Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

The two arrived at the laboratory entrance, opened the door, and saw Himeko and the Sogen sisters standing at the entrance.

"Lin Yu!? You're awake?"

himeko was very happy to see Lin Yu.

"Himeko-nee, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Lin Yu touched his nose awkwardly.

"It's alright, I'm so glad you're alright. It's all my fault..."

The two exchanged a glance, simultaneously recalling the awkward scene from that morning. Himeko's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly concealed it.

"Lin Yu, are you alright?"

Danzhu ran to Lin Yu's side and carefully touched Lin Yu's chest and arms.

"It's alright now, I can carry several tons of cement without any problem!"

Lin Yu confidently raised his slender arm, and the way he tried to squeeze out some muscle was quite ridiculous.

"Come on, save your energy."

Danzhu rolled her eyes at him.

The Cangxuan sisters looked at Alicia with strange expressions, as if they dared not look Alicia in the eye.

After witnessing how Alicia gave Lin Yu a blood transfusion, the two left the control room. Of course, they were unaware of Lin Yu's subsequent awakening.

After Himeko saw Cangxuan and the other two return, she intended to ask about the situation in the laboratory, but Lin Yu and Alicia happened to come out at that moment.

She didn't ask any more questions. She figured she could just ask Lin Yu privately later, and he would definitely tell her.

"Alright, let's not stand at the door yet, let's go inside and talk."

himeko looked at everyone and smiled.

Lin Yu nodded, unaware of the strange expressions on the faces of the Cang Xuan sisters as they looked at Alicia.

However, Alicia herself noticed it.

"Lin Yu, did I offend Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu? They seem to be looking at me strangely."

She leaned close to Lin Yu's ear and whispered the question.

"Really? You didn't do anything bad to them, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu glanced at Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu beside him and noticed that the two of them were also whispering to each other.

Seemingly noticing Lin Yu's gaze, they immediately stopped and responded to him with somewhat awkward smiles.

"..."

"It does seem like something's wrong."

Now he was absolutely certain that when these two sisters showed that kind of expression, he knew they must have done something wrong.

Lin Yu planned to interrogate these two people properly later.

"By the way, Ellie, what exactly are Möbius and the others doing? Why are you with Möbius?"

Lin Yu suddenly remembered that Alicia came from Mebius's side. He had no idea what Mebius was doing now, and he always felt that Mebius was a bit mysterious.

Moreover, Mei and Klein were nowhere to be seen, giving Lin Yu the feeling that these people were plotting something in private.

"Hehe, I was planning to tell you this anyway. Of course, this matter is related to the future development of our Moth Chaser Australia branch."

Alicia said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh? It concerns the development of the entire Australian branch?"

himeko was also surprised to hear this, as she, the head of the Australian branch, was unaware of this matter.

"Himeko-neechan, you should know that after our Australian branch was attacked by Honkai Beasts, almost 80% of it was destroyed by them."

"Moreover, none of the branches have provided us with any assistance, and even the headquarters only gave us a token amount of supplies. This is just a drop in the ocean compared to our efforts to rebuild the Australian branch."

Alicia said this with some anger.

“That’s right. It doesn’t matter to the other branches. They each have their own difficulties and have to face Honkai Beasts. I can understand that.”

"But headquarters really refuses to lend a helping hand anymore."

himeko was also very helpless about this, as she didn't know what had happened to the higher-ups at headquarters.

Their Australian branch eliminated an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, which is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for those fighting against Honkai.

Moreover, Lin Yu's performance has far exceeded the initial assessment of the Fire Moth headquarters. With such talent, how could the Fire Moth headquarters not value him and let him fend for himself?

That alone is already very strange.

Moreover, Möbius's chimera experiments have made significant breakthroughs. With the cooperation of Möbius, Mei, and Lin Yu, they have already left those incompetent people at headquarters far behind in the chimera experiment project.

However, headquarters refused to allocate any resources, which was what angered Mebius the most.

Once Alicia is successfully inoculated and becomes a true fusion warrior, humanity will have the basic ability to fight against Honkai, and even Herrschers will be no match for her.

Of course, these prerequisites still require a lot of resources. You can't expect a chef to cook a Manchu Han Imperial Feast without providing him with ingredients.

This is like a skilled cook struggling to make a meal without rice.

Lin Yu wasn't particularly surprised by any of this.

Knowing the history of the previous civilization, he knew that the headquarters of the Firemoth was not managed and was rife with corruption.

He knew he couldn't rely on the Moths of Fire; he had to rely on himself.

"So Mebius is still negotiating with headquarters?"

Lin Yu stroked his chin; he understood what Möbius and Mei were planning to do.

"Hehe, this isn't negotiation, it's a demand. If you don't give it to us, we plan to stop the Chimera experiments immediately, and if necessary, we'll also disband the Firemoth branch."

Alicia laughed.

Lin Yu smiled.

This is quite similar to a worker who is on a business trip and is about to sign a contract, only to have the boss say that he will not pay wages. Should the worker go on strike?

He certainly wouldn't oppose what Mebius and the others were doing; on the contrary, he would strongly support it.

Lin Yu had another plan in mind: to establish an additional organization outside.

Anyway, the Fire-Chasing Moths aren't necessarily reliable, so this one can be treated the same as the Fire-Chasing Moths, but it can be used as a means for Lin Yu and the others to retreat.

He knew very well that you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

Since headquarters is unwilling to provide resources to rebuild Moth Chaser, he doesn't mind going independent.

However, he felt that if Mebius used this reason to threaten headquarters, he could force the higher-ups at headquarters to compromise.

After all, at present, the Australian branch of the Firemoth has surpassed the headquarters in both strength and experimental research. If it hadn't been attacked by the Honkai Beasts, it might have surpassed the headquarters in a few years.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Yu understood the thoughts of the higher-ups at headquarters. After all, their achievements overshadowed their superiors.

Ultimately, it's about not trusting them.

He didn't care what choice the headquarters made; he had a corresponding plan.

"Although Australia has a lot of resources, they are undeveloped. If we were to restore them on our own, it would probably take several years."

himeko said with a serious expression.

She also negotiated with headquarters, but as always, headquarters politely declined her request.

Unlike Mebius, Himeko wouldn't use the Australian branch to threaten headquarters.

Only Möbius would do something like that.

If it were Lin Yu, he probably wouldn't have said a word and would have gone independent on his own.

After Alicia explained the situation, Cangxuan and Danzhu were completely bewildered and didn't quite understand what Lin Yu and the others meant.

After all, they are both still young and inexperienced, and they just eat, drink and have fun every day.

"In short, everything depends on how far Möbius and Mei can go in their negotiations."

Alicia shrugged helplessly.

"It's alright. No matter what the outcome of the negotiations, we still need to rebuild, don't we? If they refuse to provide assistance, I have other options."

Lin Yu stroked his chin and said.

"What can we do?"

Alicia looked at Lin Yu in surprise and asked.

"Hehe, that's a secret, you'll find out later."

Lin Yu gave a mysterious smile.

"Tch, just making things complicated."

Alicia pouted and said with a slight reproach.

After that, Himeko left the biological research institute. The military region still needed her for construction, and she had already stayed there for a morning.

Of course, Alicia didn't go back either; she stayed here to rebuild the biological research institute with Lin Yu.

"Hey, sister, why are we both here to carry bricks too?"

Danzhu complained, holding two red bricks in her hands. Just those two bricks had almost crushed her body.

"You only took two bricks?!"

Cang Xuan, dressed in construction site clothes and wearing a yellow hat, was panting heavily as he carried three red bricks.

"You only have one more piece than me, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"

Danzhu rolled her eyes at Cangxuan with disdain.

"Even one yuan is a lot, so let's not worry about how many yuan more it is. Just tell me if it's more than yours, right?"

Cang Xuan stared at Dan Zhu and said.

"Hmph, sister, you're just blaming the pot calling the kettle black! I won't accept that!"

As he spoke, Danzhu exerted all his strength and finally added a red brick to his arms, so that he was now the same as his sister Cangxuan.
