Chapter 105 If you are a man, go to the 100th floor

Tian Meng's vision was completely blurred by tears.

She knelt beside Su Xiao's body, her fingertips trembling as she touched her bloody cheek. Su Xiao's expression was calm, as if she was just asleep, but her body was already cold, and the broken sword was still tightly grasped in her palm.

"Why..." Tian Meng let out a sob from her throat, "Why do you want to leave me too..."

She remembered that when Su Xiao died, it was the same thing—in order to protect her, he was corroded by the spider's venom and turned into a dry skeleton. And now, Su Xiao is gone too.

——Once again, she was left alone in this hellish world.

So, when Ye Xiaoxuan found Tian Meng, the girl's eyes had completely lost their luster.

Her face was covered with dried tear marks, and black supernatural lines covered half of her cheeks. She sat in the ruins like an empty shell.

"Tian Meng!" Ye Xiaoxuan grabbed her shoulders, "There's no time! The queen is right in front of us. If we activate her power again, we can--"

“…What’s the point?”

Tian Meng's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Ye Xiaoxuan was stunned.

"Xu Kai is dead, Ye Qing is dead, Su Xiao is also dead..." Tian Meng slowly raised her head, staring at Ye Xiaoxuan with empty eyes, "Even if we kill the queen, they won't come back. This world... will never change because of our efforts."

Her tone was eerily calm, as if she was stating a very simple fact.

Maybe it wasn't just her comrades who died, her heart was dead too.

…

More than an hour after the war began, Xu Kai, Ye Qing, and Su Xiao sacrificed themselves one after another, blocking all the spiders for the survivors and using their bodies to build a high wall to protect hope.

But Ye Xiaoxuan never expected that at this last moment, Tian Meng's faith completely collapsed, and he didn't know the meaning of everything he had done.

For a moment, Ye Xiaoxuan clenched her fists suddenly.

She looked at the collapsed girl in front of her, and suddenly remembered the background setting of Tian Meng in the game——

She was originally just an ordinary farm girl, and she depended on her childhood sweetheart for everything.

Until the Spider Army destroyed her village and her childhood sweetheart died protecting her.

This was the first time she felt the presence of loss.

The second time was on the battlefield, like death

And now, Tian Meng is experiencing her third loss.

This is bound to be... not pleasant.

…

"I...I...I really don't know what to do."

When she said this, her eyes were empty and tears flowed uncontrollably. Faced with this situation, Ye Xiaoxuan just sighed.

well--

To be honest, she could understand Tian Meng's idea. After all, they were just a group of ordinary children who were forcibly conscripted into the army when disaster struck.

But even though I think this way, I still want to say something inspiring.

“Do you think you’re the only one suffering?!”

On the battlefield, Ye Xiaoxuan suddenly shouted, grabbed Tian Meng's collar and pulled her up.

"Tian Meng, cheer up."

She yelled at Tian Meng like this, and seeing that she was still half dead, she yelled even louder:

"Do you think this world is unreasonable? Even if you work hard to survive the crisis, you still feel that living is a painful thing."

She pointed to the distance.

Under the broken city wall, the soldiers with broken arms still held on to their shields;

In the burning ruins, the seriously injured gunner used his last bit of strength to reload the ammunition;

On the blood-stained land, everyone is using their lives to delay time.

“Look around! Look at those soldiers who are still fighting! Don’t they know how cruel this world is?!”

Ye Xiaoxuan said this in a relatively calm tone, and Tian Meng just turned her head to the side blankly.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxuan's next words made her open her eyes suddenly wide.

"Do you feel it's unfair? Do you feel hopeless?" Ye Xiaoxuan's voice was hoarse, and then she said:

"Don't be silly, this is a matter of course. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I fight, the world will take everything away from me. I don't want to go on, I don't want to live so hard anymore, I also want to be with you. That's what you think, but are you really doing her justice?"

"She sacrificed herself for you, but you said you don't want to live anymore?!"

"If this world has difficulty levels, then it must be hell-level. There are irrational and unreasonable things everywhere, and nothing develops according to our wishes. But this is the world, don't you think everyone doesn't know it?"

"We live in such a bleak environment. Should we give up the attack just because of this? You choose to give up and leave gracefully. Take a good look around you. We must attack until the end of our lives. I will continue to fight. I will keep thinking and struggling until the last moment of my life. If you want to let go and leave, then use this sword to kill yourself now."

"But if you are a coward who doesn't have the courage to end your life, then stop looking for your dead friend and use the last of your strength to kill that damn monster."

As she spoke, she suddenly slapped a dagger into Tian Meng's hand.

“Choose.”

Tian Meng's fingers trembled as they touched the hilt of the sword.

Her mind flashed with a smile, Su Xiao's back blocking her way, and Xu Kai's unwilling look before his death...

——Then, she gripped the sword tightly.

Instead of stabbing himself, he turned around and aimed at the Spider Queen in the distance.

“Aaaaaaaa——!!”

Along with a heart-wrenching roar, the final [Poison Lock] erupted!

The last hope lies in her hands.

At this moment, the spiders have surrounded the survivors, but there is nothing else they can do now. After all, this is something that is simply impossible to accomplish.

But Tian Meng still succeeded. She ignored the height, the distance, and the countless monsters that blocked her vision. It was as if the result had been planned and she solved the problem very neatly.

The dark energy torrent penetrated the battlefield and accurately hit the queen's head. The monster screamed shrilly and its huge body fell to the ground.

All the soldiers present were excited, but Ye Xiaoxuan had to pour cold water on them. She said to her mind calmly, "Ye Xiaocao, do it."

With her command, Ye Xiaocao took action and all the spiders were attracted instantly.

Sure enough, there were more than two spider monsters on this battlefield.

Seeing Tian Meng's body being torn to pieces in front of her eyes, she sighed. There was no other way. No matter what, she had to collect as much information as possible in this reincarnation.

Before dying, Ye Xiaoxuan recalled an incident from a year ago and couldn't help but sigh. Alas, thinking back to when she was just an ordinary office worker, this incident had caused such a stir.

Then, the next second, a sharp pain brought her consciousness back to reality.

Light. War. Smoke.

She was back to where she was.

"Commander, are you okay?" Seeing Ye Qing again, Ye Xiaoxuan was filled with mixed emotions. She just said "no" lightly and continued with the previous process.

However, this time, after the sun went down, she did not summon the guards again. Instead, she left the city wall alone and headed for the location marked by Ye Xiaocao. This time, she must know what happened in the Spider's Nest after the sun went down.
