I am the former civilized hero.

"Sir Ryan, I have gained my freedom temporarily. I have escaped from pursuit by relying on the means I arranged before. Please rest assured that Suo will not be able to find you in a short time. Besides, you don't care about His threats."

"If you can cross the end, you have no desire for the quantum sea, and there will be no intersection; if you can't cross it, it has nothing to do with you, and the quantum sea can only accommodate a stray dog."

Very smart, worthy of being a researcher of Mei's level.

Ryan sighed a little. Vita had revealed the basis for their cooperation. He had no interest in the Quantum Sea and no energy to explore it. It was just a temporary shelter for mankind.

If we cross the end, of course we will take everyone out. If we can't cross it, we will die sooner or later. No one can stop Suo in the quantum sea.

"Personally, I still hope that you can lead Earth's civilization to cross the End. After all, the pain of regret is unforgettable. Since you have helped me, you deserve a more perfect ending. But if you fail, I hope you won't live in humiliation, because Suo has been touched, and you might as well die in the hands of the End."

"This woman is arrogant. Is she teaching you how to do things?" Mebius was immediately unhappy. She had talked to May about it. If it didn't work, she would knock Ryan unconscious and kick him into the Quantum Sea.

Ryan was not so angry. He knew that everything in the world had already been marked with a value, and any changes made had an implicit cost.

In the original world line, this Suo would probably not be encountered until after the Great Sage Qi Tian, ​​so naturally it would not have any impact on Kevin and others. The quantum sea is too large, and the more than a thousand years that Kevin was trapped is nothing at all.

But he was different. The butterfly effect was never one-sided. He got Venus's legacy and had an extra way to face the end, but the price was that he touched Sua in advance.

Even if it's a pig, it's impossible for it to have no reaction for 50,000 years.

"Okay, Vita is not talking nonsense. If she is really targeted by Suo, she might come to me for help. It will be beneficial for her to cross the end." Ryan didn't know what impact the plan made 50,000 years in advance would have on Vita.

"To you?"

"Well, I'm no match for Suo in the Quantum Sea, but if I really cross the end, Suo won't dare to jump out of the sea to find me." Ryan nodded confidently and took out a test tube from the box. It was filled with blue liquid, the color of the sea.

"No matter what she thinks, I owe her this favor first. The test tube contains the genetic extract of a high-level quantum beast, which is the key you need."

The gem-like blue reflected in Mebius' eyes revealed a certain greed and excitement. Ryan's fusion surgery had been delayed for a long time, and the biggest reason was her stubbornness.

Mobius felt that even a Law-Ending-level Honkai Beast would not be enough to perform surgery on this man, and something more special was needed. So he changed the surgical plan again and again, and it was the journey to the Quantum Sea that gave him the inspiration.

She held the test tube tightly, her snake eyes flickering, and she felt that all the brain cells that died from staying up late for days had value, and she created a unique fusion warrior.

'Aren't you afraid that she will harm you?'

This thought was extinguished as soon as it appeared. As Ryan said, oaths are useless and friendship is too naive. What is truly unbreakable is interest, which can never be faked.

"Give me one day to fuse the α171 factor with your serum extract and use it as a basis to complete the super-mutation factor."

"Well, what's the success rate?"

"It's zero for others, but one hundred percent for you, unless you don't trust my skills." Mebius rolled her eyes. She knew Ryan was very cautious and would rather not do it than do anything reckless.

"Then I'm relieved." Ryan said nothing more and nodded gently, "Let me help, it will be more efficient."

"Oh, now you remember your identity as a lifelong assistant?" Mabius emphasized the adjective "lifelong", even though she had never paid him a salary.

The eagerness is written all over his face, which shows how much this platypus loves to exploit me.

Ryan decisively gave up struggling, turned his wrist, and handed the tactical terminal to Mebius to take a look. The red "cloud" had wiped out all traces of life in Britain.

"The decisive battle is approaching, we must hurry up."

Chapter 5 Hua's Heart (K)

Ryan plunged into the laboratory and shut down all communications, but at this time, even Mei would not question it.

The critical point is approaching. After Alicia's identity is exposed, it is only a matter of time before the end comes. Ryan usually lives a leisurely life, but at the critical moment, he returns to his previous state of being a top student.

He was focused, hardworking, and had no distractions. Even Mebius was surprised that this man didn't get obsessed with the physical pleasure after getting some benefits, and he even became cold towards him.

Shame on me, when did I become so tacky?

Looking at Ryan who was constantly analyzing data and hadn't even looked at him once the whole day, Mebius bit his lip, having a feeling of depravity.

What was I expecting? What was I thinking? I was the best scientist in the world.

With pride in his bones, Mebius regained his focus, as if he wanted to compete with Ryan. Klein, who was assisting, saw this and was infected by this work attitude that raced against time, but also found it very funny.

They complain about Dr. Mei and Kevin all day long, but aren't they also a weird couple? They are less than ten centimeters apart, but all they spew out are cold data, and they even feel more distant than usual.

Klein wanted to watch the show at first, but after a day and a night, she and Danzhu and others were no longer in the mood. They were working at an extremely fast pace every minute, and their physical and mental stress had reached their limits.

Hey.

The coffee fell into his palm. After Ryan unscrewed the bottle, he glanced at the women who were sleeping on the table.

"Klein and the others are too weak. They've already fallen in less than two days. Can they be considered fusion warriors?"

"The intensity of our work has long surpassed that of humans. Even fusion warriors cannot maintain concentration for a long time." Mebius defended his subordinates, holding the table and trying his best to hide his tired face. "There is only 10% left to complete the super mutation factor fusion. Are you relieved?"

"Haha, your endurance is far inferior to mine. Don't force yourself. If you want to rest, just go ahead. One or two days won't matter."

"Who said I'm tired! The break time is over, start the next step immediately!" Mebius glared and threw the empty coffee can into the trash can, thinking that he had taken the opportunity to give this bastard a break, but he dared not appreciate it.

But we have to admit that this is a monster, and he has extremely high attainments in data statistics, is tireless, and does not require a salary. He can be called the most useful tool man in the research world!

Ryan didn't expect to be 'praised' again. He flicked his fingers and flicked the empty can into the trash can. He leaned on the table and looked at the busy figure not far away.

"Mobius, do you feel nostalgic?"

Mobius paused as he was mixing the reagents, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

A few years ago, in the basement of the Far East Branch, the two people who had just met were researching fusion surgery. At first, she just wanted to find an opportunity to knock Ryan unconscious, but gradually, she found that the other party was not just a mysterious identity.

Intelligence, knowledge, concentration, and research ability all give her a sense of similarity, and together they create an opportunity to move from acquaintance to in-depth understanding.

Then I just looked at the stupid ass who was attracted by the carrot and slowly fell into control?

"What are you missing? You're working now, so be serious!"

Tsk, I wanted to communicate with you about my feelings, but you rejected me.

Ryan rolled his eyes and happened to see the slightly red cheeks through the hair, and he couldn't help but turn his anger into laughter.

It seems that she is missing him.

......

"The Ruler of Constraint has begun to act, but Senior Brother is not here yet."

By the lake, Hua sat upright on a bench, his back straight, his hands clenched into fists on his thighs.

He watched in a daze as the elevator transported countless ammunition to the ground, felt the slight vibration, and looked back. It was a whole team of mechas in action.

The highest level of combat alert, the Fire Moths have gathered 80% of their strength, and the remaining 20% ​​is right in Haiyuan City.

The breath of war was blowing towards her. Even though she had been through many battles, she could still feel her heart beating fast, as if she knew that this Herrscher was completely different from before, and as if she could smell the end was approaching.

This is terrible. Many people will surely die. Will my brother be among them? Will I be among them? And he is undergoing a fusion operation. Will there be any problems?

Nothing must happen to my brother, he is too important now, damn it, I have to pray for Mebius.

"Ryan is always cautious. Even though he's so strong, he's still looking for new strength." Kevin was daydreaming, with his hands on the back of the chair, sighing, "It's really painful to keep up with him. He always thinks things are very pessimistic and tries his best to become stronger."

He had just been transferred back from Haiyuan City, ready to fight against the Ruler of Constraint.

Hua immediately showed an expression of understanding. Finally someone understood his pain. He finally completed the artificial collapse, but he was not happy for a few minutes before Ryan went to pursue new power.

"So just accept your fate. We can't catch up with him." Kevin seemed to have accepted his fate and patted Hua's shoulder gently.

"But my senior brother said that if anyone can surpass him, it must be you."

"Really? Wow, he wouldn't want to mess with me, would he? He's giving me face like this." Kevin was startled, then he smiled, but soon the smile turned bitter. He looked at the warships circling on the lake with lifeless eyes, "It's indeed possible, but I don't want this opportunity, so forget it."

"Why? Don't you want to surpass your senior brother?"

"I'm not Qianjie, why should I be so hard on myself? Besides, growth means pain. If I want to surpass Ryan, the pain will be unimaginable..."

Hua's eyes gradually widened. In her impression, Kevin was always sunny and passionate, just like a brave hero in the game. She vaguely felt that there was unlimited potential that could be tapped.

But the senior brother did not stimulate his potential. This could have been much easier.

Hua thought so in her heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. She knew Kevin was Dr. Mei's lover, and no one would want to let their lover suffer, just like herself.

Before she could think of a response, she heard leaves rustling and a head suddenly popped out from the grass.

"Hmph, when did you become a philosopher? You keep saying those incomprehensible nonsense." Qianjie walked over coldly. Deputy captain Liu Dezina clung to him like a koala and no matter how hard he tried to pull her back, she wouldn't stop. Sparks flew from the friction on the soles of his shoes.

"This bullshit waiting is so boring. Come, accompany me to the deepest place to stretch your body!"

"Uh... the Ruler of Constraint is already over the Atlantic Ocean, so let's just forget it." Kevin's scalp tingled. He felt that he shouldn't have shown off in front of Hua, and now he was getting his comeuppance.

"Shit, his speed isn't increasing. We still have time for two rounds of fighting. The snake said that in order to complete the man-made collapse, we must go through life and death. Apart from him, I can only find you!"

Qianjiecai didn't want to listen to the explanation and dragged Kevin away before he could resist. The white-haired young man raised his hands while struggling, clearly saying, "Go find Mei to save me."

Hua blinked, and remembered that Qianjie was in high spirits, so he decisively clasped his hands together and prayed for him.

Kevin, just go with peace of mind. This must have been arranged by Dr. Mei.

The new super-mutation factor has been injected. Just as Qianjie said, if you want to cause an artificial collapse, you have to go through life and death. If you can cross it, your strength will increase dramatically. If you can't cross it, then you will die.

Now every upper-level fusion warrior has been injected, and everyone is waiting for an opportunity.

At this point, she couldn't help but recall the flash of a knife, and she felt a chill all over her body. Sister Ying's knife was truly terrifying. If it weren't for the obsession in her heart, she would have died.

"Ah, it happens that Sister Ying is also a rival. She is very different from Mebius. I am really afraid of her."

The girl was in a dilemma. She knew she couldn't win but she had no choice but to go on. She simply stood up and walked towards the lake.

Not long after, she passed by the lakeside villa, paused for a moment, and did not walk in that direction. Since Ryan locked the door, no one had returned to the Golden Courtyard, and she was not qualified to open the door.

But Hua didn't leave either. A shadow flickered and someone happened to climb over the fence.

"Kosmo, what are you doing here?"

"I'll get some things." Kosmo had just been transferred back from Haiyuan City. As usual, he gave a brief answer and then stood still with his hands behind his back.

Hua said "Oh", and then stood there like a wooden stake, their eyes met, and no one spoke.

The atmosphere was frozen. Everyone was talking in their hearts but no one showed it on the surface. It was not until another dark figure climbed over the fence that they all looked in the direction at the same time.

"I really admire you two. Are you going to stare at each other like this until tomorrow?" Alicia turned over, bent down and patted the leaves on her stockings, and pressed Kosmo and Hua's heads at the same time, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you just guessing here?"

In fact, Hua was also worried. Kosmo always had a cool expression on his face. God knew what he was thinking. Anyway, he couldn't say a word.

"Sister Ai Li, are you back to the Golden Courtyard?"

"I just went to the yard with Kosmo to get some things. The door was locked by Ryan, and only he has the right to open it."

Is there any connection between the two?

Hua didn’t quite understand. It was like some kind of unspoken rule that no one came back to live here again, but as long as they praised Ryan, they were good friends.

"What are you taking so mysteriously?"
