Hua's eyes grew deeper. At this moment, she suddenly felt that immortality was not as wonderful as most people imagined, especially for those who valued feelings.

Mei went back to rest. After being comforted by Hua, she felt even worse.

Before, when we were in Changkong City, I even thought about how it would be better if Hua and Xia separated.

Compared to Hua's gentle and considerate appearance, I seem more like the vicious second female lead in a TV drama.

Mei went back to her room and reflected.

"Captain Himeko, are you still in Canghai City? Are there still a lot of Honkai beasts and death warriors in Canghai City?"

Xia's formation only almost cleaned up Changkong City, but did not do much to clean up Canghai City. Although Hua did not understand, he still supported Xia's approach. After all, a man with a seven-layered golden wheel of morality behind him could not do anything bad no matter what he did.

Tens of millions of people recognize and are willing to add a touch of color to his moral golden wheel. Even if such a man kills people indiscriminately, it must be the fault of the people he kills.

Hua thought, maybe Xia just wanted the Fifth Squad to practice. After all, there were only two of them, Xia and himself. With their spiritual sense covering them, they could only protect two cities at most. There were so many places and so many people on Earth, and without enough warriors who knew enough about the Honkai Beasts and the Death Soldiers, they would not be able to protect them all.

Clearing out the death squads and collapsed beasts in Changkong City will help relieve the pressure on the Fire Moths, while not clearing out the collapsed beasts and death squads in Canghai City will allow the Fire Moths to have a place to train.

It was not until a few days later that Hua understood the meaning of what Xia did. It was really ridiculous that the gap between people could be so big.

Xia said nothing but did everything. Hua was glad that she met Xia.

"good."

Himeko answered the phone casually, sounding a little tired, and it seemed like she hadn't rested for a long time.

Hua: "Captain Himeko, do you know about the new Emperor-level Honkai Beast phenomenon Honkai energy area near Canghai City?"

Himeko: "That sea? I know about it, but I didn't send anyone to deal with it. I'm already having a hard time dealing with the Honkai beasts and assassins in Canghai City. If you give me another Emperor-level Honkai beast to fight, please spare me."

Himeko pleaded in a tired voice, her voice surprisingly hoarse, as if she had already accepted her fate.

Hua: "No, no, I mean, if you need help, I can temporarily help you kill some high-level Honkai beasts."

For example, the Marshal-level Honkai Beasts, the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts and the like. As for those low-level Honkai Beasts and Death Soldiers, Hua felt that it would be better to follow what Xia did and leave them to the Fire Moths for training.

The Fire Moths are too short of low-level elite warriors. There have been three collapses, and no one can say whether there will be a fourth time and when it will come.

The cultivators have been in seclusion for many years, and the Emperor-level Honkai Beast has already made the Fire-Chasing Moth pay so much attention to it. If a few more Judgment-level Honkai Beasts come, humanity will probably be wiped out.

Hua didn't want to wake up from his retreat to see a desolate land with no one except Xia.

Even losing a friend was hard for Hua to accept. If she lost the whole world, Hua felt that she would definitely go crazy and collapse.

But Hua was overthinking this. After all, she hadn't yet passed the stage of refining her mind in the mortal world. Her body and soul hadn't yet merged perfectly. How could she possibly be in seclusion?

Himeko: "You're here to help me? When? Are you using the same ability you used to kill the Third Herrscher with Xia? That's great."

Hua was a little embarrassed. "...Well, I can only fight Emperor-level Honkai beasts or Commander-level Honkai beasts. If they are too low-level, it's not worth it."

Chapter 130 Xia: Are you in love with me? Do you want to get married?

Himeko: “…”

If it's too low-level, it's not worth it. Himeko's mouth twitched. You can come with the strong Honkai beast, but there is no need to use you with the weak Honkai beast.

Although she knew Hua was not that kind of person, the words Hua said still gave Himeko a sense of déjà vu.

Himeko: "So your ability is to become stronger when facing a stronger opponent."

It seemed that it was difficult for him to fight against groups of dead soldiers before, but suddenly he had the ability to fight against the Herrscher. Then after defeating the Herrscher, he said that he could only fight high-level Honkai beasts.

Himeko wondered if Hua had suddenly acquired this ability.

Hua: "About the same."

Hua said with a guilty conscience that Xia's idea should be to let ordinary people practice their skills so that they can protect themselves when facing a small-scale collapse, without the need for him and himself to run around like crazy.

Moreover, Hua and Xia still need to temper their hearts in the mortal world. Although they can take action within the next two or three years, it will have a great impact on their state of mind. It is best not to take action if possible.

When their bodies are worthy of the soul realm, and their minds are perfect, they will be able to act recklessly. Now Hua can't even control his own strength.

If you hit a small assassin, one punch might blow up the whole street.

Himeko: "Okay, but this is fine. We have some protection. Oh, and Dr. Mebius just sent me a message saying he wants to keep you in the First Research Institute. I think you'll have a lot of opportunities in Team Five, but I still want to tell you."

The First Research Institute, who would be willing to fight with Honkai beasts and death warriors on the front line when they can stay in the institute? If Himeko is given a chance, I believe Himeko will also stay in the institute. After all, her body is already riddled with holes. Xia said before that he would help her clean up the Honkai energy in her body every once in a while, because the cause of the third Honkai outbreak is gone.

"As for me, I still want to join the Fifth Team, because that's what we agreed on before. However, due to health reasons, I have to stay in the First Research Institute for a while."

Hua's face turned even redder as she saw that there were still some small cracks on the surface of her soul origin.

He was supposed to join the Fifth Team and work with Captain Himeko to kill Honkai Beasts and protect the people, but now he is staying in the First Research Institute.

Himeko: "It's okay, get some rest. I knew it would be impossible to defeat a Herrscher without getting hurt. Come with me after you've rested. Don't worry about it. It's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Hua: "Thank you, Captain Himeko."

Himeko: "Hey, it's nothing serious. Okay, I'll hang up now. We'll talk later."

Time flies, and it’s time to have dinner with Kevin and Su.

Because it was Saturday, there were quite a lot of people in the park in front of the mausoleum.

The Fire Moth is a super large organization with branches and warriors all over the world. No matter whether they are middle-level or senior-level, they do not want their families to be in cities where collapse may occur at any time, so they all moved to the Fire Moth headquarters.

At first, it was just the families of a few founders, then the families of senior executives, and later the families of middle-level executives. Now, anyone who works at the headquarters can bring their family here, and middle-level leaders outside can also own a house at the Fire Moth headquarters, which is enough for a family of five to live a normal life.

The Fire Moth's headquarters has changed from a purely working organization to the entire small city it is today, with parks and shopping malls. Many soldiers are stationed here for a long time, and the content of Honkai energy in the air is also the lowest. The Fire Moth spends an unknown amount of money every year to reduce the concentration of Honkai energy in this city.

The money spent will naturally produce results, but the results are not good and it has not been promoted elsewhere.

There are a lot of people in the park, basically mothers with their children or a band of young people carrying guitars and some other musical instruments, and there are also elderly people strolling here.

It has been more than 20 years since the first Honkai outbreak. At the beginning, when this organization was not yet called the Fire Moth, there were not many people. After the establishment of the Fire Moth, due to the lack of initial funds, many young people over 35 years old who were optimized and graduated from large companies were recruited.

Until now, the Fire Moth has become the most indispensable organization in the world.

Many young people over the age of 35 have reached the age of retirement from their jobs, so there are quite a few young people and elderly people in the Fire Moth Headquarters.

Kevin brought barbecue, Xia brought pre-made barbecue, and Su brought some wine. The three of them had decided to have fun outside all day and sleep in the park at night, waiting to be woken up by the sanitation workers early the next morning.

However, after the three of them gathered together, they discovered something was wrong.

Su: “…So, you only brought barbecue and pre-made grilled dishes and meat?”

Kevin: "Yeah, is there any problem? Do you want to buy some snacks?"

Xia: "...I suddenly realized we seemed to have forgotten something."

Xia touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Su's words immediately broke Kevin's doubts and Xia's calmness, "Where's the barbecue stall? Where's the barbecue plate?"

There is no barbecue stall, so what's the point of just bringing those skewers? And there is no barbecue plate, so how can we eat the barbecue? Should we eat it raw?

Only Su was steady. He brought beer, red wine, white wine, and even a bottle opener. Su held his forehead with one hand. He didn't expect Xia and Kevin to be so outrageous.

Xia took out the skewers. He was not at all nervous. He stretched out his left hand, and a flame rose from it. "I only brought the skewers because I don't need a grill at all. I can set fire."

Kevin: "Wait, then we can grill the meat directly."

Xia: "How are you going to barbecue without a barbecue pan?"

For barbecue, you can just make a heating and fire array plate and bring it over, but for grilling meat slices, you at least need something to put it on.

In fact, Xia didn't think of the barbecue grill at first. He actually forgot to bring it, but he can make up for it. However, Kevin can't make up for it.

Kevin was speechless.

Xia Da waved his hand and said, "Alas, I really can't do anything with you. Just leave it to me."

Fortunately, he knew some formation techniques, otherwise the three of them would have to go to a restaurant.

It's embarrassing just to hear about bringing barbecued meat and grilled dishes to a restaurant.

Originally, the food I brought was enough to last a day, but unexpectedly, Kevin suddenly became more and more talkative as we chatted. We drank a little wine and enjoyed the food more and more, and finished all the food we brought in noon.

Two bottles of red wine and a bottle of white wine also went into the stomachs of the three of them. They sobered up by the lake and watched the old men fishing. Xia looked very comfortable. Occasionally, he could chat with the old men about the international situation, which made the old men very happy and they treated Xia as a confidant.

“There are very few young people who can talk to us about these things and whose thoughts coincide with ours.”

In front of these old men in their forties and fifties, Xia, who is 38 years old in his mental age, is also a young man, but he can still start a conversation.

After I was almost sober, I started strolling around the park while drinking beer.

As they walked, Su suddenly hid behind Xia and Kevin and didn't even stick his head out. After a long while, he came out from behind Xia and Kevin and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You saw your girlfriend? Not really. I've never heard you're henpecked."

Kevin made a cheerful joke, and Su's face darkened. "My advisor, the head of the Fifth Science and Technology Department, told me I had to write a paper on Saturday, but I actually had already finished it."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Kevin laughed out loud after hearing that, but he didn't say what he was laughing at. Su almost made his face red. Then he became serious for a second, coughed twice and pretended nothing happened.

It's not like Su has an attack, but it's also heartbreaking if he doesn't.

"That's you. If it were someone else, I think Su would definitely give him a heartbreaking kick."

Xia teased with a smile.

Kevin raised his head and said, "That's right, what do you think the relationship between me and Su is?"

Su: "Take my kick first before we talk about our relationship!"

While saying this, Su just stepped hard on Kevin's foot, like a little girl who was angry with her boyfriend.

A box of beer was finished in one afternoon. Although Su didn't drink much, Kevin's alcohol tolerance has indeed improved. Before, when he was at his house, he would drink and fall asleep directly, but now he can even walk while drinking after mixing it with other drinks.

So it’s really amazing, people all grow, they just grow a little faster.

It has only been a few days since the collapse of Changkong City, and Kevin has grown from an ordinary two-armed middle school student to the point where he can still chat with himself normally after drinking so much alcohol.

With nothing to eat at night, the three little ones could only go to a fast food restaurant to eat hamburgers. Although this picnic was different from what they had originally expected, they could still be considered happy.

Kevin, with his white hair and eyes full of "wisdom", actually wanted to make a bet with Xia on the number of hamburgers he could eat. Xia just tidied up her hair and readily agreed.

During the game where Su was the referee, they ate from around five to around six, and only stopped and dispersed when Su said he wanted to go back.

In the First Research Institute, it was already vacation time, but Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were still working in the institute for some unknown reason. Xia burped and went over.

Mei: "Ah~, has Axia already eaten out? Hua said they're making beef stew tonight. If you eat out, you won't be able to eat much."

Xia rubbed his stomach, sat down next to Cang Xuan, lowered his head and said to Mei: "That idiot Kevin insisted on betting with me for 500 Mu Yuan to see who could eat more hamburgers. That bastard is such a beast, he ate 87 of them."

Mei frowned, "You lost 500 Mu Yuan?"

Xia took out a five-hundred-Muyuan note from his pocket and said, "I ate eighty-nine of them, haha."

Cang Xuan Dan Zhu: "..."

By the way, before you say others are being outrageous, you should also consider whether you are being outrageous yourself.

Eighty-nine hamburgers. Even if Cang Xuandan Zhu ate small steamed buns, he felt that he could not finish eighty-nine, let alone hamburgers.

Xia put five hundred Mu Yuan on the table and pushed it to Mei, "Please help me pay for Hua later. Save it for buying groceries tomorrow. I'm so full."

If Xia hadn't gotten into overdrive while eating, he still wouldn't have been able to finish more than Kevin. Xia digested all those burgers extremely quickly. He had to go to the bathroom several times during the bet, but it was Su who saw to it that he didn't vomit, so it didn't count as a failure.

Su was greatly shocked and even began to doubt his life. Kevin's stomach seemed to be in a sub-dimensional dimension and disappeared as soon as he ate. Xia was like a standard digestive machine and had to poop right after eating. Su felt that he would be embarrassed to stay in their group of three if he didn't have something to do.

Xia: "You're supposed to be on vacation, but why are you still working? Did Dr. Mobius change his mind?"

Mei shrugged. "There's nothing to do at the Fire Moth, and I don't have any friends outside. I went shopping with Cang Xuan Dan Zhu and the others this morning, and when I came back in the afternoon, I suddenly realized that apart from work, I had nothing else to do, so I just did some physics experiments for fun."

Cang Xuan: "I was a little bored after playing all day, so I saw Mei doing an experiment and decided to help her out."

Dan Zhu: "Well, Cang Xuan and Mei are both working. If I slack off, wouldn't it be unsociable? Anyway, I just do some casual work and use the equipment at the institute during my breaks. I guess this is another form of slacking off."

They would secretly rest while working and secretly work while resting. Xia thought Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were really interesting.

Mei does research because she likes it. This is her hobby and job. She gets so engrossed in research that she naturally thinks it is better to stay in the lab than to go out and play.

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were simply used to working overtime. Suddenly, they came to the First Research Institute, where the rest time was longer than the working time. After resting for a long time, they always felt something was wrong.

"How are Su and Kevin? Are they getting used to being in Fire Moth?"

Mei asked without turning her head while disassembling the machine. After all, they all came from the same school, and she was the one who rescued them personally. It would feel inappropriate not to ask.

"They're still the same as before, but I feel like they've grown a lot, only their personalities haven't changed much. Su works at the Fifth Science and Technology Department, and his mentors are all ministers of the Fifth Science and Technology Department. It's not exactly a sudden rise to fame, but it's pretty close. He's the last disciple and the future successor of the Fifth Science and Technology Department."

Xia thought for a moment, "Kevin has already been booked by Hen from the First Squad. Although he doesn't have any backing, I feel that with his abilities, he has a high chance of becoming a mid-level or senior member of the Fire Moth Chaser. He has a bright future."
