Very soon, only Anna's head remained unchanged. Everywhere else had turned gray, and then the gray rapidly spread toward her head.
"Am I going to die? I refuse to accept this! How can I die like this?"
As Anna felt death closing in step by step, her heart was filled with unwillingness. Yes, unwillingness, not fear.
At first, Anna had been afraid. After all, no one was unafraid of death. But at the final moment, her heart was no longer filled with fear, but unwillingness.
Anna refused to die like this. Before meeting Andrew, she would not have felt such intense unwillingness toward death, because back then, she had merely been an ordinary person—an ordinary person struggling to survive in the End Times, repeatedly escaping death by a hair's breadth.
Back then, Anna had long prepared herself for death and had no particular regrets. This was the End Times. Everyone would die eventually, and one more or less made no difference. Besides, whether she lived or died had no impact whatsoever on the world or on most survivors.
Everything changed after she met Andrew. Although Anna had always complained that Andrew gave her far too much work, the truth was that she did it willingly. Or rather, she was happy to do it.
Because that work could save people, and Anna wanted to save people. Not only that, Andrew had planned out a wonderful future for her—she would lead the Evil Spirit Legion, save countless survivors, even save cities and save the world.
Anna's sense of Mission immediately surged. At the thought of being able to save so many people, Anna had been so happy she could fly. Compared to her former petty struggles, the path Andrew had planned for her was practically her dream and her pursuit in life.
