Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Answer to Chapter 271

Zero was maneuvering the training machine wildly, his mind still filled with Ichigo's words, his first time climbing the Strelitzia with Zero-Two, and Man's words.

As he pondered this, the training machine sped up. The boy appeared on top of the machine, looked down at Zero, and said, "What's wrong? Still haven't figured it out? Tell me what you're struggling with, maybe I can give you some advice."

The training aircraft slowly came to a stop. The cockpit door opened, and Zero looked at the boy sitting in the aircraft and said, "Tell me, was what I did right or wrong?"

The boy stroked his chin and said, "There are right and wrong points. I won't talk about the wrong points; I'll just point out the right ones."

Zero looked at the boy, who said calmly, "You should know about the problems that occurred when the three mechs, Celestial, and Golden Sparrow, went out on a mission. Without Strelitzia and me, their chances of survival would be less than one percent. If you can keep Strelitzia alive through your efforts, their mission success rate will be greatly increased."

Ling lowered her head, deep in thought. The boy stood up, looking at the desolate scene in the distance, and said, "If you need me, I will appear. Or, if you encounter any danger that you can't handle, you can call me, you can call me... Jing Chen."

……

"This city will transform into a mobile form because it needs to connect with the twenty-sixth city. To repeat: This city will transform into a mobile form because it needs to connect with the twenty-sixth city."

Zero-Two stood in front of the Strelitzia, looking up at it. Zero had just parked the training machine and walked to the standby point when he saw Zero-Two looking up at the Strelitzia.

Upon seeing Zero Two, Zero suddenly recalled the man and Man's miserable state in her mind. She was startled and quickly hid to the side.

Zero Two glanced in Zero's direction, then turned and left.

Jing Chen appeared in front of Ling, holding a lollipop, and looked at Ling, saying, "Why are you hiding?"

"I don't know," Zero said.

"I'll let you in on a secret: Zero Two is getting transferred," Jing Chen said.

"Zero Two is being transferred!?" Zero was shocked.

Jing Chen nodded. "That's right, Zero Two is being transferred to the front lines. Now I'm giving you one last chance: do you choose to continue partnering with Zero Two, or do you let things take their course and let Zero Two be transferred to the front lines, never to cross paths again?"

"I..." Zero hesitated for a moment.

Jing Chen said, "You don't need to tell me the answer now. You have to give me your answer before Ling Er is officially transferred."

After saying that, Jing Chen disappeared.

……

In the dormitory bathroom, Zero was completely soaking in the bathtub. Two more times? Zero got up, leaned against the edge of the tub, and looked up at the ceiling.

"I……"

"You're here."

Suddenly, Zero heard a voice, and when he looked up, he saw Zero Two!

"Wait, why are you..." Zero was startled and quickly turned around.

Zero stepped into the bathtub, while Zero retreated step by step. Finally, Zero was backed against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

Zero braced himself against the wall behind Zero, who said nervously, "It's too close."

Zero Two placed his left hand on Zero's shoulder and said, "Hey Darling, let's leave here together. Leave the weaklings here; Darling is here. You're my only partner."

After Zero finished speaking, he lowered his head, and the horn on his head slowly moved towards Zero. Watching the horn gradually approaching, Zero subconsciously swallowed.

"Or do you also think I'm a monster?" Zero Two asked, looking up at Zero.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the alarm sounded, startling Zero Two and Zero One. "A Klaxosaur?"

……

"The classification of Klaxosaurs is unclear. Although one has been identified, there may be others. We need to be careful," Hatch said in the command room.

"Understood!" all the team members replied.

"All machines, begin connecting!"

……

Four mechs launched simultaneously, rapidly flying towards the Klaxosaur. Once they reached a distance from Thirteen City, Ichigo said to everyone, "Stop it here!"

In the conference room, Zero and Zero-Two ran over at the same time. Both of them had changed into their combat uniforms and were looking at the images on the screen.

"Is this the only enemy?" Zero said.

"There's only one for now." Seventh Sister glanced back and said, "Even if you change into uniforms, we won't let the Strelitzia attack."

Ling Er put her hands behind her head and said, "I haven't said anything yet."

At the same time, a transport plane slowly came to a stop on the tarmac in Thirteen Cities. The cabin door opened, and a group of guards emerged from the transport plane.

Looking at the battlefield again, four mechs had already engaged the Klaxosaur. This Klaxosaur had three huge fans on its head. The Lark used itself as bait to lure the Klaxosaur into the ambush they had set up.

As soon as the Klaxosaur entered the ambush, Golden Sparrow and Crane Orchid attacked simultaneously, controlling the Klaxosaur's movements. Green Celosia attacked from above, its two claws simultaneously piercing the Klaxosaur's body.

The Klaxosaur, in pain, raised its head, pulling the Golden Sparrow and the Crane Orchid mechs, along with the Green Celosia on its back, along with them. The Golden Sparrow seized the opportunity, its two spears piercing directly into the Klaxosaur's abdomen.

"Here we go, one, two..." The four mechs simultaneously fired magma energy, and all the magma energy undoubtedly hit the Klaxosaur's body.

The dragon also collapsed.

"Did you get rid of it?" Ichigo asked.

"No reaction, probably didn't hit the core," Goro said.

"If we don't find the core, it can't really be considered a defeat, right?" Mirai said.

Before she could finish speaking, something resembling a claw suddenly grabbed Celosia.

"There's one more! I have to hurry and save them!" he thought to himself.

The two mechs, Jinque and Zhehelan, charged towards the dragon that had grabbed Qingxiang. Suddenly, a rhomboid projectile shot out from the dragon, tearing Jinque and Zhehelan to shreds.

In an instant, the rhombus-shaped Angel transformed into a polyhedron, directly restricting all of Golden Sparrow's and Crane Orchid's movements.

Meanwhile, the celosia was still struggling inside the dragon's mouth, where sharp teeth could be clearly seen.

"Damn it!" The lark broke free of its restraints and charged towards the Klaron that was biting the celosia: "Wait for me!"

However, just as the larkspur reached the location of the golden magpie and the crane orchid, the ground suddenly collapsed.

The next moment, the first Klaxosaur appeared, which lifted the three mechs high into the air, rendering all four mechs incapable of combat.

……

"See, it's definitely better if we send someone out too, isn't it?" Zero Two said, looking at the screen.

"Impossible!" said Seventh Sister.

"Tch, stingy." Zero Two turned away.

Zero Two looked at Seventh Sister and asked, "By the way, who was on that transport plane that just landed?"

Seventh Sister didn't speak, and Zero didn't know what to say either. Suddenly, the conference room door opened, and Zero turned to look; a group of guards were standing at the door.

The guards rushed in and surrounded Zero Two, Zero, and Sister Seven. One of the guards said, "Code name Zero Two, we hope you can come with us."

Seventh Sister said, "They've come to pick you up. Please be a good girl and go back with them."

Zero turned to look at Seventh Sister, who continued, "Zero Two, we need you to go back to the front lines. Of course, it will be just you going back alone."

"Huh? What's with asking her to go back..." Before Zero could finish speaking, the guard continued, "Hurry up, leave while FRANXX is holding off the Klaxosaur..." The guard placed his hand on Zero's shoulder, trying to take Zero away.

Zero Two turned around and glared fiercely at the guard who had placed his hand on her shoulder. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the guard flying.

"Don't touch me!"

Seeing their comrade shot away, the guards snapped out of their daze and all pointed their guns at Zero Two. Several infrared beams were aimed at Zero Two's vital parts.

"Zero Two, what exactly is this...?" Zero asked.

"Darling, it seems it's time," Zero Two said, turning around.

Zero was startled. Zero Two slowly walked towards Zero, stroking Zero's face with her left hand. "I was thinking that if I were with Darling, maybe we could make it through..."

Zero Two's tone was sad and regretful, and her expression was complicated. "I really wanted to stay with you, but now I have to say goodbye." After saying that, Zero Two touched Zero's forehead with her horn.

"It hurts." Zero clutched his forehead, looking at Zero Two in front of him. Zero Two forced a smile. "Bye-bye."

"bring it on."

The guard said this and took Zero Two away. Watching Zero Two being led away by the guards, the door finally closed.

Seventh Sister spoke up at this moment: "Ling, this is a decision made by Dad and the others."

"Is the rumor about Zero Two's partner assassin true?" Zero asked.

"Lin will also have to fight on the front lines for her fathers, because she is a special pistil. Then, the stamen, as her companion, will have to bear the corresponding burden. I hope you can remember that she is different from you ordinary children," said Seventh Sister.

"Does that mean she's not human?" Zero asked.

"That's basically it," said Seventh Sister.

After hearing what Seventh Sister said, Zero ran out of the meeting room and immediately shouted Jing Chen's name.

Jing Chen appeared before Ling as promised. Ling looked at Jing Chen and said, "The transfer was Dad's decision. Can you change their decision?"

Jing Chen asked, "The answer?"

Zero was taken aback. "What?"

Jing Chen asked, "What's your answer?"

"I...I want to pilot the Strelitzia with Zero Two! I want to get back on that FRANXX!" Zero said.

Jing Chen smiled. "As expected, you're just like me. Go ahead and don't worry, leave those so-called fathers to me."
