I am the former civilized hero.

The supersonic transport plane was soaring above the clouds. Ying sat upright, she knew that Ryan was among the targets of the Fourth Herrscher, and this high-altitude flight was actually very dangerous.

Ryan knew what she was thinking when he saw her looking like she was facing a great enemy. She was a perfect assassin and also a competent bodyguard.

"Relax, she's no match for both of us, and she's very good at assessing risks."

"Huh, that sounds reassuring." Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered that even if the plane exploded, she would not die.

"No, that's exactly what's scary. The ultimate goal of fighting is to save yourself and kill the enemy."

Ryan said casually, flipping through the files in the information terminal. Now this terminal has been encrypted, and the Fire Moth is not stupid. If the Ruler knows how to use this, wouldn't the whole map be opened?

He read very quickly, the lenses reflecting the data flashing by quickly, and he basically had an impression of what was happening in Britain.

As soon as the source of the collapse appeared, the Fire Moth's high-altitude drone went to investigate, but found nothing except huge waves in the North Atlantic.

The ocean is the best hiding place for Honkai beasts. Even the lowest level Honkai beasts do not need to breathe. As long as their body strength can withstand the water pressure of the deep sea, they can dive as deep as they want.

It is indeed an all-round change, and I even smell some conspiracy.

Ryan's fingers tapped on his thighs. He was not afraid of the challenge and had already acknowledged the rationality of Honkai.

If it doesn't bring out the Herrscher of Constraint, in its current state, it will just kill as many as it can, even if it's a monster with continental-level destructive power like the Seventh Herrscher, Ryan won't take it seriously.

Originally, the Seventh Herrscher was only facing Kevin, who was ready to die. But now Ryan could use dozens of fusion warriors to surround her and grind her into powder with each blow.

So I gather my forces, and you gather your subordinates in a targeted manner, just like a reaction force, the greater the force applied, the stronger the reaction.

Ryan grinned, and his smile sent chills down Sakura's spine, as if she had seen a chess player, and she cast her gaze towards the seat opposite.

The seats of this military transport plane were arranged vertically, but there were only two people on their side, while there were more than a dozen people sitting opposite them, all wearing impenetrable heavy armor and various annihilation weapons.

On the other hand, the two men, one in a white coat and the other in a low-cut T-shirt, would have looked like civilians hitchhiking if it weren't for the straight swords and long knives hanging around their waists.

The eyes of the people opposite were fixed on her ears, causing Ying to move her body uncomfortably, and her expression became even colder.

Ryan couldn't hide her little action, so she put her thoughts aside and glanced at the people opposite her.

The words "fighting machine" are written all over his face.

Ryan looked at the logo on their armor. It was a pattern of a fire-chasing moth with a flame-like "1" in the center.

"Sword of Punishment, First Squad?"

"Yes, respected Dr. Ryan, I am Captain Vinar."

The man in the middle nodded slightly, took off his helmet, revealing his long purple hair and a face full of scars, then leaned forward and stretched out his right hand.

Oh, this is what it means to have 'I am an elite' written on your forehead.

Ryan did not hesitate, leaned forward, shook hands with the other party, and said with interest: "I have heard that you were very active during the rainforest eradication war and rescued several besieged cities."

Now the collapse is a global disaster, and it will never be eradicated. It is far from being as easy as reported on TV. Humans have already abandoned many areas.

"Oh, I didn't expect you've heard of our mass-produced products." A slightly sharp female voice sounded, and the tone reminded Ryan of Mebius.

"Freya!"

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't have interrupted." The girl spread her hands and buried her head in watching TV series.

In addition to the girl with silver curly hair, Ryan also glanced at the girl next to her. She had a sweet face and blonde hair. Not only her hair color, but also she looked like a lady from a noble family.

She looked familiar, as if she was one of the blind dates Wayne had arranged.

He had a vague impression and was very surprised to see her here. You know, his blind date partners were all from the wealthy and powerful class, so why would they undergo such a risky fusion surgery?

The girl obviously knew Ryan, but the two of them didn't speak. They just nodded slightly as a greeting and smiled sweetly.

This smile made Ryan certain that he must have seen the photo somewhere.

"Dr. Ryan, you are one of the leaders of the Fusion Warrior Project, which is equivalent to the person who gave us power." The young man glanced at the two of them and apologized sincerely: "But I would rather preserve the warrior's personality. Please forgive her rudeness."

Sincere, polite and well-educated.

Ryan waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and agreed: "Our bodies are developing into inhumanity, so we need to retain our emotions as 'humans', otherwise we will be assimilated by those Honkai beasts sooner or later."

"Yes, we will always be human, but in order to gain the power to protect our loved ones, we must pay a price." Vinar smiled and pulled his scar, looking a little hideous.

He also had a good impression of this Dr. Ryan. At least this Dr. Ryan turned others into monsters while also turning himself into a monster.

The journey was boring, and they happened to have a good impression of each other, so they started chatting. Ryan then learned that the young man had been fighting in southern Europe for many years and even participated in the crusade against the First Herrscher.

These scars are the traces left by that crusade.

"I led a suicide squad to conduct an airborne operation, and then the plane was shot down. When I was parachuting, I fell into a fire. Fortunately, I had some talent, so I only had to stay in the hospital for a few months." Vinal stroked his scar, and the painful memories resurfaced in his mind again and again.

"It turns out that you are also born special."

"It's not that special. There are many people like me. In the past, I was either recruited or imprisoned. This time, the Fusion Warrior Program gives me a chance to choose again." The young man spread his hands helplessly and smiled sarcastically: "After being imprisoned for so many years, most of them have chosen to cooperate now."

The secret prison of the Fire Moth is not easy to pass through. Instead of staying in there and going crazy, it is better to come out and fight the Honkai.

“How many special talents are there in this world?”

"One in ten thousand, not too much, not too little. But based on my own experience, most people's abilities can only be considered 'magic'. There are very few people like you, Ms. Alicia, and Dr. Mei."

Mei, Weiwei and others are of course considered "superpowers", their IQ and calculation ability have long surpassed ordinary humans.

Ryan nodded slightly. He had already seen through this problem. Most people with talents were very ordinary and could hardly interfere with reality.

This should be a genetic mutation caused by the Honkai. Mei seems to be researching the source of the disease. If the cause can be found and then modified, it may be passed down.

"People with this trait have a higher success rate for fusion surgery, which makes this useless ability useful." Ryan muttered to himself. Just like the adaptability of Honkai, life and death are determined at birth. "Venar, do you think humans are self-selecting? People who are not adaptable enough don't need Honkai beasts to fight them. Honkai disease is enough to kill them."

The young man fell silent. He knew, of course, that Honkai disease was prevalent and that it killed far more humans than Honkai beasts. After all, the Fire Moth had no way of defending against it.

"You mean, even in the most optimistic scenario, only a portion of humanity will remain in the end?"

"Well, what the Herrscher has to do is to erase this part as well."

The cabin became depressing. The reality was so cruel. Even without the Honkai beasts, their relatives and friends might not survive for long. As far as they could see, this road had no end.

“Even if all humans die, we will drag the Honkai beasts into the abyss!”

A roar made Ryan turn his head slightly, and he saw a young man with gray-blue hair, who looked familiar.

"This is Ed, a new recruit in our team. His whole family was killed by Honkai beasts, and he hasn't been able to recover after several psychological counseling sessions." Vinal felt a little embarrassed. Compared with the mature and steady Ryan, his men were just like children.

Hatred can drive people crazy, and psychological counseling cannot help.

Ryan didn't care too much. How could there be a war without some hatred? He just smiled and said, "Are you Japanese?"

"Yes, I used to live in a small mountain village. Then one day, the Honkai beast destroyed my hometown, and I was finally saved by the Fire Moth." The boy first reminisced, and then trembled all over, "So I must clean up the Honkai beasts, leaving no one behind!"

The girl who was chewing gum next to him tried to comfort him quickly, leaving Ryan with a stunned look on his face.

Tap it open, tap it open with your own touch!

That's right, if Alan were to come to this kind of world, he would definitely become a madman.

"Your subordinates really have strong personalities."

"Yes, everyone is full of hatred towards Honkai." Vinar smiled bitterly.

"So if we fight hard enough, at least some of us can survive." Ryan stood up, patted the young man on the shoulder, raised his hand and pointed forward, "Cheer up, the raven is here."

Everyone looked up and saw a huge black shadow appear in front of the transport plane, flying above the clouds.

It was a silver-black sky battleship with a body divided into two layers, the upper layer was the forward-swept wing and the lower layer was the swept-back wing.

Sixteen giant turboprop engines are spinning rapidly, providing almost endless energy under the action of the Honkai energy reactor.

The transport plane looked very small in front of it, with a wingspan of more than 300 meters, like a flying fortress.

The ASC-03 'Raven' aerial carrier is specially used for high-altitude patrols around the world and is the vanguard of the Fire Moth's crusade against the Herrscher.

Ryan had seen it when he was in Canghai. Now observing it up close, he was still amazed by this product of the crystallization of human civilization.

"Those pure-bloods are not completely useless. To build such a huge thing, it is not something that can be done through theoretical research."

This requires thousands of factories and then countless wind tunnel tests.

He saw lights flashing on the lower deck, the tail opened up to reveal a passage, and then the transport plane dived into it.

The tail hook is hooked on the arresting cable, and under the action of the electromagnetic flywheel, the fuselage decelerates rapidly and eventually stops completely. Then the mechanical arm holds the landing gear and moves slowly to a certain place without the need for pilot control.

beep.

The alarm lights came on and the elevator began to descend.

Ryan looked out the window with interest, and saw the complex mechanical structure and the staff holding "glowing sticks". Finally, the transport plane was placed in the hangar, and in the busy hangar, fighter planes were being lifted to the runway and some were being recovered.

Seeing mechanical and electronic equipment everywhere made Ryan feel a little regretful.

In time, perhaps they will be able to build a Gundam.

Chapter 135: To This Strange World

He was very excited to watch this sci-fi blockbuster, and thought that the Fire Moth had already solved the energy and material problems, so it was not surprising to point out this kind of technology tree.

It's a pity that one Ruler of Domination and one Ruler of Corrosion are completely useless.

"Dr. Ryan, is this your first time in Raven?"

"Well, there are only three in the world. It's not easy to get on one." Ryan regained his calm expression and picked up his luggage. "Let's go. With this aerial carrier, our mobility can be guaranteed."

The hatch opened just at this moment. Ryan and Sakura walked in front and saw a group of people in uniform waiting there.

The Fire Moths also have military ranks. The leader is a colonel with bronze skin, a white beard, and looks quite tough. When he saw Ryan coming out, he took a step forward and saluted sharply.

"Dr. Ryan, I'm Captain Heinrich of Raven III. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

It's obvious that he is a veteran of the Fire Moths, an elite originally drawn from the armies of various countries. He is not the same kind of person as Kevin.

"Hello, Colonel."

Ryan shook hands with them, and then it was Sakura and the Sword of Punishment's turn. Everyone introduced themselves one by one, looking very energetic. Only then did Captain Heinrich make a 'please' gesture.

"Let's go to the battle bridge to discuss the specific situation."

Naturally, no one objected, except Ryan who quickened his pace.

"Who will command this operation?"

"Chief of Staff Callis will be in charge of the overall command." The colonel glanced at him and turned away.

Ryan paused and raised his eyebrows.
