The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Jackal, that guy has broken through to the fifth underground floor! Didn't the Lord say that if he puts her on the top floor, she will go out directly!"

"You ask me how I know! I have already contacted the Lord. The problem now is to stop her here. If she destroys the entire base, it will be over!"

Five fingers tightly clasped the mask on his face. A screen as big as a wall in front of him was lined with images from hundreds of cameras, but only a very small number could capture that figure. In most of the images, only The soldiers collapsed on the ground and the mechas were scrapped and dismembered.

"They all fainted? No bleeding?"

Jackal stared at the screen and confirmed it carefully, and the original idea gradually became firmer in his mind.

"Seal all passages from the fifth underground floor to the thirty-third underground floor, immediately! All soldiers from the thirty-third underground floor will evacuate, leaving only the mechas for defense."

"Are you crazy? Are you going to let the soldiers on the 20th floor wait for death?"

"No."

In fact, it doesn't matter to Jackal whether he is dead or not, but he really can't say this.

Jackal shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the screen.

"Look, she doesn't seem to be able to kill. All soldiers who encounter her will faint immediately. On the contrary, the mecha requires her to do it herself. According to records, what she holds should be the key to consciousness, which is not surprising. ”

"Even if you say so, those soldiers may not have just fainted...maybe they are brain-dead..."

"Then can you give me a better way? You see, she has already broken through to the seventh floor, so the blockade of the passage has been delayed to the thirty-fifth underground floor. This is all caused by your delay. Don't forget, we I’m on the thirty-eighth floor.”

Jackal patted the adjutant on the shoulder and looked at the cold sweat rolling down the man's head. For a moment, he felt that the previous tension had been relieved - after all, this scene was really funny.

"I don't know what happened to the Lord. Although the Key of the Second God was taken away, the Lord already possessed the power of the Second Herrscher and could reach the battlefield directly. He was held back by those guys in Paradise. But the Lord must have his own considerations."

The lips under the mask were pursed tightly, and only when she saw that the adjutant finally came out of her self-blaming mood and began to execute her orders, did she reveal a strange smile.

"After the soldiers are evacuated, the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh underground floors will be constructed. I will modify the passages there to..."

…………

"Bang!"

The heavy door slowly closed three steps away from "Hua". With her speed, she had enough time to rush in before the door closed completely, but...it was completely unnecessary.

Her ears are very good, how could she not hear the roar of the motor that echoed throughout the base?

"Have you closed all the cabin doors? Well, all the signboards have also been closed. Do you want to trap me here? I remember that Mei also did this kind of thing during the seventh collapse. It seems like A very common base defense method, the premise is...that little girl named Jackal is a bit cold-blooded. "

"Hua" waved his hand, but he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.

No, she wasn't disgusted by this approach, and she couldn't think of any reason why she should be.

Perhaps her perception was wrong. The source of that unhappiness was not disgust, but irritability.

"Really, why do I always feel like this group of people treat me like a rookie. This method couldn't trap the Seventh Herrscher in the first place, and now it's targeting me like this. Am I weaker than the Seventh Herrscher?"

He kicked the air twice with his right foot in displeasure. "Hua" turned his head and looked at the broken mecha and the fainted soldier. He sighed softly and scratched his head again.

"Okay, the destructive power is indeed a bit worse, but I have more brains than a Herrscher! Besides, I don't need to destroy the entire base like him."

"Hua" kicked the soldier at his feet, leaned down and pulled the sleeping body up, and slapped his forehead hard with his palm, leaving a red mark unsurprisingly.

"Sigh... the structure of the base, isn't this what happened? I'm really smart after all."

Throwing the soldier aside casually, "Hua" took two steps forward to the door, raised his foot and kicked it. The armored door, which was fully one meter thick, may not perform better than a piece of paper under the huge force.

"Hey, hey, hey! Can you hear me? I'm coming! Let your Lord come out to pick up the guests!"

Following the memory read from the soldier's mind, "Hua" walked quickly through the dark base passage.

There was nothing that could stop her. The soldiers blocking the way didn't need to take action at all. Anything with "consciousness" had no chance of defeating her. As for those unconscious mechas, she actually felt her own power covering them. The range is so large that it is completely possible to follow the signal and directly attack the operator of the mecha. However, this kind of thing... looks like a large toy that children dream of, but it is a bit fragile and can be broken easily.

The armored door was even more vulnerable, but it did pose the biggest obstacle to "Hua" - because there were so many of them, she became increasingly irritable and scratched her hair several times, thinking about how to simply Just forget it...so much time is wasted.

However... I still can't swallow this breath.

So, let’s keep moving forward.

"Boom, boom boom boom——"

"Boom boom boom boom——"

"boom--"

He smashed the armored door in front of him countless times, and "Hua" even yawned out of boredom before slowly walking into the increasingly dark cabin.

The humidity in the air is gradually increasing, while the temperature is exactly the opposite. The dehumidifier and air conditioner have stopped operating along with the lights. "Hua" scratched his hair and only touched a handful of wet hair. Twist, and you can even feel tiny ice shards.

"Really...how long do you have to hide? Hey, hey, hey! Lord of the World Snake, I'm here to find you! What are you hiding for? Don't you dare to see people? So many of your subordinates have been defeated by me! If you don't come out again, I’m going to be the polished commander!”

The exaggerated and sharp tones echoed repeatedly in the darkness. The deeper they walked into the base, the louder the echoing sounds became.

"Why is this man so shy!"

"Hua" roared again, but the passage in front of her only faithfully echoed her own words.

"Tsk!"

There seemed to be something wrong, but her mind seemed unable to calm down and think for a while. She looked back at the armored door that she had previously damaged, but could only see a pinpoint-sized spot of light.

"Eh?"

I remembered something was wrong.

Why...even after walking so far, there were no more obstacles from armored doors, soldiers, or mechas? And why is there no turning point for such a long distance? This doesn't seem to match the memory in that soldier's mind...

"Haha...hahaha!"

After realizing something was wrong, "Hua"'s first reaction was not panic, but long-lost happiness.

"This is interesting. Hey! Stop being pretentious and show me how you plan to defeat me. That guy named Jackal is talking about you!"

It is very easy to find a camera with a flashing red dot in the dark.

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of electric current sounded in the darkness in front of her. She thought that the man named Jackal was finally going to speak, so she stood there and waited casually.

What she was waiting for was the sound of the armored doors falling one after another behind her.

"Huh? What does this mean?"

With a casual punch back, the armor shattered easily, but the door did not crack like before.

Taking a closer look with the extremely weak light, it seemed that there were countless armored doors pieced together. She had penetrated three of them with one blow, but there were more, more, more.

"Well……"

"Hey, hey, hey! Why can't you stop? Aren't you good at hitting? Why don't you keep fighting?"

"Ah! Your voice is a bit too mean!"

"Hua" covered her ears and stomped hard on the floor under her feet. Such childish behavior was undoubtedly abrupt and childish for a fifty-thousand-year-old old man, but it was enough for the jackal hiding behind the camera to notice her. The restlessness that has nowhere to rest.

But so what?

"Let me remind you. Now, behind you, under your feet, on your left and right sides, I have piled up countless armors. Even the thinnest part is fifty meters thick. As for the top of your head... here is the connection Passage, the top of your head is equivalent to the earth's crust of the thirty-fifth floor cabin. If you are brave, you can give it a try. Of course, if nothing else happens, you are like a turtle in a jar now. I know the gap. Where?"

There was a slight tapping sound coming from the speakers.

"Here, I have an extra brain than you."

"cut!"

"Hua" snorted a string of white air from his nose.

"What kind of human are you, and you have two brains?"

As soon as the words came out, a strange feeling of emptiness came over my heart, and then my whole body became uncontrollably hot.

A person must have only one brain, so when Jackal says he has one more brain than him, doesn't that mean...

"Wait! What do you mean, I have no brain?"

"You only understand now?"

"Ahhhhh——"

He kicked the floor again angrily. "Hua" suddenly turned around, jumped back with his feet staggered, and stepped on the armored wall behind him. His knees were slightly bent, and the whole person was ejected, but there were many more people on the wall. There were two deep footprints.

"哐——"

The body penetrated the space like an arrow, leaving depressions like intestinal folds on the upper, lower, left, and right walls.

"I really can't open the fifty-meter armor now, but I can hit you!"

But everyone can only move forward, right?

"boom!"

Pulling the head out of the wall is indeed quite a laborious task. "Hua" originally wanted to curse, but mechanical and heavy footsteps could be heard around him.

"Ouch!"

In total darkness, mechas equipped with night vision modules obviously have an advantage over human eyes that cannot receive light sources.

Even for "Hua", she could only see the hazy outline of the mecha and the reflection of the camera's red dot on the armor.

But still the same sentence.

"Oh...why do you do this again and again? It seems like you really think I'm weak!"

After knocking on his still aching head, "Hua" raised his middle finger to the camera, and then his figure suddenly disappeared under the capture of all cameras.

"boom!"

"Wuhu!"

Accompanied by exaggerated cheers, a heavy mecha at the head directly pierced the ceiling... leaving only two thick legs that needed two people to hug each other, struggling mechanically in mid-air.

The power of thought filled the entire passage like sea water, so that even if "Hua" closed her eyes tightly, she could see everything around her clearly.

No, it should be said that it is more clear than simply "seeing".

"Shua——"

Before the mecha operator could react to the attack coming from underneath him, "Hua" put his hands on the ground and stood almost upside down. The Honkai Impact was concentrated on his two calves, and then a dazzling purple light was drawn in the ink, which was just right. It reflected the remains of the mecha that was divided into two parts and hadn't even had time to hit the ground.

"Boom——"

The upper body of the mecha landed almost at the same time as "Hua", and even the sounds they made were completely overlapped.

As if taking this as a signal, the gunfire suddenly rang out, and the bullets came like the most violent storm in the summer afternoon. However, "Hua" didn't even bother to move. With just a thought, she became a small island in the river. , the fluttering bullets passed around her under the guidance of water-like telekinesis.

So her step forward turned into a "walk in the rain" for a while.

"Huh?"

Of course, it is impossible for the mecha troops to turn a blind eye to this situation, and the warriors controlling the mechas will naturally not waste their time thinking about the cause of this strange phenomenon.

From the fluctuations in telekinesis, "Hua" clearly sensed that a total of three mechas equipped with artillery were rushing towards her.

Obviously, since long-distance shooting is difficult to achieve, and a bloated mecha may not be able to defeat a nimble woman in close combat, a compromise method is adopted - firing cannons close to the face. It doesn't seem like anything surprising.

"You seem to be a little too confident compared to your contempt for me."

"Hua" didn't show the slightest bit of vigilance. The same posture can be interpreted as three different thoughts: "she was stunned", "didn't notice at all" and "she did it on purpose". However, no matter what the mecha's controller said, Whichever one comes to mind, it's too late in terms of space and time.

The muzzle of the mecha rushing at the front was already close to the front of "Hua"...

His left hand pressed against the gun barrel, and his whip-like right leg cut off the left leg of the mecha. Then his right hand grabbed the ammunition supply belt on its back and yanked it backwards - all the above actions were carried out with almost no limit. The extremely simple action of "pulling the trigger" is completed within the time required.

"boom!"

The shell that was supposed to hit "Hua" flew in the opposite direction and shot into the mecha group.

The explosion did not produce many brilliant flames, and due to the caliber issue, the impact was extremely limited, but it was enough to cause a lot of trouble for mechas in remote control mode.

But "Hua"'s counterattack has just begun.

At the same time as the explosion sounded, she pulled out a shell from the semi-open ammunition feeder, blocked the space on the ammunition feeder with her other hand, banged the fuse of the shell against the hard armor, and then Stuffed it back into the ammunition feeder.

"Thank you for the armor-piercing grenades!"

Her words were completely covered up by the explosion, because before she triumphantly declared the winner, she kicked the mecha in front of her and the two following behind her back into the mecha group.

But she still ignored one thing——

"Cough cough cough!"

The black smoke produced by the explosion was swaying in this blocked passage. If I hadn't pursed my lips and held my breath at the critical moment, would I have choked to death on my own masterpiece?

However, for the existence of half-human and half-Honkaimon, it will not die even if it doesn't breathe.

"Hua"'s eyes turned blood red without her being fully aware of it. This blood red color rushed in along with her figure, drawing a thin red line across the scale of the entire space. This red line was used as the The benchmarks, whether they are standing, lying down, prone, still usable or worn out mechas are all fairly cut off.

"In the end, that's all I have."

"Hua" used her hands as cattail fans, fanned her cheeks, and dispersed the black smoke, and raised her middle finger again in the direction of the camera.

"Don't be too happy too early."

There was a hint of casualness in Jackal's tone. Just as "Hua" was about to respond, he suddenly felt unreasonable heat again.

Hotness is not difficult to understand. High-intensity exercise and psychological irritability may cause this phenomenon, but "she" gradually realized that there was a third possibility - the surrounding temperature was already rising.

"Well, although you can deal with those mechas much faster than I expected, you can't get out of this passage. The temperature will rise rapidly in the next five minutes to the point where it can drain the body of water and burn fat. extent. So, goodbye.”

The calm and casual tone made it seem as if she never took the other party's threat to heart from the beginning.

"ha?"

For "Hua", this is indeed an infuriating and puzzling thing.

She has clearly shown her strength time and time again, but why does the woman behind the speaker always believe that "I have the advantage"?

She was a little confused for a moment, whether the other party had some means that she didn't know, or whether the other party really misjudged the situation because of arrogance.

The surrounding air has changed from hot to scalding, and the dew and sweat on the skin have quickly evaporated, leaving traces of burns on the spot.

"Hua" needs to leave here in five minutes. This is the information revealed by the woman named Jackal.

It is undeniable that when "Hua" discovered that the way forward was also blocked by the same thick multi-layer armor plate, panic occupied her entire brain for a moment.

Fortunately, she woke up very quickly. Telekinesis not only filled the visible space, but also eroded outward from the microscopic level. She couldn't open the fifty-meter thick armor, but the armor of the entire passage was temporarily pieced together after the original cabin structure. There would always be so-called weak points. Under the illumination of telekinesis, as long as she wanted, it would be easy to find the weak points.

And obviously, she had found it.

Walking leisurely to an ordinary position, "Hua" suddenly raised her foot and stepped on it with all her strength.

"Boom!"

Once was not enough.

"Boom!"

Twice.

"Boom!"

The floor collapsed, and "Hua" landed steadily in the command room hall on the 38th floor underground. The burns on her body were quickly repaired under the action of the Garuda factor, and hot white steam came out, but this did not hinder her sight.

Although they had never met before, she recognized the jackal from the crowd at the first time. After all, the other party's mask was really ostentatious.

It looked like the Jackal was completely frightened, the corners of his mouth under the mask fell to the sides, and he couldn't help but step back.

Looking at such an opponent, "Hua" felt bored for a while.

"Hey. I'm coming."

Her tone was the same as the Jackal's before, full of casualness. The battle along the way was indeed hard to be considered dangerous, but there was also a sense of boredom and revenge.

"Forget it, it's better for a small minion like you to leave early. Hurry up and call your Lord out to talk to me."

"You..."

"Hey! NPCs must have NPC awareness. If you just stand here and don't move, I can only help you!"

"Hua" slowly raised his hand.

It was just a gesture of raising his hand. In the blink of an eye, the palm passed the position of the temple. As long as it took another one-third of a second, the arm would be perpendicular to the ground and then raised to the highest point.

She clearly saw cold sweat sliding down the edge of the woman's mask, but even so, the other party didn't seem to intend to do what she said.

This time, she became the one who was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

"Forget it, human blood may look disgusting, but it's not..."

"Snap!"

Just when she made up her mind, a warm hand grasped her wrist, neither loose nor tight. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was relieved to be stopped or annoyed to be interrupted.

The only truth was that the familiar voice sounded in her ears:

"Have you had enough fun?"

"Hua" turned around, and the man's face was so familiar that almost the moment she saw him, she felt that something was filled in her heart, and even her heartbeat was affected.

But.

She couldn't remember his name.

Wandering in her memory, she didn't find any changes.

The place that was originally empty still only had the existence of "nothing". The words and patterns that were originally written in the memory were only left with the blank space left by the tape being stuck and torn.
