At that moment, Hua searched for survivors amid the sea of flames. "Hey, is anyone there? Is anyone still here who hasn't evacuated?"
Hua spotted someone trapped beneath the rubble, struggling to get free. A pillar was hanging above her head, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
Hua immediately rushed over and rescued her just before she was crushed to death.
Hua asked, "Are you all right?"
The woman replied, "Thank you. I'm fine.
Hua said, "The Honkai came too suddenly, and there was no time to notify everyone to evacuate. Please forgive us. By the way, what's your name?"
"It wasn't your fault. My name is Eden."
Hua exclaimed, "You're that big celebrity, right?"
Eden said, "Yes. I didn't expect to find one of my fans in a place this chaotic."
Hua replied, "Not really. I've only heard other people talk about you."
Eden said, "What a pity. But this isn't the place to talk. Let's get out of here."
After hearing that, Hua carried Eden on her back, but she had no idea which way to go.
Hua said, "My squad was wiped out just now too. I don't know where to go either."
"I know, but you should at least find somewhere safe! Hurry up, that building is about to collapse! Aaaah!"
Carrying Eden on her back, Hua had no idea what was happening behind her, so she ran toward a place with fewer flames.
She had only run a short distance when she heard a thunderous crash behind her. Sure enough, a building had collapsed.
Hua said, "Staying here isn't an option. We need to think of a way to contact the others."
Then Eden said, "How was your squad wiped out? I'm about to break down. Why is there Honkai? I saw it with my own eyes—my fans were swallowed by the flames..."
Hua looked at the distraught Eden, not knowing what to say, and could only remain silent.
Eden said, "Don't you have reinforcements? Please, save us."
Hearing Eden's words, Hua suddenly remembered Huang Hao. "Right! Before I came here, an Ace Soldier said he might be able to come and get us!"
Eden said, "That's great! But where is he?"
"I don't know either. I can only send out a radio message and pray that he receives it."
The two of them fell silent.
Meanwhile, over on Huang Hao's side, Huang Hao had just dealt with a religious incident and was thinking about how to take in Himiko when he received Hua's message.
"An'er, you coexist as both a machine and an energy entity. I can't even imagine what kind of miserable life I was living before I had you," Huang Hao said in delight.
"Thank you for the compliment, Father, but if you don't take action soon, those two people are going to die."
"...Damn, I got so excited that I forgot." After saying that, Huang Hao immediately sprang into action.
After a while, Huang Hao arrived beside Hua.
Hua said, "Thank you for the rescue."
"No need to thank me. It's what I should do. Who's the one beside you?"
"I-I'm Eden."
Looking at the trembling Eden before him, Huang Hao understood why she would need psychological treatment.
Huang Hao said, "Okay, okay. You're safe now. Calm down. Have you seen someone with flames coming out of his entire body?"
Eden nodded.
Huang Hao rejoiced inwardly. Great! Do you know where he is? Just tell me the general direction.
Eden shook her head again.
Huang Hao's hopes were dashed. He could only wave his hand. "Hua, take her back to Moth to the Flame. She's been through so much. It'll be good to have her receive treatment."
Hua shook her head as well. "No. I have to find my captain and ask him what happened."
"Seriously, why are you all shaking your heads? Did you take shaking pills?" Huang Hao looked at them helplessly.
Huang Hao said, "I'm the main combat force, so I definitely can't leave. But we can't just abandon Eden either."
At that moment, an ill-timed voice came from the post. "Excuse me, are there any rescue personnel here?"
Huang Hao looked up and saw a helicopter.
Huang Hao had no choice but to send Eden up first. Then he looked at Hua, whose expression was full of determination. "Why don't you..."
Hua immediately refused. "No. I have to find my captain."
Huang Hao asked, "Then do you know where your captain is?"
Hua said nothing.
"I'll keep searching. I won't hold you back."
Just then, a powerful surge of energy struck them, shaking the entire ground.
"Heh, Hua, looks like you don't have to search anymore. This energy..."
