K424 of the Collapse World

As she spoke words that she herself could not agree with, the image of a silver-haired girl flashed through her mind. Fu Hua opened her eyes and looked around at her teammates.

"So, before we go to the reconnaissance team, we should first search the surrounding environment now."

While giving orders, she walked straight to a nearby hill. The other team members were silent for a moment, then began to carry out her orders.

Now at the top of the hill, Fu Hua looked at the wasteland in the distance and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

(You really did something remarkable, Shirley. Come to think of it, I never thought you would be considered the third Herrscher...)

With a sigh in her heart, she continued with her misleading orders.

All of this is to protect my partner...

Originally, the actions of the frozen earth armor were quite obvious. If they had immediately gone to investigate the location where the reconnaissance team was attacked, they would have quickly found the traces of Lan Feng and his group. However, under Fu Hua's covert manipulation, they were doomed to not be able to find the town quickly.

"I never thought... in such a region with frequent collapses, there would be such a large-scale settlement!"

The frozen armor stopped near a plain, and Tesla got a

Looking at a group of buildings in the distance, I couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course... these are the results of my two years of hard work."

Siegfried said with some pride. The next moment, he hugged Kiana tightly, jumped off the platform of the frozen earth armor, and stood on the ground again.

"Okay, Dr. Tesla, we won't be able to carry a big thing like that into town next time. Is there any way to put it away?"

Looking at Kiana in his arms, Siegfried then turned his gaze to the huge mecha in front of him and asked.

Hearing this, Tesla opened the door of the mecha cockpit and took Lan Feng out of the mecha.

"Well, we're pretty close anyway, are you okay, Shirley?"

"It's fine."

As she spoke, Lan Feng left Tesla's support and stood up on her own. Although her steps were a little shaky, she had regained her basic mobility.

Seeing this, Tesla nodded and operated the watch-like terminal on his wrist. The next moment, the huge mecha became illusory and soon disappeared completely, transformed into a quantum state and contained.

"Okay, let's go."

So, the four of them started moving towards the town not far away. On the way, Lan Feng looked at Siegfried who was holding the girl, and began to think about how to organize his words and what questions he would ask...

129 Frank

"Hey... look over there."

"Mr. Siegfried is back. Is...his daughter injured?"

"By the way, Mr. Siegfried brought back two people..."

……

Lan Feng clearly noticed that since he followed Siegfried into the village, people kept greeting him on the road. Even people in the distance stopped and pointed at him and talked about him.

Siegfried used his coat to cover the wound on his abdomen. Although he looked exhausted, he endured the pain of the wound with great willpower, and ordinary people could not see any signs of injury on him.

On the other hand, in order to avoid trouble, Lan Feng borrowed a coat from the quantum leap system of the Tesla terminal before entering the town, put it on himself, tucked his long silver hair into the clothes, and found a hat to wear on his head to cover up his appearance which was exactly the same as Kiana.

Tesla looked coldly at Siegfried who was greeting people around him. After she had formed a prejudice against this man, she felt uncomfortable no matter what he did.

"Mr. Siegfried, did you go out to fight the Honkai beasts today? Wait, what happened to Kiana...?"

At this time, a man who looked a little old came over, waved to Siegfried, and then turned his gaze to Kiana in his arms.

"Mr. Village Chief, oh no, should I call you Mr. Town Chief now? Haha... Kiana is fine, she just fell asleep because she was too tired."

Siegfried answered casually. Fortunately, when he left, he did not say goodbye to these people in person, so they just treated him as if he was going to fight as usual. Thanks to this, a lot of unnecessary embarrassment and trouble was avoided.

"Just call me the village chief. After all, I'm used to it. So, who are these two...?"

At this time, the village chief looked at the two people behind Siegfried. Looking at the combination of the red-haired girl and the other short figure, the old man showed a trace of doubt on his face, and asked Siegfried.

"They...are my former friends. They wandered around the world just like me. I just happened to meet them today. I'd like to invite them to stay here for a while. Mr. Village Chief, is that okay?"

"Of course, Mr. Siegfried, since they are your friends, I certainly have no objection."

The old man waved his hand and said so. Then he looked at Tesla and Lan Feng and smiled kindly.

"Mr. Siegfried is a great hero here. Since you are his friends, you must be very remarkable people...! Of course, you are very welcome to come. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me."

"Well, thank you."

Tesla just nodded slightly, while Lan Feng thanked him softly. On the other side, the old man frowned slightly when he heard her voice. He always felt that he had heard this girl's voice somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where. He could only blame it on his age.

"Okay, ladies, I won't bother you any more. I hope you enjoy your stay here."

The village chief said as he walked away. Before leaving, he gave Siegfried a look that all men understood, and glanced at Tesla and Lan Feng beside him. The meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

Siegfried could only smile bitterly at this. He and these two people were not related in that way at all, but he was not sure what the relationship between them was.

Obviously, they did not regard themselves as prisoners. Besides, the relationship between the two parties was not close, it was just their first meeting.

So, I and these two members of Anti-Entropy can only be regarded as strangers who are temporarily cooperating. But the question arises again, the one who is with Qi

Why would a girl who looks exactly like Yana help him? And what is her identity? Why is she a member of Anti-Entropy when she has Kaslana's bloodline?

Thinking that the problems that had tormented him along the way would soon be solved, Siegfried felt a little excited. He could not help but quicken his pace, and walked towards the cottage that belonged to him with the two girls behind him.

"I'm sorry, the room is a bit small. Please make do with it."

As he spoke, he freed one hand to grab the door handle, opened the door, and walked in first. Lan Feng and Tesla followed behind him and also entered the house that didn't look that big.

Siegfried first walked to the bed in the front of the room and gently placed the girl in his arms on the bed. Then he turned around and walked straight to the small table next to him. He looked at the note on the table and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I haven't been away for long, and no one has come in yet. Otherwise, it would be awkward if this farewell letter was seen and I came back later..."

Siegfried put the note into his pocket with a wry smile, then took off his coat and threw it aside. He turned to the direction of Lan Feng and Tesla without paying attention to the wound on his body.

"Okay, do we need to introduce ourselves first?"

Siegfried sat on the edge of the bed and asked the two people in front of him. On the other side, Lan Feng closed the door and turned around, looking at Siegfried who couldn't wait to ask questions, and sighed softly.

"Of course we know you, Siegfried Kaslana. I told you my name before, and Frey introduced herself to you. Is there any need for me to introduce myself?"

Speaking casually, Lan Feng found a chair in the room and sat down directly. Then he took off his hat and pulled out his long silver hair that was tucked under his collar, letting it fall down.

"Ah... That being said, it is indeed necessary. After all, although I know your name, I don't know who you are. I just learned about Miss Tesla's identity, but now, Miss Silis Kaslana, I wonder if you can tell me who you are?"

Siegfried spoke frivolously, but his eyes became serious as he stared at Lan Feng, who looked helpless. He could tell that the other party was not avoiding the question, but for some reason, it seemed difficult to speak.

Tesla next to him snorted and narrowed his eyes slightly. Thinking of what Lan Feng had told her before, he turned his head and looked aside, not intending to participate in the conversation between the two.

Lan Feng lowered her head slightly in response to Siegfried's question. Speaking of which, she suddenly felt a strange sense of tension, and she herself couldn't explain what it was. If I were to use an analogy...

What is this feeling like when your husband catches you having an affair?...?

Ugh! I'm not Cecilia, why am I thinking such weird things?

At this moment, in Siegfried's eyes, the silver-haired girl's face suddenly became a little ugly, and she was struggling with a little entanglement and pain. Seeing this, Siegfried's heart skipped a beat, and he began to worry about whether one of his guesses was true...

(Could it be...?! No! That's impossible. How could Cecilia, such a virtuous wife, do something to let me down?)

Unconsciously, the atmosphere at the scene became a little solemn. Even Tesla, who looked indifferent, shuddered and looked at the two people with heavy expressions in doubt. She didn't understand what happened suddenly, why did the two of them become like this at the same time, some kind of tacit understanding between husband and wife?

Thinking of this, she felt a little depressed for some reason, which further added to the solemn atmosphere at the scene.

After a long time, Lan Feng breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead in breaking the suffocating atmosphere in the room.

(What is coming cannot be avoided...)

As she thought this, she looked directly at Siegfried, who looked confused for some reason, and coughed twice.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Siegfried. I was distracted just now. I will answer your question next."

Lan Feng spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, his expression gradually becoming more serious. Seeing this, Siegfried also secretly focused his attention, waiting for the girl's next words.

"Mr. Siegfried, to be precise, I should be one of the replicas of your daughter, Kiana Kaslana, with the experimental number k424."

"oh……?"

Hearing this, Siegfried's expression changed a little, but the girl's identity was still within his guess. It seemed... not as explosive as he expected?

Unconsciously, Siegfried felt himself relieved, but the next moment, he suddenly thought of something and once again cast his gaze on the serious-looking girl in front of him.

"Wait, your experiment number is k424, and she..."

129 Frankly speaking >>

As he spoke, he looked at the other silver-haired girl who was unconscious beside him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, I am the next experimental subject under the number K423. I was created together with her for a certain experiment."

Seeing the understanding in Siegfried's eyes, Lan Feng nodded.

He then admitted his identity.

"But, why are you...in Anti-Entropy?"

Although he had figured out the girl's identity, Siegfried still had many doubts. The girl's previous interactions with him were not good enough, and her behavior was not what a clone could do. She was full of humanity...

Wait, in this regard, k423... no, isn't it the same for Kiana?

Suddenly thinking of this, although still a little confused, Siegfried had basically guessed what would happen next.

"Why am I in Anti-Entropy? Well... I remember that when you caused a commotion at the Destiny headquarters two years ago, I regained my consciousness. Luckily, I got the help of a researcher and escaped from the laboratory. Then I met Dr. Tesla of Anti-Entropy."

As he spoke, Lan Feng turned his gaze to the red-haired girl sitting next to him. Noticing Lan Feng's look, Tesla bit his lip and was about to say something, but Lan Feng winked at him secretly without Siegfried seeing it.

Seeing this, Tesla had no choice but to cross her arms and look indifferent. However, she felt a little uncomfortable. Although what Hillis said was the "truth", she concealed the most crucial part.

Seeing that Tesla wasn't going to say anything else, Lan Feng smiled slightly, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"After that, I joined Anti-Entropy. That's roughly what happened. In short, I am now in a completely hostile relationship with the Destiny Organization, just like you. Mr. Siegfried, do you have any other questions?"

Lan Feng smiled and asked Siegfried. She could see that Siegfried believed her words. Moreover, Lan Feng herself knew that she did not tell any lies in her words.

The communication without lies did make Lan Feng feel better.

"So...what are you doing this for? Why are you helping us?"

Looking at Lan Feng with a smile on his face, Siegfried was silent for a while, and asked with a complicated look in his eyes. He remembered clearly that in the previous situation, the girl who called herself Shilis had obviously fought for her life. Even if she had some relationship with K423, who was also a clone, such a reason was not enough to drive her to do such a thing.

"Well... don't look at me like this, I also have Kaslana's blood flowing in my body. Do you understand what I mean, Mr. Siegfried?"

Lan Feng smiled softly and looked directly into Siegfried's eyes without giving in. It was out of her own will that she chose to protect Kiana. So, she dared to speak out directly about this matter.

On the other side, Siegfried was slightly stunned when he heard Lan Feng's serious words. Then he met the girl's eyes. Noticing the other party's firm eyes, Siegfried nodded and agreed with Lan Feng's words. For a stubborn person like him, as long as the airwaves met, even if the reason was unfounded, it was enough to convince him.

"Okay, I believe you. But since you are subject K424, where did the name 'Shiris' come from?"

At this moment, Siegfried finally laughed from the bottom of his heart and began to show his true feelings to the girl in front of him. Although there were still many things that he had not asked clearly, since she was also a "knight" who adhered to Kaslana's qualities, there would be no problem.

Siegfried believed that such a person would never be a bad person. Just like in the second battle of Honkai, he easily trusted the First Ruler of Anti-Entropy, and the reason at that time was simply because he recognized Walter's qualities.

"This name... Yes, as a test subject, I don't have a name. This name was given to me by Master Tesla."

Lan Feng did not think twice and did not hesitate to pull Tesla beside him into the discussion. Hearing Lan Feng's words, Tesla looked over in surprise. She still remembered that the name was proposed by the other party herself. Otherwise, Tesla would still call her "Cecilia"...

Besides, Shiris had never used any honorifics towards herself before, so what was going on now?

Although Tesla was a little confused, Lan Feng said this for a reason. As far as she knew, Siegfried and the conservatives of Anti-Entropy would have quite a few intersections in the future. And now, Siegfried obviously had a lot of good feelings towards her because of his previous life-saving help. She could use this to make Siegfried have a good impression of Tesla.

"Master Tesla saved me from the hands of the Destiny Organization and saved me from the fate of being a test subject. After that, he took good care of me and gave me my current power. It can be said that it was Master Tesla who gave me real life..."

Lan Feng said this seriously, but Tesla felt a little embarrassed. She could tell that the girl was trying to flatter herself in front of Siegfried. Although she exaggerated some of the facts, they were basically all true. Tesla himself didn't realize that what he did was so great...

"I see, so this is why you joined Anti-Entropy. But you two seem to be very close..."

Siegfried said casually,

The confusion in his heart was also mostly eliminated. He looked at the girl in front of him who looked like Kiana, and felt more and more intimate with her. After all, a person like this who stood up for the justice of Kaslana would definitely get his respect.

Thinking of this, the red-haired girl Tesla next to him also became noble in his eyes.

"I am so sorry, Dr. Tesla. As expected, Theresa is right. Anti-entropy is indeed more humane than destiny..."

As he spoke, Siegfried extended his hand to Tesla next to him, with a hint of respect in his eyes.

He took in K423 only because she looked like Kiana. But Tesla was willing to save a test subject who had nothing to do with him. Even he couldn't help but admire such a quality.

"Yeah... yes, that's true..."

Tesla had an awkward smile on his face and stiffly grasped Siegfried's outstretched hand. She knew very well that these things were not as great as Hillis said. She chose to rescue the girl at first only because of the interests. She herself did not expect it to develop to this point. And these things, after being beautified by words, made her image full of glory.

Tesla finds this difficult to accept...

But since it has come to this, let's just let it go.
