NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Before Dorothy could speak, John, who had already anticipated the woman's temperament, immediately spoke up, his words hitting the nail on the head regarding the topic of the meeting.

"I've reached an agreement with Lieutenant Phoenix. Crimson Lotus and Snow White will assist us in hunting Nihilista. The main purpose of this meeting is to develop a plan for hunting Nihilista. Does anyone have any questions?"

Dorothy: "..."

John forcibly skipped her favorite part, and the pink-haired woman's bright smile inevitably became a little stiff. However, she soon made John pay for it.

"Although we have already devised a plan to hunt Nihilista, considering that Lieutenant Phoenix and my two friends are involved, why don't we listen to the lieutenant's suggestion first?"

"can."

To Dorothy's surprise, John not only did not reject her attempt to seize control of the conversation, but instead seemed to go along with it.

The white-haired man glanced at his new acquaintance and smiled, "Then, I'd like to trouble Lieutenant Phoenix to explain the revised plan we made this afternoon."

Dorothy: "..."

what is this?

They actually planned out such an important and serious matter as hunting Nihilista in private beforehand?

These two men seem to have so much in common?

"The self-healing ability of heretics is limited, and the principle is not as incredible as you imagine."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Phoenix, who was now the leader, had long forgotten what stage fright was, and said calmly:

"The heretics' bodies are made of nanometals, and these nanometals are controlled by NIMPH nanorobots."

To put it simply, if I were to use a machete to cut a wound on a heretic, but the wound did not cause the nanomaterials to detach from the heretic's body, then the NIMPH robot responsible for transporting the nanomaterials would simply need to reassemble the misaligned nanomaterials, and the wound would be restored to its original state.

This is why armor-piercing projectiles have extremely limited effect on heretics.

Because bullets cannot remove the nanomaterials from their bodies, even if they pierce through the flesh, the heretics only need to manipulate the NIMPH to rearrange themselves, discarding a very small portion of the twisted, deformed, and damaged nanomaterials and NIMPH robots.

As soon as the lieutenant finished speaking, Cecil, who had already understood from the very first sentence, immediately took over the conversation and said:

"According to the lieutenant, if the heretic's arm is cut off entirely, then if the heretic wants to repair the arm, he will have to borrow nanomaterials from other parts of his body."

All we need to do is strip the nanomaterials beyond the limits that allow the other party to maintain their bodily functions, and the heretic will also lose their so-called 'repair' ability.

Hmm... this logic does explain why Nihilista could transform from human form into a massive fire dragon.

"So the key is to cut and peel, not to penetrate, right?"

After listening to Phoenix and Cecil's explanations, Harlan, a staunch supporter of John, instinctively looked at Honglian and asked:

"But how do we solve Nihilista's flight problem? We've fought her a total of five times, and Isabel has confirmed that her current prosthetic capabilities are insufficient to fight the fire dragon in the air."

The lieutenant was not only not offended by Harlangen's direct criticism, but was even quite satisfied with it.

He was waiting for this kind of tricky question.

"So our only trump cards are Red Lotus and White Snow. All the others need to do is create an opportunity for them."

At this point, the man finally revealed his true colors.

"I admit that your Eden Garden has a very good staff, but you don't have any superpowered Niki, right?"

I happen to have some here.

Moreover, her special ability is pain sharing, which allows her to share pain regardless of pain receptors.

Isabel just needs to keep her and Nihilista at trigger distance, and I guarantee that lizard will be in so much pain that it will fall from the sky.

Therefore,

Please trouble you all to pick up my subordinate.

Chapter 255 Get Out

The strategic plan for defeating the fire dragon has been formulated, and Isabel will naturally be in charge of picking up the people.

As for why Dorothy, who also has the ability to fly, didn't participate...

"I need to continue refining the battle plan with John and Phoenix, please understand." The pink-haired old girl said in a fake manner, smiling and waving at Isabel with suspicious looks as she looked back every few steps.

then,

The woman turned and walked towards Lieutenant Phoenix's room...

……

"Pina, you must have been very lonely all these years keeping me company all by yourself." (The three)

As she walked through the corridors, Dorothy, like a calm psychopath, seemed to be talking to herself.

"But it's okay, we can talk to Lieutenant Phoenix from now on. I will also explain to Cecil that there is another form of life in this world, and I hope she can believe it."

Speaking of which, do you ever complain about the thoughts I sometimes express when I'm talking to myself?

The madwoman spoke softly as she walked.

“Pina, please believe me, I will not hurt innocent people. I just want those Ark officials who isolated us back then to pay the price.”

Not everyone in this world deserves to be saved, does he?

ding dong -- ding dong --

Dorothy rang the doorbell to the lieutenant's room, followed by a full minute of silence.

"It seems he didn't choose to go back to his room to rest. Is he planning to wait until all of his Niki team members arrive?"

Confused, the woman took out her personal Eden data terminal, switched to the surveillance system, and began to examine the footage one by one.

Soon, she found Phoenix... and Honglian and Baixue on the rooftop of the dormitory building.

"It seems we lined up a bit late."

Perhaps because she had no voyeuristic tendencies, or perhaps because of her moral bottom line, the self-important Dorothy did not hesitate to swipe off the surveillance footage, refusing to imitate Isabel's "stalking" behavior.

“Looks like we’ll have to wait here a while longer. A few more hours won’t make a difference, right, Pina?” The woman said, crossing her arms and leaning gently against the railing of the walkway, closing her eyes to meditate.

This was a method she learned from Changfa and Honglian, which effectively prevented her from overthinking.

……

"Young master, with such a beautiful moon, we should drink and make merry."

The bright moonlight shone on the disc-shaped rooftop, making Honglian's white hair shine brightly, which was quite dazzling.

Of course, compared to the expressionless foodie next to him, dressed in white with white hair, resembling a fairy from the moon palace, the drunkard's charm under the moonlight is inevitably slightly inferior.

"Alcohol damages brain nerves cumulatively, and there is no minimum dose. Commanders must not drink alcohol until their digestive system is switched to artificial."

Seeing that Honglian was about to persuade him to drink again, Baixue, who had eaten and drunk her fill, stood expressionlessly between the two and decisively blocked the invitation from the beauty for Phoenix.

"I know, I know~"

The swordsman, who was holding the wine dish, casually withdrew his left hand, took a sip of the red wine in the dish, and then stretched comfortably.

"Then we can drink and admire the moon together when we wander the world together."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix subconsciously twitched his brow. How come he didn't remember promising the other party this?

Didn't I luckily fall off my chair and thus successfully interrupt the Q&A session?

Before the lieutenant could raise any questions, Bai Xue spoke up first.

"So you can get tired of fighting too... Or is it that you can't face your sister?"

"?"

With just one question, Bai Xue steered the conversation out of the realm that someone could understand.

Honglian's sister is dead, isn't she?

According to Farin and her group, the melee units formed by the human coalition government in the middle of the ground war were an inhumane and anti-human experiment from the very beginning.

Ten melee-type Niki, upgraded from mass-produced Niki, were sent to the front lines to fight against Rachel, without any supplies, until one of the ten was killed.

This method is commonly known as "raising Gu".

Phoenix seriously doubted whether the guy who proposed the plan was psychologically abnormal. He couldn't see any purpose in this breeding program, whether it was political, military, or even experimental.

It's like...

It was as if that guy was just trying to have some fun, so he tricked ten excellent soldiers into going to their deaths on the front lines.

During the process of raising the Gu, when Honglian's sister, Qianghua, was arguing with the commander about logistics and supplies, she inadvertently forced him to let slip the truth.

Realizing that one of the two sisters was destined to die, the woman killed the commander, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and her own teammates. In the end, she successfully died at the hands of Honglian in a duel, leaving the chance to live to her younger sister.

The rose died.

She was buried by her sister, along with her tears, beneath some patch of earth.

"No, no."

Unexpectedly, when faced with Bai Xue's blunt questioning, Hong Lian, sipping her wine, still spoke in a languid voice, like the early summer sun.
