Five years of collapse and three years of simulation

Chapter 682 Never Coming Back
In 2010, in Europe, in a certain military base of Destiny.

At this time, Ji Zi has been a Valkyrie for four years, and has already passed the novice stage with her extraordinary talent, and has become a real Valkyrie.

One night, Jizi, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened, and Captain Ragnar was standing beside her bed.

"Captain?" Ji Zi just woke up from a deep sleep, his head still feeling a little confused.

"Received the notice, we should go to a place to perform a mission, and there are still two hours before departure to prepare as soon as possible."

There are eight people in the dormitory of the military base. Less than 10 minutes after the captain came in, the eight Valkyries including Ji Zi all woke up and got ready to go.

"This task is a routine defense change. Don't be nervous, just go on as usual. You still have one hour, two and 10 minutes to prepare."

Ji Zi and his teammates began to prepare weapons, dry food and other houses. They still don't know where the destination of the mission is at this time.

Two hours later, a transport spacecraft set off from the sky above the base, aiming for Siberia.

Now more than nine years have passed since the second collapse, and Destiny still keeps sending people to find something.

The Valkyries who came to Siberia to carry out missions all kept silent, both their whereabouts and the goals of the missions were all confidential.

In the early morning, the transport ship had arrived in Siberia.

There is a camp established by destiny here, and the Valkyries return here for supplies when they perform missions in Siberia.

"More than nine years and almost ten years have passed since the second Honkai, but there will still be an existence like an emperor-level Honkai beast on this great enemy."

"Our task is to search for the emperor-level Houkai beast and destroy it."

Captain Ragnar stood at the front of the queue and said: "At the same time, there is intelligence that there is a fugitive from the Mandate of Heaven, Siegfried. If we find traces of this person, we will also capture him."

Ragnar only talked about the most superficial mission, and only she knew the real mission.

Some time ago, there were two incidents where thieves broke into the core area of ​​the Tianming headquarters.

The criminals stole a clone of Destiny, and their coming here has a lot to do with the stolen clone.

Of the nine Valkyrie squads, only the captain, Ragnar, has the appearance of the stolen clone.

A thin, white-haired little girl with dull eyes, which made this girl look a little abnormal.

Ragnar is just a Valkyrie squad leader, and has no idea who this girl is, she just needs to obey the orders of her superiors.

The sky outside the camp had already brightened, and everyone set off from the camp with the same mentality as usual to clean up the Houkai beast.

"Did the second Honkai really happen here?" someone in the team asked.

Ji Zi replied: "It happened here. According to the records, Destiny expelled all the left-behind Valkyries and left the Second Herrscher on this land."

"The Destiny also had to fire all the weapons in the arsenal before successfully killing the Second Herrscher here."

The Valkyrie replied: "We were young at that time, do you remember, anyway, I don't have any memory at all."

The discipline among the Valkyries is not as strict as that of the ordinary army, and the captain will not talk about chatting during the search.

"You were all under seven or eight years old at that time, right?" Ragnar said, "At that time, I was only preparing for the Valkyrie. Even so, we took over part of the defensive tasks."

"At that time, the whole world was uproarious, and there were not many living people in several big cities since the second collapse."

"I remember this!" Someone raised his hand and said, "I vaguely remember what was said on TV, it seems that a meteorite fell or something, and it was caused by Herrscher."

"Captain, captain, have you seen the Second Herrscher up close?" the team member asked Ragnar.

Ragnar pursed his lips and shook his head, slapped the nearest team member on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I want to meet the Second Herrscher head-on, can I still be your captain?"

The team member who was slapped looked back at the captain and said in surprise: "That's right, if the captain can see the Second Herrscher, he won't be our captain now, there must be a specially organized Valkyrie team!"

"You can talk."

Ji Zi became a Valkyrie at a relatively late age. Apart from the captain in the team, she is the elder sister who knows how to take care of others the most.

"Captain, in this world of ice and snow, can we really catch the fugitive?"

Ji Zi walked at the end of the line, just in case any accident happened.

Of course Ragnar thought it would be best if nothing happened, but he definitely couldn't say that.

"The information was given by the superiors. How could it be wrong? We will be operating in this snowy field for the next month, and we can only return to the camp once a week to resupply. All of you are doing very well."

In the harsh environment, many Valkyrie teams didn't have supplies if they wanted to. They could return once a week and the situation was considered relatively good.

Meanwhile, in a small town on the edge of Siberia.

In a wooden house that doesn't look too good, the girl in the photo is sitting in a corner with her legs crossed.

One of her eyes was covered with a cloth, leaving a light blue eye.

There was only one wooden house, with a stove in the middle, and a man with an unshaven beard and decadent eyes sat on the other.

They evaded the pursuit of Tianming many times, and after the help of many people, they came here today.

The man could have gone to a better place, but stubbornly chose to live in Siberia because... this is where his wife died.

His wife has passed away for ten years, and he has become very decadent because of his wife's death, and he has played on the Floating Island of Destiny many times.

Some time ago, with the help of his wife and sister, he broke into the Fate Floating Belt again and brought the little girl out.

The girl stared dully at the simple room, which eye was clear and bright, but it seemed to be out of focus, without a trace of expression.

She was just like a beautiful and thoughtless doll, not talking, expressionless, just sitting blankly.

In order to bring this girl to escape from the Floating Floating Island of Destiny, he lost a lot and was injured himself.

Teresa was imprisoned by Otto, the bishop of destiny. Two of the family's elders who helped him died on the spot, and the family brothers were also caught by the Valkyries.

Meanwhile, his daughter... was not rescued.

Siegfried felt that the whole world was black, without a single ray of light, and he hated himself very much, why he didn't have the strength to bring his daughter out.

The power that was able to explode during the second collapse could not be stimulated at all. He seemed like a useless person.

On the other side, Ragnar's team was resting with their backs facing the blizzard, and there were traces of a battle just now.

The body of the Honkai Beast fell to the ground, and the team members bandaged each other and treated the wounds.

Looking at the vast snow field, Ji Zi prayed to find the fugitive of destiny as soon as possible.

If they couldn't find it, their team would have to stay on the snowfield for a month, which would be too tortured.

There are also two younger sisters who have just become official Valkyries in the team. Their first mission is so difficult, and their luck is not too good.

"Jizi, what are you thinking?" Ragnar walked to Jizi's side and asked.

Ji Zi shook his head and said, "I'm wondering why fugitives would come to such a place, people who have the ability to escape from the floating island, obviously can..."

"Shh." Ragnar raised his finger and said, "Some things can't be said casually. You don't know that your violent temper has affected you a lot, or you would have been the captain of the team long ago."

"I don't want to be a captain." Ji Zi said, "As long as I can be with Ragnar all the time, it doesn't matter what the captain is."

"You!" Ragnar smiled helplessly: "With your talent, you can already command the fleet to fight. It's a waste of talent to stay with me."

"The matter of the collapse has gradually become known to ordinary people, and our task in the future will gradually change from attacking from the small team to maintaining the safety of the masses."

"At that time, you should stand in the rear, farther away from the front line, and it will be safer."

Ragnar is the four years that Himeko becomes the first person Valkyrie meets and fights with as her captain.

From maintaining stability at the Tianming headquarters at the beginning, to disaster relief at the place where the collapse occurred, and then going through various assault missions.

During the four years, there were easy missions and extremely dangerous missions. The two of them did not know how many fatal attacks they had blocked for each other.

Of course Ragnar wanted Jizi to stay in the safe zone behind.

Besides, there are indeed more commanding talents than fighting talents, and it is only in the rear that Jizi can display his greatest talents.

This is also where Ragnar felt sorry for Ji Zi. He could become a genius doctor, but he insisted on transplanting immature artificial stigmata and becoming a front-line Valkyrie.

"Captain, what are you talking about?" Ji Zi complained, "No matter what difficulties you have experienced before, you have never heard such depressing words. What happened today?"

"This is the first day of the mission, isn't it...?" Ji Zi asked, "This mission is extraordinary?"

Ragnar said: "That's the end of today's chat. I'm going to check on Hailiana's condition. She's a little seriously injured."

Ragnar's dodging and not answering has proved a lot. How could Jizi, who is as smart as Jizi, not know that this mission is not an easy one.

But the Valkyrie has already stepped onto the battlefield, so there is no reason to retreat.

Jizi can only take Ragnar with her when she is hurt.

"Sigh, it doesn't matter. It's not the first time I've performed a difficult task. Ragnar must want to hide, so I can't think too much about it."

……

No matter what happened before, life must go on.

Siegfried has recently faced a big problem, that is, Siberia is too cold.

The wooden house they lived in had an air leak. He was fine and could handle it, but the little girl he brought back died, with a fever, and looked very serious.

Because the child who was exactly like his own daughter didn't speak, Siegfried didn't know whether she was sick because of the temperature change, or was frightened when she evacuated the floating island.

In order to be a competent father, Siegfried read a lot of books about raising children before Kiana was born.

Many children are surprised and also get sick.

Anyway, since he brought the girl out of the floating island, Siegfried must take care of her.

Although he fled to Siberia, the connection between Siegfried and Teresa has not been broken, and Walter, the leader of anti-entropy, is also willing to help Siegfried.

The town I live in has existed for a long time. The young people in the town are all out to work, and there are only old people in the town.

Siegfried bought a house that his family had just moved to the city without spending a lot of money.

The original family of the house had old people and children, so there was no need to specially decorate their own room for the little girl.

In line with the idea of ​​being responsible for the rescued girl, Siegfried specially bought clothes for the girl and returned some toys.

But because this girl is so similar to Qiyana, Siegfried is a little reluctant to see her.

So during the day, Siegfried is either drinking or going to the snowy field to find the lonely Houkai beast to fight.

Until night, with a body covered in bruises, he returned to the room drunk and menacing.

A week later, the little girl's condition improved a lot, and her eyes were no longer dull.

When Siegfried returned home covered in injuries again, the little girl stood at the door to greet her.

"Who are you to me?" These were the first words the little girl uttered.

The second sentence is, "We look so alike, you must be my father, right?"

At this time, K423 did not have a complete idea. When I was on the floating island, I was soaked in the experimental cabin every day, or was subjected to various experiments on the training ground.

To be able to say these two sentences, K423 has used all his thoughts, so he stuttered very much.

Hearing the little girl call him father, Siegfried felt a little anger welling up in his heart, but it quickly dissipated.

This anger was originally directed at the girl, but the child was still young and she didn't understand anything, so Siegfried could only be angry with himself.

So Siegfried knelt down and said to the little girl, "Yes, I... I am your father."

Destiny's investigators didn't seem to have guessed that Siegfried would escape to live in a small town, and they still sent out many teams to search in the snow field.

The Valkyries kept moving forward and fighting in the ice and snow.

Siegfried's side has stabilized, and the little girl seems to be more and more like a normal little girl.

It's just that the grudge in Siegfried's heart is still there, he can't treat this child like a normal person treats a strange little girl.

But every time I go out, I also bring some dolls and food to K423.

"Dad, I read in the book today that every child has not only a father but also a mother. Where is my mother?"

Siegfried squatted in front of K423, held her in his arms and said, "Your mother...is sacrificed."

"Sacrifice... what is it?"

Siegfried trembled with heartache at this moment, but he couldn't vent to an innocent child, after all, she wasn't the Second Herrscher!
"Sacrifice is...never coming back."
