Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

We had hot pot for lunch. It had been a long time since I'd had hot pot, and Lin Yu even made it himself. Lin Yu helped me wash the upper body armor, and he said he wanted me to hug him. I was so happy.

It's a pity I forgot to bring a drink, but Hua somehow found some bitter melon juice and handed it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked helpless, but still took it and opened it.

It's been a long time since I've had bitter melon juice. The first time I had it was when Kevin made me bitter melon soda for me. Kevin really likes this stuff.

After taking a sip, Lin Yu thought he would end up with a bitter face, but unfortunately, he didn't feel the same heartache he had when he first drank bitter melon juice. Instead, he only had the memory of bitterness turning into sweetness.

"If Kevin were here, you would definitely be able to become good friends with him."

Lin Yu said casually while eating a meatball.

"That boy who really likes bitter melon-flavored drinks?"

Lin Yu: "Yes, the first drink he gave me on the day we first met was bitter melon soda. At first, I thought he was playing a prank on me, but later he bought me all kinds of bitter melon drinks and I realized that he really liked it."

Hua: "Then you drank bottle after bottle with him."

"Actually, I've been missing it quite a bit since I've had it for so long. Suddenly taking a sip, the taste doesn't seem so bitter anymore. I wish Kevin were here."

Lin Yu mentioned Kevin and Su much more often than he mentioned Mei in Hua.

Lin Yu only mentioned his three friends to Hua. Hua felt that Lin Yu had no other friends besides those three. No, it wasn't just a feeling, but a certainty.

As the hot pot heated up, the steam made the room, with its windows closed, a bit stuffy. The hot pot was made with a clear broth; it wasn't that Hua couldn't handle spicy food, but rather that Lin Yu couldn't.

So the room didn't smell too strong, it was just more humid and a bit hot.

Hua loosened her collar. "Don't you feel it's a bit hot in the room?"

Lin Yu looked up as he ate a meatball. "The weather will cool down after we turn off the hot pot. But it's normal for it to be hot in July. The temperature outside is almost over 40 degrees Celsius."

Thirty-eight degrees Celsius is annoying. Lin Yu hates summer because he sweats too much, which means more clothes to wash.

Although many pretty young women would stroll around the streets in revealing outfits, Lin Yu was a shut-in and hadn't seen this benefit many times.

The community has been without power and water for a long time. It's only because the residents here are relatively wealthy and the community is relatively upscale that it has so many trees and bushes. The lush greenery and shady trees can calm people down even when the weather is still hot.

With the windows sealed off, the house, which was about 200 square meters in size, surprisingly felt rather cramped.

Hua ran to the bathroom; her upper body armor had already dried in the hot weather.

Hua took out the upper body of the armor, turned on the air conditioner inside, adjusted the temperature to sixteen degrees, turned up the power, placed the armor between Lin Yu and her, and said with a smile, "Now it's all set, the armor has its own air conditioning."

Lin Yu: "Huh? How did you do that?"

"I don't know, but it should be quantum technology."

Hua stroked his chin, and Duck, sitting next to Lin Yu, spoke like Sherlock Holmes.

When in doubt, quantum mechanics is the key, a principle that later generations have mastered. Hua has now articulated this idea.

Lin Yu: "...Is this really something that quantum energy can do?"

Even the Fire Moth wouldn't be rich enough to use quantum technology to cool down its armor, right? Well, it's possible to cool it down using other methods. Lin Yu didn't understand, but he wasn't too shocked.

Lin Yu picked up a meatball and brought it to Hua's lips. "Don't think about it. I'm not looking for answers, it's just a feeling."

Hua opened her mouth to eat, biting the chopsticks, and used the tip of her tongue to put the meatball into her mouth before letting go.

"This armor shouldn't belong to the Fifth Division, right?"

Lin Yu had seen the armored vehicles of the Fifth Squadron; well, they were a bit bulkier, and they didn't look as agile as this set.

"It's the armor of the Fifth Squad, a third-and-a-half generation, a test version. Himeko-nee made me wear it, and this is the second time I've worn it."

The last time I wore it was last night when I was testing the armor's performance. I really liked this feature.

After finishing the hot pot, Hua poured the soup down the drain, and Lin Yu threw the leftover food into the trash can from the doorway.

The only difference in the living room was the smell of hot pot.

Lin Yu carried the armor back to his bedroom. Two of the three beds in his house had been dismantled, leaving only the large bed in the master bedroom. Lin Yu felt that Hua had done it on purpose, but he had no evidence.

But as men, they're never at a disadvantage, so they just follow the principle of "it doesn't matter."

"Let's go back to the bedroom. The bedroom is smaller and the air conditioning works better. The living room is too big. If you're far away, it won't feel warm, and if you're close by, it'll be hot on one side and cold on the other."

Hua sat up and followed Lin Yu's footsteps. "Is it okay? Is there anything in your room that I can't see?"

When Hua first entered Lin Yu's bedroom to get him some clothes, he stopped her, thinking there was something in Lin Yu's room that she couldn't see.

Chapter 59 Why Don't You Marry Me?

"How could that be? You're overthinking it. Is that the kind of person who lives in the bedroom? The things in the room were all put there by my friend and have nothing to do with me."

Lin Yu blurted it out subconsciously, but immediately felt awkward after speaking.

Hua pretended not to realize the topic and skipped over it, then went into Lin Yu's room and closed the door.

Unfortunately, the bed was dirty, but there was a blanket in a sealed bag in the closet. It was a bit thick, but with the air conditioning on, it was reasonable to have a slightly thicker blanket.

Hua and Lin Yu tidied up the bed, took out the bedding from the closet and made it up before sitting down with satisfaction.

"Your house is quite big, much bigger than mine."

Hua sat on the edge of the bed with her hands on her thighs, turned her head and smiled. Her body seemed much smaller because of this. However, Lin Yu still remembered how she kicked one assassin and slashed two rushing-level Honkai Beasts with one sword.

What does your family do?

Lin Yu asked casually.

Hua thought for a moment, "Open a martial arts school."

"No wonder you graduated from basic training so quickly."

Hua: "I laid a solid foundation a long time ago, and I would practice every day after school, but I just lacked real combat experience."

This is also the premise that Hua was able to kill ten assassins single-handedly within a few months, without armor and only carrying weapons.

If it were an ordinary fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, it would be quite impressive if she could calmly do what she was supposed to do after meeting the assassin within a few months.

"What's fun in Changkong City? For example, places that can be viewed without electricity?"

Does an aquarium need electricity?

Lin Yu thought for a moment and then asked.

Hua paused for a moment, then pondered, "I don't know."

"I don't think so. Changkong City is right next to the sea, and the water in the aquarium should be connected to the sea, so it shouldn't matter much if there's no electricity... right?"

How about we go to the aquarium? Then we can stroll around the park, and there happens to be a special Honkai Beast there that we can take care of along the way.

"I really want to go, but I hope we won't upset Himeko-nee if we do this."

Himeko told us to come out and do a mission, but we ended up just messing around in Changkong City.

The word "hua" means whether there are places along the way near special Honkai Beasts where you can enjoy the scenery, rather than simply choosing a fun place to go directly.

"Himeko-nee won't care about these things. How about we go to the aquarium? I've only heard that the aquarium in Changkong City is interesting, but I've never been there before."

Lin Yu had also heard that the stadium in Changkong City was interesting, but he had been to the stadium when he went to see the Eden concert. If there were many people, it would be fine, but if there were few people, wouldn't going there be like going to jail?

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Hua nodded as if she had been persuaded, "How about I write in Himeko's report that we went out to investigate the situation after building the safe zone?"

The stuffy heat in the room was greatly relieved by the air conditioning in the upper body armor. Lin Yu pulled Hua, who was wearing a shirt and trousers, towards the outside. "Let's go now."

"Huh? I haven't put on my armor yet."

"Armor doesn't matter. With me here, do you still have to worry about getting hurt?"

Less than one-tenth of the people were converted into suicide soldiers, and the Honkai outbreak occurred in the afternoon, close to dinner time. During that time, people were either waiting at school for evening self-study, staying at home enjoying the cool air conditioning, or working overtime at the company day and night until 9 p.m. before they could go home.

There are very few suicide bombers on the streets, and most of them are in their cars, buckled in by their seatbelts, so they don't realize they can get out and don't even think about breaking free.

Taking Hua downstairs, Hua still put on leg armor and boots. With these two, even if they couldn't win, they could still carry Lin Yu and escape. Hmm, she also put on a helmet. Only with a helmet could she receive information from Australia. As a soldier, she had to be ready to receive orders from her superiors at any time when on a mission.

It felt really good to hold Lin Yu in my arms.

It's fragrant and soft, like hugging a pillow, and it's not heavy either.

"Do you want me to carry you? We can get there faster by jumping over the wall."

Lin Yu looked at Hua, who was wearing a helmet, and asked, "What's inside your helmet?"

Hua reached out and picked Lin Yu up. Sure enough, he seemed a little bolder under the mask. "My face is inside my helmet."

Hua jumped onto the building and darted between the buildings. None of the assassins could catch up with her. Because of her small size and the fact that she didn't make any noise, Hua didn't attract the attention of the Honkai Beasts.

At the time when the Third Herrscher was born, the number of Honkai Beasts was not large, and it was completely incomparable to the later generations. The number of Honkai Beasts in the later generations was in the hundreds of thousands, while the Herrscher of the Void caused tens of millions of casualties.

Compared to later times, the collapse of the early civilizations seemed much gentler, perhaps due to the technology.

Lin Yu: "I know it's your face. I mean, what do you see?"

Hua stared at Lin Yu's face for two seconds, then looked up at the road. "It's a bit gray, but everything is marked inside the helmet. You can see right through it. If you want to ask, when I looked at you, all I saw was you and your information."

Lin Yu: "The drugs in your helmet have started releasing again."

Hua hugged Lin Yu tightly, "Yes."

The closer he got to the aquarium, the more dilapidated the building became. When he was only 400 meters away from the aquarium, on a high-rise building that had already collapsed halfway, Lin Yu was stunned.

hua: "......."

Holding Lin Yu's flower, she silently gazed at the ruins of the aquarium, where a huge crater lay beside it, a remnant of a bombing by weapons of mass destruction.

"This is the area that was bombed."

Lin Yu: "It's a bit different from what's shown on the map."

Hua reopened the map and looked at it again. "The aquarium shown on the map is the center of the aquarium, while this is the entrance, so there is a difference of about one kilometer."

Moreover, the bombing did not occur at the aquarium entrance, but rather at a pit some distance away from the aquarium entrance.

Logically speaking, if the entrance were really more than a thousand meters away and underground, there would still be a chance it wouldn't be destroyed, but that's probably unlikely now.

Hua bit her lip, then hugged Lin Yu and jumped down.

"You can't visit the aquarium now."

Hua seemed a little disappointed, which is why she said that.

Lin Yu pointed to the sea in the distance. What used to be a residential area had been turned into a vast ocean because the seawall had collapsed.
