Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Pioneers, never back down!

Just like a flash of lightning, the nearly two meter long Honkai beast was directly pierced through.

All distracting thoughts were cut off by this shot. In the thick atmosphere of Honkai, Ryan heart was filled with a desire for the unknown. He felt that he had entered a pure state. He didn't think about anything, just -

Draw the gun, turn around, and pick!

A 'knight' that had just pierced through the floor took off instantly, its head stuck in the ceiling, and half of its body swung back and forth. Ryan didn't even look at it, but raised his spear above his head with both hands and danced with it, as fast as a shield.

Bang, bang, bang…

Several "mosquitoes" rushed out of the pipe and hit it. The next moment, these half human sized Honkai beasts were flung away one after another, smashing various instruments to the ground and emitting azure arcs of electricity.

Ryan took a step forward, holding the gun in one hand, and was attracted by the rumbling heavy footsteps. He vaguely saw a huge shadow emerging from the end of the corridor. It was lying on the ground, two or three meters high, filling the corridor.

Just like a chariot, slowly approaching.

"A tank class Honkai beast, judging by its size, it's a small species."

With a slight frown on his brows, Ryan stretched out his spear, picked up the instruments scattered around, letting these hundreds of pounds of iron blocks fly in the air, and then kicked them with his foot.

Whoosh whoosh——

He used the instrument worth millions of euros as a hidden weapon. Under the huge force, the speed was extremely fast. The "chariot" quickly stopped and crossed its big hands in front of its head.

Boom, boom!

The force was enough to flatten a car, but it only caused the Honkai Beast to retreat repeatedly, with some shallow pits appearing on its arms.

The shell of the tank class Honkai beast was strong enough to withstand anti-material rifles, but as soon as its hind legs touched the ground, the electronic components and debris in the air were pierced by the red spiral.

Ryan slid in front of him and thrust out his spear without hesitation, staring straight at the spiral that crushed his arms and went straight into the head of the Honkai Beast. The remaining Honkai energy penetrated his body and crushed another knight-level Honkai Beast behind it into minced meat.

Physical strength is of little use in this world; controlling Honkai energy is the key. Just like the Honkai bomb of the Fire Moth, its destructive power is much stronger than that of ordinary thermal weapons.

" Scientifically speaking, it is to concentrate and accelerate the Honkai energy to form a drill like breakthrough point at the top." Ryan smiled with satisfaction. There is no such thing as a mysterious mystery in the world. It is nothing more than the application of physical knowledge.

What I learned from my previous travels in China were physical skills, but the doctoral degree is the source of power.

Ryan drew out his spear, turned around, and saw that the glass in the control room had completely exploded. A knight level Honkai beast was flying out. The smile on his face froze again.

I take back what I said before. Some people don't follow science at all.

Whoosh whoosh.

Kevin was holding a baseball bat and breathing heavily. He heard the noise and rushed down without thinking.

Then he saw a white skinned monster about to attack Mei. He picked up the baseball bat by the door and hit it away with all his strength. When he came to his senses, his mind went blank.

What is that? Am I dreaming because I've watched too many movies?

Kevin was completely confused. He looked up bewilderedly and became even more confused when he saw the scene inside the laboratory.

In the chaos, there were several equally bizarre corpses everywhere. At the end of the corridor, a familiar figure was looking back, and behind him was another even larger monster.

"Ryan? H-Is he Superman?"

Mei, who had changed into protective clothing, glanced at the Honkai beast that was knocked away and thought to herself, "You're not bad either." Fortunately, she knew very well what the focus was now.

"Kevin, now is not the time to talk about this, let's get out of here."

"Oh, okay, let's get out of here quickly." Even though he was full of questions, Kevin still obeyed her orders. But as soon as he stood up, he leaped and pushed Mei to the ground.

"careful!"

Bang--

The wall bulged and shattered, and another huge Honkai beast arched out with its fist raised high. Kevin immediately hugged Mei and used his back to block the punch, but he heard a sharp explosion in the air, and then the whole control room shook.

Kevin opened his eyes and looked back, only to see that the monster had been nailed to the wall, with a black spear trembling slightly on its chest.

The familiar figure was standing in front of him, reaching out to pull out the spear.

So fast...

Kevin couldn't understand how he could stand in front of him in the blink of an eye when the corridor was hundreds of meters away.

puff.

The spear was drawn, the body fell to the ground, Ryan turned around, his face still had his usual gentle and indifferent smile: "I know you two have a lot of problems, but now is not the time to tangle with these. Follow me, I will take you out."

"etc."

Ryan stopped immediately and looked back with a frown: "Mei, it's not like you to be long winded."

"I just ask one thing, why did you save us? Wouldn't it be faster for you to escape?" Mei knew that Ryan would not sacrifice himself for others, and had nothing to do with the Virgin Mary. Just like in the research, his rationality would only make the most efficient choice.

"It proves that you don't understand me well enough. I've said before, I don't have many friends, and rationality is just a tool. If you want to completely transform into a humanoid computer, you will lose the courage to explore." Ryan said nothing more, picked up his gun and left, and when he got into the escape passage, he added one more sentence in his heart.

Besides, even from a purely rational point of view, you two cannot die.

He vaguely remembered that Kevin and Mei were affected only after the third Honkai. In other words, the butterfly effect had begun to appear. The pioneers did not believe in fate, so Ryan dared not leave it alone.

There was no falsehood in this answer. Mei hesitated for a moment and then quickly followed.

The electricity had been cut off, with only the dim light of the emergency lights remaining underground. The three climbed up the escape stairs, with Ryan clearing the way and answering some questions.

For example, those monsters will appear randomly within the range of "Honkai". No place is safe. If you want to escape from danger, you must escape from the range of "natural disaster".

Mei was not afraid at all, it was more like she had opened the door to a new world. Her eyes were filled with endless curiosity. Kevin seemed silent, completely losing his usual lively attitude.

She saw Ryan spear piercing through the dead man, looked at the somewhat familiar face, closed his eyes, and secretly pinched his thigh with his hand.

It hurts, this is not a dream...

A chill ran down his back, and he seemed to feel that his peaceful daily life was over and the world was sliding in a disgusting and unfamiliar direction.

Bang!

The heavy blast proof door dented, then flew out, knocking over several 'mosquitoes'. Before they could get up, the falling men had already trampled them into pieces.

"What a big scene. Luckily it's a holiday today so there aren't many people in the school."

Ryan looked around and saw that the campus was filled with thick smoke in the middle of the night. The flames shot up into the sky and illuminated the night sky. The sound of buildings collapsing could be heard from everywhere, but there were no screams. It was so strange and unsettling.

Invisible energy enveloped the central area of ​​the academy. People within this range would either die or turn into monsters. Ordinary people had no chance of resistance. Even if there were a few lucky ones, they would be found and killed.

"I thought it was the end of the world." Mei took a step forward, her eyes full of strangeness. You know, she had agreed to take a walk with Kevin a few hours ago.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Is it useful to be afraid? It's just like doing an experiment. If you encounter an accident, you should find the problem and then try your best to solve it. You should be very clear about this logic."

Rational and pure, no wonder he can become a savior like figure.

Ryan showed some appreciation. No wonder Mei didn't ask common sense questions like what "Honkai" is. Obviously, she knew that her life would be turned upside down after tonight, and she had plenty of time to figure out the reason.

Since Mei was so sensible, he didn't bother to argue anymore and just stood there like the computer had crashed.

"Ryan, what are you still standing there for?" Kevin looked around nervously. He could see blurry shadows in the night and knew without asking that the monsters were coming towards him.

Some of the shadows were as big as houses, some staggered forward like zombies from a horror movie, and the young man couldn't help but make the baseball bat crackle.

"wait."

"Waiting for what?"

Boom boom boom...

Before he could finish his words, a series of explosions completely shattered the silent night. The three of them subconsciously turned their heads and saw a series of fireballs rising in the south, illuminating several giant monsters that were blown into pieces, as well as an armed helicopter humming through the sky.

The Fire Moth has finally arrived, and it reacts very quickly.

Ryan was relieved and pointed in the direction of the fire: "Kevin, take Mei and retreat from that side. Be smart and don't get killed by humans."

The two men were not stupid and obviously knew that the army was here to deal with it. However, Mei thought more deeply and judged from the speed of their reaction that they were well prepared.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Kevin ran a few steps with his girlfriend, then turned back in surprise: "Ryan, what are you doing?"

"Of course I am here to attract firepower for you. Otherwise, if you are entangled by the Honkai Beast, the Fire Moth will cover you with firepower without hesitation." Ryan jumped off the twisted iron gate and headed north with a gun in hand.

The tip of the gun rubbed against the ground, creating sparks, and the straight back looked like a charging knight. Kevin took a look and felt extremely strange and yet extremely familiar. The time he spent with Ryan flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Likes to play missing, rarely talks to others except for a few friends, often lets others down with just a few words, sometimes very insidious, but in the final analysis -

That man never backed down.
