Ryan stood on the tattered wooden pier, looking at the dark clouds in the sky and checking the time on the information terminal.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the dawn was still blocked. There was something wrong with the storm. It lasted too long and it didn't seem like Shesha's fault.
"Since you want to kill me, even if you have the advantage of terrain, two Honkai beasts are not enough. What surprise have you prepared for me?"
At this time, a rusty ferry drove over. Ying stuck her head out from the bridge and said, "Let's go. The remaining fuel should be enough to support us to Lion City."
Ryan jumped onto the boat and asked hurriedly, "Is it done?"
"I just finished my work while repairing the engine. I have sent the information to the Fire Chaser Moth. With the movement of Shesha, they will be here soon." Ying held the rudder and threw the notebook to Ryan. "In addition, I found the fleet list in the database. Apart from those who are confirmed to have died, these are the missing. I selected those with high Honkai adaptability. There are very few of them."
The ferry started at a speed of less than ten knots. Ryan slid the computer and scanned the photos. The fleet that was involved in the fifth observation belonged to the Far East branch. This group of people was extremely unlucky and were wiped out before the communication was restored.
All members of the Fire Moths were tested for their Honkai adaptability when they joined the company, so that they could be assigned tasks accordingly. However, there were not many members with high adaptability in the navy, so he skipped those below level B.
This is?
Ryan paused as he was sliding the mouse, narrowed his eyes and stared at the lonely photo in the center of the screen, and saw a familiar face.
Her gray-blond side bangs cover her right eye, and she looks a little childish. The result of Fire Moth's adaptability to her Honkai energy is "S-level", and it is noted in the information that her body must be found.
Ryan stared at the slightly familiar face and took a deep breath.
"Lieutenant Rose."
Chapter 109: Herrscher of the Wind
Lieutenant Rose, the adjutant of Major Himiko, was also a semi-acquaintance of Ryan. They had known each other since they were in Qianyu Academy. He still remembered that they had just resolved a small Honkai that night.
According to the information, this special countermeasures team was drawn out from the Shenzhou battlefield and was specifically responsible for sweeping the Pacific islands. After all, these Honkai beasts threatened the safety of the transportation routes.
The mission was no problem, it was even like a disguised holiday. These elite soldiers only needed to determine the location of the Honkai beasts and summon long-range firepower strikes.
Then they were all destroyed.
Ryan sighed. It turned out that the collapse could not be judged by common sense. An unexpected event occurred during a pleasant mopping-up mission.
"Your friend?" Ying turned her head and saw the girl's photo. "The chance of her surviving is less than one in ten thousand. Please accept my condolences."
Uh, you're being a little too direct.
"He's not really a friend, just a soldier I know. We dealt with each other in Changkong City." Ryan was not sad. Too many people he knew had died, and he had long been used to it.
"Then what's the point of investigating her?" Ying was confused, she thought Ryan wanted to avenge his friend.
Just as she asked, she saw the man raised his head and gave her a strange smile, which made her feel cold.
"She's not really a friend, but she could become an enemy if the Honkai surprises her enough."
Did Lieutenant Rose defect to Honkai? Wait, humans, enemies, people who are highly adapted to Honkai...
"You're not talking anymore!"
How is this possible? If the other party really turned into a Herrscher, that was several days ago. It is impossible that the Fire Moths did not notice it in such a long time. Even if all the Fire Moths have fallen asleep recently, the Herrscher will not sleep so well, right? Wouldn't he destroy all the surrounding cities?
Sakura didn't believe it at all, it was beyond her common sense, but before she could open her mouth to refute it, she felt the ferry heaving.
The waves suddenly became turbulent, and coupled with the thick dark clouds, it seemed as if a storm was gathering.
The thunder and lightning had disappeared, leaving only the howling wind, causing the anemometer on the ferry's mast to spin rapidly.
"A typhoon is coming?"
Ying raised her head. After a while, she felt that the wind and waves had increased tenfold, and even the rudder in her hand became uncontrollable.
The ferry was lifted up and down by the wind and waves, and its bow plunged into the sea, going up and down like a roller coaster. Ying had no time to ask more questions. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to control the ferry.
The debris in the bridge was thrown everywhere, and Ryan seemed to be stuck to the ground with glue, his expression as uncertain as the wind and waves.
"I was tricked and made the mistake of empiricism."
Wow!
A wave shattered the window and rushed into the cabin. Ying became soaked immediately and couldn't help but raise the volume.
"What did you say??"
"I said, fortunately I am not too arrogant and always remember one thing."
"What's up!?"
Another wave came over, no, it was already a tsunami. The waves of more than ten meters high were like a wall, ready to completely swallow the boat. Ying had let go of the rudder and was ready to jump into the sea.
Fortunately, at this moment, a purple lightning struck down from the sky, just cutting the wave in the middle. She looked up and saw Ryan floating above the deck, and the overflowing electric current evaporated the sea water.
Within the range of residual power, the raging sea finally seemed calm, allowing Sakura to barely steer the boat.
boom--
Another flash of lightning illuminated Ryan's expressionless face. He tilted his head and said calmly, "Honkai Impact cannot be inferred by common sense. If necessary, He can overturn all experience."
Sakura was speechless, but secretly agreed with Ryan's guess.
Shesha set up a trap, and what was waiting for them was far from being as simple as the Honkai Beast. If she had chosen to chase him before, she didn't know what would have happened to Ryan, but she would have been dead.
Is it possible that a Herrscher is hiding behind Shesha, holding back his destructive instinct just to kill him? Is this man that important?
But this is the fact, even if Ryan himself hasn't digested it.
'How did He know that I would be here and seek another opportunity?'
Ryan was a little confused, but luckily he was a very cautious person. He had been on guard since he killed the third Herrscher, and he immediately responded when he found something was wrong.
Worries have become reality, every gust of wind is telling of murderous intent, and the reasons are no longer important.
Come if you want. Fortunately, I retreated in time and used this time to replenish my energy. Otherwise, if I had rushed in right after Shesha’s self-explosion, I would have had no chance of survival.
Ryan didn't know why he ran out to look for materials and encountered such a bad thing, but what does the old saying go?
There is a fine line between the prey and the hunter.
"Ying, you go full speed ahead, rush out directly, protect this box, and I will take any gifts from Honkai."
"Okay, be careful." Ying didn't hesitate at all. She immediately increased the speed and sailed through the waves in the gaps created by lightning.
Whether it was a Herrscher or a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, this level of battle was not something she could participate in right now. Staying away from it would be the biggest help.
There was no melodrama at all, and Ryan was able to think wholeheartedly. In fact, he was not surprised to be treated as a thorn in the eye and eliminated.
Even without destiny, Honkai can still tell who poses the greatest threat, just like Mei in the original world line, who was targeted by the Ruler of Domination. He was just surprised by her intelligence and endurance.
It seems that I bring a lot of excitement...
Ryan gently adjusted his glasses and looked at the huge waves that were rushing towards the north like an arrow.
Lightning passed along the sea surface, waves struck down from all directions like a cage, thousands of tons of sea water were extremely lethal, Ryan was like a small boat sailing through the storm, his eyes scanning all around.
Trying to slow down my escape.
Ryan was extremely calm and chose to bypass the huge wave. If he went straight through it, it would consume a huge amount of energy and he would be exhausted and the success rate would be lower.
"The Fire Moths are already at level one combat readiness, and the fleet is already gathering here." He glanced at the information terminal in his hand, and the Fire Moths throughout the western Pacific were like being stung by a bee, rushing out in anger.
The detection satellite has captured a huge source of collapse, and all kinds of contingency plans have been deployed. The center of the collapse source is none other than Ryan.
He moved quickly towards the north, and the energy he released with all his strength combined with the wind and waves, he had undoubtedly reached the level of a Herrscher, and he was moving almost in a straight line, so his movement trajectory was easy to calculate.
Shenzhou, Treasure Island.
"Come and attack me, but the Herrscher has already alerted the enemy and will not watch me leave."
Ryan's brain was working at overspeed, incorporating the Herrscher and the Fire Moth as variables into his plan.
We both have the same authority, but as long as I'm not too restrained, the gap in Honkai energy means that I can't beat the Herrscher. At the same time, I can't reveal my identity in front of the Fire Moth, otherwise many things will be unclear. I'm already at a disadvantage, so how can I break these shackles?
It's difficult, I can only test the limits of my wisdom.
He stopped suddenly, and in front of him, a tornado about a hundred meters thick rose from the sea and reached the sky.
Ryan's pupils shrank sharply as his way was blocked.
There was more than just one tornado, nine "giant pillars" rose up from the gray sea, roaring and destroying everything around them, and surrounding them from all directions.
Nine dragons absorb water?!
This thing is like a blender, it can even tear steel into pieces, Ryan glanced at it.
The large-scale AOE attack had no possibility of dodging at all, forcing him to choose the most violent method.
Rush over!
Transforming into thunder, Ryan rushed straight towards the tornado in front of him. He immediately felt the rapid friction between the high-speed airflow and the electromagnetic field, making a 'rustling' sound.
It couldn't break the defense, but the damage was great. The lightning penetrated the tornado in an instant, and Ryan's eyes began to twitch again.
The gray sea was covered with dense tornadoes. There were more than dozens of them at a glance, like moving walls blocking the way ahead. Apart from that, he could not see any trace of the enemy.
"The Honkai energy is too strong. I can't find her real body. She is a mage-type Herrscher."
With the whistling of the storm in his ears, he had made the most calm judgment. According to different fighting methods, Herrschers could of course be divided into different professions.
The Herrscher of Void is more like an assassin, using ghostly movements to quickly move in and out, while the Herrscher of Thunder is more like a warrior, unstoppable in the face of purple lightning, and the Herrscher of Reason and this one are like mages.
Hide far away and release large-scale attacks to crush everything.
"What to do?" Ryan changed directions continuously, and the lightning meandered along the sea surface. However, those tornadoes were boundless, almost occupying dozens of square kilometers of sea surface.
Those tornadoes seemed to be moving slowly, but they had no need to chase Ryan at all. They just kept compressing the evasive space, layer upon layer, squeezing towards the center.
Just like cutting meat with a blunt knife, if the Honkai energy is exhausted, Ryan will be turned into minced meat on the spot.
No, if I do that, my Honkai energy will be drained out before the Fire Moth arrives.
After moving thousands of meters in an instant, Ryan reacted immediately and saw that the sea was more than a hundred times more boiling than before. Looking into the distance, he saw violent winds and heavy rain.
She must be forced out!
Ryan paused briefly on the sea, pulled out Chi Xiao, and violent purple lightning flickered on the blade, concentrating all the Honkai energy in front.
Thunder at dawn.
Rumbling--
But then there was a loud thunder, and a flash of lightning passed straight across the sea, heading straight towards the northeast where there were the least tornadoes.
Wow, wow, wow...
