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

This place has now been completely emptied. Ai Yue sent all the supplies he had accumulated over the past six months to the sanatorium (moved by Qianjie). The remaining materials and various props he had made were also packed up and temporarily stored in the sanatorium, and will be taken away together when he leaves.

However, Ai Yue still left a box and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.

There were some things he had prepared that Padofelice could use, such as special steel wire ropes, instant-explosion smoke bombs, shock-absorbing insoles and other gadgets.

These things may not be of much use on the battlefield, but they are definitely more than enough for stealing.

But this time when she came back, the box was still on the table. It was obvious that Padofelice had not been here in the past thirty hours.

Ai Yue sighed, thinking that when he came in this time, he would see Padovani sleeping on the sofa.

After closing the door, Ai Yue went to the market in the west again. Every day, in order to survive, people would put out the things they used to treasure, or all their family assets, just to exchange them for more food.

Padofelice would occasionally bring some things that were worth selling here to sell, but unfortunately Ai Yue didn't see her today. Instead, she bought a few new things that could be used for scientific research.

Two hours passed in a flash, and Ai Yue still didn't find Padufils. Although he knew very well that she was lucky enough to live until the end of the world, he still felt a little regretful.

What a pity, all the favorability I spent half a year on is wasted.

But if Ai Yue were to force Padufilis into the Fire Moth for his own purposes, he wouldn't be able to do it.

"Ai Yue!"

In the distance, Alicia began waving at him. The plane that would take them to the Fire Moth headquarters had already landed. "Are we leaving?"

"coming!"

Ai Yue took one last look at the settlement where he had lived for more than half a year, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

In the original plot, this place has turned into a deserted street due to the spread of Honkai energy, with only one in ten survivors left. Everyone looks at the world with indifference and vigilance.

But thanks to his own efforts, Dusk Street is still as peaceful and tranquil as it was at the beginning. With the arrival of the Fire Moths, this place will become the largest and safest settlement in the vicinity. Perhaps one day the glory of the city will be restored.

Although this little change is insignificant compared to the doomsday hanging over the entire era, it still does make a small difference to the future, right?

Ai Yue walked towards the transport plane, and various things that might happen in the future kept flashing through his mind.

I will find antidotes for all those problems that are gradually eroding civilization.

Let everything end in this era, end in my hands.

"What's wrong, Ai Yue?" Sitting in the troop transport cabin on the belly of the plane, Alysia looked at Ai Yue across from her. "You look a little serious. Are you airsick?"

"No, I'm just thinking about something." Ai Yue came back to his senses and his expression quickly returned to normal. "I'm more curious about what the Fire Moth's headquarters looks like."

"You'll know in... well, three hours." Alicia glanced at the time. "If there aren't any special circumstances, everyone should be here by now. I can introduce you to a lot of new friends, okay?"

"That would be great."

Ai Yue was about to take the opportunity to ask more about Dr. Mei, Kevin, and the others, but Ying, who had closed her eyes to rest, suddenly opened them and placed her hand on the hilt of the knife: "There's movement... in the warehouse."

Aponiya also turned his head slightly, then showed a hint of surprise, and looked at Ai Yue: "He is our old friend, Mr. Ai Yue."

Old friend... No way!

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the warehouse before Ying.

"boom!"

"Ouch!"

Ai Yue suddenly opened the warehouse door, and then he heard the sound of something falling to the ground and a dazed guy screaming in pain.

The guy who fell on the open space in the center of the warehouse was the one that Ai Yue had been looking for for a long time.

"Pado?" Ai Yue's eyes widened. "Why did you follow me?"

"Ahahaha, Brother Yue..." Paduo propped himself up and knelt on the ground, a flattering smile on his face, "Um, you're not going to kick me off the plane, are you?"

Chapter 11: Free single-family villa upon joining the company

"Name?"

"Ai Yue."

"age?"

"Hmm... 20?"

"gender?"

"military helicopter."

"What's the matter?"

Hearing Ai Yue's outrageous remarks, the person who was responsible for registering his information couldn't help but look up, his face full of surprise: "Are you kidding?"

"You guys aren't allowed to fill in the name of an armed helicopter? That's not right." Ai Yue complained, then shrugged. "Of course, this is just a joke. I just noticed the atmosphere was a bit depressing."

"You'd better be serious." The registrar frowned, trying to make the man in front of him face reality. "Where do you think this is? There are many people like you in Fire Moth!"

"I don't believe it." Ai Yue became even more aggressive, even putting his legs on the table in front of him. "Go ask your boss if he dares to say such a thing. I was personally invited back by Dr. Mei and Alicia. Do you understand?"

It is said that it is easier to get things done when you have someone higher up. When Ai Yue thought of the backer behind him, his whole body became hard.

"Mei, Dr. Mei?" Alicia might have been okay with it, but when Dr. Mei's name appeared, the other party was stunned. "That's impossible. Haven't I received any relevant notifications recently?"

"That means your level is not high enough." Ai Yue acted impatiently. "Okay, hurry up and finish the process. I still have things to do."

The reason why he did this was to scare the other party. After all, his background could not withstand close scrutiny. Although he had done some cover-ups, as long as someone carefully examined him, his true identity would be easily exposed.

Fortunately, the other party was indeed frightened by Dr. Mei's reputation, and the subsequent registration went very smoothly.

After completing the registration, Ai Yue received his own Fire Moth emblem. The pattern on the front was the same emblem that was once printed on the tactical box stolen by Padophilis, while the back was engraved with his name and the specific date of joining the Fire Moth.

Okay, time to go see Paddo next.

After a moment's hesitation, he began to inquire about Padufils's situation.

Ai Yue had mixed feelings about Padfils's willingness to follow him to the Fire Moth.

What made him happy was that Padova was willing to trust him and chose to stay with him. In this way, he would be able to take advantage of Padova's good luck in the future to do some projects that required gambling on the success rate.

The worry is that with Padu's current lazy style and identity as a chivalrous thief, it will take some time to test whether he can settle down in the Fire Moth.

If it really doesn't work, I might as well let Padofelice register as a family member and settle her in the city. Anyway, I'm not worried about not being able to raise a wild cat.

Subconsciously, Ai Yue still hoped that Pado could stay away from danger.

However, before he could find Padofelice's registration office, Alicia found it first. The girl with long pink hair was standing at the corner at the other end of the corridor and waved at him: "Aiyue, this way!"

Ai Yue walked towards Alicia, and the registrar who came out of the registration office a step slower than him also saw this scene. He was originally skeptical, but now he completely believed what Ai Yue said before.

Who could be valued by Dr. Mei and personally bring back the Fire Moth? The last one is now...

His expression changed unpredictably, and then he turned and squeezed into the crowd. It was foreseeable that this news would soon spread throughout the entire Fire Moth.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Ai Yue walked to Alicia's side, "Do you know where Padu was taken?"

The four of them were registered separately. After all, everyone's situation was different. Ai Yue was a scientist, Aponya was a person with super powers, and Qianjie was a "thug with terrifying power."

Padofelice was the most normal one among them, but because she quietly bypassed the eyes and ears of the two fusion warriors and sneaked into the Fire Moth's transport plane, she became particularly conspicuous.

At least there were more people coming to take Padofelice away than on Aponia's side.

"Little Padu, don't worry. Ying is watching over there." Alicia smiled. "Dr. Mei is in charge of Aponia, and Kevin is in charge of Qianjie... Oh, it seems you are really enjoying great treatment."

Alicia was still lamenting about this matter, but Ai Yue did not show any emotion at all.

Putting aside Qianjie and Padochilisse, the reason why Aponia was given so much attention was because the hidden message in the ballad caused the Fire Moth to misunderstand.

He had been thinking about whether he should go check on Aponya to prevent her from being tortured again, but since Dr. Mei was at the scene, it seemed that he didn't have to worry about it.

On the other hand, will Qianjie really not fight?

"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore," Alicia returned to the topic. "Let's go. I'll take you to see the laboratory that Dr. Mei specially prepared for you! You should be looking forward to this the most, right?"

Alicia naturally didn't know that Ai Yue was actually a fake, so she preconceived that scientific researchers like him were most concerned about future scientific research conditions. Ai Yue naturally couldn't say that he actually wanted to know whether the bed in the Fire Moth's dormitory was soft, so he had to follow the girl and walk forward.

The headquarters of Fire Moth is not a building, but a comprehensive park built on a piece of land in the city.

In this park, combat personnel, scientific researchers, logistics personnel, clerical staff, everyone is arranged in designated areas according to their duties and functions, and Ai Yue is no exception.

"This is it."

Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at their destination after boarding the park's internal shuttle. Alicia stood in front of a three-story building, inviting him with a gesture: "Dengdengdeng~ How's it going? Do you like it?"

"A small, stand-alone building?" Ai Yue was a little surprised. "Is this allocated to me?"

Ai Yue actually feels like he is dreaming now - his ultimate dream as a social animal in his previous life was probably to buy a house like this.

Unexpectedly, after dying on the way, he traveled to this world to fulfill his dream.

"Of course, we at Fire Moth are very generous to geniuses!" Alicia said with a smile. "Since most researchers have similar personalities, this small building also has a living area, which can save you time."

"No matter how much I say, it's better to come in and see for yourself. Come on, I'll show you around."

Ailishia pulled Ai Yue into the small building, which was divided into a living area and an experimental area. The first floor and the specially designed and reinforced underground part were laboratories, and the second and third floors were living areas. There were all kinds of furniture, electrical appliances and daily necessities. Ai Yue could even move in without bringing anything.

"Your previous stuff has been delivered here." Alicia pointed to several boxes in the corner. "But I wanted to ask before, you really don't have much stuff, right? Didn't you bring over the experimental equipment you used before?"

"Those are crude gadgets. They won't be useful in the future, so why bother?" Ai Yue looked at the instruments in front of him, the names of which he couldn't even pronounce, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make. "These things are really good."

Looking around, all the instruments and equipment in this laboratory can basically be used to advance the progress of scientific research projects, which is also very useful for Ai Yue.

It’s decided to use the instrument to perform the operation first, and then report the damage in a few days and be done with it.

Ai Yue had heard of a great magician who blew up his laboratory workshop every day in order to get more funding. In comparison, he only reported a few damaged instruments, which should be quite mild, right?

"Almost done." Ai Yue took a quick tour of the house and walked out without stopping. "Let's go find Padu and the others now."

"Eh, you're leaving now?" Alicia was a little surprised. "I thought you'd linger a little. The environment here is much better than before, right?"

"It's not just much better, it's much better." Ai Yue perfunctorily said to Alicia and walked towards the shuttle bus, "So let's go quickly."

Alicia nodded thoughtfully from behind.

He cares more about his old friends than his new life. What a nice person.

"I like this too." Thinking of this, Alicia couldn't help but say it out loud, but instead received a puzzled look from Ai Yue.

Obviously, Ai Yue didn't know that his actions made his image in Alicia's heart more impressive, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

If the difficulty of gaining favorability is used to rank the people he has met so far, the person with the most difficulty in gaining favorability may be controversial, but the person with the easiest favorability must be Alicia.

She really loves this world so much that as long as you are a normal person - no, even if you are not a normal person, she can find many shining points in you and then have a good impression of you.

But it is precisely because of this that so many people like Alicia.

Soon the two of them returned to the original complex building. As soon as Ai Yue got off the shuttle bus, he heard Padofelice's energetic voice: "Brother Yue! Where have you two gone?"

Padova was running out of the building excitedly, followed by Sakura at a leisurely pace.

"Brother Yue, listen to me, those big shots praised me!" Padufilis quickly ran to Ai Yue and, before she could catch her breath, began to take credit. "They said I... Hey, Sister Ying, what did they say about me?"

"They say you're agile, sensitive, and clever." Ying walked over with a smile. Seeing the childish Padufils, she always thought of her sister. "You're suitable for reconnaissance, infiltration, and stealth missions."

"Yes, yes, that's right!" Padofelice puffed out her chest proudly, "What do you think, Brother Yue? Am I really awesome?"

Ai Yue certainly knew that Padufils was very powerful, but he didn't want to respond to her question right now, so he could only perfunctorily say, "Yes, yes, you are the most powerful, the Dusk Street Thief."

Padofelice didn't notice the subtle change in Ai Yue's tone and was still grinning foolishly.

"Dr. Mei said we need to wait a while longer over in Aponia. Why don't we go check out Qianjie first?" Alicia also spoke up at this time, "I wonder if they can get along harmoniously over there..."

"I guess not." Ai Yue shrugged. He had absolute trust in Qianjie—he believed that he would definitely go berserk. "But with Kevin here, there shouldn't be any problem. Didn't you say Kevin is more powerful than you?"

To be honest, after so much time had passed, Ai Yue even thought that the trouble with Qianjie was over.

"It's only a little bit," Alicia said, pinching her index finger and thumb together, leaving only a sliver of space. "Really, only a little bit!"

At this point in time, Kevin had not yet fused so many Honkai beast genes to become a "Chimera", so what Alicia said was true.

However, before a few people had time to get on the bus, they heard a sudden roar coming from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a column of black smoke rose into the sky.

"That's... the training area!" Alicia and Sakura exchanged glances. "Is there really going to be a commotion?"

"Let's go first!" Ying rushed towards the direction of the rising black smoke without pausing for a moment, and Alicia followed closely behind, not forgetting to instruct, "You guys just take the shuttle and follow!"

Although the transport vehicle is much faster than ordinary people, it is still far behind the full-strength burst of a fusion warrior.

"Brother Qianjie, will anything happen to you?" Padofelice was also a little worried. "Brother Yue, let's go quickly. After all, we all came from Huanghun Street."

Although Padofelice and Qianjie had no connection, they were more or less from the same hometown. Now that they were in this unfamiliar place, they were bound to be closer.
