Time in a collapsing world

"Hua, it's great that you're okay!"

As soon as Alicia came over, she hugged Hua's body and rubbed her head against her neck. Only the warmth of the other person's body could make Alicia feel her living breath.

"Hey! Alicia, stop hugging her. Her body is still very weak and cannot withstand the torture." Li reminded.

"I'm just giving you a hug, nothing will happen~" Alicia said, but her body honestly let go of Hua.

After counting the number of people in the first team, Li found that there were a lot less, so she asked: "Alicia, where are the others?"

"They are rushing to the transport plane with the remains of the fifth team members." Alicia explained, "Mei's order to us is to avoid fighting with the Herrscher as much as possible, and prioritize the recovery of the remains and assisting the survivors."

"Fortunately, you didn't encounter any accidents on the way..."

The accident Li said was the beast wave that accompanied the Honkai Impact. If they hadn't been lucky enough to avoid it, it would have been difficult for them to deal with it with their scattered manpower, and it might have been another disaster.

"By the way, there is a body over there. Let's find a few people to recover it." Li pointed to the place where Kanaka died.

Without Alicia's command, someone quickly ran over. Judging from the anxious looks on their faces, it was obvious that the only body that had not been found was someone they knew.

Alicia lowered her eyes, and she thought of Himihu who turned into the Herrscher for no reason.

"Li..."

Before she could say anything, the communicator hanging on Alicia's waist rang again.

As soon as the connection was connected, Mei's serious voice came over: "The Seventh Herrscher is currently in Lordan City and is having a head-on confrontation with the local armed forces. Please rush to support as soon as possible!"

Liya, who was close to Alicia, heard Mei's order and said helplessly: "It seems we can't rest yet..."

……

Australia, Lordan.

The local armed forces did have a confrontation with the Seventh Herrscher, but the battle ended quickly. The final result was that humans were unilaterally crushed, and both combatants and civilians were trapped in the city by fire. , and finally burned to death, no one survived.

The first team arrived first. Everyone looked at the raging fire that surrounded the entire city and the charred corpses of humans that were vaguely visible in the fire. Their hearts were extremely heavy.

The battle ended so quickly?

Everyone has this thought in their mind. From receiving the news to arriving here, it only took them more than ten minutes. In such a short period of time, the Seventh Herrscher was able to destroy an entire city?

"..."

Li stepped forward and put his hand into the flames. The burning sensation immediately spread throughout his body, but soon, the flames were compressed into a transparent ball, revealing the original appearance of the city.

Looking at the burns on his hands that were slowly recovering, Li sighed. If he wanted to take out the [existence] of the flame, he had to touch it, and this would inevitably happen in the process.

You still need to practice more... and strive to be able to store the target the moment it comes into contact with it.

Without the cover of the flames, more charred corpses were exposed in front of everyone.

Some of them are adult men, some are immature children, and some are pregnant women.

Each corpse maintains the posture of running away, as if the time of the body has been frozen in this moment forever.

Everyone in the first team fell into silence. Even those who had experienced hundreds of battles could not help but feel trembling when faced with this scene.

At this time, members of other teams rushed over one after another. When they saw the terrible scene in front of them, their reactions were not much better than those of the first team.

"Where's the Herrscher?"

One of the squad leaders broke the silence.

"I don't know. The battle was already over when we arrived." Alicia shook her head and answered his question.

"..."

Just when everyone was confused, each captain's communicator rang.

"The Seventh Herrscher is now in White City. All teams please rush to help as soon as possible..."

Before the complete order was given, the headquarters' correspondent suddenly stopped talking, and Mei's voice came over:

"There is no need to go for support. The battle is over. Within five minutes, White City was completely covered in flames and no one escaped."

"..."

Bad news came one after another. They had just arrived at the first city to be attacked, and the Herrscher had already destroyed another city during this time. Wasn't this completely caught up in the opponent's rhythm? !

Unless the Herrscher's next city can be predicted, it is only a matter of time before most cities in Australia will be destroyed.

"Mei, can you find out the Herrscher's current direction of travel?" Kevin asked.

"No."

Mei also said that she was helpless. The Seventh Herrscher moved in a very special way, and the Fire Chaser's detection equipment could not locate her position.

Things have reached an impasse.

Boom boom boom————

But at this moment, a huge movement interrupted their thoughts.

"Report! There is a new wave of beasts approaching our location!" A scout immediately reported to everyone.

Another beast wave?

Li borrowed a telescope from Alicia, and through it saw a wave of small beasts in the distance that was completely smaller than the previous wave. Li felt that any team could easily deal with them.

Everyone in the other teams thought the same way. The captain of the fourth team had a hot temper. He was already worried about not being able to find the Herrscher. He felt a suffocation in his chest and was worried that he couldn't find anything to vent. I didn’t expect such a group of gadgets to come to my door!

"My team and I will deal with them!"

Others have no objections. For them, this is just a small episode.

"Wait!" But before the fourth team could attack, Mei stopped them. "All teams should stay away from the path of the beast tide and let them pass."

"?" The captain of the fourth team did not understand Mei's intention, but he still obeyed the order and did not act rashly. It can be seen that Mei is still trusted by those present.

Under the command of each captain, all the teams evacuated the destroyed city in an orderly manner and came to a commanding height outside the city, watching helplessly as the beast tide passed through the city that was already riddled with holes.

"Mei, why?" Kevin was the first to speak out. He did not question, but simply raised doubts.

Mei didn't mince words and said directly: "I just thought of it. Since the emergence of the beast tide, they have been moving towards the 'core' of the seventh collapse. In other words, they are following the seventh law. By."

"So we have to find the location of the Seventh Herrscher through the beast tide?" Someone suddenly realized.

"Yes, their existence is indispensable in order to track the location of the Seventh Herrscher."
