The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

Rolling down the window slightly, the raging wind in the wilderness suddenly poured in from the narrow gap, and the long fiery red hair instantly jumped like flames.

How long does it take to get from the headquarters located in the interior of Eurasia to the American branch on the other side of the world?

If you take the Fire Chaser battleship, it will take about fifteen to eighteen hours.

If you take a fast combat airship, it will take about ten to twelve hours.

If it is launched by the Second God's Key, it doesn't even take a second.

However, the above three modes of transportation are not possible for Himihu.

Whether it is the Fire Chaser battleship or the fast combat airship, they are all equipped with intelligent computers, and no one can guarantee that they have not been corrupted by the Twelfth Herrscher.

To be on the safe side, these smart and semi-smart weapons, including the weapon systems and power systems on the drone armor, have been completely dismantled.

Therefore, Himihu rushed to the Americas from the headquarters. She took Velvet's temporarily modified propeller plane. She set off from the airport outside the headquarters and successively carried out supplies at several military strongholds in Europe and North Africa. She set off at dusk on the first day until We arrived at the American branch in the early morning of the third day.

At this time, she was sitting in the jeep heading to the third village, using the blurred morning light and the bright light in the back seat of the car to read an article written by the Karabis brothers and sisters of the third brigade about the situation of human settlements in the American Division in recent days. Report.

Most areas in the American Division have fallen into a wave of strikes. The number of military and police officers is simply not enough to suppress such a large population. The collective rebellious behavior of the municipal officials in the American Division has, on the one hand, brought all local departments to a standstill. , on the other hand, it has also confused the middle-level and grassroots bureaucrats and the wealthy class.

Then, a magical thing happened. Not knowing what to do, a small number of military and police officers joined the striking people, but most of them still obeyed the call of other officials from the upper district and city hall and withdrew with heavy equipment and weapons. They invaded the upper areas of every human-inhabited city and used force to repel the masses who tried to attack the upper areas.

As a result, all the lower areas were completely out of control, and people no longer had to work. They smashed machines, burned factories, and looted all the food, clothing, etc. stored in warehouses.

There is also a small amount of military supplies stored in the warehouse, but they are basically light weapons, and for a population of more than one billion, they are only better than nothing.

Ironically, there are more materials that are semi-finished products that can be assembled using machines and turned into weapons or other production machines. However, most of the factories and machines have been destroyed and cannot be used in a short period of time.

The rioting crowd also discovered a huge warehouse full of strange supplies. They were packaged in green high-strength plastic unique to combat supplies. After opening, each box contained ten glass bottles, and the bottles were almost transparent. liquid.

These "glass bottles" could not be broken or burned, and no one dared to drink the liquid inside. In the end, everyone chose to dump all of these soul steels, which were worth approximately one ton of gold before the collapse, into the sea.

But the chaos was not over yet. People found that even if they raided all the warehouses in the lower area, they still could not meet their survival needs. The heavily guarded upper area could not break into it at all, and most people did not dare to go outside the protective net. world, so in order to survive, there is only one possibility left -

People began to liquidate themselves. They arrested the former foremans, hung their entire family on lampposts, and then looted all their belongings.

But even so, the supplies each person received were still a drop in the bucket compared to their needs.

As a result, the scope of the liquidation attack began to expand. As long as someone was reported to have spoken to these foremen in a "polite" manner, after a simple identification, they were all hung on the street lamp pole. Such a crude and simple method was of course impossible. There is no way to pay attention to evidence, and there is no morality to talk about in order to survive.

At night, the street lights cast a dim light, and corpses with their clothes stripped off one after another drifted in the night wind. In the dim light, they looked like curtains flying wantonly on someone's balcony.

The American branch was completely out of control. More than a billion people went their own way and killed each other. Only one in ten thousand people who actually listened to Royger's call gathered in the third village.

After all, people are the product of selfishness. Everyone knows the truth about saving the world. What Royger said is indeed very inflammatory, but people's priority is to fill their stomachs first, otherwise they will end up in the third village. No strength at all.

Besides, the words of Royger and others are also suspicious, especially the fact that the entire American branch of the city officials collectively "rebelled". Didn't all the city officials commit any illegal behavior?

Although there is no conclusive evidence, as long as you calm down and think about it, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that "these people may be raking in the trouble." Therefore, it is understandable that most people choose to adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

However, considering the total population of more than one billion, the so-called "one in ten thousand" means that the number of people gathered in the third village has exceeded one hundred thousand!

Most of them are young and middle-aged people who have no worries. They are relatively healthy and enthusiastic, but they are also easily deceived. Moreover, most of their family members have been lost in the Honkai Impact in the past twelve years. Regarding Honkai Impact, In other words, there is a natural hatred for the "fire chaser moth, the originator of the collapse" that Royger slandered.

What's even more worrying is that most of the military and police who chose to join the rioting people also gathered here. Their choice can already be seen from the fact that they did not choose to withdraw into the upper area like most people.

They were well-trained, carried complete weapons and equipment, and even brought dozens of armored vehicles.

It happened that the third village was located on the edge of a canyon in the eastern mountains of North America. When Himihu rushed to the third village in the rising sun, the rapid response team affiliated with the North American branch was already at the entrance of the canyon with the military police. The armored vehicles were brought in and the confrontation lasted all night.

In the canyon behind these armored vehicles and on the hillsides on both sides, the people who had been called in had set up tents one after another, and you could tell at a glance what they were dotted all over.

"Captain Himihu, you are finally here."

As soon as Himihu opened the car door, Karabis couldn't wait to greet him.

"Calabis, it doesn't have to be like this. I didn't bring any reinforcements."

Even though he was mentally prepared for this, Karabis's face still fell.

"The fusion warrior..."

"They're not going to get involved in this, no, exactly, they can't get involved in this."

"What about...the weapons license?"

Himihu stopped talking and just shook his head, and the last hope in Karabis's eyes was extinguished.

Logically speaking, members of the heavily armed rapid response brigade should not be too relaxed if they want to break through the defense line composed of dozens of armored vehicles.

Even when a large number of heavy weapons and aerial firepower are unavailable, the exoskeleton armor and weapons they are equipped with specifically designed to target Honkai Beasts under ten meters are enough to support them in easily breaking through the weak defense line on the opposite side.

But the order given by May was:

1. Exoskeleton armor is not allowed.

2. You are not allowed to carry any firearm with a barrel length exceeding 18cm, and each person cannot be equipped with more than two magazines.

3. No explosive weapons are allowed.

4. Unless the opponent uses thermal weapons first, active fire is not allowed.

5. Once a firefight occurs, it is not allowed to suppress it by force. It should be fully restrained, preserve the organization after fighting back in self-defense, and withdraw to the headquarters base.

Since the information transmission channel was blocked by the Twelfth Herrscher, this order was delivered by Sakura on her behalf.

But after conveying the order, Sakura disappeared with all the fusion warriors, leaving only one spiritually aware fusion warrior behind - understandably, the other fusion warriors were okay, Sakura's pair of long foxes The ears are particularly conspicuous. Even before the riots, the characteristics of the fusion warriors would arouse the disgust of the ordinary people, even if they were saved by the fusion warriors a second ago, let alone now?

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, it is better not to involve the fusion warriors in this matter.

The reason why there is one spiritually aware fusion warrior left is because they can be used as the "base station" of the spiritual communication network to communicate between the current sight headquarters and the American branch, which cannot be used by traditional communication methods.

But it was unclear whether it was intentional or not. The fusion warrior Sakura left him was the product of a mass production plan and had almost no ability to fight head-on.

Also due to insufficient capacity development, as the base station of the spiritual communication network, it can only transmit some extremely simple messages. In addition to the advantage of "wireless", the information transmission efficiency is not as good as the old-fashioned telegraph.

Therefore, when he first received the news that Himihu had arrived in the Americas, he thought Mei had brought some new orders or greater autonomy. But now it seems that the mission of their rapid response team is still nothing more than monitoring the scene. Condition.

But what role can such surveillance play when communications are poor?

Although he respected Mei very much in his heart, at this moment, Karabis couldn't help but doubt——

Faced with such a situation, was Mei also in a state of chaos?

Himihu looked at his face, and it was not difficult to guess what he was thinking, so he took the initiative to explain:

“Currently, if violent measures are adopted, it will only deepen the gap between the Fire Moths and the ordinary people. People who had doubts about the accusations made by Royger will not hesitate to join them.

"On the contrary, if we only show weakness, it will not be difficult to trigger these people's thinking——

"If the Fire Chaser Moth is really as Royger said, its purpose is to enslave all mankind, then as an organization with thousands of fusion warriors and control of absolute force around the world, we can completely force Suppress all riots.

"But we didn't do this. Rational people should be able to understand our position. This will not cause their so-called resistance to collapse on the spot, but at least it can control the speed of their growth..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three full buses coming from the wasteland not far away. It could be seen without Karabis' introduction that these were people preparing to defect to the "Resistance Army".

Karabis's face was a little dark, and he glanced at Himihu carefully, but the latter's expression did not change much.

So, Calabis waved his hand, and the messenger on the hill in the distance waved the flag - there was no way, he didn't dare to use radio communication, so he had to use such a primitive method.

The soldiers of the Third Brigade seemed to be used to this, and they did not stop them and decisively chose to let the three buses pass.

The "resistance forces" in the canyon are no strangers to this set of procedures. The two sides seem to have developed a tacit understanding. They were clearly in a tense confrontation just now, but now they have generously moved away the defense line composed of armored vehicles, allowing The three buses drove in and quickly closed the defense line.

"Is this how you've been handling it these past two days?"

Himihu asked.

"Um."

There is no need to hide this kind of thing. If Himihu really intends to pursue this matter, Calabis will not have nothing to say——

Even according to the five instructions issued by Mei, the soldiers of the third brigade could not intercept it!

It would be better if these people could be persuaded to return. But now that they are here, they are probably determined to "do it or die". Faced with the obstruction, if they choose to directly step on the accelerator, and because they did not use thermal weapons, the soldiers could not open it. If the gun fires back, how can you stop it?

Besides, if a soldier fires a gun without enough time to dodge, it will be a complete mess.

Rather than forcefully stopping these people, it is better to let them in, which can also reduce friction and reduce the chance of a misfire.

Of course, he didn’t do this out of complete helplessness:

“I think if we insist on stopping these people, they will easily cause conflicts, so we might as well let them in. It may not be a bad thing for us.

"Although Royger claims that with the help of 'a friend', he has stockpiled a large amount of food and weapons here. Well, let them gather people, and we will seal all the exits of the canyon. People can come in, but supplies can’t. I want to see how many days they have enough food.”

Himihu's eyes blinked, and then he chuckled.

"Is this your own idea, or is it what your sister said?"

"Hey! Captain Himiko! Don't look down on me!"

Karabis coughed twice in embarrassment. In his early years, because of Vasak, he was promoted to the captain of the fourth team when his experience was still immature. Many things had to be handled with the help of his more precocious sister. , including standing on May's side in the subsequent turmoil, Karabia's reminder was indispensable.

But after all, so many years have passed. Apart from being physically unsuitable for super-transformation surgery and regretting not being able to become a fusion warrior, his position did not shrink with the expansion and reorganization of Fire Chaser. Instead, he took over after Hen took charge of the moon work. defense of the Americas Division.

As we all know, May has always treated the original Fire Moth warriors differently from the bureaucrats who merged from the coalition government.

Those bureaucrats were really "negative assets" that the Fire Moth had to take over. They had their own system, and they didn't have the energy or resources to govern them. Therefore, the attitude towards them was once "laissez-faire." ”, as long as it doesn’t affect Fire Chasing Moth’s war preparations.

As for the Fire Chasing Moth, since Mei took over not too late, both Famas and Vasak were not bad at enforcing internal discipline when they took power, so the personnel in the original Fire Chasing Moth system were promoted. It's quite strict.

Therefore, the fact that Karabis can achieve this position at least means that Mei thinks that he has this ability. Of course Himihu cannot fail to know, she is just teasing him in good faith.

Moreover, Karabis's policy coincided with Mei's intention, which saved her from having to explain.

"Okay, it's almost time. Take me to see the situation on the front line."

Karabis understood that Himihu was a humanoid reconnaissance plane, and that was correct. The headquarters also needed to ensure that they understood the situation here.

"But...Captain Himiko, why are you here? Uh...I'm not saying that Captain Himiko you are not qualified enough. I was thinking...why not send Su or Destobia? They can quickly respond to the situation on the scene. Headquarters, you can also use the Second God Key to come and go.”

Himihu lowered his voice and replied as he walked:

"The situation at the headquarters is somewhat special... Dr. Mebius is in confinement."

"what happened?"

Himihu glanced at him, and it was right. They would not pay attention to the TV station's boring interview program without notification from the headquarters.

"Dr. Mebius and Vassago were invited to participate in an interview show. An accident occurred during the show. Everyone present was corroded by Honkai energy and turned into dead soldiers. They were then killed by Dr. Mebius. This caused some misunderstandings, so that the current internal stability of the Fire Chaser Moth is not stable. Mei's opinion is to temporarily suspend all anti-entropy actions, at least on the surface.

"Furthermore, among the several powerful spiritual perception fusion warriors in the headquarters, Aponya needs to soothe the emotions of everyone in the headquarters at all times. Su has become the hub of the spiritual communication network and cannot leave. Destobia's ability is Powerful telekinesis, but not good at conscious communication. As for the other spiritual perception fusion warriors, they are no different from the one Sakura left for you."

"That's it..."

"However, Mei also asked me to pass on a few words to you."

"Please say!"

Even while walking, Karabis still straightened his back.

"Well, I originally wanted to tell you that if you meet those who come to join the 'resistance', you can just let them go without stopping them. If there is really a shortage of food inside, you might as well use combat supplies to support them."

"Tsk, what a strategy to attack the heart."

"However, you must also be vigilant. It is impossible for Royger to not think of this. You must be careful of him jumping over the wall in a hurry."

The two of them had arrived at the mouth of the canyon as they spoke. The Third Brigade did not carry heavy equipment. Because it had to confront the armored vehicles in the canyon, it had to build some temporary defenses, leaving only one lane for those who defected to the rebels to join.

"Captain Himihu, long time no see!"

Karabia put down the telescope and greeted Himihu with a smile. It was windy in the canyon, so she tied her hair into a bun. Seeing Himihu's long hair flying, she quickly handed him a rubber band.

But before the two could exchange greetings, there was a sudden noise in the canyon.

"Let us out!"

"Don't stop me!"

"Let me go!"

Not knowing what happened, a dozen people got out of the gap in the armored vehicle and ran towards the formula of the third brigade.

The Karabis brothers still wanted to raise their heads to watch, but Himihu quickly held them down. The next second, the remote-controlled machine gun on the armored vehicle fired into the sky. The dozen or so people who ran out suddenly froze in place, and Shin was not , retreating is not an option either.

Himihufu took a rough look in front of the fortifications. The dozen or so people who ran out were almost all old people. They raised their hands, faced the third brigade's fortifications, and kept praying:

"We are good people who were brought here! Save us!"

Himihu and the brother and sister looked at each other, and there was no doubt that it existed. Karabis waved his hand, and the soldiers in front of the fortification immediately raised their pistols and pointed them at the armored vehicles. Although this had no effect on the remote-controlled machine guns, the armored vehicles were also within the effective range of the pistols. But that's all they can do for a while.

Then, Karabia took over a loudspeaker, organized her language slightly, and shouted into the canyon:

"Brothers inside, we are all human beings, there is no need to be so heartless, right? They are all a bunch of old men and old ladies, can you bear it?

"Just running away with a dozen people who can't fight is not a big loss to you, right? You fired shots into the sky, which shows that you don't want to kill them.

"Why don't you give them to us, and we will be responsible for placing them properly. If you accept, you can raise the muzzle of the machine gun, okay?"

Karabia didn't express hope, she just used it to express her attitude, but she didn't expect that the muzzles of those remote-controlled machine guns were actually raised one after another.

She was overjoyed and quickly raised her horn to wave to the crowd caught in the middle.

At first, those people were still a little hesitant. They didn't even dare to turn around and look at the scene behind them. But when they found that they were walking slowly without shooting behind them, their steps became faster and faster, heading towards Himihu and the Karabis brothers. The fortifications where they were located rushed over.

"Wait, why did they..."

Why are they all rushing here in unison?

This group of people quickly ran to a distance of about ten meters in front of the fortifications. From this distance, it was difficult not to see their excited faces and their slightly bloated figures in the summer.

"not good!"

As soon as Karabis stood up, Himihu kicked him into the ditch beside him. Karabija reacted faster. She immediately drew her gun and pointed it at those people, but Himihu grabbed her and tried to drag her too. Into the trench.

But it was too late. In just a second or two, these people had already rushed in front of Himihu and Karabia.

"boom!"

A series of explosions raised huge clouds of dust. When Karabis emerged from the trench while coughing, he only saw two mutilated and groaning bodies.

His vision suddenly turned red, with unstoppable dizziness. There was a sudden pain in my heart, and then everything in the world...human beings, Honkai Impact, the Fire Chaser Moth, myself...all these things were no longer important.

"damn it……"

"Fire!"
