Chapter 37 You want me to reform it with love?!
Himeko's words caused Lu Li's smile to freeze instantly.
"what?"
"I said, you'll be working with March 7th and Danheng," Himeko repeated.
Lu Li: "..."
He did hear clearly.
but……
"Sister Himeko." Lu Li coughed twice, his face serious. "Although you may have forgotten, my position is logistics specialist."
"Fighting should be left to professionals..."
"I already saw whether you're professional or not in the training room this afternoon," Himeko interrupted him. "Alright, stop pretending."
Lu Li: "..."
Failed.
I shouldn't have agreed to call Danheng this afternoon.
But who knew the main storyline would suddenly kick in at night!
And it just so happened to be right after the sky curtain ended, even though I've been here so many times in the past few years and nothing ever happened.
The main characters' reputations were built on saving the Black Tower space station; if they got involved and got caught...
Lu Li decided to try one more time.
"But I..."
"This isn't a request, it's an order."
Himeko looked at him with an unprecedentedly serious expression. "Firstly, your current power is very unstable. Staying on the train would be even more dangerous if it went out of control."
"Following Danheng and the others will at least allow you to become familiar with your own strength more quickly in actual combat."
"Most importantly..." Himeko paused, "with you here, I feel more at ease about their safety."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li was completely speechless.
The reason was so valid that he couldn't refute it at all.
Although he knew that they couldn't be in any danger on March 7th, what could he say after Himeko had already put it that way?
Damn it, am I even going to keep this salted fish?
Lu Li let out a wail in his heart, but could only manage a smile that looked worse than crying.
"……clear."
"That's right." Himeko nodded in satisfaction, then looked at March Seven and Dan Heng, "Be careful and stay in touch."
"Don't worry, Himeko-nee." March Seven patted her chest confidently, "We will definitely rescue everyone on the space station!"
Himeko looked at the confident March in front of her with a sense of helplessness.
She was worried about her... But this time, not only Dan Heng, but Lu Li also went along.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Himeko nodded. "In short, the three of you should be careful. If you encounter danger, don't act rashly, and evacuate in time."
"clear!"
"clear."
"clear……"
The three-person team quickly assembled.
As Lu Li left through the emergency exit on the side of the train, he glanced back.
Himeko stood at the end of the corridor, her figure appearing exceptionally reliable under the flashing alarm lights.
Ugh.
Lu Li sighed.
Forget it.
Since you've already accepted it, there's no use regretting it now.
The saying goes well.
If your body has already accepted it, but your mind is still regretting it, that's called internal friction.
This doesn't fit his salted fish aesthetic.
After all, it's better to get up and run a few steps than to waste time on internal strife.
As a salted fish.
Either lie down and accept ordinariness, or get up and roll up.
Lying down and crying is like being a "wet salted fish"... well, it's prone to getting moldy.
Oh well, I guess I'll just consider it overtime.
Although there's no overtime pay...
……
at the same time.
Inside an elevator leading deep into the space station.
The red warning light flashed on and off.
As the sound of an explosion came from afar, a woman with long, purplish-black hair, wearing a black cloak-like cape and a black trench coat, slowly opened her eyes.
It was Kavka who infiltrated the Black Tower space station.
I could hear the explosions outside.
Kafka raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled, "Looks like I've come at the wrong time."
The next second, a slightly languid girl's voice came through her earphones.
"No, I think you've come at just the right time."
"System time, 23:47:15, you're right on time, Kafka."
"The future that Eriol sees is never wrong." Kafka stretched.
"What happened with that explosion? Was that part of his 'script'?"
"At 23:44:59 (system time), the pulse generated by the explosion caused a large-scale paralysis of the main control system."
Kafka raised an eyebrow. "Did you do this?"
"Damn it, the Antimatter Legion. They completely invaded the space station two system time points ago."
"Do we need to engage the Legion?"
"I don't know. Since Eriol didn't say, it's not important."
"Understood." Kafka chuckled. "From now on, I'll take over the operation."
"Okay, can I have some fun this time? The previous missions were so boring."
Kafka glanced at her log. "Sorry, today's task was very boring; it was just about putting the 'target' in."
"But whatever kind of fun you want to have, I won't stop you."
"after all……"
Ding--
As the elevator doors opened.
The next moment, two phantom soldiers wielding light blades lunged at Kafka, swinging their blades at her.
Kafka didn't even look up, casually drawing her twin pistols from her waist.
Bang Bang Bang!
The gunfire ceased, and the two expendable soldiers collapsed limply to either side.
Kafka put away her dual pistols and stepped out of the elevator.
"Anything that Elio didn't write in the script is irrelevant."
……
Space station, main control module.
Lu Li, San Yueqi, and Dan Heng quickly advanced along the safety passage.
The entire space station's power system appears to have been affected.
The overhead lights flickered, and the holographic GG sign on the wall turned into a glaringly static screen.
A burnt smell still lingered in the air.
Judging from the continuous explosions and screams coming from afar, the entire space station was in complete chaos.
"The first coordinates sent by Station Master Estella are just ahead; it belongs to a group of researchers trapped in a lab!"
March 7th ran while looking at the terminal device in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Stay close to me." Dan Heng, spear in hand, ran ahead to clear the way.
Lu Li followed at the very back, inwardly groaning.
No, this isn't what we agreed on.
In his imagination, working overtime at most meant cheering from behind or handing blood packs to Danheng and Sanyueqi.
Why did they charge straight into battle right from the start?
This doesn't conform to the self-cultivation of salted fish... no, I mean logistics!
"Lu Li, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and catch up!" March 7th turned around and urged.
"Here we come." Lu Li sighed and could only quicken his pace.
Just then, several phantom soldiers of the antimatter legion suddenly rushed out from around the corner ahead.
"Watch out!" Dan Heng shouted in a low voice, flicking his spear and taking the lead in meeting the attack.
Dan Heng's blue whirlwind coiled around the tip of his spear, and with a single sweep, he cut the two vanguard soldiers at the front in half.
"Me too!" March 7th immediately drew his bow.
The ice arrow whistled out and precisely froze the leg of a pawn.
"Lu Li! The one on the right is yours!" March 7th said while shooting arrows, not forgetting to assign tasks to Lu Li.
Lu Li's eyelids twitched as he watched the axe-wielding monster charging towards him.
Leave it to me?
Are you kidding me? What am I supposed to fight with?
Can we influence it with love?
He got off the bus in such a hurry that he didn't even have a fire poker in his hand!
As the giant energy axe, gleaming with a cold light, was about to strike his face, Lu Li's heart tightened.
It's over.
Will he die before he even gets started, dying on the job so soon after "taking up his post"?
