Chapter 30

At five o'clock in the morning, the sunlight penetrated the windshield of the jeep and hit Himeko's.

As if feeling the sunlight penetrating the slits of her eyes, the stern red-haired beauty trembled her eyelashes a little, and then gradually opened her eyes at a slow speed.

Her head hurts, and there seem to be bursts of dull pain on the back of her neck, as if someone has beaten her mercilessly, and the base of the laptop is warmed up on the thigh

'Why? How did I lose consciousness?' As a seasoned fighter, her rich practical experience and theoretical knowledge immediately made her regain most of her rationality.

Realizing that she was probably being attacked, she widened her eyes and vigilantly stretched her hands to her waist. The pistol strapped to her belt was unexpectedly intact. Then she lowered her head, casually glanced at the pitch-black laptop screen, immediately closed it, and quietly placed the laptop on the soft seat beside her.

After doing all this, Himeko reached for the door handle of the car door and pulled it—the car door was actually locked.

Himeko, who was eager to understand the current situation, raised her leg without any hesitation, and with a loud sound of twisted and torn metal, she kicked the closed car door hard.

After opening the car door with extremely strong means, Himeko jumped out of the car door in an instant, with a vigorous and fierce posture. Then after seeing the tragic scene outside the car, she froze for a moment.

The sentries on both sides of the road leaned weakly against the walls of the buildings on both sides of the road, with their eyes closed. If it wasn't for their heart still beating slightly, Himeko would almost have thought that the two soldiers had been killed.

She didn't wake up the two soldiers who were in a coma immediately, but bent her knees slightly, jumped to the window on the second floor, and looked inside.

Not surprisingly, the soldiers on standby in the building were all "killed" silently without any exception.

Of course, like the soldiers who fell on both sides of the road, although they were deprived of consciousness, none of these soldiers who were attacked by unknown opponents were in life-threatening danger.

After confirming that the fallen soldiers were still alive, Himeko rushed to the top of the temporary sentry tower without stopping. In addition to observing the surrounding scenery, another function of this temporary sentry tower is to connect with the sentry towers established at other entrances and exits to build a sophisticated Honkai energy detection machine.

As long as the Honkai energy detector in the sentry tower is still executing orders normally, Himeko can use the records left by the detector to identify whether the person who suddenly attacked them has anything to do with "Honkai".

But then again, in an instant, everyone including her was knocked out silently, before anyone even noticed... This also means that if the other party wants to, then, they could also easily kill all of them quietly.

Himeko came to the top of the sentry tower, and the intelligence officers stationed in the sentry tower lost consciousness as a matter of course. Himeko went straight to the central control, trying to retrieve the Honkai energy records of the whole town last night.

After seeing a straight line on the icon, Himeko breathed a sigh of relief. Although after seeing the soldiers who were stunned but did not lose their vital signs, she had already made a rough judgment on the nature of the enemy. After seeing that the Honkai energy detector did not detect any fluctuations of Honkai energy in the town, she still couldn't help but relax.

They didn't kill any of them and didn't produce any Honkai energy fluctuations when they took action, which meant that the other party was neither a monster obeying Honkai nor a person who had a deep hatred for them.

Being able to bypass these strict monitoring and at the same time knock down all of them silently in an instant means that the opponent has a very high level of concealment.

After understanding these two points, Himeko woke up all the unconscious soldiers one by one.

The moment they woke up, almost all the soldiers showed blank expressions, followed by intense shame and humiliation.

As a member of the Fire Moths, they have a certain degree of adaptability to Honkai. Almost everyone is a powerful fighter that surpasses ordinary people. Most of the time they are proud and most of them have pride. However, last night, they were all knocked down without even seeing the enemy's face.

After being woken up, everyone consciously came to the center of the road and lined up, while lowering their heads slightly, and quietly waited to be reprimanded by the captain.

"You don't need to show such an expression." Himeko stood in front of the queue of soldiers, with her arms crossed, as she cast her gaze on the jeep with no door that was kicked down by her, "The attacker's method is beyond the capabilities of all of us. It is expected that this disastrous defeat has nothing to do with you, even if you are looking for someone who should be responsible for the disastrous defeat, it should be me. As the captain, I did not do a good job in intelligence work."

To be honest, after realizing that the moment she lost consciousness, Himeko only felt an indescribable chill rushing up from behind. As the captain of the fifth team, she is well aware of the strength of the team members. If even she, the captain, is helpless against the attackers, her team members will not be able to do better than her.

Fortunately, this time the attacker did not seem to be an "enemy" in the true sense. After the laptop was connected to electricity, the browsing records seen from it also verified Himeko's idea.

"Honkai phenomenon", "Fire Moths", "Flame Chasers", and "fifth team" After seeing such search terms, Himeko understood the other party's purpose.

That person didn't come here with hostility to defeat or even kill them. The reason why that person attacked them was purely because they had a goal they wanted to achieve.

—What the other party wants, from the very beginning, is to have confidential information about "Flame Chasers", "Fire Moths" and "Honkai".

They don't know about Honkai...but do they have special abilities beyond ordinary humans? Himeko rubbed her chin. If it wasn't for special abilities, even professionally trained fighters and agents would not be able to easily bypass the nets they laid on this road.

Could it be... the child I met during the day yesterday?

Although it was groundless, Himeko's immature face that refused to admit defeat suddenly a child appeared in Himeko's mind.

"You guys, keep guarding this intersection." Himeko said, "I have something to do and I need to go to the town to confirm."
