My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Luo Chen approached one of the mechs, and the mech immediately switched to defensive mode upon seeing someone approaching.

"The artificial intelligence of snakes in this world is impressive."

Luo Chen praised them, saying that these mechs were copies of those from World Serpent, but in essence, World Serpent copied the mechs from Anti-Entropy and then modified their performance.

These mechs were too conspicuous, so Luo Chen decided to dismantle them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Now it was time to move on.

Luo Chen dismantled everything here and continued onward with Xilin, searching for a place like a refuge.

"Cirin, wait a minute, there seems to be something ahead."

Luo Chen sensed a group of Honkai Beasts from a great distance, along with a Valkyrie squad. Judging from the intensity of the Honkai energy, they were clearly engaged in a fierce battle.

"Cilin, let's hurry, the people ahead are in danger."

Luo Chen pulled Xilin along as they ran, and soon they saw the group of Honkai Beasts and the Valkyrie squad that was trapped.

"You stay here, I'm going to rescue people."

Luo Chen left behind a sentence and flashed away, a long sword appearing in his hand. He slashed at the Honkai Beast closest to him, killing it instantly. The Honkai Beast collapsed helplessly to the ground.

After taking down one Honkai Beast, Luo Chen attacked the remaining ones, helping the Valkyries escape danger in just a few moments.

"who are you?"

The leading Valkyrie exclaimed in amazement when she saw that Luo Chen had single-handedly defeated the Honkai Beast that their entire team could barely handle.

"As you can see, a passing traveler."

Luo Chen sheathed his sword in the makeshift scabbard. He didn't use the Earthly Treasury Soul, mainly because he found it troublesome; outsiders would definitely ask about it if they saw it.

Luo Chen looked at the Valkyries. The armor they wore was an old model that had been discontinued. This type of armor had been completely replaced in his timeline, and he had only seen it in books.

At this point in time, artificial Stigmata have not yet been fully developed. The main way for Valkyries to fight against the Honkai is to sacrifice their lives, and high-level combat power is extremely scarce.

"Thank you for saving us. There are still many Honkai beasts in this snowfield. It's too dangerous for you to stay here alone. You should leave as soon as possible."

"I will. Um, I wanted to ask, are there any villages nearby?"

"Yes, if you walk east for about half an hour, you will see a small village."

"Thanks, I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute, sir, I haven't asked you your name yet!"

Just call me the traveler.

"Brother Luo Chen, you're back!"

When Xilin saw Luo Chen return, she immediately went up to him and took his hand, her eyes sparkling.

"Brother Luo Chen, you're amazing! You took down so many monsters all by yourself."

"Of course. Your brother is very capable! Alright, let's continue on our way."

Enjoying Xilin's adoring gaze, Luo Chen headed east, hoping to reach the village before sunset.

Chapter 212 The Babylonian Lolita Five

Luo Chen saw a wisp of firelight from afar, and his heart skipped a beat, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

After walking a while longer, a faint smell of blood filled the air. Luo Chen knew something was wrong and picked up Xilin, flying towards the village.

The closer they got to the village, the stronger the stench of blood became. Several corpses lay on the ground, and Luo Chen quickly covered Xilin's eyes.

"Cirin, don't look."

Luo Chen flew over the corpses and looked at the huge Thunder God-level Honkai Beast inside the village. Blood covered its shield and lance, and half of its corpse was even hanging on its spear.

"I wonder if this guy has slaughtered the entire village."

The village was small; Luo Chenfei could scan it from the air in a few seconds. There wasn't a soul in sight on the streets. Several houses had been completely consumed by flames, and most of the rest were engulfed in fire. Hot blood splattered on the ground, forming a trail of blood. Corpses lay scattered haphazardly in the snow, most missing limbs; it was considered fortunate if any of them had a complete body.

The Jizo Mitama appeared in Luo Chen's hand. Luo Chen placed Xilin in a safe place and told her to look away, while he went to deal with the Honkai Beast.

The Honkai Beast noticed Luo Chen flying towards it, shook off the corpse on its spear, and was about to swing its sword when Luo Chen cleaved it in half at the waist.

After confirming that the Honkai Beast was completely dead, Luo Chen went to extinguish the fire and returned to Sirin's side after confirming that there was no danger nearby.

"Brother Luo Chen, you're back."

Sirin said timidly, explaining that she had glanced at the Honkai Beasts out of curiosity and was terrified by the horrific scene inside the village, which had left her legs feeling weak.

"Yeah, you were scared, weren't you?"

Luo Chen comforted Xilin, saying that he had just glanced into the remaining houses and it seemed that the people in this village had either fled or been killed by Honkai Beasts. It seemed that this place was no longer safe to stay.

"Brother Luo Chen, are all the people here... dead?"

Xilin gripped Luo Chen's sleeve tightly, pressing her face against his arm. She still couldn't quite accept the bloody scene; her stomach felt churning.

"more or less."

Luo Chen was already used to it. He had seen many such scenes over the years, not to mention that he was sometimes forced by Otto to undertake assassination missions. These were just minor incidents.

"That's how the world is. Death can find you out of nowhere and take your life away without explanation. That's life."

Xilin leaned against Luo Chen without speaking, her thoughts drifting back to the day her mother left. Her body trembled uncontrollably, fearing that Luo Chen would leave her like her mother had.

"Alright, Sirin, don't be afraid. Let's find something usable here and then leave."

After wandering around several houses, Luo Chen found some canned goods, drinking water, and some fresh ingredients, which he then threw into the imaginary space.

"Cirin, we should go."

Just as Luo Chen was about to leave with Xilin, he ran into the Valkyrie squad, who arrived late. Judging from the strength of their Honkai energy, they were probably about the same as the Valkyrie he had rescued not long ago.

"Oh no, I'm too late!"

The squad leader looked at the scene of devastation, her heart heavy. Her squad had received a report of Honkai Beasts appearing in the village, but despite their haste, they were too late.

"Captain, there are still survivors!"

One of the Valkyries pointed in the direction of Luo Chen and his companion, and everyone in the team looked in that direction. The captain even ran to Luo Chen's side as fast as he could.

"Sir, are you alright? We're sorry we're late."

"I arrived quite late; I've already taken care of that Honkai Beast."

Luo Chen pointed at the Honkai Beast that had been split in two. The Valkyrie Captain was dumbfounded. It took several of them to work together to deal with the Thunder God-level Honkai Beast, but Luo Chen had taken it down all by himself!

"Sir, thank you for helping us deal with this Honkai Beast. Where are you headed next? We can give you a ride."

"What's next... to be honest, I don't know either. Are there any shelters nearby?"

"Yes, we came from the shelter."

The captain solemnly assured them that they would bring Luo Chen and the other person safely to the shelter. Luo Chen didn't hesitate and agreed to go with them.

"By the way, how much longer until we arrive?"

On the way, Luo Chen tried to get some information out of the Valkyrie, but she refused, saying it was confidential. Luo Chen didn't press the matter and just asked for the time.

"Almost there, just ahead."

One of the Valkyries pointed to several small tents that were faintly visible in the distance; it seemed that those were the shelters.

"Can these few small tents really withstand a blizzard?"

Luo Chen expressed his doubts, as the quality of the tent was clearly not as good as the one he had built himself. However, since it was a product from more than ten years ago, this was to be expected.

"There's nothing we can do; this is just a temporary shelter for refugees. Their accommodations will have to be arranged by the government."

The Valkyrie sighed. The people here not only face the harsh weather every day, but also the ever-present threat of collapse. All they can offer is a temporary shelter when people are displaced.

"There's really nothing we can do about it."

Luo Chen wholeheartedly agreed. He and Sirin had encountered several Honkai Beast hordes along the way, which were indeed difficult for the current Valkyries to deal with, let alone unarmed civilians.

"Mr. Luo Chen, we have arrived."

Upon arriving at the temporary shelter, Luo Chen saw a rather familiar-looking little girl. Upon closer inspection, wasn't that Bella?

'Goodness, Benares's human form really does look like her.'

"Cilin, go play somewhere else for a bit. I have something I want to talk to these older sisters about."

After sending Sirin to contact Bella, Luo Chen went straight to the Valkyrie Captain and asked her for a map.

"What do you want a map for?"

Although the Valkyrie captain was puzzled, she still gave it to Luo Chen, curious about how he had managed to travel without a map these past few days.

"I need to find a way. I need to find a place where I can live with my sister."

Luo Chen pointed at Xilin, who was chatting with Bella, and saw three more little girls appear beside Xilin. A pixel-sized smile appeared on his lips. He really wanted to complain about what kind of divine luck this was.

That's right, the other three little ones next to Celine are Aurora, Agatha, and Galina. I didn't expect that the three of them and Bella would be here. I've finally gathered the Babylonian Five. How about I get an achievement?

The Valkyrie captain also looked at the five people who were chatting enthusiastically. Her eyes were slightly dazed for a moment before she turned her head and solemnly faced Luo Chen.

"Mr. Luo Chen, I have a favor to ask."

"I roughly know what you're trying to say. You want me to take these four little ones with me, right?"

“That’s right, these four little ones are all orphans, and it’s not good for them to stay here forever. So I hope Mr. Luo Chen can take them with him.”

"Aren't you afraid I'll abandon them halfway?"
