Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

2015年5月22日，4:00am。

A serious collapse occurred in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. This was the largest and most devastating collapse in Southeast Asia to date. Although no Herrscher was born, the disaster almost destroyed the entire city, with the death toll reaching more than two million people and about three million people being infected to varying degrees. Secondary disasters caused nearly ten million residents in the city and its surrounding areas to be displaced.

After the outbreak of Honkai, Tenman immediately organized a rescue operation and deployed 42 Valkyrie teams, totaling 174 people, and successively dispatched more than 5000 rescue teams of various types.

As Jiang Ming is currently the strongest A-level Destiny Knight, he is naturally one of them.

......

St. Freya Academy.

Jiang Ming, who was wearing glasses in class, suddenly saw a string of words in front of his eyes. To be precise, it was on the high-tech glasses that Tianming gave him. Like Fu Hua's, Tianming could use this pair of glasses to issue tasks to the Valkyrie silently. Although Jiang Ming just thought that the glasses were high-tech after all, so he just wore them for fun, he didn't expect to receive the task by chance.

"..."

Jiang Ming, who thought Otto was just bored and teasing him, now looked as if he was thinking and frowned as he looked at the task in front of him, while some Valkyries who were attracted by Jiang Ming looked at him with enjoyment.

"Look, look, classmate Jiang Ming is wearing glasses."

"Woo, woo, woo, he looks even gentler. I really want him to touch my head... I can touch him, too."

"He's so handsome when he's serious, and so cute when he's troubled while thinking. Is this what contrast cuteness is?"

"Jiang Ming?"

Teacher Ji Zi's voice brought Jiang Ming back to his senses from his thoughts.

"What happened?"

Ji Zi frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Ming. Because there were many people in the Tianming headquarters, except for Otto's mischief last time, Jiang Ming, who was far away in St. Freya Academy, should not be needed normally. But now he received a direct task from Tianming, which shows how serious the situation is.

"It's a mission from the Destiny Headquarters. A major collapse has occurred in Manila, and the situation is very serious. Destiny requires me to go there immediately for support."

Jiang Ming stood up and spoke quickly. Seeing his rare serious look, Ji Zi immediately allowed him to go to the mission location. After getting permission, Jiang Ming gave Mei and the others a reassuring smile and left the classroom. After leaving the classroom, Jiang Ming disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"What? Another mission abroad. I really envy Jiang Ming."

Kiana lay down on the table and stared at the book in front of her in boredom.

"I am the only one who has to learn this knowledge that I can never learn no matter how hard I try..."

"Okay, Kiana, didn't Ming just say that the situation is very serious and it's a very dangerous mission? In addition, Teacher Jizi has repeatedly reminded us in class that the primary mission of a Valkyrie is to protect the people, not just to complete the mission."

"besides......"

"Kiana! Listen carefully! Answer this question!"

"Stupid Kiana, don't you know this kind of question?"

"Ahh...Jiang Ming, please come back soon!"

At least when he was asked to answer a question, Jiang Ming would always tell him the answer directly in a special way, and even tell him the "why" clearly...

......

"..."

Jiang Ming looked at the transport plane that seemed to have already landed at St. Freya Academy for two seconds in silence, then boarded the plane following the pilot's instructions.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Master Jiang Ming."

"Oh... the Bishop's arrangement?"

Jiang Ming couldn't help asking as he looked at the huge transport plane with only himself and the pilot.

"Yes, Lord Jiang Ming."

"..."

Jiang Ming sighed heavily in his heart.

They sent people from the Destiny Headquarters to look for him, but it seemed that even the Undying Blade was not dispatched, and there was no S-class Valkyrie...

No... Doesn't he think that I can quell the Great Honkai Impact by myself?

"..."

I habitually look at my personal panel.

"Forehead......"

The strength of the Herrscher is at its peak. Three genuine divine keys, it seems... not impossible. No, no, if you think about it carefully, Otto might want to use this great collapse to test my background. Tsk, how could I let you succeed so easily? I'd better use the strength and weapons I used when sparring with Youlandel. Although Jiang Ming doesn't quite understand how strong he is now when he goes all out...

"......"

Let’s not talk about the others for now, your fourth one is really problematic!

..........

"Master Jiang Ming, we are here."

The pilot stopped the transport plane high in the air and said.

"......"

"Aren't you going to join me?"

Jiang Ming looked at the pilot half-jokingly, and the pilot didn't seem to notice that Jiang Ming suddenly said this, which seemed different from the serious side of the rumors. However, he just closed his eyes and rested on the plane, and didn't talk much to him. Even if he talked, he just asked some questions about the collapse of Manila. Are the big shots really fickle?

The driver didn't dare to offend him and could only smile politely.

"Thank you for your love, Lord Jiang Ming, but if I go, it will cause you trouble."

"I see... Oh, by the way, let me ask you something."

"What is it, Master Jiang Ming?"

"Was it the Bishop's arrangement that you parked the transport plane nearly 10,000 meters away from Manila?"

"Um... Lord Jiang Ming, you don't know, the collapse there is really very serious, I really..."

"Okay, okay, I won't embarrass you, but please allow me to ask one last question."

"You say, Lord Jiang Ming."

"If it was Youlandel standing here right now, would you drive closer?"

"......I will, Master Jiang Ming."

"Okay~"

......

"Your Majesty Bishop."

Yulandel walked into the bishop's office and asked.

"Why not send the Indestructible Blade to Manila?"

"Okay, Youlan Dai'er, calm down. Didn't I send Jiang Ming for support? Or do you not trust him?"

"This is not a question of belief or disbelief. It is clear that sending the Indestructible Blade can solve the problem more quickly."

"Lord Yulandel, I think the bishop must have some intention in doing this."

Seeing Yulandel, who was too straightforward, like this, Rita quickly stood up and spoke.

"That's right, Yulandel."

Otto nodded politely, then said with a thoughtful expression.

"It's about the Serenity Gem."

"The Serenity Gem? The Herrscher Core at that time? Wouldn't that be snatched away by the white-robed man who suddenly appeared?"

"Lord Youlandel, I think what the bishop meant is that Lord Jiang Ming has some relationship with the man in white robes."

"You mean they are... in the same group?"

Yulandel couldn't help but frown and asked, but Rita said nothing, just shook her head slowly.

"This Honkai event is of great importance. Although no Herrscher was born, it is still the largest Honkai event in Asia so far. Moreover, there is extremely rich Honkai energy there..."

Otto looked at the surveillance video in front of him where Jiang Ming's figure appeared.

"I believe the truth can be revealed this time."

......

Manila, Philippines.

In fact, Jiang Ming could reach a distance of nearly ten thousand meters in just a few seconds. He just relieved his nervous mood before the battle. Tianming should have already sent in the Valkyrie rescue team, and his role was more of an assist.

On the transport plane, Jiang Ming asked the pilot about the situation in Manila.

Manila is not only the capital of the Philippines, but also a city with a long history. It has only two seasons a year and the temperature remains at around 28 degrees Celsius throughout the year. It is a clean and tidy tropical garden city and an international commercial port.

But when Jiang Ming arrived in Manila, he found that the prosperous city described by the driver was now in ruins. The skyscrapers that once towered into the sky had become dilapidated and in ruins.

The originally well-connected harbor roads have become dilapidated. Large numbers of white and purple monsters and dead soldiers can be seen walking on the streets. This is just the situation when Jiang Ming has just entered the outskirts of Manila. The driver said that the number of ordinary people infected to varying degrees has reached one million. Even if only more than half of them have become dead soldiers, the number is still very terrifying. It seems that he has underestimated this collapse.

......

"Open the sword and thunder!"

Amidst the chaotic lightning, Jiang Ming quickly cut off or chopped in half the dozens of assassins in front of him, and then kept looking for something in Manila city.

“Ho ho ho—!!!”

"roll!"

An excited dragon roar sounded, and after knocking the alloy chariot Honkai beast in front of him away with one punch, Jiang Ming raised his left hand above his head.

"Master the Five Thunders - Thunder Explosion!"

Dozens of thunder balls with a diameter of two meters appeared in the air. With a wave of Jiang Ming's hand, all the thunder balls smashed towards the surrounding Honkai beasts. Violent explosions sounded, stirring up clouds of dust, and a large number of holes were blasted out on the ground by the explosion.

But at this moment, a large shadow covered Jiang Ming's position. Looking up, he found an alien patrol-level Honkai beast right above his head. Its huge body and the momentum of soaring in the sky made people feel terrified.

When this type of Honkai beast is in the air, the effect of general attacks is minimal on it, and in its mouth, there are a large number of small shuttle-type Honkai beasts hidden. In some cases, the patrol-level Honkai beast will first release the small shuttle-type Honkai beasts and command them to attack or defend. Only after they are all eliminated will the patrol-level Honkai beast fall down and continue to attack.
