"It's the second time we've been through this, what else can be a problem?" Kevin lowered his eyes, "But... it would be a lie to say I don't care. I may now understand how you felt when you tried to save the relationship but were helpless."
"Himiko...we still couldn't save her...everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but in the end we couldn't even save a single person." Zhu Yufeng sighed softly.
"Yeah... It seems like everything is going in a good direction. Just like this time, Australia was not completely burned down, and one-third of the human settlements were left." Kevin let out a long breath. "When Uriel blew himself up before, I had a moment of doubt that the person we would lose this time would be you."
A Herrscher blew himself up right in front of him, and the target was Zhu Yufeng, who had not yet fully awakened his Herrscher abilities. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried.
"Speaking of this, have you ever thought about how you and Mei are going to get along with each other?" Zhu Yufeng glanced at the frost on Kevin's feet, perhaps because Kevin had just returned from the all-out battle with Himiko. After cleaning up the Houkai Beast along the way, he has not yet adjusted from the fighting state.
In his previous life, when Kevin's emotions fluctuated, the changes in the surrounding temperature would become very obvious, such as instantly freezing the solution in the container in his hand.
But no matter what, even if Kevin remained calm, his maximum body temperature would still cause frostbite to anyone who approached him without protection.
Except fusion fighters and Herrschers.
Mei's qualifications destined her to be unable to become a fusion warrior, and therefore, as lovers, they could never hug each other again after that.
After a moment of silence, Kevin said: "I have long been prepared for this. I think Mei is the same. In the face of Honkai, we often have no choice, don't we? At least this time, Mei and I have no choice. What regrets are left, we confirmed each other's feelings and intentions earlier than in the previous life."
Zhu Yufeng glanced at Kevin. Wait, no regrets?
Kevin shrugged.
"Feng, Kevin, Commander Lionel wants to see you about something. He is with Dr. Mebius now." A soldier trotted over and said. As he got closer to Kevin, he shuddered. After hesitating for a moment, he took a few steps forward.
"Aren't you afraid of frostbite?" Zhu Yufeng asked. In his previous life, he remembered that although the other soldiers were not afraid of Kevin, they would not get too close to Kevin, unless it was an extremely hot summer and the air conditioner was broken.
"You two are heroes who have protected humanity. You have paid such a price to defeat Honkai. How can we be afraid and retreat because of a few so-called side effects?" the warrior replied.
Zhu Yufeng and Kevin looked at each other. The attitude of this warrior was considered unusual. Although ordinary people's attitude towards fusion warriors was not as bad as that towards Honkai beasts, they were always alienated and vigilant. Although the world was not short of enlightened and noble people, it was even more lacking in ordinary mortals.
"Got it. We'll be there right away," Zhu Yufeng said.
The soldier saluted them and watched them leave.
On the way to where Lionel was, Zhu Yufeng asked out of the blue, "Will Adam be born early this time?"
Kevin pulled the corner of his mouth. He didn't answer this question. It was difficult to answer. He felt that he was not thick-skinned enough. He could only say that the atmosphere and the feelings were just right at that time, and then... Then he just wanted to say that Mei was still the same Mei...
When they arrived at Mebius's temporary laboratory, Lionel, Mebius and May were all inside.
Because Zhu Yufeng asked such a question suddenly before, Kevin saw Mei subconsciously avoiding her eyes, and Mei felt a little strange. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that it might be the cause of the side effects of Kevin's surgery.
Kevin's side effects... Now it seems that only Feng and Hathaway, who are also fusion warriors, can get close to him. And according to the predetermined plan, new fusion warriors will continue to appear in the future, but I can't get close to Kevin anymore... It's okay for others, but it's hard to say for Feng...
Thinking about what happened between her and Kevin, Mei couldn't hold herself together now. It was because of Feng and Lilith's daily instigation that she accidentally listened to Lilith's instigation, and then... just...
She also looked away, not looking at Kevin.
Mebius looked at May and Kevin in surprise. Why did something seem wrong with these two people?
Lionel didn't care so much and said directly: "We have all seen the effectiveness of the Fusion Warrior Program. I have also reported the results of this operation to His Majesty the King. His Majesty the King is very satisfied with it and agreed to further carry out the Fusion Warrior Program. The goal is to establish an organized team of Fusion Warriors."
Zhu Yufeng was about to say something when Lionel changed the subject and looked at Mobius and said, "The Mu Continent investigation proved that Hathaway is actually Xila, a former assassin from the assassination organization 'Hu Yue', and the executor of the assassination plan of Dr. Mobius. Dr. Mobius must give an explanation to His Majesty the King about the fact that she is still alive and completed the fusion warrior surgery at an unknown time."
"Yes, yes, I will submit a review later and voluntarily resign from the position of parliamentarian. There is no need to wait for the king's order." Mobius waved her hand perfunctorily. She was not surprised by this, and she almost knew that after she left, Mei would take her place and officially become a member of the Fire Moth.
She never wanted to be a member of parliament, she only took this position to control the right to speak. Otherwise, before Mei became a member of parliament, she would have been pissed off by those stupid teammates. Even if it was Mei, she couldn't get along with her in many ways. Now she gave up this position directly because of Beffinger and Lionel. At least on the road to fighting against Honkai, they are clear-headed and will not hold back.
Here we have to mention Beffinger, the fallen angel who is only slightly less annoying than Naheimer. The main purpose of his cooperation with Mebius is because he feels happy to offend people, especially when he offends those old guys to the point of having a heart attack. Secondly, he needs to do so to fight against the Honkai.
In addition, she also supported some people through the World Serpent to become senators. The Grey Serpent Network was also built through the cooperation between herself, Velvet, Rofko, and Mostima. There was no need to worry about intelligence, let alone losing the right to speak.
In other words, if a more suitable candidate appears, she no longer needs to stand in the open. The identity of a member of parliament has become dispensable. She is not a person who is greedy for power. Power is just a means for her to achieve her goal. When it is no longer needed, she can abandon it at any time.
Lionel was a little surprised at Mebius' attitude, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. The king had asked him before about the relationship between Mebius and Mebius. According to Lionel's own observation, although Mebius and Mebius had some common ground in some areas, there were also some areas where the two could not agree at all.
The king was relieved and prepared to make May an ex-officio member of parliament.
The Fusion Warrior Plan has obviously been very effective, and will inevitably become the main force against Honkai in the future. In addition to fighting Honkai, such a terrifying team is also terrifying for humans. Someone must check and balance them. Feng is undoubtedly on the side of Mebius, and Kevin is undoubtedly on the side of Mei. In this way, there is at least a mutual restraint.
For this reason, the King of Mu Continent also made a ruling to revoke Mebius's position as a senator and let Me become a senator. At the same time, the rest of the Mebius faction remained unchanged. The senators who had raised objections to the fusion warrior plan in the early stage and the senators who agreed to negotiate with the Herrscher were all dismissed from their positions, which could be regarded as a comfort to the Mebius faction.
As a result, if nothing unexpected happens, those MPs who are hostile to Mebius will naturally and unconsciously move closer to Mebius' side. Wouldn't this create a good balance of power?
Although Lionel himself still prefers the Fire Moth as an organization to fight against Honkai, it is better to have only one voice inside, less intrigue and more seriousness about Honkai... But the court of Mu Continent itself is in such a mess, it would be good if the Fire Moth Council, where many interests are gathered, does not make things worse.
In short, according to the idea of the King of Mu Continent, the Fire Moth Parliament will be divided into three main factions in the future, namely the Mebius faction, the Mei faction, and the military faction led by Lionel. In this way, those who need to study can study, and those who need to fight can fight. It doesn’t matter how they intrigue in normal times, but in the end, when it comes to the road of fighting against the collapse, the leaders of the three factions can at least reach a consensus.
Thinking about how many things he would have to deal with in the future, Lionel wanted to apply to transfer that B, Beffinger, from Mu Continent.
As for Lionel's desire to become a fusion warrior and fight on the front line, the king also agreed, as a check and balance... But the premise is that Lionel must guarantee his personal safety. He can go for surgery, but he must be guaranteed not to die in the surgery...
"Then is the command of fusion warriors still decided by the parliament?" Zhu Yufeng asked a question that concerned him. The command of fusion warriors was extremely chaotic in the previous life. Although it was nominally designated by the parliament, the parliament itself was full of intrigue and had become a mess. If Kevin could not keep things in order alone and only listened to Mei, who knows how chaotic it would be.
The direct result of this operation is that although there are organized teams in name, only the Fallen Angel team will be deployed as a permanent team. The others are either mixed into ordinary warrior teams like Kosmo, or act alone like Qianjie.
Even for the Fallen Angel Squad, the top management must review and designate the personnel before each operation.
The reason why the Fallen Angel Team can exist like this is because the top leaders want to check and balance May and Kevin... Of course, the secret operation of Lilith and Beffinger is also indispensable.
"Yes, it is still up to the council to decide. However, Feng and Kevin, you two have the right to participate in the council's discussion on fighting Honkai." Lionel said, "You two are currently the tentative leaders of the future fusion warriors. After the Seventh Herrscher incident is over, the Fire Moth will successively perform surgery on the warriors who volunteer to undergo the surgery."
If the Seventh Herrscher incident is over... then it's almost time for the Twilight Street incident, right? The gray snake who was assigned to Twilight Street conveyed that after meeting with him, Esmodes went to see Aponia and killed the priest who was originally going to be killed by her before the Seventh Herrscher incident.
But this time, she took the initiative to kill him. The priest hadn't done anything yet when she knocked him down with a brick.
So now Esmodes is in prison just like in her previous life, and he has to rescue her...
"I have said everything I need to say. I have other things to deal with next, so I'll be leaving first." Lionel said and left.
Only four people including Mebius were left in the laboratory.
"Regarding Kevin's side effect...is there still no solution?" Zhu Yufeng asked. Although the early fusion warrior surgeries did have side effects, Mobius had made improvements. Why did Kevin still have this side effect?
"First, this is the characteristic of Pavanti. It is normal for Kevin to have the ability to manipulate ice and snow after fusing with Pavanti." Mebius said calmly, "Second, Kevin's adaptability to Honkai energy is extremely high. After fusing with Pavanti, this ability to change the temperature according to his emotions is not so much a side effect as it is more like Kevin has not yet learned how to control the power that he constantly radiates."
"Well, my thoughts are consistent with Dr. Mebius's." Mei nodded and said, "However, I personally still do not rule out the possibility of unadjustable side effects. The specific situation, I think, requires more detailed research."
Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin, Kevin looked at his hands, and fell into deep thought. After becoming a fusion fighter, he seems to have been using the Honkai ability to fight. As for how to restrain the overflowing Honkai energy, he I tried it in my last life, but as I joined the Chimera Project, it became more and more difficult to accurately control the Honkai Energy, and I didn't have the time, so I simply gave up.
Only after the beginning of the new civilization did Kevin have time to learn how to control his own power, otherwise he would have to let Su take care of the baby. However, Mei and Kevin's son is not a normal human being. Just low temperature... Even if his bloodline has been diluted for who knows how many generations, Siegfried can still cause an artificial collapse.
The temperature has changed a lot recently. It was close to 30 degrees a few days ago and it's only a few degrees today. I have been feeling uncomfortable since this morning. I thought it would be better at night, but my head hurts even more. I felt drowsy after taking the medicine. Everyone should pay more attention to taking care of their bodies. Although you only catch a cold once a year, it is still very uncomfortable when you do.
Including today's, I've already owed three updates. I'll definitely find time to make up for it next week.
Chapter 218 The Price of Destiny
Twilight Street.
Once again coming to Dusk Street and arriving in front of the sanatorium in Aponia, Zhu Yufeng's mood was very complicated. At this time in the previous life, Sakura should have come here to carry out the cleansing plan and killed all the children infected by Honkai who were adopted in Aponia.
After that, he and Lilith came to conduct follow-up investigations to prove that Aponia had nothing to do with the outrageous accusation of "causing the collapse".
At that time, because the Seventh Herrscher burned down the Australian continent, if Kevin had not completed the fusion warrior surgery in time, human civilization would have faced the crisis of destruction, so... the Fire Moth at that time was very sensitive to the collapse, and even held the principle of rather killing the innocent than letting them go, and collected suspicious people and information everywhere.
Then they found the sanatorium in Aponia. At that time, people avoided those who were infected with "Honkai Disease". Of course, it is the same now. Although the Fire Moth has done a good job of confidentiality, the public still does not know the detailed information related to Honkai. However, the number of people affected by Honkai is increasing day by day.
The Fire Moth thought Aponia was suspicious. Everyone avoided people with the "Honkai Disease", so why were you here to take in children who were infected by the Honkai Disease? Coupled with the recent small-scale Honkai Diseases near Dusk Street and a bad-tempered security guard, Aponia's suspicion level soared.
What does the investigation report say?
"The suspect took in a large number of children who were corrupted by the Honkai, and it is suspected that this was used to cause the Honkai."
When Zhu Yufeng saw the report, he couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the brain of the person in charge of the investigation. There were many people who were corrupted by the Honkai inside the Fire Moth and even in the various branch research institutes, but this didn't cause any Honkai.
However, the situation is different now. Australia has not been completely burned, the on-site handling situation is in place, the Fire Moth is not so sensitive to Honkai, and Master Qian arrived at the Fire Moth very early.
However, Master Qian left early. Esmodes started to make trouble. She killed the priest and other clergy in the church in advance. Before that, she went to see Aponia! After arresting Esmodes, the Fire Moth also detected signs of Honkai energy infection in her brain... Now she is still imprisoned in the deepest place as a serious criminal, and Lilith is trying to find a way to get her out...
Fortunately, Paddo, who was born in Dusk Street, could testify for Aponia, and Eden, who agreed to join the Fire Moth and provide financial support after the Seventh Herrscher incident, also expressed his support for Aponia. The Fire Moth would not just kill them all right away, after all, the financial sponsor had spoken...
We have to mention Nahaima and Davion here. Nahaima also joined the Fire Moth, and then went on the road of losing her moral integrity and never returned. Davion tried his best to find out about his sister's situation here, and then his tense face was full of confusion: When did my sister have a childhood sweetheart named Feng? Why didn't I know? My sister followed Feng to join the Fire Moth. Didn't she go to South America to travel? This Feng also followed Alicia to join the Fire Moth. Isn't he my sister's childhood sweetheart? He and my sister haven't confirmed their relationship yet, and there are more than one or two speculations about his future partner within the Fire Moth?
Then Davion looked at someone with a very, very unfriendly look, as if he was looking at a scum of the world and was going to destroy him humanely in the next second, that is...
Brother, didn’t you notice that when you looked at me unkindly, your sister also looked at you unkindly?
Davion: Impossible, absolutely impossible! My sister is such a gentle person, how could she have any negative thoughts?
Zhu Yufeng: If I weren’t here, do you think your sister standing behind you would be holding a sickle in her hand?
Anyway, after a while, Zhu Yufeng took over the investigation mission of Dusk Street. After all, he was now a fusion warrior, and Fire Moth was at ease. As for Davion, although he didn't say much except for understanding things related to himself during the few days he stayed in Fire Moth, he tried to warn himself in a low voice when he boarded the plane back to the Italian Peninsula: "No matter how you feel about her now, if you like her, you like her, and if you don't like her, you don't like her. Don't let my sister get hurt again, otherwise, even if I am far inferior to you now, I will not let you have an easy time."
Zhu Yufeng: “…”
Guess if your sister knew what you said, would your plane still be able to fly back safely?
Forget it, this is also a sign that a younger brother cares about his sister. As long as it doesn't hinder him, he doesn't care and he didn't tell Lilith about it.
Stopping his thoughts, Zhu Yufeng glanced at Kosmo beside him. When accepting the task, Kosmo also very firmly expressed his desire to come along, saying that he had some questions that he wanted answers from Aponia.
Speaking of this, ever since the top management decided that both Kevin and myself have the right to attend the meeting, trying to make Kevin and myself check and balance each other, Kevin and myself are no longer suitable to be in the same team. After some arrangements, the original team was split up, Kosmo, Desdobia, and Hua followed Kevin to form an independent new team, and Hen was naturally stuffed in.
Basically, I have returned to the state of my previous life, except that there are Alicia, Paduo and Sakura on my side.
Recently, Kosmo has been in a state of depression all day long. Lian Hua feels that he seems to have suffered a greater blow than her and tries to comfort him...
Zhu Yufeng roughly guessed what Kosmo was thinking about. After being reborn, the relationship between Kosmo and Desdobia was no longer vague. In his previous life, he was helpless about Desdobia's departure. In this life, the trajectory of fate still stubbornly came back, and the Eighth Herrscher incident seemed to be imminent.
Kosmo began to doubt whether he could overcome fate and save the girl he cared about.
In fact, it's not just Kosmo. Mobius, Velvet, Sakura, Alicia, and even Kevin and Su who is far away in the Fifth Institute should have some thoughts on this. This is probably the first time they have experienced the feeling of powerlessness of knowing what will happen but being unable to change it... But they either let it go quickly or don't show it obviously.
It seemed that Padu really didn't think so much. As for Grace, she didn't need to know so much.
For this mission, if Kosmo had not insisted on coming, the only ones who would come here would be myself, Seele and Pado.
Yes, Seele also participated in this mission, but she does not belong to her own team, she is directly under the Mebius laboratory, although Zhu Yufeng thinks it is no different from being in her own team. Isn't it still his? Seele, as the former Sixth Herrscher's body, has passed the adaptability of the Houkai itself, and is also on the list of people who meet the requirements of the fusion fighter plan according to Lionel's statistics.
Because the Fusion Warrior project was improved by Mebius in advance, there was no such thing as in the previous life, after Kevin, almost no one successfully passed the operation, but the success rate is not very optimistic, after all, whether the operation can be successful In addition to looking at the adaptability of the Houkai itself, it also depends on whether you have this qualification... In the last life, the fusion fighters appeared as an organization because after the Tenth Herrscher incident, the Tenth Herrscher's Herrscher core was made to use To screen those who have the qualifications to become a fusion fighter, for example, Hua was selected as a fusion fighter at that time.
The current Hua is not on the list in Lionel's hand.
Without the Herrscher Core of the Tenth Herrscher, it is basically in the blind box opening stage.
I recalled that time again. The emergence of the fusion warrior corps was such exciting news for mankind. Unfortunately, within a few months, the tragedy of restraint came, and the fusion warrior corps that had just been established was almost completely wiped out.
At this moment, Seele glanced at Cosmo, who was preoccupied, and looked at Patuo: "This guy has a bitter face all the way, and he has been reborn, how can he live back to the way he was before?" gone?"
Padu thought for a moment and said, "Well... maybe Ah Mo thinks this is more handsome?"
Although Amo should be worried about Sister Daisy, it is better not to say it in front of Amo, to save his face.
Seele's eyes twitched. She looked at Kosmo, then at Zhu Yufeng, and compared the two people in her mind. Then she whispered, "This is still different..."
It's really hard to tell what Dead Wood is thinking, or maybe he really isn't thinking about anything, just pure expressionless expression. You can tell what Kosmo is thinking at a glance.
"Here we are." Zhu Yufeng stopped in her tracks. Aponia seemed to have expected this. At this moment, she was standing at the gate of the nursing home, quietly watching their arrival.
Zhu Yufeng hesitated for a moment, but still greeted her: "Aponia."
Aponia nodded slightly, turned slightly to the side, gestured to invite someone in, and said, "Please come in."
Zhu Yufeng and others followed Aponia into the nursing home. He looked at the surrounding environment of the nursing home. There was no big change from when he came before, but among the children, there seemed to be less people and more Some.
Aponia looked at Zhu Yufeng and explained, "If you are looking for Evelyn and Connor... Although Connor has not left us with Eden's financial support, his condition has begun to deteriorate recently. Evelyn... Before she left, Esmodes sent her back, and we gave her the last blessing together."
Zhu Yufeng actually wanted to say that he didn't remember the two names anymore. He only vaguely remembered that one child was related to Qianjie, and the other was related to Esmodes. However, after Aponia said that, he didn't say anything else. He just said, "It's not just that, right? After that, you and Esmodes talked about something else about fate? Not long after she returned to the church, she massacred all the clergy in the church."
This is quite strange about Esmodes. When she was interrogated in the Fire Moth, she just kept saying "this is fate" and said nothing else. She was very quiet and would even pray when she had nothing to do. It was almost impossible to imagine that she was a sinner who had committed such a serious crime.
What kind of destiny is this? Esmodes didn't have the ability to do this at all. She thought that she must have had the same dream as Admire and the others, and then asked Aponia who knew about it. Aponia also told her the truth quite honestly...
After all, Aponiya told Zhu Yufeng directly that he would die...
"Yes, I know. She just followed her original plan." Aponiya lowered her eyes. "Is this the reason why you came here this time? What will happen to these children in the end?"
She glanced at the other people who came with Zhu Yufeng. Ying didn't come, but Kosmo did. That meant the children would be fine at least for now. The girl next to Padu... I had never seen her before...
"This is Seele, from Mobius Laboratory." Zhu Yufeng introduced, and then lowered his voice and said to Aponia, "He is also... the former Sixth Herrscher."
Abonya's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked at Zhu Yufeng with some unknown emotions in her eyes and said, "You... have changed the fate of others once again."
Upon hearing this, Kosmo looked at Zhu Yufeng, then at Abonya, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"It's not just my credit." Zhu Yufeng said. He looked at Kosmo and decided to give him a chance to seek answers from Aponia. "Kosmo, you can chat with Aponia here for a while. Let's go to the sanatorium to see if there is anything we want."
