Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Far East Branch

Whoosh whoosh…

At daybreak, Ryan and Kevin ran straight from Qianyu Academy to the outskirts of Changkong City. In front of them was a high wall with barbed wire. Helicopters kept roaring through the sky. Soldiers with live ammunition sat on the edge of the cabin, looking at the two figures below in confusion.

The Far East branch of the Fire Moths is located in the suburbs. It was originally an air force base, covering thousands of acres. Its two runways can take off and land heavy transport aircraft, and the underground has been hollowed out, which is enough to support the security of the entire Far East.

"Ryan, you can really run." Kevin held his knees and gasped for breath. He ran for dozens of kilometers in one breath, and even he was a little tired.

"You're far from being an athlete. In fact, my physical fitness is not much better than yours." Ryan was at ease and didn't even sweat.

"Why?"

"you guess."

Damn, this bastard is so cocky.

Kevin gritted his teeth and hurried to catch up. The two of them performed pupil scans at the gate. After confirming their identities, the gate slowly opened. As soon as he entered, Ryan saw a busy scene.

The road was lined with tanks and armored vehicles, with rows of gun barrels pointing at the sky at forty-five degrees. Fighter planes loaded with missiles were taking off and landing on the runway. On the other side of the runway was a training ground where a group of recruits were carrying logs to exercise.

Thousands of members, complete heavy weapons, and some special forces equipped with epoch-making weapons, this is the power of the Fire Moth, and there are more than 30 similar branches.

'No wonder there are so many internal conflicts. This kind of strength is enough to overthrow the regime. No wonder the League of Nations wants to cause trouble at the slightest opportunity.'

Putting aside military strength and high technology, the maintenance costs of these weapons alone are astronomical, and this money is not earned by the Fire Moth itself.

"It's amazing, isn't it? Just like in the movies." Kevin also came forward, looking shocked. "Look, there's a fleet of heavy aircraft taking off over there. It looks like they're heading north?"

Ryan turned his head and saw several transport planes loaded with infantry fighting vehicles taxiing, while several fighter planes were circling overhead.

"For mid level or above Honkai beasts, this kind of firepower is more than enough to deal with lower-level Honkai beasts." Ryan retracted his gaze. He never underestimated human technology.

Those Honkai beasts don't have any 'mysterious' protection. If they can't be killed, it only proves that their firepower is not strong enough. Even the Honkai Emperor can't withstand a 2,000-kilogram laser guided bomb.

But it is different for the Herrscher. It is not a difference in strength, but a difference in power.

"Let's go, I've seen more big scenes than you."

"Tell me about the big scene."

"A few years ago in Shenzhou, an emperor level Honkai beast appeared. That thing was able to interfere with the signal, and it was finally dealt with by an 18-inch cannon. Let me tell you, that cannonball was really powerful."

The two talked as they walked, and the soldiers passing by ignored them. The death rate of the Fire Moths was too high, especially for these noisy recruits. Out of self-protection, no one wanted to make friends.

After chatting and laughing, they soon arrived in front of a four-story building. The roof was densely packed with satellite antennas, and there was a silver Fire Moth emblem on the wall.

"I'm here. Go and rest. You'll have training in a few hours." Ryan saw a short-haired girl standing by the door. It was Lieutenant Rose whom he had met before.

"Damn it, why do I have to sleep in a tent? By the way, Ryan, can I ask you for a favor?" Kevin scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "If you have time, can you teach me some skills? After all, you are pretty good."

"No problem, I'll come to you after I finish dealing with this. After all, I'm your senior." Ryan smiled, and then saw Kevin gritting his teeth but unable to vent his anger, so he could only turn around and leave, and then he smiled even more happily.

However, Kevin suggestion is very good. On the one hand, it can increase his combat power to protect himself, and on the other hand, Ryan can find a way to escape from Mobius.

Mobius, you think you've won? You'll have to bear the consequences.

Just as his mood was rapidly deteriorating, the lieutenant came to his side and took the luggage lightly. Ryan glanced at the young-looking girl and frowned, "Lieutenant, have you also undergone physical transformation?"

This physical transformation is the main project of Mobius. It has now gone through several generations, from the simplest bioelectric stimulation to the experiment of using Honkai energy on suitable people. It can be regarded as a preliminary attempt at the Fusion Warrior Project.

Science has always been a step by-step process. Even something as simple as a light bulb requires a lot of prerequisite technology.

"Well, moderate transformation. I'm not an office worker." The girl pointed at Kevin back with a cold expression. "He has good potential. The instructors gave him all A. maybe he will be able to carry out combat missions next month. If he survives, he will become a veteran."

"Kevin will definitely survive." Ryan didn't even think about it.

The girl's thin lips moved slightly, and her left eye flashed with envy and contempt. In the end, she only said: "I hope so, Dr. Ryan, please follow me."

The two walked into the building, and the interior was even more sci-fi. The corridors and ceilings were made of alloy, and both sides were filled with pipes. When the gate was closed, it even blocked out the roar of planes outside.

Ryan looked around. It was his first time visiting the Far East Branch, and he found the facilities here were quite good.

Some screens were scrolling mission maps, with red dots of different colors appearing in various places in the Far East. Without asking, one knew that the Honkai was happening. It was a pity that the fate had to be hidden, otherwise Ryan would be willing to accompany the Fire Moth to hunt everywhere.

The sound of military boots hitting the ground continued to be heard, and fully armed soldiers ran past. Those stationed here were all "special countermeasures forces", and the helicopter must have been ready outside.

"The frequency of deployment is quite high."

"It's true that the Honkai has become more and more frequent recently. Mu Continent is ready to provide support, but please rest assured that we have made various plans." Rose did not even turn her head. After the pupil test, the elevator in front of her was unlocked and opened. "Dr. Ryan, let's go to the 35th floor underground."

Ryan then noticed that the girl in front of him was still wearing a tight combat suit, so he nodded slightly and stepped into the elevator.

The lieutenant is very silent, or no matter how extroverted a person is, she will become like this in the endless killing. In a sense, the Honkai is also boring.

It appears suddenly and destroys everything around it. The fire moths that receive the warning rush to deal with it. After destroying it, it comes back to rest, and then the process repeats over and over again. The only change, perhaps, is that the corpses pile up more and more.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The elevator fell rapidly, and the floor numbers kept flashing. The silence of half a minute was suffocating. Ryan did not presume to be a spiritual mentor. He was a man of great ability, and it was good enough for him to keep his friend.

bite.

The elevator door opened, and Ryan immediately saw a Fire Moth logo on the metal wall in front of him, with a circle of small words below it.

[Light yourself up and illuminate the future for mankind]

This is the motto of every Fire Moth warrior, except that most of them here are researchers in white coats.

"Welcome to the Far East Research Department. You need C-level or higher authority to enter here. It's very safe." Rose put down her luggage and pointed to the passage on the left: "Dr. Ryan, this is the dormitory area. You can ask Dr. Mobius where to live. I have to prepare for the attack. Excuse me first."

"Lieutenant."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Ryan looked at the girl who was no more than eighteen years old and pressed the close button for her: "Live well for yourself."

As the door closed, he saw the girl eyes gradually widen and then disappear completely.

Ryan sighed softly. This was one of the reasons why he was reluctant to join the Fire Moth. The person he finally got to know might die tomorrow. If he was lucky, his body would be intact and buried deep in a metal coffin. Even the tombstone might be wrong.

Having been here for too long, he knew that this world was not only dirty and complicated, but also not a place for a few young boys and girls to show off. At the feet of every hero, there were mountains of corpses.

He took a deep breath and put all these things behind him. Maintaining himself in despair had almost become an instinct. He turned around and saw a beautiful woman with milky white hair coming towards him.

She has a plump figure, like a ripe peach, and exudes the aura of a mature woman all over her body.

"Dr. Ryan, I'm Blanca, Dr. Mobius assistant. Please give me your luggage. The room has been cleaned up. Please go to the doctor immediately. She has been waiting for a long time."

"Okay, I'll go find her right away." Ryan was furious, but when he handed the gift to the other party, he warned: "Don't put weird things in my room."

Blanca face suddenly turned bitter: "Don't worry, not everyone is as persistent as the doctor. I often get headaches because of her self-willed behavior."

"Well, you guys have worked so hard." Ryan started walking, then stopped after a few steps. "Where's Mei? Is she here?"

"Dr. Mei is looking for information in the literature room. Do you want me to ask someone from the Physics Department to notify her?"

"No need. We'll meet sooner or later anyway." Ryan turned and left, observing the work environment.

There are not many researchers here, only about a hundred people, and the equipment is not comparable to that of professional research institutes. Most of them are used to process preliminary data. Of course, it is enough for the arrogant Fire Moth. He even saw a small particle collider.

Yes, I can advance my research, which is also very important for exploring the nature of Honkai.

Ryan did not think of himself as a mere soldier. After putting on a white coat, apart from looking more energetic, he was no different from those researchers with dark circles under their eyes.

He walked and strolled along the way and arrived at the end of the 35th floor. There was a radiation hazard pattern painted on the surface of the gate. Ryan unlocked it and went in to see the second explosion proof door, but one side of the corridor was made of thick glass, and he could see a tall figure busy at work.

There was an operating table in the middle of the laboratory of several hundred square meters. Mobius, with her green hair tied into a ponytail, was cutting the corpse of a Honkai beast with a knife. Several other operating tables nearby were also filled with the bodies of dead or infected people.

Each one was gutted with extremely delicate knife skills, as if a person was being dissected, and then their hair, skin and muscles were thrown into instruments for analysis.

Ryan stared blankly, feeling like he was watching a chef prepare a dinner. At least he rarely saw Mobius concentration, and that beautiful face -

Elegant, rational, yet concealing a hint of excitement and enthusiasm.

Sure enough, this doctor is unpredictable.
