Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

My second brother guides me, not the other way around. My second brother raises a flag for a certain gender, which means he truly likes that gender. Well... cross-dressers don't count.

Hua: "I know, after all, you didn't have any male friends after you arrived in Australia, only me and the instructors and a few other female friends."

Hua said in a muffled voice, turning around, "Let me look at the map. Let's see where we're going this week. Changkong City isn't very big, and there aren't many attractions. We can take our time to explore."

Lin Yu: "It's getting dark."

It's dark now, I can't even see your expression, are you sure you can still see the map?

Hua turned on the light on his helmet, pointing it directly at the ceiling. The room instantly brightened, and for a couple of seconds, Lin Yu's eyes went from darkness to light and he couldn't see anything at all.

Hua took out the map hidden in her leg armor and lay on the bed to examine it carefully with Lin Yu.

The map of Changkong City is somewhat similar to Tongliao in my previous life, except that it is laid out horizontally. Hua used a pen that fell out of the table when he was dismantling the table to look at the map, occasionally marking a point and then drawing a circle to cover the area near the weapons of mass destruction, which was a place with nothing in it.

Lin Yu's residential area is very close to the seaside. Hua thoughtfully drew a small five-pointed star on it and wrote the word "home" in beautiful handwriting.

The zoo is in Tongliao... in another direction from Changkong City. Hua marked several places to visit along the way.

Some even showed safe zones that had been cleared by the Fifth Squadron of the Fire Moth in the maps inside the helmets.

Even the fifth team has its own aesthetic standards.

There are about ten small circles drawn from left to right; these are the places you can go and play.

"The whole city is serving just the two of us. The entire Changkong City is deserted except for us. How does that feel? Aren't you a little excited?"

Lin Yu looked at the places he had marked from the first day to the seventh day, and even where he stayed.

"These are the places we're going to and where we'll be staying. They're all small buildings with supermarkets downstairs. There aren't many assassins, but the resources are plentiful."

Hua rubbed his hands together and breathed on them to warm them up. "I just need to go downstairs to move some things, then I can take a shower and go to bed. How about that? Pretty good travel plan, right?"

Lin Yu: "Very good. When Su and I went to Canghai City, we just went wherever we ended up, without any specific goal."

Lin Yu sighed, "I wonder where Su is now. I clearly told Himeko to look for her. Mei and Kevin went to the headquarters of the Fire Moth. Could it be that Su also went to some unknown organization that Himeko can't find?"

That can't be right. He's just a goofy guy with squinty eyes, maybe a little smart, but only to a certain extent. After all, when Kevin, Su, and Lin Yu are together, Su, the strategist, will often do irrational things under the influence of Kevin and Lin Yu.

Hua: "Try to think positively. Maybe you're just living under an assumed name with a different identity."

Lin Yu shook his head. "He wouldn't do something like that, would he..."

........

In a European refugee camp thousands of miles away, Su frowned as he looked at the patient's report, who was scheduled for surgery at five o'clock the next morning.

The wall behind his chair was covered with words of gratitude for saving lives, all given to him. Doctors learn very quickly when there are injured people around, not to mention that Su is also very intelligent, comes from a family of doctors, and is making rapid progress in his medical studies.

Su did not hide his identity, but it was clear that his identity was misunderstood by the patients and his colleagues.

In addition to Su's professionalism, no one doubted that Su was just a high school student who had not yet graduated; they just thought he was some young-looking medical expert.

Imer brought Su a cup of tea. "Have some tea. Go to bed early tonight. The surgery tomorrow morning will be very long, and you won't be able to keep going if you don't get enough rest."

Even now, looking at Su, Imer doubts whether it was she who rescued Su and took her to the refugee and wounded area on the outskirts of Canghai City that day, or whether Su took the initiative to find her and join the Mu Continent Special Rescue Team.

But that doesn't matter now. Su's medical skills are an art form—brutal, but fast and effective.

While a surgeon might not be able to perform highly specialized and delicate surgeries well, in an emergency, a surgeon can at least keep the patient alive, and in an emergency, being alive is already a good outcome.

Su picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Why was this non-urgent surgery assigned to me? I'm very busy."

Imer gracefully walked behind Su and placed her fingertips on his shoulder. "Aren't you going to study medicine? If you only know how to do first aid, you won't be able to save the person you want to save. I specially fought for this kind of surgery. Let's start with something simple~, or are you already used to it?"

Su's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned slightly. "So this is your reason for making me have a circumcision for a day?"

Imer: "That's normal, my friend. Start with the simple things and then slowly work your way up until... you really have the ability to extract the part of a person that makes them different from others without affecting their life."

Imer lowered his head and leaned close to Su's ear. "Besides, this is just surgery. If you want to study medicine, there are many, many subjects to learn. For example, would you prescribe medicine for a patient who has had a high fever for more than fifteen days?"

Su ignored Imer, gave a soft snort, and continued looking at the lower bodies of the patients in the report.

Imer pulled a shiny gold card from his white coat pocket and placed it on the surgical patient list report that Su had just been looking at. "Here's my supplementary gold card. Go out and have some fun after all the patients have their surgeries tomorrow."

"Your salary is so low, and you still have to ask those gangsters to help you find out if Lin Yukai and Wenmei's names are among the refugees who escaped from Changkong City or Canghai City. You often eat instant noodles. You don't have much money, do you?"

Su: "Are you teaching me how to do things? I'm warning you, a doctor's duty is to save lives and heal the wounded, not just to pay for medical treatment. Even if I didn't have money, I would still do these circumcisions. It's just that some officials specifically asked me to perform the surgery. Look how many banners I have hanging behind me praising myself for saving lives and healing the wounded."

Su returned the supplementary gold card, saying smugly, "It's mainly for studying, it has nothing to do with money."

Imer brushed the dandruff off Su's shoulder, took out five hundred euros from another pocket and put it on the table in front of Su. "Consider it a loan. Hope you feel a little better. If you have a sour face every day, the patients will be scared."

This time, Su didn't return the five hundred euros; instead, she pretended not to care and continued reading the report, saying, "Thank you."

"No need. After all, I brought you here, so I have to take good care of you. If you only eat noodles every day and only have instant noodles occasionally, it will be very difficult for me in the eyes of my girlfriends."

Imer was satisfied that Su hadn't returned the money. "Actually, you should be more open-minded. The Honkai is something that ordinary people can't predict. Tens of millions of people have died because of the Honkai outbreak. What can you do? You shouldn't atone for things that have nothing to do with you."

"Go make some new friends. For example, quite a few of my girlfriends have their eyes on you."

Su lowered his head and remained silent. "You don't understand. We've sworn brotherhood. We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year. I'm not dead yet, which means they're alive too. I firmly believe that."

Imer: "It's just a child's little trick. It's settled then. Tomorrow night, after you finish your last surgery, I'll have my girlfriends take you for a drive. Remember to pay for your meals first, be a little chauvinistic. If it's not enough, I'll add some more for you."

Su: "Why are you so good to me?"

“Because you’re a good person,” Imer answered instantly, without the slightest hesitation, as if it were a subconscious remark.

There are many good people in this world, but are you going to be good to them all?

Su didn't understand why Imer, who was already allowed to return to the Mu Continent, was still staying with him in the refugee camp on the European side to help treat the wounded.

"No, no, no, none of the other good people are as hardworking as you... You work so relentlessly, it worries me. You have no selfish motives whatsoever."

In fact, Imer thought that even if Su was stupid, he would have realized that the person he was looking for could no longer be found, but Su still pretended not to know and continued to work to treat and save people.

There's an old Chinese saying that goes, "A gentleman judges by his actions, not his intentions." Su worked so hard to save patients; isn't that the mark of a good person?

Moreover, Su is too young, only sixteen or seventeen years old. Imer brought Su into the medical community, and if Su has any problems in the community, Imer will think it's his fault.

Imer always treated Su like a somewhat disobedient younger brother. Of course, at first, she did want to date him. After all, dating a handsome underage guy who was so much younger than her was really super cool.

But after Su worked so hard, Imer gave up on the idea. Su didn't have any daily rest time, and dating someone like that would be torture. Imer's first love couldn't be wasted on working with him.

Unfortunately, only she could see these drawbacks. To Imer's friends, Su was an absolutely perfect man!

He's hardworking, young, handsome, and always put in a lot of effort. He has a cool, aloof CEO look, but when he smiles, he likes to squint his eyes and is incredibly cute. One man, two modes—which girl could resist?

They directly confronted Imer and let her know, because Imer really couldn't explain to them that Su wanted to work eighteen hours a day.

The girls got even more excited after hearing this. It was as if they didn't know what a perfect guy who wanted to work 18 hours a day was like. They could only say that the distance between them was too great, so their filter was too thick.

If you live close to your boyfriend, which girl can resist him being away from home all day?

Su put away the five hundred euros. "I'm not interested in your girlfriends. I like girls with big breasts who are no more than three years younger than me. As for your girlfriends, to put it nicely, I'd call them 'sisters,' but to put it bluntly, the youngest of them is seven years older than me, and the oldest could be my mother. I can only reluctantly call them 'aunties' even if I have to lie to myself."

Imer's lips twitched. "And what about me?"

Su looked down at the report, "Imer, my sister."

Imer scoffed softly, "At least you have some conscience. Consider it a meal to clear your head. I'm leaving now. Remember to do a good job with the surgery tomorrow morning. Don't let anything go wrong. I don't start work until 8:30 tomorrow."

Su waved his hand to indicate that Imer could leave, and then went to look at the historical surgical records on the computer to see how the experts who performed circumcisions had done it.

"Wow, Kevin, you're so big! Where did you get your circumcision done?"

It was late at night, and Kevin was using the toilet in a public restroom in Canghai City when a voice suddenly came from behind him, startling him so much that his hands almost trembled.

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to keep watch outside?"

After Kevin finished using the restroom, he quickly pulled up his pants and fastened his armor.

The teammate patted Kevin on the shoulder. "Another brother came to keep watch for me, so I came in to use the restroom and wash my hands. Speaking of which, boss, how much longer are we going to stay in Canghai City?"

"About a week, the research department has assigned us more work. We need to clean up some special Honkai Beasts in Canghai City and extract tissue fluid from their bodies. Keep busy, we'll have a vacation when we get back."

Mei asked Kevin to collect the tissue fluid. Kevin originally wanted to collect it in Changkong City, but Mei said that Changkong City had already been booked by Australia. If he went there to take on the mission, Australia would be fighting the pandemic, so he could only clean it up in Canghai City.

Come to think of it, when the Herrscher was born and the Honkai erupted, the city was under blockade by the Chinese and Australian military. So what if they want to take some of the more special Honkai Beasts from the city now? They can't interfere with their research.

"Boss, do you think those idiots in the research department are treating us like livestock, like a series of nesting dolls?"

Kevin sighed and poured himself a bottle of mineral water to wash his hands. "Since we're already here, let's just do it."

This task was originally requested by me personally. It was an act of using public office for private gain, so it's normal for others to assign me some work.

"Sigh, they're stuck in their rooms and have no idea what's going on outside. We're out there working ourselves to the bone while they just sit around drinking tea and dump their needs on us."

After the team members finished tidying up their armor, they took the bottled water from Kevin and washed their hands. Kevin said helplessly, "Since you guys followed me, no one has died. You all came and went unharmed. Only two idiots took advantage of my presence to secretly wrestle with the Assault-class Honkai Beast and broke their arms."

Kevin wiped the water off the teammate's armor, put on gloves, and locked them. "I came here to find someone. I haven't said anything about the mission being thrown at me and disrupting my plans. So don't complain."

After returning to the safe zone, Kevin ate military canned food while munching on his salty, temporary military rations, glancing in the direction of Changkong City.

Night had fallen, and there were faint lights there—the light from solar-powered streetlights. They were weak, but they held a glimmer of hope.

If Lin Yu were in Australia, he would definitely be locked up and forced to do this and that. He might even be forced to have a child to see if the child's genes had changed. If he hadn't been arrested, he would probably be working somewhere now, maybe even on night shifts.

Lin Yu, who suffers from social anxiety, works on the assembly line, feeling wronged. At night, he hides in a dark alley, covering himself with a cardboard box and falling asleep with tears in his eyes. In July, when the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius, Lin Yu might not even have a place to live and can only eat processed fast food, compressed biscuits, or cheap canned food. Because of his social anxiety, he can't even make any friends. Kevin can already picture it in his mind.

Chapter 61 How did such a simp become Lin Yu's childhood sweetheart?

The next day, as expected, a torrential downpour began, reminding Lin Yu of the phrase "the Milky Way seems to fall from the ninth heaven." The wind howled, and lightning flashed; it was another typhoon day.

That's the downside of being by the sea: while technology is advanced, typhoons are also more frequent.

Lin Yu stood at the open door on the rooftop, watching the raindrops patter down outside. Heavy rain always makes people feel bad, but it also always helps them calm down.

After lunch, the heavy rain finally stopped around 2 p.m. The sky cleared up, which was slightly different from the cloudy weather forecast, but that's normal, since weather forecasts are never accurate.

The assassins didn't even bother to seek shelter from the rain; their bodies were covered in dripping water. Lin Yu hugged Hua's neck from behind, and Hua carried him on her back as they traversed the abandoned steel and concrete jungle.

They soon arrived at the first place they had planned the night before, a park very close to Chiyu Academy.

Since the day of the Honkai outbreak was a weekday, there were very few zombies in the park. Lin Yu and Hua strolled around the park and even fished in a small boat in the lake. Unfortunately, they only caught small fish, and their fishing rod broke. Lin Yu released them all back into the water.

Occasionally, there were scratching sounds from the bottom of the boat. Lin Yu parted the floating water plants and saw the assassins wandering in the water, slowly chasing the boat, occasionally falling down.

Lin Yu finally understood why his fishing rod had broken: he had caught a dead fish.

Hua: "Are there a lot of assassins down there? Is it just my imagination?"

"I don't know. It's probably because the lake is located in a low-lying area, so they probably fell in without realizing it while they were wandering around."

Two of the assassins were flashing red light, seemingly ready to launch an attack. Unfortunately, the lake was quite deep, and they could only reach the bottom of the boat at most.
