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

"...What about destiny?"

Anna's intelligence was very high, and she was able to keenly find the loopholes in Lin Wei's words.

No, how could such a silly girl suddenly become so smart?

Lin Wei couldn't help but be Sister Li.

But looking at Anna's bright eyes staring at him, Lin Wei couldn't avoid it and said with a wry smile,

"This matter is not up to me..."

Lin Wei thought that with all the secrets she had, your bishop, who was known for his magnanimity, might not be able to tolerate her.

"It seems I should arrest you right here... Why are you telling me this?"

Anna gently raised her arms and fiddled with Lin Wei's collar, as if she was adjusting it, or as if she wanted to lock his neck.

As if looking for a reason to convince herself not to do it, Anna broke her promise and added another question.

If anyone dared to defy fate in front of her, she would have plucked out all his hair and would not have been named Shaniyat!

But now...

Thinking about what she had seen and heard during her time in the Snow Lotus Team, she found that she had lost this primitive impulse.

"Because you asked."

Lin Wei spoke the truth, he has always been very frank.

……

Forget it, considering that Lin Wei is so honest and frank, I decided to be willful.

"You said you wouldn't be my enemy, so keep your word..."

Anna reached out to straighten Lin Wei's messy collar, but suddenly realized that her action was a bit ambiguous. Her expression froze and she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

The action just now was so much like that of a wife to her husband that Lin Wei felt extremely embarrassed. He didn't know whether to accept or refuse. Now that Anna had taken the initiative to withdraw her hand, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter is getting more and more complicated...

Chapter 50: Pheromones and the "Queen Ant"

Here, the ambiguous atmosphere is as short-lived as summer dew.

The small world of two people can never compete with the cruel big world.

“Howl…Ah…”

The roars that did not sound like human voices gradually died down after rising and falling, and finally returned to a deathly silence. Only the clear breathing of the two people and the emotionless footsteps of the few constructs not far away could be heard.

But unfortunately, the tranquility here is only superficial. Behind the wall lies the purgatory of death - Anna and Lin Wei both know it;

Just like this seemingly beautiful world - only Lin Wei knows.

"Let's go."

Lin Wei called out, and the Valkyries coming from behind would let their bodies rest in peace again.

"And one more thing……"

Anna nodded slightly, then hesitated for a moment, drew the blade again, and carefully drew several horizontal and vertical lines on the door of the "tomb" where the man rested. Amidst the rustling sound, a pattern gradually formed, just like carving a tombstone.

Lin Wei could see clearly that it was a blooming lily, which was also the family emblem of the Shaniyat family.

"Unfortunately, I'm just a Valkyrie and don't understand the church's prayers. I can only offer flowers in this way..."

After Anna finished carving, she took a step back and said to herself in self-mockery,

"Anyway, I just hope he can rest in peace."

Anna felt extremely painful to see a brave soul with his own pursuits fall into evil in front of her.

"It's up to you to blame yourself."

Lin Wei's indifferent voice came from behind, which startled Anna. She was a little bit unbelievable about his indifference, and then she couldn't help but glare at him. She felt a chill inexplicably that she had misjudged someone.

Why can you say that?

"Privately investigating the truth behind the Honkai is something that is not permitted."

Lin Wei mercilessly exposed Anna's true thoughts, which she herself was unaware of, a sin-atonement mentality hidden deep in her heart, because -

"You, Tianming, have dealt with more than one person like this, right?"

Anna felt as if struck by lightning, her spine went cold and she broke out in a sweat.

"I want to remind you of one thing, Anna. This is not your sin. You don't need to bear it, and you don't need to atone for anyone."

Lin Wei's voice was calm and composed, like a bystander who was not involved in the matter.

"Untimely 'truth' will cause panic, panic will lead to chaos, and chaos will ferment and cause greater panic and even greater chaos, which will eventually get out of control and cause even more deaths. While his courage is admirable, the outcome is already determined once he embarks on this path."

In a world racing against the end of the world, "justice" has always been a luxury.

After a pause, Lin Wei's voice softened.

"You always have to carry something in life, but you have to learn to distinguish what you should carry and what you shouldn't. Take on what you should bear and refuse what doesn't belong to you. Only in this way can you move forward. Otherwise, Anna, you will be crushed by yourself one day."

Lin Wei was helpless to suddenly play the villain.

Although all the Herrs in this world are stubborn, Anna is the only one who has consumed herself from beginning to end.

Although Mei Raiden is also suffering from serious internal conflicts now, she is lucky to have met Kiana who is willing to joke with her and share her burdens, so now she can indulge in her own little happiness.

Since we have met by chance, I will try my best to save you.

Of course, forget about the little happiness. A blow on the head is more suitable for a bad guy like me.

"You and I……"

Anna was flustered. She suddenly understood why she was so impulsive and why she said "I'm sorry".

"Okay, time to go."

After Lin Wei finished showing off, he wanted to run away. He thought that since he had just said so many harsh words, Anna's inexplicably rapid enthusiasm should have subsided a little.

Tsk, feeling that he had gone too far, Lin Wei despised himself in his heart.

"..."

Lin Wei walked in front, and Anna followed silently behind. After the shock of the sudden blow subsided, she felt extremely aggrieved for a moment.

What gives you the right to say that to me?

The tone is still so bad, the expression is still so bad...

The two walked further and further away, and the place returned to dead silence, like a grave, leaving behind only an unqualified "tombstone" and a not-so-beautiful flower, silently conveying the insignificant feelings of the two who left.

……

Continuing down, Anna cheered herself up to protect Lin Wei. There was still an eerie silence here, which made Anna feel uneasy.

This underground base is like an inverted pagoda, with layer upon layer, and each layer has a roughly equal area, just like mass-produced products on an assembly line. It feels rather perfunctory and the guards are quite lax.

Lin Wei once thought that this was one of Jackal's biological laboratories. After all, she was the only one who liked to do biological research, just like the hole she dug underground in Sky City.

However, thinking of the Jackal's base in Sky City that was entrusted with an important mission, Lin Wei suddenly had a sense of enlightenment.

The reason why it is a den of dragons and tigers is because there are ravens guarding it.

And if Raven is off duty...

Let's put it this way, after Raven captured Kiana and took a break from work, he was able to infiltrate Mei, who was being humiliated every day...

(ノへ￣,)

World Snake is just like this.JPG

Even the important bases are so lax, not to mention this unknown "nest" at the moment.

However, Lin Wei did not let his guard down. Rita's previous experience was a lesson... No, the next one... was also wrong...

Anyway, just cheer up!

Lin Wei had been observing his surroundings carefully. Compared to the previous floor which was divided into "rooms" and "cages" of varying sizes, this floor seemed much more spacious, with only some plots of land simply separated by markings. It was messy but not chaotic, with some empty tables and chairs scattered around, as well as some impressive-looking experimental equipment and several equally empty culture chambers in the corners.

The overall look is quite like a deserted laboratory. According to Anna's investigation, there are no signs of life on this floor. At the same time, there is also a high level of Honkai energy reaction, which is on par with the previous floor.

There is no further increase in concentration and energy level, so this is considered "good news"?

Lin Wei had asked Anna about this. According to her, the first level of Honkai energy would cause ordinary people exposed to it to quickly develop Honkai disease and subsequently die in agony.

According to her, every time there is a collapse disaster, many such corpses can be seen on the roadside or in rooms in the peripheral areas.

The concentration of the second layer has already crossed the limit and will make the corpse "come back to life" and turn it into a dead soldier.

"Lin Wei, do you know? Every time a Honkai disaster breaks out, there are always many Honkai beasts of all sizes in the center. Some are as tall as several stories, while others are as small as a mosquito."

Since she knew that Lin Wei had a deep understanding of Honkai's existence, Anna didn't mind talking to him more, and even used her arms to gesture to him vividly, as if sharing some secrets.

"But the dead soldiers are rare, because the situation there basically can't withstand such a fierce energy impact, and they are basically reduced to ash! However, correspondingly, some dead soldiers with high evolution and high threat levels will be born, which are different from what we just saw."

Anna couldn't describe to Lin Wei what that kind of assassin looked like. After all, the figures and looks of those monsters were often very beautiful, and she felt that she couldn't explain it clearly in a few words.

Lin Wei nodded in understanding. I know, Alicia did a good job...

"And in areas farther from the center of the Honkai eruption, many, many 'dead warriors' will be born, like the walking dead. In the outermost areas, many people will die from the Honkai's erosion. Perhaps not turning into monsters is a lucky thing for these victims, right?"

Anna smiled bitterly, her expression showing some sad sympathy.

Humans are really fragile...

She just briefly introduced a few things and did not give a complete explanation.

This concentric circle-like structure only existed for a short period of time after the Honkai erupted, as monsters would roam and spread. Furthermore, Honkai beasts and the Death Warriors were themselves sources of Honkai energy, which would disrupt its distribution and further spread contamination to the outside world.

Therefore, professionals like the "Valkyrie Corps" are needed to clean up and suppress it in a timely manner to prevent the further spread and diffusion of the disaster.

"Only those with strong resistance to Honkai can survive in such an environment, so every Honkai results in heavy casualties."

Anna couldn't help but look at Lin Wei again. After all, men were even rarer.

Lin Wei deeply agreed.

Every time there is a collapse, the first sudden burst of energy can filter out 90% of the people;

The lucky survivors have to avoid being strangled by monsters everywhere in the sudden confusion and fear.

The only ones who can survive in the end are absolute geniuses who can fight their way out of the siege with just a baseball bat. There are only two such people in the previous and current civilizations combined.

More are the lucky ones who waited for rescue in agony while struggling to survive.

And this process will kill another 90% of people.

Lin Wei was very glad that he did not have the habit of procrastination and fled Changkong City early, otherwise he would have just died in the pile of ashes flying all over the sky.

Precisely because he clearly knows how insignificant he is, he never acts arrogantly, let alone thinks that he will become the protagonist of this world.

"In that case, the survivors should be on a floor not far from here, and there may be more of them than we expected..."

Lin Wei touched his chin and said to himself,

"After all, this is a man-made Houkai environment, controlled by constructs that serve as 'worker ants.' Those who can withstand Houkai radiation won't be killed by monsters here, and their chances of survival are much higher than in a natural environment."

Haha, the mechanical coldness and ruthlessness are very consistent with the style of World Snake.

"..."

Anna felt upset when she heard this. What does that mean? I have to say thank you, right?

Anna felt a little resentful.

You are really not a good guy!

"I just wonder what kind of torture awaits these unfortunate 'lucky ones'? I don't believe they have any good intentions."

Lin Wei sneered.

Deception, abduction, coercion...

The World Serpent will stop at nothing to collect victims for its experiments.

"..."

Anna felt less hateful and thought that this guy might not be a bad person.
