Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

"But I have connections, Li." Rarely, Mebius interrupted Li's words. She looked at his dull expression, shook her head, and said, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. I won't help you."

At this moment, Mebius' communicator also vibrated. She sighed and walked out the door. "The operation is ready... I will do my best to keep this kid alive."

"..."

Li did not answer her, but just stared at Mebius's departure. Until the door was closed and she was left alone in the empty room, Li's posture remained unchanged.

Of course, the apparent blow did not hinder Li's inner activities.

First of all, as expected of the Seventh Herrscher with inflated stats, Kevin was able to pin the Sixth Herrscher to the ground and beat him before, but when it came to the Seventh Herrscher, he was directly beaten back, and even Alicia was KOed together with him.

Secondly, this fusion surgery is not even my turn? !

Before, when I had resistance, they said my resistance was too high. Now that I have no resistance, they complain that my resistance is too low and my body is too weak?

I just want to be a fusion warrior, why is it so difficult!

Li's long-cherished dream was shattered again, and she felt like she was about to cry, but fortunately, she was always an optimistic and positive person at heart - if the genes of the Honkai beast might cause her genes to be assimilated, then she could just change to a track that did not require the fusion of the Honkai beast genes.

Since Mebius' genetic science doesn't work, he will go back and discuss with Velvet to see if he can directly transplant a Herrscher core into himself... After all, if he buys this thing in the mall, it will cost seven or eight figures.

If you can't be a fusion warrior, then you can be a human-made law maker. Li has never been picky!

Volume 216: Faith Extinct in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : The Fleeting Seventh Herrscher

"Kevin, your courage is the only thing that can be praised."

Two days later, in front of the operating room of the Fire Moth headquarters, the fully prepared Mebius looked coldly at Kevin who was sitting on the side waiting: "You dare to take the initiative to apply for this operation... Humph, although it doesn't matter to me if you die, but for her sake, I will still give you a warning first - you still have time to turn around and leave now. When Mei comes later, you may not be able to leave even if you want to."

"I won't leave. I need this power to kill the Herrscher." Kevin had a blank expression on his face, as if he was not the one about to undergo an experiment with a zero chance of survival. "I will complete the missions she originally wanted to undertake."

"Her mission?" Mebius laughed disdainfully. "She never had any mission, Kevin. Everything she did was just a burden she brought upon herself. Her own dream...can no longer be realized."

Savior, what a great word. However, a weak person whose body is not even as good as that of an ordinary person cannot possibly be worthy of this name.

The dream he once had is now out of reach for him.

"...So, let me make it happen." Kevin looked at his hands, then slowly clenched them, "Starting with today's surgery that she had once envisioned."

Idiots... Kevin and she are both equally stupid, risking their lives for other people.

But all of Kevin's persistence comes from his love for Li. Even if this love is selfless, it is just a personal affair.

And Li...

Mebius said nothing more, but just looked silently at Mei who was walking towards the other end of the corridor.

……

When Kevin was lying in bed for surgery with his life hanging in the balance, Li sat in his ward as usual, looking at the scenery.

Li was not worried at all that Kevin would fail during the fusion warrior surgery. After all, he was one of the protagonists of this era and had successfully lived to 5 years later. The fusion warrior surgery might be a risky gamble for others, but for Kevin, it was most likely just a scene to get a cheat.

The development was just as Li expected. A few hours later, she received the message from Mebius.

Kevin's operation was successful. Now he has become the first fusion warrior of mankind, and he went directly to the scene of the crusade against the Seventh Herrscher.

The Seventh Herrscher, a human being who now has no way to stop, burned half of the Australian continent in just a few days. Kevin was just a Fusion Warrior Unit-01 who had undergone a Fusion Warrior surgery and had no idea what the effect would be.

The battle between these two people must have been extremely thrilling for Kevin to win - most people might think so, but Li knew that for Kevin, a mere Seventh Herrscher was at most just a small part of his invincible career.

Why did Li always want to become a fusion warrior? Isn't it because Kevin's strength is online?

But even though the plan was put forward several years in advance, something unexpected still happened during the operation? Kevin's temperature dropped to -30 degrees Celsius...

Looking at the message sent by Mebius, Li showed sadness on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

It’s good to have side effects, as it makes it easier for her to gain Kevin’s favor and energy!

At minus 30 degrees, this can hardly be considered a human being, right? Even ordinary people have difficulty interacting with him.

And that's when it's time for me to show up!

But what I should do now...

After reading the message on her phone, Li could no longer conceal the worry on her face. She closed her phone and hurried out of the room, running towards the take-off field where Kevin was going to attack.

As an actor, you must have your own professional qualities.

But of course, with Li's current physical condition, long-distance running is already a very arduous task for her. When Li finally arrived at the take-off field out of breath, Kevin had already rushed to the battlefield in a flying vehicle.

“…Is it too late?”

Sweat dripped down Li's face. She stared blankly at the sky in the distance and murmured, "I'm sorry, Kevin... If I could be more useful..."

The sun was shining brightly, but the figure of Li standing alone in the open space made people feel lonely and cold.

Amid the burning ruins, Hua struggled to move a broken wall away, opening a path for the victims trapped inside.

"This way...there's a rescue point to the west."

Hua tiredly told these frightened people the direction of the Fire Moth's base, then sat down tiredly against a broken wall in the ruins, trying to keep himself awake.

"You look very unwell, do you need me to help you there?"

An elegant and moving female voice came from the front. Hua barely opened his eyelids and looked at the opposite side: "You are the one on the stage before - I, I seem to remember your name... Are you Eden? This is your concert..."

"Yeah, it was supposed to be a concert..." Eden's smile was somewhat helpless and sad, "But now it's over... The flames have engulfed everything. I can't hear anything except wailing and screaming."

"I'm sorry if I..."

Hua wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped talking.

If she had come earlier, she still wouldn't be able to help much. After all, she was just an ordinary soldier, and most of the members of her team had died at the hands of their most trusted captain.

But if I hadn't stopped Li at that time, if I had let her kill the captain...

Hua didn't know if she could make the same choice again, but now she couldn't change anything.

Li saved her at that time, but his life or death was uncertain... Is she okay now?

At that time, the captain burned everything around her, but she did not kill everyone. She even greeted her with a smile - is she really an inhuman Herrscher?

"You are confused." As if seeing Hua's thoughts, Eden said softly, "I don't know what you have been through, but no matter what, we should do what we can do at that moment, even now."

"…But I don't know what I should do now." Hua shook his head silently.

Should he go to look for the monster who is not sure whether he is the captain or the Herrscher? Or should he go to the headquarters to visit Li who is not sure whether he can recover?

Hua has no idea how to make the right choice, and her choice will not have any impact on things.

That's why Hua followed the rescue team to these disaster areas to save the victims. This was the only thing she could do... and it also allowed her to wait until there was only one choice.

Yidian looked at the frustrated Hua and wanted to say something, but suddenly raised his head in confusion and looked at the small snowflakes floating in the sky: "...It's snowing?"

Volume 217: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : Preparation for Talk Therapy

Himiko, the captain of the fifth team of the Fire Moths, has a very good relationship with Kevin and even provides him with a lot of help as a senior.

When Kevin saw Himiko, she acted the same way as she always did when she saw him, calling her name and greeting him warmly.

But Kevin did not hesitate, not even for a moment. He used all his strength to use ice to completely kill this friend who looked no different from usual.

The surrounding area has turned into an ice field, and even the flames of fires farther away have been extinguished due to the extremely low temperature.

Kevin stood there and silently looked at Himiko's body in front of him.

This time he did not hesitate, he took on the responsibility that Li was originally supposed to bear!

but……

There seemed to be confusion on Himiko's face, as if she didn't know why her friend wanted to kill her.

Kevin's hands were shaking slightly, because he still remembered the way the person in front of him discussed with him not long ago the topic of the new member of the team being too lively.

Even if she became a Herrscher, Himiko was still his true friend... and he killed her with his own hands.

So what if it’s not Himiko next time, but someone else?

If the other party is Li, what should I do...

The pressure was building up in Kevin's heart, but his expression didn't change at all - since he had to take Li's place as the savior, he couldn't waver.

Kevin could only pray that the worst situation would not happen.

-

The fusion warrior showed his prowess on his first appearance and instantly defeated the Seventh Herrscher.

The Fire Moths, who were originally helpless in the face of the Seventh Herrscher's destruction of half the continent, were in a gloomy mood, but after hearing this news, they became cheerful again.

Since humans have such a powerful weapon as the Fusion Warrior, how could they be defeated by a mere Honkai? !

Originally, there were no volunteers for the fusion warrior surgery, but soon after Kevin defeated the Seventh Herrscher, it became a popular operation that everyone rushed to sign up for. But after more than ten failed cases, it became deserted again.

It would be great if you could become a superman, but the success rate is so low that it's not worth risking your life.

Moreover, it is hard to say whether the so-called fusion warriors can still be called human beings after the operation. After all, they have the genes of Honkai beasts in their bodies, and their behavior is different from that of normal humans. Take Kevin for example, his body temperature is so low that ordinary people will get frostbite if they stand next to him, and they can't even have a basic face-to-face conversation.

As the first human to successfully undergo a fusion warrior surgery, Kevin went from a fearless idiot to a hero, and then to an outlier... The way people around him viewed him changed dramatically in a very short period of time.

Kevin didn't say anything about this, he still had a cold face all day, which made other people's rumors more and more intense - Kevin who underwent the transcendence surgery must have been affected by the genes of the Honkai beast, so he began to lose even human emotions!

Losing human emotions... If I could really be emotionless, maybe I would feel better.

In a corner of an empty park at the Fire Moth headquarters, Kevin was alone, filling his stomach with instant noodles.

After the Sixth Herrscher incident, Mobius's lab no longer welcomed him. Even if he wanted to take the lunch box made by Li, he couldn't do it... Even now that Li was injured, Kevin didn't know if she could make lunch boxes for them every day as before. After the fusion warrior surgery, Mobius' attitude towards him was slightly better, but it was not gentle. In addition, his body temperature would have a bad effect there, so Kevin would not disturb him.

As for the cafeteria... now those people avoid Kevin as if he were a dirty thing. This is not only because of the rumors, but also because of the side effects of his body temperature - after all, no one wants to eat in a temperature of minus 30 degrees.

Even when eating instant noodles, Kevin now has to use the special lunch box he got from Weiwei, otherwise he can only eat ice cubes and noodles.

I don't know how Li is doing now...

"What are you doing sitting here by yourself, Kevin?"

"... Li?"

Kevin looked up suddenly. Who else could be standing next to him but Li, whom he had been thinking about all day?

She was not wearing the uniform of the Fire Moth combat unit as before. In the hot summer, Li only wore a white dress and a large sun hat on her head. Her temperament was completely different from the heroic and free and easy style of the past, but rather had a sense of being a weak lady.

Li bent down and looked at Kevin's lunch box, then shook his head helplessly: "Eating instant noodles again... What's the posture?"

No wonder Li asked the question. After all, Kevin's body was leaning back as Li leaned forward, and he even turned his head away and refused to look at her. The look was really funny.

"You'll get frostbite if you get too close to me," Kevin said vaguely.

This was the biggest reason, and the other was - when Li bent down in this suspender dress, he was worried that he would see something he shouldn't see!

"I see. I did hear that..." Li seemed not to notice Kevin's thoughts. She stood up and sat lightly on the other end of the bench where Kevin was sitting. "Do you eat instant noodles every day now?"

“Sometimes I order takeout… but most of the time the food is frozen by the time I pick it up.” Seeing that Li’s posture was no longer dangerous, Kevin finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat up straight again.

Seeing Kevin's performance, Li just wanted to laugh secretly in her heart - brat, did you think I was going to give you a treat? You're thinking too much, I just wanted to tease you! She bought this dress from the system mall with two energy points, it's a [Dress that can never be seen], even if she performs a handstand on the spot, it won't fall off!

But the smile in her heart did not affect the sadness on her face. Li Xing lowered her eyes slightly and said, "That must have been a very bad feeling."

"...It's okay." Kevin stood up silently, "There are still tests today, I will--"

"Kevin, are you going to hide from me again?"

Li's words made Kevin stop in his tracks.

"I'm not, Li, I just--" Kevin didn't know how to express it.

He just felt that he didn't have the face to meet the other person.

"If not, can we talk?" Li smiled, but looked a little sad. "How long has it been since we last talked?"

After a long silence, Kevin finally sat back on the bench, but at the edge opposite to where Li was. He didn't want the temperature from his body to hurt Li.

"I heard about your condition from Alicia. She said that your current condition is not very good and you may need a good psychiatrist."

"I thought she hated me so much right now."

"After all, she is a very kind person. Even if she is a little dissatisfied with you, she will calm down quickly and will not leave you alone." Li smiled, "Although I am not a psychologist, I still want to talk to you... If I can help you in any way, that would be great."

"..." Looking at Li's gentle eyes, Kevin hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Li, do you dream? Dream about those dead people..."
