"The first one is no problem, but the second one is just a drop in the bucket." Hen's tone was heavy, but his eyes showed admiration: "You are indeed a hero. You knew there was danger, but you chose to face it head-on."
"I'm not that great, I just said something well." Ryan paused and swept his eyes across Hen and Hua's faces.
“Do as much as you can, take on as much responsibility as you can, and do your best.”
Hua's eyes lit up. She didn't understand anything about the previous conversation between the two, but this sentence touched her heart.
"You are neither arrogant nor cowardly. You are truly admirable." Hen clapped his hands gently, his expression solemn: "I have done both of these things for you. There will be results within two days. Do you have any other requests?"
Ryan moved the boxes into the car and was about to let Hua get in, but his expression froze for a moment and he looked up towards the coast.
"Please do her a small favor and send her to Huangpu Road to pick up someone, and then take them away from Canghai."
"Senior Brother, you..." Hua opened his mouth wide, not reacting for a moment.
Ryan raised his hand to interrupt Hua, opened the car door, and his expression became solemn.
"The storm is here, only waiting for the thunder."
Chapter 51 The Storm is Coming! Two in One
woo-
The commercial vehicle was speeding along the road, its wheels stirring up water waves as it sped along the road at a speed of over a hundred yards.
Ryan decisively changed his plan and once again experienced the uncontrollability of the collapse.
Just now, he felt the coming of collapse. Although he had no instruments to measure it accurately, he knew that it was in the east, where he had repelled Moshachi a few days ago.
The prelude is coming. This emperor-level Honkai beast was seriously injured and should not come out so soon, but they are not human after all and have no instinct for survival.
When the "call" from the superior comes, they will respond without hesitation, without any reason.
"The city has been hit by a severe storm. Experts recommend that all citizens leave the city for shelter. If conditions permit, please stay at home, lock the door, and do not go out at will."
An evacuation warning came from the radio, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight rustling sound.
The energy of Honkai is gradually increasing, and the scope of its impact is so large. There is no mistake that the Third Herrscher is descending into the sea.
Ryan frowned and thought quickly as he ran towards the beach.
Mahasthamaprapta is already at the pinnacle of the emperor class. Now he is acting abnormally. Can we assume that:
The Herrscher is about to arrive. Will it respond to the call and cross that limit to become a companion Judgment-level Honkai beast?
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Moshachina's strange behavior. The Honkai Beast did not know how to cherish its life, and would not be afraid of the Fire Moth.
Therefore, the wind and rain have arrived, and we just have to wait for the lightning and thunder.
Rushing across the long street, vehicles gradually appeared on the road. Some people who had also sensed something was wrong were following the advice and leaving. The originally empty street suddenly became lively.
However, in this busy traffic, there was only a speeding commercial vehicle passing in the opposite direction, attracting many people to look.
"What is that car doing? Didn't they say they were going to evacuate? Why is it heading to the beach?"
"Maybe they are reporters from a TV station. This typhoon is unusual, so it must be a hot spot. By the way, why hasn't Dr. Damian left yet?"
"He said that the research had reached a critical point and he insisted on staying in school to conduct experiments."
"Then forget about him, let's just go on a trip for a few days."
Ryan passed by and saw the pass to Canghai University hanging on the windshield of the van. In an instant, he thought of the colleague he had just met.
He was so unlucky.
I was suppressed by Mei in Senba Academy, and encountered Honkai when I changed the environment. Why do I always encounter unlucky people recently?
After being absent-minded for a moment, Ryan quickly regained his focus. He was not a nosy person, and what happened to his former colleagues was none of his business.
"Are you too lazy to even act?"
He saw the barbed wire fence in front of him with a "No Trespassing" sign waving on it, but there were only a few police cars parked nearby.
If the previous judgment was wrong, then now that Honkai energy has been increased across the board, could it be that the Fire Moth's detection equipment is broken?
Just leave some scapegoats here to guard, who are you trying to fool?
Ryan simply stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, scaring the police officer who was blocking the road to roll to the side, then he knocked the barbed wire away with a bang and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Is it done?"
"I have already contacted your junior sister's friend, and she is heading out of the city. I have also sent a message to Miss Alicia. The situation in the city is not good right now."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Death squads and lower-level Honkai beasts have begun to appear in the city. Fortunately, there are not many of them, and the troops stationed in the city can still handle them."
Is the storm getting stronger?
Ryan tapped the steering wheel lightly. He had read the information about the Fire Moth. Before the Herrscher appeared, the concentration of Honkai energy in a certain area would gradually increase, and Dead Soldiers and Honkai Beasts would appear randomly.
The Herrscher is not a nuclear bomb that can flatten a large area in an instant. He is more like a radiation source that changes the environment of a region.
People who are not adaptable to Honkai energy will die soon, and some will become dead soldiers, and then kill together with the Honkai beasts, destroying everything like locusts. After all, the Herrscher has no intention of killing ordinary people.
'So the best way for ordinary people to survive is to run away from this area. If you can't run away, just stay at home and leave it to fate.'
Ryan remembered that Canghai City should have been completely destroyed, but now no matter how bad the situation was, 10% of the people could survive. He suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
Changing your destiny and taking a completely different new path, if you multiply this number by one hundred thousand or one million times, it may be a big step towards the unknown.
Turning the impossible into the possible and changing the trajectory of fate is more interesting than exploring the essence of collapse.
Ryan grinned with a satisfied smile, turned the steering wheel sharply, and glanced at the afterimage coming from the side.
"Take them out. I will explore this unimagined path."
boom--
The heavy sword that fell from the sky split the commercial vehicle into two, and the front half of the vehicle rolled directly into the field, splashing mud all over the ground.
The phone turned busy. Hen looked up and glanced at the frightened Carol, then fixed his gaze on Hua who looked calm: "Did you hear that?"
"Well, I understand Brother's determination. He wants to be a hero and protect the people of Canghai!"
Hen didn't know how to answer, so he just shook his head subconsciously: "Well, I think there are some differences. Although it's a bit similar, it's not just about protecting everyone. How should I put it? It's more like I enjoy it because I've blazed a trail."
"Indeed, it gives me the same feeling as when I developed a new move." Hua patted his friend's shoulder and looked at the messy street.
Many vehicles crashed into each other, blocking the road. Some monsters rushed out of the alleys and slaughtered the crowd.
Chaos, killing, destruction.
These horrifying scenes were reflected in her emerald green eyes, intertwined with the memories of shopping with Ryan two days ago.
The noodle shop on Huaizhong Road, the vendors on the snack street, and Ms. Wen’s milk tea shop at the university, all these beautiful things were smashed to pieces in an instant, and the powerlessness and anger accumulated in my heart seemed about to explode.
After a moment, Hua took a deep breath, put on the alloy boxing gloves given by Ryan, and took a brave step forward.
"Mr. Hen, I want to join the battle, too. I also want to--"
She swung her fist hard, knocking the assassin who was rushing towards Carol away, causing his sternum to cave in.
“Follow your own beliefs.”
......
A giant six-engine transport plane was hovering in the sky, and one could see that the sky in the distance was covered by a large group of thunderstorm clouds. The cloud layer was extremely exaggerated, covering the entire Canghai City.
Purple arcs flashed in the clouds, even interfering with electronic systems. It was hard to imagine what the scene was like beneath the clouds.
The blond man shook the wine glass, the crystal clear wall of the glass reflected the lightning, and behind him was the busy bridge.
The Fire Moth's aerial command ship 'Raven' rushed here as soon as it discovered the abnormality in Canghai City.
In front of him was a holographic communication, but without a human figure, it had a pattern with 'SOUND-ONLY' written on it.
"The plan has already been launched. No one can stop it now. However, Shenzhou is putting pressure on us. It seems that they were alarmed by the previous evacuation news."
"I know that those people want to be the savior, but they don't know that if they don't give up a little now, they will have to give up everything in the future." Calis sighed and replied calmly: "Just reply according to the process. The Fire Moths need time to evaluate and even more time to gather the troops, but you can intervene first."
The voices fell silent for a second. From their point of view, it was impossible to use evacuation as an excuse, otherwise they would inevitably be blamed later.
"Okay, but no one would use such an excuse..."
"This is not an excuse. Humans know nothing about Honkai. Who can be sure that the Herrscher will appear in the sea?"
No one can refute this because no one can take this responsibility.
"I understand. Lead the fleet to approach the coast immediately. In addition, Mr. Chief of Staff, I have one more thing to report." Erwin paused, then said, "Alicia has escaped surveillance. I am still investigating how she did it."
"No need to check. She must be coming here. Those people discovered the problem and of course they would think of their savior." Calis was not surprised and did not care.
"But it's too late now. The Herrscher is about to be born. Even if the aftermath of the battle is severe, it will cause heavy casualties. However, it's better to defeat the Herrscher as soon as possible. On the premise of completing the goal, it would be best if as few people as possible died."
The thunderclouds have arrived. Judging from their size, even the most powerful beings cannot conceal them. They have already set a bottom line.
Half a city, eight million people, this wound should be enough. In the end, the Herrscher must be defeated anyway.
Ding--
With a slight sound, Calis took out the terminal and saw on the screen a temple species being shattered into pieces, with half of its body blasted into the ground.
Next to the corpse, a black-haired man stood like a mountain. In a trance, he seemed to be stared at by the other party and subconsciously clenched his wine glass.
Only when the man walked towards the fishing village did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"It finally begins."
After the car exploded, parts were scattered everywhere. The fields in the rainstorm had turned into mud. A more than five-meter-tall Temple-level Honkai Beast was blasted into the ground, and the upper part of its body flew dozens of meters away.
The heavy rain soaked his clothes and made his hair stick to his forehead. Ryan retracted his right fist and shook his slightly numb elbow.
Just now, he used his elbow as a hammer to slam the beast into the mud, and before the beast could crawl out, he tore it in half with a shove of his foot.
However, in half a year, the Temple-level Honkai Beast was no longer as powerful as he was. Fortunately, the Fire Moth didn't know about this growth potential, otherwise it would have regarded him as a monster long ago.
Being powerful is understandable, but being powerful without limits is terrifying.
Ryan moved his shoulders, pulled the box out of the wreckage of the car, then tied it to his back with a nylon strap, stepped onto the road, scraped the mud off the soles of his shoes, and raised his head to look at the fishing village not far away.
When I came back a few days later, the fishing village was still the same except that it was more dilapidated by the typhoon.
"But the stench of destruction has overwhelmed the smell of dead fish."
Ryan could tell without any instruments that the place had become a den of wolves and tigers, and the biggest guy was getting closer, just like the subjects who had arrived earlier, going forward to welcome the arrival of the king.
