Chapter 61: What if I die too?

Ryan finally agreed to Mobius. He was a very proud man and didn't like to owe favors to others. Anyway, his body had not fully recovered, so he had to rest for a while.

After the third Honkai, the world will usher in great turmoil. Doomsday believers and alien cults will emerge, and it will be a world of chaos and the crime rate will soar.

After discovering the truth, ordinary people will either panic or become dejected, because they can do nothing but act on instinct.

Those who are more free and easy will enjoy life while they can, those who are more far-sighted will start stockpiling supplies immediately, and smart people will stockpile guns and ammunition. As the saying goes, if others buy food, I will buy guns, and my neighbors are my granaries.

The evil in human nature will be fully exposed, and Ryan is not interested in being a hero everywhere, because if the fundamental problem is not solved, good people will sooner or later become bad people, unless you exterminate mankind.

Therefore, if one wants to change the trajectory of fate, the research of Mobius and others becomes more important. For example, the Fusion Warrior Project has made great progress after the last research.

However, he didn't dare to stay in Mobius operating room. Thinking of the woman's capitalist appearance, he gritted his teeth and insisted on being transferred to the general ward.

"Haha, I told you that you can't escape from my grasp." Mobius looked at Ryan who was pushed away in a wheelchair, drank a sip of coffee with a satisfied look on his face, and then she saw the door of the operating room open.

A girl with blue gray hair was dozing off in a chair. When she heard the sound, she jumped up suddenly, unable to hide the surprise on her face.

Humph, this little girl's name is Hua, right?

Mobius originally comfortable eyes suddenly became sharp, and a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then when Ryan turned his head to look, she covered his face with the coffee cup.

Murderous intent?!

Ryan turned his head quickly and saw Mobius drinking coffee, looking as if he was not involved.

He didn't think much about it and just looked at Hua who was walking towards him.

The girl's eyes were full of worry, even a little distressed. She leaned over, gently stroked the bandage with her fingers, and whispered:

"Brother, are you still in pain?"

It sounds like nonsense, but it is filled with deep concern.

"For warriors like us, pain is a common thing." Ryan forced a smile and then frowned again, "Life goes on and the fight never stops. You don't think that a hard fight can defeat me."

"Of course not. You are the winner and the hero who saved Changkong City. Because of your arrangement, at least half of the people survived." Hua shook his head quickly, his eyes full of admiration, but soon dimmed: "But you have to bear all the pain."

Only half of the people?

Ryan frowned at first, then relaxed his brows. In the original world line, tens of millions of people in Changkong were killed. This result was already good. Of course, they would die sooner or later, but isn't there a "sooner or later" here?

"If the sky falls, the tall people will have to hold it up. This is the responsibility that comes with strength." Ryan did not brag. He looked at the girl in front of him with a faint smile.

Hua body was a little dirty, and she had two thick dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had experienced a drastic change and was exhausted, but the girl still managed to hold on and showed no signs of Honkai.

He reached out his hand and stroked the girl's face as she stepped back slightly. The touch was smooth and delicate, just like stroking an egg, but Ryan didn't think too much about it and just wiped the dust off her.

"It's your growth that makes me both worried and happy."

"I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you..."

"What is there to apologize for? Stick to your beliefs and walk your own path firmly. This is the essence of martial arts."

Ryan didn't know what Fu Hua looked like in the original world. Maybe because of him, the girl in front of him had changed a little, but some things had already penetrated into her bones and would never change.

"Well, I understand!" Hua eyes gradually widened. She was actually very satisfied.

Personal strength can be ignored in this catastrophe. Without Ryan, Carol would definitely die, and he himself would most likely not survive. Even if he survived, he would hide in the ruins like those people, waiting for the Fire Moth to rescue him.

But this time, she was a savior. Although her power was small, she did save hundreds of people.

"I understand. Push me out for a walk."

"good."

Klein was very tactful. she gently pushed Hua wheelchair and went to the deck along the slightly undulating corridor.

The slightly fishy sea breeze blew in, and Ryan first saw the bright sunshine, and then the calm waves. A few seagulls were flying in the sky, creating a tranquil picture.

But when he looked around, he saw dozens of warships, missiles constantly launched into the air, whizzing away into the distance, and then a helicopter landed on the rear deck of the medical ship, and a medical team in full protective suits rushed up.

The smell of blood and screams could be heard, and wounded soldiers with missing limbs were carried away on stretchers.

The sea breeze was cool. Ryan looked towards the land and saw large columns of smoke rising up and ruins on both sides of the Pujiang River. Rescue teams wearing helmets were searching among the ruins. Occasionally they would dig out a few bodies, but occasionally they would be attacked by sudden assassins.

Da da da.

Rapid gunshots rang out and then quickly disappeared.

Hua pushed the wheelchair and looked at Ryan quietly, and found that the latter's expression was very serious and familiar. After thinking about it, wasn't it the same look that Ryan had when he was observing the crowd at the snack street that day?

I remember his answer at that time was: Looking at people.

The girl raised her head and watched several more missiles take off like meteors, and finally understood what Ryan meant.

If you don't look carefully, some people will disappear in the blink of an eye.

In just a few days, the world had changed so much that she couldn't piece the ruins before her back to their original state.

"It's cruel, isn't it?" Ryan asked suddenly, bringing Hua back to his senses from his depression.

"Yes, I don't know what happened to Ms. Wen, and I don't know how many classmates in the class ran away. Brother, you know, sometimes knowing the truth in advance is not necessarily a good thing." Hua gradually clenched his fists and spit out what he had hidden in his heart these days.

"I know about this Honkai, but I can't do anything to change it, and I haven't even saved many people. This is really painful!"

Ryan remained silent. Not only did he know it, but it was a hundred times more painful for him to speak of it than for Hua, because he knew that the world would end, and even if he could create a different future, he would not be able to protect most of humanity.

The time was too short, and he was not powerful enough to become a god on the spot and kill the Ruler of the End with a single slap.

"At the very least, you saved hundreds of people, and you have done your best. This is what destiny is all about. Don't aim too high. Even if you only take a millimeter forward, it is still a step forward."

Ryan talked to himself, not only to enlighten Hua, but also to enlighten himself.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You can do as much as you can. As long as you are moving forward, don't feel guilty. If you really can't figure it out, go play your mobile game. Time will always tell you the answer."

Hua stared at him, and her conflicted expression slowly faded away. She was very obedient and felt that Ryan was right.

If you have the power to save the world, then do it decisively. If not, then use all your strength and do your best.

"I figured it out. As expected, as long as you are here, I won't be confused."

"What if I die too?" Ryan asked subconsciously, then he felt silence behind him and turned his head away with some confusion.

He saw the girl staring at him, biting her lips, with a rare look of fear on her face. She had never shown this expression even when facing Marichi.

What if my brother died too?

Hua pupils contracted and her grip made her handles creak. She found that she could not imagine that outcome, yet she felt that this sentence was extremely true.

I almost died because of this man.

"Uh, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Hua came back to his senses, anger appeared on his dazed face, and his tone became serious: "This is not funny, brother, you are not allowed to say such things."

It was so serious that Ryan felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't think much about it, because Fu Hua was born with the physique of a doomed star, and most of the people she had a good relationship with had died. The burning of her memory by the Eighth Divine Key was a pain but also a relief for her.

"Okay, I'll walk you to the end."

"You promise?"

Ryan thought to himself how can I guarantee this? I am not immortal and I will not die no matter what I do. But when he saw the girl's sharp eyes, he nodded subconsciously.

"Okay, I promise, no matter it's Herrscher or whatever, they won't take my life."

"That's more like it."

Hua let out a long sigh and continued to watch the missile launch with Ryan, but that joke was like a needle piercing his heart and he couldn't get rid of it.

After this incident, she knew that Ryan was not invincible, and she experienced the terror of the Herrscher, so she made up her mind.

"Brother, I suddenly made a decision."

"You want to join the Fire Moth, right?" Ryan had already guessed that Hua was never a person who backed down.

"Well, I don't want to hold you back, and I'm not afraid of taking risks." Hua answered seriously, and added in his mind:

If the world really ends, at least I can die before you.

Ryan didn't know what she was thinking, but the truth had been exposed and it was basically impossible to persuade her to go back.

"Okay, go back and settle your master first, and then join the Fire Moth. I'll let the higher-ups know which unit you want to join."

"Captain Himeko likes me very much. Can I go to her place?"

Ryan had heard her talk about Changkong, and also knew Himeko, whose character and professional qualities were impeccable.

"Okay, I'll put her under my command for now, and I'll find a way to transfer her later."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, you always let me be."

"You rarely act on your own will anyway, so it's okay to satisfy yourself occasionally." Ryan smiled, then looked at the 'fireworks' that were being launched continuously from the opposite side, and gradually fell silent.

I'm almost there, so it's time to join the Fire Moth.
