The apocalypse is, after all, the apocalypse. Even though Seele always maintains a cheerful and lively demeanor, she cannot hide the tragic reality.
The base of Fire Moth is filled with panic and hunger. Although people can live safely within the base, it is only a momentary safety, a survival just to stay alive.
Food, food, and more food. The outbreak of the Great Honkai destroyed the world's vitality. Creatures were contaminated, plants were contaminated, and the earth itself was contaminated…
The earth lost its capacity to sustain life, and the remaining people lost the food that could provide the energy to live.
What exactly is the Honkai? Ryn doesn't know, Bronya Zaychik doesn't know, and the people of Fire Moth don't know either.
But if its purpose is to destroy all life, then as long as there are living beings, it will never rest.
The safety of the base is no longer guaranteed. Yesterday's Honkai Beast attack was not the end, but the beginning.
Bronya Zaychik has already begun to mobilize the remaining people of Fire Moth, preparing to relocate after Himeko and the Hyperion return.
Because this base is also to be abandoned, Seele changed her strategy. Instead of familiarizing Ryn and Ryn with it, she took them to meet the other members of Fire Moth and see if anyone needed help.
——————————————
"Emisha~ I brought people to help you~" Seele pushed open the door of the medical room and walked in with Ryn and Ryn in tow.
"Don't call me Emisha!" Emisha, who was treating the injured, turned around and glared fiercely at Seele.
However, upon seeing Ryn, Emisha's expression immediately relaxed. "Tsk, these two behind you… You're really still alive, I knew you were tough. Thank you. If it weren't for you, those guys on the battlefield would be begging for food at the gates of hell by now."
Ryn and Ryn also greeted Emisha.
"Hello, Emisha."
"Don't call me Emisha! My name is Rei Emisha, call me Rei, not Emisha!"
"Really? Emisha sounds pretty good, doesn't it?" "Yes, it's a very cute name." "Right? You two think so too, don't you~"
"How many times do I have to say it! Don't call me by that name!" Emisha couldn't help but roar at the three of them.
But after roaring, Emisha immediately covered her mouth and lowered her voice. The patients in the infirmary needed quiet, and she couldn't be shouting and causing them mental distress…
"Let's not talk about that. You've come at the right time. I have a request that needs the help of your combat unit. The Houmei robots were severely damaged in the previous battle, and the engineering team says they lack the parts to maintain them. We need to wait for the 'Gray Moth' to return to replenish the parts."
"Supplies are tight, so we can only wait for Himeko and the others to come back…"
"No, there's no time for that. If another battle of that scale happens before the Gray Moth returns, I can't guarantee that everyone who goes to the battlefield will come back alive."
"So your request is… ?"
"Since the parts were lost on the battlefield, why not just find them again on the battlefield?"
"You mean you want us to go scavenge on the battlefield!" Seele was surprised and wanted to refuse this unrealistic request. The battlefield is so dangerous, how could there be time to search for things?
"Don't put it so harshly. This is crucial to maintaining the entire medical front. If you don't go, that's fine. I'll just go find Bronya…" Emisha deliberately paused, looking at Seele.
Someone had to go to the battlefield to retrieve the parts for the Houmei robots. If Seele's combat unit was unwilling, then Emisha could only formally submit a request to Bronya Zaychik, and perhaps Bronya Zaychik would go to the battlefield herself.
"I'll take it!" As soon as Emisha mentioned Bronya Zaychik, Seele immediately accepted the mission.
Seele turned to look at Ryn and Ryn, asking, "So, do you want to come along?"
"You search, I'll kill everything." Ryn nodded, agreeing to join the mission.
"I'll come too. I've been training for an opportunity like this!"
—————————————
A short while later, on the battlefield.
A very refreshing battle, there was none. An evenly matched formidable foe, there was none.
Because Ryn cleared the entire field with a single blast of Heat Vision. As far as Ryn and Seele could see, apart from the sizzling sound of burnt flesh and the smell of scorching in the air, the only Honkai Beasts left were small bugs…
Then, the miserable trio got on their hands and knees, rummaging around on the ground, searching for parts of the Houmei robots.
"How are you searching? You've got mud all over your face." Ryn pointed to his own face, indicating that Ryn's face was now covered in mud.
"Just like this… Seele said they might be covered in silt, so I'm feeling around in it…" Ryn said as she continued to grope through the muddy ground.
"What? Did you call me?" Seele, whose face was also covered in mud, suddenly looked up, flinging a faceful of mud at Ryn…
"It's nothing, carry on."
Ryn wiped the mud off himself, then with a slight flick of his finger, made most of the perceptible parts float up from the ground and placed them in plain sight.
"Stop digging. There's no way they could have been buried by sand and mud in less than two days. See if these are what you're looking for." Ryn interrupted Seele and the other's digging, pointing to the parts he had just pulled out of the ground.
Seele & Ryn: "Uh…"
——————————————
Seele, carrying a pile of broken parts, threw them on the table in front of Emisha.
"I brought the parts back for you, but are these scraps of metal really useful?"
"Whether they're useful or not isn't for me to say, it's up to those guys in the engineering team to decide. But now they can't use the excuse of not having enough parts anymore. If they can't fix the robots, I'll beat those slackers to death."
Emisha glanced at the discarded parts, then handed the remaining damaged Houmei medical robots from the infirmary to the trio.
"If you're going to help, help all the way. Take these to the Engineering Department~
Seele & Ryn & Ryn: "…"
"Don't look so dead inside, it's not like I'm not paying you. Here, 600 crystals." Emisha took out the prepared crystals and handed them to them.
"You're too generous!" Seele accepted the crystals with a grin and immediately tossed them to the two Ryns.
"This is the common currency in the base. You can trade it with others for things you need. Take it, I don't need it."
Ryn took a look and found that it was just ordinary Honkai energy. It didn't seem to be of much use to him, so he gave it all to Ryn.
"Just two green lights, you can have them."
