I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

(There's no need to be so nervous. Kevin's martial arts skills are slightly inferior to mine. If Skyfire is included, we're evenly matched.)

Xiao Shi said with disdain that it was not like she had never fought with Kevin before and she knew Kevin's strength well.

(And now he is being held in the quantum sea by Su and cannot get out, so it should not be him who did it.)

Listening to Xiao Shi's words, many guesses flashed through Xier's mind, but those were just guesses after all, without any evidence.

(So, the wolf head is the only clue now...)

Xier smiled bitterly, wondering where to find such a person in this vast sea of ​​people.

"Xi'er, let's go."

Just when Xier was confused, Fu Hua suddenly seemed to remember something and called Xier to walk out the door.

"Hey? Where is the master going?"

"To an old place."

Chapter 20

Following Fu Hua's footsteps out of the Li family compound, Xier followed behind Fu Hua silently. She wanted to ask Fu Hua where she was going, but found that Fu Hua's eyes were full of solemnity. Obviously, some of the discoveries just now made her very serious.

Soon, Fu Hua took Xier out of the city. As soon as they walked out of the city gate, Fu Hua suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Xier. Her lips opened but quickly closed again, obviously she had something to say to Xier.

"Master...do you have anything to say?"

Xier saw the worry for herself in Fu Hua's eyes, and it was obvious that what Fu Hua was going to say next might have an impact on her.

Hearing Xier's words, Fu Hua closed her eyes gently for a moment, and she was also experiencing some struggle in her heart.

What she was about to say was something that the people of this civilization had never understood. If Xier hadn't had that holy mark, Fu Hua wouldn't have been so conflicted.

But precisely because of See'er's special nature, Fu Hua had to take her into consideration when considering some things, because she was very likely Dr. Mei's backup. Everything that could be used to deal with Honkai would be used. This was common sense in the last era. Although Fu Hua had lived in this era for so long, she was also a warrior of the last era, and the habits she developed in the Fire Moth would not change easily.

Her heart was cold, and she would not consider anything else except fighting the Honkai. But when she saw Seele's clear eyes, she was unable to speak the words she had prepared.

Should she tell him? Should she tell Xi'er, who belongs to this era, about the legacy of the last era? If she knew the truth, would she feel disgusted with herself?

When she thought about Xi'er's possible dislike for her, Fu Hua suddenly felt a little panicked. Fu Hua's mind was full of complicated questions, which would never have happened to her before.

After a lot of internal struggles, Fu Hua finally decided to tell her everything. As for what the consequences would be, Fu Hua was already prepared.

While Fu Hua was struggling with her inner struggles, Xier was also quietly talking to Xiaoshi. However, unlike what Fu Hua thought, Xier and Xiaoshi were talking about Kevin.

Xier has a great interest in the ancestor of the Kaslana family, the leader of the World Serpents, and the fusion warrior of the previous era. Of course, she also has a great interest in the Thirteen Heroes of Fire Chasing. After all, this is something she has never known before.

"Kevin, that guy..."

When talking about Kevin, Xiaozhi, who is usually talkative, was unusually silent for a moment, and then said: "It is hard to say what kind of person Kevin is. He can be a hero or a devil."

"Oh?" Xier was a little surprised to hear Xiao Shi say this. After all, Xiao Shi always acted like she was the greatest in the world. She was so arrogant that she didn't care about anyone. But when talking about Kevin, Xiao Shi paused for a moment. It seemed that Kevin really had something special.

"Let me make it clear first. I won't be weak against him. Even if he adds the Skyfire, he can barely fight me on equal terms."

As if worried that his invincible status in Xier's heart would be affected, Xiao Shi first added a layer of buff to himself. It was hard to say whether it was a buff or a debuff.

"Yes, yes, Xiaozhi is the most powerful immortal in the world."

Xier said with a smile, she had a perfect grasp of Xiaoshi's character.

"It's hard to say about Kevin. I don't have much contact with him... or he doesn't have much contact with other people."

Xiao Shi tells the story of Kevin from Fu Hua’s perspective.

"I remember Cang Xuan complained to me that Kevin was just like an ice cube. No, he was an ice cube. The only one who could melt him was Mei. Unfortunately, Mei had already become a rational machine, and she considered everything rationally."

When Xiao Shi said this, there was obvious disgust on her face. In her opinion now, all the decisions made by Dr. Mei were extreme. Pure rationality was actually irrational. Everything was taken into account except feelings. Xiao Shi had suffered a lot in this regard.

"The old antique was like that at that time. He just followed orders and never thought. He left the thinking to Mei and just executed it." Xiao Shi also dissed Fu Hua.

"When Sakura died, Kevin stood on the burning ground and swore that no matter what the cost, humanity would defeat the Honkai. He just did these useless things."

Xiao Zhi waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Times have changed. We don't have to pretend to be other people anymore. But Kevin can't figure this out. He is still stuck in the old times. But the Kaslana family is all the same, as stubborn as donkeys."

"Really? So that's how it is..."

Through Xiao Shi, Xier has a new understanding of Kevin. Generally speaking, he is a warrior, calm, aloof, has his own unique worldview, and is incompatible with the current society.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Old Antique has come back to his senses. I'm going to dive first."

Seeing that Fu Hua had already made up her mind, Xiao Shi quickly said hello and returned to Xier's consciousness to catch up on the anime. She has been obsessed with special effects dramas recently, and the knights in them are so handsome.

Hearing Xiao Shi's reminder, Xier also hurriedly looked at Fu Hua.

"Xi'er, the place we are going to next may be a little difficult for you to accept. But I hope you can look at it in your own way."

Fu Hua took a deep breath and then said solemnly.

"Okay Master!"

Seeing Fu Hua say this, Xier also answered carefully.

"Ah."

Seeing Xier say this, Fu Hua nodded, but she was still a little worried about Xier's reaction when she knew all that.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

Fu Hua said as she pulled Xier to her side, gathered her strength, lifted the two of them up, and flew into the air.

"Wow!"

This was the first time Xier took off in this way, and the sense of novelty was instantly maximized.

"Hold me tight, I'm leaving."

Fu Hua reminded her, and Xier quickly hugged Fu Hua's waist.

Before she could feel Fu Hua's body, a strong wind pressure made her lean on Fu Hua's back.

(Wow... so soft!)

With her hands around Fu Hua's waist and her body pressed against her, Xier would not be blown away by the wind. After all, there was no protective equipment here.

However, the touch from her hands surprised Xier. She thought Fu Hua's body should have solid muscles, after all, she had been practicing martial arts for many years. But she didn't expect Fu Hua's waist to be so soft, just like a pampered young lady.

"Well……"

The touch from behind suddenly reminded Fu Hua of what happened in the morning, causing her expression to change. However, now was not the time to think about these things. Fu Hua calmed her mind, concentrated on controlling her strength, and flew towards her destination at high speed.

Chapter 21 Shelter

Fu Hua flew very fast and soon they reached their destination.

"Tsk..."

Xier clenched her palms with nostalgia, as if she was feeling the previous touch.

"By the way, Master, where is this place?"

Xier looked at the tall green trees and the ground covered with fallen leaves. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time. Everything around looked like a primeval forest.

But just like a drop of ink is very conspicuous on white paper, Xier soon noticed the abnormality in the forest.

It was a tree stump far away. The originally tall trunk was gone, leaving only a short stump. There were no signs of collapse around it, which was obviously caused by human beings.

"really……"

Fu Hua also noticed this, and she whispered to herself that all this seemed to be within her expectations.

"Button."

Fu Hua raised her hand and knocked on a seemingly inconspicuous rock a few times in a regular pattern. Then, in Xier's surprised eyes, the intact stone actually split apart, revealing a small section of steel stairs.

"Hey!!"

Xier didn't expect that there was a secret base hidden here, and judging from the surrounding situation, it has been hidden for who knows how long.

"Let's go, remember to follow me closely, otherwise you may not be able to get in."

Fu Hua once again reminded Xier who was a little distracted, and then walked in along the stairs.

Xier hurriedly followed Fu Hua and slowly walked in.

‘Click! ’

Just as Xier went down the stairs, the opening behind her suddenly closed, and then with a burst of mechanical operation sound, one light after another lit up, forming something like a guiding sign.

“There’s still electricity.”

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment. She was ready to use the Grand Void Grip to create a fire to illuminate the place, but she didn't expect that there was still electricity left. But perhaps because of this, her guess was getting closer to the truth.

"Master, where is this?"

Xier asked curiously. She probably guessed where this place was. It should be one of the shelters.

"This is a refuge from the last era. Just treat it as a relic from the ancient times."

Fu Hua was afraid that Xier wouldn't understand, so she told her in the easiest way to understand.

"This is the same as the stigma on your chest. It is a device to ensure survival. My comrades once set up shelters all over the world. After we failed to fight the final enemy, we barely entered the shelter and slept for a long time until humans appeared."

Fu Hua narrated the unknown history. She believed that Xier's stigma was not just a storage device. She could make Xier understand everything here.

As she spoke, Fu Hua awkwardly opened a combination lock. After all, she hadn't touched these things for thousands of years, so even an experienced person would feel a little unfamiliar with it.

"drop"

A probe extended from the wall and gave Fu Hua a quick scan.

"Ding, welcome, the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire come in."

A cold mechanical electronic sound was heard, and from time to time there was a sound of electric current in the sound. It was obvious that the audio equipment in this secluded place could not escape the erosion of time.

"Oh, what an old word."

When Fu Hua heard the mastermind's name, it evoked her nostalgia.

"Click."

As the mechanical bolt touched, the door that could withstand a nuclear explosion slowly opened, and this ancient building opened its doors to equally ancient people.

"Let's go, we need to go deeper."

Fu Hua's voice brought Xier, who was looking around, back to her senses, and she hurriedly followed Fu Hua's footsteps. She didn't want to be caught by the ancient trap in this ancient shelter.

Although it took Fu Hua an unusually long time, she fortunately did not forget the basic operations. In order to connect the various shelters, all the shelters were built in the same style.

Led by Fu Hua, the two passed through one unknown room and studio after another and came to a room full of screens.

Perhaps because of Fu Hua's arrival, the monitoring room restarted, and countless screens lit up, showing the scenes inside and outside the shelter.

"This is?"

Xier saw that there was nothing in the middle of a screen except a huge rock.

"Sure enough...it's blocked..."

Fu Hua also saw the same scene, just as she had thought before.

Not all people are warriors. In addition to those warriors with special missions, there are also many scientific researchers without combat capabilities remaining in the shelter. For these people, the shelter is the foundation of their survival.

Fu Hua had tried to contact other shelters when she first woke up, but only a few shelters responded. Most shelters were buried underground due to crustal movement or damaged for other reasons. Those who lost their shelters either died in the shelters or blended into the crowd.

Now, after so many years, even though the transformed personnel have almost endless lifespans, they cannot bear the loneliness for a long time and choose to sleep. Fu Hua can persist until now because she put most of her useless memories in Yu Duchen, which allowed her to survive the long years.

And this is only a small number of people, and more people died in their sleep, without even the chance to wake up, just like this shelter in front of us. The movement of the earth's crust tore the entire shelter apart, and by chance, the main part was still intact, except for the sleeping cabin, which was damaged.

After figuring out the general situation of the entire shelter, Fu Hua brought Xier to the rock.

"Knock down."

Tapped the rock gently, Fu Hua confirmed that there was space behind the rock, not solid land.

'drink! '

Fu Hua screamed inwardly, and her right fist hit the rock with unparalleled speed and force.

"boom!"

Under Xier's shocked eyes, the entire rock was penetrated. No, not only was it penetrated, the gust of wind created by Fu Hua's punch even blew the rock fragments to the outside. There was not even a piece of rubble in the space behind Fu Hua's fist. All the rubble was blown inwards.

"Ah this..."
