Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

"But they ultimately chose the path of destroying peace."

"They were all their choices..."

Ellie leaned down and gently kissed Elise's cheek.

She had already foreseen the outcome.

Without even using her powers, Ellie could directly guess the final outcome of the Honkai world.

As May and Kevin continue their actions, more and more innocent people will be forced to go to the Honkai world, such as the hundreds who died in the Sydney Opera House fire, and they will awaken in the Honkai world.

No one would want to live in that collapsing world that is already in the apocalypse, especially people who are used to living in a peaceful world, and especially since they are all ordinary people.

The food problem alone is enough to make them miserable.

The plants and animals of the Honkai world had already gone extinct on a large scale during the Honkai catastrophe. Although there was food stored in the abandoned human cities, it had all expired and was inedible. The vital water source was also extremely scarce.

The only food and water source was the nutrient solution in those living artifacts, which had virtually no taste.

Of course, more importantly, there is no electricity or internet in the Honkai world.

Making modern people live in ancient times would be worse than killing them.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Ellie had predicted.

When Mei and Kevin returned to the Honkai world, they saw Qianjie and Aponia bringing people out of those jars.

Unfortunately, neither Thousand Calamities nor Aponia have any vehicles capable of carrying many people. Gasoline has long since run out, and many vehicles are simply old and broken down.

Very few people are actually able to be brought out of the jars; most people are still forced to remain inside.

Kevin and May's first problem to deal with is how to properly settle the humans who were burned to death in the virtual world and then came to the Honkai world.

"Why don't we send them back?" Mebius suggested casually.

“But this is the real reality,” Kevin said.

“Then how do we settle them?” Mebius asked, following Kevin’s lead.

"Take them back to the Firemoth base first."

Mei quietly watched the people inside the jar who had already awakened.

"What about food and water?"

Mebius spread his hands.

"Let's use the nutrient solution in the jar first."

"Food and drink are taken care of, but what about sanitation? They're all ordinary people, not fusion warriors."

Mebius suddenly realized that the fusion warriors were at least decent in this respect; they only needed energy to survive and didn't need to care about anything else.

"..." Both May and Kevin remained silent. May herself was just an ordinary person, and of course she also had physiological needs.

"What if I get sick? The medications here won't be available."

"It gets quite cold here at night. How do you keep warm? A lot of my clothes are already torn."

"Oh, by the way, how do we address their mental state? There are several hundred of them here this time."

"Who will manage them after that?"

Mebius watched as May and Kevin posed one practical question after another. Simply pulling people back to the real world was meaningless; they still needed to find a way to solve the problems of living in the post-apocalyptic environment. Just saying that this was the real world wouldn't solve anything.

Möbius is a PhD in biology, and she knows all too well how fragile and neurotic humans are. In this apocalyptic environment, one wrong move and you're dead, one wrong move and you're driven mad and insane. Human reason and morality? Survival comes first!

“Qianjie and I will help them,” Aponia said expressionlessly, while Qianjie stood by indifferently.

“…I’m counting on you,” Kevin said to Aponia, but Aponia didn’t even look at Kevin. She just said that and then turned and left.

Chapter 344 How is that possible?

"How could it be fake? How could it be!" A young couple stared blankly at the desolate land before them, which looked like the end of the world. They couldn't believe that the reality before them was real.

This day was supposed to be their sweet honeymoon, a day when they could enjoy a spectacular audio-visual feast at the Sydney Opera House, a day of family happiness and bliss. Everything was so wonderful, so why, why did they say it was all fake?

This newlywed couple had just recently enjoyed their honeymoon, and they remembered it all going so well. How could it all be fake?!

Not only the young couple, but also many people around them stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend what was happening!

Before long, more people who had woken up and recovered came to the front door and stared blankly at the scene outside.

"Please be patient, everyone." At this moment, the sudden announcement startled everyone.

That was the voice of Eden.

But wasn't Eden already blown up? In front of thousands of people at the scene and nearly a hundred million viewers online, Eden was blown up.

At the time, many people were calling the police and asking an ambulance to come as soon as possible, but no one had any hope that Eden was still alive, because Eden had been blown up and broken in two, with blood and internal organs all over the ground, so it was impossible for him to be alive.

But now everyone is absolutely certain that it is the voice of Eden.

The audience at the Sydney Opera House are all loyal and seasoned fans of Eden, so how could they not recognize Eden's voice, even if the broadcasting equipment is terrible?

"Lady Eden!" someone exclaimed, then wept with joy. Eden was still alive!

At that moment, Eden and Wilvi were pushing a rudimentary broadcasting device to the entrance of the base.

Upon seeing this, fans immediately rushed forward to help Eden push the broadcasting equipment over.

"Ms. Eden, what exactly is going on?!" someone asked impatiently.

"Let's wait until everyone arrives," Eden's voice came through the broadcast system.

Upon hearing Eden's words, the fans all sprang into action, calling out to those who hadn't yet come out of the room to hurry over.

Many of these fans know each other; almost every one of them is a member of Eden's fan club.

Before long, all the people who had come to the Honkai world gathered together, numbering about four hundred. They all looked at Eden, wanting to know what had happened.

“This is the real world, at least for now,” Eden’s words immediately drew surprised glances from the crowd.

Eden then told everything about the Honkai, about how this world was already in its apocalypse, about how humans had been encased in jars, and about how the dead would come to the Honkai world.

But everyone felt like they were listening to some second-rate science fiction story. What on earth was this?!

“Let’s go and see for ourselves if it’s really true,” Eden suggested, knowing that just saying it wouldn’t convince people.

Everyone was quite interested. This place was practically a desolate wilderness. Although it was in a base, it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time and had only recently become populated.

"Are you sure?" Wilvi, who was fiddling with the broadcasting equipment, suddenly asked.

Eden was somewhat puzzled. She had only just recovered and had rushed over to comfort people. Although she also had memories from her dream, Eden also wanted to see the true state of this destroyed apocalypse for herself.

"Without a means of transportation," Wilvi fiddled with the broadcasting equipment she had just made that day, and then broadcast her voice.

"The fuel in the base is exhausted, and many vehicles are too old and broken to start. If you want to get out, you'll have to rely on your own legs."

Eden and the others fell silent, then began to discuss the matter in hushed tones.

"Remember to come back early, it's still quite cold at night. Aponia and Qianjie have already gone to bring you things to keep warm," Velvi said after finishing what she was doing.

After watching Eden and a large group of people leave the Firemoth base, Velvi turned and left without caring. She wasn't their babysitter, and besides, there was no danger outside.

Apart from some simple plants, there are no other large plants or animals outside. The only dangerous situations are people fighting among themselves or accidentally falling down.

However, if it's due to a cold or flu, well, you can only hope for the best, as there are no medicines or medicinal herbs in the Fire Moth I base.

Velvi is quite busy right now; she needs to figure out a way to restart the power supply to the Firemoth base.

Honkai energy has become inactive. Although it still exists in this Honkai world and can be used by the Fusion Warriors, what technology or civilization does the Honkai world have now? Honkai energy is not active under such circumstances, and it takes a long time to recover after using a little Honkai energy.

Fortunately, the only good news is that the Honkai energy is inert and therefore not severely corrosive.

The Honkai energy reactor at the Moth of Fire base is useless once the Honkai energy becomes inert. Although there is a lot of inert Honkai energy, the Honkai energy reactor would need to be completely remodeled to reuse it.

Sorry, Velvi thinks it's better to absorb the inert Honkai energy directly into her body than to try to modify it herself.

Wilvi felt a bit of a headache. Re-energizing the entire Firemoth base was too difficult. Even just providing power to a specific area was a significant problem. The circuits, wires, and electronic equipment had long been unusable due to disrepair, aging, and oxidation of components.

Not only these, but many weapons and equipment also have this problem. The more powerful or sophisticated the weapon or equipment, the more maintenance it needs. Just leaving it there will definitely cause it to break down. Nothing can withstand the passage of time.

During her inspection of the Moth of Fire base over the past few days, Velvi discovered that in her dream, she and her other consciousnesses had conjured up a super-powerful treasure—a Honkai energy nuclear bomb.

There are still three.

The power of a single Honkai energy nuclear bomb is enough to easily level a large city, including an international metropolis like Canghai City.

The prerequisite is that it can be detonated.

The nuclear bomb that Vervi discovered had long been neglected and its parts had aged, turning it into a large lump of iron, making it virtually impossible to re-detonate.

almost

Vervi recalled the existence of those three nuclear bombs, but she had no intention of doing anything about it, at least not now.

Chapter 345 The Road Ahead

This is a desolate world, and also a dead world.

After leaving the Firemoth base, this was the only thought in Eden's and the others' minds. Everything they saw should have only appeared in movies and TV shows, but it was right in front of everyone.

This is a post-apocalyptic world.

People quickly stopped, standing in this almost lifeless world, their bewildered eyes looking around. Their rough, worn-out clothes made them feel uncomfortable, the wind blowing was lifeless, and everything in sight was deathly still.

"Let's... go back," someone said hesitantly.

Those who had initially believed this to be Truman's world fell silent; no one raised any objections, they simply remained silent.

Eden didn't know what to do either. She felt incredibly lost. Was this reality? Was it really reality?

One by one, some people turned back and planned to return to the Firemoth base. Soon, the first person took the lead, and the others followed suit in their confusion and returned to the Firemoth base.

When these people returned to the Firemoth base, the gate was still open, but they found two trucks parked there. The girl named Velvet, along with Thousand Calamity and Aponia, were inspecting the trucks together.

Many people still remember these two trucks, which made several trips, bringing hundreds of people to the Firemoth base.

Similarly, I remember Qianjie and Aponia; it was the two of them who took care of the people who had just come out of the jars.

"The car is totaled," Wilvi said with a sigh as she crawled out from under the car, wiping the oil stains from her face.

These two trucks were the only drivable trucks she and Qianjie had managed to find after much difficulty. The Moth Chaser base was not far from the abandoned human city, but it was not short either, so they needed a means of transportation to transport a large amount of goods.

Initially, Aponia and Velvet both wanted to build a shelter in the abandoned human city, but unfortunately, it was of no use except for providing shelter from the wind and rain, as almost everything decayed under the power of time.

In the future, it will likely be humans who rebuild abandoned cities.

However, for now, the only option is to take these awakened humans to the Firemoth base, and two trucks are responsible for transporting them.

It was thanks to these two trucks that Thousand Calamities and Aponia were able to bring all the people they had brought out of the canisters to the Firemoth base, along with the usable clothing and fuel they had collected, and of course, the edible liquid from the canisters.

However, the already old and worn-out truck, with its severely aged parts, has now been completely scrapped after prolonged use.

"Aren't there any replacement parts?"

"Not at the moment."

"Vilvie answered instinctively."

She then realized that the people who had left had all returned.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" someone asked hesitantly.

“Collect flammable materials,” Aponia began.

"This base doesn't have electricity that can be used for extended periods, so we need flammable materials to ensure we can get through the upcoming cold weather."

"Tomorrow morning, Qianjie and I will go to the abandoned city to continue searching for usable resources."

Although Qianjie and Aponia had been collecting supplies for the past few days, unfortunately, even though they were fusion warriors, they couldn't conjure up any supplies.

Despite searching for supplies in the abandoned city, so much time had passed that many things had completely decayed.

"Let's go together."

Moving some things isn't a problem.

People seem very enthusiastic, eager to do their part.

But Aponia could sense the anxiety and unease in people's hearts; they were looking for things to distract themselves and find a sense of security.

Aponia nodded silently. She did not refuse. In the current situation, there must be various things to fill people's hearts and prevent them from overthinking.

To survive as much as possible in this already destroyed world.

Vilvi watched all of this quietly.
