Ruan Mei Miscalculates

Seeing Cocolia's murderous gaze, her confidants, thinking of their own lives, all abandoned their sympathy and quickly carried out Cocolia's orders.

"Snort..."

Looking at the images transmitted back by the Titan Mecha— images of Valkyrie tearing apart Titans with their bare hands— Cocolia grinned maliciously.

"I'd like to see if you're willing to die!"

Meanwhile, the battlefield outside Changkong City began to move towards the city center, but Theresa stopped in her tracks with a grim expression.

The wreckage of the Titan Mecha was transmitting public frequency signals, and the content of those signals was the reason for Theresa's ashen face.

"A super bomb that can destroy a city?"

Is it a weapon similar to Honkai Fission Bomb?

Moreover, it is highly radioactive...

After summarizing the information sent by the enemy, Himeko Murata in the command room also looked grim.

"Theresa, we absolutely cannot let that bomb land in Changkong City!"

Cocolia's message was simple: because the Far East Branch had thwarted her plans, she would launch a super bomb here that was even more powerful than the Honkai Fission Bomb; once it exploded, half of Changkong City would be wiped out.

If the Far East Branch doesn't obediently withdraw and hand over its personnel, they can expect to be hit by a nuclear bomb.

This is undoubtedly a blatant threat.

"Himeko, prepare a vehicle for me. I'm going to intercept the missile."

Theresa made her request to Himeko without the slightest hesitation.

"Stop fooling around, Theresa!"

Himeko's expression was stern as she reprimanded him.

"The Hyperion is equipped with anti-aircraft firepower and top-level shields, so the branch leader doesn't need to intercept it personally."

"But Hyperion couldn't withstand the explosion of those missiles!"

Theresa countered that, as the head of the Far East Branch, she was equally well aware of the situation in the Hyperion.

"Theresa, I am the commander-in-chief here!"

Himeko, knowing Theresa was out of control, wanted to calm Theresa down.

"But I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I don't go!"

Theresa retorted loudly.

"Calm down, Theresa."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Gwen, who was taken aback that Cocolia had actually pulled out a nuclear bomb, had no choice but to interject:

"I remember that the Hyperion -class warships were capable of striking targets beyond visual range."

Moreover, Hui Huo also possesses extremely high shooting talent and ability.

Why not let her try?

"That's true!"

Theresa slapped her forehead hard, barely snapping out of her feverish state, and immediately shouted into the public chat.

"Hui Huo!"

Hui Huo!

Please respond if you hear me! Please respond if you hear me!

"I'm here, branch manager. How can I help you?"

Upon suddenly hearing his own name, Wuse Huohuo asked with some confusion.

"Return to the Hyperion immediately; an important mission awaits you!"

Return immediately!

Return immediately!

"Yes!"

Theresa's urgency was almost palpable through her earpiece. Wuse Huohuo responded solemnly, then turned and flew swiftly toward Hyperion.

Then, before Hui Huo could return, a figure darted out from the Hyperion and appeared in front of her.

"Time is of the essence, I'll take you back."

To buy more time, Gwen came down to pick her up without waiting for a reply from Wuse Huohuo. He picked up the girl and flew upwards, leaving a trail of pale blue light in the morning mist.

Chapter 230 Nguyen Mai's Miscalculation

"You are... Instructor Gwen?"

Hearing that familiar voice that he hadn't heard for a while, Wuse Huohuo was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, it's me."

"Long time no see, Hui Huo."

Having already returned to the skies above the Hyperion's deck with the Wuse Huohuo, Gwen did not stop and continued flying forward.

"Now that we have thwarted the enemy's plans, they have launched missiles at our location in a fit of rage. The missiles are equipped with special warheads similar to Honkai Fission Bomb. They may not be as powerful, but they have a larger destructive range and also cause extremely strong radiation pollution."

If it were to fall, at least several million people in Changkong City would likely suffer.

Next, you'll need to operate the Hyperion's long-range weapons and try to shoot down those missiles.

After Gwen's brief introduction, the two entered the cabin.

Gwen, having disarmed himself, didn't unleash his weak Wuse Huohuo. Instead, he carried the girl on his back and ran wildly, following Himeko's guidance through his earpiece.

"I see."

Although somewhat puzzled as to what kind of enemy would be so ruthless as to attempt to attack a city with such a weapon, Wuse Huohuo did not ask any further questions. She simply nodded calmly and accepted the order.

"We've arrived."

In the time it takes to say a few words, Gwen has already rushed into the cabin where Himeko is, who is slightly out of breath.

"Come, Hui Huo, sit here."

Seeing that Gwen had brought back the Wuse Huohuo, Himeko patted the chair in front of her and greeted him.

"Um..."

The Wuse Huohuo, who had just dismounted from Gwen's back, nodded, sat down as Himeko had instructed, and began adjusting its weapon.

As the Wuse Huohuo fireboard boarded the ship, the Hyperion, which had been quietly hovering high in the sky as if supporting the Valkyrie squad below, quickly started up and headed towards the direction from which radar detected an incoming missile attack.

"Missile signal detected!"

Alarm!

Missile swarm signal detected, number unknown, estimated at least 100!

A voice that sounded vaguely familiar to Gwen came through the loudspeaker.

"Ai-chan, do your utmost to detect and calculate the missile's speed and trajectory to create an opportunity for Hui Huo to shoot it down. At the same time, notify all bases along the route, large and small, to use all available air defense weapons to intercept the passing missile swarm as much as possible!"

Upon hearing that radars in various locations had detected the missile's trajectory, Himeko, as the commander-in-chief, gave the order without hesitation.

"Hui Huo, it's up to you now."

Turning his gaze back to Wuse Huohuo, who had already adapted to the ultra-long-range strike weapons mounted on the Hyperion and entered combat mode, he said in a deep voice.

"Um..."

Although they were raised from childhood with the goal of fighting against the Honkai, if faced with such an inhuman enemy, Wuse Huohuo would not hesitate in the slightest.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Hui Huo. Just do your best."

Sensing the intensely focused spirit emanating from the girl, Gwen smiled and spoke.

"After all, we have more than one way to intercept."

"I will do my best."

Upon hearing this, Wuse Huohuo, though unsure of Gwen's method, still believed Gwen and relaxed slightly.

While comforting the Wuse Huohuo, Gwen did not forget to seek outside help—

"Exist?

"Urgent help needed, it's extremely urgent..."

"?"

Ruan Mei, who was leisurely embroidering, paused, then continued embroidering as if nothing had happened, but immediately responded to Gwen:

"What happened?"

"In short..."

After briefly describing his situation, Gwen inquired.

"I'd like to ask, how much do you know about this kind of atomic weapon, and do you have any relatively detailed data on its power?"

There are only three Netizen that Cocolia can contact right now. Gwen Rand is too busy to help, Seele can't help either, and the only one he can ask for help from is the second Netizen, who is suspected to be the one he has labeled "scientist".

Based on their past conversations, Gwen determined that the other person's world shared a considerable degree of commonality with the world he was familiar with, and that they could likely provide some reference data.

Because of the existence of the Honkai Fission Bomb, the Honkai world did not activate nuclear weapons, so even though Gwen's Schicksal, he could hardly get any reference.

"Data on the power of the atomic bomb?"

What do you need this for?

Indeed, while traveling through the stars in search of new life, she encountered some worlds that had developed nuclear weapons technology. Ruan Mei understood what Gwen wanted, but she was a little puzzled as to what Gwen wanted this thing for.

But in reality, Nguyen Mai already had a vague suspicion in her heart...

Having known each other for so long, Nguyen May has Gwen.

In her mind, Gwen asked this simply to determine the best way to survive.

However, Gwen's instant reply broke Ruan Mei's unhurried continued embroidery—

"If remote interception fails, I am prepared to intercept directly at close range."

Although we have protective equipment, it's always good to have some data to refer to so we can have a better understanding of the situation...

"?"

Upon seeing Gwen's reply, Nguyen May's cool and pretty face showed utter astonishment, completely unexpected that Gwen would give such an answer.

In the personality model she constructed, Gwen, while not exactly a bad person, shouldn't have made such a choice.

After a brief pause, Ruan Mei put down her embroidery completely. With one delicate, fair hand, she picked up a communicator and began searching for the necessary data, while her other hand replied:

"I'm searching for data, please wait a moment—"

But why would you do something like this?

Could it be that the order came from your boss, whom you've always been wary of, and you couldn't refuse?

No, not at all.

Watching the red dots representing missiles disappear one by one on the screen as the Wuse Huohuo fired, Gwen casually replied:

"If I have a high probability of being able to do it, why not do it?"

"..."

Upon seeing this answer, Ruan Mei remained silent for a moment, silently overturning the personality model of Gwen that she had originally built in her mind. At the same time, she accelerated her search for information, even going so far as to log into her main account to ask Screwllum, and the Herta for help.

Although they were somewhat surprised that Nguyen Mai suddenly sought out this kind of information, Herta and Screwllum immediately provided Nguyen Mai with the information she needed.

Before long, Gwen received a document that meticulously categorized and recorded all the relevant data on nuclear weapons.
