The delivery guy looked at the military officer with trembling eyes.
I was filled with regret, wondering how I could have accepted such an order.
Because he couldn't get any orders, an order that no one else was accepting suddenly popped up, and he accepted it without thinking.
I never expected it to be sent to the military region.
But since they'd already accepted the order, the delivery guy had no choice but to bite the bullet and deliver it.
But now the delivery guy is getting anxious because no one is answering the phone when he calls the person who placed the order. He's frantically trying to call Lin Yu while also facing the intimidation from the military officer.
I was so miserable.
The three arrived at a small town not far from the military region. This town was also guarded by a branch of the Fire Moth, which is why it was preserved and not destroyed by the Honkai Beasts.
The main reason is that it is close to the military region, so even if another Honkai Beast appears, the military region can quickly provide support.
There were quite a few people in the town, and it was lunchtime, so there were a lot of people coming and going.
Most of the people here are from the military region. They get tired of the food in the military region and many of them choose to come to the town to change things up.
This is perhaps why they are trying so hard to save this town.
"Huh? I forgot my phone?"
Lin Yu felt his pockets and realized he had left his phone at home.
"Forget it, it's nothing anyway."
He shrugged helplessly, clearly having forgotten what was happening outside his shop.
"Phew, I didn't expect there to be such a place nearby."
When Mebius came out for the first time, he was somewhat surprised that there were human settlements nearby besides the military area.
“Mebius, you usually stay in the biological research institute and don’t know what’s going on outside. Although the town was saved, the military region paid a heavy price.”
"A single attack by a Honkai Beast can result in the loss of hundreds of team members..."
himeko explained.
"Hundreds?"
Mebius nodded calmly. She didn't feel anything; to her, it was just an ordinary string of numbers.
But Lin Yu understood what this meant: hundreds of people.
This is just protecting this small town; in the midst of the all-out fight against the Honkai, this number is indeed insignificant.
For the Australian branch of the military, this is already a significant blow.
The total human population is constantly decreasing, and the number of new blood is far less than the number of deaths. If this continues, sooner or later, the Australian fire-moth colony will be unable to cope.
The fall of a region signifies the defeat of humanity's fight against the Honkai, and total failure is only a matter of time.
Lin Yu understood that they had to find a tool that could replace humanity in fighting the Honkai as soon as possible; otherwise, they might not even be able to survive until the next era.
Besides...
Thinking of this, Lin Yu glanced at Himeko beside him.
If Himeko becomes the Herrscher of Flame, the entire Australia will be doomed instantly. How will I deal with that?
It's best to do this before she becomes the Herrscher of Flame...
The idea was rejected by Lin Yu as soon as it came to mind.
I wanted to slap myself. What was I thinking?
himeko is Hua's teacher and can be considered Hua's second mother. Moreover, she has been good to Hua. How could I have such a beastly thought?
Mei is currently assisting Möbius in his research on chimera experiments in Australia, and Lin Yu believes that a breakthrough will be found soon.
We must wait until that time comes, until the technology of the Fire Moth can mass-produce fusion warriors.
By then, perhaps a way will be found to prevent Himeko from becoming the Herrscher of Flame.
"Lin Yu, is something on your mind?"
himeko noticed that Lin Yu was silent, seemingly deep in thought.
This is not like him at all.
"It's nothing, I'm just really hungry and feel a bit weak..."
Lin Yu shook his head and quickly made up an excuse to brush it off.
It wasn't exactly a lie, because he was actually on the verge of fainting from hunger. He was in the middle of his growth spurt, and his illness was constantly draining his energy.
Although it posed no threat to his life, it made him feel extremely powerless.
"Wow, there are so many people here..."
The three of them walked along the streets of the small town, which were lined with food stalls, but each stall was crowded with people.
It was certainly lively, but what about dinner for the three of them?
Every stall had a long queue; Lin Yu estimated that if he joined the queue, he would have fainted by the time it was his turn.
"There's nothing we can do. We came out too late, and it just happened to be around mealtime."
himeko lit a cigarette, and wisps of smoke escaped from her red lips, dissipating into the air.
"Let's keep looking; there's bound to be a spot reserved for us."
She suddenly smiled confidently and continued walking into the town.
"Lin Yu, hurry up!"
Mebius urged Lin Yu, who was moving slowly and looking like he was about to die.
"Stop rushing me, stop rushing me, I'm already doing my best to walk..."
Lin Yu looked even weaker. He was already thin, and anyone who didn't know him would think he hadn't eaten for days.
"Huh? Where's Hiseko-sama? What happened?"
When Mebius turned around, he found that he could not find Himeko anywhere; he had only turned around to look at Lin Yu.
"Lin Yu, it's all your fault. We lost track of Himeko-sama."
Mebius rolled his eyes at Lin Yu resentfully.
"Hehe... There's nothing I can do about it. Besides, I feel like there's a tiny bit of a problem with the scrambled eggs with tomatoes you made."
Lin Yu felt the last bit of food in his stomach acting up, causing him to turn pale and then flushed, fearing he had eaten something bad.
Damn! It's poisonous!
He felt that the scrambled eggs with tomatoes was like a time bomb, which had just exploded inside his stomach.
"You guy."
Mebius said irritably, and went up to help Lin Yu. Although he looked very unwilling, he was secretly overjoyed.
She was overjoyed, clinging to Lin Yu's arm.
Regardless of whether it was caused by her own scrambled eggs with tomatoes, she was just happy to be able to hug Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was indeed somewhat weak, leaning against Mebius's soft body.
To be honest, although Mebius's chest was not full, his body was like a comfortable soft bed, very comfortable to lean against.
He even had some doubts about whether Mebius actually had any bones inside his body.
"Lin Yu! Mebius!"
Mebius helped Lin Yu walk for a few minutes, but they still couldn't see Himeko. They could only hear Himeko calling their names.
"there!"
Lin Yu pointed to the left and said to Mebius, who was still looking around, not knowing where to look.
Alas, God opened one door for a person, but locked all the other windows.
In terms of research, Lin Yu acknowledged that Möbius was indeed a top genius.
Unfortunately, aside from that, it's really lacking in other aspects, even falling short of the average person, especially in cooking skills and spatial awareness...
"where?"
Mebius stared in the direction Lin Yu pointed for a long time before squinting and seeing Himeko occupying an empty seat that had just been vacated and calling out to them.
"If you don't need your eyes anymore, you can donate them to someone who does."
Lin Yu couldn't help but complain.
"I want you to be widowed!"
Mebius rolled his eyes at Lin Yu and helped him walk towards where Himeko was.
"Lin Yu, are you starving to death?"
himeko teased Lin Yu about his disheveled appearance.
"Himeko-nee, stop making fun of me! Hurry! I need to go to the bathroom!"
Lin Yu gave a wry smile, then his expression changed as he felt something was wrong with his stomach.
"boss!"
himeko snapped his fingers.
"Here you are, what would you like to order, beautiful lady?"
An obese middle-aged man rubbed his greasy hands and asked.
"Take him to the restroom, he's about to pass out. Then tidy up the things on the table, we need to order."
himeko first pointed to Lin Yu, who was clutching his stomach, and then pointed to the messy table.
"Okay, okay, beautiful."
The boss narrowed his eyes to slits and chuckled.
Then, he turned around and pointed in the direction of the toilet to Lin Yu.
After learning the location of the toilet, Lin Yu dashed out in a blur.
