Life in the collapsed world from scratch

Escaping is useful, but it can't last long. They finally need to muster up the courage to face this power.Besides, they may be about to encounter a crisis soon, Cheng Xi hopes that they can at least master a certain ability to protect themselves.

Although it may be a bit tight in terms of time to start practicing now, it is better to hold Buddha's feet temporarily than not hold at all.Besides, based on Cheng Xi's past experience, it is always useful to memorize all night before the exam, at least he never failed a class because of it.

This is also the reason why he modified her double guns for Qiyana. The time is limited, and only in battle can they get familiar with their own power the fastest.

Originally, Siegfried's Skyfire Spears should be a better choice, but the power of the God's Key is not what the two of them can use now, so they can only make a second choice.

"Fighting? I already know it!" Kiyana raised her pistol and made a few shooting gestures: "Do you want to see it? This is the Kaslana family's gun fighting technique."

Cheng Xi pouted.

The Kaslana family's gun fighting skills?Is there a 406MM high-explosive bomb powerful?

"Remember girl, firepower is king." Cheng Xiyu said earnestly.

When we really got into a fight, I didn’t see your father and your ancestors using gun fighting skills. Didn’t they all take the Heavenly Fire Sword and chop off other people’s heads?

"Eh? Is that so?" Kiyana tilted her head, a little confused.She felt that Cheng Xi's words seemed to make sense, but the gun fighting technique is really handsome, isn't it?

"Well, I..." Xier's timid voice came from the side, she bit her lip lightly, holding a pistol in her arms, looking a little nervous.

I can't do things like fighting.The girl said to herself in her heart.

For the girl who has been living in the orphanage since she can remember, fighting is really too far away. She is weak by nature and never thinks that she will have anything to do with these two words.

If you don't try it, how will you know?

It was as if a voice from deep inside answered.

"No, I..." Xier shook her head, raised her head and wanted to say something, but when her eyes met those black eyes, the words that had reached her mouth suddenly froze.

"Don't be afraid, Xi'er." Cheng Xi reached out and stroked the girl's soft hair, and said softly, "I believe in you, you can do it."

This is what the girl must face, and the power of the stigmata doomed her life to be impossible to pass smoothly.Even if she doesn't like fighting anymore, she still needs to master a certain ability to protect herself.

"Don't worry, I will protect you when the time comes!" Kiyana showed a bright smile and comforted the girl in her own unique way.

"..."

Feeling the touch from her head, Xier only felt that the fear and apprehension in her heart disappeared miraculously.She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded vigorously.

"Well, I'll try my best!".

Chapter 47 The Existence of Honkai Will

The gunshots echoed among the buildings accompanied by the girl's yelling. Cheng Xi stood on the roof of a building and looked at the two figures not far away, and nodded slightly.

They are now in the small city where a small Honkai happened before. After the follow-up rescue and sweep by Destiny, there are no other residents living in the vicinity, and only some not-so-dangerous dead soldiers and small Honkai beasts are left behind. , very suitable as a place for practice.

As Qiyana herself said, her foundation is there, and she won't feel too much pressure against such a few dead soldiers and small Honkai beasts.Xier seemed clumsy in comparison, but at least she already had the courage to fight.

"Tap..."

Faint footsteps came from behind, and before Cheng Xi turned his head, a familiar voice came from his ear: "So you are here, it's really easy for me to find."

Siegfried stepped forward and stood beside him, put his hands in his pockets and looked down, and then turned his eyes back to Cheng Xi: "Take my daughter out of the house quietly, and don't talk to me." Will the guardian say something?"

You guys sleep like a dead pig, who is to blame?Cheng Xi complained in her heart, without stopping:

"What? Are you afraid that I won't be able to abduct your precious daughter?"

"Is it still necessary to turn?" Siegfried glanced at him and said pointingly.

Cheng Xi was silent.

"Huh..." Siegfried took a long breath, turned his gaze to the fighting figure below, and said in an inexplicable tone: "The matter of Kiyana...you should know about it?"

Cheng Xi nodded: "Tianming's secrecy work is not very good, or Otto himself didn't think about concealing this matter, anti-entropy can easily..."

"Theresa told you, right?" Siegfried interrupted, seemingly asking, but his tone was already very firm.

He knew that after the end of the Second Houkai War, Otto seemed to have the idea of ​​using the power of God's Key to modify Theresa's memory of this war, but because of the unexpected defense from Theresa Ended with failure.

Since then, the relationship between Teresa and Otto has become very delicate, and it is not impossible to disclose this news to Anti-Entropy, especially under the premise that she has a good relationship with the young man in front of her.

Cheng Xi remained silent, neither admitting nor denying it.Since Siegfried is willing to think so, let him go, and save yourself from wasting saliva.

"So, what do you think?" Siegfried stared at Cheng Xi closely and asked, "I want to know, what kind of existence is Qiyana to you now?"

He had asked himself this question more than once. To him, who was the girl who was once numbered "K423" and now named "Qiana".

On that morning a year ago, he found the answer for himself.And now, he wanted to know the boy's answer.

"..." Faced with Siegfried's question, Cheng Xi didn't answer directly, but changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Siegfried, what do you think Honkai is?"

Siegfried frowned, not knowing what Cheng Xi wanted to express when he answered the wrong question.

"Let me ask it another way." Cheng Xi glanced at the land under his feet, raised his head and asked, "Do you think that what humans are fighting against is the Herrscher or the Honkai?"

"What are you talking about?" Siegfried looked at him with strange eyes: "Isn't Herrscher the incarnation of Houkai?"

"Is that true?" Cheng Xi shook his head and said, "Let me describe to you the nature of the Houkai energy known to mankind."

"Honkai energy, or imaginary internal energy, is a kind of energy that has never been seen in past technology. Its efficiency is higher than any existing energy in the world. It is like a natural phenomenon, but Only appear near civilization."

"It can be easily converted into other forms of energy, seemingly without any thermodynamic constraints."

Siegfried frowned. This information was not a secret. Basically everyone who knew about Honkai knew it. He didn't know what Cheng Xi wanted to express when he suddenly said this.

Cheng Xi ignored the doubts on his face, and continued: "Life is actually not special to the universe, and the universe has never had special care for life before, but Houkai Neng is different, it seems to have a special liking for life. "

"Human beings will become dead soldiers if they are eroded, and even the essence of existence will change if the beasts are eroded, from carbon-based creatures to silicon-based Honkai beasts. Herrschers are even more strange. They seem to only grow from humans Born to condense the core of the Herrscher in the body, with hatred for human beings, the purpose of existence is to destroy human civilization."

"What about stones? These inorganic substances will not be eroded at all."

Siegfried couldn't help but interrupted, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Mr. Siegfried." Cheng Xi looked at him, shook his head and said, "Don't you think Honkai is a bit too complicated as a natural phenomenon?"

According to Occam's razor "don't multiply entities unnecessarily", the simplest explanation of a phenomenon is often more correct than the more complex one.

Of course, it can also be said here that "the great way is simple", and the thoughts expressed are actually similar.

This theory is well in line with all the physical laws that humans have summed up so far, and even the most complicated frontier scientific fields are now tending to be integrated.

But at this moment, the appearance of Honkai immediately made this originally simple universe complicated.

It can't conform to the existing laws of physics at all, and it's like a rampaging stone to this world, forcing the universe to adapt to its existence, so outrageous that it doesn't make sense at all.

"This..." Facing Cheng Xi's question, Siegfried was speechless, and after holding back for a long time, he said: "The principle of Houkai energy is a question that scientists like Dr. Einstein should study? You ask me What's the use?"

"What principle? There is no principle at all." Cheng Xi shook his head and said, "This is the setting."

Because it is a setting, there is no need to reason at all, because it is like this.Just like positive and negative charges attract each other, the strong interaction only takes effect at the microscopic scale, and the speed of light is the upper limit of the speed of matter, but the setting of the Houkai energy is much more complicated and full of various artificial traces.

"Setting?" Siegfried was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked: "Who set it up?"

"Yeah..." Cheng Xi looked at him, with some deep meaning in his words: "Who set it up?"

"..."

Thinking carefully about the meaning of Cheng Xi's words, Siegfried suddenly felt a little chilly in his body. He swallowed, and asked in a dry voice: "You said yes, there is actually a certain will on top of Honkai. ?”

……

PS: Does anyone like to read little knowledge like this?If I don’t like it, I will write less in the future. To be honest, it’s really tiring to write.

Chapter 48 Believing and Affirming

"Huh...huh..."

Xi'er was panting heavily, looking ahead vigilantly, her hands tightly holding the pistol trembled slightly.

Although physically exhausted, the girl's spirit was a little excited.After a short battle, she no longer has the fear of fighting in her heart, and she will no longer be at a loss as she was at the beginning when facing the enemies that appear.

As Cheng Xi said, she did it.

Such a self should have lived up to his expectations, right?

Xi'er calmed down her breathing, and thought silently in her heart.

"boom!"

The fire was lit, and wisps of white smoke came out from the muzzle of the gun. Not far away, the body of the dead man shook twice and fell straight down.

Qiyana turned the pistol twice and put it back into the holster, and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmph, are there only enemies of this level? Too simple, right?"

For her who has upgraded her equipment, it is not easy to solve it.

Kiyana put her hands on her hips. If it was just this level of enemies, she would not be afraid no matter how many came.

Simply put, she swells.

However, before the girl swelled for a long time, the wall next to her shattered with a loud bang, and a tall black figure holding a giant shield and spear appeared, and the pink bioluminescent light was looming in the smoke and dust, creating an extreme sense of oppression. come.

Kiyana immediately came back to her senses, raised her pistol and fired "bang bang bang".However, the bullets only left a few small indentations on the giant shield, which were not enough to penetrate the thick armor.

"Remember girls, firepower is king."

Cheng Xi's words at that time resurfaced in Qiyana's mind, and only then did she truly realize the correctness of these words.

It's a pity that it's too late to pursue firepower at this time. Fortunately, Cheng Xi left a sentence for them before:

"If you encounter an enemy that you really can't deal with, I have another move here." Cheng Xi said with a serious expression at the time: "Remember, this is a tactic passed down from generation to generation by the Qiao family. It is more effective than any tactic in times of crisis. Be easy to use!"

"That is--"

Kiyana pulled Xier's wrist beside her, and ran to the other side of the street without looking back:

"run!"

Caught off guard, Xi'er was staggered, but she quickly adjusted her figure and followed closely behind the girl.

However, unlike Kiyana, who inherited the blood of Kaslana and Shaniat and was born with a physique that surpassed ordinary people, Xier is no more than an ordinary girl in terms of strength when the stigmata ability has not yet appeared.

Originally, after going through the previous battle, the girl's physical strength has been seriously exhausted, and now her little face is pale when she runs. For a while, she only feels dizzy, her hands and feet are extremely heavy, and her breathing becomes short of breath.

"Bam—!"

The spear slammed down, and the ground crumbled under the force, causing gravel to fly and smoke and dust everywhere.

The violent tremor made Xi'er stagger, and finally she couldn't support her exhausted body and fell to the ground.

"Ciel!"
