The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

Mikael didn't think that Shesha only had this strength. He poked his finger into the black mud again. Although it wasn't obvious at all, he could still feel that the numbness was gradually decreasing.

Himiko squatted beside him at some point, saw him pull out his fingers again, and couldn't help asking: "Did you find anything?"

"Is this black mud a kind of medium, or...pure lightning? This cannot be confirmed yet. The only thing that is certain is that the voltage will gradually decrease over time. Judging from the current intensity, combat The rubber sole of the boot is totally defensible."

"So... you mean, we can move forward with peace of mind?"

"No." Mikael shook his head, "The black mud will not appear out of thin air, and the common low-level Honkai beasts do not have such powers..."

"It's Herrscher!" Himiko blurted out, she looked around nervously, but in the dark night, there were only inhuman roars...

"Not necessarily, the emperor-level Honkai Beast, or even a higher-level Honkai Beast, is possible."

"Emperor-level Honkai..." Himiko pondered for a moment, and Mikael knew that she was recalling Luluye's battle in her mind to judge the strength of the emperor-level Honkai. After all, this level of Honkai Beasts, humans have encountered too few so far, not to mention, Mikael also hinted that it may be of a higher level.

And, obviously, there are others who share his views.

"Emperor-level Honkai beasts can't do this." Mebius, who suddenly appeared, said, "Good news, although the communication has not been completely restored, some text messages can already be sent. It can be confirmed that the third Honkai happened Yes, and the location - in Canghai City, but not limited to Canghai City."

Mebius stared at the back of Mikael's head with great interest, as if he wanted to cut it open with a scalpel to see what knowledge was stored inside.

"In Canghai City, not limited to Canghai City, what do you mean?" Himiko couldn't help thinking of the worst possibility.

"Yes, the intensity of the Houkai energy response in Canghai City has exceeded 4000HW. It is certain that the Herrscher was born here. Unfortunately, the entire eastern coast of China, including the extreme east, has been affected. The second and third teams Reinforced Tianqiong City and Changkong City respectively... As for other places, hmph..."

Mikael had been mentally prepared for a long time, but he could only let out a long sigh when he heard the words.

Sometimes it is really difficult to save a person, harder than saving the whole world, but sometimes it is too easy to save a person, such as Carol, which actually gave him an illusion, as if his mantis arm could really Like the wheels that stop the third crash.

"Okay, Mebius, let's talk about the question at hand."

Mikael waved his hand.His attitude made Mebius very upset, but after rolling her eyes, she soon realized something and took a deep look at Mikael.

"The Honkai energy in Canghai City is mainly concentrated on two individuals, one in the east city and one in the west city. The reaction in the east city is as high as 2700HW, while the individual in front of us has a reaction of 1100HW. There are no more than 1000HW, because the Houkai energy of more than this order of magnitude will collapse inwards on an individual, that is, the Herrscher."

"Then... this means that two Herrschers appeared in this Honkai!" Himiko wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

Mebius glanced at Mikael, "There are indeed two Herrschers...Famas is probably explaining Mikael's question to the staff in the conference room right now."

Himiko clenched and loosened the hand on Sturtle, loosened and clenched again.

Mikael didn't seem to care, he said: "One Honkai will only give birth to one Herrscher. Of course, the possibility of two Honkai erupting at the same time cannot be ruled out, but the energy responses of the two Herrschers will not be so different. huge."

"What's your opinion?" Mebius asked curiously.

Mikael glanced at her, "Before you ask me, please take out the satellite image from the headquarters..."

Mebius pouted, "No! You think too highly of human communication technology. It's not easy to send text messages under such strong electromagnetic interference."

"Uh...then let me be blunt. When the Herrscher was born, if the concentration of the Houkai energy was too high, there was a chance of forming a second collapse, that is, to choose another body besides the Herrscher to make it possess The strength is second only to the Herrscher. This is the Companion Honkai Beast, the Companion Honkai Beast, starting at the Emperor level, there is no upper limit, and it’s time for Moth of the Fire to add a new Honkai Beast classification—how about the Judgment level?"

Just when Mebius was about to reply, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the night sky to the west.

Behind the clouds, the giant anti-gravity engine has been howling for a long time, and now, the sword-like figure of Chaser Fire One finally broke through the clouds and appeared above the fifth team.

Mikael almost snapped the tendon between his eyebrows, but he didn't do anything except turn his head to look at the sky.

It was only then that Mebius and Himiko noticed that Mikael's index finger and middle finger were always pointing to the ground, and the two of them understood his purpose after a little thought—it was relying on vibrations to judge the movement of the accompanying Houkai beast.

"It's located underground, about tens of meters deep, and there's no movement, as if it's...waiting for something."

Mikael said softly.

But Mebius' face has changed drastically.

She handed the phone to the two of them, and there was only a short order from the headquarters:

Retreat.

Mikael seemed to have expected this result a long time ago.

"Wait a minute!" Himi shouted, "The voltage of the black mud keeps dropping, we can rescue all the survivors in this area first, and then..."

She hasn't finished her sentence yet, but the Fire Chaser No. 680 above her head has obviously received the order. Except for the [-]mm rail gun on the bow, the muzzles of the other rail guns rotate slowly, and finally aim directly below, and the rails light up. Blue light—that's right, after the upgrade of the Honkai Reactor, the Fire-Zhuo No. [-] engine can barely carry all the rail guns on the attack.

Mikael shook his head and put his hands in his trouser pockets, "There is no time. Since it has been confirmed that Herrscher is in the East City, we don't have much time to waste here. What's more, the Honkai Beast hides underground. Once we enter Its territory caused it to go crazy, and when the black mud covered the ground, and new black mud might be born at any time..."

There is no need for Mikeldo to say the following words, Himiko naturally understands.

only……

She took a deep look at him, she was not stupid, how could she not understand Mikael's little thoughts?

Is it because I heard that the Herrscher is in the East City, and I am too worried about Alicia's safety?

But she couldn't say anything to blame. For one thing, the headquarters didn't give them a choice at all.

Secondly, the two points Mikael said are also true. From an objective point of view, they have no choice.

At last……

Mikael... your hands are still shaking...

Chapter 14 The Wanderer and Shesha

The fifth team quickly retreated two kilometers. Many support company soldiers and military and police units around them didn't even have time to completely evacuate to a safe area. It fell like a cloud, but when it touched the ground, it just raised dust all over the sky, and there was no explosion immediately.

It's as if what the railgun fired just now was not a grenade, but iron lumps.

But Mikael knew that things were not simple. What they fired were special ground-piercing grenades, which could penetrate more than ten meters deep into the surface and cause a violent explosion.Naturally, this depth cannot cause harm to Shesha, but just like depth charges will not hit a submarine before exploding, the function of these ground-piercing grenades is only to draw Shesha out of the ground.

Suddenly, Mikael felt the soles of his feet tremble. Immediately afterwards, the area in front of him was nearly ten kilometers. This is the most proud central urban area of ​​Canghai City, which was gently lifted up like a piece of paper.

Numerous high-rise ruins were thrown into the air wantonly, and then fell down one after another.

Mikael quickly reached out to build a large barrier, and the next second, the fragments of the ruins fell on the fifth team.

"*!"

He heard Himi yelling and cursing. Fortunately, he reacted in time and protected all the soldiers of the fifth team and the support company, so that no accidental injury occurred.

Mebius hugged the phone and typed frantically, she was probably greeting something.

"Be careful!" Mikael reminded loudly.

The trembling of the ground has not stopped, and Mikael just spread his palms on the ground, and his expression changed suddenly:

"It's here!"

If ignoring the casualties almost caused to friendly forces, the attack of Zhuhuo No. [-] obviously achieved the set goal.The ruins of high-rise buildings on both sides shook violently, as if they would fall down in the next second. While the streets in the distance were vibrating, there was a "rustling" sound similar to metal rubbing against the ground. The smoke from a large number of explosions flowed along the narrow The street rewinds towards Team Five.

Himiko immediately turned on the bright flashlight, only to find that a huge black shadow had rushed in front of everyone under the cover of smoke and night!

"hiss!"

The first thing that got out of the smoke was a black snake letter that was as big as an adult's body, and then a pair of green pupils also appeared in the dust.

Mebius saw this scene as soon as she raised her head, her eyes met, she suddenly felt a light flash in her mind, but before she could see what the light was, a chill rose from the soles of her feet until On the top of the head, the skin is wrinkled along the way, and static electricity is vertical and horizontal.

"Drink!" A flame was ignited on Shirtel, but the other two huge arms had already risen from the ground one step ahead.

One mechanical hand held the huge snake head, and the other mechanical arm slapped the snake's body from the side, stopping Shesha's charge abruptly.

Under the cover of dust, Mikael could only hear the continuous "rumbling" sound, and then more dust filled the air, completely covering the night sky, and he could only vaguely see the rail gun lit up on Chaser-[-] The mouth——it was probably the tail of the snake sweeping across a fan shape, easily destroying several blocks. Of course, these blocks must have been reduced to ruins in the previous bombardment.

"Tch!" He snorted, and then his whole body rose up, reaching a height of 80 meters in an instant. At the same time, more and more blue lines outlined the prototype of a giant.

It was a giant mecha with a total height of nearly [-] meters. It was different from the bulky mechas used by the military and police today. It had slender limbs and a torso. Although the body was translucent and impractical, you could still feel the metal. cold light.

The turbine engine on the chest started to spin, turning faster and faster, and its roaring sound still completely overwhelmed the fire-chasing No. [-] in the air.

It controlled the head of the hundreds of meters long giant snake with both hands, and brought half of the snake's body into the air. At first glance, it seems that it is not that it is too big with Shesha, but that the whole city and human beings are too small It seemed—it was really like a man and a snake were fighting, and the surrounding city ruins were just fake models built by Tokusho.

"This...what the hell is this..." The light blue fluorescence illuminated the entire night, and Himiko looked at the mechas blocking her and the fifth team, with mixed feelings in her heart.

A similar situation also happened in Irkune City, but this time, she had no way to help him hide it.

Mikael looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. It would take half a minute for the energy of the turbine engine to be transmitted to the limbs and bones of the mecha, so that it can exert its full combat effectiveness.

"Finally let you out—Wanderer." He is very satisfied with this mecha, which is based on the existence in his memory and is actually built with the technology of modern civilization—whether it is in terms of appearance, weapons or controls. The way and other aspects are the same as those in the memory, and because a certain person's brain capacity is far beyond ordinary people, only he can drive by himself.

The only shortcoming is probably that the original operating system is retained. While it is convenient to control, the injuries suffered by the mech will be fed back to Mikael in the form of neuralgia.

What's even more coincidental is that even the opponents the Rangers have to face are also silicon-based creatures.

The upper body has been warmed up, Mikael clenched his left fist, which corresponds to the left hand clenched on the homeless person, the thruster at the wrist sprayed out blue and white fireworks, and hit the snake hard, tearing the black scales It was splashed.

Shesha suffered a severe blow, her whole body writhed like a convulsion, and her thick snake tail whipped around, making the dilapidated city even more corrupt.

The wanderer obviously couldn't control its body with one hand. As a last resort, Mikael could only give up the attack with his left fist, and used his fist as a claw, trying to hold Shesha's body.

But he soon discovered that the overly thick snake body could not be held stably at all. Instead, he simply went a step further, clamping Shesha's body with the arms and armpits of the homeless, and then dragged it towards the river with strides.

Shesha continued to struggle, and a large amount of black mud began to flow out from the gaps in the scales all over her body. Mikael suddenly felt that the snake in his arms began to become slippery.

But the more deadly thing is yet to come. The black mud seeped into the gaps between the homeless' joints, and the electric snake snaked and covered the whole body of the homeless in an instant. Although it would not paralyze him, Mikael could clearly feel the movement of the homeless Starts to be sluggish and stiff.

"I ****" Mikael was very uncomfortable, he felt the deep malice in this world - the Herrscher of the Sky, the Herrscher of Thunder...why is his majestic number one Herrscher always restrained in terms of ability? Damn it!

Shesha felt the pressure on her body eased, and it quickly wrapped its lower body around the homeless man, and kept tightening.

"Crackling", the metal was constantly squeezed, resulting in a slight deformation, but this pain reflected on Mikael himself, causing him to groan directly.

Mikael let go of the wanderer's right hand, turned it into a fist, and hammered Shesha's head from top to bottom. The neutral part of the fist bit the wanderer's right arm.

A large amount of black mud was poured into the right arm of the homeless man through Shesha's fangs. The virtual cockpit where Mikael was in turned on a red light for warning. In just two or three seconds, the part symbolizing the right arm on the screen first marked red, then turned black.But Mikael only felt his right hand go cold and lost consciousness, as if this arm didn't exist at all.

"I unilaterally declare that the Pacific Rim project has failed..."

Mikael silently sentenced the homeless to death.

But the battle is not over yet. If it is simply to reappear the wanderer, then I am too sorry for Mikael's hard work in the past few months.

The connection between the wanderer's right arm and the shoulder was suddenly disconnected, and a new mechanical arm stretched out. At the same time, the speed of the turbine engine almost reached the limit. Dozens of mechanical arms grew out of thin air from behind the wanderer, forming a half. The circular fan helps it break free from Shesha's entanglement.

"I'm sorry, magic reform is king!"

The homeless fell forward, and the whole city centered on the place where it fell. It pressed Shesha tightly under it, and the mechanical arm behind it kept pounding on the snake's body.

Scales flew everywhere, and the black mud overflowed, covering half of the homeless man's body, making his movements more and more sluggish.

Almost at the same time, Shesha stopped howling, and the wanderer's fist also stopped in mid-air.

The blue light gradually dissipated, leaving only the silver-haired boy standing on top of the snake's head.

Panting heavily, Mikael walked to the green snake pupils that were only one floor high. Now, the pupils are gradually slackening, reflecting the continuous loss of vitality.

Shirtel appeared in Mikael's hand, and the blade quickly ignited flames.He held the big sword vertically at his waist, and then stabbed fiercely into Shesha's eyeball covered in black mud.

The flames collided with the "black mud"-shaped thunder and lightning, instantly blasting a huge gap in Shesha's head. Mikael was also shaken by the aftermath and flew upside down, just in time to fall into the viewing beach beside the river.

"It's okay... at least it's not as embarrassing as it was in Luluye." Mikael silently scored himself a point, looking at Dongcheng across the river, and taking advantage of the ubiquitous Honkai in the air to restore his physical strength.

Facts have proved that the consumption and return of forcefully activating the core of the Second Herrscher are not directly proportional. I still remember that in Luluye, every time he uses a space jump within the line of sight, he consumes almost all the Houkai energy.And with the same amount of Honkai energy, there is still a little surplus after constructing a modified version of the homeless and fighting a battle.

Of course, under certain circumstances, the core role of the Second Herrscher is irreplaceable, but it cannot make up for Mikael's lack of output ability.

"It would be great if I could touch the core of the Third Herrscher...just touch it. That's not right, it's impossible to fight against the Third Herrscher with a fake core of the Third Herrscher."

Just as he was thinking so wildly, a touch of pink suddenly appeared in the dark night sky.

It was a crystal arrow, it flew high into the sky, exploded suddenly, and then turned into a huge dome, covering a small half of the east city.

"Ellie!"

Chapter 15 East Side

"This way!"

When the building collapsed, Ellie grabbed Eden, and the pink crystal quickly wrapped their bodies, and then fell to the ground from a height of hundreds of meters.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..." There were hundreds of crystal-encased bodies that fell together, which was already the limit of Ellie's ability.

But soon, even this trivial effort was wiped out in an instant-hundreds of high-rise buildings around them collapsed, and countless wreckage piled down, leaving living, dead, whole or incomplete bodies All buried under the ruins.

"boom!"

Ellie smashed the reinforced concrete, ruins and stones nearly three meters above her head with one punch. She jumped onto the ruins in twos and threes, then got down on her body and dragged Eden out.

"Ahem! This...what the hell is going on here!" Eden knelt on the ruins, coughing continuously due to the dust choking her. She rubbed her chest and raised her head, looking at everything in front of her in disbelief.

A few tens of seconds ago, she and Ellie were sitting between the exquisite boxes, overlooking the rolling eastward river surface rippled by the drizzle through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, looking forward to the neon lights that will be lit up to endow the floating The color of the flying rain allows them to interweave brilliant colors in the air.

But now, as the purple lightning flashed across, everything around was annihilated in the dust.The iron forest that human beings are proud of was uprooted by the violent thunder and storm, and there was nothing left.
