Do You Feel Unwilling to Accept It?

In the vast wilderness, a person is walking slowly, like a survivor struggling to survive in the desert, with slow but determined steps.

On this person's back, there is another person.

And on this person's body, there was also an extremely heavy weapon.

Perhaps the reason for their slow pace is the cumbersome weapon; who knows?

However, both the people walking and the people being carried had some charred marks on their bodies, telling others what kind of battle the two had just gone through.

"Call----!"

A slightly chilly wind swept by, ruffling their clothes and kicking up dust.

With this rendering, the people walking appear to be moving at a slower pace.

"Hmm..."

At one point, the person being carried on the other's back let out a slightly painful groan.

Upon hearing this voice, the former paused slightly, but quickly recovered and continued walking forward.

Alisa felt excruciating pain throughout her entire body the instant she regained consciousness.

The sensation caused Alisa to groan in pain before slowly opening her eyes.

Almost at the same time, a voice reached Alisa's ears.

"Are you awake?"

The sudden sound jolted Alisa awake.

It was only then that Alisa realized she was being carried on someone's back.

To be regarded as an enemy by someone who, in a sense, is the one you are fighting against.

"You...?!" Alisa instantly sprang up from her back.

However, this overly intense movement caused Alisa's already poor condition to groan in pain.

A sharp pain coursed through Alisa's body, causing Alisa to groan again as she collapsed back down.

This made the person carrying Alisa smile slightly, and say, "It seems you'd better not move around without me reminding you."

Upon hearing this, and considering the current situation, Alisa knew exactly what had happened.

"You saved me?" Alisa frowned deeply and asked bluntly, "Why?"

"Why?" Fang Li chuckled. "Then why didn't you retreat? You should have received orders to retreat when the incident happened, right?"

If the captain was willing to risk mission failure and the lives of an entire army in order to eliminate Fang Li, then Fang Li could understand.

After all, this mission was just to lay landmines, and even if it failed, it wouldn't have a decisive impact on the battlefield.

As for armies composed of ordinary soldiers, if they are unable to fight against the Aragami, then their value is naturally pitifully low.

The real loss that the Russian Branch needs to bear is the God Eater who comes to protect them.

Therefore, the Russian Branch should have issued a retreat order when the Aragami began their attack.

However, Alisa did not retreat.

For this reason, he even disobeyed orders from above.

"Thanks to this, all the soldiers you saved escaped on the remaining helicopters, leaving only the two of us to fight Vajra to the death, only to end up like this." Fang Li curled his lips and said, "Although, even if there were any remaining helicopters, I wouldn't know how to fly them."

Hearing Fang Li's nonchalant words, Alisa's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Enduring the pain in her body, she barely managed to raise one hand and press the communicator by her ear.

"It's no use." Fang Li seemed to know what Alisa was doing and said, "Don't forget, you were directly struck by Vajra's electric current. Under such a strong current, the communicator would have malfunctioned long ago."

That is why Fang Li was also unable to contact Hibari.

Originally, Fang Li had carried a communicator with him before setting off, ready to communicate with Hibari at any time, but now the instrument is also malfunctioning and is completely useless.

Alisa fell silent.

There is no way to leave this place.

There was no means to make contact.

This confirms that they have perished.

This fact made Alisa bite her lip.

"What's wrong?" Fang Li didn't turn around, but once again seemed to sense Alisa's feelings, and said directly, "Do you feel very unwilling?"

One sentence struck a chord with Alisa.

Moreover, Fang Li didn't stop there, revealing Alisa's inner thoughts one after another.

"This was your first mission, and it ended in failure, with casualties and serious injuries. You were even rescued by the enemy. All of this makes you feel resentful, right?"

These words struck a chord with Alisa, causing Alisa to bite her lip harder and harder.

In response, Fang Li simply said indifferently, "Your pride is indeed very strong, but if you can't even accept your own failures, then you can't grow."

This time, Alisa really couldn't take it anymore.

"You don't understand at all," Alisa said softly. "I have no time to accept any failure. I have things I have to do."

"Something that has to be done?" Fang Li's tone remained unchanged as he simply said, "Is it related to that Vajra? You seemed somewhat out of control when you were facing it."

Alisa's heart trembled slightly.

Clearly, Fang Li had once again touched on Alisa's deepest feelings.

However, this time only half of it was hit.

Alisa did lose control when facing Vajra, but that wasn't because of Vajra himself. Rather, it was because Vajra's existence reminded Alisa of the nightmare she had always dreamed of defeating.

Thinking of this, Alisa asked again, "What happened to Vajra in the end?"

After Vajra unleashed a tremendous electric current, Alisa was struck and lost consciousness.

Finally, what Alisa saw was Fang Li holding a dagger and charging towards the raging lightning.

That's Matoba that makes you wonder if you're dreaming.

However, since he survived, it proved that Fang Li had indeed taken action; otherwise, the two of them would have died long ago.

Now, all Alisa wants to know is what happened in the end.

"Do you think I'm the one who can defeat the other side?" Fang Li replied casually, "I'm not God Arc wielder. All I can do is run away, and at most, I'll take you with me before that happens."

After saying that, Fang Li glanced at the topic as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and changed the subject.

"Instead of worrying about that, let's quickly think about what to do next."
