Third Honkai Eruption

For most people in Changkong City, this day was just an ordinary day, with office workers going to work as usual and students going to school as usual.

That should be the case.

No one knows when or where the anomaly began.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, with lightning flashing intermittently within them.

A giant monster, as tall as half a building, suddenly appeared, and winged monsters flew and crashed around the streets like flies.

Even more terrifying, before anyone could react, the people around them suddenly turned into zombies like in the movies, lunging forward to tear them apart.

The peaceful city was transformed into a living hell in that instant.

This is the time of the Third Honkai Eruption, the birth of the Third Law of Thunder.

People scattered and fled, but two people went against the flow of the crowd toward the center of the thunderstorm.

Both of them remained silent. The one with slightly darker hair kept trying to save those attacked by Honkai Beast or trapped under the rubble, while the other, with slightly longer white hair, expressionlessly used a baseball bat to fight off one Honkai Beast after another, ignoring those who fell beside him.

"Kevin, come give me a hand!" Kosma said as he tried to lift a piece of collapsed wall. "There are still people inside!"

Kevin swung an Assault-class Honkai Beast away with a single blow, glanced at Kosma, and then came over to help Kosma lift the wall.

"Are you alright?" Kosma asked the rescued mother and child. "Hurry up, there will be backup over there!"

The mother gave a bitter smile and pushed her child out of the rubble, "You take him and run, my legs are too weak to walk... You're not much older than my child, don't worry about me, you two run together!"

"Mom!" The boy turned to look at his mother, while Kosma looked at Kevin. Kevin seemed to see and hear nothing, only staring at a Chariot-class Honkai Beast that was coming this way.

Kosma gritted his teeth and continued trying to pull the mother out of the rubble, while the boy helped him.

At that moment, an Assault-class Honkai Beast charged towards them. Kosma's eyes flashed with malice, and he immediately picked up a piece of rubble next to the ruins and threw it at the Honkai Beast.

The rubble struck the Honkai Beast's head precisely. Although it didn't cause much damage, it did change the Honkai Beast's direction of attack, causing it to crash into another pile of rubble.

It would be unwise to linger in this place for too long. Kosma quickly scanned his surroundings and saw that there were already many Honkai zombie approaching, and there were probably quite a few Assault-class Honkai Beast as well.

"Leave me alone, take my child and run!" the mother cried.

Kosma pursed his lips. His strongest fighter Kevin, had gone to lure away the most threatening Honkai Beast. His wisest choice now was to take the child and run away as quickly as possible.

(When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one...?)

Just as Kosma finally made up his mind to run away with the child, a bullet hit the nearest Honkai zombie, followed by another burst of gunfire, and the Honkai zombie who came closer fell to the ground.

Kosma breathed a sigh of relief; the Fire Moth had finally arrived.

"Hey, are you guys alright? Come over here, there are wounded here!" A fully armed soldier waved to his companions behind him.

Several soldiers helped the mother out of the ruins. Suddenly, Kosma noticed several Assault-class Honkai Beast charging towards them at high speed. Just as he was about to warn them, a cold light flashed, and the Honkai Beast were instantly destroyed.

Even through the armor on their bodies, Kosma recognized the person who had saved them at a glance. "Sakura?"

Sakura simply nodded in agreement, then instructed the soldiers to quickly take the two survivors away from the battlefield. Only then did she look at Kosma and say, "On the way here, we saw Sue and Mei. They said you're in here. Kosma, I'm relieved about Kevin, but for you, perhaps it's better not to push yourself too hard right now?"

Kosma didn't answer, and Sakura didn't have time to guess what he was thinking. She looked in the direction where Kevin had lured away the Chariot-class Honkai Beast and tossed Kosma a set of equipment. "Maple said you're the type who won't listen to anything, so I'm giving you this. You haven't forgotten how to fight, have you?"

"Of course not." Kosma quickly donned his equipment and immediately engaged in battle.

On the other side.

It was obviously unrealistic to Chariot-class Honkai Beast as tall as half a building with a baseball bat, so Kevin planned to lure it to the foot of a dilapidated building and use the collapse of the building to kill the Honkai Beast.

Before he could begin his plan, a beam of light struck the Honkai Beast, instantly destroying it.

Kevin looked behind him and saw a Fire Moth warrior approaching him, then raising his mask. "Long time no see, Kevin."

Kevin paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and nodded, "Long time no see, Feng."

As Zhu Yufeng tossed the equipment he had brought to Kevin, he opened a private communication channel. "I've already seen Kevin. Hmm, let's meet up at Shesha's place next."

As Kevin put on his gear, he asked, "Elysia?"

Zhu Yufeng nodded. "Mm."

Kevin wasn't too surprised. Since everyone had already left, and Maple, who shouldn't be here, was here again, the only explanation he could think of was that Elysia had done it.

"That gun is..."

"The prototype weapon designed by Vill-V, powered by Honkai Energy, and a limited edition of one, is quite suitable for me right now," Zhu Yufeng said, taking down another Honkai Beast with a single shot.

Vill-V... Kevin silently killed a Honkai Beast, while wondering if Vill-V had brought all eight personalities with her.

"What's your relationship with Elysia now?" Kevin asked abruptly on the way to the meeting point.

Zhu Yufeng stumbled, looking at Kevin with a strange expression. "Why are you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, paying attention to this kind of thing?"

He replied, "Well... I guess we've probably returned to how we were at the beginning. We've talked it out, and all the misunderstandings have been cleared up, so there's no need to be so awkward around each other anymore."

Kevin pondered for a moment, "Restoring the earliest relationship... does that mean Feng has started pursuing Elysia again?"

"What about Lilith?" he asked.

Zhu Yufeng's eye twitched. "What do you mean, what to do? I mean, Elysia and I are currently teammates on the same team, and our relationship... I don't want to think about that right now."

Kevin didn't say anything more.

Even though Elysia has started to move now, he still thinks Lilith is better.

After all, Lilith and Feng have the best teamwork. In the previous battle, when the Thirteen Fallen Angels stood together, none of them could defeat him or Qianjie in terms of individual combat strength. Their strength lies in teamwork, especially Lilith and Feng. Their teamwork is so good that they don't even need to exchange glances to know what the other needs or wants to do.

He had personally witnessed the two men's coordinated battle.

That was the first time he was defeated, by those two working together.

Elysia... her fighting style isn't really suited to Maple.

No matter what, his mindset won't change.

"Speaking of which, Kosma actually came too. He left Disaster alone in the safe zone and followed you in. When I saw her, the little girl was throwing a tantrum," Zhu Yufeng said.

"That was his own choice," Kevin said expressionlessly. "Besides, you're not much older Disaster, are you? You're about my age and you're calling Disaster' little girl'?"

"After all, we're from the same family, so looking at her really feels like looking at a little girl," Zhu Yufeng chuckled.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the edge of the central area of Honkai outbreak.

"With such a high concentration of Honkai Energy, there shouldn't be any survivors, right?" Zhu Yufeng glanced at the Honkai Energy detector he carried with him. "We actually arrived the earliest."

The Fire Moth's strategy for dealing with this Honkai was to surround it from the outside, gradually advance to the central area, and wait for the Honkai Energy concentration to decrease as the Ruth and her companion Honkai Beast were fully born before launching a final attack.

After all, the Honkai Energy produced by the newly born Ritsuki is beyond the capacity of ordinary people to withstand. Zhu Yufeng estimated that the only ones who could enter now were himself, Kevin, and Elysia.

"Feng!" Elysia's voice came from behind. Zhu Yufeng turned around and saw Elysia waving at him as she and Disaster walked over.

Zhu Yufeng frowned and stepped forward, saying, "Elysia, how could you bring someone with no combat experience here?"

"It was Miss Disaster who asked for it. You know, I always find it hard to refuse the requests of cute girls." Elysia shrugged, looking somewhat playful and adorable.

Zhu Yufeng sighed helplessly. He knew that Elysia wasn't that kind of person, and she wouldn't have agreed to let Disaster join the battle if she really wasn't suitable. There was only one downside to her doing this... if she let civilians join the battle, she would have to write at least a 10,000-word self-criticism.

Oh, I also let Kevin, who's still a civilian, join the fight. He has to write a self-criticism too, huh? Oh well, never mind...
