Chapter 101 Variations

Mebius was unable to withstand the pressure. Early the next morning, a notice was posted on Fire Chaser's intranet, confirming that the Herrscher core would be transferred to a public laboratory, with Mebius as the project leader. People, study it in depth.

Although the project leader is still Mebius, the difference is self-evident.

Ellie is really anxious now, but she is anxious again. What really makes people feel helpless is that in this situation, Mebius is naturally the key monitoring target of Lezren and others, and even they are also, Then, it is almost impossible to contact Mebius through normal means - after all, there are only a few entrances and exits to the laboratory, and Mikael had made so many disguises, but he could not hide them from Sakura's eyes. Let alone now.

But should we just wait and see?

"Ellie, Sakura, please read this article!"

[New technologies and new dreams help Moth City and the rapid reconstruction of the homes of 100,000 people! 】

At the end of the article, there is a paragraph——

[Focusing on the reconstruction of New Moth City, senior leaders from the coalition government will visit New Moth City tomorrow (10th) morning. In order to demonstrate to superior leaders the significant phased results achieved by Fire Chaser Moth in its fight against Honkai Impact, the three Herrscher cores will be held on a small scale for internal exhibition in New Moth City tomorrow. 】

"The exhibition will be held in New Moth City tomorrow, which means that the core will be transferred tonight at the latest. This is our only chance..." Himiko concluded.

"But, could it be a trap?"

Sakura suddenly spoke out, dragging the atmosphere in the room into solemnity again.

After a while, Himihu shook his head and rejected this idea:

"If it's a trap, why was this trap set? For people who don't know the fact that Mikael is still alive, the Herrscher core only has scientific research value and unlimited potential... Well, maybe I It’s not very clear, but in short: if this is a trap, then the person who set the trap must want to get something—the person who steps on the trap.”

"And who would step into this trap? They are just people who want to snatch the core of Herrscher for research. But let alone the Fire Chasing Moth, there is no other person or organization who can understand Honkai to this extent. From the perspective of Fire Chasing Moth, I think it is completely unnecessary to go to such trouble to set up such a trap.”

"Besides, about the fact that Mikael is still alive... besides us, who else will know? Mebius? But she is very stubborn."

"So, the possibility that this thing is a trap... based on my own judgment, is almost zero."

What Ellie was waiting for was Himihu's words. She excitedly clenched her right fist into the palm of her left hand and punched it hard, "In other words, this matter has great potential!"

"Then the next question is what to do..."

Ellie and Sakura looked at Himiko at the same time. The latter smiled, and suddenly felt a strange feeling. After all, since having Mikael, most of the battle plans were made by him. As the captain, Himiko had already made up his mind. It’s been bad for a long time, but now it feels like it’s like rushing a duck to the shelves…

But she is Himihu, and no matter how heavy the burden is on her shoulders, it is nothing more than "nothing more than that."

"The task of inquiring about information is naturally my responsibility. After all, I have been in the Fire Moth for so many years, and I have some connections up and down. It is not difficult to get information on such a small matter."

"But the premise of the operation is that we must be able to leave the base smoothly... Ellie, I just want to ask you a question: after grabbing the core of the Herrscher, do you still plan to return to the Fire Chaser Moth?"

Ai Li bit her lip lightly, turned away, and shook her head, "I...I don't know either."

"So, Sakura, where are you?"

Sakura met Himiko's burning gaze, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly - she suddenly had a feeling: Had Himiko guessed that Mikael had been in contact with her recently?

Yes, she boasts that her relationship with Mikael is neither far nor close. At least on the surface, it seems that she is more distant than the relationship between Ymer and Mikael. In addition, she has a person who is loved by everyone. Zhi’s identity is a former member of Poison Chrysalis. Even if Himihu didn’t know this at first, now that Poison Chrysalis has appeared in everyone’s sight with great fanfare, she should also know it... So Mikael and Ellie shouldn’t be like this Just trust her...

"In other words, Captain Himiko is asking me on the surface, but actually testing Mikael's attitude?"

Sakura was in trouble for a moment, and all she got from Mikael was just a few words.

(The Riddler gets out of Firemoth!)

"No...no...I should be thinking: if it were Mikael, how would he answer the captain's question..."

So, she raised her head and asked the question she thought Mikael would ask: "What about the captain? Does the captain still want to stay in the Fire Chaser?"

This time it was Himihu's turn to be questioned.

This was a question she had never thought about - she certainly would not have thought about it in the past: under what circumstances would she consider leaving the Fire Chaser?

"Sakura...please prepare three sets of Poison Chrysalis uniforms and plan the course of action."

"team leader……"

Ellie and Sakura's expressions dimmed. From this arrangement alone, you can probably get a glimpse of Himiko's determination...

Otherwise, the simplest and most direct solution would be to just take a leave of absence, grab the core and run away.

"Okay, no need to say more, let's take action quickly! This may be the last mission we perform together..."

I don’t know what happened, until the second half of the sentence came out, Himiko realized that something was wrong.

For a soldier, such words are too unlucky...

…………

“So in the end, we didn’t do it on the transportation route...”

“Shh! Ellie, keep your voice down!”

The moonlight tonight is not bright, and the large dark clouds cover the moonlight, providing excellent cover for the actions of the three people.

There is one thing that the report said correctly - due to the use of the latest modular construction technology, the reconstruction speed of Xin Moth City is too fast. It has only been a few days since the collapse, and the collapsed buildings in the city center have been rebuilt. A few lights have also been lit in the city. The aroma of barbecue and the drunkards’ mumblings are mixed in the evening breeze and gradually spread throughout the city, which actually sets off the strange silence of this world.

This made Ai Li think of Luluye back then: humans are such fragile and strong creatures. They are so vulnerable to the collapse, but as long as they survive by chance, they will soon be full of vitality again, and live humbly and tenaciously in this world that is gradually heading towards doomsday.

Just like weeds that can't be burned...

Ailixia knows that weeds can't grow on scorched earth, so Mikael is necessary, and everything must be saved...

She shook her head and got her thoughts back on track.

Their destination is a building similar to a factory warehouse near the construction site in the suburbs of New Moth City.

In fact, from an absolutely rational point of view, the success rate of intercepting halfway is undoubtedly higher, but that means directly conflicting with the Fire Chasing Moth... Things haven't reached the point where they have to do it to the extreme.

Himiko jumped down from the second floor of the half-built building. "Everything is normal. The factory is well guarded on all sides, but there is no defense on the top of the warehouse. I will interfere with the surveillance first, make some noise to attract the attention of the guards, and cover the two of you to enter. Ai Li is responsible for the core, and Ying is responsible for the power supply... After Ying cuts off the power switch, you have at most 20 seconds until the backup power comes on. Ai Li, is it okay?"

"No!"

"Then start the action!"

"Wait! Who!"

Sakura shouted in a low voice, and drew her knife to slash at the shadow on the side.

"Dang!"

After a metal collision, a figure flew backwards.

The man groaned, and when he struggled to get up, Himiko, Ai Li, and Ying had formed a triangle to surround him.

But he did not mean to resist, but anxiously whispered: "Get out!"

Sakura's ears moved slightly, and countless footsteps came from the originally silent night, "When were you discovered!"

"Follow me!"

The man rushed into the darkness first.

The three had no choice but to follow.
