Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

"Just in case." Mei could only utter these four words briefly.

The rest of the people were not too surprised by this.

All matters related to "Honkai Impact" need to be viewed with extreme rationality and caution, so that they can go further on the road to fighting "Honkai Impact".

It is precisely because of her strong research ability and these characteristics that Mei became the leader of the "Fire Moth".

They believe that if the "Fire Moths" want to completely defeat "Honkai", it must be under Mei's leadership.

"So, Mei, even though you've confirmed we're all fine, what are you going to do with the others?" Velvet spoke up at the right moment. "There are so many people in the entire Fire Moth base. Are you going to check them one by one?"

"Yes." Alicia nodded in agreement. "According to that information, if the Tenth Herrscher's power has that kind of effect, I'm afraid if we start investigating and reveal any information, it will arouse their vigilance."

"That's why I prioritized finding you all." Mei glanced around at everyone and spoke calmly, "I'm going to announce that the Fifth Research Institute has made a new breakthrough in its research related to Honkai Disease. This technology will soon be applied to Fusion Warriors, so a routine inspection of the Fusion Warrior unit is necessary."

"Using this method to check whether there is a host among the fusion warriors is indeed a feasible method." Su nodded.

After all, if the Ruler of Domination had truly infiltrated the Fusion Warrior Corps, such a routine inspection would not likely arouse the other party's suspicion.

After all, because the fusion warriors have the genes of Honkai beasts implanted in their bodies, the Honkai energy in their bodies is very strong. Without the use of special instruments, it is difficult for them to detect it during normal routine physical examinations if the other party does not use the Herrscher Core.

Not to mention that there are more than a thousand individuals of the Ruler of Law, and the core's reaction is even smaller.

Therefore, they can use this reason to arrange corresponding equipment for detailed screening during the physical examination to check whether anyone has become the host of the Ruler of Domination.

Now that she had confirmed that everyone in front of her was fine, Mei began to make arrangements for the plan.

First of all, there is Su's Fifth Research Institute. Some of its previous research results can be fully brought out, and then she and Mebius will jointly announce that the results can improve some problems of fusion warriors.

Then during this period, Weiwei was responsible for modifying the equipment, transforming the equipment that could perform precise inspections on the Herrscher's core into a normal style that would not reveal any flaws.

Finally, it was Kevin and Alicia who were responsible for gathering the fusion warrior troops currently staying at the headquarters.

Although Mei also considered whether to call back the garrisons from various places, after some consideration, she decided to stabilize the headquarters first.

Under her arrangement, Su, Mebius, Velvet, Kevin, and Alicia all took action quickly.

Chapter 41: The "Fire-Chasing Moth"

……

In the cafeteria of "Fire Moth", a man was eating the food on his plate mouthful by mouthful with a tired look on his face.

Suddenly, a dinner plate was placed in front of him and he looked up.

"What's wrong? You seem to be always tired lately?" The man sat down and asked curiously.

The man didn't answer. Instead, he took another bite of rice and a sip of water before sighing and saying, "I've been so busy lately that I barely even have time to sleep."

"No way." The visitor's eyes widened, a look of suspicion on his face. "Hasn't your lab been quite busy lately? Hasn't Professor Mobius's institute been working on the 'Stigmata Project'? Logically, if Professor Mobius's research has stopped, shouldn't your lab's docking work be over?"

"Stop talking." The man shook his head. "Recently, Professor Mebius discovered that a technology from the Fifth Research Institute could actually be applied to fusion warriors. So, at Dr. Mei's request, we've been responsible for providing Professor Mebius with various materials over the past few days."

"Has the fusion warrior's technology made another breakthrough?!" Upon hearing this, the visitor's voice inevitably became louder, immediately attracting the attention of other people in the cafeteria.

He immediately gave a wry smile, lowered his voice, and continued to ask his friend, "Isn't this a good thing? The appearance of the Fusion Warriors made it much easier for us to deal with Honkai, and now we've made a major breakthrough. Isn't this even better?"

"What's the point?" The man shook his head dejectedly. "Even though we have fusion warriors, Mu Continent still sank. Technological breakthroughs only help us hold out a little longer. Humanity will eventually be completely destroyed by the collapse."

Listening to the man's words, the visitor didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him: "Everything will be fine. We will definitely be able to defeat the Honkai."

Although he was comforting the other person, to be honest, he didn't really have much confidence, he just simply didn't want to give up.

……

Soon, the news that "the Fifth Research Institute's scientific research results have made a major breakthrough in fusion warrior technology" spread rapidly throughout the "Fire Moth".

When heated discussions sparked within the Fire Moth internal network, Dr. Mei finally came forward to confirm the matter.

After seeing the notice released by Dr. Mei, the depressing atmosphere that permeated the entire "Fire Moth" suddenly dissipated a little.

In any case, the new technology introduced again at this time gave everyone a shot in the arm.

After Mei released this information, Su and Mebius also stood up and said that the research is still ongoing. They are very optimistic about it and believe that this research can play a significant role in countering the collapse.

After seeing the news sent by several people, all members of the "Fire Moth" organization couldn't help but start to look forward to what kind of technology could make these big guys so optimistic about it.

At this time, Kevin and Alicia stood up and said that they would conduct a physical examination on the fusion warriors to add relevant data so that the experiment could continue smoothly.

The fusion warriors had no objection to this. After all, this technology concerned themselves, and they naturally hoped that the technology would be as mature as possible.

Thus, under the organization of Lianhuan, this so-called "physical examination" finally began.

The fusion warriors began to line up and undergo physical examinations one by one.

In order to prevent any accidents, Weiwei had already made preparations.

She disguised the relevant equipment so that the instrument operators could only view normal data.

Regarding the detection of the Herrscher's core, only the receiver she specially made can view the corresponding data.

In front of the instrument, Mei, Velvet, Su, and Mebius quietly observed the relevant data.

As each fusion warrior passed the test and showed no abnormalities, Mei couldn't help but begin to doubt the accuracy of the information.

Is that information deliberately misleading us?

Just when she was beginning to have doubts, the instrument in front of her suddenly changed. A fusion warrior who had just been tested actually showed a weak reaction of the Herrscher core in his body.

Looking at the information marked on the instrument, the four people present couldn't help but look solemn.

"...It seems that the information was not false. The Tenth Ruler has indeed appeared." Su frowned.

"Someone actually knows the information about the Herrscher..." Mobius was also stunned.

She couldn't help but look at Wei Erwei beside her. Could it be that her guess was correct?

Seeing Mobius's look, Velvet smiled and said, "Dr. Mobius, do you think my guess is correct? No, no, no, right now we can only confirm that the Herrscher did appear in this piece of information."

Mebius snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.

Mei continued to stare at the monitor in front of her.

As they watched, more and more people were marked by the instruments.

When the examination was completed, Mei couldn't help but take a deep breath while looking at the numbers on the screen.

Ninety-seven people!

There were only over a thousand fusion warriors left at the headquarters, but during this screening, ninety-seven of them showed Herrscher reactions, which was nearly one-tenth of the total number!

It is conceivable that the situation of the "Fire Moth" has become extremely critical. It has basically become as leaky as a sieve.

If it weren't for that information, by the time the Fire Moth realized the problem under this infiltration, there might have been huge sacrifices.

"It seems that the person who sent that message is not an enemy." Wei Liwei looked at the screen in front of her thoughtfully.

Several other people also nodded.

If they had some doubts about each other before, now they have no doubts at all.

After all, such infiltration has already been completed. If the other party is the Ruler of Domination, there is no need to do this.

Mei has already started thinking about her next plan.

Since even the fusion fighters have been infiltrated so much, what about the ordinary staff at the headquarters?

You know, there are more than a thousand "Rulers of Domination", but they have only discovered ninety-seven of them now.

At this moment, she has temporarily given up the plan of checking the other bases. She must sort out the entire headquarters to ensure that there are no problems in the entire headquarters.

Otherwise, once the headquarters falls, those branches will probably become headless flies in an instant.

With this idea in mind, she immediately began to discuss the specific plan with several people around her.

Chapter 42: To resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the country

After half a day of discussion, they finally came up with a very reasonable plan for the physical examination of all members of the "Fire Moth" headquarters.

Because of the previously announced technology, they will claim that "because the losses of the Fire Moths are getting bigger and bigger in the process of fighting the Honkai, they hope to use this new technology to further expand the size of the Fusion Warrior force while ensuring safety."

This is a good excuse. The scale of fusion warriors is not small, but there are very few who truly possess extremely strong combat power.

However, if the scale of the fusion warriors can be further expanded, even if extremely powerful beings like Kevin and Alicia do not appear, it does not matter. With sufficient numbers, the "Fire Moths" can still organize a very powerful combat force.

Therefore, after confirming that there was no problem with the reason for this plan, Mei immediately made the decision to use this plan.

……

A few days later, after receiving the notice, the headquarters of "Fire Moth" began a physical examination.

Basically, members from all departments of "Fire Moth" participated, with only a few senior executives not attending.

After all, in the eyes of those senior executives, as the saying goes, "the son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall", how could they, as the real controllers of "Fire Moth", take such a risk?

You know, although the research technology of fusion warriors has improved a lot, there are still great risks in their operations.

If it weren't for the appearance of people like Kevin and Alicia, they would never have agreed to carry out this plan.

Although Mei, Mebius and others repeatedly emphasized that this physical examination was only used to screen qualified candidates and no corresponding surgery was required, they still rejected Mei's proposal.

Mei was not surprised by their rejection. In fact, she didn't expect these people to really listen to her.

If the other party was really so obedient, she would have to suspect whether the other party was parasitized by the Ruler of Domination.

Therefore, without paying attention to other senior executives, Mei carried out the corresponding "physical examination" normally and successfully obtained the data he wanted.

……

Everyone gathered in Mei's office.

The atmosphere at this moment was eerily quiet.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the virtual scene projected before them, with extremely solemn expressions on their faces.

Four hundred and twenty-four...a scary number.

Nearly half of the thousand Herrschers are already lurking in the Fire Moth's headquarters.

Some even held high positions. Even Klein, Mebius' closest assistant, became the host of the Thousand Herrscher.

If they are caught off guard, they may suffer unimaginable losses.

Therefore, Mebius's face was also very gloomy, and he was filled with an extremely dangerous aura.

She doesn't care much about other people, but she values her assistant and "understanding person" very much.

Now the other party has become the body of the Thousand Rulers. How can she not be angry?

"Klein, I will help you get rid of this." Mebius thought to himself, gritting his teeth.

She is the genius Mebius, how could she not be able to do this?

She said this to herself in her heart.

At this time, Mei finally spoke, "The situation is more serious than we thought."

Although everyone was thinking about related matters, when Mei spoke, everyone's eyes were still on her.

"Although headquarters has completed the screening, giving us enough time to prepare for the crisis, considering the number 'one thousand', we haven't even reached half of our targets." Mei's gaze remained remarkably calm. "Whether these Herrschers have dispersed elsewhere, or perhaps they haven't found new hosts yet, we still don't know."

"So, what are you going to do, Dr. Mei?" Weiwei adjusted her hat and asked.

"My intention at the moment is to hold back."

No one spoke and continued to listen to Mei's explanation.

Mei continued, "According to the information provided by that mysterious person, there seems to be some kind of quantum entanglement network between the Rulers, which enables them to share information with each other.

"Once we are ready to take action against these locked targets, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of other targets hiding in the dark.

"Moreover, now that these targets have been locked onto, the threat they can pose is much smaller.

"I plan to use the excuse of continuing to promote fusion warrior research to have other branches conduct tests as well."

For Mei, as long as the Herrschers are not hiding in the "Fire Moths", this only human organization against Honkai will be able to continue to maintain its combat effectiveness, which will enable them to pose a threat to the other side in the subsequent response process.

Everyone also understood this logic. After all, although the sinking of Mu Continent caused the loss of one-sixth of the earth's population, the remaining population was also extremely large. It was an impossible task to conduct detailed testing on so many people.
