I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"I'm not entirely sure. When we were escaping with the members of the Cursed Sons Liberation Front, we were suddenly ambushed by those hunters. We were captured, while the others escaped, but some hunters still chased after us."

After learning this news, Chizu Natsuyo asked how much time had passed since they were ambushed. To Chizu Natsuyo's question, the Cursed Child replied that it had been about an hour since they were ambushed.

Hmm... probably...

After learning this information, Chizu Natsuyo thought for a moment and then told Hime Rin and Yuhaka about it. Hime Rin was very angry that there were still hunters chasing after the remaining Cursed Children, so they led the other Cursed Children to chase after the hunters.

Chapter 278 [Reunion]

On the way, Chizu Natsuyo told the other Cursed Children about what she had encountered with Yuhaka and the others. Of course, Chizu Natsuyo only told the other Cursed Children this after Yuhaka, Jilin, and Zelus agreed. At the same time, Chizu Natsuyo also introduced Yuhaka and the others to the other Cursed Children.

After learning that Yhaka and Jilin were from another world, the Cursed Child became very curious and asked Jilin all sorts of questions. Meanwhile, Yhaka was busy searching for other Cursed Children, so none of the Cursed Children bothered Yhaka in his search for the others.

However, they were very curious about what Yuhaka looked like when he could transform into a giant creature.

Soon, Yuhaka and her companions found traces of the remaining Cursed Children and the hunters.

Yuhaka picked up a broken arrow from the ground, smelled it, and then said to the people behind him:

"Found it. There are signs of battle."

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Senju Natsuyo took the broken arrow that Yuhaka handed her. Looking at the broken arrow in her hand, Senju Natsuyo said with a puzzled expression:

"Hmm? That's strange. Do any of the hunters use bows and arrows?"

One of the cursed children, seeing the broken arrow in Senju Natsuyo's hand, looked surprised and said:

"Ah! That's Sister Xiao using a bow and arrow!"

Upon hearing the words of the cursed child, Senju Natsuyo hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Xiao? Speaking of which, didn't the members of the Liberation Front who rescued our Cursed Child all use knives and pistols?"

In response to Chizu Natsuyo's questions, the Cursed Children present explained some things about Akatsuki to her. Akatsuki was someone Chizu Natsuyo had encountered after they accidentally got separated last time. The Cursed Child named "Akatsuki" was the leader of the Cursed Child Liberation Front near the Tokyo area. Of course, there were also Cursed Child Liberation Front organizations in other places, and there were many leaders like Akatsuki. However, there was only one true leader.

Hearing what the cursed children said, Senju Natsuyo nodded in understanding and said:

"It seems the Cursed Children on the Liberation Front encountered the hunters here and a battle ensued."

Although Senju Natsuyo looked around and saw no fallen weapons or corpses, she spoke up:

"Although there was a battle, it seems no one was killed, but..."

Natsume Senju picked up an empty bullet casing, smelled it, and said:

"The gunpowder smell from the cartridge cases is still strong. It should have been no more than 30 minutes. Let's hurry and find them."

.....................

Led by Yuhaka, they found the escaped Cursed Children and their pursuers. Watching the two sides fight from the sidelines, Yuhaka and her companions felt it was time to intervene.

With a crackling sound of lightning, Yuhaka emerged from the bushes, his entire body enveloped in blue and white lightning. Before one hunter could react, Yuhaka kicked him in the head, sending him flying and striking another hunter who had spotted him.

After Yhaka appeared, the hunters present also noticed his presence and pointed their weapons at him. However, before they could unleash their attacks, a barrage of golden swords flew towards the hunters like arrows. The hunters had no idea of ​​such a move, and some of them were pierced through the heart before they could react.

Meanwhile, the other group of hunters dodged Ji Lin's projected Xuanyuan Sword attack. However, after Ji Lin finished his attack, the Cursed Children on the side also launched an attack. Qian Shou Xia Shi commanded them to use the radiance attribute bullets formed by radiance to scatter towards the hunters.

The hunters didn't seem too panicked by the Radiant Energy bullets fired by Natsume and her group, as if they already had a way to deal with them.

Chizuki Natsume was a little puzzled to see that the hunters were not panicked by their radiance bullets, but she quickly understood why they were not flustered. The fire radiance bullets did not ignite the hunters' armor, and the lightning radiance bullets did not affect them as usual.

Seeing the situation before her, Chizu Natsuyo probably understood why the hunters seemed so dismissive of their glow bullets. It was clear that these hunters were a more powerful and elite force than the ones who had chased her before.

However, Yuhaka and her group still hold the advantage on the battlefield.

Yuhaka sped through the hunters, surrounded by a hurricane. The hunters concentrated their fire on Yuhaka, but unfortunately, the hurricane around him effectively deflected the hunters' bullets. Even if they did hit Yuhaka, they wouldn't have much effect, at most just making a small hole in his clothes.

Ehaka used his radiance to conjure the submachine gun used by Exusiai and pointed it at the hunters. The hunters were stunned to see a Krisss Uper V submachine gun suddenly appear in Ehaka's hand. Although they knew that the Cursed Children had the ability to manipulate various natural phenomena with their radiance, this was the first time they had ever seen a Cursed Child conjure a gun out of thin air.

However, due to their professional habits, they subconsciously looked for cover, but Yuhaka's gun was faster. After a few shots, several hunters had their heads blown off by Yuhaka. Well, I mean, their entire heads disappeared.

Upon witnessing Yuhaka's formidable strength, the captain of the hunting team hurriedly ordered his members to retreat, but by then it was too late.

"Cut off their retreat while the hunters are being ambushed!"

As a loli's voice rang out, several cursed children raised their bows and arrows and silenced pistols and launched an attack on the hunters.

Faced with being attacked from both sides, the captain of the hunting hunters became extremely impatient. He never expected that he would be driven into such a desperate situation by these brats. Subsequently, the captain of the hunting hunters gave up on capturing these cursed children and took out a grenade with a crimson biohazard symbol from his waist, preparing to pull the pin. However, an arrow that looked like a short gun pinned him to the ground.

Chapter 279 [The Foolish Dog Obtains]

After dealing with the hunters, Yuhaka and her companions finally reunited with the other Cursed Children, and the matter here was considered settled.

(The number of subscribers dropping from around 2000 per day to 1200 is really a bit much...)

...a few days later...

At the Meru Cat Restaurant, Ji Lin was taking some things to deliver to Chishou Natsuyo. After encountering the Cursed Children last time, Yuhaka and the others also went to take a look. The base of those so-called Cursed Children's Liberation Front was located in a very safe place.

That place is located inside a circular cave, and the only way to get there is through an underground waterway and the cave entrance above.

Meanwhile, at the Cursed Children's Liberation Front Base, Ji Lin and Qian Shouxia saw that there was a good supply of food and water. After all, the Cursed Children here also grew vegetables and raised some chickens and other poultry and livestock. At the same time, because there was a river in the circular cave, the Cursed Children could also fish here, so they didn't have to worry about food.

But the only thing missing is the seasoning.

As for other missing items, there are things like clothing and medicine to suppress Gastrea virus. After all, when Ji Lin entered the Cursed Children's Liberation Front Base, he found that some of the Cursed Children were wearing clothes made of animal skins, so it seems that they were lacking these things.

Ji Lin then planned to bring some things for Xiao and Qian Shou Xia Shi, as a reward that the Cursed Child would send someone to help Yuhaka's Meru Cat Restaurant, and also to learn how to cook from Yuhaka and Ji Lin.

Just as Ji Lin went to the front lines of the Cursed Children's liberation, Yuhaka returned to the Terra world of Arknights. Although Yuhaka wanted to meet Texas and the others with Ji Lin, Ji Lin felt that the Cursed Children needed some help, so she could only wait until the next time to meet Texas and the others with Yuhaka.

..............................

In the Rhodes Island medical bay...

Kal'tsit and a bunch of medics surrounded Ehka, who was sitting on the hospital bed with a furrowed brow, while Ehka wore an "OwO?" expression. Just a short while ago, after Ehka emerged from the crater where she had fought the Brachydios, Texas and the others looked at her with shock. Then, looking puzzled, Ehka was lifted into a car by Texas and the others and sped straight to the medical ward at Rhodes Island headquarters.

What do you all think?

Kyle, hoping to hear from Himeru, Gavial, and Warfarin beside him, asked, Himeru, looking a little sleepy, pushed up the bridge of her nose. Her eyes, looking at the two pairs of long horns, one large and one small, near Yuhaka's cat ears, said:

"Those two pairs of sharp points don't look like Originium crystals, they're more like... the sharp points of a living being? But when Operator Yuu did the checkup last time, she didn't seem to have any horns, right?"

In response to Himer's question, Shining nodded and said:

"I clearly remember that when I last saw Operator Yuu, she didn't have any sharp horns or anything like that on her head, and even if she did, it shouldn't have grown this fast..."

Hearing what Hamer and Shining said, Kal'tsit rubbed her chin with her fingers, thinking about something. Kal'tsit was also very clear about what Hamer and Shining had said. It had only been a few hours since she last saw Yhwach, so how could Yhwach have grown horns so quickly?

However, this also allows Kal'tsit to narrow down the range of Yhwach's race, probably to the Vyvan and Drak races.

The former is fine, but as for the latter... Kal'tsit thinks the owner of Penguin Logistics is going to have a headache, and well, there are also those old lions in Victoria.

Afterwards, Kal'tsit asked the other medical operators to go about their tasks and then asked Warfarin to help Ehaka with a medical check-up. Warfarin knew very well what had happened to Ehaka, since she had just asked Zelus about Ehaka and immediately knew what had happened to her.

Unfortunately, Warfarin couldn't tell Kal'tsit about these things, otherwise Kal'tsit would definitely be wondering where she got this information from.

While conducting a physical examination on Yhwach, they also performed tests for Oripathy. Kal'tsit suspected that Yhwach might have undergone some kind of mutation due to Originium.

So Kal'tsit took Yhaka for a physical exam, and the results came back quickly. The blood sample was still 0.00% Originium, but during the imaging test, a strange crystalline structure was found in Yhaka's body.

At first, Kal'tsit thought that the crystalline substance was caused by Yhaka being infected with Oripathy or something, but after careful examination, she found that it was not Oripathy. After all, the Originium detection device did not detect any Originium reaction on Yhaka's body, which left Kal'tsit a little puzzled.

Warfarin watched Kal'tsit's bewildered expression and almost laughed. After all, she rarely saw Kal'tsit looking confused, and Kal'tsit had once claimed to know everything.

Kal'tsit, who was standing nearby, keenly sensed that Warfarin seemed to be talking badly about her, but Kal'tsit didn't want to say anything to Warfarin. She simply decided to have Warfarin help her with the medical department's documents (the kind of 40cm thick A4 paper) next time. This was definitely not Kal'tsit's way of getting revenge on Warfarin.

Hmm... definitely not...

..........................

After the examination, Yhaka was brought out by Kal'tsit. Texas and the others, who had been anxiously waiting, surrounded her and asked her questions. Kal'tsit then told Texas and the others about Yhaka's current situation. Texas and the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Yhaka was alright. However, when Kal'tsit mentioned that there was something like a crystal inside Yhaka's body, Texas and the others' hearts were raised again.

"Although the crystal doesn't seem to have any effect on Youyou right now, it's impossible to remove it because it has become part of Youyou's body tissue. I personally suggest observing it for a few days to see if the crystal will have any impact on Youyou."

Chapter 280 [Kal'tsit: All That Effort Wasted]

After hearing Kal'tsit's words, Texas and the others agreed to Kal'tsit's suggestion, and Ehaka was then placed on the hospital bed.

“Owo owO?!?!”

As Texas and her friends moved him to the hospital bed, Yuhaka looked around in confusion, wondering why Texas and her friends were pressing him down on the bed.

"Texas, Youyou, let's go out and play~"

Texas, standing to the side, looked at Ehaka and said to her:

"No, you need to rest properly now."

Upon hearing Texas's words, Yuhaka hesitated for a moment, then nodded to indicate that he understood. He then rolled over, lay on the bed, wagging his large tail, and took out a game console from his dimensional portal to play it obediently.

Texas breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yhaka wasn't crying or making a fuss. It seemed that Yhaka wouldn't be like a naughty child, yelling about wanting to go play or anything, which put Texas at ease.

So, while they were in Texas, they asked Yuhaka if she was feeling unwell. To their question, Yuhaka only replied with one word: "Hungry."

Texas and her friends immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

...............................

In Kal'tsit's private laboratory, Kal'tsit was examining a blood sample taken from Yhwach. After looking up from the microscope, Kal'tsit gazed curiously at the blood sample in front of her.

What caused this change in Youyou's blood sample?

Kal'tsit was quite surprised by the changes in Yhwach's blood sample. Just a few days ago, Kal'tsit had written nearly 3 words about Yhwach's blood sample, but she didn't expect that Yhwach's blood sample had changed so drastically, and all the previous records were completely wasted.

Kal'tsit stroked her chin, pondering what could have caused such a dramatic change in Yhwach. Then, the communicator on her waist beeped. Kal'tsit answered it and said:

"Huang, what about the corpse of that Originium creature?"

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's words, Blaze, in the lower area of ​​the abandoned mobile city, looked at a perfectly smooth, circular crater in front of her and scratched her head, saying:

“Uh… Dr. Kal'tsit, although we’ve located the location of the Penguin Logistics battle, but…”

Huang looked at the marks around the large pit and said:

"But we didn't find the corpse of that Originium creature or anything."

Upon hearing Huang's words, Kal'tsit frowned and said:

"Were there any traces of blood or anything left by Originium creatures?"

Huang blinked, then held up the lamp and shone it on the ground, saying:

"Let me see... Ah, I found it!"

Upon seeing the congealed blood left behind by the Originium Smash Dragon, Blaze reported this to Kal'tsit with a surprised expression, and also sent Kal'tsit a photo. Upon hearing Blaze's report, Kal'tsit looked at the picture sent to her computer.

Looking at the bloodstains of the Originium Dragon on the ground in the picture, Kal'tsit could tell that the Originium creature had left a considerable amount of blood, indicating that it had suffered very serious injuries...
