Hua stood up, looking slightly flustered: "It's been...so long time."

Bai Yanyue didn't speak, but simply pressed her shoulder to make her sit down.

"Ellie, your ears?"

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

"Yes, she is very pretty, and she matches Ellie very well."

“Eden, let me tell you, we went to test our strength today.”

"Yeah."

"Sigh, it's a pity that even after undergoing the fusion warrior surgery, I still feel I can't compare to Fu Yan..."

On the Australian continent, after Hua broke free of the rubble, he ran out and soon encountered Eden, who rescued him.

But this invitation was less about expressing gratitude and more about wanting to chat with people who share the same plight.

“Miss Fu Yan, I didn’t get to see you in person back then, I only saw those tornadoes from afar… Was that also your power?” Eden asked.

"Yes."

"In that case, I should thank you. If it weren't for your help, the disaster might not have ended there."

This was something Bai Yan hadn't expected.

Having arrived in this era, he unexpectedly changed the fate of Australia being burned to the ground, thus overturning the information he previously thought he knew...

"No need to worry about it; just draw your sword and right wrongs when you encounter them..."

After chatting with Bai Yan for a while, Eden felt much better.

Bai Yan guessed that this was Alicia's intention; no matter which side it was on, seeing more friends was always a good thing.

At this moment, Hua's face showed a determined expression.

She said to Bai Yan, "Miss Fu Yan, the higher-ups want to rebuild the Fifth Squad, which has suffered heavy losses, so... so could I ask you to be our captain?"

Volume 1: Chapter 141: The Fifth Squad and its members are attracted to each other; you won't believe it until you see.

"That means the reconstruction of the fifth squad has begun."

In the hall, Bai Yan was dressed in the Moth Chaser uniform, with a greatsword slung across his waist and back.

Hua looked at him, as if waiting for some instruction.

"If you're waiting for my order as captain, then... let's start training the new recruits now. You can do it."

"Eh?"

She hadn't been a soldier for very long, and suddenly she had to become an instructor, which she felt was quite challenging.

"Trust between comrades is built up day by day through getting along and fighting. Don't worry about whether you can do it or not, but think about the significance of this. No one starts from the first time, so why not start now—ah, of course you can do some preparation first, and then start."

Hua nodded solemnly upon hearing this: "Yes, I understand!"

Suddenly, Dr. Mei and Sakura appeared in the hall together.

Bai Yan noticed that they were all looking at him, so he asked, "Is something the matter?"

“There’s a place where the Honkai energy concentration once exceeded the warning line, but the value quickly dropped back down,” Dr. Mei said. “I’m worried that there’s some kind of anomaly there, so I hope you and Sakura can go and check it out.”

After speaking, Dr. Mei showed Bai Yan the relevant map.

When he noticed a place called "Twilight Street" not far from his destination, he quickly replied, "No problem."

"Then please."

Bai Yan also brought Hua along, telling her to take this opportunity to relax and not rush into training the new recruits.

Her heart was too heavy, even with strong support.

Although Bai Yan knew what was in Twilight Street, the mission was generally not a big problem.

The group first arrived at a place in the suburbs.

“It’s been quite a while, but you can still tell that it was burned.” Sakura stood up after inspecting it and patted her gloved hands.

“I feel like I need to go to that place called Twilight Street,” Sakura said again, glancing at Shirohiko as if seeking his opinion. “I heard that all sorts of people gather there, and the security is terrible. Perhaps it would be easier for an oddball like me to go there.”

“Okay, that’s exactly what I was thinking too.” Bai Yan nodded.

Twilight Street.

The stray cats on the roadside cautiously peeked out from various corners, quietly observing the group of uninvited guests.

The doors and windows on both sides of the street were tightly closed, and a desolate wind swept through, stirring up dust and worthless, carelessly discarded debris.

"It's a bit deserted here, and it's not quite like the information in the records. Everyone be careful," Sakura warned.

The members following behind had already taken their weapons and were vigilantly watching any possible corner of the street.

suddenly.

A blurry black shadow flashed by silently but came into everyone's view.

When everyone looked over, they found it was just a tabby cat passing by.

The tabby cat perched on the trash can lid, glanced at the crowd, and nonchalantly began licking its fur.

"I thought it was something serious, it scared me..."

"Oh, it's a cat..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Sakura suddenly looked around, her face filled with surprise.

"What's wrong?" [Moon]/Ripples-Umbrella Zero Wife 〓卅児II 泗岜似十

"I...I felt like someone touched me," she said, a chill running down her spine. She held her breath, listening intently to her surroundings. Instinctively, she reached for her waist, only to be startled. "Something's wrong. One of my weapons is missing!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts, which had just settled down, immediately tightened again.

Hua had been on high alert, but she realized that she was also completely unaware of the recent events. She immediately became extremely vigilant and ran to the back of the line to take charge of bringing up the rear.

Bai Yan understood.

He suddenly raised one hand high, spreading his five fingers as if to lift up the sky.

At that moment, a huge circular fiery red curtain appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun and radiating a terrifying temperature.

Bai Yan slowly lowered his hand and raised it to the position in front of his eyes.

A much smaller circle was cut out in the middle of the fiery red curtain, forming a ring.

With a flick of his wrist, a fiery red ring suddenly descended, encircling an area of ​​several kilometers around everyone.

Bai Yan changed his hand gestures again, forming a hand seal with his fingers together, and the ring rapidly closed.

When the fiery red ring was still in the sky, no one noticed, but after landing, they realized that the fiery red curtain was as thick as a two-story building, like a wall of fire that had once filled them with despair.

As the wall of fire approached, it instantly ignited nearby buildings.

Everyone was horrified, and even Hua couldn't help but speak up to stop them: "Captain, don't do this, it will hurt innocent people!"

Bai Yan shook his head and said, "Listen."

Hua was somewhat puzzled, but still listened quietly and attentively.

It took her a moment to realize: "Nobody's here?"

"Yes, everyone around here has disappeared, and we don't know where they went. But one thing is certain: that elusive person from earlier was no ordinary person."

Hua then realized what was happening.

The wall of fire closed faster and faster, and just as it was about to reach the group, Sakura drew her sword. The beast ears on her head twitched, and she looked in a certain direction.

The sound of running was barely perceptible, accompanied by rapid breathing.

Bai Yan suddenly said, "We want them alive."

"Yes."

A moment later, a thin figure appeared, his face filled with terror.

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you guys running? That fire, that fire is about to hit us!"

Sakura ignored him, flashed forward, and placed her long sword directly at Pado's throat.

Pado, however, was in a hurry and exclaimed, "Hey! Even if you want to settle scores with me, wait a minute!!"

She had just turned her gaze to the wall of fire when she noticed a slightly tall figure appear in front of her.

Based on her years of experience on the streets, this beautiful woman must be the leader of this group.

So she quickly put on a smile: "Haha, boss, shall we—"

However, Bai Yan raised his hand with a half-smile and snapped his fingers.

Pado was stunned.

At the same time, the flames, which had formed a dense net, came to an abrupt end.

Then, gusts of wind blades rose into the sky, falling across the blades like palm strikes from the heavens, extinguishing the ignition points one by one.

She immediately fell silent.

Bai Yan pinched her chin and examined her for a moment.

She's lost some weight.

Where have all the people here gone?

The cat swallowed hard, its eyes darting around, one idea after another popping into its head, but they all vanished like bubbles the moment they appeared.

She felt that she might only be able to get through this ordeal if she told the truth.

"Here's what happened: the people here all fled to other places to seek refuge..."

Why didn't you run away?

"Uh... I... I have friends here, so I'm not leaving for now."

"Take us to your current address."

Pado's eyes first lit up with joy, but her face wore a bitter expression.

The members of the Poison Chrysalis stepped forward and tied her up tightly, but after glancing at the ropes and knots, she felt reassured and almost couldn't help but whistle.

Bai Yan patted one of the men on the shoulder, signaling him to hand over the rope.

Then, under Pado's desperate gaze, Bai Yan melted the knot into a ball with fire, then found another rope and tied her hands together like Doraemon's hands, and then set it on fire again.

"Hey! Boss, this can't be serious!"

Although she didn't feel the burning sensation through the thick ropes, Pado realized that this left her with no room to maneuver except for her legs and mouth.

"They dared to steal even poisonous pupae; this treatment is already extremely generous. According to the rules, their hands should have been chopped off."

"Huh? Uh, well... hehe, I didn't know, you know, ignorance is bliss—"

"Gag her mouth."

"Yes!"

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing this, Hua felt a sweat beading on his forehead.

But a smile flashed across Sakura's face.

Finally, Pado hung her head and was forced to obediently lead the way.

Volume 1: Chapter 142: You've done your best through the Thousand Tribulations of the Mortal Realm.

Church, sanatorium.

As Bai Yan and his group approached, voices gradually began to emerge.

The closer you get, the stronger the sense of everyday life becomes.

Gradually, you could occasionally see some children peeking out and secretly watching these uninvited guests.
