Chapter 177

"Zhou Xuan, do you believe in fate?" Xingluo suddenly stopped and asked, looking at the stars filling the sky.

"I believe."

Zhou Xuan gently held Xingluo's hand, "Fate let us meet, know, and love each other, and face this Honkai World together. I believe that as long as we walk forward hand in hand, nothing can stop us."

Xingluo smiled slightly, her eyes flickering with happy light.

"Me too. No matter what the future holds, I am willing to face it with you."

However, behind this seemingly peaceful life, a new storm was quietly brewing.

A mysterious organization began to operate in the dark; they seemed full of hostility toward the existence of Zhou Xuan and Xingluo.

This organization acted secretly and used ruthless methods, making one have to be vigilant.

One late night, Zhou Xuan and Xingluo were resting at home when a sudden, urgent knocking on the door broke the silence.

Dr. Ratio stood outside the door with a solemn expression, holding an encrypted file in his hand.

"Something happened," Dr. Ratio said in a low voice, "That mysterious organization has already started acting; they seem to want to harm you."

Upon hearing this, the faces of Zhou Xuan and Xingluo immediately became solemn.

They quickly read the contents of the file and discovered that this organization was not only hostile to them personally but also attempted to destroy everything the new organization had built.

"We cannot sit and wait for death." Zhou Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes flickering with a firm light, "We must take the initiative to attack, expose their true faces, and protect our home."

"Right," Xingluo nodded in agreement, "No matter who they are or how powerful they are, we cannot retreat."

The four held an emergency meeting and formulated a detailed response plan.

They decided to use Zhou Xuan's technological power, Xingluo's wisdom and insight, as well as the rich experience and connections of Dr. Ratio and Lord Fu Xuan to jointly confront this mysterious organization.

In the following days, they experienced countless challenges and tests.

But no matter how great the difficulties and dangers they encountered, they always maintained firm belief and the power of unity.

Finally, through their joint efforts, this mysterious organization was finally completely exposed and destroyed.

However, this battle also made Zhou Xuan and Xingluo deeply realize that peace and stability in the Honkai World could not be achieved overnight.

They needed to continue moving forward and working hard to bring more hope and light to this world.

"No matter how the future changes," Zhou Xuan held Xingluo's hand tightly, "I will fight side by side with you and face it together."

"Me too," Xingluo responded with a smile, "Because you are by my side, I am fearless."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes flickering with infinite longing and firmness for the future.

They knew that as long as they relied on each other and walked forward hand in hand, nothing could stop their footsteps.

179. 【Did We Really Win?】

Night fell, stars appeared, and on the edge of the Disaster Empire, a piece of tranquility was torn apart by a sudden storm.

The originally peaceful night sky was slashed by dazzling rays of light; these were the embers of energy weapons clashing, signaling an ominous omen.

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, this pair of partners fighting side by side, were enjoying a rare moment of leisure, but they felt this sudden crisis at the first moment.

"Xingluo, there's a situation!"

Zhou Xuan stood up abruptly, his figure unfolding as he leaped to the window, looking at the flickering light points in the distance.

His eyes were filled with both vigilance and determination; as a guardian of the Disaster Empire, he knew that every unusual movement could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Xingluo followed closely behind, her eyes flickering with the same determination as Zhou Xuan's.

"Let's go take a look." Her words were concise and powerful, and the two made the decision almost simultaneously.

When they arrived at the scene, the scene before them was shocking.

The base of the new organization, that place once full of vitality and hope, was now a mess.

The aftermath of the explosion was still raging, and flames and black smoke intertwined into a doomsday scroll. Screams and calls for help rose one after another, and innocent lives were struggling in despair.

"Quick, save people!" Zhou Xuan did not hesitate at all; he immediately activated the Disaster Empire technological equipment he carried with him. Blue energy waves were emitted from his palms, precisely hitting several buildings that were about to collapse, winning precious time for the rescue.

Xingluo turned into a stream of light, shuttling between the sea of fire and the ruins; her speed was so fast that it seemed she could transcend the constraints of time. Every time she passed by, injured people were gently held by her and sent to a safe zone.

Her face was full of anxiety, but her eyes burned with an inextinguishable fire of hope.

"Dr. Ratio! Lord Fu Xuan! Come help quickly!"

Zhou Xuan shouted loudly; he knew that relying on their two people's strength alone, it was difficult to cope with this sudden disaster.

Not long after, Dr. Ratio and Lord Fu Xuan also arrived upon hearing the news.

Dr. Ratio brought his medical team and quickly threw himself into the work of treating the wounded.

His calm and professional attitude gave everyone great comfort.

And Lord Fu Xuan used her power of divination, attempting to peek into the truth behind this disaster.

"This power... does not belong to this world." Lord Fu Xuan furrowed her brows; her divination results made her feel unprecedentedly heavy.

"You mean, this is an attack by outsiders?" Zhou Xuan's heart tightened upon hearing this.

"I'm afraid so," Lord Fu Xuan nodded, "And they seem to know the technology of the Disaster Empire like the back of their hand."

The battle reached a white-hot stage at this moment.

Members of the mysterious organization wore strange attire and held high-tech weapons, engaging in a fierce clash with Zhou Xuan and the others.

Their movements were agile, and their tactics were varied; they were clearly well-trained warriors.

However, Zhou Xuan and Xingluo were not to be trifled with either. Relying on their deep understanding of Disaster Empire technology and their own powerful abilities, they engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy.

"Who exactly are you people? Why attack here?"

Zhou Xuan roared angrily, his fist wrapped in the power of thunder, smashing toward a member of the mysterious organization.

The opponent sneered and avoided his attack.

"We are travelers from different worlds; to seek stronger power, we will stop at nothing."

"Absurd!"

Zhou Xuan was furious, "Do you know how many innocent lives your actions have already caused to be sacrificed?"

"So what?"

The member of the mysterious organization did not care at all, "In this world where the weak are prey to the strong, only the strong can survive."

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides paid a heavy price.

However, just as Zhou Xuan was about to exhaust all his strength, Xingluo was suddenly severely wounded.

Her body was hit by an energy bullet, and blood stained her clothes.

"Xingluo!"

Zhou Xuan's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife; he rushed forward and held Xingluo tightly in his arms. Her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes remained firm.

"I'm fine... you must be careful..."

Zhou Xuan held back his tears; he knew now was not the time for sadness.

He had to pull himself together to protect Xingluo and protect this land they loved so deeply.

Just then, an unexpected helper appeared.

.... Begging for flowers.. 0

An old man wearing ancient clothing slowly stepped onto the battlefield; a kind of indescribable majesty and power radiated from his body.

His appearance shocked everyone present.

"I am an ancient powerhouse from another world; I felt the crisis here."

The old man's voice was low and powerful, "I am willing to lend you a hand."

With the old man's help, the situation on the battlefield quickly reversed.

His power was unfathomable, and he easily defeated the leader of the mysterious organization.

However, when the old man was about to completely eliminate this threat, he stopped his hand.

"You may go."

The old man said lightly, "But remember, no matter where you come from, you should not become synonymous with destruction and slaughter."

The members of the mysterious organization looked at each other and finally chose to retreat.

Although they were unwilling to accept failure, they also understood that they could not contend with this ancient powerhouse.

After the battle ended, Zhou Xuan, Xingluo, and the others stood on the ruins, looking at the figures gradually disappearing in the distance.

Their hearts were filled with both the joy of victory and anxiety about the future.

"Did we really win?" Xingluo asked weakly.

"No, this is only a temporary victory."

Zhou Xuan shook his head, "But as long as we are united as one, nothing can stop our footsteps forward." ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
