This is the end of a catastrophe.

There was no celebratory dinner, and no laughter. The survivors were covered with only deep grief and despair. The coming of the end has taken away many, many of them, and many of them have lost the motivation to live because of it. But in the process of escaping, they meet each other, and a new bond is formed.

But now? The team of hundreds of survivors was wiped out in the soul storm, and only a dozen or so survived. Everyone has lost many, many things again—friends, partners, loved ones who didn't die at the hands of the apocalypse and mutants......

Who should they resent them? Who can they resent against?

They can't do anything but curse this last days.

Because...... They are ordinary people.

"It's dead, my wife is dead...... Damn, I said I was going to protect you, why am I still alive? A middle-aged man fell to his knees helplessly, trying in vain to pick up the non-existent remains. The dragon magic used by the underage dragon lich is not very powerful, and it is far inferior to other dragons in terms of power and range. But for these ordinary people who have no power, this bit of power is enough.

"Dad......" The ordinary-looking capable girl couldn't cry. The family is not unlucky. The end came and the mutants didn't take any of their members, and she also awakened her abilities in a crisis. Under her protection, the family escaped danger again and again. The family has always had hope for the future, hope to be able to live together, hope to live and work in peace and contentment again.

As it turned out, this was just a wish. Their good fortune is finally over. Mom died in the soul storm, and there was not even a trace of dust left.

"Where's Mom and Dad? Why is Mom gone? The ignorant little Shota tugged at his father's sleeve and kept repeating questions that would never be answered.

"It's all my fault...... If I can awaken the ability, if I am strong enough......" The middle-aged man muttered to himself as if he hadn't heard his son's words.

"Brother, mom, she...... It's gone. ”

"Gone? What is that? I want my mother, I want my mother to ......" Xiao Zhengtai flattened his mouth and cried suddenly.

Coquettishness can't bring back the lives that have passed.

"Kiyo. Is this the future you see? The fat man looked lonely at the weeping crowd and asked.

"No...... The future has been changed. ”

"The original future is the end of total destruction?"

Yu Mo nodded.

"Wipe it all out...... This kind of ending is better than being wiped out completely. ”

Yu Mo didn't speak.

Life was so fragile that he shuddered. The person who was still looking forward to a peaceful life a moment ago disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Leaving only one unattainable dream. To be honest, there was a moment when he resented Xu Tianshi who had saved them, but this resentment was quickly erased from his mind.

and dying miserably at the hands of mutants, this painless death is already the greatest gift from God.

At least, the dead don't despair.

But what about those who are still alive?

All that's left is despair.

Wish. Where the hell is it?

Where is it!

"Mourn, human. The dead are dead, but you are alive. Sia, who fell to the ground, sighed. In her long life, she has seen many such life and death. No matter how much they experience, they will still be sad for them, and they will never get used to it.

"You're an angel, aren't you? Can you resurrect them? Yu Mo held a hint of delusion, looking forward to the authentic. Don't all angels, have the power to raise the dead?

"I'm sorry, I'm a holy angel, not an angel of resurrection."

"Yes......" Yu Mo sighed in disappointment and stopped talking.

"Hmm. The time is coming...... Senior, let's go back. ”

"No, I'm going to stay for a while." Brunhilde gently looked at Chu Yuan, who was in a trance, and Fit, who was unconscious in his arms, and said firmly. With a throne Valkyrie leading, it's only a trivial matter to return to the throne at Valhalla. But she doesn't want to go back now, there are still people here that she can't let go.

"Well, that's fine. She has brought a lot of new blood to our people, and it is necessary to take care of her. And the world ...... There is a value for large-scale stationing. "Unbeknownst to some Angel Maiden, a new race with the name of "Bloody Divine Angels" is growing rapidly. Many of the Divine Angels of the Killing Instinct have skewed into this race, including several newcomers who have a high hope of entering the Eternal Wings. Sinapus also evolved the Angel Pool of this subordinate race. I believe that it will soon develop to a certain scale.

"You're going to have Icarus come with the army?" For some reason, Brunhilde subconsciously wished it wasn't. This should not be a battlefield for the holy angels. If you do it, it will have very serious consequences. It's a no-brainer. Suddenly it appeared in her heart.

"Huh? Senior, don't you know? The speaker of the ruling parliament has recently disappeared. Not only her, but also the two deputy speakers of Nimfu and Asteria are also missing. The current Acting Speaker is Milthemis, the same person as me. Sia looked at her senior with a puzzled expression.

"It's been a long time since I've been back to Valhalla...... By the way, what about Hiyori? The acting speaker should be the deputy speaker, right? ”

"Hiyo Senpai, I just entered the throne before me. Now I'm bored and crying. ”

“…… How can she enter the throne, but the armistice agreement is presided over by 'she' herself, and the dragon clan can't break it. ”

"Well, I can't say, she's going to cry to me...... It's really funny to say, the clockwork of the 'Queen of Sorrows' was misaligned, and as a result, half of Sinapus was blown up, and even she was sent to the throne...... Wow, people said it! It's over, Hiyori Senpai will be crying in front of my eyes! ”

"......" Brunhilde was speechless.

"Woo, I don't want to go back to Valhalla. Senior, you leave me ......" Before she could finish speaking, her whole body turned into dust.

“…… I will pray for you. "Alas, all the holy angels of the first issue have left the decision-making level. Well, it's time to hand over power to the next generation. It's just that...... Icarus, the three of them would have disappeared? Will the always careful sunset make the clockwork misaligned? How can this kind of thing smell of conspiracy so obvious.

At this time, Xu Tianshi, who was finally dressed, walked out of direction No. 2. Embarrassed, Brunhilde just nodded and flew back to his lair with Chu Yuan.

“…… I'm sorry! Xu Tianshi glanced at the three people who had left, and then bent down deeply at Yu Mo. This "I'm sorry" didn't make him feel better, and he wanted these people to beat him up. Because of him, the tragedy will play out. If he hadn't intervened, these people might not have died.

The possibilities are endless.

"No need to apologize. There's hope in life, isn't it? Yu Mo hurriedly helped the boy up.

Maybe. There will be.

"What are you going to do in the future? Still going to Vault Seven? Xu Tianshi smiled bitterly and changed the subject. The other party can forgive him, but he can't forgive himself.

"I'm going, for those who didn't make it."

"Get in the car, let's go."

―――――――――――――

"You're going to Vault Seven?" The young man with a face full of wind and frost marks groaned. Asked. This is the third day after the "Red Devil Direction Mountain" incident, and it is still about a day away from Vault Seven. It was a team of "soldiers" who were rescued last time who spoke, but they just looked more like children.

"Well, how?" Yu Mo looked at him with some confusion.

"I advise you, don't go." The young man pondered for a while. Told the truth. He knew that if he returned with other abilities, he should be able to make up for some of his own mistakes, and maybe he could escape punishment. But he didn't want to fool people. Anyway, everything is speculation, and perhaps the punishment of death is still unavoidable. In that case, why bother with your conscience?

"Huh? Why? The fat man was stunned for a moment.

"That place is a fire pit, and whoever goes in it is unlucky." The girl with the scar on her face sighed and said.

"Why do you say that, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than the Killing City." The ordinary-looking girl is puzzled. Under the threat of mutants and bloodline awakeners, they have to abandon the small village they have managed to clear. At the beginning, they also discussed whether to go to Vault Seven or Killing City. In the end, there was no doubt that the former was chosen.

As long as you are not a madman, there is only one way.

"That's where we came from." The young man said with a wry smile.

"Herui, let's talk about it in detail." Xu Tianshi frowned. There may be members of the Super Red Lotus Regiment in Vault Seven and the Land of Fantasy, and even in the City of Killing, and he must check them out. Just looking at the way this person looks, it seems to be the exact opposite of what is said on the radio?

"It's fine. You should know what is playing on the radio, and 80% of what is said in it is true. Food and shelter were indeed plentiful, and the number of capable people before I came out was 1,326. Among them, there are also seven extremely powerful abilities, and even many bloodline awakeners are not their opponents......"

"There's nothing wrong with that." The long-haired girl Chen Nini couldn't help but interject.

"Listen to me. Vault Seven looks wonderful, but it's actually just imprisoning us in disguise. Everyone who goes in will be given a vaccine, and according to them, 'you can never worry about blood awakening'. But all that vaccine has is nanolocators and viruses. The culprit that you can never get rid of. And there is no freedom there, and if you want to get food and shelter, you have to carry out the tasks assigned above. ”

"This ...... It's better than having no food to eat. Xu Tianshi remembered the original military region settlement.

"Really? What if I told you that the so-called 'mission' was to be the test specimen of those scientists? He Rui's face was mocking.

"No......" everyone was stunned. This is also outrageous, when the test subject? Who's going to do it!

"What he said was true. It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary person or a capable person. It's all just experiments in the eyes of scientists. They say it's 'necessary work for the future of humanity,' but in fact they just want to gain more power." Very few people who were test subjects survived, and my brother disappeared in the research institute. The Scar Girl spoke with hatred.

"There's not just one way to go, right? That would be long gone. Xu Tianqing pointed out the loopholes in the girl's words.

"You're right, there are three ways to not test a subject. One is to participate in the 'recruitment' of other survivor settlements, the second is to fight the group of people in the Killing City, and the third is to sell out the hidden abilities in their team. Besides. There is no fourth way. ”

"That's not right, the incompetent want to resist? And what is that recruitment? ”

"Rebellion? There were. Can you imagine? Before the revolution, there were more than 2,000 capable people! Scar Girl exclaimed excitedly.

"Vault Seven is led by the scientists, and below them are the men we call the 'Seven Lackeys'. Of course, the official title is 'His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas'. Below, there are the capable ones under them. I suspect that the vast majority of those who are now capable have been brainwashed. He Rui pressed the scar girl and said to everyone.

"One Piece...... This one aside. I still have a doubt, why do people with such strong abilities listen to scientists? The reverse is pretty much the same. Xu Tianshi shook his head, threw a certain straw hat rubber man out of his mind, and asked with a frown. Will the capable listen to the scientists? It's not scientific.

"Who knows, that's how it is. However, my predecessors desperately got the news that the seven lackeys were no longer themselves. ”

"Well, what about recruitment?" Not yourself...... Also brainwashed? There are too many abilities, there is this possibility. Zhang Yifan was so strong at the beginning, wasn't he still being manipulated.

"Recruitment...... Our exploration of the Red Devil Direction Mountain is a prelude to 'recruitment'. After getting the details of the other party, it is the large army to go up and 'recruit'. It's okay not to accept it, and the settlements that have been destroyed are a good example. "Herui is gorgeous, it's all mockery.

"Hmm, to put it simply, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish?"

"Yes."

"Well, I have a question too...... What's that weird joint code? The fat man asked weakly.

"This ...... No one really knows. Having said all that, where do you still want to go? ”

The crowd was silent. (To be continued.) )
