Chapter 65 Black Mud

Fire and thick smoke rose from the distant city—that was the direction of Himihu and the others.

Accompanying the fire is the round body of the stone-throwing Honkaimon. It continuously throws the balls generated in its belly. Such heavy balls cannot be thrown very far, but the surface is too smooth, and many balls do not reach the ground after they hit the ground. It did not stop, but rolled further in the direction, crushing everything in front of it. Fortunately, the opponent's method was to throw the ball. The ball landed at a large angle, and there was a high probability of making a pit. Scroll again.

Mikael couldn't help but be a little worried - could they really deal with this level of Honkaimon?

Although it is only a low-level Honkaimon in terms of classification, the destructive power given by its huge physique is already infinitely close to that of an emperor-level Honkaimon.

But as half of the sky in the south burned into blood red, every dark cloud in the night became extremely clear, as if there were flames dancing on it... This sight was enough to make him let go of his hanging heart.

He waited there for nearly an hour.

During this period, he looked in the direction of East City more than once, but it was completely submerged in black mist. Except for the occasional burst of lightning, there was no movement.

"What are you waiting for here?" A voice in his mind asked him, and it had been asking him for a long time and countless times.

"How many people do you think you can save here? Did you save a hundred people all the way here before? Wake up, face reality, this city has been completely destroyed, even if you save a few hundred people, That’s only one ten thousandth, so what’s the use?”

"Or do you think that the weight of these hundreds of people is heavier than Alicia?"

Mikael's feet collapsed towards Dongcheng, his pace getting faster and faster.

"Yes, yes, so what if Canghai City is destroyed? So what if the world is destroyed? Didn't you just want to save Alicia from the beginning?"

That voice was still stimulating him in his mind, and he had no doubt that this was actually his most selfish and true thought.

But his pace gradually slowed down.

"But what if Captain Himihu comes here and can't find me... No, wait another five minutes, no, ten minutes! The last ten minutes!"

He knew he was lying, so he ended up right back where he started.

After another half an hour, Himihu finally arrived with dozens of team members for a meeting.

Mikael had a clear view of their embarrassment, but... in fact, just from the sharp reduction in the number of people, it is not difficult to see the sacrifices they just made.

He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and guilty. Fortunately, the dark night was the best protective color. Even Himiko couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

In the battle just now, the number of members of the fifth team was almost half, but Himiko seemed unaffected. She even said sarcastically to herself: "Hey, it looks like you solved it very easily. It's not like that. I almost didn’t see you here.”

Mikael didn't answer, mainly because he didn't know what to say. He knew enough about Himihu. The captain always buried all negative emotions in his heart, and instead showed his positive side to his subordinates, just like It is an ever-burning torch that inspires them to move forward.

But there is no eternal burning torch, she is just burning herself, in the dead of night when people are alone...

In short, Mikael felt that it was better not to speak at this time, because he was not sure whether the words he was about to blurt out would be counterproductive.

But his hesitant expression seemed to Himihu to be another manifestation.

She waved her hand to signal the soldiers to enter a state of rest, and some took turns to rest and stand guard. She herself walked up to Mikael and patted his shoulder gently, "Are you still worried about Ally?"

Mikael breathed out, "Well..."

"Relax, look, there is no movement at all in Dongcheng, which is a good thing. Think about it, with Ai Li's strength, even if she really encounters the Herrscher, she won't be helpless to fight back. There will definitely be a fierce battle. . There is no movement now, but does it mean that she is not in mortal danger yet?"

Mikael was stunned. He was confused when he cared, but he never thought of this.

Himihu rubbed Mikael's fine silver hair for the first time. She looked at the young man in front of her tenderly and said nothing.

"I see……"

Mikael quickly regained his composure and temporarily threw the anxiety and worry into the corner.

After ten minutes of rest, the soldiers of the fifth team regrouped.

"The number of people is still too small." Mikael thought, although it has been expanded ten times, what can we do if two hundred people are not enough? Not to mention that there are still some people stationed in Changkong City with Sakura.

They could only concentrate all the soldiers of the fifth team on the center line. The support company and the remaining military police in Canghai City controlled a small number of heavy mechas to cover the two wings and advanced towards the bifurcation of the river in the northeast.

And due to communication interruption, the team cannot spread out, and they don’t know how many survivors they will miss...

Unexpectedly, the advancement was not hindered much.

The number of Honkai Beasts in the city was much smaller than he thought. Most of them were assault-level or floating-level Honkai Beasts that even the soldiers of the supporting company could handle.

Even if there are occasionally tanks, knights or temple-level Honkai beasts that are several meters tall, such a size does not require Himiko and Mikael to take action. The fifth team soldiers who have received targeted training can handle it on their own.

"Something's wrong." Mikael said softly to Himiko.

"Although I can't give a specific strength value like an instrument, I can feel that the concentration of Honkai energy around me is getting higher and higher, but the number of Honkai beasts obviously doesn't correspond."

Himiko's pupils shrank slightly, and she asked carefully in a breath: "Is it the Herrscher!"

"No... I don't know."

He remembered that according to the original plot, the third Herrscher had a companion Honkai beast - Shesha.

And the location, at least the place where Mebius recovered it in the end, is Canghai City.

Of course, whether the situation will unfold as the previous plot is still a question.

In short, whether it is Shesha or the third Herrscher nearby, be careful!

Thinking of this, Mikael suddenly felt a sticky touch on the soles of his feet.

"What is it?"

At first he thought it was blood, but even if it was blood flowing, it would not be this sticky touch between liquid and solid.

Soon, shouts came from other warriors.

Himiko quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it under his feet.

It was black mud covering the ground... No, is it really mud?

He stepped in and then slowly pulled out, with a lot of black, sticky stuff stuck to the soles of his shoes. Himiko hopped back two steps on one foot, but the black mud stuck to her feet stretched into threads and continued to stick.

A brave soldier squatted down and tried to touch the black mud with his hands.

"No..."

When Mikael found out, it was too late.

The soldier's index finger just lightly touched the black mud, and a puff of green smoke rose from his body, and he fell headfirst.

The soldiers around him hurriedly tried to help him up, but when their hands touched the body of the person in front of them, another puff of smoke rose, and they fell headfirst.

There was also a third stupid soldier who wanted to help people, and Mikael quickly constructed a wooden stick and beat that person back.

"Back off!"

All the soldiers retreated to a clean road, and Mikael dragged the two bodies out with two rubber hooks.

He put on rubber gloves and checked the bodies.

"Electrocuted."

He concluded concisely.

With a "thump", the soldier he had just pushed away with a wooden stick fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Mikael then recognized that the man he had just saved was Aldemir.

He couldn't help but kick him lightly twice: "You are so lucky."

"It seems that Shesha is not going to escape..."
