Fire Moth's Movements

Familiar scene, familiar seating arrangement.

Zhu Yufeng rested his chin on his hands, looking utterly exasperated.

Su pressed her head, utterly speechless.

"At least this time you didn't tell us it was an emergency." Zhu Yufeng glanced in the direction of the kitchen. Because Kevin and Mei were in a relationship and lived together, they didn't live in the soldiers' dormitory building, but in an apartment specially approved by the Fire Moth.

"I have some faith in Mei," Kevin said, then his voice lowered a few decibels under the watchful eyes of Su and Zhu Yufeng. "At least... at least I tested it before you came, and everything will be fine, trust me. Besides, it was Mei who asked me to invite you here."

"Excuse me, when you say 'nothing will happen,' do you mean we won't be sent to the emergency room for treatment?" Zhu Yufeng asked, squinting.

"Well... you should trust Lilith a little, right? May studied with Lilith for a long time!" Kevin chose to bring up Lilith, "Didn't Lilith successfully teach May how to make chocolate before?"

Su sighed softly and said, "We've all seen Lilith's cooking... but Mei also learned from Lilith before..."

Zhu Yufeng nodded in deep agreement. After taking it, the medicine that Mobius had given him to suppress the side effects became ineffective...

"Don't say that. You can trust what I say, right?" Kevin said, somewhat exasperated. "I can guarantee that Mei's cooking skills are at least at the level of home-style cooking."

What level of home-style cooking?

Su and Zhu Yufeng exchanged a glance. Was this something Mei was capable of?

After a moment of surprise, Zhu Yufeng realized that although the Caslana family in the current civilization didn't know how to cook and their kitchens were constantly in disarray, they could still make some basic dishes if they learned, at least edible ones.

For example, Siegfried's Heavenfire Toast, and even Kiana, who roasts Ganesha like a wild boar, can cook, but only a little; you can't expect her to make any exquisite dishes.

If Kiana can't cook, how will she survive while she's wandering around doing odd jobs searching for Siegfried?

Speaking of Schicksal three starter families, the Caslana family are descendants of Kevin, the Apocalypse family's ancestor is Su, but it seems they are not descendants of Su, but rather descendants of disciples who were enlightened and taught by Su. As for the origin of the Schariac family's bloodline, it's really unknown where it came from.

Fine, I'll trust Kevin one more time.

In addition, there is one more thing he needs to make clear first.

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Su, her eyes conveying a clear message: "Should you say it or should I?"

Su paused for a moment, then spoke up, "Kevin, Mei asked you to invite the two of us over this time, it wasn't just to see our cooking, was it? What does Mei want to discuss with us?"

He had discussed this with Su on the way here. In the previous life, Kevin had simply called them over because of an emergency, and they would have a "meal" during the emergency. But this time, Kevin called them over saying that Mei had something to discuss with them, so they came.

Otherwise, if Zhu Yufeng had known they were coming here to eat, he would have run away immediately.

"It's about those plans, isn't it?" Zhu Yufeng said. "You still think it's unnecessary?"

Those plans were, of course, the Stigmata Project, the Project Ark, the Kindling Project, and the Hengsha Project. Kevin wasn't very supportive of these four plans. He still believed that they could be ahead of the Honkai this time, and that the situation was still under control so far, so there was no reason for them to lose.

Instead of spending resources preparing these four plans, it would be better to focus all efforts on dealing with the Honkai, such as the "God-Slaying Plan" that is currently being carried out in secret. Kevin has only heard of this God-Slaying Plan. This plan was formulated by Mobius and others a long time ago, and the Moonlight Throne Project is also included in it. Recently, Rovoc's job transfer was also because the subordinate plan of the God-Slaying Plan has officially started.

That's why Kevin thought, why bother with Ark? With these materials, why not just build more Moonlight Throne?

Kevin ultimately chose to remain silent. In truth, Mei had already told him these things, but what she said was similar to what she had told him in his previous life. Of course, he knew that humanity needed a way out, but someone had also said that the Project Ark was bound to fail, the Stigmata Project, although initiated, would definitely fail in the end, the Hengsha Project was the only possibility that Su had obtained at the cost of his life, and the Kindling Project... in fact, even when the battle for the Finality in his previous life, this project still didn't have a detailed plan.

Moreover, Kevin wasn't really willing to admit that they would fail again, because the cost of failure might be too heavy for them. Whether Zhu Yufeng could survive was one thing, but Elysia... In order to awaken the humanity of the next Herrscher Civilization and give them the opportunity to choose their own side, Elysia's sacrifice was almost inevitable.

Although Kevin doesn't support the Ai Feng faction, he has never denied that Elysia is one of his most reliable comrades.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have shed tears at the [The Final Banquet]. Kevin is a man who almost never cries. Even when he fell into severe depression after killing his longtime comrade-in-arms Himiko, Kevin never shed a tear. In Zhu Yufeng's memory, Kevin only shed tears twice: once when Elysia sacrificed herself, and once when he returned to Earth after the War of Finality but failed to see Mei one last time.

However, Kevin missed the live broadcasts of both times he shed tears. He didn't attend [The Final Banquet], and he had already died long after the War of Finality. Pardo said he turned into light and didn't even leave behind ashes.

He wanted to complain that if he had turned into a stone statue, maybe he could be brought back to life by shining a flashlight on it or something, but unfortunately he turned into light.

Sue understood Kevin's thinking, but he still said, "Kevin, even with a high probability of winning, we must prepare a way out for those who come later."

"Of course I understand, but... I also hope these plans will never come in handy," Kevin said. "This should be my own business; that's not what May wants to talk to you about."

Zhu Yufeng and Su exchanged a glance and then remained silent.

Not long after, Mei came out of the kitchen. Su and Zhu Yufeng immediately turned their attention to the plate in Mei's hand. Fortunately, it looked normal, a great improvement from before when it was impossible to tell what it was.

To be honest, it's not that the Caslana family can't learn to cook; it's just that they always try to add something extra when they cook. For example, Kallen will stuff in whatever she likes, Siegfried thinks the normal process of baking toast is too slow, so he uses Heavenfire to bake it all in one go, Kiana doesn't even know whether Honkai Beast are edible...

By the way, Kallen's Stargazing... Zhu Yufeng had actually seen it in real life. It was indeed a famous dish, a notorious dish in the world of dark cuisine. If you made it properly, the taste... well, if you went to a restaurant, you could eat it with the fish head removed if you really couldn't stand it.

As for the idea of stargazing in home-style cooking, it depends on what the maker is thinking. The simplest way is to stick a few fish heads on a pie, put it in the oven, and it's ready to eat. You can imagine how it tastes.

Zhu Yufeng just didn't quite understand one thing: if they wanted to discuss something, couldn't they just do it in Mei's lab? Why did they have to come to Kevin and her place to talk? It was like they were having a casual chat...

Su understood why Mei did this; it was probably to create a more relaxed atmosphere. The person Mei mainly wanted to talk to was probably Zhu Yufeng. Although Su hadn't been told what Zhu Yufeng and Mobius were up to, Su had a pretty good idea. In fact, after the assassination attempt on Mobius had already declared to Su that he would do something.

Sue was not unable to understand Mobius's thoughts; neither of them wanted to watch civilization be destroyed again, or to see their comrades perish once more.

This time, he was transferred Fire Moth and assigned to conduct research on the Stigmata Project, a research project led by Mebius. However, not long after he arrived, Admil gave him a research record on the Stigmata Project, and he then realized that Mobius and others had been secretly working on it all along.

However, their methods were somewhat too extreme.

When handing him the research record, Admil told him that the project was actually being carried out in secret, and that not many people knew about it, so he should handle it as he saw fit.

Sue also asked Admil why he abandoned the Stigmata Project. Admil said it was because the project had gone wrong, and it was not suitable for the current era. It could only exist as a fallback plan for humanity. He now had another project to complete and was conducting research.

Su didn't ask any further, because he figured he wouldn't get an answer anyway, since this kind of thing was definitely confidential and he couldn't just tell him that.

May may have sensed something, but she may feel that discussing some things with Mobius is unlikely to yield results. Zhu Yufeng, who has a relatively close relationship with Mobius and is also Kevin's close friend, can become an intermediary for her to communicate with Mobius.

On the other side.

"Survivor Project..." Mostima stared at the text on the screen, lost in thought.

Now that the Fire Moth Mu Continent have broken ties, both sides are racking their brains to get more information from each other. The Fire Moth itself has its own independent network, and even the higher-ups within the Fire Moth may not know about the plans that the World Serpent is carrying out. The World Serpent's independent network is the Gray Serpent Network, a special network.

Mostima wasn't sure what the Gray Serpent Network was, but it was clearly different from other independent networks. If a Gray Serpent individual outside detected an intrusion, it would immediately disconnect from the Gray Serpent Network. Each Gray Serpent could be considered a relatively independent network, and once the connection was broken, the only option was to find the next Gray Serpent to solve the problem.

As for the Mu Continent's network... long before Beifengge was discovered to have betrayed them, World Serpent had already left a hidden portal in the Mu Continent's network using Beifengge's identity verification. Although this hidden portal was immediately removed by the Mu Continent after the Fire Moth, Mostima would not leave only one hidden portal. Those that were removed were just bait, so she was still able to hack into the Mu Continent's internal network.

However, the firewall of the Mu Continent's internal network is not to be underestimated. Even she dared not act rashly. It would be easy to forcibly hack into it and steal data. After all, in her previous life, Mostima had single-handedly breached the Fire Moth's firewall, paralyzing the Fire Moth base.

Then, as a result, he was targeted by Vill-V and subsequently arrested.

The same logic applies to the Mu Continent. She can obtain what she, or rather the World Serpent, desires, but this opportunity is only once. After that, she will easily be discovered by the Mu Continent, leading to a public confrontation between the Mu Continent and the Fire Moth...

So she has to take it slowly, infiltrating little by little from the outside in.

Fortunately, the general content of this plan isn't particularly highly classified; if you don't seek out detailed information, you can still figure out what kind of plan it is.

"I can tell what kind of plan it is just from the name..." Mostima thought to herself as she typed on the keyboard, "And the Fire Moth have a similar plan too..."

Mostima didn't really care about the future of this world. She didn't care what the world would become. Anyway, she was now World Serpent executive, Fire Moth still had a certain status and influence in the world. She didn't need to worry about anything else.

However, for Gianna's sake, if the apocalyptic flood were to come, at least she and Gianna should be eligible to board the Ark.

Speaking of Gianna... besides regularly keeping an eye on the developments in the Mu Continent, Mostima also needs to keep an eye on Griseo's situation Mu Continent.

"I feel like such a fool... being completely manipulated by the Lilith family." Mostima lowered her eyes. She wasn't Gianna's biological sister, so why did she have to think about so many things?

The blame lies with Lilith, the older sister, who never treated Gianna like a real sister. To Lilith, Gianna was merely a tool for getting along with Maple... Yet, even so, the happiness on Gianna's face every time Lilith came to see Gianna was genuine.

Gianna is no longer the little girl she used to be; she knows more and more, and who knows how long this lie can be kept secret...

When she recalls the incident involving the Fourth Herrscher, she will know exactly what Lilith did back then.

"It's possible that the child already knew what happened back then. After all, she's Lilith's Sister, and her brother is a monster. This family isn't simple; she can't stay naive forever." Mostima sighed softly. "Perhaps Feng is right; she did know all along, but she was deceiving herself, unwilling to believe that her sister once tried to kill her, unwilling to believe that her sister never loved her."

Ugh, so annoying! She's definitely going to apply for a vacation after this so she can play games with Feng!
