branch here? Why do we need to deal with the Honkai Beasts and Death Soldiers here?" On the way, Fu Ling looked at the ruins around him and couldn't help but move closer to Alicia. Minato.

"Huh? Well, because the branches generally have very few manpower, and there are even fewer people with combat capabilities. This time, three cities suffered varying degrees of collapse at the same time. This city was the most serious. They didn't have enough manpower. That's when I applied for support from the headquarters." Alicia was holding her longbow in her hand and looked lazy. But if anyone dares to show malice to Alicia, believe me, he will be killed in the next second. Will turn into a hedgehog.

"That's it." Poria seemed to understand, and nodded her little head.

"Xiaoling, don't think that this mission is easy. Including you new recruits, we have less than 90 people in total, but our mission scope covers the entire city. The people in the branch can only move around the periphery of the city at most. And help us deal with the injured people we searched and rescued. The concentration of Honkai energy inside the city is too high for ordinary people to bear, and the number of Honkai energy adaptors in the branch is too small." Alicia said slowly, her eyes He is constantly observing his surroundings.

"When the collapse occurred, the number of people who escaped was less than one-third of the city's total population, and the branch's subsequent search and rescue operations only found a few hundred people." Alicia looked at Fuling, and for the first time in her Say these cold numbers in front of you.

"The chance of survival of the remaining people is very small, but we cannot give up hope. We must rescue them as much as possible before confirming that there are no human vital signs in the city."

"I understand." Fu Ling listened with half-understanding. She still didn't understand the meaning behind these numbers, but she knew they were saving people.

Time passed quickly. The clean-up operation had begun for a full four hours, and more than a dozen teams had only found eight survivors.

There are men and women, even old people and children.

But the strange thing is that no matter who they are, they have no injuries on their bodies. At most, their faces are sallow due to hunger.

Poria has never understood this very well. Could it be that the Honkai Beast doesn't hurt people?But the Honkai beast she encountered in the previous assessment was very injurious.

It wasn't until she met Alicia that she knew why no one who survived had wounds.

.......

Chapter 62 I...I killed someone...

"What did you say?" Fu Ling looked at the woman lying in the rubble in front of her and asked in confusion.

"I know, it might be too cruel for you..." The woman in front of her was wearing a battle uniform unique to the Fire Chasing Moth. Fuling had not seen her when she came here. It was obvious that she was from the branch. combatants.

"But... for me... this is the only way to save me..." The woman covered her wound. She couldn't even move a finger now, and it was even difficult for her to speak.

"How could it be possible? I could have rescued you!" Fuling felt deeply puzzled as she looked at the woman who refused to be rescued and instead asked herself to kill her.

"People infected by Honkai... will turn into monsters... I am not one who can adapt to Honkai..." The woman looked at Fuling, and the determination in her eyes made Fuling stunned.

"I don't want to die...but...I have no choice now...to go back alive...at least...let me die as a human being."

Fu Ling's hands were trembling. She didn't know what her mood should be. She only knew that the woman in front of her was speaking her truth.

"So... I'm begging you." The woman looked at Fu Ling and forced a smile on her face.

"By the way...can I trouble you...to bring something...to someone in the branch after I die?" The woman seemed to have remembered something and said to Fuling.

"Her name is Yilan... she is a... medical staff from the branch... she should be... carrying out... medical care... outside the city." The woman's voice was much softer, and the pauses between words were also small. A lot more.

"This... necklace on my chest... please bring it to her... tell her... in the next life... I will come find her again. And... my body... just throw it in Come here...just take my nameplate back..." The woman almost paused for a few seconds before speaking a few words, but she was still talking little by little.

Fu Ling bit her lip. Her lower lip had started to bleed from her bite.Closing her eyes, Fu Ling slowly raised the spear in her hand.

"Thank you."

The woman looked at Poria with a relieved smile on her face.

Fu Ling's hand trembled, and finally she stabbed the spear down.

"Hey!" The sound of a spear penetrating into flesh came, and Fu Ling opened her eyes tremblingly, looking at the dying woman in front of her.

"sorry Sorry sorry....."

Looking at the woman in front of her who was killed by her own hands, Fu Ling collapsed to the ground, and her spear fell to the ground.She kept saying sorry and didn't know what to do.

The woman no longer had the strength to speak. She looked at Fuling who kept saying sorry in front of her and shook her head with difficulty.

No need to apologize...I should be the one to apologize to you.Also, thank you...

The woman opened her eyes and looked toward the west, as if looking at someone.Gradually, the eyes looking at the west lost their aura and became dead.

Looking at the completely dead woman, Fu Ling was stunned.

My mind went blank and I had no idea what to do.

Vaguely, Poria remembered the woman's request before she died.Stretching out her hand tremblingly, Fu Ling took off the lock-shaped necklace and nameplate that hung around the woman's neck.

On the blood-stained nameplate is this woman's name.

Tia.

Closing the woman's eyes, Fu Ling stood up unsteadily, took the woman's necklace and nameplate, picked up her spear, and walked hard out of the city.

She didn't act with Alicia, she ran out secretly this time.

........

On the outskirts of the city, a temporary rescue point.

"This is what she asked me to bring to you before she died." After telling the whole story, Fuling looked at the ground, her eyes evasive, and she didn't even dare to look at the woman named Yilan.

"She said she will come see you again in the next life..."

He killed that woman, the woman named Tia.

"Please raise your head." Unexpectedly, the woman named Yilan calmly took the necklace and nameplate, and then said to Fuling.

After hesitating for a moment, Fuling raised her head and looked at the woman who was treating the wounded just now.

Yilan looked at Poria and suddenly bent down.

"I'm sorry she caused you trouble. And, thank you."

Fu Ling was stunned. She did not expect that this would be the scene.

Yilan bowed to Poria and walked towards the tent where she had just been staying without looking back.

She knew that there was a note inside the necklace, which was written by Tia when she was asleep. She didn't know what the content was, and Tia just gave her a small key mysteriously.

And now, she finally knew what this little key was used for.

With trembling hands, she inserted the small key around her neck into the keyhole of the necklace. Yilan finally opened the necklace and saw the small note inside.

'Yilan, when you see this note, I must have sacrificed myself.I am not an adaptor of Honkai energy, so I am more dangerous on the battlefield. Although I am on the second line, I am still very dangerous.

My seniors asked me this before.She said: Do you regret it?

I replied: No, I don’t regret it.We are warriors, our enemy is Honkai, and we fight for humanity.Even if it means sacrifice, I will not regret it.

I was never afraid of sacrifice at that time.

But Yilan, after meeting you, I changed. I became afraid of death.I began to want to live. I no longer rushed to the front every time. I wanted to come back and see you one more time.

But, Yilan, I am a soldier, and soldiers will die on the battlefield sooner or later.

Yilan, I'm sorry, I didn't come back alive this time.

Let's be together again in the next life.

forget me...'

Her eyesight went dark for a while, Yilan looked at the note in her hand, and her body slowly fell down.

.........

"Yilan!" Another medical staff screamed from the tent.

"Quick, Yilan has fainted!" Listening to the movement in the tent, Fuling stood there at a loss. She didn't know what to do.

A pair of hands hugged her from behind, and Fu Ling turned her head and looked at the familiar figure.

"Cry if you want to." Alicia hugged Fuling tenderly and said softly.

She can understand.

"Alicia..." Fu Ling turned around and hugged Alicia's waist, tears finally flowing from her eyes.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Don't be afraid, I'm here." Alicia gently patted Fu Ling's back and comforted her softly.

"I, I know. But, but." Fuling choked, she felt really uncomfortable now, she killed someone, she killed someone.

"Be good, I'm always with you." Alicia patted Fu Ling's back like she was coaxing a child.

"Alicia, I feel so uncomfortable..." Fu Ling completely displayed her weakness in front of Alicia. No matter how precocious she was, she was still only a 13-year-old child.

"I know." Looking at Fu Ling distressedly, Alicia gently wiped the tears on Fu Ling's face.

She knew what it was like to kill someone for the first time, she had been there.

"woo woo woo woo."

The girl in her arms was still crying. At the age of 13, she experienced growth for the first time in her life.

Chapter 63: Defeat Honkai, we fight for this

"Xiaoling, are you feeling better?" Alicia looked at Fuling sitting in the corner of the tent holding a spear, walked over with concern, and sat next to her.

"Alicia, I'm fine." Fu Ling lowered her eyes slightly and looked at her toes.

Looking at Fu Ling who was depressed, Alicia took her shoulders and let her lie down on her lap.

"Alicia?" Fuling looked at Alicia who was so close, a little confused as to why she did this.

"When I was little, every time I was in a bad mood, I would find a place with no one and sleep quietly by myself." Alicia touched Fuling's head and looked at her tenderly.

"It's very effective. Xiaoling, do you want to give it a try?"

Seeing Alicia with a smile on her face, Fu Ling unconsciously relaxed a little.

"I don't want it." Poria turned her head and looked at the people coming and going outside the tent, and suddenly asked.

"That Yilan, how is she?"

"Huh? Her." Alicia followed Fu Ling's gaze and saw the medical staff running around.

"She woke up not long ago and is continuing to treat the wounded." Thinking of the job adjustment application submitted by the strong girl, Alicia hesitated and did not tell Fuling.

The girl named Yilan found her as soon as she woke up, and then applied to her to be transferred from the medical department to the frontline combat department.

She knew that Alicia, as the captain of the second team at the headquarters, had more power than the head of the branch.

She asked her why, and she said, since that guy died there without being bound by the agreement, then I can't be compared with her.

Alicia watched as the girl who was supposed to be holding a scalpel to save people took the knife and walked onto the battlefield.

"Then, from today on, you will be the frontline combatant of the branch."

"Thank you."

..........

"That's it." Poria whispered as she looked at the medical staff walking around outside.

"I'm sorry, I made you lose someone important."

Xiao Fuling didn't know what the relationship between the two was like. She only knew that they must be important people to each other.

"Alicia."

"Well, what's wrong?" Alicia lowered her head and looked at Fu Ling, who was lying on her lap holding a spear.

"Honkai, what exactly is it? Why does everyone want to defeat Him? Even if it means losing their lives?" Fu Ling turned back and looked at Alicia and asked.

"Honkai, some say it is a sudden virus, some say it is the earth's punishment for mankind, some say it is a test sent by God to mankind, and some say it is God's will." After a moment of thought. For a moment, Alicia spoke slowly.

"But no matter what it is, humans must defeat Honkai. Whether it is a virus, a punishment, or a test. Even if it is the god himself, humans must defeat it in order to survive."

"Xiaoling, do you understand what I said?"

"I seem to understand." Fu Ling nodded, she could understand what Alicia meant.

Humanity must defeat Honkai.

—————————————————————————— (Watch the sky at night, today is an auspicious day!)

"Our mission is over, let's close the team." Kevin looked at the team in front of him and asked all the members of the seventh team to return.

"Second team, close the team." Alicia asked the six members of her team to come back, and then looked at Poria beside her.

"Xiaoling, go ahead, it's over."

Poria looked at Alicia's smiling face, and her panicked heart gradually calmed down.
