Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 201: Abandoning principles to achieve the goal, what should pregnant women do?

A month later.

"hateful!"

Cocolia, wearing a green military uniform, sat in the confinement room, drinking spicy liquor continuously, and it was unclear whether the curses she uttered were directed at the military superiors or at this pathetic world.

dong dong——

There was a sudden knock on the door of the confinement cell. Kokolia looked in the direction of the sound and found it was Colonel Alexei.

"I'm sorry, Cocolia, but I've already warned you not to meddle in other people's business..."

Kokolia stood up from the bed, walked straight to the door of the confinement room, and glared at Alexei.

"In the military court, you were all in collusion... They all denied your guilt and put me in solitary confinement."

Alexei's eyes dodged for a moment, but he still explained.

"...The judge of the military court, Major General Ivan... He was the one who ordered the sale of military supplies to the black market... The army has long been corrupt, Kokolia, why are you still so upright? If I hadn't pleaded for you, do you think you would just be put in solitary confinement?"

"Humph, what does that matter? I just can't tolerate guys like you. It's because of you, it's because of this country, because this country is so corrupt, the orphanage can't get enough subsidies--"

Cocolia grabbed the iron bars of the solitary confinement room door tightly, almost biting her teeth to pieces.

“Do you know how many orphans are homeless and hungry now, just like I was when I was a child?”

"enough!"

Alexei stopped her with a shout and he also shouted.

"I have my own difficulties! I have to get the money!"

"...?"

Alexey opens a pocket watch, which contains a picture of his wife.

"My daughter... is going to be born in August. I have no way to support her and her with the meager salary from the army. But for me... as long as I can protect them, I can pay any price..."

Alexei solemnly put away his pocket watch and slowly walked out.

"Cocolia, think about it carefully. I know you send all the money back to the orphanage every month. Those children are very important to you, and you just need the money, don't you?"

"Sometimes, in order to achieve the most important goal for each other, we have to give up some principles. If you are willing to join us, we can let you out at any time. You... please think about it carefully."

"..."

Cocolia sat on the bed and thought for a while. What kept echoing in her mind was the colonel's words about giving up principles for the sake of goals. She couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"..."

"I didn't expect that even you, Colonel, have fallen... You used to be such an upright person. Could it be that... you can really give up your principles in order to achieve your goals...?"

Cocolia looked outside while thinking, and this glance became an indelible shadow in her life—an overwhelming purple beam of light came towards her, but she did not feel any discomfort when it touched her body.

“——!? Aaaaaaa——!!”

For some reason, it was as if an earthquake occurred around her. The sturdy confinement room collapsed instantly, and large and small pieces of rubble crushed Cocolia.

Fortunately, she is also a soldier, and these rubble can't do anything to her. And for some reason, since being exposed to those purple pillars, her strength and physical fitness seem to be greater than before.

"It hurts. What happened? Is it an earthquake?!"

Cocolia pushed away the rubble that was pressing on her effortlessly, but when she stood up, a three-meter-tall Temple-level Honkai beast was already standing in front of her, and was about to swing down the spike on its right arm.

But Cocolia turned around and ran first, and the attack just missed. Cocolia didn't know that her reaction would be so quick. She had only one thought in her mind now - to survive!

The Temple-level Honkai Beast was about to catch up, but was suddenly blown into pieces by a bolt of lightning. Kokolia heard the explosion behind her, but she didn't dare to look back. She just kept running and running...

..............

“Hoo—ha—hoo—”

Cocolia hid in the ruins, gasping for breath. Outside... was a terrifying white monster. The ground trembled with every step it took.

At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of some familiar things out of the corner of her eye, which was originally trying to find a direction to escape - a pistol and car keys, which belonged to Colonel Alexei.

"Is the Colonel...dead...?"

Kokolia grabbed the things on the ground and ran to the parking lot. Alexei's car, a green Lada, was standing there alone.

“This should be it…!?”

Cocolia opened the driver's door, but was surprised to find that there was a woman sitting in the passenger seat, looking at her with the same surprise.

The iconic turbo-charged hairstyle, grey eyes, the only difference is the face full of emotion - if Jiang Ming was here... he would probably stop and watch for a long time, right?

"...Who are you?"

Cocolia didn't care about that and just sat in the driver's seat, but the woman grabbed her right arm and asked excitedly.

"Wait!! Who are you!? Why do you have my husband's keys? What happened to my husband?"

Cocolia suddenly felt troubled.

"Tsk, how can I explain this to her... It will be troublesome if she gets entangled with me, and those monsters will catch up with me soon!"

Thinking of this, Cocolia gritted her teeth, pointed the pistol she had just picked up at the woman, and shouted angrily.

"Don't make any noise! ​​Your husband is dead! Let go of your hand and sit still. You've seen the monsters outside. If you don't make any noise, I'll take you out. Otherwise... I'll shoot you!"

"..."

Maybe it was because of fear or because she heard the news of her husband's death, but she was unusually quiet. Although she tried hard to restrain herself, the sadness on her face was still clearly visible.

When the gun was pointed at her, Cocolia felt a little guilty, but she had to survive. The children in the orphanage still needed her, and she had to escape no matter what the cost.

Perhaps even Cocolia herself didn't realize that since that day... since she saw this pathetic world clearly... she had also become a person who gave up her principles in order to achieve her goals...

After the Second Herrscher began to attack and released a large amount of Honkai energy, towns throughout Siberia were attacked by Honkai beasts. In an instant, the total number of Honkai beasts on the Siberian plains exceeded 50.

After the town was destroyed, strong Honkai energy swept across Siberia. After that, the satellites and radars of Tenman could no longer detect the specific situation in Siberia.

Including Kokolia and Alexandra, who was kidnapped by her, there were less than 100 survivors in the whole of Siberia at that moment.

Just after Cocolia and Alexandra escaped, a man in a black robe appeared in the distance behind their vehicle without anyone noticing, and as if to relieve their pressure, he killed the Honkai beasts that were chasing them at will.

But unlike the black robe that was still in Tianming, this person was wearing a black robe with several red lines on it...
