Aili and Fu Hua, who had just left not long ago, quickly turned their heads towards Heliopos Life Science after hearing a large volley of gunshots.
After exchanging glances, and confirming the nearest logistics location, they quickly ran towards it.
The logistics location here happened to be a hotel.
They didn't knock on the door or say any secret codes; they simply ran to the front desk and placed their terminals on it to identify themselves.
"Help us look after this girl. If she wakes up, make her pass out again, understand?" After handing the girl, who was being used as an experimental subject, to the front desk, they quickly rushed towards Heliopos Life Science.
In Shenzhou, firearms are always the most strictly controlled.
Although the gunshots from Heliopos Life Science made nearby residents curious, they all hid themselves well.
When Aili and Fu Hua arrived, they saw Raven swiftly dodging attacks from an individual that was indistinguishable as either a Death Soldier or a Honkai Beast.
As Aili and Fu Hua got closer, a robot nearby emitted a sound.
"Miss Aili, Fu Hua, Your Excellency." Gray Serpent's voice came from the robot's speaker.
"Gray Serpent? What's going on?" Aili quickly inquired.
"That Honkai Beast-like individual is Jackal."
"Jackal? Isn't she dead?" Aili asked with a frown.
"Before she died, Jackal injected the serum she had researched into her own body."
"Miss Aili, Fu Hua, Your Excellency, I hope you two will take action and kill Jackal," Gray Serpent said calmly.
"If the two of you don't act, Raven won't be able to stop Jackal, and it will only cause greater casualties."
"Are you threatening us?" Aili said with some displeasure.
"It's not a threat; this is simply the optimal solution at present." Gray Serpent showed no emotional fluctuation.
In his opinion, Aili and Fu Hua would definitely take action; it was only a matter of time.
"Gray Serpent, honestly, I really want to just dismantle you," Aili said after taking a deep breath.
"The individual here can be disposed of by Miss Aili as she pleases." The robot pointed in the direction where Gray Serpent was located.
After sensing it for a moment, Aili clicked her tongue in annoyance.
Because the Gray Serpent here was already considered a separate individual; his connection to other Gray Serpents had been directly severed.
"Hua, let's go." Although Aili was very displeased, what Gray Serpent said was indeed correct.
Jackal in this state definitely couldn't be allowed to escape, otherwise, it was hard to estimate what she would grow into.
After all, the surrounding Honkai Energy was still continuously gathering towards Jackal.
Jackal was clearly still growing.
Aili quickly drew her bowstring, and then an arrow flew out.
This arrow was just an ordinary one, as Raven was also beside Jackal.
As the arrow approached, Jackal's speed suddenly increased, and she dodged the attack.
Raven also quickly pulled away at this point, letting out a sigh of relief.
Raven's body now had multiple points of damage, and traces of blood flowed out along her armor.
Raven's bow also had many nicks, clearly, this bow was now unusable.
Several claws on her other hand were also broken off.
If Aili and the others had arrived any later, Raven would have had to flee directly.
After Raven left, Fu Hua quickly arrived in front of Jackal.
Aili's arrow also followed Fu Hua and directly pierced Jackal's body.
"Hey, Raven, what exactly is going on with this Jackal?" Aili asked with some surprise.
Even Aili's most ordinary arrows had a penetrating ability that an ordinary Honkai Beast's shell couldn't block.
"I don't know, who knows what else Jackal has researched," Raven said after catching her breath.
The arrow stuck in Jackal's body quickly fell out during the clash between Jackal and Fu Hua.
After pushing Jackal back once more, Fu Hua frowned as she looked at Jackal's body.
The previous attack didn't feel very substantial.
Aili's arrow flew towards Jackal again; this time, the arrow passed directly through Jackal's body, but there wasn't a single mark on Jackal's body.
"What exactly did Jackal inject into herself?" Aili frowned as she looked at Jackal.
Just now, Aili's arrow didn't hit; although it passed through Jackal's body, it had no effect whatsoever.
Aili had imbued that arrow with the power of death.
The arrow that flew past Jackal turned into points of light and dissipated under Aili's control, without harming anything.
"Hua, did you feel that just now?" Aili asked Fu Hua through their communication.
"Yes, there's something extra on Jackal's body," Fu Hua said seriously.
"Hua, let's finish this quickly; it's still absorbing the surrounding Honkai Energy." After Aili finished speaking, she quickly drew her bowstring.
"Mm." Fu Hua no longer hesitated either; some red highlights appeared in the hair on Fu Hua's forehead, and then Fu Hua transformed into a red afterimage and charged towards Jackal.
The two attacked continuously; now, no one knew which attack would actually hit.
The robot controlled by Gray Serpent had long since stopped attacking, evacuating the curious residents nearby.
Raven, meanwhile, quickly entered a room by following the wall of Heliopos Life Science, then took out a sniper rifle and lay by the window, constantly aiming at Jackal.
However, Raven had no intention of firing, as she couldn't coordinate with Fu Hua at all.
She also wasn't familiar with Fu Hua's combat habits.
The situation on the battlefield was now clear.
Jackal was completely unable to counterattack under Aili and Fu Hua's assault.
Furthermore, Jackal's body was already pierced by multiple arrows.
These arrows all carried black mist representing death.
As the black mist slowly spread over Jackal's entire body, Jackal's body slowly disintegrated.
Finally, Jackal's body was kicked by Fu Hua onto a decorative pillar.
After breaking several decorative pillars in a row, Jackal slammed hard into the wall of the Heliopos Life Science building.
After Jackal struggled to stand up, she stumbled and fell to the ground again.
With a low wolf howl, Jackal's entire body dissipated.
After Jackal was completely dead, Aili retrieved her weapon and quickly walked to Fu Hua's side, relieved after confirming that Fu Hua's body hadn't been stained with the black mist.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Aili and Fu Hua, Your Excellency," Gray Serpent said as he walked over to them.
"You can explain this kind of thing to Schicksal and the Shenzhou authorities yourself." Aili glanced at Gray Serpent, then directly pulled Fu Hua away.
All photographic equipment in the vicinity that had captured the two of them had their images deleted by Aili.
After Jackal appeared, it no longer mattered who had caused the Honkai incident.
Because Jackal's appearance looked like a product of Honkai.
Therefore, the culprit could only be Heliopos Life Science.
(Pull her out and fight again, after all, it's quite normal for Jackal to experiment on her own body.)
