The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

Kevin looked at Mei, who was constantly sneezing and sniveling, and was at a loss for a while. He loved Mei, so he unconsciously wanted to get closer to Mei, but for Mei, he could only stay farther away from her. Some.

Only then did he understand what the so-called dilemma was referring to.

Only then did he understand what kind of sacrifices he had made behind becoming a "hero"—even though he easily killed Herrscher, even though he became the object of admiration and adoration by many people, even though his combat power might have been comparable to Mikay's. So what?

These things that he had childishly expected, now seem to be insignificant at all, if compared with what he paid - he can no longer hug May.

Even when approaching, one has to step by step and control the distance. Every centimeter that advances has the risk of frostbite Mei.

Fifty centimeters, this is the limit distance, if she gets closer, no matter how many layers of cotton clothes she wears, she will not be able to resist the severe cold radiating from her body.

So what else can he say?

In the end it was Mei who spoke first, but she did not talk about complicated philosophical speculations as usual, but practical work topics.

"Cosmo... what happened to that kid?"

"His physique, Houkai resistance, and reaction speed are all excellent, and he also has the will to fight, but... I heard that he once wanted to join the fifth team, but for some reason, he stayed with me in the end. But...the Fifth Herrscher was killed by me, I don't know how...to face him."

Kevin's tone didn't seem to be jumping out from before, he even turned his head away, trying to control his breath as much as possible - his body temperature reached minus [-] degrees, even if the breath he exhaled accidentally hit Mei's face, It's also easy to hurt her.

"Kevin, you are forced to. I may not have explained it clearly to you, but I think you understand more or less—from the second to the fourth Herrscher, although human beings have won all the victories, the flame moth suffers from psychological problems. There are more and more soldiers with problems, and people are getting more and more desperate. Why?

"Because all the victories were brought by a Herrscher, and human beings themselves do not have the ability to defeat large-scale collapse, so the first battle of the fusion warrior must be a vigorous victory, so as to give more People hope that this plan can be pushed forward and the civilization we depend on can be protected—Mikael also understands this truth, so he left the opportunity to kill Herrscher to you."

"Of course I understand, besides, according to the calculation results of No. [-] that you showed me, if this continues, there will always be Herrschers that cannot be dealt with by Mikael's power, so we have to implement the fusion warrior plan... "

"No, Kevin, you don't understand...I mean, even if there is a debt, even if I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for him, that's not what you need to be responsible for him, not to mention, according to Mikael , the emotions shown by the fifth Herrscher are just the result of the fusion of the consciousness lowered by the collapse and the subconsciousness of the original body. I have also performed calculations. The probability of the appearance of a Herrscher like Mikael has to be more than 50 after the decimal point Zero...so, this is all my responsibility!"

"No, Mei, what does that have to do with you? You don't want me to take the blame, but you don't have to take it all on yourself. Don't those..."

A deadly silence enveloped the boat under the moon again.

How long has it been?

1 minutes? 5 minutes?Or 10 minutes?

Mei Cai finally spoke again:

"Kevin, what do you think about the future of mankind and how to fight against Honkai in the future...or what do you think about anti-entropy?"

"In the future of mankind, there are things like fighting against Houkai, and I don't really understand... But isn't that your strong point, Mei? I just need to listen to you! As for anti-entropy... Of course, we must fight side by side. Alright! I don’t want to meet Mikael, but after all, he’s really serious. I’m not my opponent now, right? Not to mention Alicia, Sakura, and that Chikage man."

"Hmm... What does it mean to fight side by side? Is it the same as the Fifth Herrscher, or..."

"Of course it's the best as it was in the third Honkai! I really want Mikael and the others to go back to Chasing Moth... Not to mention anything else, if we also have the second God's Key, I will We can come back from the mission in one day, and then we can have more time."

Kevin looked at Mei, and saw his bitter smile in her crystal clear eyes.

But Mei's eyes narrowed quickly: "Okay, you said, let us spend more time in the future!"

So Kevin's smile was no longer bitter - this was the first time he saw such a bright smile on May's face.

In the initial memory, Mei was still the slightly ignorant and young girl, but after joining the flame moth, she gradually became intellectual, rational and with a touch of coldness that even Kevin sometimes felt uncomfortable.

Even when May smiled, it was often just a shallow smile or a chuckle.

She had never smiled so brightly and happily, revealing her emotional side that was deliberately hidden.

For Kevin, this is also rare...

"By the way, Kevin, do you know that the base has a plan to build an underground city? We may still be in the underground artificial lake by then... Hehe."

"Underground city? Is it the one in the novel?"

"That's right! This was suggested by your girlfriend."

Mei raised a finger, and there was a hint of pride in her tone.

"The original plan was to have 88 floors underground, but looking at the funds that can be applied for now..."

Before Mei finished speaking, she kept staring at Kevin's face, but saw that handsome face suddenly turned pale——

"Mei! Head down!"

The fine hairs, even the snow-white hairs are standing on end - that is the danger perception brought by the fusion factor, which belongs to the biological instinct.

So, one second before the gunshot sounded, Kevin constructed an ice and snow barrier covering the entire boat, and threw Mei down.

Then, the special large-caliber soul steel bullet shattered the barrier, and a brilliant blood flower bloomed on Kevin's body instantly.

Chapter 28 Seriously injured?die?

"Quick! Quick! Faster!"

Noisy footsteps echoed in the corridor, and the soldiers and researchers coming and going felt a bit of chill at first, and then saw Dr. Mei leading the way, Aldemere and Evangeline pushing a bed of wounded one after the other and running wildly.

"This chill...is Captain Kevin?"

The face of the wounded was covered by the blood-stained bed sheet, but based on the terrified Dr. Mei and the chill radiating along the road, the identity of the wounded was also revealed.

but……

"How is it possible? How could Captain Kevin be seriously injured?"

"It's not a question of being injured or not—who can hurt Captain Kevin like this at the headquarters!"

Except for the soldiers who were on guard duty, almost everyone who had seen this scene rushed away following Mei's footsteps.

Until the end, he was stopped in front of the laboratory.

Aldemir's hands were covered with chilblains, but he stopped everyone with a gun.

"Don't come near anyone!"

With red eyes, he quickly opened the safety, and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the crowd.

Everyone who was caught by his quasi-consciousness took a step back silently——

No one wants to raise this eyebrow. Aldemir has already committed many serious crimes that can almost be sentenced to death, such as holding a gun without an order, guarding without an order, and intimidating his comrades. Who knows if he will pull the trigger in a mental breakdown?

Most people are just eating melons, and there is no need to risk their lives. As for those who really care about Captain Kevin and the situation, they will not take drastic actions.

"Aldemir, what's going on? Captain Kevin is injured?"

Finally someone tried to speak.

Aldemir nodded slightly.

"Does it matter if the injury is serious?"

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

"Who can hurt the captain at the headquarters?"

"Why not send it to the medical department?"

For these questions, Aldemir responded with silence.

Just a moment later, he suddenly leaned decadently on the metal door of the laboratory, lowered his head, let his body slide down slowly, and finally fell to the ground.

The teardrops ran across the cheeks, met at the chin, and then formed a silver line in the air.

The noise died away.

Inside Flamemoth, the story of Aldemere, the captain of the fifth squad, and Kevin, the captain of the first squad, is not a secret.The two joined the army before and after the third Honkai, and it is said that they had an intersection when they were in Luluye. For a long time after the third Honkai, the relationship between the two was not good.

But it is said that during an investigation before the fourth collapse, Kevin was involved in the space rift in order to save Aldemir. Kevin...

Is there more bad luck than good?

Many times, silence is scarier than response.

Response will bring a definite ending, while silence will give people infinite reverie—everyone is trying to figure out what they think is true based on what they see with their naked eyes.

And few are willing to admit that they were wrong in their judgment.

But no matter how you speculate, after all, another question that can't be passed lingers in everyone's mind: Who injured Kevin?How did you get hurt?

A discordant voice suddenly appeared from the crowd:

"Then don't even think about it. Besides Herrscher, who else in this world can quietly injure Captain Kevin without causing any aftermath of the battle?"

"The Herrscher? Has a new Herrscher been born? No?"

"Are you stupid? They are talking about the First Herrscher!"

"The First Herrscher... isn't he on our side?"

"You believe what he said? Herrscher himself is the messenger of Honkai. Why does he have to help us? I think he just has other plans!"

"If the First Herrscher is really on the side of us humans as he said, why did he defect from Flamechaser and build his own power?"

"I used to work with Mi... the First Herrscher in the fifth team. From the point of view of common sense, he really looks no different from ordinary human beings, and he has never harmed human beings before. I think it may be him himself. He has been fighting against the consciousness that Honkai descended, but he has failed now, the Herrscher has controlled his body!"

"It makes sense, it must be so!"

"Big Brother's analysis makes sense!"

The two who spoke out the first silently withdrew from the crowd and looked at each other in the dark—with a little guidance, the crowd would naturally think of the most reasonable possibility.

So people turned their attention to Aldemir again. After all, the relationship between Mikael and Aldemir is well known. The survivor brought back by Luluye.

But Aldemir just raised his hand and touched the tears, so the silver thread fell faster, accompanied by the twitching of his shoulders and the sound of sobbing.

"Masaka..."

"Really are……"

In fact, Aldemir didn't say anything or do anything, but everyone has already given their own answers in their hearts.

"What?"

"Don't gather for no reason, let's all do what we should do."

Himiko and Ken walked side by side, the former's arm was still wrapped in bandages, and he walked with a limp, obviously the injury was not healed quickly.

"It's Captain Himiko and Captain Scar!"

"Did the higher-ups startle too?"

Himiko looked at Hen with some hesitation, who nodded and said, "What happened...huh?"

He suddenly took out the vibrating mobile phone from his pocket and connected it in front of everyone.

"What's the situation? Why use this kind of unencrypted communication... What, the headquarters network was attacked by an unknown hacker and has been paralyzed? Can't even communicate normally? Wait a minute, there is something wrong here with Dr. Mei, me and Himiko settles the matter here before going to the Situation Room, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, he turned his head and looked at Himiko.

"Captain Hen! What happened? Has the headquarters' network been attacked?"

"The unknown hacker still has such ability, could it be Wei Wei?"

"Isn't it? If it's Wei Wei, it should be so public that everyone knows it's her..."

"Then who else? Can easily break through the fire moth's firewall, it can't be the ghost, right?"

Seeing these people's words getting more and more outrageous, Hen immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Everyone go back to their posts! Do what you should do! The more you don't mess around at this time, understand!"

Although it is a cliché, but when the Chief Instructor Hen utters it, the power is naturally different.

The crowd of onlookers took a few steps back hesitantly, and then reluctantly dispersed.

It's just that their footsteps suddenly stopped in place again, each of them pricked up their ears, and looked at Himiko who walked in front of Aldemir from the corner of his eye.

"Don't cry, Aldemir, tell us, what happened?"

Aldemir sobbed twice more, seeing that the person who spoke was his captain, he immediately stood up, and then whispered to Himiko's ear:

"Tonight is customary...the last day of the holiday...they went on a boat date in the middle of Daming Lake...were..."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the volume of the words was controlled very precisely, as if he lowered his voice, but it happened to be heard by most of the people present, but at the end, he lowered his voice again. The voice, what was said in detail, only Himiko heard.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and she asked repeatedly: "Really?"

"There is no doubt about it!"

"What about Kevin now?"

Aldemir pursed his lips and remained silent.

Now Lian Hen became visibly irritable.
