I'm not Yingjie

"Then I'll pass this genius idea on to you." The man stood up and saluted Delta solemnly, "As long as you let me enjoy it after you build it."

"Get out of here! Who wants to make this thing for you? I'm planning to go to the front line, so you might as well find a way to make it yourself." Delta closed the computer and glared at the man unhappily.

"To the front line? But your Honkai adaptability isn't..."

"It's terrible, isn't it? I'm so annoyed. How come everyone takes this as the standard?" Delta knocked on the lid of his laptop impatiently. He said angrily, "How can I hide in this tortoise shell and wait for news from the front line? How can I sit still like this?"

Those soldiers are truly fighting for humanity. How can he hide here and be afraid of death?

Fighting side by side, even if he died in battle, he felt that his life was worth it.

"Anyone who wants to go to the R&D department can go. I won't be a coward."

"..."

The man stroked his chin and stared at Delta, who looked disdainful.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, I just think it's a pity." The man smiled regretfully, "You could have helped more soldiers survive, but you chose the dumbest method."

"What do you mean?" Delta looked at him suspiciously.

The man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Delta, you should stay in the R&D department."

"..."

"..."

"...You too?" Delta's eyes were dark and sharp. He stared at the man who smiled all day and said word by word, "Do you also think I am afraid of fighting?"

"How could that be? In fact, you should be a better fighter than me." The man touched the back of his head, "But the place where you fight should not be a battlefield. You can't display your talents there."

"I really envy you for having such a high talent in research and development. Soldiers cannot fight without spears, and cannot protect themselves without armor. The so-called war is actually the war of weapon makers, and you are the one who makes spears and armor, so you are the one who can really fight."

"I really do... yearn for the clouds you step on."

Delta sat silently beside the man, looking at the genuine yearning in his eyes.

Delta didn't expect him to think this way. Obviously, she also envied him for having enough Honkai energy to adapt.

These two people should exchange their lives.

"...From what you said, it seems like there's nothing wrong with being in the R&D department."

"Haha, right?"

"After all, if you come to get the equipment in the future, I can still make a lot of money from you."

"Wow, let me go. Since we have been friends for many years, at least give me some special treatment once in a while."

The two sat side by side on the deck of the Fire Moth, talking about the future without the collapse, the future that they were striving for.

Suddenly, the man looked up and pulled Delta's clothes happily.

"Hey! Look!"

Delta looked up.

A loud bird song crossed the sky.

Chapter 76: Sight

"The anti-gravity suspension system is complete. We are assembling the system for the Titan and the floating gun. All we need to do next is adjust the corresponding parameters before we can launch an attack."

This is indeed great news. Even Lin did not expect to hear the news of the completion of the most critical Titan research and development at this critical juncture.

"Hahahaha, my hard work day and night is not without reward." Delta said the most proud words in a weak tone, "This flying device installed on the Titan is named the Delta flying device. What do you think? After the Titan is repaired, we can immediately start the development of the airship. Maybe in the future we can realize the idea of ​​an air base."

This is a completely epoch-making innovative technology. With the completion of the anti-gravity suspension system, many previously limited technologies can be expanded and extended.

In the face of collapse, humanity has made remarkable progress, and this is at least worth being thankful for.

"When you come back, you can... huh?"

Delta stopped talking in confusion. Lin frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No... After I reported to the higher-ups that the Titan was completed, they responded by asking me to immediately transport the Titan to your mission location for the first actual combat..." Delta finished reading the message hesitantly, "Mission? What mission?"

"I am now heading to the coast of Mu Continent, where a high-level Honkai beast may have appeared."

"Oh! So that's how it is. Well, just wait there, and I'll send Titan over right away."

"...Isn't Titan completely finished yet?"

"It doesn't matter. The rest is just parameter adjustment. The time for transportation and some time after arrival will be enough. It will only take about ten hours."

"it is good."

The other party hung up the call first, apparently wanting to use this time to make some adjustments.

[Lin, do we need to keep the last system settings in actual combat? ]

Prometheus is also part of the driving team of Titan. After the first version of Titan was improved, in order to achieve a leap-forward improvement in driving status, the self-model Titan has a neural connection. The load of a single person connected to Titan is so heavy that it can kill people, so AI assistance becomes particularly important.

Lin can control Titan to perform some incredible movements, which can be regarded as relying on Prometheus to reduce some of his burden.

"Keep."

【learn】

"Captain, the communication just now was..." Hua couldn't help but ask after Lin was silent again.

Lin recalled the last drive and said, "...Titan is finished and on the way."

"Really? That's great." Hua nodded happily.

"Titan? It can significantly increase our combat power." Imer thought more about it. "But Captain, we have no experience in cooperating with Titans in combat. How should we allocate the combat formation?"

Not to mention that Lin is likely to fly in the sky with a Titan relying on a flying device. The size and firepower of the Titan alone are not something that ordinary soldiers can cooperate with. Fighting beside it would make Lin feel restricted.

"This is just an experimental launch of Titan. Titan will not be deployed in every battle." Lin Ziran has also considered this. He said calmly, "For this mission, you will cooperate with the third team to carry out the reconnaissance mission."

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin entered the communication.

"This is Kevin, the captain of the first team." Kevin's serious voice was completely different from his usual cheerful voice. "I received an additional communication. Next, the first team will cooperate with the captain of the seventh team to launch the Titan."

Lin nodded slightly: "Understood."

Letting the first squad cooperate... is that equivalent to letting the first squad guard and scout the enemy, and then having the Titans carry out annihilation strikes?

This was a bit unnecessary for Lin, but Lin always strictly followed orders, and Kevin would never let Lin down.

Then Lin called Hen, the captain of the third team.

"This is Lin, the captain of Team 7."

"This is Hen, the captain of the third team. I have received the message. I need to deploy personnel, right?"

Hen and Lin seldom interact with each other. They both have similar ways of dealing with things, with Hen being more dedicated to the mission. However, Hen is not like Lin who has almost no contact with other people outside of the mission. Hen is just more serious.

According to gossip, Hen's wife, Blanca, who left the Mobius Laboratory, gave birth to a child recently. Unexpectedly, this man did not spend much time with her after the child was born and came to carry out the mission without any complaints.

"Yes."

"Okay, we will replace the personnel after arriving at the designated location."

Everything was arranged properly. It was a bit unexpected that the purpose of this operation was transformed into a combat exercise of Titan halfway through, but the completion of Titan undoubtedly made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. The improvement in combat power was a great help to this mission, and no one would feel bad about it.

Only, one person.

Lin frowned in his helmet. His attention was not on Titan. Instead, he was staring at the typhoon distribution map, observing the wind field formation and distribution on it.

This time, the Honkai energy reaction was a slow increase, rather than a sudden outbreak of a large-scale Honkai, and the level of the Honkai energy coefficient was only around the limit of the emperor-level Honkai beast, so the Fire Moth speculated that this was just a medium-to-large-scale Honkai that gave birth to a higher-level Honkai beast.

If it is really just a medium to large-scale collapse, then these people are indeed enough. After all, a large-scale collapse has not occurred for a year, and it may break out at any time, so people need to be reserved for preparation.

But Lin always felt that there was some key point in this mission that had not been discovered.

Can a hurricane that can cover an entire city for a month really be created by a Honkai beast?

Furthermore, if it was a higher-level Honkai beast, then why were there no reports of sightings?

Lin's hand subconsciously placed on the holster of the pistol.

……

"call------"

The violent hurricane, with its heavy rain, is eroding the human world.

The visibility was reduced to less than ten meters. The severity of the environment this time was comparable to that of Changkong City during the third collapse.

"Although I've read the mission briefing, I'm still a little shocked after seeing it in person." Kevin and his team walked to Lin's side. He said with a serious expression, "This is already a major disaster. Even if it doesn't collapse, it has caused unimaginable damage to human society."

"..."

Kevin was right. Human towns would soon be reduced to ruins under the ravages of a hurricane of this wind speed level. There was no need for a collapse at all.

"Now, let's start the investigation, Lin."

Lin did not reply. He turned his gaze away from the city shrouded by the wind field and looked at the sea in the distance, where the hurricane was driving and beating terrifying waves.

Just now, he had an illusion.

There seemed to be a sight coming from that direction.

Chapter 1: Hunter's Wind

"This is...a painting?"

Among the items dropped by the monster, there was a picture frame of a completely different style. Thinking that this might be the item of another Yingjie, Mei squatted down and picked it up.

Then she was startled by the crazy lines in the center frame.

The overall color scheme of this painting is extremely depressing and dark, and the twisted and mixed lines are like the painter pouring ink all over the canvas with resentment, full of negative emotions that make people feel cold in the heart.

It is not artistic obscurity, but pure catharsis painting.

Mei looked carefully before she could see the contents of the painting: "Is this... a person hanging upside down?"

Amidst those horrifying colors, there was a man whose hands and feet were bound by chains, hanging upside down under the dim light. He stood motionless, allowing the chains that deprived him of his freedom to hang him upside down, and glaring red blood flowed from the wounds on his hands and feet.

There was no glimmer of hope, and in the cracks of madness, the light only served to illustrate the miserable condition of the prisoner.

After watching for a while longer, Mei actually saw a pair of hands stretched out from the darkness with wild lines, with their five fingers stretched out in hunger and hatred towards the person in the middle...

"Snapped."

Mei turned the painting over with an unhappy look on her face.

Can't watch it anymore.

She only stared at it for a moment before she felt an indescribable emotion rush to her head.

Whose painting is this, or who’s memory is this painting from?

……

"Act according to the plan. Team 3 and Team 7 will be responsible for evacuating the remaining residents and conducting investigations. Team 1 and Lin will be responsible for keeping watch. If they spot a high-ranking Honkai beast, they must report immediately."

Under the influence of the hurricane, the rainstorm was as severe as that in the third collapse of Changkong City. The cyclone was able to roll up unstable trees and houses, making it impossible for people to walk in them.

But having learned from their last lesson, the Fire Moths have this time fully prepared equipment to deal with the harsh environment. Cutting-edge technologies such as small grippers and improved communications have been equipped to this combat team. Although the combat will still be restricted, it is a huge improvement compared to the last time when they could hardly move and had limited vision and hearing.

Kevin's team has a total of seven people, eight including Lin. This number is enough to deal with lower-level Honkai beasts and can also deal with higher-level Honkai beasts, so Lin skipped those areas with little threat and decided to prioritize the investigation of areas with high Honkai energy concentration.

"Kevin, orders." Lin walked to Kevin in the heavy rain.

Kevin was confused: "Order?"

"..."

Reminded by Lin's shiny visual window, Kevin realized that he was the commander now. This role had always been played by Lin and others before. This was the first time he was asked to assign tasks.

He frowned, and Lin and the other team members waited quietly.
