Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"..." Considering that Fuyou had made great contributions and had put in a lot of effort in escorting Klein and Mei, Mebius decided not to argue with him. He walked to the side and sat down with a gloomy face.

"By the way, where is Wei Erwei? Did you catch her?" Fu You asked out of curiosity.

"Heh, that prisoner... After all, she's just one person. How could she possibly stand against the entire force of the Fire Moth? I would have apprehended her long ago while you were at Qianyu Academy."

He raised his head triumphantly. Mebius would definitely punish severely anyone like Velvi who dared to interfere with his experimental process.

"She's still in jail... If she passes the review, she'll have the chance to join the Fire Moths, but there's no time for a review right now."

At this point, Mebius laughed with a gloating look.

"However, due to the sudden occurrence of the Third Honkai Impact, Alicia was urgently transferred by the higher-ups. She won't be able to appear as the guarantor at the review originally scheduled for tomorrow, so the review can only be postponed~" At this moment, Mebius was in a very good mood. The always noisy Alicia left, and the prisoner Velvet had to stay in jail for a few more days. For her, it was a double happiness.

"Going to jail? Vilvi won't run away anymore?" Looking at the proud Mobius, Fu You inexplicably thought of Vilvi's previous experience of escaping from prison.

"Tsk, I wonder what kind of magic potion Alicia gave her, she actually stayed quietly in the cell and had no intention of escaping..." Hearing this, Mebius sneered and spoke, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Hey, what do you think? If I learn the tone of voice of Alicia, will it be more efficient to communicate with others?" On a whim, Mebius asked Fuyou.

"If you, Doctor, speak to other people in the base in the tone of Alicia, you will probably be considered to have bad intentions, right?" After thinking about it with some difficulty, Fu You finally chose to tell the truth.

"Tsk, how boring..." Mobius pouted, looking away. Even if Fu You didn't respond, she knew what was going on. The director of the First Research Institute, always known as "the devil," suddenly changed his ways, becoming enthusiastic towards everyone. This was probably counterproductive. Besides, it was just a whim on Mobius's part. If she really tried to imitate Alicia, she wouldn't be able to keep it up.

"Okay, the handover is done. Are you still staying here, waiting for me to invite you to dinner?" Knowing that his beloved Mei had safely arrived at the Fire Moth base, Mebius was ready to continue his research.

"It's not impossible... Doctor, what are we going to eat tonight?" After thinking for a moment, Fu You asked, knowing that only those with thick skin can get free food and drinks everywhere.

"You..." As if shocked by the other party's shamelessness, Mebius looked at the smiling Fu You in astonishment, feeling a little at a loss.

"Alas... this is the last of my stock. Since you insist on staying, let's have this tonight..." With great difficulty, Mebius pulled out two buckets of instant noodles and, reluctantly, placed them on the table. This was a mistake... When I sent Klein to buy bubble wrap, I should have asked him to bring back another box of instant noodles.

"Doctor, is this what we're eating for dinner?" Looking at the other person with pity, Fu You shook his head in disgust.

"Poor thing..." "Hey, I'm glad I gave you a bucket, why are you so ungrateful?" Feeling offended, Mebius immediately became unhappy.

"What's wrong with instant noodles? What's wrong with them? They're easy, quick, and allow me to devote more time to research... and save money, too."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, Fu You could hardly hear what Mebius said.

ps: Which genius invented the longbow to save life? The Ultramarine and Grit the Teeth passed it in one go, and it only took three labors.

Chapter 221 Kevin, attack!

"Doctor, I'm sorry I can't accept a dinner consisting solely of instant noodles. I won't disturb you from enjoying your instant noodles... I'm leaving now!" Fu You had no regard for Mobius's instant noodles. While it was a few more steps to walk to the staff cafeteria, at least he could get a proper meal. So, without a second thought, Fu You said goodbye and instantly rushed out of the First Research Institute.

"Tsk, what a clueless fellow..." Mobius curled his lips and threw the bucket of instant noodles back into the box, a flicker of luck on his face. Great, Fu You went to the staff cafeteria to eat, and he could save another bucket of instant noodles for tomorrow.

"But, when Klein wakes up, ask her to buy me another box."

Mebius muttered as he glanced at the silent operating room.

"Fu You, you're finally back!" In the staff cafeteria, Kevin finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Fu You return. After all, this was the first time for him and Mei, and they were unfamiliar with the place. Once Fu You left, he almost didn't know what to do.

"I've already told Dr. Mebius about your entry into the base. I guess it won't be long before someone comes to show Mei the way."

Signaling the other party not to be anxious, Fu You spoke slowly.

"That's good... uh, what about me? With Mei?" Just after nodding, Kevin realized that the other party seemed to only mention Mei.

"Kevin, you're just a new recruit now, so don't expect to get the same treatment as Mei."

Looking at Kevin, Fu You chuckled, his tone was calm, but extremely cruel.

"Be prepared to follow me to the battlefield, our prince."

"..." Hearing this, Kevin was speechless. Did he really have to fight those monsters? According to Fu You, even the behemoth he had defeated with all his might was nothing in the disaster called "Honkai," and was even a low-level existence among those monsters. If he encountered the previously mentioned [Emperor-level Honkai Beast], or even the possible [Judgment-level Honkai Beast], could he really survive them? Looking at Mei, then at Fu You, Kevin hesitated. A few days ago, he was just a high school student living a happy life. He never imagined that he would be sucked into such a vortex, and even have to fight for his life with monsters.

"If you want to stay in Fire Moth as a warrior and protect your beloved Mei, you must learn to fight, Kevin. Sooner or later, the Honkai will spread across the world, and you can't hide from it."

As if seeing Kevin's hesitation, Fu You said devilishly, "...Okay, I'll go with you!" Gritting his teeth, Kevin decided to go all out for Mei.

"That's right. Don't worry, you won't die in this collapse, and neither will I."

Patting the other person's shoulder, Fu You spoke in a decisive tone.

"Huh, I hope so..." Covering his face, Kevin recalled the apocalyptic scene in Changkong City, which could no longer be described as a "natural disaster." Could the collapse... really be overcome by human power? "It doesn't matter. Think about it, at least we can still have a good meal in the restaurant before heading to the front lines."

He took the glass of juice and compared to the anxious Kevin, Fu You seemed much more open-minded.

"Uh...I can't seem to eat it anymore."

Seeing the familiar figure in a hurry, Fu You murmured, and then quickly drank the juice in the cup.

"You're finally back, Fu You!" Hen breathed a sigh of relief as he walked to Fu You's side.

"This collapse has affected almost the entire Far East. The Fire Moths don't have enough manpower, and the communications seem to have been disrupted by the collapse. Damn it..." While cursing, Hen suddenly noticed Mei and Kevin.

"New faces... Who are these two?" Turning to look at Fu You, Hen asked puzzledly.

"The person chosen by Mebius—and her boyfriend."

Signaling Kevin and Mei not to panic, Fu Youxiang briefly explained the situation.

"Kevin is a new recruit I'm planning to recommend to join the Fire Moth. Yes, that handsome boy with white hair... He's ready to go into battle. Don't worry, Hen."

"In that case, let him come with you."

After thinking about it, Hen made a decision on his own.

"Are you going to kill him? With me? I don't think a rookie can participate in a crusade against the Herrscher."

Fu You, believing he would be assigned to the core area of ​​Honkai, expressed his dissent. Even if Kevin became powerful in the future, he was still just an ordinary person. ...Yes, a mere ordinary person who defeated a tank-class Honkai beast with a baseball bat.

"No, you don't need to go to the core area of ​​the Honkai outbreak this time, Fu You. Your mission is to go to Canghai City to rescue the survivors."

In response to Fu You's misunderstanding, Hen made the other party's mission clear.

"Oh? A rescue mission... I get it."

Upon hearing the Fire Moth's plan for him, Fu You was slightly taken aback. They hadn't even sent him to the core area to subjugate the Herrscher? Or did the Fire Moth think Alicia alone was enough? But recalling his own performance against Ganesha and during his daily training, Fu You immediately understood the reason. Perhaps the Fire Moth's leaders were truly unaware of their true strength and had misjudged it. However, this was exactly what Fu You wanted—he had no desire for something as thankless as subjugating the Herrscher. It was better to leave such tasks to those warriors with a strong sense of responsibility.

"Is that so... What about the Herrscher? This time, who does Fire Moth plan to send to defeat the third Herrscher?" After hearing Fire Moth's arrangement for him, Fu You understood, and then asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"Of course it's Alicia! After all, she should be very experienced in subjugating Herrschers."

He laughed heartily, and it seemed that Hen was full of confidence in Alicia.

"Of course, I believe you also have the ability to defeat the Herrscher...but who told you not to be in the base at that time?" Hen added, shrugging his shoulders.

"Oh, you really flatter me. Forget it, you still want to attack the Herrscher? Fighting against that Ganesha almost cost me my life."

Shaking his head, Fu You sneered.

"Let Alicia go. Why leave professional matters to professionals?" "Haha, you are too modest..." Hen mentioned it casually after remembering something.

"By the way, this time we're going to Canghai City, the Fifth Squad will be traveling together... We went to Australia together last time. Himiko is an old acquaintance of ours, so I won't introduce her in detail."

"As for the new recruits that have recently been accepted into the base, they are now under your command."

"Me? Fine, fine... just consider it as a reward for being more capable."

Looking back at Kevin, Fu You reminded him.

"Kevin, did you hear me? Our mission is to rescue people. Let Hen take you to the equipment room to pick out a weapon. Don't use that baseball bat.

"Aren't we going to rescue people? Why do we need to bring weapons?" Scratching his head, Kevin frowned slightly, and couldn't help showing a look of confusion.

"I don't think those Houkai beasts and the Death Warriors will just sit there and watch you save people without doing anything. If you think you can get close to them, then you really don't need to bring weapons."

Slowly standing up, Fu You knew that he would not be able to have dinner.

"Pack up and get ready to go."

"Okay, you're right..." Suddenly, Kevin was speechless.

Chapter 222 The Best Warrior

"Captain Himiko, we meet again."

Fu You enthusiastically greeted the woman with fiery red hair in front of him and entered the aircraft.

"Yes... we meet again."

Himiko had a complicated expression. She had not forgotten Fu You, the ruthless man who had landed from 10,000 meters without a parachute and remained unscathed. Not long ago, the young man in front of her was still a new recruit, but in the blink of an eye, he began to lead other new recruits. While marveling at her, Himiko couldn't help but wonder: Why was he assigned here? "By the way, aren't you going to participate in the crusade against the Herrscher? Isn't it a bit of a waste of your talent to join us in the rescue mission..." "Haha, professional matters should be left to professionals. Alicia is the hero who successfully conquered the Second Herrscher. Of course, she will be the main force against the Third Herrscher."

That being said, Fu You didn't think that Alicia would really go all out to defeat the Third Herrscher. After all, the first two Honkai Impacts didn't cause much of a stir, and the Fire Moth's leaders didn't even pay much attention to them. The third Honkai Impact was different, as the entire Far East region was affected, which was enough to demonstrate the power of the Third Herrscher. If Alicia could continue to successfully defeat the Third Herrscher head-on, this power beyond the scope of humans would inevitably be suspected by the Fire Moth's leaders. Although watching the fire from the other side of the river might lead to more deaths, in Fu You's opinion, keeping a low profile was the most appropriate choice. But the other party was Alicia after all... that erratic guy, what would he choose? At this point, Fu You was a little confused.

"Alisa? Indeed, she's a powerful warrior, and seems to be very warm and welcoming to everyone at the base."

Himiko sighed, thinking of the pink-haired girl who was very popular.

"Not only is he talented, he's also incredibly hardworking and has absolutely no flaws... This is the first time I've met such a perfect person."

"Perfect? ​​Perhaps..." Fu You remained noncommittal about Himiko's opinion. He always believed that Alissa's actions were merely a cover-up for her true purpose. Although he didn't know her true purpose, and her actions were always for the benefit of humanity, Fu You subconsciously kept a wary eye on Alissa. After all, if he were backstabbed by his comrades again, all these years would have been wasted. Fu You understood the principle of learning from failure.

"The new recruits over there look very nervous. Why don't you say a few words to them?" Looking at the new recruits whispering in the aircraft, Himiko looked at Fuyou and suggested.

"Okay, then I'll go and say a few words..." Fu You slowly stood up and walked in front of the group of recruits.

"Hey! New recruits, all look at me!" Under the curious or nervous gazes of the recruits present, Fu You cleared his throat and pointed in Kevin's direction.

"Ahem, I know most of you have never been on a battlefield, or even seen a Honkai beast in person, so I have one request of you—you are not allowed to escape!" "But Captain, what exactly does the Honkai look like when it arrives? Uh... I've only seen the ruins after the Honkai in the information at the base."

A brave recruit in the crowd asked a question, and most of the other recruits were also curious about it.

"Kevin, you came from the center of Changkong City. Tell us what it was like when the collapse came."

Fu You didn't say it explicitly, but picked out Kevin, who was also a new recruit.

"...The end of the world. It's almost the end of the world."

As if recalling a bad experience, Kevin lowered his head and spoke in a dull voice.

"The sky turned blood red, the city was burning... People fled, but were torn to pieces by hideous monsters... I escaped from that inferno only by sheer luck."

"There is only disaster and destruction, and prosperity is buried in rubble...After the collapse, there is nothing else."

After saying this in a dejected mood, Kevin noticed that some of the recruits were becoming increasingly nervous.

"That's true, Kevin, but we are the Fire Moths and will not be slaughtered by the Honkai."

After patting Kevin, Fu You turned to the recruits, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Today, we mourn for our compatriots who were killed in the Far East. Tomorrow, we will make Honkai pay the price!" Fu You began with a heavy voice, his sharp eyes sweeping over every recruit.
