Ai Yue's expression was also subtle, but it was obviously because he realized what this meant. "You will soon be able to realize your wish of dissecting a living Herrscher."

Mebius was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "You mean?"

"Yes, there is more bad news."

Ai Yue looked at the countless drones taking off to intercept the airstrike, with no expression on his face. "There will be more than one Herrscher in this Great Collapse."

"boom!"

After the violent explosion, Dr. Mei, wearing armor, stood up from the command room that had become ruins. Next to him was Vivi, who had four pairs of arthropod-like robotic arms extending from her back.

"Wow, that guy really hit the nail on the head,"

Weiwei used her robotic arm to push aside the wreckage and pulled out a filter mask, putting it on her face. "Are they really planning to kill you? At this time? Are they planning to disguise this as a Honkai beast?"

"Obviously, this wouldn't be the behavior of those people above. Even if they really wanted to kill me, they wouldn't use such... crude methods."

Dr. Mei thought of an adjective to describe the situation before him. "Besides, if it was the plan of those big shots, Ai Yue would not have reminded me so subtly."

"If it's not a human, then who is it, a Honkai beast?"

Weiwei said jokingly, but her expression gradually became serious, "Hey, hey, isn't it possible... there are still Herrschers?"

"I don't want this to happen, but it seems that it is very likely."

Dr. Mei was cleaning up the mess before him when he suddenly paused. "I found it. There's a man dressed as a scholar who looks suspicious, but where did he get such a lethal weapon... No, that's not right. Is this power? But it's a little strange..."

"What, what? Let me see it too!"

Wei Erwei came closer, but found that Dr. Mei didn't have any electronic device that could display the image. She couldn't help but look at the armor on him, "Damn, is this the function of this armor again? I want it too!"

She secretly regretted it in her heart. It was said that Ai Yue had actually prepared a set of such armor for herself, but she had already become a fusion warrior at that time, so the armor was finally given to someone else.

If I had known I would miss out on such a cool big guy, I would not have become a fusion warrior.

Damn, if I make it myself it will be too bulky. How come that guy’s miniaturization technology is so amazing!

"I asked Dr. Ai Yue to help add an auxiliary office module to the armor,"

Dr. Mei pressed a switch on his helmet, and the image was projected through the projection device between his eyebrows. "Okay, now you can see it too."

It was a video clip captured from a surveillance camera. In it, a nervous man in a white coat tried to appear calm as he walked outside the command room. Then, without anyone noticing—

He raised his hand, formed a large fireball, and pushed it towards the command room.

Chapter 63: There is more than one traitor among us.

Dr. Mei and Wei Liwei had already experienced what happened next.

Fortunately, thanks to Ai Yue's reminder, there were only two of them in the entire command room. Otherwise, in such an explosion just now, who knows how many people would be injured or even sacrificed.

But even so, the rooms near the command room were affected by the chain reaction of the explosion. Fortunately, a rescue team on standby quickly arrived to rescue the wounded, and no one has died so far.

However, Dr. Mei did not relax because the culprit was still at large, and in the current chaotic situation, there was probably no other way to catch him in a short time except relying on Prometheus.

More importantly - who is this person who attacked them?

Judging from the other party's behavior, Dr. Mei's first reaction was that he was a Herrscher. After all, a guy with a human appearance who could create fireballs bigger than a washbasin with his bare hands could not be a normal human being.

But this posed a problem. Based on the current situation of the Herrscher, the opponent had no need to be so sneaky. They could just charge in and be done with it. When Kevin and the other fusion warriors were not present, no one could stop a Herrscher.

But if it’s not the Herrscher, then who could it be?

"So it really is an internal conflict, right?"

Velvet used her robotic arm to pack up the things in the command room that could still be used. "For example, that person is actually a fusion warrior, just like Sakura was before, and was used to deal with you."

Velvet's statement is actually very convincing. It can not only explain the other party's special ability that is beyond human common sense, but also explain why the other party is so much weaker than the Herrscher, because the fusion warrior is indeed like this.

It was not until the second round of the Fusion Warrior Plan was implemented and the number of Fusion Warrior samples increased that people realized that becoming a Fusion Warrior did not guarantee the ability to gain power comparable to that of a Herrscher. Although many people gained unique powers after becoming Fusion Warriors, these powers were not strong enough for an individual to turn the tide of battle.

After all, powerful people are still a minority.

"You've also performed Fusion Warrior surgery. Do you think that scholar looks like a Fusion Warrior?"

Dr. Mei repeatedly replayed the footage from the surveillance camera, observing the instigator. "Although the Fusion Warrior surgery is no longer life-threatening, it still requires sufficient awareness to activate its power. I don't see any awareness in him."

The second-generation fusion warrior surgery is the latest version made by Ai Yue after studying the power of the Eighth Herrscher. It requires a person's mental fluctuations to reach a certain peak before it can be completely integrated with the Honkai Beast gene, thereby activating its full potential.

On the one hand, this design guarantees a 100% success rate. Even if the mental fluctuations do not meet the requirements, the power of the Honkai Beast gene will still be hidden in the human body. On the other hand, violent mental fluctuations can also allow the Honkai Beast gene to merge more smoothly.

Therefore, even though the second generation of fusion warriors may be lacking in strength, their will and spirit are definitely up to par.

"How do you explain this?"

Velvet turned around and asked, "There can't really be such a weak Herrscher, right?"

"I don't know, but the most urgent thing is to confirm the other party's identity and location."

Dr. Mei couldn't find a clue either, so he could only shake his head. "If the other party is hostile to humans, with this ability, he can cause a lot of disasters and chaos, which is too dangerous for the current situation."

"Rose, how's it going over there?"

Weiwei also began to ask Prometheus, "Have you found out the other party's identity?"

"The suspect's identity has been identified and the specific information has been sent to you."

Prometheus said, "It's hard for me to spare the energy to specifically track down this person right now, but I've already entrusted the task to a more suitable person. I'm sure there will be results soon."

"Give it to someone else?"

Wei Liwei and Dr. Mei looked at each other and asked, "Who else is more suitable than you?"

Compared to Weiwei's doubts, Dr. Mei was more concerned about another thing - Prometheus was now running at full power. In this state, theoretically there would be no place on the entire Internet that she could not reach, but even so, she still encountered a problem that required all her energy to deal with?

But before she could even ask the question, a voice suddenly interrupted the armor's communication channel: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

"magnificent?"

Dr. Mei quickly identified the speaker's identity and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "Are you in Mu Continent now? How is Ai Yue doing?"

"Dr. Ai Yue asked me to help you,"

Hua said briefly, then moved on to the key question, "Just now, Prometheus asked me to track a suspicious target. I've already captured him. He possesses a very strange fire ability, but I can't find any corresponding information about him in the Fusion Warrior sequence... Ah!"

"what happened?"

Hearing Hua's exclamation, Dr. Mei immediately asked, "Did he escape?"

"No, he committed suicide. The fire that suddenly surged out of his body directly cut off his life."

Hua regained his composure, but with a hint of frustration in his tone, "I'm sorry, it was a moment of negligence on my part."

Obviously, if such a strange person could be captured alive, more useful information would undoubtedly be obtained.

"It doesn't matter. It's good enough that you can catch him."

Dr. Mei didn't comment much on the result, but just nodded. "Anyway, please send him to me first. I've sent you the address."

After ending the communication, Dr. Mei frowned again.

The other party actually chose such a tragic method to commit suicide, and he did not look like a person with weak will, but his performance in the surveillance camera was hesitant and timid. Obviously, these two situations are contradictory.

It was as if this decision was not made by his own will, but by someone else.

Thinking of this, Dr. Mei couldn't help but feel moved. She vaguely felt that she had obtained some key information, but she couldn't find a clear thread for a while.

Just when she was trying to reorganize her thoughts, new news came.

"Mei, is there something wrong over there?"

Kevin sent back a message from the front lines, his tone filled with unconcealed confusion and anger: "Why are there missiles locked onto us? If Desdobia hadn't detonated the missiles just now, many of us would have died!"

Dr. Mei's eyes suddenly widened.

Chapter 64: Think about what Ai Yue would do.

"Were you attacked too?"

Upon hearing that Kevin had also encountered problems, Dr. Mei frowned immediately: "What exactly is going on? The command center is temporarily paralyzed, but the instructions from the front are very clear. The firepower coverage of ordinary troops cannot cover the position of your fusion warriors!"

"also?"

Kevin was quick to notice something and suddenly became even more anxious. "Mei, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm protected by armor, you know."

Dr. Mei calmed Kevin down for a moment, then focused on the real business. "Can you spare some time over there? If so, please explain in detail. We might be facing the same problem."

"Nothing's happening for now. A group of drones suddenly arrived just now. They said it was a 'swarm' commanded by Quinn. They are taking over our task of intercepting the Honkai beasts, so we are resting now."

Hearing that Dr. Mei was safe and sound, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief. "But the specific situation is still unclear. Alicia has already taken people to the missile launch site to inquire about the situation. There should be results soon... Oh, she's back."

With the last sentence, Kevin fell silent for a while. Dr. Mei waited patiently for a while, and then he heard Alicia's voice: "Dr. Mei, are you okay? I heard from Kevin that you were attacked too?"

"Yeah, but it's not a big problem. It's been solved... probably."

Dr. Mei responded and then asked, "What's the situation at the missile launch site?"

"It was an order from one of the frontline commanders. I checked and all other positions are fine."

Alicia responded, her usual smile gone. "What's strange is that his soldiers don't even remember what they just did. It's like..."

"It's like the commander controls them somehow, isn't it?"

Dr. Mei took over the topic, "What is the current situation of this commander?"

"Well, he committed suicide."

Alicia said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was taking good care of him! But he suddenly screamed, and then blood gushed out of all seven orifices, and then he died. I didn't expect that."

"I understand. Please find someone to bring the body back."

Dr. Mei nodded, obviously realizing the similarities between the two attacks. "By the way, there may be more attacks in the future. You should be more careful."

"It seems like a very troublesome matter."

Alicia sighed, "Mei, have you asked Ai Yue? He might know more."

"I just contacted him, but there was no response. I don't know what he is doing."

Dr. Mei shook his head slightly. "No matter what, we can't just push everything onto Ai Yue to handle. Let's do what we can first."

"It's just right that support has arrived, so we can relax a little."

Alicia offered her own suggestion, "How about sending some of our men back to help you? If the attackers possess special abilities, then obviously Fusion Warriors would be better at handling such situations, right?"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Dr. Mei also agreed with Alicia's suggestion. After all, based on the analysis of the two current suspects, it was very likely that all those who would launch the attack possessed special abilities. The presence of a fusion warrior could at least mitigate a significant portion of the losses. "Please allow me to speak to Kevin again."

After giving Kevin some more instructions, Dr. Mei disconnected the communication and began to issue warnings to the management system of the entire Atla City.

Before what happened to Kevin, the nature of the attack could not be determined, but after realizing that this was not an isolated case and that the other party's target was not just Dr. Mei personally, the possible targets of the attack spread to the entire city of Atla.

Because of this, Dr. Mei must warn others, so that he can prevent possible attacks in advance and deter other suspicious people hiding in the dark, thereby hindering or delaying their actions.

Once the crisis on the front battlefield is completely resolved, they will be able to free up their hands to target these villains hiding in the crowd.

Of course, the initiators of the attacks are probably well aware of this matter, so such a warning may have the opposite effect, but in any case, it is definitely right to let everyone be vigilant, otherwise who knows how many people will die.

After finishing the work at hand, Hua appeared in Dr. Mei's sight. He was carrying a huge bag on his shoulder. It was obvious what was inside.

"Just put it here?"

Hua followed Dr. Mei's instructions and placed the bag on a temporarily cleared area. He then looked at the other party and said, "Dr. Mei, I heard your warning just now. Is it possible for such an attack to happen again?"

"Yes, it is not yet certain whether these attackers have accomplices, but from a rational point of view, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Dr. Mei nodded, knelt on one knee, and began to deal with the charred remains in the bag. "Wei Weiwei, come and help... Hua, what does Ai Yue want from you?"

"He asked me to stay and help you."

Hua responded, "Is there anything I can do?"

"I need you to go to Shelter Two."

Dr. Mei shared a map with Hua. "That's a refuge specially prepared for the scholars of Atla City. Most of the top scholars in the entire Mu Continent are gathered there. If I were the attacker, I would definitely not miss this opportunity."

"I understand."
