Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

Alicia held the cutlery and looked at Sakura coming up with the dinner plate and let out a long, confused snort.

"What's wrong? Something's wrong with me?" Sakura said and sat down.

"No, Sakura is dressed normally." Alicia shook her head, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip and said, "It just feels like Sakura is not energetic."

"No energy?"

"I feel no different than usual."

Sakura said calmly as she picked up the tableware after completing the traditional pre-dinner etiquette.

"Yeah, but I feel it. Did you have a nightmare last night?"

"That wouldn't be a good dream at all..."

"Oh~oh~, can you tell me?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just dreamed about Ling when she was in junior high school."

"Ah, that's it." Alicia smiled: "It seems it's because Sakura hasn't been home for several months, right?"

"maybe..."

"How about... I ask Takashi to bring Suzu to live with you for a while? Suzu should be on spring break recently." Alicia moved the little spoon and said: "Anyway, when Sakura has no mission, There seems to be nothing going on in the base, how about taking Ling to see it and broaden its horizons?"

"I know that my sister has joined a fighting organization like the Fire Chasing Moth, but I don't know how my sister fights and lives. I must be worried at ordinary times. Are you worried that something will happen to my sister?"

"Well... I actually don't want Suzu to be exposed to this. Alicia, you know, I even practiced the family swordsmanship without telling Suzu. But -" Sakura stopped. He stopped and thought about it carefully: "Okay, the city is centralized and safe, and the base is safer... The collapse is increasing, and it's time to let Ling come into contact with these."

"Hey... Sakura, do you want Ling to become a fusion warrior?" Alicia was confused: "I remember that you didn't want Ling to develop in this direction before, Sakura. Why did you change it?"

"......"

Sakura put down her chopsticks and looked at Alicia seriously: "In the past, I didn't want Suzu to be exposed to violence or blood, and people's rejection of fusion warriors made me think more and more that Suzu should not be allowed to come into contact with Honkai... "

"It's enough for me to be exposed to those malicious things at home."

"But now..." Ellie stopped mid-sentence.

Sakura nodded: "These have changed. With the improvement of social status, and the increase in the number of fusion warriors, I believe Suzu will find enough friends."

"But... I still don't want Ling to fight, but in this regard... I will respect her choice."

"But what I'm most worried about is Ling's adaptability..."

"Oh~ oh~", Alicia smiled with her eyes narrowed, and after silently writing down everything Sakura said, she said: "If you are adaptable, why not ask Takashi if there is anything you can do?"

"Well...I'll think about it."

Sakura didn't answer directly... She wasn't sure if Alicia knew, but Sakura herself knew.

Aponya and Long have a way to directly transform 100% of people into new human beings such as fusion warriors... I had already seen it that night.

Remarkably...it is indeed much better than Dr. Mebius's technology.

The feeling of passive surgery is quite uncomfortable...

It is said that super-transformation surgery has improved again and is not so uncomfortable.

Sakura thought.

Recalling my time, it seemed that because of the emergency on the battlefield, Dr. Mebius didn't have enough anesthesia around him, and many things were swept away... It really caused me severe pain.

I just don't know... why they don't work with Dr. Mebius to popularize that technology.

Are the higher-ups worried about Fire Chaser?

Sakura felt that it shouldn't be the case. They almost controlled more than half of it. The strongest military power was in the hands of Takashi, who held the unshakable commanding position.

"Drip drip-"

Just then, the alarm sounded.

Sakura immediately clicked on the device on her arm costume to check it out.

...

"No. 5 Herrscher, the monitoring shows that there is an extremely low temperature." Sakura and Alicia looked at each other as they spoke, and Alicia was also looking at the report on the projection in her hand.

Nodding to each other, the two started moving and headed to the ready position.

But when they arrived at the emergency support transport platform in less than 5 minutes...

The base's alarm has been lifted?

"Huh?", Sakura clicked on the device to check in confusion... She saw that the announcement had been issued, and the existence fluctuation of the pre-order codename Herrscher of Ice had disappeared... It was suddenly wiped out, leaving only the wreckage at the outbreak site, and the situation was unknown. investigating.

Sakura, full of questions, pressed the device on the arm of the costume to make the virtual projection in front of her disappear.

At the same time, Alicia also lowered her arm, letting the report disappear, and regained her smile and said: "Oh—! Since it was solved so quickly, let's go back and continue having breakfast."

"There will be dedicated personnel to investigate the situation."

After saying that, Alicia took Sakura's arm and started to run, and said: "Be careful of being cleaned up by the cleaning staff!"

"Oh—" Sakura was pulled by Alicia and started running in a daze.

There were also several fusion warriors nearby, and they also talked about this situation with confused expressions on their faces.

Too strange...

Are you sure the Herrscher was eliminated instead of hiding?

It’s not impossible that the Herrscher has strange and diverse abilities, right?

......

"Teacher, how is the situation?"

As the automatic door of the command room opened, Mei said and walked in with Kevin.

After Kevin stood still, he also wanted to say hello to Long, but after seeing everyone on the scene doing their own things in an orderly manner, Kevin scratched his hair and suppressed his voice.

"Report, there is a message from the advance search team." Just when Long was about to respond to Mei, a messenger's voice interrupted him

"Connected." Long said.

He sat in the main command position in the middle, watching the constant information on the big screen and making his own judgment.

"Yes."

Soon, the detection camera footage of the captain of one of the advance search teams appeared on the big screen, and his voice also appeared in the command room: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the remains of a biological body suspected to be Herrscher have been found... Judgment He has lost his ability to move."

I saw a big hole in the center of the Herrscher's body, almost occupying the entire width of her body. It only takes a few to break it completely...

"Leave it to the second team to gather the limbs while you explore the core of the Herrscher." Long's order entered the team's channel in real time.

"clear."

"Ah, I found it, the Herrscher Core—" As soon as he finished speaking, a team member exclaimed, then called the captain and ran over.

Just a few dozen meters away from the direction where the Herrscher's corpse fell, a gem was deeply embedded in it.

Looking at the pictures coming from everyone in the team, Mei put her hand on her chin and said, "It seems... there was a powerful impact that penetrated directly through it, knocking out the Herrscher's core and embedding it into the ground."

"Then the Herrscher fell from the sky..."

Brand new branches: 360. Mei’s intuitive tracking

"The report shows that based on the detector modeling, the attack on his body was a penetrating injury."

The voice of a member of the first advance team came, and the screen also showed the complete modeling of the Herrscher's remains by the instrument in her hand, as well as the analysis results of the base's AI.

"Hmm...", Long touched his chin: "After collecting the Herrscher cores, check if there are any abnormalities in the situation around the battlefield, then you can retreat. The rest will be left to the second team and logistics reconstruction."

"clear."

"As usual, consolidate the files." After Long said to the clerical staff in the command room, he nodded to Mei and Kevin: "Mei, you can take over."

Before she could agree, she walked outside.

...

Kevin looked at the big screen and wondered: "What is the teacher doing?"

"Maybe it's because the teacher knows something." Mei withdrew her gaze and looked at the virtually projected data stream in front of her.

"What do you know?" Kevin also looked at the huge data flow in the command room that almost gathered the status of combat teams around the world. He glanced at it for a few times. Although it was not difficult to understand, it was too troublesome.

Then he stood silently behind Mei with an empty mind.

Mei Gang sat down to check the situation, and a correspondent sent a message: "A carrier ship is setting off, requesting the base's take-off location."

Mei raised her head and looked at the takeoff request information on a secondary screen, Shiron.

Look at the destination again.

She nodded and said: "Agree, transfer to the air control tower according to the procedure." Then she looked at the virtual screen in front of her to compare the collected modeling of the Herrscher battlefield situation with the previous intact period.

Data from nearby surveillance equipment and satellite reconnaissance that may be intact are also collected here and can be explored.

"...Interesting." Mei murmured: "Teacher Long, what secrets are you hiding?"

"Other than fusion warriors, who else can kill the Herrscher instantly?"

[I haven’t fully understood the specific operating mechanism of the Fusion Warrior’s first acceptance of Honkai Energy and the establishment of immunity to it. It seems a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it... Mebius, this What is going on with this technology? 】

[Honkai and imaginary numbers... we still need to continue to study them. 】

"click..."

The sound of Mei pressing the cap of the ballpoint pen sounded. Her eyes did not shift to the white paper at hand. She could only scribble and draw on it with the pen in her hand.

Kevin glanced at it and couldn't see what the handwriting meant.

But he knew it was May thinking.

Then he returned his gaze to the normal angle and let his thoughts go again.

In the past seven years, Kevin, who wears a windbreaker, two pistols and various tactical accessories, has grown a lot.

Even seven years have passed without leaving any trace on his handsome face.

Rightfully so.

Although he has always been by Mei's side to protect her, he and Mei are only 24 years old after all.

It just made his young face look tougher.

If you want your handsomeness to deteriorate, it will probably take another 60 to [-] years~

Oh, not necessarily. After all, there are handsome uncles and handsome grandpas.

And the temperament of having experienced battles also adds a lot to Kevin's points.

"Kevin." Mei's gentle voice came.

"Ah."

Mei handed him a piece of paper and whispered with a smile: "Prepare a plane, you fly it, we will go to this place in three hours."

"Okay." Without saying a word, Kevin took the paper and walked out. As he walked, he looked at it to make sure where it was.

Although the handwriting on the piece of paper was very messy and unorganized, there were still several secret symbols written on it in several corners - unknown to others.

Kevin quickly used his brain. Just because he doesn't use it often doesn't mean he's stupid.

The decryption was quickly completed in the brain and a string of longitude and latitude coordinates were obtained.

As an elite professional warrior, Kevin visualized the map in his brain and very accurately entered the coordinates into the brain map to determine the exact location.

[Isn’t this... near the city where the teacher was going just now? 】

Kevin paused and opened his eyes. After confirming it again and again in his mind, he continued to move forward.

If we set off again in three hours, we won’t be rushed, but we won’t have enough time either.

Fortunately, with his status, he didn't need anything complicated.

At this moment, Long, his carrier plane just flew out of the base and immediately headed to another city.

If it takes three hours, half of the journey will be no problem.

......

Soon, Kevin had prepared a long-distance carrier aircraft and even arrived at the prepared landing point to wait.
