Time in a collapsing world

"Alicia!"

Mei's voice recalled Alicia's thoughts. She looked at the Seventh Herrscher who was about to recover in the distance and Li lying alone on the ground. She took a deep breath and finally replied:

"Copy that, I'll retreat immediately."

"Huh..." Mei on the other end breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Alicia would rush towards the Herrscher if she couldn't think about it.

"The rest of the people have evacuated, Alicia, please hurry up too."

"Ok."

Taking one last look in Li's direction, Alicia turned around decisively and ran towards the nearest support helicopter.

"Damn ants!"

Pulling out the arrow from the chest, billowing purple liquid immediately flowed from the wound. The Seventh Herrscher was furious and covered the area with flames again, but the people inside had already escaped, so they covered it this time. A lonely person.

Now there was only herself in this area and Li, who had almost lost all her breath.

Staring at Li's closed eyes, the Seventh Herrscher waved his hand, and the flames in the air quickly fell down, like a rain of fire.

Holding the final funeral for this traitor with such a large formation was in line with his status as an apostle of God.

The flames enveloped the body of the Seventh Herrscher. Her mission was not completed yet. There were still so many ants that she needed to purify. Now was not the time to relax.

Before the rain of fire fell, the figure of the Seventh Herrscher disappeared, and she was now on her way to the next city.

"..."

But the moment the Seventh Herrscher left, the dead Li's right hand covered with dark stripes suddenly moved on its own and grabbed him on the chest, as if he had grasped something firmly, even though There was absolutely nothing in that hand.

[I] don’t want to die yet.

Li's eyes suddenly opened, revealing the black and white eyeballs inside.

He lay on his back, watching helplessly as the rain of fire in the sky gradually approached him. He suddenly raised his other hand and grabbed a small ball in the air. The next moment, his entire body disappeared from here. .

Fire rain fell, and scorching magma also occupied this last piece of pure land. This was a funeral specially held by the Seventh Herrscher for someone, but the protagonist of this funeral disappeared midway.

……

"Dr. Mei, Captain Alicia has also retreated safely."

"Ah."

Mei looked at the area covered by magma. How could she tell that this was a prosperous city before?

"Dr. Mei, Mr. Li, he..."

"I know." Mei interrupted him, "The fusion warrior Ri died heroically. All members of Fire Chaser Moth should always remember his contribution to the fight against Honkai."

"What's Dr. Mebius saying? She's throwing a tantrum in the office."

"I will explain to her that I am partly responsible for Li's death." That's what Mei said, but there was no regret in Mei's eyes, only regret, because in that case, Li's attack was the best choice.

"...Dr. Mei, what should we do next? The Seventh Herrscher is so powerful that our current firepower cannot resist it."

"Restart the fusion warrior plan and it will be implemented by Dr. Mebius personally. I believe she will consider the overall situation."

"What about...the experimental subjects of the plan?"

"Captain of the second team, Kevin."

……

Australia, somewhere where the Fire Chasing Moth combat team settled.

"Miss Alicia, here, drink a glass of water first."

Sitting next to Alicia, who was depressed, Hua acted as a comforter. Even though she was the only survivor of the fifth team, she felt very uncomfortable at this time.

But...she didn't want to see the people around her look as sad as herself.

"Thank you, Hua." Alicia took the water glass and showed a stiff smile to Hua.

"...Miss Alicia, Mr. Li is a hero."

"Well, of course he is a hero."

"He saved me and everyone present." Hua said slowly. She knew from Alicia's mouth that if Li hadn't used his ability before dying, then the people present might have been killed. All the troops will be annihilated.

"But everyone here thinks that I saved them." Faced with the many warriors who expressed their gratitude to her, Alicia had already explained that it was not just her credit for injuring the Seventh Herrscher. But they just looked at each other and laughed it off. Only Hua, Kosmo and other people who knew Li were willing to believe her.

"People mostly just want to believe what they see, and we don't need to forcefully change their minds."

"..." Hua fell silent. It was obvious that she didn't know how to respond to this kind of question.

"Hua, don't worry too much. Since other people don't recognize Li's contribution, then we just need to remember it~?" Alicia suddenly smiled with relief. As the person who was originally being comforted, she actually turned to him. Hua comforted.

"Mei has agreed to help us hold a big funeral for Li. You must be there when the time comes. Li is very fond of you~?"

"I will." Hua looked at Alicia's flawless expression. Unlike Li, Hua's sixth sense could accurately tell her how bad Alicia was feeling at this time.

"Captain Alicia, Dr. Mei has issued a new order." At this time, the captains of other teams broke in and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Dr. Mei asked each team to spread out and help evacuate residents of all nearby cities. If you encounter the Seventh Herrscher, just retreat without fighting."

"I know." Alicia stood up, "Which city is our first team in charge of?"

"Please look at the map." The captain marked Alicia's location on his mobile phone. It was the farthest place from here and one of the most prosperous cities in Australia.

"Vero City?" Alicia murmured. She remembered that she had heard the name of this place before. It seemed that some famous singer was going to hold a concert here?

"Okay, let's set off now." After confirming her mission, Alicia was ready to gather her team members and dispatch quickly.

"Hua, do you want to follow me too?" Alicia turned to look at Hua who was following her and asked.

"Well, we have to save more lives before Herrscher." Hua nodded. She did not evacuate because she was not assigned the task, but actively chose to join the battlefield again.

Just because she had personally experienced the pain of having everything taken away by the Herrscher, she wanted to save more people.

"Well~ Then don't fall behind~?"
