After I V-brother Zheng 50

Whether subtle or direct, scrutinizing gazes fell upon the three of them.

Especially after noticing the matching ornaments (oath bracelets) on the right wrists of the three people...

"It's actually true!"

Dr. May muttered to herself, "I thought Kevin was joking."

At this time...

"Speaking of which, where is Vilvi?"

Alicia asked casually.

"She's still holed up in the lab."

Dr. Mei replied, "I think she probably wanted to secretly add some 'tricks' to her new work while I was away."

"Ah~~"

Everyone immediately understood.

"Slurp... Hmm?"

Beside him, Kevin, who had stood up alone, was using the Heavenly Judgment, which had already been assembled into a greatsword and was being used as a table, as a left hand. He had been using his free right hand to pick up noodles with chopsticks and slurp them into his mouth, but before he could even chew a few bites...

Something's not right!

He frowned deeply.

Then, he actually put down the bowl of noodles he was holding.

In an instant, the bowl of noodles, which had just left the blade of the Heavenly Fire Judgment sword, froze instantly the moment Kevin placed it on the dining table beside him.

Furthermore, frost had spread across the tabletop, starting from the bottom of the noodle bowl.

Then, looking at the latter himself, he was carrying a greatsword and had come to the floor-to-ceiling window in the cafeteria area.

He looked outwards...

"!"

By this time, night had already fallen.

In such a sunless environment, it would be difficult for the average person to notice...

Before anyone knew it, dark clouds had gathered over the First Research Institute.

At this moment, Alicia and Mebius, who were also Heroic-class Fusion Warriors, ran over as well.

The others inside followed behind.

Then I heard...

"This kind of weather change is very unusual."

Dr. Mei looked up at the window, frowning slightly. "It does seem somewhat like..."

"Weather weapon, the fourth divine key, the artificial satellite that Velvet messed up."

Mebius picked up where the former left off.

Sudden……

"careful!"

Kevin held his greatsword horizontally, blocking Dr. May's path.

Almost the next moment...

"Bah~"

The French windows shattered, and sparks flew everywhere.

It was as if something was shooting at extremely high speed from a distance, but was intercepted by the Heavenly Fire Judgment and instantly melted.

"It's a sniper!"

Now, Kevin no longer needs to remind them.

Behind the crowd, Danzhu cried out in surprise.

On the contrary, Dr. Mei, who had just been almost shot, remained very calm.

Perhaps, for her, something like this had happened several times before.

Very experienced.

For a time...

"Everyone, stay hidden... uh~"

Alicia was speaking when she turned her head and saw that Qin Yu had already quickly pulled Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu to find cover. The three of them were standing side by side behind a load-bearing wall.

They moved incredibly fast.

On the contrary, Mebius was a step too slow, only managing to pull Klein away to dodge.

Now, Kevin has protected Dr. May, while Alicia is capable enough to protect herself.

Do you know who came uninvited?

Qin Yu asked the others this question from a distance.

Upon hearing this…

"There are too many suspects."

Mebius summoned the Shadow of Devouring Worlds around himself, protecting himself and Klein within it. "We still don't know who this attack is targeting."

indeed.

It's not just Dr. Mei.

In fact, both Mebius and Alicia could be considered 'threats that need to be eliminated'.

but……

"I think that this is what those people outside are targeting this time."

Without warning, a rather unfamiliar voice rang out.

Qin Yu looked in the direction of the sound.

In my field of vision, a woman with a stunning figure, dressed primarily in brown tones and wearing tall boots, is standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, holding an ornate hair accessory in her hand.

It was Vilvi.

When I saw her...

"I see, the Eighth Divine Key."

Möbius narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then, the scope of suspicion has been greatly narrowed."

"I wonder how many fusion warriors those people sent this time?"

She had barely finished speaking...

"Not a fusion warrior."

By the window, Alicia stared intently at the outside world. "They're armed dolls."

"So many, so many!"

Chapter Thirty-Seven, yes, that's right, the one she filled in was 'very simple'.

Recently, with the help of Alicia and Mebius, Qin Yu has gained a deep understanding of many secrets in various fields closely related to this era.

The most important point is:

"Even within the scope of human society alone, the Heroic-level Fusion Warriors are far from being invincible."

It can only be said that the thousand-year memory entity residing in the 'Past Paradise' in later generations made one correct point:

"Even if the Honkai didn't destroy our era, those insects in the Firemoth would have done it."

Let's see what outrageous things have appeared in recent years!

Weather weapons, autonomous humanoids, thermal shock armor, individual mechs... these are just some of the technological products that were already in actual combat before the outbreak of the 'Seventh Honkai Impact'.

Recently, there have even been plans to deploy space-based weapons.

Furthermore, the Fusion Warriors group is not a monolithic entity, and individuals of the Heroic level are extremely rare.

Since the higher-ups of the Fire Moth gang could control Sakura by exploiting her 'weaknesses,' they could naturally control the second, third, and even a large number of people who had similar experiences and circumstances to her.

The fact is, prior to today, there were indeed documented cases of Heroic-class Fusion Warriors being successfully strangled.

Moreover, there are far more than just one such example.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the higher-ups do not fully trust the fusion warriors.

And tonight...

"Heh, no need to guess, those armed puppets definitely carry 'that thing' on them."

Mebius's face darkened. "They're actually using something I developed against me. How interesting."

Hearing her mutter to herself like that...

"Can you please stop being the riddle-maker at such a crucial moment?"

Hiding behind the load-bearing wall inside the cafeteria, Qin Yu couldn't help but complain, "So, what exactly is that so-called 'thing'?"

Seeing that he asked the question so directly...

"A highly efficient agent for dissipating collapse energy."

Dr. Mei glanced at Qin Yu, and after a moment's thought, she continued, "That reagent is a top-grade military equipment specifically used to suppress fusion warriors."

"It doesn't need to enter the human body through breathing; even if only a little bit sticks to the skin, it will quickly seep into the body, greatly weakening the fusion warrior's combat power."

She quickly explained, "However, the conditions for using this reagent are quite demanding. It can only be used to maximize its effect in a relatively enclosed, small space."

"Furthermore, the uncontrollable flow of gas makes it easy to accidentally injure friendly forces, rendering it almost useless in large-scale battles against Herrschers."

"Therefore, it was originally intended to be used to form an internal blockade defense line in the 'deepest parts'..."

"But if it is used by an armed puppet, there is no need to worry about this problem."
