Teresa won't starve

Facing the high-speed impact of Scarlet Sakura Rushmon, Hua counterattacked with normal speed.Obviously this speed is absolutely impossible to keep up with, but the dashing beast slammed into the alloy long sword as if possessed by a demon.

Click!

Due to the limited material of the sword, it couldn't withstand the impact of the Scarlet Cherry Raiding Beast, so it broke in two at once.Hua was also a little surprised by this result, since the tank-level Honkai beast from before didn't have this level of attack power.

Although that guy may be more difficult to fight, after all, he is a defensive Honkai Beast.

Throwing away the useless hilt, Hua's remaining weapons are only his own hands; but precisely because of this, Hua is more confident in defeating enemies and protecting his companions.

......

The battle can't be said to be one-sided, and she didn't even have a weak crush; but Hua still proved with her own strength that she can defeat the enemy even with only two hands left.

Although the end result was that Hua's hand was seriously injured, at least this week he couldn't lift heavy objects.

His hands were still bleeding, and he couldn't bandage the wound by himself, so he could only let Teresa, who was clumsy, perform this task for him.

However, this seemingly hideous injury couldn't shake Hua's will, she didn't even frown as if she couldn't feel the pain.

In contrast, Teresa's silence actually aroused her curiosity:

"What? Aren't you going to explain to me?"

"..." Teresa opened her mouth, vaguely guessing what was going on, but still persisted: "Explain what?"

"It would be nice if you could be a little more frank."

Hua didn't expose her, no, maybe that said it all.

"..."

He looked at the girl in front of him who was much shorter than himself even if he didn't bow his head to admit his mistake. Hua raised his hands that looked like rice dumplings wrapped in white bandages, well, at least it was warm like this.

"Go find a place to rest, I want to be alone for a while."

Teresa didn't know what she wanted to do, but she didn't ask, and just did it.I found a place to barely shelter from the wind, leaned on it and fell asleep after a while.

This day plus one night, I was tired and frightened. Although I didn't show it, I must be very tired.

Hua also just sat there in a daze as she said.If there is anything else, it is to take a look at the ruins that are completely uninhabitable.

- It's not safe here anymore!

She took Teresa to trek in various inaccessible and harsh environments. In addition to finding a suitable exercise environment, Teresa can develop a body that can adapt to various disasters.

Another important reason is to avoid the Herrscher.

Well known.

One of the reasons for the birth of the Lawrence is to have "many people" - at least for now.Because only in an environment where people gather, Herrscher can better exterminate human beings

Otherwise, once it descends in a remote area, I am afraid that human beings will have found a way to deal with Herrscher before the Herrscher rushes over to kill them, so wouldn't it be meaningless to exist?

and so--

Find a place where there are few people, or even where no one goes. Even if life is a little harder, it is better than dying without knowing anything.

Of course this is not the best option for most people.

Not to mention how difficult it is to survive in this environment, not to mention the unpredictable Houkai beast attack.

But Hua is not the kind of person who has no ability to protect himself!

Originally, Hua was confident that no matter what the situation was, as long as she didn't encounter a Herrscher, she could at least protect Theresa's safety.

But obviously she overestimated herself.

What would have happened if it had slowed down by a second?

What would happen if Teresa didn't support her?Can Teresa survive without her own protection?

Hua suddenly felt suspicious of his behavior of leaving the team.

Is it right to make such an outlier choice?

......

Beep, beep——

The silent night was suddenly broken, Hua took out the communicator and found that it was Himeko's communication number.

013 "Original Code"

Is something wrong?

Hua thought for a while, and the communicator rang for a while.In the end, she could only use her "zongzi hand" to barely press the receiving item.

Unexpectedly, Himeko yelled as soon as he came up:

"What are you doing? You're only picking it up now! Don't you know I'm worried? I almost couldn't help but fly over to find you!"

"Keep your voice down, there are children sleeping over there."

"Oh." Hearing Hua's reminder, Himeko immediately stopped talking, but quickly reacted: "No, you haven't told me what happened? You don't look... not well?"

Although it was because of the unstable signal, Himeko still saw the scrapes and scratches on her face, and she looked very embarrassed.

"It was a bit of a surprise. However, it's all right after all."

"Yes. Do I need to fly over to pick you up?"

"Do you know where I am?"

"Oh, global positioning! Miss! Don't you know that the communicator has this function?"

"..."

Hua really forgot about it, if he knew it, he would throw it away first, and come back to get it when he needs it.

"hiss!!"

Himeko in the light curtain suddenly pressed his head, looking very painful: "Why are you here at this time?"

"Migraine?"

"No!" As the headache gradually disappeared and slowed down, Himeko, who had a slightly unsightly face, replied annoyedly, and then remembered to speak in a low voice: "Not all. It's just that in the past few weeks, I occasionally feel a little pain, and there are messy 'whispers of evil gods' in my head. I wonder if I have done too much work as a law enforcement officer, and the SAN value has dropped a bit too low?"

"No, you just smoke too much and drink too much, please control it properly and pay attention to your body."

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible to quit in this life."

Looking at the look of 'wine is blood' (note) and 'smoke is life', asking her to quit might as well just take her under the knife.

Hua knew that there was nothing to talk about, but she has always been like this, probably because she is getting old and her physical fitness is starting to decline or something.

Thinking about it, this aunt is almost past the age to be married, and she doesn't know when she will return to her roots.

"that."

"Ok?"

"I want to go back."

"Then come back, no one will let you come back, the team misses you very much."

"Are they okay?"

"What's okay? Do you think you've all died during your absence?"

"That's good."

"Look! Is this a human language?"

"Then what do you want me to say?"

"say you Love Me?"

"..."

Knowing that what the captain master said was just a joke, but Hua just didn't know how to answer, and it was a bit embarrassing for a while.

In the end, Himeko opened the situation first——

"I'll contact you with the transport plane. Tomorrow... no, you should be able to return to the headquarters the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Having nothing to say, Hua had to turn off the communicator and wait for the arrival of the transport plane.

Fortunately, there were no accidents on the way, and there was no sudden Honkai beast attack again. Hua, who hadn't rested all the time, finally made it to the transport plane.

Under the arrangement of the medical staff on the transport plane, he was transferred to a narrow ward and went to rest.

of course.

Teresa had to work harder, and had to sit on the double row of seats outside for at least a whole day.

......

34 hours later.

Teresa and Hua finally returned to the headquarters of Flaming Moth, which they hadn't been to for about two or three months.After seeing Hua's condition stabilized, Teresa went to find something to eat.

After all, she hadn't eaten anything for dozens of hours, and she was a little hungry.

In order to save time, I simply ordered a fast food burger, sat on a stool in the reception hall with the package in my hand, and ate it.

"Are you, Teriri?"

At this time, an ethereal, pleasant-sounding, but emotionless girl who looked like a good reader came from the side, and then I felt that the row of stools pushed back a little.

After Teresa heard it, she couldn't help turning her face with cheese and white sauce still sticking to it.What I saw was a quiet girl in a white coat, a blue and black single ponytail tied high, and glasses.

"This outfit... MEI?"

After Teresa looked at it, she felt quite similar to Mei.

Because there is still something in his mouth, in order to avoid choking himself by making a sound, he can only express it by nodding.

"I see you——" MEI saw the sides of Theresa's shorts, only the holster but no gun: "Have you thrown the gun away?"

"..."

"It's not easy to use? Or—" She didn't seem to want to hear Teresa's answer at all, she just guessed on her own, and said very self-centered: "Come with me."

No consideration was given to Teresa's own wishes.

But thinking that the other party is a research and weapon development boss after all, Teresa could only stand up and follow behind her; and solved the hamburger in her hand on the way, and took the wet wipes handed over by the other party to wipe her face clean up.

I passed by a few people along the way, but they seemed to know Mei's character very well. They didn't say hello to her, nor did they have malicious imaginations. Everyone kept the most basic courtesy.

At least on the face of it.

Mei cares about all these things, she just needs to take care of herself.

He led Teresa to his office, took out the smallest 'piece' of the latest products from the drawer, placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Teresa.

"This is!?"

It was a pair of peculiar white double guns, and the shape on the guns was like wings.Teresa only thought of one name for this peculiarly shaped gun.

"The 2nd holy relic? No, it's very similar, but this should be called—"

"The 2nd original." Mei was afraid that she would not know what the purpose of this thing was, so he explained to her: "It is an imitation of the Honkai weapon 'God's Key'. I wanted to try to mass-produce the 'God's Key' , but it failed. But I thought that even if it was a failure, it should still be useful, so I kept it.”

"Prototype!"

Teresa was a little hesitant to take it, after all, even if it is a failure, it is still a high-end product of the original series!

"give it to you."

MEI had no intention of asking at all, and with a tough attitude of "give it to you, you will keep it for me", directly pushed it into Teresa's hands.

Seeing that Teresa accepted it, MEI gave her another instrument for collecting actual combat data, and then went back to work.

014 "Speaking of Human Words"

Emmmmmmmmmm

Seeing that the MEI door was not locked, and she didn't treat Teresa as an outsider at all, she just threw it in the office and left directly.

Are you not afraid of losing something?

It seems that I am not afraid.
