I am the former civilized hero.

Chapter 280 There is no turning back

If Ryan was unscrupulous before, he is lawless now. The Fire Council that restrains him no longer has the power. Ordinary soldiers, on the contrary, like this "people-friendly" style.

Hiding in the office and giving commands remotely is no match for leading the charge. As for the complicated government affairs, doesn't Mei have it?

“It’s nice to be able to slack off with a clear conscience.”

Ryan walked briskly. After no longer having to deal with those annoying temptations, he felt that his mood had improved. Due to the characteristics of Honkai, he also felt that this organizational structure was very suitable.

With branches spread all over the world as tentacles, ordinary fusion warriors as the main force, and finally high-level fusion warriors as the mobile core, the reaction speed of attack and defense is extremely fast.

"To give an analogy, the Fusion Warriors are like the Astartes, the rare upper-level Fusion Warriors are the Primarchs, and the huge number of ordinary soldiers are the Astra Militarum. Their slogan is to burn themselves for humanity. Tsk tsk, it's really similar to Warhammer."

Ryan shook his head as he thought about it. He didn't want to sit on the golden toilet. That was too boring.

Sakura followed silently like a secretary, and could feel Ryan's divergent thoughts, which made her laugh.

Ellie has been in the same state these days. After reorganizing the Fire Moth, they both seemed to have a burst of inspiration. Well, except for Dr. May, no one can stop their creative ideas.

The two of them walked around the administrative district, like taking a stroll after dinner, and Ryan then remembered something important.

"Where are Aponya, Qianjie, and Padufils?"

"I don't know where Qianjie ran off to. Aponya and Padu were settled in the underground city. They stayed with Alicia and Hua."

"Where's Vilvi?"

"The city is still being rebuilt. Dr. Mei has assigned her a group of experts in architecture and fortresses. Dr. Mebius is still in the research area." Ying paused slightly and told everyone's movements as if she knew everything about them.

Hen, Coleman, Himiko, Andevich and other senior fusion warriors, together with the branch chief who came to report on his work, are discussing the future combat arrangements with Mei, which is also inevitably accompanied by arguments about funding budgets.

Ryan kept nodding his head, and then he realized that Mei came to him to have a meeting together, but since he had already made a profit, he had no intention of going back.

This woman is sometimes scary, but also very reliable. She is impartial and very fair at work. Even the old men in the research institute were convinced by her.

"Well, except for a few who are too idle, most of them have something to do, so I feel relieved." Ryan nodded in a condescending manner and turned to look at Ying who was trying not to laugh, "But you are still so reliable."

"Surveillance and observation are the instincts of an assassin. Are you going to assign me relevant work?"

Sakura's best use is to rebuild the poison pupa. As the manager of the Rubikayan Hotel, she can be said to be a natural spy chief, and she is ready.

"No, we finally came to the sunlight, why should we retreat into the darkness?" Ryan shook his head, walked into another elevator, and pressed the button for the city. "Be my adjutant in the future. There are too many things to do now, and someone has to fill in the gaps."

Ying was a little bit incredulous. She saw the elevator door slowly close, and then quickly got in. Facing Ryan's inquiring gaze, she pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

"it is good."

Ryan's appointment was both a target for Fire Moth and a reward for her. Facing the numbers constantly jumping on the screen, Ryan put his hands in his pockets and breathed a sigh of relief.

On the premise of fighting against Honkai, he can arrange everything according to his preferences. This feeling of freedom is really wonderful to the extreme. By the way, he is full of curiosity about Alicia's thoughts.

Now, let alone the Thirteen Heroes, even the Twenty-Three Heroes can be created. What will this pink fairy come up with?

......

The jungle is filled with vigorous vitality. The lush leaves block out the sunlight, and only some gem-like crystals of broken energy emit a dim light.

From time to time, a dark shadow passed by in the dark forest, or a low animal roar was heard. Occasionally, the earth trembled, and a giant Houkai beast more than ten meters tall rumbled by.

They are on patrol, just like the best office animals, they don't need to replenish energy, never get tired, and don't even need maintenance, they just do their best to complete the task at hand.

From time to time, a crack would appear in the sky, and new Honkai beasts would appear on Earth. They would stiffen slightly, as if they were formatted, and fly towards a giant city not far away.

"The South American branch has retreated and handed Rio over to the Herrscher. But this is a wise decision. They gave up some things and concentrated their forces. Large-scale mobilization would be detected by Skynet. If they rely on only a few elite troops and fail to capture the city, Dr. Ryan would come with the people from the headquarters to kill them."

"The organizational structure of Honkai is very strange. There is no clear concept of superiors and subordinates. Every existence is full of sacrifice, and there is no way to infiltrate or drive it."

"The Herrscher never gave us any orders, as if he knew we had no choice and could not return to the human camp. But I always feel that Honkai is guiding us, not just destroying us."

Callis closed his notebook and felt that what he had seen and heard these days could be written into a fantasy novel.

A scene that had never been thought of before was right before our eyes, just like humans had never thought of coexisting with Honkai beasts.

He raised his head and looked at the thousands of monsters, but he could not read any emotion. It was as if they were looking at air and did not take them seriously at all.

Why was it ignored? Who gave the order? Calis was confused. He only vaguely understood through his own experience:

There is existence above the Herrscher, and what He wants to do is not as simple as exterminating humans. It does not make sense if He simply wants to use them.

From the beginning to the end, no Herrscher or pseudo-Herrscher took over the command and used himself and others as cannon fodder.

"The Herrschers are the apostles of God. Their mission is simple, which is to eradicate all the sins of the world and die for God. Only then can their souls ascend to heaven and enjoy eternal happiness!"

A magnetic voice came from afar. Kallis lowered his head and looked at the football field in the distance, where densely packed people were listening to the Pope's lecture.

As an expert in this field, he distorted all the stories in the scriptures, saying that the heroes fighting against the monsters were bewitched. It really didn't make sense. That was the test from the gods, just like the legendary flood. Only the determined people could survive and rebuild the world.

He is a smooth talker who confuses right and wrong, but he is really powerful.

Calis praised in his heart, looked at the densely packed people in the stadium, and pursed his lips again.

Anti-human elements, Ugandans, believers of various cults, patients with Honkai disease, and fusion warriors who were dragged in without knowing why. Of course, there are also people abandoned in the occupied or abandoned areas. The last category, especially, is full of hatred for this unfair world.

"What a gathering of scum. Except for a few unlucky ones, Dr. Ryan must have wanted to force you here a long time ago." As one of the scum, Calis laughed at himself and understood one of Ryan's ideas.

Letting the Fire Moths slaughter humans would have a very bad impact and would cause psychological problems for the executors, but it doesn't matter now. Since they are enemies, how can we show mercy?

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, I was not forced to come here."

A sinister voice came from the side. Calis turned his head and saw a man with light blond hair. He was wearing a white coat and the damage on his face had disappeared.

"Please don't call me Chief of Staff, Dr. Damian. I understand. You came here on your own initiative in order to survive?"

"This is just one of the reasons. You know my wish very well. I must surpass that woman, and now I have better conditions than her." Damian raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. "I am now in contact with Honkai itself. I have countless research materials. Come to my operating table!"

Calis frowned quietly. This Damian was different from him. He was obviously given special care. But why did Honkai need a researcher, and what did it want to research?

As for who that woman is, it is also very clear. To be honest, if you stay around them for a long time, any normal person will feel inferior. Once you find an opportunity, inferiority will become an obsession.

He did not ask this question, but just clapped his hands softly: "Then congratulations, without the restrictions of the Fire Moth, with the support of the Herrscher and these materials with no way out, I am looking forward to your research."

Damian's handsome face was full of obsession, the obsession of a mediocre person. His motivation was jealousy and the instinct of a researcher.

He unclenched his fists and regained his rational expression. "Then why did you come to this point? With your talent and reputation, there must be a place for you in the Fire Moth."

Calis was speechless as he looked at the city where crystals of Honkai energy were beginning to appear. There was no trace of order at all, only chaos.

There are no rules or laws here. You can take whatever you want. Even dead people can be used as fertilizer. The air is filled with Honkai energy and a crazy and paranoid atmosphere.

"I have a request for them. I think technology can't do it, so maybe there is a way to transcend all destruction."

"So have you found a way?"

"No, maybe the Herrscher couldn't do it, or maybe the Herrscher was testing me, but when I took that step, I was enlightened."

When the Faith faction found him and he decided to give it a try, there was no turning back.

"Do you regret it?"

"What can a gambler who has lost everything regret? Since he has staked all his honor on it, he has no choice but to continue to raise the stakes. Can he still throw a tantrum like a teenager?"

Adults make decisions after careful consideration, and they must follow through to the end, even if it means walking into the abyss.

"You are really pitiful, but also really admirable. No wonder you were able to persist in the super transformation surgery." Damian bowed slightly and walked towards the stadium.

The Pope has prepared himself mentally, and it is his turn to take action next. Ordinary people cannot survive a month in such an environment, so he must make use of them, and soon these people will become fusion warriors or mutated assassins.

"Oh, right, those two gentlemen are looking for you. Go quickly. A new Herrscher is coming soon."

Damian walked away without looking back. Calis was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and straightened his clothes.

The arrival of the New Herrscher was nothing unusual, he just felt a little helpless.

As a drowning man, what he feared was not death, but giving everything and getting nothing in the end. This had nothing to do with feelings or beliefs, because -

There's no way I can go back.

Chapter 281 Ai Lishiya, dreams come true!

There's no way I can go back.

Ryan walked silently in the corridor, looking at the light at the end of the corridor.

This operation had a thousand advantages for him, but there was only one disadvantage, which was that Ryan cut off all his retreat routes with his own hands.

Although he was a thorn in Honkai's side before, he could at least think of a way to hide and survive for tens of thousands of years before jumping out to settle the score. But now it's different. If he hides, humanity will be doomed, and if he holds on to the end, there will be no chance of escape.

'Unless I jump out of this world and travel across dimensions, but the chances of doing so are worse than praying for a star god to help me. I might as well go to bed as soon as possible.'

Ryan wiped his face gently, his expression becoming calm yet persistent again.

Now that we have done it, let’s fight to the death. Even if it is the sky, I will poke a hole in it.

Fortunately, I have the advantage now. In addition to Su and Eden, the Thirteen Heroes have gathered, and there are about ten upper-level fusion warriors of the same level.

He thought about it in his mind and felt that the current situation was very good. The Fire Moths still controlled 60% of the earth's land, had a population of more than two billion, an army of millions, thousands of fusion warriors, and various research projects were progressing steadily. It was ten thousand times better than when Alicia organized the Thirteen Heroes.

Similarly, Honkai has also undergone great changes. Its organization has become increasingly stronger, and it has many traitors. But after all, the Ruler of the End cannot descend whenever he wants, and must abide by objective laws.

"Tsk, even if the Herrscher of the End really descends, the trump card I have now is definitely better than the last few heroes' desperate charge."

After a brief summary, Ryan felt that the pressure was much less. He had already cheated to this extent, what else could he do.

If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. I don't care.

Ryan waved his hand casually and walked out of the passage with a look of amazement in his eyes.

In front of him was a platform, right in the center of a rectangular building. There was a big hole in the roof of the building, which was the one he had blasted out when he broke into the parliament a few days ago.

There is another scene outside the railing. The vast underground space seems to have no end. In front of it is a large lake formed by the confluence of underground rivers. There are several destroyers moored on the lake. There are dense woods on the lakeside. Those plants are all genetically adjusted by Mobius, and the overall color is purple-black.

Outside the woods is another group of buildings, including residential buildings, factories, and commercial areas. However, they are not very high and half of the buildings are buried underground. If you ignore the thick rock layer above, this place is similar to the city on the ground.

In the town, there are hundreds of columns connected to the top of the rock, which not only provide support but also serve as elevators for rapid evacuation. Assuming that each elevator can transport a hundred people, a population of one hundred thousand can be transported down in a few minutes.

Solar refractive panels have covered the city with a golden coat. Giant circular pillars are flashing fast-moving electronic lights, like stars at dusk. Some octopus-like robots are rapidly building houses, such as steel plate houses. The main body is built with brackets, and then the walls are assembled. In a short while, a five-story building is completed.

Ryan couldn't help but marvel at the spectacular sight brought about by this technology, and he felt more confident.

There is no such spectacular dungeon in the original world line. Everything is like a cabbage, and it only reaches Ryan, the heart of the cabbage, at the end.

"Oh my, you just woke up and ran here to see the scenery?"

A smiling voice came from above his head. Ryan looked up and saw a pink flower falling from the sky. The flower had already bloomed, and its scattered pink hair and gorgeous dress were like beautiful petals.
