Chapter 178

"Yes."

Dr. Ratio also walked over,

"And, we also have the help of this ancient powerhouse. I believe that in the days to come, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties."

Lord Fu Xuan nodded silently; she already had a new divination result in her heart.

Although she could not determine the specific direction of the future, she knew that as long as they maintained faith and courage, they would definitely be able to welcome a better tomorrow.

The night was deep, and the stars were still bright.

On this land baptized by the flames of war, new hope was quietly sprouting.

And Zhou Xuan, Xingluo, Dr. Ratio, Lord Fu Xuan, and the others would continue their journey, fighting to guard this land and their beliefs.

180. 【Restore Combat Effectiveness as Soon as Possible】

Night fell, and stars dotted the vast universe, as if signaling the tranquility before a storm.

Inside a hidden base somewhere in "Honkai: Star Rail," Zhou Xuan and Xingluo stood before the window, gazing at the unknown darkness in the distance, their hearts filled with solemnity and resolve.

The ancient powerhouse's steady and profound eyes moved between them, seemingly seeing through the essence of this crisis.

"We must take action '373', we cannot let this evil power continue to run rampant."

Zhou Xuan's voice was firm and powerful, breaking the silence in the room.

His eyes flickered with unyielding light; that was persistence in justice and trust in his partners.

Xingluo nodded gently; although her face was still pale, her bright eyes burned with unyielding flames.

"I'm fine, we can face it together."

Her voice was soft, yet full of power; that was silent support for Zhou Xuan and contempt for her own pain.

The ancient powerhouse smiled slightly; his smile contained the vicissitudes of time and the light of wisdom.

"Very good, I am very happy to see you have such determination. But before that, we need a careful plan."

His words were like a spring breeze, causing a warm current to surge in the hearts of Zhou Xuan and Xingluo.

Thus, the three sat around an old and rough wooden table and began to formulate a counterattack plan.

The ancient powerhouse first put forward his own insights: "We must first understand the background and purpose of this mysterious organization. Only by knowing their details can we formulate the most effective countermeasures."

Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement: "Indeed. But how to obtain this information? We currently know almost nothing about this organization."

Xingluo thought for a moment and put forward a suggestion: "Perhaps we can look for clues from their actions. Every time they appear, it is accompanied by some purpose; as long as we can track their movement trajectory, it is possible to discover their secrets."

The ancient powerhouse nodded approvingly: "This is a good idea. But we must act carefully and not alert the enemy. Lord Fu Xuan, this task will be handed over to you."

Upon hearing this, Lord Fu Xuan stood up immediately, her eyes flickering with excitement.

"Rest assured, I will definitely find their flaws.... "

After speaking, she turned and left the room, starting to collect intelligence.

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo remained in place, continuing to discuss specific combat plans with the ancient powerhouse.

The ancient powerhouse taught Zhou Xuan some ancient combat techniques and knowledge; these techniques, although simple, were extremely practical, allowing Zhou Xuan's strength to be further improved.

At the same time, he also expressed concern for Xingluo's injuries and suggested that she temporarily not participate in fierce battles.

However, Xingluo shook her head firmly: "I cannot stand by and watch. No matter what, I must fight with you."

Her tone was full of firmness and determination, making it impossible for Zhou Xuan to refuse.

In the following days, Zhou Xuan and Xingluo constantly honed their tacit understanding in training. Their cooperation became more and more tacit, and their strength became stronger and stronger.

And Dr. Ratio used his medical knowledge to treat Xingluo's injuries with all his might, allowing her to restore her combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Through everyone's joint efforts, the atmosphere of the entire base became exceptionally tense yet full of hope.

181. 【Secrets Behind the Mysterious Organization】

However, on the eve of their counterattack, Zhou Xuan unexpectedly discovered a shocking secret—a bigger conspiracy seemed to be hidden behind the mysterious organization.

This conspiracy not only involved the safety of the Honkai World but also involved deeper secrets of the universe.

"We must stop them as soon as possible!"

Zhou Xuan's voice carried unprecedented firmness and resolve. He knew well that the responsibility and mission he shouldered did not allow for the slightest slack or retreat.

Xingluo also held Zhou Xuan's hand tightly: "No matter what happens, we will face it together."

Her eyes flickered with a firm light, as if no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they could not stop their footsteps forward.

Thus, Zhou Xuan and Xingluo decided to take the risk to go to the headquarters of the mysterious organization to directly face their leader and resolve this crisis.

Before leaving, they left a letter telling Dr. Ratio and Lord Fu Xuan that if they did not return, they should continue to guard the Honkai World and protect those innocent lives.

"We will succeed."

Zhou Xuan looked at the darkness in the distance, his heart filled with faith and determination.

He believed that as long as they worked together, nothing could stop their footsteps forward.

Xingluo also nodded, her eyes full of expectations and longing for the future.

"No matter the result, we have already done our best." Her words revealed a kind of indifferent detachment, as if she were already prepared to face everything.

Thus, Zhou Xuan and Xingluo embarked on the journey to the headquarters of the mysterious organization.

They knew this road was full of unknowns and dangers, but they also knew well that they must move forward because only in this way could they protect those innocent lives and guard the peace and tranquility of the Honkai World.

Under the night sky of the Astral Express, the stars seemed to have frozen, no longer flickering, as if the universe itself was holding its breath for the coming storm.

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, two partners who had fought side by side in countless adventures, were currently standing on ruins forgotten by time, their gazes piercing through layers of shadows, reaching the secret hidden in the deepest darkness—the headquarters of the mysterious organization.

"Here, is the beginning of everything, and also the end of everything."

Zhou Xuan's voice was low and firm, his eyes flickering with unyielding light.

Xingluo gripped the weapon in her hand tightly, her gaze meeting Zhou Xuan's; there was no need for more words, the two were already of one mind.

"Let's go, to stop that crazy plan."

Xingluo said softly; her voice was light, yet carried unquestionable resolve.

The ancient powerhouse, a wise man and warrior who had been through many battles, followed silently behind them; his presence was like a moving mountain, giving the two invisible support.

The three shuttled through intricate underground passages, every step appearing exceptionally cautious.

On both sides of the passage, ancient murals recorded unknown history and legends, as if whispering the past and ambition of this organization.

Finally, they arrived before the door leading to the secret 373 laboratory.

"Are you ready?"

Zhou Xuan looked back at Xingluo and the ancient powerhouse, a flash of resolve in his eyes.

Both nodded simultaneously; immediately, Zhou Xuan gently pushed open the door, and an ominous aura rushed toward them; the scene inside the laboratory was shocking.

Inside huge glass containers, energy of different colors intertwined and entangled, like out-of-control dragons, attempting to break free from their bonds and merge into one.

The busy figures of researchers appeared exceptionally small in the interplay of light and shadow, their faces written with fanaticism and unease.

"This is their plan... attempting to fuse the power of worlds..."

182. 【Cannot Just Fall Like This!】

Xingluo's voice trembled slightly; she had never seen such a crazy and dangerous experiment.

"We must stop them." Zhou Xuan clenched his fists and walked toward the experimental table step by step.

However, just then, an alarm sounded abruptly, and the entire laboratory was instantly shrouded in the red light of the alarm.

"Not good, we've been discovered!" The ancient powerhouse roared, immediately drawing his sword to prepare for the enemy.

But it was too late; the surrounding walls suddenly opened, and dozens of well-equipped guards rushed out, surrounding the three.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out; Zhou Xuan and Xingluo stood back-to-back, engaging in a fierce clash with the enemy.

The ancient powerhouse used his rich combat experience to shuttle through the crowd, looking for a breakthrough.

However, the number of enemies was simply too large, and their physical strength and energy were rapidly consumed, making the situation increasingly critical.

"This won't work; we must find the core of the experiment and destroy it!"

Zhou Xuan shouted loudly, his gaze locked on a huge device in the center of the experimental table.

"I'll cover you!"

The ancient powerhouse roared, swinging his sword to slash at the rushing enemies, winning time for Zhou Xuan and Xingluo.

The two took the opportunity to rush toward the experimental table, but just then, a cold voice echoed in the laboratory.

"Hmph, want to destroy my plan? You are still too green."

The mysterious organization leader slowly stepped into the laboratory; his figure was elongated by the strong light behind him, appearing exceptionally tall. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
