Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

"Don't go into details about the process, just tell me the conclusion."

Ai Yue interrupted Prometheus's report and asked, "Have you found the target?"

"There are currently zero suspicious targets in Atla City."

Prometheus said.

"Inside Atla City?"

Ai Yue raised his eyebrows, "In other words, is there one outside the city?"

"After the Great Collapse, 2215 people left Mu Continent through various means. We are currently tracking their movements."

Prometheus was silent for a moment, then quickly produced a result. "The whereabouts of 2214 individuals have been confirmed and cleared of suspicion. Only one person remains missing."

"One person is missing?"

Ai Yue frowned, "Where was the other party last seen?"

"The target boarded a cruise ship from Mu Continent to Shenzhou 73 minutes and 25 seconds ago."

Prometheus said, "Ten minutes ago, a Honkai beast appeared on this cruise ship, and the suspected target disappeared on the ship."

Prometheus also thoughtfully provided a map with the location where the suspect last disappeared marked on it.

Ai Yue looked at the red dot on the map, then looked at Australia right below the red dot, and couldn't help but frown.

"Quinn, send reconnaissance drones to conduct reconnaissance in the sea area between the target's disappearance location and the experimental base. Remember, send underwater drones as well."

"receive."

Mu Continent, Atla City, the Fire Moth branch.

"How's the situation on the front line?"

Dr. Mei stood at a large map table, frowning as he looked at the situation. "Has the evacuation and sheltering of ordinary residents been completed?"

"Eighty-one percent is complete! Considering the uncounted casualties and missing persons, this should be about all!"

Wei Erwei was operating a computer not far away. "Currently, all the systems in the shelter are running smoothly. Well, it's worthy of my work!"

"understood."

Dr. Mei nodded and said, "Let the soldiers on the first line of defense withdraw and move to the second line of defense. Kevin, get ready."

"now?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "But, the Herrscher has not been found yet."

The primary target of the fusion warrior is naturally the Herrscher. Before the Herrscher shows up, arbitrarily throwing the fusion warrior into the battle will obviously be extremely disadvantageous to the subsequent operations.

"The most important thing right now is to preserve Atla City as much as possible. There are so many cutting-edge technological projects here. If Atla City is destroyed, a lot of information may never be recovered."

Dr. Mei shook his head. "As for the Herrscher... send it to the Light Star Experimental Base again..."

"No, I'm already here."

Following Ai Yue's voice, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if Ai Yue's presence was a symbol that could make people feel at ease.

"How is the situation in Atla City?"

Ai Yue asked, "Are there enough troops?"

It's not that Atla City is without troops from various countries, but the city itself has been frequently attacked by the Honkai disaster, and its military force has been in a tight state for a long time, so much so that fusion warriors are needed to rescue it. Now that it is facing another major Honkai outbreak, the situation is probably not optimistic.

"Wei Weiwei has reinforced the fortifications before, so it can still hold up for now."

Dr. Mei replied, "However, even with the combined strength of Kevin and the others, I'm afraid we can only barely deal with the Honkai Beast Sea. If the Herrscher seizes the opportunity to show up, the problem will be difficult to resolve."

"Don't worry about the Herrscher's problem. Just focus on dealing with the Honkai Beast Sea."

Ai Yue's tone was a little subtle, "Don't worry, just hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive."

Reinforcements?

Hearing this, Dr. Mei couldn't help but be stunned.

Now the entire Mu Continent is shrouded in terrifying Honkai energy. Ordinary human soldiers and military facilities cannot enter at all. Even if there are special transportation equipment that can break through the interference of Honkai energy and send troops in, it is a drop in the bucket. What problem can it solve?

Even their external communications from Mu Continent now rely on Prometheus extensions. Ordinary equipment has long been out of service due to the influence of Honkai energy radiation.

"In short, just hold on,"

Ai Yue did not explain too much, but turned to the next topic, "By the way, I think we can start the 'stage plan' now."

"Now?"

Dr. Mei frowned. "I think the groundwork is still lacking. Isn't it a bit too risky to rashly implement the 'stage plan' at this time?"

The stage plan, as the name suggests, is a performance-like thing, and its content is also very simple, which is to disclose the truth of the collapse to the world, and at the same time push the fusion warriors and others to the forefront, package and promote them as "symbols of resistance to the collapse", and encourage mankind to unite and not cause chaos because of excessive despair.

"No, this opportunity is just right. If it's any later, it's hard to say what will happen."

Ai Yue shook his head firmly, "Don't worry, believe in the tenacity of mankind."

"Okay, I understand. I'll make arrangements."

Dr. Mei nodded, finally convinced by Ai Yue, "I hope everything can go smoothly as planned."

"It all depends on people."

Ai Yue smiled and suddenly said, "By the way, who is there over there?"

"Kevin, Weiwei, and a few colleagues you don't know,"

Dr. Mei glanced around the room, a little surprised by Ai Yue's question, "What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, I'm afraid Wei Erwei will mess around at this time, so keep a close eye on her and don't let her out of your sight."

Ai Yue smiled and said, "Also, have you lost weight again? Your belt is a little loose... No more talking, Kevin will eat me. Goodbye!"

"What is this guy talking about?"

Wei Erwei came over angrily, "Who would mess around? I also know my priorities!"

"Ai Yue said before that we no longer need to take care of the Herrschers. What did he mean?"

Kevin also came over at this time, but he obviously didn't take Ai Yue's words to heart, "Does that mean the Herrscher won't appear in Mu Continent?"

"Perhaps, but Ai Yue seems very confident in what he does. He can say such things. At least for the time being, the Herrscher will not be able to threaten us."

Dr. Mei said thoughtfully, "Kevin, go gather the fusion warriors and prepare. It's your turn to take the stage next."

"I see,"

Kevin nodded, but his expression suddenly changed. He lowered his brows and looked troubled. "By the way, do we really want to carry out that 'stage plan'?"

At this point, it always feels weird to ask him to perform some theatrical actions during the battle for some plan.

"You used to like this kind of thing, didn't you?"

Dr. Mei looked at Kevin with a smile, "I still remember that you would deliberately show off your skills on the basketball court to attract other people's attention."

"That's all in the past,"

Kevin sighed, "I understand. I'll try my best."

"Just think it's for me, okay?"

Dr. Mei quietly held Kevin's hand and said, "I also want to see more of your handsome side."

"What a wonderful feeling!"

Only after Kevin left did Wei Liwei say with a smile, "When are you getting married? I'll prepare a good gift!"

"That's still a long way off,"

Dr. Mei regained her focus. She put her hand on her belt, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Tell me, what exactly does Ai Yue mean? Where is the Herrscher?"

"From what I know about him,"

Weiwei's smile gradually faded. "I'm afraid the Herrscher is on his side."

"I thought so, but you don't seem worried?"

Dr. Mei looked at Velvet and said, "Judging from the current concentration of Honkai energy, this Herrscher is probably unprecedentedly powerful."

In response to Dr. Mei's question, Wei Erwei simply changed the subject: "The Five Innate Elements, right? Do you know what that means?"

"It seems to be a concept in Shenzhou philosophy, referring to the five stages of the universe's transition from infinity to the birth of heaven and earth?"

Dr. Mei said uncertainly, "What's wrong?"

"So, the Five Innate Ones are here."

Wei Erwei smiled mysteriously, "Then guess where 'Wuji' is?"

Chapter 55 The Greediest Man on Earth.

Just as Dr. Mei and Velvet had speculated, the Ninth Herrscher was indeed approaching Australia.

Just before Ai Yue contacted Dr. Mei, Quinn had already sent back the images captured by the reconnaissance drone.

Nothing unusual was found on the sea surface of more than 10 million square kilometers, but underwater, the drone captured a large group of Honkai beasts, heading straight towards the Light Star Experimental Base.

Combined with the previously disappeared suspect, what Ai Yue is experiencing now is already very clear.

Obviously, for some unknown reason, the Herrscher born in Mu Continent did not choose Atla City as his primary target. Instead, he set his sights on Ai Yue, intending to use the information gap to launch a sneak attack on the Star of Light before he was exposed.

Unfortunately, the Herrscher obviously underestimated Ai Yue's vigilance, or rather, in his eyes, he was just a scholar.

After learning that the Herrscher's target was him, Ai Yue actually breathed a sigh of relief, because there were basically not many living people in Australia. Even if the Herrscher of Rock could use a black hole to destroy the entire Australia, the only thing he would lose would be one of his experimental bases.

If the Herrscher of Stone could be dealt with at such a price, it would be a hugely profitable deal.

Of course, it would be best not to have such a loss, especially since it was a work that Wei Erwei had worked hard on for more than a month. If it was destroyed so easily, Ai Yue had reason to suspect that the guy would use this as an excuse to ask him for a high amount of funding.

After finishing the call with Dr. Mei, Ai Yue found Mebius again.

"Are you finally willing to come out?"

Mebius' tone was somewhat helpless, "What have you been doing these past two days? I can't find you no matter how hard I try."

"It's just a little experiment, isn't it over?"

Ai Yue casually passed over the topic and asked, "Do you know what's happening on Mu Continent?"

"It's definitely earlier than you know, but there's nothing we can do for now."

Mobius shook his head. "In the past two days, many Honkai disasters have occurred all over the world. Headquarters is already overwhelmed and can't spare time to support Mu Continent. What do you think?"

"Where are those psychic-sensing fusion warriors I asked you to help train?"

Ai Yue asked, "At least we can put the virtual Honkai beast into actual combat, right?"

"Yes, you can, but how do you get there?"

Mebius asked, "Did you build a portal in Atla?"

"What are you doing there? Isn't the advantage of the Virtual Honkai Beast that it can be controlled remotely?"

Ai Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry about the network transmission problem. Rose will contact you when the time is right. Just ask them to get ready first."

"I see,"

Mebius didn't ask any more questions, but brought up another topic. "But then again, what are you going to do? I don't believe you'll just sit in the lab and give orders about this matter."

It is very abnormal that a person who dares to face the Eighth Ruler and even uses himself as bait to lure the other party into a desperate situation now has no intention of taking any action when facing the outbreak of the Ninth Great Collapse.

Based on Mebius's understanding of Ai Yue, she could feel that this guy was hiding something from her.

"My experiment is not finished yet, let's talk about it after it's finished."

Ai Yue naturally couldn't tell anyone that the Herrscher was targeting him, so he calmly changed the subject, "By the way, how has Klein been these past few days?"

"Klein? She's doing fine. She went out to play yesterday and is in the lab today."

Mebius glanced over to the side. Klein was not far away, concentrating on recording experimental data. "What's wrong? Are you suddenly concerned about my Klein? I'm warning you, don't have any bad intentions, okay?"
