The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

Kehua still caught a glimpse of Mikael's grinning mouth, which seemed to be a proud expression, but what was he proud of?

No, no, not so much "satisfaction", it is better to say that it is a kind of relaxation that can be completely released after being suppressed for a long time.

It's really easy. For Mikael, he doesn't have to worry about the exposure of power, the abnormality of Honkai's reaction, and nothing else. He just needs to fight with his hands and feet. This is the first time in so many years.

"bass!"

Countless mechanical arms spread out from the back of the half-human mecha, and finally arranged in a semicircle.

"Woo..." Out of copyright awareness considerations, Mikael almost shouted out the prototype of this trick.

But in fact, it’s meaningless to shout or not. Mikael even constructed a rocket propulsion device at the elbow of the mechanical arm. As the blazing lights lit up, iron fists hit the knight-level Houkai beast one after another. There was a dull echo on his body.

The dying chariot just took two breaths and felt that he could do it again. He raised his head and saw such a rough battle scene, he simply tilted his head, fell to the ground and continued to pretend to be dead.

"997, 998, 999, 1000! Stop!"

"Huh... 0.1 years of effort for this thousand punches! Can you stop it! Hehehe!"

Mikael counted and stopped attacking, not to mention the knight-level Honkai beast that was beaten into a puddle of silicone grease in front of him, and even the dozens of mechanical arms he constructed were all completely damaged by the high-intensity battle .

He glanced at the chariot that was still pretending to be dead, and one of the functioning mechanical arms was raised. After a few seconds of energy storage, the plasma cannon emitted a blue ray, piercing through the chariot's body.

"Oh Ver (over)!"

Mikael turned around and met the slightly dull eyes of Hua and Carol.

Dozens of flashlights lit up not far away, and it was members of the support company who followed up, preparing to receive the two survivors behind Mikael.

I don't know why, but during the handover, Mikael felt that everyone looked at him strangely...

"Uh... have you started to feel the estrangement?"

Mikael smiled bitterly, somewhat disappointed in his heart.

Especially when he looked at Xiang Hua, the other's eyes were a little dodgy...

Mikael waved his hand, "If there is no problem, I will continue to push forward."

He did not expect any unexpected answer.

But sometimes, the unexpected always appears when you think it will not be unexpected.

"That...that Brother Mikael!"

"what happened?"

He looked back at Carol.

"You are amazing... Can I learn that trick just now?"

Before he could answer, Hua shook her arm first, "Carol... this kind of power, no matter how you think about it, you can't just learn it!"

With the light of the flashlight, Mikael saw Hua quickly glanced at him. When he turned his gaze back, Hua quickly lowered his eyelids and looked away.

"Ah! Ah! I'm sorry, I'm so excited hehehe..."

Carol was taken away by the support company because she seemed mentally unstable and needed a counselor (hopefully not Erwin).

Before leaving, Mikael also heard two young soldiers of the support company give Carol science: "Did you see the glove on the arm of the captain of Mikael? That is called Void Wanzang. It is said that he just The ability is displayed by the Void Ten Thousand Zangs!"

And the other quickly retorted: "Hey! You are questioning the strength of the team leader Mikael, okay! Look at the results of the simulation training room, and let me tell you, even if there is no Void Wanzang, the team leader You can also easily kill those two Honkai Beasts!"

"You are the NCF, right! Although the physical fitness and adaptability of the Honkai team leader Mikael is really perverted to the point of despair..."

Mikael turned around silently and walked towards the darkness.

It turns out... Isn't it the rejection of aliens, is it just envy and longing for this kind of power?Such a misunderstanding...or...

It's just that the truth is always revealed.

"that……"

"Ok?"

Hua lowered his head and pursed his lips, with his hands behind his back, watching Mikael's disappearing back, and under the strange eyes of the soldiers around him, he finally said something in a voice as thin as a mosquito:

"Take care of yourself……"

Even the soldiers standing beside her couldn't hear the voice clearly, but Hua thought Mikael heard it.

Because she clearly saw that Mikael raised his arm and gave a thumbs up before turning into a blue light and disappearing.

His movements were also very light, so light that no one noticed except Hua.

Chapter 12 Black Mud

Flames and thick smoke rose from the distant city—that was where Himiko and the others were headed.

Accompanied by the fire is the round body of the stone-throwing Honkai Beast. It keeps throwing the balls generated in its belly. Such a heavy ball cannot be thrown very far, but the surface is too smooth. It didn't stop, but rolled in a farther direction, crushing everything in front of it—fortunately, the opponent's technique was toss it, and the ball landed at a large angle, and there was a high probability that it would make a hole. Scroll again.

Mikael couldn't help being a little worried-can they really deal with this level of Honkai Beast?

Even though it is just a low-level Honkaimon in terms of classification, the destructive power endowed by its huge physique is infinitely close to that of an emperor-level Honkaimon.

But as half of the sky in the south was burned blood red, every dark cloud in the night was extremely clear, as if there were flames dancing on it... Such a scene was enough for him to let go of his hanging heart.

He waited on the spot for nearly an hour.

During this period, he looked towards the direction of the East City more than once, but it was completely submerged in the black mist, and apart from the occasional burst of thunder, there was no movement at all.

"What are you waiting for here?" A voice in his mind questioned him, and it has been questioned for a long time, countless times.

"How many people do you think you can save here? Did you save a hundred people all the way here before? Wake up, face the reality, this city has been completely destroyed, even if you save a few hundred people, That's only one ten-thousandth, so what's the use?"

"Or, do you think these hundreds of people weigh more than Alicia?"

Mikael's feet collapsed towards Dongcheng, and his pace became faster and faster.

"Yes, so what if Canghai City is destroyed? What if the world is destroyed? Didn't you just want to save Alicia from the beginning?"

That voice was still stimulating him in his mind, but he didn't doubt that it was actually his most selfish and true thought.

But his pace gradually slowed down.

"But what if Captain Himiko arrives here but can't find me... No, wait another 5 minutes, no, 10 minutes! The last 10 minutes!"

He knew he was lying, so he ended up back at square one.

After another half an hour, Himiko finally came to meet with dozens of team members.

Mikael had a panoramic view of their embarrassment, but... In fact, it is not difficult to see the sacrifice they just made just from the sharp drop in the number of people.

He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and guilty, but fortunately, the night is the best protective color, even Himiko couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

In just one battle just now, the reduction in the number of the fifth team has almost reached half, but Himiko seemed unaffected, and she even made a self-deprecating sentence: "Yo, it seems that you solved it easily. Unlike On our side, I almost won't see you."

Mikael didn't answer, mainly because he didn't know what to say. He knew enough about Himiko. The captain always buried all the negative emotions in his heart, but instead showed his positive side to his subordinates, just like It is an ever-burning torch that inspires them to move forward.

But there is no eternal burning torch, she is just burning herself, when she is alone in the dead of night...

In short, Mikael felt that it was better not to speak at this time, because he was not sure whether the words he was about to blurt would backfire.

But in Himiko's eyes, his hesitant expression was another expression.

She waved her hand to signal the soldiers to enter the state of rest, and some of them took turns to rest and stand guard.She herself approached Mikael and patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Still worried about Ellie?"

Mikael exhaled, "Um..."

"Relax, you see, there is no movement in Dongcheng, which is a good thing. Think about it, with Aili's strength, even if she does encounter Herrscher, she won't be helpless, and there will definitely be a fierce battle Now that there is no movement, doesn't it mean that she has not encountered fatal danger yet?"

Mikael was taken aback for a moment, but he was confused when he was concerned, and he never thought of this.

Himiko rubbed Mikael's fine silver hair for the first time, and she looked at the boy in front of her tenderly, without saying a word.

"I understand……"

Mikael quickly regained his mood, temporarily throwing the anxiety and worry into the corner.

After resting for 10 minutes, the fighters of the fifth team regrouped.

"The number of people is still too small." Mikael thought, although it has been expanded ten times, but what are 200 people not enough for?Not to mention that there are still some people stationed in Changkong City with Sakura.

They could only concentrate all the fighters of the fifth team on the center line, and the support company and the remaining military police in Canghai City controlled a small number of heavy mechs to cover the two wings, and advanced towards the big river bifurcation in the northeast direction.

And because the communication was cut off, the team couldn't spread out, and I don't know how many survivors will be missed...

Unexpectedly, the advancement was not hindered much.

The number of Honkai beasts in the city is much less than he imagined, and most of them are assault-level or floating-level Honkai beasts that can even be handled by the soldiers of the support company.

Even if there are occasional chariots, knights, or temple-level Honkai beasts that are several meters high, Himiko and Mikael do not need to take action of such a size, and the fighters of the fifth team who have received targeted training can handle them by themselves.

"It's not right." Mikael said softly to Himiko.

"Although I can't give a specific strength value like the instrument, I can feel that the concentration of Houkai energy around me is getting higher and higher, but the number of Houkai beasts obviously cannot match it."

Himiko's pupils narrowed slightly, and asked cautiously in a breathy voice, "It's Herrscher!"

"No...not sure."

He remembered that according to the original plot, the Third Herrscher was accompanied by the Houkai Beast——Shesha.

And the location, at least the location where Mebius recovered it in the end, is Canghai City.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether things will unfold as they have in the past.

In short, regardless of whether it is Shesha or the Third Herrscher nearby, be careful!

Thinking of this, Mikael suddenly felt a sticky sensation from the soles of his feet.

"what?"

He thought it was blood at first, but even if the blood flowed oars, it wouldn't be such a viscous touch between liquid and solid.

Soon, shouts came from other soldiers.

Himiko hastily turned on the flashlight and shone it on his feet.

That's black mud all over the ground... No, is it really mud?

Stepped in, and then slowly pulled out, a lot of black sticky objects were stuck to the soles of the shoes.Himiko hopped on one foot and took two steps back, but the black mud sticking to his feet stretched into filaments, which continued.

A bold soldier crouched down, trying to touch the black mud with his hands.

"Do not……"

When Mikael found out, it was already too late.

The soldier's index finger just touched the black mud lightly, and a puff of green smoke rose from his body, and he fell headlong.

The soldiers beside him hurriedly wanted to help him up, but when their hands touched the body of the previous person, another puff of smoke rose up, and he fell headlong.

There was a third foolish warrior who wanted to help someone, and Mikael quickly constructed a wooden stick to drive that person back.

"Back off!"

All the fighters retreated to the clear road, and Mikael dragged the two bodies out with two rubber hook locks.

He put on rubber gloves again and examined the body.

"Electricized to death."

He summed it up succinctly.

With a "plop", the soldier he had just opened with a wooden stick fell to the ground, panting heavily.

Only then did Mikael realize that the man was Aldemir.

He couldn't help kicking the opponent's feet lightly: "It's really lucky."

"It looks like Shesha didn't run away..."

Chapter 13 Retreat

"The voltage is not too high... No, it is relatively not too high, otherwise even the rubber soles will be broken down."

Mikael silently analyzed.

Then, under the astonished eyes of the others, he poked lightly into the black mud with his index finger.

After a while, he pulled out his finger, and between breaths, a puff of blue smoke came out of his mouth.

"Fortunately, ordinary people will definitely not be able to resist it, but Herrscher's physique is not greatly affected, and even the numbness is so slight that it can be ignored."
