"She seemed to say that she went to look for you. She was worried that you didn't leave the airport and were also trapped there by monsters, so she rushed to save you. I don't know where she is now, I only know that she ran in the direction of the airport." Theresa said.

Chapter 312: Saving Carol

"How could this happen? We didn't see Carol on the way here." Hua didn't expect that the answer she got would be like this. She didn't know how to describe her mood for a moment. She was very happy to hear that Carol was still alive, but after learning where she was, she became anxious again.

"Hmm!" Suddenly, Hua felt a thick touch on his head, and found that it was Wang Chen who was pressing his head and soothing him. With Wang Chen's soothing, Hua's impatient heart calmed down a lot.

"Theresa, come with us. This city is in danger. We may not be able to get rescue if we stay here. Besides, the door has been destroyed by me. It's not safe here anymore." Wang Chen looked at Theresa and said.

"Isn't this all because of you? Oh... Never mind. I hope what you said is true, my future 'husband'." Theresa bit her tongue heavily, then took her gun and backpack, and then kept stuffing snacks and water piled in the room into the backpack, and then set off with them.

"Future husband?" Hua looked puzzled, not understanding what Theresa was talking about, while Lin, who was standing beside her, had already begun to ask with the power of the synchronous link: "This principal is Principal Theresa, right?"

"Well, there is a temporary problem with her memory. Fortunately, Theresa is not like Fu Hua. Her memory has begun to awaken. I'm afraid she will know the current situation soon. Our focus next will be on looking for Carol. Femilis, can you detect any life forms nearby?" Wang Chen said.

"If it's a conscious being like Hua or Theresa, then there's no problem. But Carol herself is an illusory product. Has the captain forgotten that everything is still in a place that Hua can't observe?" Femilis said.

"That is to say, since Hua has never found Carol in history, so... Hua will never be able to find Carol in this illusion?" Wang Chen asked.

"That's not necessarily true. After all, the captain is not the only one interfering with this dream in this illusion. I believe that the Herrscher will also come up with some way. Anyway, Captain, let's go back and look for it again." Femilis said.

……

Finally, Wang Chen took Theresa, Hua, and Lin to the car parked at the school gate, and then slowly drove towards the airport, circling around various places to ensure that they would not miss any place where Carol might pass. While Wang Chen and others were working hard to find Carol's whereabouts and taking care of some blind Honkai beasts on the road, a team quietly targeted them.

"Report to Captain Himeko, we have just found survivors in this city. Judging from their direction, they are heading towards Canghai City Airport." A team member holding a sniper rifle stared at Wang Chen and others, and then reported to the communication device.

"Wow? Then they are lucky. Our troops just happened to use the Canghai City Airport to land. But there will probably be many Honkai beasts along the way. We need to contact them and escort all these survivors safely to the ship." A mature female voice came from the communicator.

"But captain, the other side may not be so easy to deal with. The only male among them has looked in my direction several times. I am sure that he has discovered me. And that man even defeated the Honkai beast alone. I am afraid that there is something wrong with that person's origin." The team member said nervously.

"Hmm? Are you sure it's a man? What does he look like? What method did he use to defeat the Honkai beast?" said the mature woman with a little excitement.

"He's probably..." The team members roughly described Wang Chen's characteristics and how he could defeat Honkai beasts by using lightning or spitting fire. After hearing these descriptions, the mature woman's voice obviously increased by several decibels, and she shouted, "Quick! Make contact with him! He is the primary target of all our Fire Moth troops this time! That adult has been looking for him... Tsk, send me your location, and I'll come over myself."

"Yes..." The team members immediately sent their coordinates to their captain.

……

"The feeling of being watched just now, was it a sniper? It seems to be the Fire Moth's troops. But Hua Mingming can't observe the other party either. Isn't his position in a chaotic state? It seems that we have entered the core plot of the illusion." Wang Chen said to himself.

"The Fire Moth's troops have arrived. According to the original plot, Hua is about to be taken away. If I am Erosion and want to cause trouble, this is my last chance. Captain... do you see that alley? If nothing unexpected happens, Hua and Carol should be there." Femilis said, pointing to the front.

"That... Brother Wang Chen." At this time, Lin's voice suddenly came in.

"What's wrong, Lin?" Wang Chen asked.

"That alley... gives people a very bad feeling. It seems that there is something that makes Lin feel disgusted staying there." Lin pointed to an alley in front and said.

What surprised Wang Chen was that the alley Lin pointed out was the same alley that Femilis speculated Carol was in. What was going on? Why did Lin have this premonition? Wang Chen couldn't help but stop the car and think.

"Come to think of it, when Lin entered this illusion, she was in a daze. Although I checked Lin's body from beginning to end, I didn't find any traces of erosion. Could it be that Lin has some secrets that I don't know about?"

"Why did you stop?" Theresa and Hua asked at the same time.

"That alley has a very bad feeling." Wang Chen said.

"Bang, bang!" Two gunshots were heard from the alley. Wang Chen's face changed, and the next moment he opened the car door and ran into the alley. Seeing this, Lin opened the car door and followed closely. Theresa and Hua looked at each other, and Theresa murmured, "Could it be Carol? She is the only one I know who has a gun."

"!" After hearing what Theresa said, Hua got out of the car immediately and ran towards the alley.

"Hey! You guys have been waiting for me!" Theresa immediately jumped out of the car and rushed into the alley.

……

"Go... to hell!" Carol fired at the monster holding a huge sword and riding a horse. However, ordinary bullets could not cause any obvious effect on the Knight-level Honkai Beast. The Knight-level Honkai Beast charged at Carol, and the huge sword was about to pierce Carol's body.

"No...no, I haven't found Hua...Dad, Mom." Feeling that her life was about to end, Carol closed her eyes in despair.

"Moment of transcendence!" The entire space and time was completely frozen. The giant sword had touched Carol's abdomen and was about to pierce through her, but it stopped at this moment.

"Damn, they really know how to waste time. If I hadn't used the power of transcendence immediately and decisively, would I have had to watch Carol get stabbed?" Wang Chen thought to himself, and then rushed to Carol's side. To be cautious and prevent the Herrscher from putting a shield on the Knight-level Honkai Beast to consume his own power of transcendence, Wang Chen did not choose to attack the Knight-level Honkai Beast, but grabbed the greatsword with his bare hands and thrust it forward with force.

Time and space were restored as a result, but Wang Chen successfully blocked the greatsword of the Knight-level Honkai Beast and did not hurt Carol. Even when she saw the body of the Knight-level Honkai Beast crashing towards her, Wang Chen followed up with another punch to end the Honkai Beast.

"Swish—" The sound of the shield breaking rang out, and Wang Chen cursed inwardly: "Damn, there really is a shield? Fortunately, I was cautious."

Then Wang Chen punched again and successfully shattered the Knight-level Honkai Beast. Wang Chen shook his head, turned to look at Carol, and said, "You are not hurt, are you, Carol?"

"You...you are the handsome Wang Chen from that day. Oh my God, you saved me again. Woo...I can't take it anymore. My feet are numb from fear." Carol, who survived the disaster, sat down on the ground with trembling legs, gasping for breath.

Chapter 313: Himihu

"Carol! Is that you?" Hua's voice came from the alley entrance. Hua rushed to the scene, her heart beating fast. Since Carol fired the gun, she must have encountered an irresistible danger. Even if Wang Chen had rushed in, could he save Carol in time like last time?

"Hua?! Hua, is that you?" When Hua turned the alley, he saw Carol sitting on the ground, gasping for breath, and Wang Chen who was checking Carol's physical condition.

"Carol, that's great... You're okay." The moment he saw that Carol was okay, a huge rock that had been weighing on Hua's heart fell away. Wang Chen could even see a trace of stubborn black air leaving Hua's body. It was the breath of corrosion. It seemed that this time in the illusion, he had successfully prevented the Corrosion Herrscher from corroding Fu Hua.

"Hua, huh... It's great to see you in this terrible doomsday." Carol also forced a smile, then looked at Hua, then looked at Wang Chen who had checked his condition and stood up silently, and said with a smile: "It seems that Hua was able to get here safely from the airport. It turned out that you just happened to run into Brother Wang Chen who came to see you off, right... Hehe, those monsters are no match for Brother Wang Chen. You didn't see it just now, but with just one punch, Brother Wang Chen smashed such a big monster to pieces. He is simply a superman."

"Brother Wang Chen, Sister Hua... huh, and Sister Carol, it's great that you are all okay." Lin also came to the scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is... everything over?" The last person to arrive was Theresa. She held a gun in her hand and watched every move in the alley vigilantly. Theresa's memory had begun to loosen, and her experience in fighting the Honkai was gradually awakening, allowing her to keenly detect the situation nearby at the first opportunity.

"Well, it's all over. Put down your gun, Theresa, don't scare the children." Wang Chen naturally saw Theresa's awakened fighting instinct. In this way, he had found Lin, Theresa and... Fu Hua among his companions. He didn't know whether Fu Hua in front of him could fully recover to the current Fu Hua.

"Principal? Why are you out too? Oh, by the way, Hua, let's go back to school together. The principal's office is very sturdy and can block these monsters outside." Carol was also surprised when she saw Theresa appear. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she hurriedly said.

"No need, Carol... my office door... has been destroyed. Even if it hadn't been destroyed, we have encountered many terrible monsters on the way here. Some of them are as big as tall buildings and cannot be stopped by a door at all. If it weren't for Mr. Wang Chen, it would have been difficult for us to get here so quickly. There is no place in this city that can be said to be safe. We must escape from this city." Theresa explained.

"Well... let's go quickly... but where can we escape to? It's the end of the world. Will other cities be like Canghai City?" Carol said worriedly.

"Other cities..." Suddenly, Hua thought of his hometown, and was shocked. His father would not...

"No need to go... our people are here to pick us up." Wang Chen suddenly said at this time. At the same time, Theresa immediately took out her gun, pointed it at the corner of the alley ahead, and shouted: "Who are you! Come out!"

"Wow, you're quite fierce, little guy. Put down the gun in your hand and disarm yourself. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that my team member who has already aimed will not open fire in response to the stress." At this time, the voice of a mature woman came slowly, and a red-haired woman wearing tactical weapons slowly walked out of the alley.

Theresa also frowned slightly. She felt that she was being targeted, which made her look a little ugly. She could only prepare to slowly put down the pistol. But what Theresa didn't know was that the sniper who was aiming at her felt a terrifying pressure on him the next moment, which made him breathless and he didn't dare to pull the trigger at all. He felt like he was on the verge of death, as if he would die if he moved his finger a little.

At this time, Wang Chen had already passed Theresa's position and blocked Theresa behind him. He crossed his arms and said, "Then, let your team members try to shoot."

This was actually Wang Chen's test. Although he knew that Hua would be taken away by the Fire-Chasing Moth, he didn't know whether this was also manipulated by the Corrupted Herrscher. Since he had already interfered with the illusion, and it was not clear how the illusion would end, he might as well take the initiative into his own hands. Now, Wang Chen wanted to see what this former civilization "Ji Zi" would choose to do when he deliberately intensified the conflict.

But what happened next was beyond Wang Chen's expectations. The moment Wang Chen saw the "Jizi" of the previous civilization, Himeko, who was familiar to Wang Chen, immediately looked solemn, stood up straight, and saluted Wang Chen.

"Master Joker, I am Himiko, the captain of the fifth squad of the Fire Moths. Everyone present here is one of my team members."

"Me? Sir? And Joker? Isn't this just a random name given by my Phantom Thieves?" Wang Chen was stunned. He didn't understand the situation at all. Why did Himiko from the previous civilization act like she knew him?

"Wait, that's not right. Even if Himiko knows me, isn't this the environment created by Fu Hua's memory? Could it be that Fu Hua... or is this the work of the Herrscher of Corrosion again? No, we can't let the rhythm be disrupted. We might as well make the best of it." Wang Chen didn't reveal his stunned expression, but directly put himself in the role and immediately said, "How many Fire Moth troops are there in the entire Canghai City now?"

"Sir, they..." Himiko glanced at the people around Wang Chen and looked a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, just tell me directly. I'll take responsibility for any problems you have." Wang Chen said

"Okay, sir. Including our fifth team, as well as the seventh and twelfth teams, we have entered Canghai City." Himiko said slowly.

"Only three? To deal with the entire city's Honkai beasts?" Wang Chen frowned.

"Of course, there are military personnel to assist and support, but it is indeed far from enough. But there is no other way. The Great Collapse has come, and all cities along the entire East Asian coast have been affected. What's more, most of the Fire Moth troops have to be deployed in Changkong City, the center of the Collapse. The reason why three Fire Moth teams can enter Canghai City is because of the size of Canghai City." Himiko also showed a helpless look and said.

"Also, Master Joker, the masters above have assigned an additional mission to all of our teams. That is, after we find you, we will tell you about the crisis in Changkong City and ask the masters to solve it. We also hope that you will go back to the headquarters of the Fire Chaser Moth before going to Changkong City."

"Oh, I see... Then take me back to the Fire Moth. By the way, please settle these survivors I found in this city." Wang Chen said.

"Yes, sir, please follow me." Himiko made an inviting gesture and signaled Wang Chen to go first.

"Everyone has seen a serious scene. Follow me. We can leave here temporarily and go to a safe place." Wang Chen turned his head and looked at the people who looked surprised and said.

Chapter 314 Origin IV

"Um, Hua, what is Brother Wang Chen's identity?" At this time, Carol, who was sitting in the military transport vehicle, asked Hua quietly.

"Don't ask me. There are so many soldiers and troops... I thought you knew. Aren't your parents from the military district?" Hua was also a little confused about this, but her mind was not entirely on it. When she heard the woman who obviously looked like an officer say that all the coastal cities in East Asia were affected, Hua was full of worries about her hometown.

But Hua had no choice. Now that she had been taken away, she could only obey the country's arrangements and could not go back to her hometown alone. Hua could only pray in her heart that her family was okay.

"I don't know either... Although they are indeed something from the army... But these people are obviously not from the army. And didn't you hear just now? The military has to cooperate with their actions. They should be the special forces that specialize in dealing with those monsters. The kind that often appears in novels. Maybe everyone has some superpowers. Look, isn't Brother Wang Chen one? Joker... Doesn't that mean ace? He must be the most powerful person in this army. No wonder they are all respectful to Brother Wang Chen." Carol said in a low voice.

"We're here." At this time, the vehicle stopped and Himiko signaled everyone to get off, and Hua and Carol naturally got off as well.

"Is this... the airport?" Hua saw that he and others had returned to the direction of the airport, but now they came to the runway. Countless tents had been set up here, and many supplies were being transported up and down by air transport planes.

"Oh my god, there's a huge monster over there!" Suddenly, Carol pointed to a few stories tall Honkai beast not far away. A tank-class Honkai beast appeared not far away and roared. The human soldiers' gunfire and heavy firepower weapons failed to cause any significant damage.

"What...what should we do? What is it...what is it going to do?" Carol noticed that purple energy began to gather in the mouth of the Tank-class Honkai Beast. It looked very scary and her face turned pale with fear.

"Members of each team, stop that tank-class Honkai beast! It is about to release the Honkai Cannon! Load all the anti-Honkai bullets!" After seeing this, Himiko immediately began to give orders, but before these people could react, a figure had already rushed up quickly and approached the Honkai beast at an extremely fast speed.

"No need to go! Evacuate people quickly to avoid being affected by the energy." After Himiko saw clearly that it was Wang Chen who took action, she exhaled for some reason and then changed the order.

"Um, will Brother Wang Chen win?" At this time, Carol appeared on Himiko and asked worriedly.

"Wang Chen?" Himiko was stunned. Obviously she didn't know this name.

"That's the one..." Hua also followed and pointed in the direction Wang Chen was heading and said.

"Oh... As for him, don't worry. You haven't seen that adult fight before, so it's normal that you don't know." Himiko then said, "I hope you will keep your mouth shut about everything you see next. Remember, this is not a request. If the secret is leaked, what will happen, I don't know what the consequences will be."

Then, with a swing of the sword, the tank-class Honkai beast was directly split into two halves by the sword, and the Honkai cannon that was about to be ejected was also broken by the sword and turned into particles and dissipated.

"Oh my god... just one strike." Carol covered her mouth and looked at the scene in amazement. Wang Chen smashed the monster that many soldiers had not been able to cause much damage to with just one sword. Is this still a human?

"It's scary, isn't it? That's not like being a human being at all." Himiko said calmly, "That's why you should keep what you saw in your heart forever and don't tell anyone."

Hua and Carol looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

……

Soon, Hua, Carol, Theresa, Lin and Wang Chen boarded a transport plane and flew to America where the Fire Moth headquarters was located.

"Captain...what exactly happened? Can you tell me?" On the plane, Theresa finally recovered all her memories. Recalling her experiences in this world, many questions came to her mind.

"What do you want to ask?" Wang Chen said.

"Too many. What's going on in this world? The third great collapse they just talked about, Changkong City... Have we come to the future world? But why is Fu Hua an ordinary student? Ji Zi also seems to not know me at all? Is this a parallel world? But those people all seem to know you, what is going on?" Theresa asked.

"You and Lin, listen carefully. What I am about to say next is about a big secret, which I have been hiding for a long time. I may explain it to people we trust later. But remember not to talk about this with anyone." Wang Chen thought for a while and communicated with Lin and Theresa through the synchronous link.

"Okay!" Both of them nodded.

"First of all, this is not any real world, but a false illusion. Theresa, you should remember that because of Feather's rampage, we were sucked into this illusion world that was originally supposed to be controlled by Fu Hua." Wang Chen said.

"Yes... So the illusion is out of control, which means something happened to Fu Hua? The illusion is no longer under Fu Hua's control, and Fu Hua is even deeply trapped in the illusion, which is where we are now?" Theresa asked.

"Yes, and then next, this illusion was not fabricated by the Corrosion Ruler at random, but a real illusion created based on Fu Hua's real memory. It is precisely because of this that Fu Hua cannot break free." Wang Chen said.

"Real memory... wait? If all this is true... it's not right? The third great collapse they just talked about, Changkong City? Shouldn't these happen in the future?" Theresa asked in surprise.

"Theresa... have you ever heard this saying? History is a cycle." Wang Chen said lightly.

"Reincarnation?"

"The world shown in the illusion now is about 5 years ago. It is not the future, but the past... This is what happened in the last era, or in other words, the last civilization destroyed by the collapse." Wang Chen said slowly.

"What did you say? The memories of Fu Hua that we are seeing now are from 50,000 years ago?!! Fu Hua... is a human from the previous civilization?" For a moment, this large amount of information almost made Theresa unable to hold back from making a sound, and her eyes couldn't help but look towards Hua.

"I know about the previous civilization, and I also know about the destruction caused by the collapse. Tianming has long been involved in history and archaeology and has obtained relevant information in this regard. Even many of Tianming's technologies were developed through research on the heritage left over from the previous era. Grandpa has also been committed to exploring this area." After Theresa finished speaking, she withdrew her gaze from Hua's face, which looked like he was worried, and sighed, saying:

"No wonder... No wonder she has no power at all now, and her temperament is so weak, far from what she is now... But because of this, she looks like what a middle school student should look like. It turns out that Fu Hua was a person from 5 years ago. Is this her starting point? Is this the source of her personality change? Someone who survived the Great Collapse..." Theresa murmured to herself.

"Wait...if Sister Fu Hua is like this...then Brother Wang Chen, are you like this too? After all, Sister Ying said before that she had seen Brother Wang Chen 500 years ago." At this time, Lin noticed this keenly and said with some surprise.

"Yes... those people all know you, and they call you the Ace... Have you also lived for 5 years? A warrior from the last era? Is this your deepest secret?" Theresa was shocked again, looked at Wang Chen and said.

Chapter 315 Wang Chen's Doubts

"Theresa...you know me, my memory..." Wang Chen paused and didn't say anything else.

"Oh... I almost forgot. You seem to have been missing a lot of memories. You yourself are not very clear." Theresa recalled that Wang Chen had been losing his memory, so she did not continue to ask.

"Although I can't remember whether I came from 50,000 years ago. But I remember these people, and they know me. Maybe I did appear in the last era. But these are not important. The key for us is to protect Fu Hua and allow her to successfully wake up from the illusion." Wang Chen said.

"Hmm... is history a circle? The third great collapse of the previous civilization actually broke out in Changkong City... The entire range involves the entire coast of East Asia... Forget it, Captain, you are right, now we must focus on Fu Hua and the Corrosion Ruler. As for the third great collapse of this world, we will do our best when the time comes." Theresa also looked at Hua and said.

"As far as I know, Fu Hua is indeed a warrior who survived from the last era. And she has been guarding the Shenzhou area ever since. She supports the spark of civilization, eliminates collapse... She has been silently guarding Shenzhou for a long time. In Shenzhou, she also has a resounding title, which you should be familiar with, and that is the Red Kite Immortal." Wang Chen said slowly.

"The Red Kite Immortal? He is the guardian of Shenzhou who brought down the Crusaders of Destiny 500 years ago and the era of Grandpa and Lady Kallen. He caused the entire Destiny Legion to be defeated... This shouldn't be the case. If he is such a powerful being, how could Fu Hua be so weak?" Theresa said in surprise.
