(Eat it with the BGM "Red Town Soul Song" related to the work, the flavor is better)

Mo Li didn't expect that this was the most suitable time for Hanama Yue to talk to herself, on the third day of her apocalypse, Xue Ying's team participated in the rescue mission of the nearby survivor base 400 base, it is said that it was originally a very simple task, because there would be other survivors Mo Li did not go with him.

But then came the news that the third-order zombies that had destroyed the 401 base and then disappeared appeared in the 400 base, and then Xue Sakura returned.

There were twelve search team members when I went, and when I came back, there were still twelve, but when I came back, there was a boy with a strange expression, and only the corpse of Hanamazuki was brought back.

The Empress of Flame, who has always been inseparable from the flower moon, was unexpectedly calm, and let people carry the stretcher with the body of the kimono girl lying flat towards the crematorium of the base without looking back.

The last days are not left for survivors to remember their deceased comrades, once they die, if they bring back the corpse, they must be burned immediately to prevent the corpse from changing, even the flower between the moon with no wounds all over the body and only a heart pierced by a sword. No one knew how this woman, known as the strongest in Base 402, died, only that the emaciated Flame Empress was actually pushed out by the frightened crowd in the chaos of the third-order zombie slaughter survivors, and Hanamatsuki rushed out at that time.

No one expected that in the end, Xue Sakura stumbled under the helicopter with the already cold body of Hanamazuki, disobeyed the order of the base leader and directly abandoned the mission goal of the rescue mission at that time, and returned with her own team members and a boy who was also abandoned and trampled on from the chaotic crowd.

Hanamatsuki's funeral was simply held within ten minutes of the news spreading, and only all the members of the search team led by Xue Ying and Mo Li participated in the funeral, and Greed was unexpectedly present.

"I didn't expect this woman to end up like this." Greed looked at the raging flames, and there was no emotion in his eyes except regret, let alone sadness, "Died of his own weapon." Suicide? ”

"Who knows...... This. Mo Li felt an inexplicable tingling pain in his heart, and remembered what Hua Jianyue said to him under the stars that night...... If the abnormality of Hanamatsuki was discovered at that time, would the ending be changed? And the two conditions put forward by Hua Jianyue seem to be a net woven by her own life, which encompasses everyone's fate.

Hanamatsuki is very strong, this cognition has always been rooted in the ink centrifugation, this woman is even stronger than Yun Xue Ying, who is the sixth sense awakener, so who can kill her? And there was only one person by her side at that time.

[First, please forgive Xiaoxue for whatever she does wrong in the future.] 】

Mo Li's right hand grabbed the wrist of his left hand, and the thought was fleeting in his mind. It's impossible, it's impossible for Yuki Sakura to be a killer under the moon among the flowers. Sure enough, it was suicide. Didn't think of it. That's what she meant when she said she was leaving.

The long-haired girl standing in the front row was alone with her comrade's weapon, perhaps having seen too many of the same sad things, and now she stared at the burning flames devouring the body of Hanamazuki without sorrow or joy.

Suddenly, the Japanese sword in her hand fell, and the whole person collapsed and rushed to the fire.

"Captain?!"

"Snow Sakura!"

Moli and Greed are the quickest to react. One left and one right suppressed the girl who looked like a struggling little beast and dragged her back to a safe place away from the flames.

Yukizakura struggled to rush through, but couldn't break free from the arms of the two awakened no matter what, and bit the greedy arm like a mad infected person biting his flesh with one last bite. But the man only frowned, and his expression of pain did not show any pain, and he still locked Xue Sakura's shoulders tightly.

Moli hugged the girl from behind who was in pain and went crazy, wanting to pass on his power to her.

I probably knew that I couldn't do anything about it. Yukizakura slumped on the ground, first her shoulders twitched violently, and then she cried loudly, her hands pinching her greedy wounds so hard that she almost fainted.

"Ahh

Terrible screams resounded throughout the crematorium. Helpless and hopeless.

The screaming Xue Sakura was like Mo Li, who had lost Di Qi at that time, heartbroken and had lost the direction of progress, and could only vent the pain in her heart with her voice and tears to temporarily free herself from the suffocating pain. It was as if it was a reincarnation, and the tragedy that had happened to Mo Li was verified by her disciple.

At this moment, Mo Li seemed to know the choice made by Hua Jianyue.

The demon fox smiled wryly. The flower moon won, completely won. She could no longer refuse the woman's request before she died.

"Greed." Mo Li gently stroked Xue Ying's hair, and coldly shouted his name to the man who was watching his wound in a daze.

"Huh?" Greed looked up lazily.

“…… It's nothing. ”

"Hmph."

――――――――――――――――

Day 7.

On a desert not far from the 402 base, a woman in a trench coat and a girl holding a Japanese sword walked together, strolling in the yellow sand as if enjoying a desolate scenery.

"Are you leaving?" The Flame Empress's originally tense face showed a reluctant smile, which looked very grotesque.

"Well, there will still be a chance to meet in the future." Mo Li reached out and rubbed Xue Ying's hair, rubbing the smooth black hair until it was too bad to look at it.

Xue Ying finally smiled helplessly and reached out to pat off the fox claws that were raging on her head, "That greedy guy left without saying a word, and I always have a premonition that I will never see him again." ”

"Maybe next time I'll come and visit you with his spiritual seat—"

"Little Sister Li......"

"Just kidding." Mo Li took a step back in the face of Xue Ying, the wind blew her hair scattered, she had to pin her messy hair behind her ears with her hands, and the girlish temperament standing in front of her changed dramatically, less lively and cheerful but a little more silent.

Silence, like the moon among flowers.

Mo Li's sharp eyes softened, those who survived will always inherit something from those who have passed away, and continue to walk firmly on their own path with this bond that even death cannot break. Maybe it's a shackle that will lock up the ever-changing future, but no one will go back and regret it.

"I'm gone, goodbye." Moli's smile disappeared with the wind and sand. On the desert, it seems that only Yuki Sakura is standing alone from beginning to end.

The girl stood on the edge of the desert for a long time, and finally the smile on her lips disappeared.

"Farewell." The last sadness in Xue Ying's eyes disappeared, replaced by a determination like ice, and she turned back to the base where she would never leave in her life, and her slender figure gradually disappeared into the yellow sand.

――――――――――――――――

On June 11, 2013, the deputy captain of the seventh team of the ace search team of the 402 base of the large survivor base, Hanama Yue, died in the line of duty, and the whole team was buried, and the seventh team refused to accept any mission for a week to remember his comrades.

Yunxue Ying, known as the Empress of Flames, was officially renamed "Zhongli Loveless" for unknown reasons. And on the same day, he took the only survivor of the 400 base who was attacked by the third-order zombies to go through the adoption procedures. Adopted as his own adopted son, he was sheltered by the base, and his name was "Zhongli Innocence".

On January 3, 2014, Zhongli Wuai participated in the spear competition of the large survivor city "Tianyu City" and won the championship. In the end, he refused to join Tianyu City to enjoy higher treatment, and said that he would guard the 402 base for life according to his friend's dying instructions.

On February 20, 2015, the 402 base encountered a zombie frenzy, and the Flame Empress Zhongli Wuai was forced to lead the team, including eleven members of herself, to resist all the zombies on the back of the 402 base, and finally all ten members of her team were killed.

The Flame Empress eventually refused support from the base's higher-level helicopters. Shoot yourself.

At the age of eighteen, the strongest firefighter eventually passed away with hatred for the world, and his body was transported back to Base 402 for cremation and burial in the public cemetery of the survivor base, and the tombstone was not signed.

This tragic and disparity battle was later called the "Eleven-Man Funeral Battle" by the later search team, and Base 402 was also controversial because of the oppression of the Flame Empress.

On May 14, 2015, the adopted son of the forgotten Empress of Flame, Zhongli Wuxie, founded the largest religion in the post-apocalyptic world, Hecate. Hecate. The goddess of night, ghosts, and magic.

Zhongli Wuxian did not participate in the struggle between humans and zombies for the rest of his life, did not encourage the survivors, and was simply established for his beliefs. Commemorate the fallen Empress of Flame. But it is such a religion that has the strongest faith in the last days, and they believe in the 'salvation of the soul,' and they are steadfast.

On February 20, 2016, Base 402, which had been hit hard by a zombie frenzy two years ago, was at the peak of its strength. Attacked by unknown monsters, the eight-headed giant snake has razed the second-largest survivor base of the post-apocalypse in just half an hour. The leader of the base, Ye Batian, is missing.

His body was eventually found in the only undamaged public cemetery, the headless body was covered in snake bite scars, and the head and a bouquet of white roses that would never have existed in the last days were sacrificed to the owner of the tombstone in front of an unnamed tombstone.

On October 7, 2017, the third major mutation of the virus, the third-order zombies became the mainstream, and human beings began to be unable to resist the attack of the evolving zombies, and the survivor base and survivor city decreased at a terrifying rate of more than five per day.

The largest religious site of the last days, "Tianyu City", was devastated, and Pope Zhongli Wuxian refused to evacuate the survivor city, and when the food supply and ammunition were cut off, he led the congregation to burn himself in the cathedral en masse.

On March 2, 2018, the last survivor base on the earth was declared destroyed, and mankind officially withdrew from the stage of the end times, and the end of the earth finally came.

The first year of the last century.

The nameless tombstone group in the desert ushered in the only mourner.

A woman in a beige trench coat with a bouquet of fiery roses stood for a long time in front of the blood-stained tombstone, surrounded by third-order zombies constantly wandering, but no zombie dared to approach the dangerous woman.

She finally smiled and placed the rose in front of the grave, and there was an extra line of sharp words on the tombstone that had been eroded by the years before leaving-

Death is not the end of time, but the beginning of reincarnation.

―――――― caputuro――――――

Red, burning, lonely fire

Gently, drape the white veil over it

One day one of the people will be alone

The engraved memory is as deep as pain

The pure white world, that's all

Connecting to blend the original colors

The day of the reminiscence of the firm vow is full of thoughts

Pray to ascend into the sky, and the opposite of zero is bonding

Over here

`

The meaning of existence, the meaning of parting, the meaning of the end

For the first time, I understand it all

Loss, peace of mind, remembrance

`

The day of the reminiscence of the firm vow is full of thoughts

Pray to ascend into the sky, and the opposite of zero is bonding

Always by your side

As long as the blood gushing out is still red

Please deep down, please

Inherit that pride and love

`

Then now it has subsided, and now, she is gone

Offering this town soul song, now, she is gone

――――――――――――

Okay, it's the author's annoying time at the end of each chapter, and this time the epilogue is K's "Red Town Soul Song", with some changes to change the last "he's gone" to "she's gone", as the final elegy for the Flame Empress. Hua Jianyue's death was buried here as a foreshadowing, and her meaning to Xue Ying was like Di Qi's to Mo Li, Xue Ying finally stayed in the 402 base according to Hua Jianyue's last wish until her death, and finally ended up with an ironic ending.

Xue Ying represents the spiritual leader of the end times, she was not killed by zombies but forced to death by her fellow human beings, and human beings wiped out the spiritual leader of the end times with their own hands, so it is not far from extinction.

This chapter is very concise and does not have much detail, and I think that a king like Xue Ying, who really has the courage to live in the last days, does not need to be embellished with too much sad language, and even those numb survivors need to remember her. At least two people will remember her forever, and that's enough.

And the real effect of the chapter "The Tragedy of the Last Days" is that it is a chapter in which Moli completes his final transformation.

If Di Qi gave Mo Li a reason to live, then Xue Ying gave Mo Li a real goal to struggle for and accomplish - to subvert the ending of the end times. Mo Li's relieved smile in front of Xue Ying's tombstone at the end, as well as the epitaph she left for Xue Ying, all show that she did it.

Finally, may the soul of the Empress of Flame rest in peace, and you are the eternal queen of the last days!

ps：

The tragedy of the end of the day, which was originally planned to take two or three chapters to end (laughs), is over like this, and I am afraid that I will be called a stepmother if I write it in too much detail, as the first week of the end times, the role of this chapter is - all kinds of bento, and the twin flowers on the set next door welcome you xd (hey!)
