"?"
Hearing Alicia's words, a big question mark appeared on Kevin's forehead.
He had just contacted Dr. Mei and knew just how powerful the Herrschers in Australia were. Yet, such powerful Herrschers were actually destroyed by Alicia and Yomi.
"Well, I can't explain it clearly in a short time. Let's contact each other again when we get back. I'll explain everything to you properly. Things here aren't completely resolved yet, so Mei and I will go and take care of our work now!"
After saying that, Alicia hung up the phone.
"Mei, are you alright? Why don't you rest for a while and I'll handle the rest of the fight?"
Alicia looked at Huang Quan with a hint of worry on her face.
Although the Herrschers have been eliminated, sporadic Honkai Beasts still wreak havoc in the city.
These monsters will not easily let humans go.
"Don't worry about Qi Er's umbrella, I'm fine."
Huang Quan gently shook her head. In the battle against the Herrscher of Flame, she had used only a small portion of her power. In fact, for her, the power she used was less than the mental effort she had spent restraining it.
After all, it's easy to kill an insect with a slap, but it's difficult to kill an insect without disturbing the dust around it.
Compared to the power of a Commander-level being, humanity is far too weak. So weak that even if Huang Quan simply uses his power and leaks some of his aura, it can still affect other ordinary people, forcing them to degenerate into self-destructionists.
At this moment, Huang Quan and Ai Li headed towards the gathering place outside the city. However, inside the city, they discovered some unexpected noises.
"Wait, weren't all the people in the city dispersed by me? Why is there still a sound?"
A hint of confusion crossed Alicia's face. The two exchanged a glance and then walked toward the direction of the sound.
Then, a mature woman dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared, wielding two guns and fighting off the surrounding assassins.
Behind her were two children who were being carefully protected.
This older sister, Alicia, is no stranger to Huang Quan.
Eden, as the world's most prominent superstar, holds a status comparable to a robin in the Milky Way.
It was only then that Alicia remembered that the other person had recently been attending an event in Australia.
At this moment, the opponent's gorgeous dress was roughly torn from the thigh, and then tied in a knot for ease of movement. Her pair of sleek purple silk gloves also had several holes from the friction during the continuous battle.
She should have been a radiant superstar, but now all her bodyguards have disappeared, leaving only her frail body struggling against the monsters around her.
In fact, Eden had already been evacuated along with the people before.
However, in the settlement outside, a woman went mad and wanted to return to the city. During the escape, she had lost her child and wanted to go back to find her. But for a weak woman, going back would undoubtedly be suicide.
Left with no other option, Eden chose to return to the city to search for it himself.
As for the bodyguards, she left them where they were to protect the others.
Fortunately, perhaps because the Honkai energy was used to create Herrschers, the Honkai beasts and assassins that inhabit this city are not very powerful. With just two pistols, Eden has survived to this day.
Unfortunately, she is now surrounded by assassins while trying to protect her child.
Without rescue, she might have become one of these suicide bombers in ten minutes.
Click, click, click...
The sound of running out of bullets came from the pistol in his hand; the bullets had been used up in that instant.
Moreover, the surrounding assassins clearly wouldn't give her time to reload.
Just as Yi was about to use his body to delay these assassins and give the children behind him a chance to survive, the assassins seemed to be frozen in place.
Cover the child's eyes.
Some unfamiliar voices reached Eden's ears.
Although he didn't know who it was, Eden instinctively obeyed the voice and blindfolded the child behind him.
Then, in the next moment, white light flashed across the bodies of these assassins, and in just an instant, they were decapitated.
"Thank you for your help."
Although his eyes showed a hint of shock at Huang Quan's strength, Eden still nodded slightly and thanked the two elegantly.
"We just happened to be passing by. We're so lucky to have been able to save you."
Alicia, standing to the side, said with a smile.
"You saved me...lucky?"
Eden was stunned. Could this kind of thing still be called luck?
"Yes, of course it's lucky. I was able to prevent two lives from being lost before my eyes. What else could it be but luck?"
Alicia said matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing this, Eden was somewhat moved.
However, this was not the place to talk, so after a brief exchange, the group headed toward the survivors' settlement.
Along the way, the devastation they encountered was overwhelming, which somewhat dampened Huang Quan and Alicia's joy at defeating the Herrscher.
Even though the Herrscher was defeated so quickly, the city was still severely damaged. Wherever they went, there were either assassins or charred corpses.
Conservative estimates suggest that at least several million people died in this catastrophe.
These losses are unavoidable even in the underworld.
However, compared to the original story where the entire country of Australia was lost, the current losses are much smaller.
Moreover, apart from human casualties, habitat loss has also become much smaller.
In the original timeline, the greatest loss for humanity was not actually the loss of lives, but that Australia, after being scorched by the high temperatures, no longer met the conditions for life to survive in the short term.
In other words, humanity has lost a habitat.
"We're back."
After finishing up the trivial matters in Australia, Alicia took Yomi back to the Firemoth's base.
And returning with them were Hua and Eden.
After being rescued by Alicia and Yomi, Eden showed great interest in the Fire Moth.
And it showed that he wanted to join the moths that chase fire.
Alicia didn't dislike this songstress from the broken world. The fact that she was willing to venture alone into a city full of assassins for the sake of her child already showed that she was qualified to join the Fire Moth.
Moreover, this collapse has had a certain impact on Eden's mentality, and adding the Firemoth can also help the opponent's condition.
"You called me, Mei?"
The office door opened, and Huang Quan, accompanied by Alicia, entered Dr. Mei's office.
Looking at Mei's somewhat serious face, Huang Quan said.
"If anyone asks you, just say that you gained such great power by undergoing my Fusion Warrior surgery."
Mei didn't waste any words; she spoke directly.
"what's the matter?"
Looking at Mei's somewhat serious expression, Huang Quan couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"You know, besides me, there are other people in power within the Firemoth organization, and those people aren't as easy to talk to as I am..."
As Mei spoke, she felt somewhat troubled, dealing with the Honkai while also trying to figure out how to deal with those dim-witted high-ranking officials.
The term "mentally retarded" here doesn't refer to a conventional insult, but rather that compared to Mei's intelligence, those high-ranking officials were indeed mentally retarded.
"Will they target Mei?"
Alicia looked extremely nervous.
Huang Quan, on the other hand, still maintained an indifferent expression.
She wants to save the world, and that will never change, no matter what happens, even if some people among humanity are completely unworthy of her protection.
She knew that some of these high-ranking officials were scoundrels, but the reason she had always avoided dealing with them was that, although they were scoundrels, they were still fulfilling their duties. If she rashly eliminated them, the resulting void in their responsibilities would inevitably lead to chaos within the organization.
This is something that no amount of power can solve.
However, if anyone really wants to trip up Huang Quan, Huang Quan doesn't mind crying to them beforehand.
After all, it's fine if you stay in the back, but if you try to trip me up, don't blame me for kicking that stumbling block to pieces.
"No, but Mei's strength is just too great, so we have to be careful. When the time comes, Mei will say that she underwent my surgery and became a fusion warrior, thus gaining great power. As for the rest, leave it to me."
Creating a fusion warrior without prior notification would cause even Mei considerable trouble, but Mei doesn't care; she naturally has ways to resolve these issues.
"Fusion Warriors? Didn't you already stop that project?"
Alicia's face showed a hint of confusion.
In fact, Mei had proposed this plan a long time ago, but the research had been stalled because the success rate of the surgery was too low and the power of the Honkai Beasts was too domineering.
"Recently, with the breakthrough of the 7VI Art 3222 breakthrough, I have found a way to ensure 100% success in surgery!"
Mei said with a smile.
As she spoke, she gave Huang Quan a grateful look.
If it weren't for Huang Quan, her surgery probably would never have achieved this success rate.
The person who wrote the manuscript was a true genius.
With just a few simple words, Mei's inspiration burst forth, directly solving all the original problems.
Although she hasn't had the surgery yet, Mei is confident that the procedure will be very simple for her!
"Huang Quan, don't rush. Now is not the time to take action against them. Leave everything to me, okay?"
Seemingly sensing Huang Quan's inner thoughts, Dr. Mei spoke in an almost pleading tone.
Dr. Mei has devoted herself wholeheartedly to the survival of humanity.
She knew Huang Quan was powerful, so she would do everything in her power to appease Huang Quan and those foolish high-ranking officials.
"Don't worry, I won't act on my own, provided they don't have any ulterior motives."
Huang Quan nodded and said.
"Okay, then I'm relieved. Thank you, Mei."
