Genshin Impact: Beginning Strategy Guide for the End of the World

Aponya knew the answer after hearing this, and she lowered her head sadly. Behind her came another cute girl with pink hair.

"Let me see, who is chatting here?~"

Chapter 149 "Disease"

Alicia pretended to look pitiful.

"Oh, what a beautiful girl. Ying~ How could you know such a beautiful girl but not introduce her to me? Aren't we best friends?~"

Sakura was speechless.

"Alicia, your best friends probably number over a hundred million."

"Don't be so subtle, Sakura. I know you're just saying one thing and thinking another, but I'm still hurt."

Aponia was a little overwhelmed looking at the enthusiastic Alicia.

"you......"

Alicia watched Aponya speak and introduced herself enthusiastically.

"Hi?~ Let me introduce myself again. I'm Alysia, you can just call me Aili. You must be the Aponya, right? I've been waiting for you for a long time. You must be very nervous staying in the Fire Moth alone. How could those guys leave a weak girl here? It's so careless. Don't worry, I'll take you to get familiar with the surrounding environment."

Sakura interrupted with a frown.

"Aliceia, she is not a guest."

"I know, but what does it matter? Don't be so nervous. In my opinion, she is just an ordinary and weak girl. And she happens to have some misunderstandings about the Fire Moth. Isn't it the best to take this opportunity to eliminate the prejudice between each other and deepen our understanding? And, Sakura, you will keep it a secret for me, right?"

Sakura was speechless.

"I have brought the person back. I have to go back and report. Goodbye."

Alicia said with some regret.

"Oh, what a shame, Sakura left in such a hurry."

Alicia came to Aponia.

"Forget it, there will definitely be another chance in the future. Hello, Aponia. I know that the Fire Moths don't have a very good reputation outside, but in my opinion, everyone here is just an ordinary person who is doing their best to keep civilization going. Believe me, okay? Here, this is a friendly handshake, right?~"

Aponia and Alicia

"Talk to me about anything, Aponya."

Aponya was a little embarrassed.

"Ms. Alicia..."

Ellie replied enthusiastically.

"Don't be so formal, just call me Ellie?~"

Aponya asked in surprise.

"Aren't you... afraid of me?"

"Afraid? Do you think I will stay away from you because I am worried that your beauty will overshadow me? No, I like beautiful girls the most."

"Ms. Alicia, since you know my experience, you should understand what I want to ask, right? The reason why I am here is because I am a sinner who is about to be judged. My crimes are too numerous to list..."

"Sinner? But what I see before me is just an ordinary girl with a heart full of sorrow. No matter how others judge you, I can see at a glance that you are fundamentally a person who tries his best to be kind."

Aponya let out a long breath.

"But I... brought disaster... If I hadn't taken in those people suffering from the Honkai Disease, perhaps nothing would have happened."

"It's not your fault. Even if you hadn't taken them in, the Honkai would have broken out somewhere else. You just did what you thought was right."

"The right thing?"

Aponya laughed at himself.

"Hehe. They believed in me like this, and then, even though their diseases had been cured, they became the source of infection that everyone feared, and eventually met with destruction... Miss Alicia, have you seen the smiling faces of children? Small and tender. They appeared in front of you defenselessly. If you have seen such scenes many nights, perhaps you will understand how I feel now. There are a total of seventy-three names... Just a day ago, they would surround me and beg me to tell them stories. They just gave Qianjie a gift. Although Qianjie said it was ugly, he also wore it on his face. The children's lives are getting back on track little by little. If there is still time, they can go to school, make other friends, and live a better life. But now, everything is burned to ashes. I remember every one of their faces, and that is... my sin..."

Ellie looked at Abonya's self-blaming face and showed a rare serious expression. She held Abonya's hands tightly and spoke seriously.

"Aponya, can you listen to my thoughts? I can't persuade you to let go of that tragedy. Perhaps that would mean betrayal to you. However, I hope you know that the disaster was not caused by you. It just happened to you. So, don't be trapped in the cage called "the past" anymore. Because those children still need someone to remember their names."

"Aliceia..."

Ellie smiled gently.

"Yes, that's right. Not only do you remember many names from the past, you will also encounter new names. So, don't make that expression anymore. It would be a pity if you don't smile with such beautiful eyes. Come on~ smile~"

Aponya was silent for a moment and then smiled faintly.

"Ellie..."

……

……

……

"Dingling bell~Dingling bell~"

"Snapped."

The man put one hand on the alarm clock to turn it off. He opened his eyes and started his daily routine. After cleaning up, he touched the photo frame on the bedside and left his residence.

Five years ago, a disaster occurred in Changkong City, and the entire city was almost destroyed. His good friend, Kevin, also disappeared in that disaster. Since then, "Honkai Disease" has been born all over the world... To this day, the government has not announced the cause of the disaster. Purple stripes will appear on the patient's body, and the organs of the body will degenerate and eventually die. The cause of the infection is unknown, and the treatment is unknown. The mortality rate... 100%.

"Annie, how are you feeling today?"

The girl smiled lively.

"Doctor Su!"

Su was taking notes silently.

"Blood pressure is normal, temperature is normal. The purple lines haven't changed either."

The girl who had just seen Su Qingre greet her suddenly felt sad.

"…Doctor Su, other doctors said I have the 'Honkai Disease'. I heard that this disease is incurable… Am I going to die soon?"

Sue said gently as she placed one hand on Annie's head and rubbed it, and wiped away her tears with the other hand.

"Don't worry, Annie. Your condition is not getting worse. I will definitely cure you."

……

In the afternoon, when Su was doing rounds, his teacher Farin suddenly found him.

"Su, bed number 5's condition has suddenly worsened. He has acute heart failure. The purple lines have spread to the heart. He needs surgery immediately."

There is no cure for "Honkai Disease", and one can only try to cut off the part where the purple stripes have invaded, just like treating cancer. However, at the moment of cutting, the erosion speed of the purple stripes will suddenly increase.

Farin looked at Su with a serious face and told him the heavy reality.

"It's too late. The whole heart has been corroded. Stop, Su. The operation has failed..."

After the operation, Su collapsed on the floor of the hospital corridor.

The professionals of the Fire Moth also follow the procedures to recover the bodies of patients with the "Honkai Disease".

Su also talked to him about the application he had submitted for the Fire Moth, which was rejected as expected.

Farin threw a can of coffee to Su and asked with concern.

"Su, you're finally back. You talked with the people from Fire Moth for a long time. What did you talk about?"

"I submitted an application to them before to join the Fire Chaser, but unfortunately I was rejected."

"Huh? Join that shady organization? It's been five years, and they haven't announced the treatment plan. Either they don't want to announce it. Or... there is no treatment plan at all."

Su said seriously.

"No matter how slim the hope is, I want to give it a try. There are still many patients waiting for me. As long as I work hard, it will be possible."

Farin also stood up and patted Su on the shoulder with a smile.

"Come on, I believe in you, Sue. That's a disease with a 100% mortality rate. If it were someone else, I would have advised him to give up. But for you, maybe it can trigger a miracle. But you must take care of your health, and don't work late at night and exhaust yourself."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Farin..."

the next day……

"Doctor Su! Come to Ward 18 quickly. Annie's condition has worsened."

"Su...doctor...save me."

Su squatted in front of the bed.

"Don't be afraid, Annie, hold on!"

……

Sue was washing her face in the bathroom when he punched the sink hard.

"Damn it. I haven't saved a single patient in the past two years. What kind of doctor am I? How can I help Kevin in this state?"

Kevin once told Sue that he was in the Fire Moth and expressed his hope that Sue would join. But later, Kevin lost contact with Sue, which put Sue under great pressure. Sue wanted to help Kevin.

"call……"

After taking a long breath, Su calmed down and returned to his office. At this moment, a phone call came in the office.

"Su, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?"

"You know, teacher, I stay up late every day to study the 'Honkai Disease'. By the way, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Farin hesitated to speak.

"It's nothing. Although you are still young and healthy, don't push yourself. Also, come on, Su."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Su in a daze. After hanging up the phone, Farin looked at his old friend beside him.

"Spacie, how long can I live?"

"Six hours. Sorry, judging from your condition, Honkai energy will consume your entire body within six hours."

"Can you grant me one wish? Su, I'll leave him to you."

……

The next morning, Su found that his hospital had been surrounded by a cordon. Just as Su was about to cross the cordon, members of the Fire Moth appeared immediately.
