章 50: Chapter 50
The man in the suit's face turned red from anger hearing the sarcasm in Shirou's words.
As the captain of the first team, he's a predator standing on the front line all year round.
He can kill his comrades who have lost their reason because they cannot withstand the erosion of Honkai Energy without any emotional fluctuation.
When encountering an extreme situation that requires him to die, he can carry out the battle without frowning because he firmly believes that these actions are correct and have positive value.
The top executives of the Fire Moths are not noble people who can give everything for the continuation of human civilization.
These despicable politicians are hypocritical, and selfish, and see regular human lives as something they can sacrifice to gain power.
But unlike them, most of the middle and lower-level personnel of the organization have firmer beliefs and a spirit of selfless dedication.
Fire Moth is a gathering place for idealists.
Most members of Fire Moth are convinced from the bottom of their hearts that they are indeed walking on the righteous and noble path.
Therefore, when this self-proclaimed predator was annoyed by Shirou's sarcasm, he immediately lost any will to rebut.
However, this feeling of shame only lasted for a moment.
For fighters like them who have been standing on the front line all year round, adapting to changes is natural.
The man in the suit took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the immature boy who looked even younger than the little girl, and spoke in a calm voice
"You may be too young to do this alone. It is difficult to deal with the enemy this time so I have written down the specific location of the Honkai outbreak. The search and rescue of the survivors will be entrusted to my team members."
"..." Shirou pondered for a moment.
He didn't immediately agree but he didn't directly veto the man's proposal. Instead, he changed the subject and asked
"Have you ever encountered this kind of Honkai energy level?"
"It's not just that we haven't encountered it, it's just that in the history of mankind that we know of the largest Honkai explosion recorded was less than 1000 Honkai Waves. "
"..." Shirou frowned
"Even those plagues and natural disasters that caused tens of millions of deaths in history?"
"Yes." The man in the suit nodded
"Plagues and natural disasters are just one of the concurrent disasters that occur when Honkai breaks out. The intensity of the concurrent disasters is not directly determined by Honkai Energy."
"This is the first time I've heard this." Shirou clicked his tongue
"Those guys didn't make it clear in the materials that are open to the public..."
"..." The man in the suit didn't know how he should respond to Shirou's words.
He was dissatisfied but he could only smile wryly, and say dryly
"For the rest of the details, you might as well wait until this Honkai incident is over, and then go to the database of Fire Moth to see for yourself."
"Alright, although I don't like Fire Moth for trying to catch my daughter, I am very interested in the information stored in Fire Moth." Shirou snorted coldly.
"But you look much younger than that little girl." The man in the suit said subconsciously.
"So what?" Shirou said, "You guys are not even a match for a little girl like Elysia, age is such an insignificant thing, is it a very important thing in your eyes? ?"
The man in the suit who couldn't refute could not help but look away in embarrassment. He scratched his head and said with a little guilt
"Let's talk about the Honkai beast born in this incident."
"Isn't the enemy the same Honkai beast as before?" Shirou frowned slightly.
"It would be fine if it's just something as simple as the Honkai Beast..." The man in the suit suddenly became serious
"Although the Honkai incidents in the past two years have shown a rapid increase in frequency and energy level. A single outbreak of the Honkai disaster has never crossed the 1000 Honkai Wave limit."
"Therefore, Dr. Mobius, the doctor with the highest academic level among the newly established Fire Moth, made a Speculation."
"According to her calculations, if the energy level of the Honkai outbreak exceeds the threshold of 1000 Honkai Wave, then the monsters born from this Honkai event are no longer Honkai beasts, but a brand-new species that humans have never faced."
"...A brand-new species? Even Fire Moth finds it difficult to know what the enemy that broke out of this Honkai event is?" Shirou said.
"It can't be said that they are completely ignorant." The man in the suit shook his head
"Three years ago, Fire Moth discovered an unprecedented substance on the outskirts of a border town in the Far East. Fire Moth handed this unprecedented substance to the Institute of Physical Sciences for analysis and found that the elements that makeup that substance do not match any of the existing elements on the periodic table"
"...Is that substance produced by Honkai?" Shirou asked
"Yes."
The man in the suit nodded, although he is not an extremely knowledgeable scholar, he is a fighter with extremely rich experience in fighting against Honkai.
He obtained as much relevant knowledge and information as possible from the database of Fire Moth about things that might become his enemy in the future.
"After completely analyzing the structure of that substance, Fire Moth discovered that the structure of this substance is very similar to that of the Creations of Honkai, but it has completely different properties from previous Honkai Creations."
"After that, Dr. Mobius wrote a research report as an argument to explain her academic point of view and published it on the internal academic website of Fire Moth."
"According to Mobius' research report, the substance extracted by Fire Moth should have been born in a small-scale collapse event in which no one was killed about six years before the paper was published."
"Not long after Dr. Mobius published that paper, Fire Moth immediately conducted a comprehensive investigation of the area where the elements were found."
"They gained a lot of information from various countries as all the data collected in that area were monitored by spy satellites. Through those data, the Honkai event that was ignored by everyone seven years ago was deduced and confirmed."
"The conclusion drawn by Dr. Mobius is correct... Huh? Why did your complexion become so bad?"
After listening to the man in the suit's extremely fast explanation, Shirou moved away silently. He let out a sigh of relief
"Under such a bad situation, this complexion is normal, right?"
"..." There was nothing wrong with what he said.
The man in the suit nodded and ended that conversation immediately but he still had doubts in his heart
"Next, I'll go to the center of the Honkai outbreak. In any case, I must first find a way to solve this Honkai incident before the Honkai disaster spreads further."
"That's right, I also intend to do so."
This time, Shirou did not continue to struggle with letting the man in the suit follow him as he needed to know the specific location of the Honkai outbreak. So until Shirou finds the information he needs, he will follow this man.
"Let's talk while walking, what about your injured team member?" "
It's okay, just put him here first."
"We are all fighters with abilities granted by Honkai energy. Under the influence of Honkai energy, both the physical function and the healing factors are much stronger than ordinary people. Thanks to your timely action, he's just knocked out. Not to mention my body has almost completely recovered during this period of time."
After speaking, the man in the suit lightly tapped his team member's face.
Sure enough, after being tapped on the face by the man in the suit, the unconscious team member moved his eyelids slightly, then opened his eyes in an instant and broke free from the man's arm
Unsheathing the weapon at his waist, the set of movements he showed is smooth and meticulous. It is worthy of being an elite member of the first team.
"Team—Captain?!" The team member froze for a moment after seeing the man in the suit.
"I—I am?"
"Look around." The man in the suit said indifferently.
He quickly glanced at the scene around him as his pupils shrank slightly.
"It seems that you already know what to do." The man in the suit said
"This...young warrior and I will immediately go to the core area of the Honkai outbreak. You stay in this town and search for survivors together."
"Remember, our original mission is over. If we see the little girl we are not allowed to do anything to her. Our first goal now is to reduce casualties. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The team member nodded heavily as he then jumped off the fragment of the wall neatly and began to rescue civilians.
After assigning the task. the man in the suit turned his eyes back to Shirou and pondered for a moment:
"Do you...need to meet that little girl?"
"No." Shirou shook his head
"There is no need for more words between me and that child."
"...Even if this may be the last time?" The man in the suit stared at Shirou's face and asked in an extremely solemn tone.
"Hmph, the last time? You think I'm going to die in this kind of place, don't you?" Shirou snorted coldly
"Don't underestimate me, you should be more concerned about your own safety. If you get injured on the battlefield, I won't take care of you like I did previously."
The man in the suit chuckled, feeling a little helpless.
In Shenzhou, the airspace of the East China Sea, the air fleet developed by Fire Moth broke through the clouds and galloped in a straight line.
The moment the coastline appeared on the horizon, the driver's pupils shrank.
It is clear that there are still more than 2,000 kilometers of travel left, but the coastal cities of Shenzhou are still being ruthlessly attacked by tsunamis. Buildings are soaked in seawater, and the LED billboards are splashing. The electric sparks flickered, the flooded car floated on the water like a fragile cardboard box, and the spotlights emitted by the rescue helicopters were particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
Footsteps suddenly came from behind, and the driver turned his head subconsciously
"Captain?"
"With the full support of the rescue force, most of the residents of the coastal cities have been moved to a safe place." The red-haired woman said in a calm tone with a reddish complexion.
The driver opened his mouth, pondered for a moment, and said cautiously
"Of course, I know the Chinese side has organized an effective rescue, I just want to ask...Captain Himeko, are you drinking again?"
"..." The red-haired woman who reeked of alcohol didn't know what to say, she was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but rolled her eyes as she hit the driver's head
"Take care of the ship, and don't worry about messy things."
"Uh..." Although he wants to complain that the so-called "messy things" refers to the captain herself, he didn't do so after seeing the captain's dangerous look.
The driver decisively chose to keep his mouth shut to ensure that his captain would not become annoyed by his words.
Himeko's current mood is not all that good.
In addition to all members of the first team who were already at the scene of the disaster, to deal with the A-level Honkai event, Fire Moth ordered an emergency attack on the fifth team
Two hours ago, Himeko, who hadn't had a sip of wine for a long time, was getting ready to go to bed after drinking.
As a result, when her head had just touched the pillow, the emergency attack order sounded through the communicator which immediately scared away all the drowsiness caused by said alcohol.
It's okay to be unhappy, but the duties that should be performed still need to be fulfilled.
For a fighter like her who can control Honkai energy to a certain level, the impact of alcohol can be minimized.
So after simply cleaning herself, Himeko arrived at the side of the fleet as soon as possible.
She summoned all the members of the fifth team, and immediately headed for the direction of Shenzhou.
