Chapter 7 Himeko's Attack

In the suburbs of Irkune, huge Honkai beasts and numerous dead soldiers wandered on the frozen land where no one had moved.

Buildings, roads, and even the pine trees standing upright on the roadside, these traces of human civilization were wantonly destroyed, and only a mess was left under the dim moonlight.

Himiko stuck close to the wall, moving her steps bit by bit. Only when the sound of artillery came from the distant mountains, she would suddenly jump up and take advantage of the moment when the enemy was attracted to rush through one or two streets.

But this time, although there were only two blocks left to the entrance of the underground base, and the sound of artillery had echoed back and forth more than ten times, she still did not move.

Because what was now at the intersection was a chariot-level Honkai beast with a height of more than ten meters. The so-called elephant is completely incomparable to it, because the deep pit stepped out by the thick front legs of this Honkai beast is as big as a living room!

Its body completely filled the street. Facing such a huge monster, even Himiko could hardly wipe away the fear in her heart.

"Gurgle!" She swallowed silently.

"Car, car..." The Honkai beast made a strange cry and turned a corner in the narrow street. It seemed to smell something and began to walk towards the corner where Himiko was hiding.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Himiko's shoulders trembled with the ground, and she looked back at the darkness behind her.

The bodies of the only two warriors from the fifth team who joined her were left there, and she had no choice.

She moved her frozen knuckles and grasped the cold sword. In the entire fifth team, she was the only one who used cold weapons for the first time. The reason is very simple - she is a rare individual among the fire-chasing moths with extremely high resistance to Honkai energy, so she can use Honkai energy to fight to a small extent, although the price is the purple lines gradually spreading on her arms...

"I may not lose to you!"

An incandescent lamp among the ruins flashed inexplicably for a moment, reflecting the hot sword light like a raging fire.

The seemingly heavy and edgeless sword easily cut off the huge front legs of the chariot-level Honkai beast.

The Honkai beast let out a wail and fell forward. Himiko twisted her waist without hesitation, letting the heavy sword rotate with her body, and finally chopped directly into the Honkai beast's drooping head.

The purple paste-like mucus splashed everywhere, and the Honkai beast lost its life in the first time.

Himiko herself did not expect that although she usually killed Honkai beasts easily, they were all two or three meters tall, and some were even not as tall as a person. This huge beast was the first time she encountered one.

Then by the same token...if ordinary warriors can also use Honkai to fight...

Unfortunately, her camera was damaged and she could not upload the sword to the database of the Fire Moth.

And she did not have time to think deeply. The strong smell of blood and the wailing of Honkai before death had exposed her position. She quickly climbed onto the corpse of Honkai, which was an excellent obstacle for the enemies chasing after her.

"Heh! I, a mortal, actually killed my way to the underground base alone." She laughed at herself and turned over the corpse.

Then her smile froze.

Beyond the snow dust blown up by the wind, she saw a silhouette slowly floating towards her.

The body of the Honkai that was larger than the chariot-class Honkai just now, the huge shield in front of it, and the towering spear...

"Chichichichichi..." The Honkai screamed and began to charge at her.

"Temple-level Honkai beast! How many ghost things are there in here!"

Himiko pursed her lips tightly, a drop of cold sweat slid down from her temples, and instantly condensed into frost. The advantage she had in the battle just now disappeared - the guy in front of her, but it takes a 270mm railgun to destroy it!

Just thinking about this, there was a whistling sound suddenly from the narrow street behind her, and the shells dragged a long white line in the night sky above her head, and in just a moment, the temple-level Honkai beast was blasted into slag.

"There really is a railgun! No... Who is operating the railgun!"

"Zizizizi... Zizizizizi..."

The long-lost sound of electricity came from the communication device pinned on her chest.

"Hey, hey, hey! Hi! Captain Himiko, are you okay? Mikael and I took a lot of effort to catch up with you! I didn't expect the city to be so chaotic, we almost lost you!"

"Hey! Alicia, stop talking, run!"

"Ah! Mikael, put me down!"

Himiko touched her forehead helplessly: "These two recruits... they really don't look serious at all... I thought Mikael was a little more stable..."

But thinking about it, the corners of her mouth curled up again, and a tear slid into the corner of her mouth along this arc.

At least, the fifth team is still there, and besides her, there are still people fighting alive.

But...

"Where did they find weapons like rail guns!"

That is a weapon that has not yet been officially equipped and should be used in conjunction with aerospace battleships in the plan.

"Perhaps, as a former military base of Country R, ​​Irkune City has retained some advanced weapons."

She didn't want to delve into this issue, and there was no need, so she just made up an excuse for herself and stopped thinking about it.

"Rumble..."

The entrance to the so-called underground base was actually hidden in a residential area. Mikael and Alicia simply cooperated to deal with the surrounding assassins. Himiko entered the code that the Fire Chaser Moth got from the United Government. The underground base's cement-covered, one-meter-thick alloy door made a loud noise and then slowly opened.

It was so slow that the three of them even thought there was a malfunction. After five minutes, Alicia had already eliminated three waves of assassins and Honkai beasts who came after hearing the sound. The door only opened a gap that could accommodate one person to enter sideways, and the gap no longer expanded, as if the parts inside were really stuck.

"Can't wait, go in first." Waving her hand to dispel the strong musty smell, Himiko suggested while turning on the communication equipment to contact the headquarters:

"Headquarters, this is Himiko from the fifth team. We have successfully reached the location of the Honkai energy storage tank."

"Okay, everything is going according to plan. What about Hen's situation?"

"Command, the reinforcements of the mecha and drone troops have set up multiple lines of defense in the depth of hundreds of kilometers in the future, and the plan can be launched at any time... But, Command..."

"Obey the order!"

"...Yes!"

Except for the initial report of the situation, Himiko did not speak again.

She suddenly looked at Mikael, who was squeezing into the door sideways, and moved her lips.

But in the end, no sound came out.

What should she say?

Should they run quickly?

This seems to make no sense. Even if they are given a whole day, they can't escape the radiation zone of Honkai energy.

Besides, Mikael has taken the lead in squeezing into the underground base.

"No enemy, no, no life form has been found in the base so far."

Himiko no longer hesitated, "Aili, you go in first, quickly."

Alicia wiped the sweat on her forehead, which had become cold, and squeezed in through the gap of the door with difficulty.

Himiko confirmed that there were no dead soldiers nearby for the time being, and tried to squeeze in sideways.

But she struggled for a while and it was difficult to move forward. She seemed to try to retreat in the middle, but unfortunately she couldn't do it.

So she stretched out her hand and looked at the two people in the base who were almost eating melon seeds with some anger.

"Come and help me, I'm stuck..."

Mikael pursed his lips tightly, his face was a little unnatural, but Alicia covered her chest and laughed.

She turned her head and winked at Mikael, but Mikael shook his head hurriedly. Alicia stuck out her tongue, walked forward, and stopped Himiko's waist through the gap of the door.

"Come on, Captain Himiko, take a deep breath... ah, no, take a deep breath, don't worry about your waistline!"

Under the guidance of Alicia, Himiko was finally "pulled" in.

Before she had time to catch her breath, she turned around and grabbed the handle on the door with both hands, shouting.

"Ah!"

The heavy door closed instantly under her huge force.

Mikael and Ellie looked at each other and shook their heads.

He said to Ellie in colloquial language: "It should be just a special physique, and a small amount of Honkai energy can be used to strengthen the body."

Who knew that after Himiko turned around, she said without hesitation: "Everyone has secrets, and now I am even with you."

Mikael was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was talking about the railgun.

He himself didn't take it seriously, because the person in front of him looked exactly like Aunt Jizi in the post-new era, and even the pronunciation of her name was...Besides, she seemed to be a very important character in Hua's memory, so he didn't have much defense against Himiko.

Anyway, the other party couldn't find the source of the railgun, and no one would be so imaginative as to think that he could pinch the railgun with his bare hands, right?

He didn't say anything, and Himiko felt a little embarrassed.

"Let's go and find the Honkai energy piggy bank. We still have a mission to complete."

Speaking of this, the atmosphere became even more silent for a while.

Himiko suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had let the two children run just now, what if they could really run out? Besides, even if they didn't run out of the radiation zone and were infected with Honkai disease, they could still live a few more days...

"Hmph..." She made a short nasal sound.

When she raised her head again, the iconic resolute smile returned to her face again.
