Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

This time, Mebius and Mei also agreed to use explosives to blow up the biological research institute.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to think of any way to rescue Lin Yu and Alicia who were trapped inside.

"Teacher, can we set off now?"

Behind Hua, a four-person demolition team stood in neat rows, each carrying various kinds of explosives.

Each group carried a huge explosive device, appearing to be very well prepared.

himeko glanced around and nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, let's go. Remember, use large explosives outside, but switch to small explosive devices when we get to the target laboratory. Don't hurt the people inside."

She looked solemnly at the demolition team and gave them instructions.

"understand!"

The demolition team member answered loudly.

"Go."

himeko waved and watched as Hua led the demolition team toward the biological research institute.

"Himeko-sama, are they able to break that ice block?"

Mebius was somewhat uneasy, feeling that the ice block that sealed the entire biological research institute was not so easy to break.

Because she and Mei had already tried various explosives, even her unique chemical reaction explosion, but they couldn't break the ice in the laboratory, not even a crack.

"If even they can't do it, I don't know what other ability we have to break this ice sculpture."

himeko gazed wistfully at the distant biological research institute, a complex expression flickering in his eyes.

If the ice sculpture really reached an insurmountable point, she had one last plan in mind: to use the power within her body.

Fortunately, the energy within her body is fire, which might be able to open this ice sculpture.

But she didn't know what would happen after that.

In her heart, Lin Yu was the hope of the Moth of Fire and the hope of all mankind's future. If they lost Lin Yu, it would be as if humanity's strength to fight against the Honkai would be cut in half.

The hope of defeating the Honkai is even slimmer.

She saw unlimited potential in Lin Yu; despite his serious illness, he was still able to unleash astonishing strength.

Based on this alone, she could not possibly give up on Lin Yu.

Moreover, during the time he spent with Lin Yu, Himeko herself was unsure whether she had developed any other feelings for him.

She herself was unaware of these feelings.

Lin Yu had once told her that she couldn't use this power, because once she did, there would be no turning back.

For Lin Yu's sake, Himeko would not give up any opportunity to rescue him, even if it meant sacrificing herself to get Lin Yu back; to her, it would be a win.

The power of the Herrscher of Flame ultimately did not belong to her, nor could she control it, but Lin Yu was different; Lin Yu's strength belonged entirely to his own will.

"here we go……"

Mebius's tense voice pulled Himeko back to reality.

Hua had already led the demolition team to the foot of the ice sculpture.

"You two teams go to the left, you two teams go to the right, the rest of you follow me."

Hua was giving instructions with a serious expression.

The demolition team quickly separated and scattered to both sides, while Hua remained behind with a small squad.

She planned to first try to use explosives to blast open the ice sculpture that was freezing the entire biological research institute.

Several demolition teams skillfully set up the largest explosive devices they carried, and once finished, they immediately moved away, retreating into the distance.

"Team One has finished installing the explosives, Team Two has finished installing the explosives, Team Three..."

Hearing the voice coming from the communication, Hua nodded and signaled to the team beside him to evacuate with him.

They gathered in a ditch to avoid being harmed by the aftershocks of the explosion.

After all, this explosive device is the most powerful demolition device they currently have available.

"Is everyone here?"

Hua glanced at all the team members to make sure no one was missed, then pressed the detonation button in her hand.

"boom!"

A thunderous sound echoed around the biological research institute.

A large amount of smoke was generated around the entire biological research institute, enveloping it.

The surrounding area shook as the explosive device detonated, as if an earthquake had struck.

The energy generated by the violent explosion surged in all directions like a tidal wave.

himeko's eyes were fixed on the mushroom cloud that enveloped the biological research institute, while Mebius and Mei beside him were also very nervous.

Whether or not the frozen biological research institute can be opened depends on this opportunity.

It took about half an hour for the smoke surrounding the biological research institute to slowly dissipate.

"It's almost ready, let's go take a look."

Hua poked his head out of the ravine and glanced in the direction of the biological research institute.

The group nodded and left the ravine, heading towards the biological research institute.

"how so……"

Hua stared in disbelief at the perfectly intact ice sculpture at the site of the explosion.

Such a massive explosion couldn't even break through this place...

She couldn't accept it for a while.

"Ok?"

Himeko and the others, who were watching from a distance, also noticed what was happening on Hua's side.

"Did you fail..."

She seemed to be talking to herself.

"What? Let me see!"

Mebius, who was next to him, quickly picked up his binoculars and took a look.

"This……"

A bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Just as she had feared, even using the most powerful explosive devices, they were unable to blast open the massive ice sculpture.

"Didn't it work?"

Mei looked at Mebius and asked.

"Yes, just like we tried before, there are no traces left on the ice sculpture."

Mebius put away his telescope and said helplessly.

"how so……"

Mei was also somewhat desperate, as this meant they had no way to break the ice sculpture.

"Himeko-sama, what do we do now?"

Mebius turned to Himeko, who had a bitter expression on her face, and asked.

himeko took a deep breath, calming himself down. "What else can I do..."

Although she said that, she had already made up her mind.

Since even the last resort failed to open the ice sculpture, she could only...

"teacher……"

Just then, Hua returned with the demolition team.

"I'm sorry, teacher, we couldn't break the ice sculpture..."

She approached Himeko with her head down.

"It's alright, Hua, it's not your fault. This ice sculpture really doesn't seem to be something that humans can handle with their current methods..."

A gentle light flashed in himeko's eyes.

She unusually patted Hua's head and said, "Hua, you've been with me for so long, you're now capable of leading a team on your own."

Hua was taken aback by these words and didn't immediately understand what Himeko meant.

"Himeko-sama, why are you saying such things at a time like this? Do you want Hua to lead the team himself?"

Mei looked at Himeko with a puzzled expression and asked.

himeko nodded, a relieved smile playing on his lips. "Hua already has enough ability. The way she led the demolition team just now made me feel very gratified."

"No! Teacher, what are you saying? I don't want to leave the fifth squad yet."

When Hua heard this, she thought that Himeko wanted her to leave the Fifth Squad and take over the squad herself.

"What are you talking about? I didn't say I was going to make you leave the Fifth Squad, but rather that I was going to make you the captain of the Fifth Squad."

himeko chuckled and took out a cigarette, lighting it with a flourish.

"Huh? You want to make Hua the captain of the fifth squad, but Hua is so talented... she's still so young..."

Mebius's expression also changed. The Fifth Squad was the core combat team of the Australian Firemoth division. As Himeko's key trainee, she felt that it was only natural for Hua to become the captain of the Fifth Squad in the future.

But right now, Hua is still too young, he has only just come of age. Is it too early for him to take on the important role of the fifth squad?

It wasn't that she didn't believe in Hua's abilities, but rather that she felt Himeko could wait a while longer. After all, Hua was still very young and certainly not as mature as Himeko in some aspects.

"Himeko-sama, what about you?"

Mei felt that Himeko's words at this moment seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Could it be that……
