Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

Hua was lucky; after jumping out of the car, she found herself in an empty alley. The taxi had also crashed into a wall, blocking the alley's exit.

Hua stayed hidden next to the trash can for two hours, unable to figure out what had happened or if she had accidentally wandered into a movie set.

But she wasn't sure if she was sure, and couldn't muster the courage to go out.

Hua thought she could just wait quietly for rescue, and in fact, she was really lucky when it came to surviving. She heard gunfire and explosions outside.

Overjoyed, Hua rushed out to seek help from the army, only to be discovered by the rushing Honkai Beasts in the sky...

The Honkai Beast darted into the alley.

Hua ran back behind the trash can, her eyes blurry with tears, trembling. "This is so strange! I've been hiding for two hours already, how come I was discovered as soon as I came out? How long were you watching from the sky?"

As the Honkai Beast slowly approached, Hua felt that her life was about to end. Under the Honkai Beast's oppressive aura, she dared not move.

But as the solar streetlights came on, the rushing-class Honkai Beasts began to slowly move away, and a shadow appeared beside Hua.

Hua didn't dare to turn around to see if the person behind her was a human or a zombie, and kept her head down in silence.

But the sound that followed made her so nervous that the taut thread of courage collapsed.

"It's all over now, there's no need to be afraid anymore. If you ask why, the answer is that I'm here."

The charge of the Rush-class Honkai Beast collided with a sword beam that slashed out from behind Hua. The Rush-class Honkai Beast's body was torn in two like a piece of paper and fell to the ground.

Hua turned her head away with teary eyes, feeling her bad luck come to an abrupt end.

"Hello, my name is Lin Yu, and I am a student."

Listening to the gentle tone of the young man who called himself Lin Yu, looking at his smiling outstretched hand, and seeing that his white robe had been stained red with blood from the fighting, and that one of his eyes was covered in blood.

He was weakly bent over, sheathing his sword. He wiped the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth as he said, "He's a student," and reached for himself with his other hand.

He stood under the solar streetlight, the glaring light unable to obscure the impression of his smile as he bowed his head in Hua's eyes.

Hua caught Lin Yu's hand, but almost fell because her legs were numb from squatting in one place for a long time and then being frightened.

Lin Yu helped her up. "I don't know if this is the first time you've seen me, but I've already seen you four times yesterday."

"Could you tell me where you bought your sword and ancient costume?"

After being rescued by a hero, Hua's mind went blank, and she blurted out the following words.

Chapter 26 According to seniority, you should call me Senior Sister

Lin Yu: "...So that's what you said as the first thing after you were rescued?"

Where did you buy the sword? It's from my family back home. Lin Yu liked practicing swordsmanship back then, and after telling his parents, the sword was shipped from Europe in less than a week.

I couldn't lift it when I was little, and I never lifted it again when I grew up, until yesterday.

"My name is Hua, I'm also a student, and I'm here on vacation."

Hua's face flushed bright red instantly. "Thank you, thank you so much."

Lin Yu helped Hua up, saying, "I've heard there's a saying in China: 'A drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water.' I have no way to repay the life-saving grace, so I'm willing to offer myself in gratitude."

Lin Yu twirled his sword and slung it over his back. "Of course, I'm not doing this out of a sense of obligation."

Hua: "Um......."

"Just kidding, relax and don't be nervous. This sword was a gift from my parents when I was little. As for the clothes, I bought them online. You have a cell phone, right? I'll print out the online store for you."

Hua blushed and took out her phone. Lin Yu typed the name of the online store for her. "Actually, I think you would look great in ancient costumes too, and you would look even better with your hair down."

Lin Yu returned the phone to Hua and patted Hua's head as if petting a small, beloved animal. "Hide here. Someone will be looking for you soon. I'm leaving."

Lin Yu turned to leave.

Hua: "Can I come with you? Um, I'm a little scared."

Lin Yu thought for a moment, "That's fine. I'll send you to the warriors who are clearing out the zombies and Honkai Beasts."

Hearing Lin Yu's answer, Hua quickly caught up with him, "Is it the end of the world now? Are there many people who have become these suicide soldiers?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "No, it's just the end of humanity. Currently, Changkong City and Canghai City have definitely been swept away by this collapse, but other places should be fine."

Hua: "Are you an ancient swordsman, the kind who traveled back in time to save the world?"

Lin Yu: "Um, I'm a student."

As I just mentioned, I'm a student who came here for tourism.

"What student could possibly cut that monster in half with a single sword strike?"

Hua's heart was pounding; she felt she might have fallen in love at first sight.

But if Lin Yu knew, he would definitely tell her, "You're overthinking it. You're just having your heart race because you're scared by the Honkai Beasts."

"Athletes can."

Kevin definitely can.

Lin Yu trusted his brothers very much.

"I am a sports student."

Hua tugged at Lin Yu's sleeve, walking behind him without daring to stray far. Watching Lin Yu recklessly slaughter the approaching assassins, a strange sense of security welled up from the bottom of her heart.

It was as if no danger would approach him if he were behind him.

“People are different. I have a good brother who can take down the Honkai Beast I just killed with a baseball bat. He’s a sports student. You can’t do it, but that’s just because you haven’t reached that level yet. In the future, when you encounter Honkai Beasts like those, you only need to beckon with your finger. If they don’t explode on the spot, it’s just because you’re in a good mood.”

When you become the Crimson Iris Immortal and face the Rising-class Honkai Beasts, they'll be instantly killed by your Void Sword Qi with just a glance.

However, the Honkai Beasts are really big. The Assault-class Honkai Beasts are three to five meters long, while the smaller Chariot-class ones are over ten meters long, and the larger ones are twenty or thirty meters long. It's truly astonishing.

However, considering Chi You in the story, it's easier to understand the size of these Honkai Beasts. A Judgment-level Chi You can easily devour an entire city.

"Um, thank you anyway for saving me."

Lin Yu finally led Hua to the street where the gunshots had been heard. Ahead of them was a scene of hordes of assassins charging toward a steel-forged defensive line.

The soldiers, armed with special guns and weapons, slaughtered without flinching.

Walking through this alley leads to the first battlefield for soldiers and martyrs.

Honkai Beasts were being bombarded by fighter jets in the sky, and a tank-class Honkai Beast was being hunted by dozens of women in armor, just like a boss fight in a game.

Lin Yu was pulled by Hua's clothes. He looked up at the sky and saw a woman with long red hair, dressed in casual clothes, squinting at the battlefield from a second-floor balcony on the street, with a chocolate in her mouth.

She had no weapon in her hand, and was so close to the battlefield and the Honkai Beasts, yet she showed no fear. Her fingers tapped lightly on the balcony railing, looking down on the Honkai Beasts on the battlefield, as if she were admiring the scenery on a calm beach.

The red-haired woman admiring the battlefield scenery was also a beautiful sight in Lin Yu's eyes at this moment.

"Jiko..."

Seemingly sensing Lin Yu's gaze, "Himeko" turned her head with a puzzled expression and looked down at Lin Yu, dressed in ancient costume, who was not far away in the depths of the alley, and the flower behind him.

Himeko flipped off the balcony and landed silently. With her nimble tongue, she rolled the chocolate bar and ate it. Wearing military boots, Himeko walked step by step under the streetlights.

"Young man, the weapon you have won't be able to protect the girl next to you."

On this battlefield, instead of hiding, they took their swords and walked towards the street where gunfire was heard, bringing their girlfriends through the alleys to get here. They're really lucky.

Lin Yu pushed the flower forward, "So it's your turn to protect her from now on."

Hua frantically tried to get back behind Lin Yu, but had no reason to go back. Like a hamster that had just been abandoned, she looked pitiful and lost.

himeko: "Young man, what's your name? Interested in joining my team to save the world?"

"Lin Yu".

himeko smiled, hands in his pockets, "No wonder you have the air of an old friend. So you're the son of an old friend. How old are you this year?"

"Do you know my parents?"

My parents were just ordinary physicists, at most occasionally doing some shady things for a little extra income. Himeko... ah, in the previous civilization, it should be Himeko.

How did himeko meet his parents?

"That's no ordinary relationship. According to the seniority system in Shenzhou, you should call me senior sister."

himeko walked towards Lin Yu and Hua. "Come on, let's sit down at my place. We can talk about your parents later."

Lin Yu pointed at Hua, "Although I really want to go with you, I have more important things to do. Her name is Hua, and she's a genius. I think she'd be a good fit for your squad in the Fire Moth."

"There are zombies and Honkai Beasts everywhere now. The weapons you have are not enough for you to do the more important things. Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you take care of it."

himeko pulled out a 30-centimeter weapon resembling a stun gun from his waist, pressed a button, and the stun gun instantly extended to a length of three meters—it was a long gun.

A technologically advanced steel spear imbued with electromagnetic flux.

Chapter 27 Hey, you've grown up!

Lin Yu slashed his sword behind him, and the assassin who had just rushed out of the broken door in the alley was cut in half by the sword energy, leaving a sword mark on the cement ground.

himeko: "......."

Suddenly I felt that my action of drawing my gun was a bit unnecessary.

Lin Yu: "I think I can still support myself to finish what I want to do."

"So the experiment was a success after all. You're sixteen now, aren't you?"

himeko retracted her spear, which, after a series of clicking sounds as her mecha transformed, reverted to the size of a stun gun and was hung at her waist.

Lin Yu: "My father probably doesn't practice martial arts."

"Oh, I'm a physics professor by side, and I occasionally teach at universities. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

Himeko pulled Hua towards the other side of the alley, which was the rear of the battle line. Himeko turned his head and revealed a sly smile. "And how do you know your father doesn't know kung fu?"

Lin Yu was surprised and followed behind Himeko with great curiosity, "Isn't he a physicist?"

"As a physicist, it's perfectly normal for him to know a little about combat, that's reasonable."

himeko patted the stun gun at her waist, as if defending Lin Yu's father, or perhaps defending herself.

Lin Yu: "......."

himeko casually opened the back door of the command vehicle, sat inside, and patted the seat next to him, gesturing for Lin Yu to sit down.

"If you'd like to chat with me and exchange contact information, I'd be happy to send a car to take you wherever you want to go. Of course, it's not mandatory for you to come up; it's just an invitation."
