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

Chapter 272 Strelitzia, Attack!

Zero smiled and nodded to Jing Chen, then ran off in the direction Jing Chen pointed. Jing Chen watched Zero's retreating figure and smiled helplessly. "Sigh, just as I thought. Understand? The higher-ups are your responsibility. Put pressure on them, make sure they don't dare interfere with Zero and Zero Two in any way."

After saying this, Jing Chen's figure blurred and disappeared.

Zero ran frantically in the direction Zero Two had been taken away, her mind replaying the first time she met Zero Two, the time she met Zero Two in the bathroom, and the things Zero Two had said during those two meetings. As she thought about it, Zero suddenly remembered what Seventh Sister had said earlier.

"Are you saying she's not human?"

"Simply put, that's it."

"Damn it, why think so much? What I need to do now is keep Zero Two here!" Zero patted his face to cheer himself up and continue chasing Zero Two.

As Zero Two was being led away by guards, he seemed to sense something, stopped, and looked back. The guard behind him immediately raised his gun, pointed it at Zero Two, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ling Er turned around, said aloofly, "It's nothing." Then she continued walking forward.

Zero Two was led by the guards to an escalator. Before they even stepped onto the escalator, Zero's voice suddenly rang out: "Zero Two!"

Zero stopped and looked in the direction the sound came from. Zero was blocked in front of a door, and Zero was pounding on the door with both hands.

Zero didn't answer and continued walking forward. Seeing that Zero didn't respond, Zero started to panic.

"Wait a minute, Zero Two!" Zero pounded on the door, but it had no effect. He then rammed the door with his body, but it still didn't work.

"Listen to me! I was afraid to board the FRANXX with you before, no, maybe I still am, but not because you're not human, but because I wasn't prepared enough. The first time I saw you, I thought you were so beautiful, so confident, so upright. Even when you were injured, you fought the Klaxosaurs without hesitation. You were so beautiful. Even someone as indecisive as me could probably fly into the blue sky with you, that's what I thought!"

Zero Two remained unresponsive, following the guard up the escalator and continuing forward. Zero's voice continued, "I've noticed. I probably don't just want to control FRANXX; I want to partner with you! So, please don't go, Zero Two!"

Hearing Zero's shout, Zero Two stopped in her tracks. She smiled slightly, seemingly waiting for Zero's answer.

"Hey, don't stop!" the guard said to Zero Two.

Zero Two said, "I suddenly don't want to go back." He quickly crouched down, jumped onto the back of one of the guards, and snatched the guard's gun.

Having seized the gun, Zero Two quickly turned around and ran down the handrail of the escalator he had just come up, firing in the direction Zero was.

Seeing that the glass was almost completely broken, Zero casually threw away his gun, jumped with all his might, and landed directly on the broken glass, breaking through the window and landing precisely behind Zero.

Zero turned to look at Zero Two, who had just landed, seemingly still in a daze. "Zero Two..."

Zero Two stood in front of Zero, looked at Zero, and said, "This is the first time I've ever heard someone say something so embarrassing to me."

Zero blushed and said, "I am the one who..."

Ling Er bent down, looked at Ling's shy face, and said, "You said you wanted to hook up with me?"

Zero nodded firmly, "Yes."

Ling Er put a hand to her ear and said with a smile, "Say it again."

Zero hesitated for a moment, then, after gathering his thoughts, exclaimed loudly, "Please let me hitch a ride with the Bird of Paradise!"

Zero Two smiled contentedly at Zero, grabbed Zero's hand, and once again used the same method to rush out the door: "This is my Darling!"

After rushing through the door, Zero-Two led Zero and continued running forward, not forgetting to say to Zero, "Time to run!"

Zero Two led Zero through door after door, running towards the boarding gate.

The guard on the next floor saw the direction Zero Two and Zero were running and pointed at them, saying, "They're running towards the boarding gate!"

……

Zero-Two rushed into the transport plane with Zero, kicking a guard who had just turned around away, and grabbed Zero's hand, running towards the Strelitzia inside the plane. The guards behind immediately surrounded them, trying to stop Zero-Two and Zero.

But Zero Two and Zero were already in an empty field. Zero Two led Zero directly to the cockpit of the Strelitzia. The cockpit opened, and Zero Two and Zero got in together.

"You two get off the plane right now!" Seventh Sister's communication came through as the two boarded the Strelitzia.

"I'm going to attack with Darling!" Zero Two said.

"I could never agree..." Before Seventh Sister could finish speaking, Zero Two cut off the communication and turned to look at Zero, seemingly sensing that Zero was somewhat unhappy.

"What's wrong, Darling?" Zero Two asked.

"Can I start FRANXX?" Zero asked.

"Sure, as long as Darling and I are together," Zero Two said with a smile.

Hearing Zero's words, Zero's gaze hardened. Zero smiled and asked, "Ready?"

Zero took a deep breath. "Yeah, don't worry."

Zero started trying to connect with the Strelitzia, and as soon as he closed his eyes, that familiar feeling immediately appeared.

The bird-of-paradise simply cut a hole in the side of the transport plane and emerged from it. Looking ahead, Zero Two said, "Fly, Darling!"

As soon as Ling Er finished speaking, all of the Bird of Paradise's thrusters activated, and it flew into the sky.

Looking around, Zero was excited. "I did it! I'm controlling FRANXX!"

"Yes, that's Darling's ability!" Zero Two said.

……

On the battlefield, the four mechs have been completely immobilized by the Klaxosaur.

Just then, Lark suddenly noticed something behind him and turned around to look.

In just a moment, the Klaxosaur that had grabbed the three mechs, Lark, Golden Sparrow, and Crane Orchid, was instantly driven away by Crane Orchid.

The three mechs stared in astonishment at the mech that had just rescued them, exclaiming, "Strelitzia!"

After rescuing Qingxiang, the dragon was also temporarily stunned by the attack from the Strelitzia.

"Is it zero?" Goro asked.

"Really?" she said, too incredulous.

The bird-of-paradise shielded Qingxiang from the clawed dragon. Qingxiang sat behind the bird-of-paradise, looking at it with an incredulous expression.

"Leave this to me," Zero said.

"No, we can't rely on Strelitzia this time." Zero interrupted Ichigo before she could finish speaking.

"I'm part of the team too!" Zero said.

"Understood, Zero." After a brief moment of contemplation, Ichigo looked up, her gaze resolute as she faced the Strelitzia. "I'll leave that to you. Everyone, let's focus on this!"

Before the four mechs, namely Lark, Celosia, Golden Finch, and Crane Orchid, appeared the Klaxosaur with only three fans.

The dragon opened its mouth and exhaled a breath of hot air, seemingly ready to deal with the four mechs in front of it.

"You've finally come out. If you hadn't, I would have really thought you were dead."

On the mobile fortress, the mysterious man and Jing Chen stood side by side. They were looking towards the area where the five mechs were engaged in battle.

"There was no need for me to appear before, but now the time is ripe," Jing Chen said.

"So when do you plan to return to your original state? Your current soul state really doesn't seem to suit you," the mysterious man said.

"Well, I want to play a little longer. After all, waking up now would mean missing out on a lot of fun in the future. By the way, I might need your help in the future. As for what it is, I've already told you," Jing Chen said.

The mysterious man placed his index and middle fingers together on his temple. After a moment, he lowered his hand and said to Jing Chen, "Don't worry, I'll ensure his safety."
