Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 274

"From now on, this city will begin to connect with the twenty-sixth city..." The broadcast inside the mobile fortress was repeating this sentence.

In the driver's living area, everyone stood in front of the glass, watching the two mobile fortresses connect.

Each of the two mobile fortresses extends a passage, which is then connected and locked together.

Watching the connection process intently, he squinted and asked, "What exactly is this connection?"

Future glanced at Wei Mu and said casually, "You, you've been watching for so long and you still don't know?"

Caught off guard by the future's cruel revelation, Wanmu felt embarrassed, her face flushing slightly. "Shut up, you idiot. Did you find out again?"

Hearing Wei Mu's question, Wei Lai was taken aback for a moment. Turning away, she forced an explanation: "Won't a bull market glue the two large ecological fortresses together?"

He smiled and said, "That's not all."

Yu Nai also explained, "The large ecological fortresses will exchange magma energy along that pipeline."

Man added, "Without fuel, neither the adults nor we can survive, nor can we power the FRANXX."

Upon hearing this, she seemed relieved and said, "Then we have nothing to worry about."

Goro said, "It's not that simple. I've heard that a fuel exchange of this scale will attract a large number of Klaxosaurs."

"Really?!" Yimu was startled.

"A lot... ah." Tai also felt a little incredulous.

Zero smiled and said, "It's alright." Everyone looked at Zero with suspicion. Zero continued, "As long as we unite, even the Strelitzia can help now."

"Zero..." Goro looked at Zero, unsure of what to say.

Hearing Zero's words, Ichigo seemed somewhat dejected, and her tone was a little low: "Yeah, Zero is right."

……

Before the fuel transfer, both eco-fortresses held a celebratory ceremony. On this grand occasion, the operators of both eco-fortresses gathered together. The entire event resembled a fashion show, with the leaders of the two eco-fortresses shaking hands and wishing each other a successful collaboration. The operators of the two eco-fortresses stood facing each other.

However, compared to Zero and the others, the manipulators of the 26th city appeared much more composed.

Finally, it was time for the "adults" to speak.

"Gentlemen, the terrifying Klaxosaurs are launching a massive attack on the magma fuel! The fate of both cities rests in your hands, pilots! You are powerful, and I believe you will bring victory!"

Amidst such a grand welcome, the controllers of the sixteen cities were in high spirits, but they did not forget the upcoming Klaxosaur attack because of their high spirits.

Zero looked up at the colorful ribbons slowly drifting down from the sky, a slight smile playing on her lips. Jing Chen appeared beside Zero, placing a hand on her shoulder and saying, "This is the third time, enjoy it."

Zero nodded. "Mm."

……

Not long after dawn, Goro got up early, took out clean clothes from the wardrobe, changed into them, and called Zero to get up.

"Hey, Zero, get up." Goro walked to Zero's bedside, bent down and looked at Zero who hadn't responded, saying, "The sun's about to shine on your butt."

Goro was startled the moment his hand touched Zero's face.

At this moment, Zero finally woke up.

……

The two stood in front of the washbasin. Zero was washing her face. Goro asked, "Are you... alright? Your body is very hot."

Zero turned off the tap and said, "It's perfectly fine, don't worry. I don't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, I feel incredibly light."

Goro, brushing his teeth, turned to Zero and asked, "You're not just putting on a brave face, are you?"

"How could that be?" Rei dried her face with a towel and looked at Goro, saying, "I'd rather start training right now."

Seeing Zero's expression, Goro didn't say anything more, "I see."

"Yesterday's ceremony was amazing! I was so excited I couldn't sleep for a long time," I thought to myself.

Everyone gathered in the living room, discussing yesterday's events with great interest.

"Captain Xun'er from the opposing unit seems like a very nice person," Future said.

"Would you like to partner with someone like that in the future?" Shin asked jokingly.

Mirai was quite outspoken: "Compared to the guys here, they don't even need to think about it." Then, Mirai turned to Ikuno and asked, "Don't you think so?"

Yu Nai didn't seem interested in this matter. "It's fine, I'm not interested."

"A cold woman," Future said.

"Being given high expectations by adults really makes me feel excited!" he said excitedly.

"Yes, we are needed." Tai seemed quite excited as well.

Overjoyed, Wanmu stood up and mimicked the gesture of the "adult" who had spoken yesterday, saying, "Gentlemen, you are very powerful! I believe you will surely bring victory!"

Everyone laughed, and he arrogantly declared, "And the one who will bring victory is definitely me!"

Ichigo retorted, "If I had to say, it would be zero."

Zero paused for a moment when Ichigo mentioned him. All eyes turned to Zero. After a brief silence, Shin clasped her hands together and smiled, saying, "Indeed. The previous battle was quite spectacular."

Out of concern, she asked, "But how are you feeling physically?"

"My body... well, there's nothing wrong with it," Zero said.

"That's great." Tai was also very happy to hear Zero say that.

Man, who was standing by the window, heard Ling say that there was nothing wrong with her body and disdainfully looked away.

Future said, "So it seems the rumor that my partner will die the third time is also a lie."

Yu Nai said, "Maybe it's because we're so compatible?"

"Thank you, but it was because of everyone that we were able to succeed. Although I worked really hard back then, I still have the feel for it. If I can continue to pilot FRANXX in the future, please let me fight alongside you as a member of the team!" Zero said.

"Hey, don't get too cocky. You only succeeded once," he said smugly.

"Hey, there's no need to keep pouring cold water on things," Goro said.

"Look!" Zero suddenly called out.

"What?" Wanmu asked arrogantly.

Zero stood up, looked at Hitotsu, and said, "I will try my best not to hold everyone back." He walked up to Hitotsu, extended a hand, and said, "Please take care of me from now on."

Hearing Zero say that, Kaimu was at a loss for words. He gave a blank reply, then arrogantly said, "Haha, I just can't do anything with you." As he spoke, he grasped Zero's hand, "Do a good job next time."

"You're the shameless one, aren't you?" Mirai said disdainfully.

……

The atmosphere in the living room immediately became much more cheerful. Two figures stood on the glass cover of the driver's living area.

One was a mysterious figure, and the other was Jing Chen. The mysterious figure looked in one direction and slowly said, "It seems this battle will be very interesting; the enemy has a lot of numbers."

Jing Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, it will be very interesting. We'll just have to watch how Strelitzia performs."

"Are you really that confident in that Zero? You know his physical condition better than I do, don't you?" The mysterious man looked at Jing Chen with surprise.

Jing Chen smiled mysteriously, "I believe him, and right now, his physical condition doesn't prove anything. Before becoming a phoenix, one must experience death and be reborn from the ashes."
