Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

Looking at the research station that was being built at a rapid pace, Himeko said somewhat heavily, "I have invited another demon, a top researcher in biology, to study the strange disease in your body and cure it. Many people will die."

"Originally, I thought you definitely wouldn't find Mei and Kevin. At most, you'd just wander around Changkong City, travel around, kill some soldiers, and then come back feeling depressed. By then, the research institute would be completed, and I could easily fool you a bit and that would be the end of it."

"But I didn't expect you to be able to guess that Mei was already at the Firemoth headquarters. How did you guess?"

Lin Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a habit he had when thinking. "Because Kevin and Mei can definitely escape, and Mei has also received an invitation from the headquarters of the Fire Moth. That's my guess."

himeko: "...So, are you coming back now?"

"Then forget it. I'm relieved to know they're both alright. It's been a long time since I've been back. So, as you said, Hua and I will go have some fun in Changkong City and help you complete those tasks while we're at it."

Lin Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "You gave Hua and me the task of collecting the fluid from the body tissues of special Honkai Beasts, right? You asked us to collect it because you wanted to help me study the disease."

himeko: "As expected of you, you thought of it right away."

himeko had always thought Lin Yu was just an ordinary, at most a little well-behaved kid. She didn't expect him to be so quick-witted. Is this what happens when you're farther from home and your thinking becomes clearer?

Lin Yu rolled his eyes. "Please, Himeko-nee, next time something like this happens, can you just say so? Don't keep it from me, it's putting so much pressure on me."

"You haven't even joined the Moth of Fire, so there are some things I can't say."

himeko made an excuse but still didn't say anything bad about Mei to Lin Yu, shattering Lin Yu's illusions about Mei.

Chapter 58 I thought he was playing a prank on me, but it turned out he was serious.

"So... has it been found now?"

Hua removed her helmet from behind; her beautiful hair was neatly concealed within the armor, untouched by blood.

Lin Yu returned the phone to Hua, "It's almost found, but it's a little different from what I expected."

I wiped away the marks I had just made on the table, but then my hands got dirty again. I clapped my hands, and the dust scattered in the air, polluting the air.

Lin Yu and Hua left the room.

Although it is a school and there are a relatively large number of suicide soldiers, compared to the original school, the number of students has decreased by 90%. After all, those with too low Honkai energy adaptability will turn to ashes before they can become suicide soldiers.

Lin Yu wanted to wash his hands at the sink outside the classroom, but unfortunately the water was cut off. As if remembering something, he went back to the classroom and came out with a bottle of mineral water in his hand.

The bottle of mineral water was poured over Lin Yu's hands, and Lin Yu rubbed them vigorously to remove the dust.

"Should we find a place to rest and get something to eat?"

Hua felt sticky all over, though it was probably just psychological, since the armor covered her whole body and it was unlikely that the blood of a suicide soldier could seep in, let alone the blood of a Honkai Beast.

Lin Yu stretched and said, "Want to come to my house for a bit? My house is quite far from the epicenter of the weapons of mass destruction bombing."

Even the school building was undamaged; apart from the shattered glass on the outside, Mei's water cups in the classrooms were intact, and her home was unlikely to be affected either.

"Sure, but is there a supermarket near your house?"

"Yes, there's a supermarket downstairs. It sells a pretty complete range of things, including fruits and vegetables, but I guess it's sold out now."

Hua shook her head. "Ah, no, I just want to wash my armor. If the water is cut off, there are supermarkets where I can get bottled water to wash it."

Although it will still get dirty the next day, no girl would want to wear a dirty and blood-stained suit of armor.

Lin Yu adjusted his sticky clothes, which were smeared on him when Princess Hua carried him away. "I really should wash up. Shall we go?"

Lin Yu tried to go down the stairs, but Hua put her helmet back on, reached under Lin Yu's armpits, and then hugged him, just as she had done when she carried Lin Yu as she escaped, and jumped out of the window.

The four-story building didn't make Hua hesitate at all, but it made Lin Yu extremely nervous.

"Wait, do you know where I live?"

Hua carried Lin Yu and took a few steps out of the school gate, breaking the steel bars on the gate. Hua, wearing armor, definitely weighed over 200 kilograms.

No, 300 kilograms is not impossible. The high-density armor material makes it look like she only expands a little when she wears the armor, but in reality, her weight is many times different from her original weight.

"I know your home, so behave and don't move around."

"Um, I'm the guy, okay?"

Is it really okay for me to be held like this?

At least give me some dignity.

"I know, but so what? Isn't it simpler this way?"

It must be said that Hua became much smarter, clearer-minded, and bolder after entering the battlefield.

The assassins on the road couldn't catch up with Hua at all; after chasing him for a few meters, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Lin Yu saw the building where he lived, and Hua led Lin Yu directly to the second floor, where they jumped in through the window.

The windows were shattered by the shockwave, but the layout and furnishings inside the house showed little damage.

There were no assassins or corpses in the house, only ashes from a long period of neglect.

Hua put Lin Yu down and checked the other rooms to make sure they were all in good condition before letting out a sigh of relief. She then disassembled the wooden table Lin Yu used for doing his homework into wooden planks and fixed them to the window frame, making it impossible for people outside to see inside, and also impossible for people inside to see outside.

Lin Yu watched as Hua gradually completed the unnecessary defensive fortifications, and even lent a little help, though he didn't know what the point of doing so was.

Lin Yu and Hua dismantled the other bed and table before they could seal all the windows, and there were already assassins wandering outside the door.

Fortunately, the building where Lin Yu lived only had six floors at most. Hua wanted Lin Yu to stay at home while she went out to deal with the assassins, but Lin Yu refused.

"I always feel like you see yourself as a boy and me as a girl. Is that just my imagination?"

While it's true that Himeko asked you to protect me, there's something wrong with protecting me to this extent.

Lin Yu felt awkward. In terms of strength, I seem to be a bit stronger than you, but I feel... I seem to be a bit dumber than you now, and my mind doesn't work as fast as yours.

"Himeko-nee asked me to protect you, so just leave it to me."

Lin Yu: "Let's go together. Didn't you bring two swords? Give me one. It'll be easier for the two of us to clear this building and turn it into a safe zone than for you to do it alone."

These assassins posed no real threat to them, but Lin Yu understood what Hua meant. Wouldn't it be awkward if assassins suddenly broke in while they were taking a shower or sleeping?

There are only six households on each floor of this building, totaling less than thirty people. Of those, only two or three became suicide soldiers.

Lin Yu didn't feel much pressure, he just thought it was quite noisy outside.

Hua thought for a moment, then placed the sword in Lin Yu's hand, pressed down on his mask, and nodded emphatically, "Then I entrust my back to you."

The cool Hua really made Lin Yu's heart flutter at this moment. If the object of his affections was Hua, then everything seemed to make sense.

Hua opened the door to Lin Yu's house and stabbed the wandering assassin to death with a single sword stroke.

There were some withered apples scattered on the ground by the door. The assassin was wearing a uniform for inspecting water and electricity. He was probably there to inspect the water and electricity on the day of the Honkai outbreak, but unfortunately he wasn't home at the time.

Hua looked up and down through the helmet. There were no assassins downstairs, but only one upstairs.

Hua unlocked the long-closed lock on the staircase with his bare hands and led Lin Yu upstairs.

After Hua killed another assassin, he nodded in satisfaction and told Lin Yu that the building had been cleared.

Lin Yu finally understood what Hua meant by "I entrust my back to you." The assassins were all in front, and there were no assassins behind him at all. When he said he was entrusting his back to him, did he mean he was protecting him like a caged bird?

"You lied to me."

Hua removed his armor gloves and touched Lin Yu's blood-stained head, wiping away the blood with his fingers. "This isn't a lie, Yu. I know you can handle these assassins, but killing is rough work, and I'm a rough man. Leave it to me."

"If there are really any difficult-to-deal-with assassins or Honkai Beasts, you would stand in front of me without me having to say anything, wouldn't you?"

Lin Yu: "Hua, you seem a little off today."

Hua took Lin Yu downstairs, carried two cases of water back to Lin Yu's house, opened the mineral water bottles and poured them into the bathtub to clean it, and then poured all the water in.

"I feel my thinking is much clearer today, probably because I was stimulated after entering the battlefield."

After pouring out a case of water, Hua went out and said, "Why don't you take a shower first? I'll see what clothes you have in your closet and get you an outfit."

Before Hua could go to her room to check the wardrobe, Lin Yu rushed out and blocked the doorway. Lin Yu swallowed hard. "Um, I'll get it myself. Are we still a little short of water? Hua, could you help me carry some more?"

A question mark appeared on Hua's head, then she suddenly realized and went down to fetch water.

Lin Yu opened the wardrobe and first stuffed the adult game cartridges that Su and Kevin had kept under the wardrobe under the bed before taking his own clothes to take a shower.

It's a zombie crisis game with gore, violence, and a touch of eroticism, but the cover is really revealing; this kind of thing isn't something you can see.

Lin Yu took off his clothes and washed off the blood of the assassins from his body; that was about it.

After changing my clothes and going outside, I found that Hua had already brought up all the water and opened three boxes.

Lin Yu and Hua drained the water from the bathtub and poured it back in to clean Hua's armor.

After taking off her armor, Hua seemed to soften up immediately, and her speech returned to its timid, slightly cute, and silly nature.

Lin Yu: "...So it's a problem with this armor, right?"

Lin Yu cleaned the exterior of the upper body of the armor, and after a moment of silence, he asked seriously.

Hua's face flushed red instantly. "Um, um... maybe it releases some drugs that can calm people down. Um, I didn't mean to hug you..."

Lin Yu nodded. "Actually, it feels nice to be held by you. It would be even better if you weren't wearing armor, as the armor is a bit stiff."

Lin Yu finished washing his upper body, patted the chest of the armor, and found it hard.

Hua blushed as she cleaned her leg nails without replying.

Sure enough, Lin Yu still preferred Hua as she was now, soft and gentle, making him want to tease her, rather than the incredibly calm and calculating, steely-straight woman Hua, who seemed ready to bully him at any moment.

Lin Yu hung up the armor and pinched Hua's little face. "This is your punishment. What do you want for lunch? It's already 2 PM and we just finished cleaning the windows and your armor in this building."

hua: “随, 随的”

"How about instant noodles and snacks then? I'll go down and get them."

Anyway, there's a supermarket downstairs, and instant noodles and snacks don't expire for months. Speaking of which, I'm not going to eat instant noodles with Hua for a week, am I? Hmm...

After going downstairs, Lin Yu looked around the snack area and was surprised to find pig's trotters and chicken feet. There were also noodles and some chili sauce in another section.

Lin Yu decisively grabbed a plastic bag and put everything in it, and used another plastic bag to hold snacks and sausages.

Carrying plastic bags upstairs, this supermarket is great in every way, except the plastic bags are too small. If only we had burlap sacks, it would be so much more fun to carry all those bags upstairs.

There are also plenty of dried squid and baby cuttlefish.

There are also some hot pot balls and hot pot base, and most importantly, there are small hot pots.

With these things, even if Lin Yu doesn't know how to cook, he can still make a decent lunch, not to mention that he had studied cooking for a long time before.

On July 14th, I came to Changkong City with Lin Yu. His home had been occupied by Honkai Beasts, and no one had entered his house for a long time. I helped him tidy up the house and was very happy.

I learned a bit about the fairy tale trope of the hero rescuing the princess. Because I was wearing a helmet, Lin Yu couldn't see my face, so I said a lot of strange things and almost got caught. I was so happy.
