K424 of the Collapse World

Inside the wooden house, Tesla stared blankly at the girl who walked up to him, still without saying a word.

;#

Although what happened before her was within her expectations, she had no idea what Shirley wanted to say to her. In other words, she didn't dare to guess what the girl was going to tell her...

"Siegfried has left, taking K423 with him."

Suddenly, Lan Feng said this, breaking the stagnation at the scene. Hearing this, Tesla's eyes moved slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared on his expression.

"What……?"

"What else could it be? It's just like that. He left early in the morning, and how long are you going to sleep?"

Lan Feng sighed, looked at Tesla with a confused look on his face, and recalled what happened that morning again.

Siegfried left here very early. Although he originally didn't want to take K423 with him, because the whereabouts of the tracking team of Tianming were uncertain, in order to ensure the safety of his daughter, Siegfried took the girl away first...

However, given his personality, once he was out of danger, he would probably abandon the girl and leave alone. So, although there were some minor changes, the world was still developing along its original trajectory.

"Siris, what on earth are you..."

Suddenly, Tesla's questioning voice sounded not far away. Lan Feng came back to his senses, with a sly look on his face.

"I'm so sorry... Lord Tesla. Your plan to sell me to Siegfried as a young wife has failed. Are you surprised or not?"

At this moment, Tesla's pupils shrank, and a layer of mist covered his eyes...

"Why……"

"Hmph...are you tired of me? That's right, you are a lolita complex...I won't be a lolita anymore in a few years, so you want to get rid of me now that you are tired of playing with me?"

Lan Feng changed the subject, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

“It’s not that easy!”

Noticing the surprise and confusion in the eyes of the red-haired girl, Lan Feng chuckled and said those words half-jokingly. She was not completely ignorant. After seeing Tesla's reaction, she had already guessed why the other party told Siegfried her secret.

(Although I am touched that you are so considerate of me...but...you still don't understand me. I am a little uncomfortable with you acting recklessly without my consent...)

However, contrary to Lan Feng's expectations, Tesla did not deny it as usual after hearing this joke, but still looked at the girl standing in front of him with an expression of disbelief.

"But, but... why did you do this? You clearly..."

She wanted to be with Siegfried so much, so why did she give up such a good opportunity? She rejected him instead. Why did she do this?

Tesla was puzzled, but the next moment, the girl's actions made her eyes widen again...

"Don't just guess blindly. How do you know that's what I really think? Come on, get up. I need to get something..."

Lan Feng said as she climbed onto Tesla's bed. As Tesla looked puzzled, she pulled out a coat from the other side of the bed sheet. This was exactly the coat she had worn yesterday...

"Well, Siegfried left before to avoid being hunted by Destiny, and now we should leave too. Who knows what will happen next."

Regardless of Tesla's sudden daze, Lan Feng quickly put on his clothes, turned around, looked at the red-haired girl who was still motionless, and couldn't help but urge her again.

"What are you waiting for? Do you want us to be captured by Otto and used as a gangster?"

At this point, Tesla finally came to his senses.

"Why did you leave your coat with me? Didn't you already be with Siegfried..."

She was talking incoherently, however.

This was met with a speechless expression.

"Because I'm staying here tonight... Didn't I tell you that just now? What are you thinking about? Do you think that I'm really staying with Siegfried? Forgive me... Regardless of anything else, I don't want to mess up these relationships..."

(Besides, no matter how you look at it, this body is only the age of a junior high school student... What kind of weird things are you thinking...)

Let her and Siegfried become real? It would be better to kill her directly. Although Siegfried is a pretty good person, Lan Feng's psychological gender makes it impossible for her to accept being with him...

"So, you were with me last night..."

After finally realizing this with her almost stagnant thinking ability, Tesla's expression became a little complicated.

“What? You have that expression… Don’t worry, nothing happened yesterday. I won’t do that to a girl like you…”

"What...what? Why are you still talking about such an old thing...But it was definitely my fault back then..."

As Lan Feng brought up the fictitious incident again, the complicated expression of the red-haired girl in front of her became embarrassed again, but the stagnation in her eyes had completely disappeared.

"Okay, let's get up quickly...it's almost eight o'clock, we have to set off quickly."

Seeing this, Lan Feng turned his head and said, laughing secretly and breathing a sigh of relief.

(Finally, I have restored this self-obsessed idiot to normalcy. Now, I should leave here as soon as possible...)

Lan Feng thought with some relief, but she didn't know what the red-haired girl she cared about was thinking at the moment...

What Lan Feng didn't notice was that her eyes were now covered with a layer of mist.

(Cilissa, I didn't expect you to reject Siegfried. Did you do that for me? Cialis...)

Perhaps it was because she was not the real Cecilia that she rejected Siegfried, who should have been very familiar with her. Moreover, her "daughter" still stayed in Anti-Entropy. It was probably this sense of responsibility that made her refuse to follow Siegfried and K423 and return to her side.

(It seems that I underestimated you, Shirley. Your will is stronger than I thought...)

However, Tesla did not know how strong willpower it took for a woman to give up her beloved husband and let him leave for the sake of responsibility.

As Tesla thought about it, he looked at the silver-haired girl beside him, and her eyes began to become filled with some kind of emotion...

On the other side, Lan Feng did not notice Tesla's expression change, she was still planning for the next move. Although her combat effectiveness had basically recovered, Lan Feng did not want to confront the main force of Tianming head-on again.

Thinking of what happened the day before, Lan Feng suddenly felt a headache.

Because of Tesla's plan to pit his teammates, the two of them and Siegfried had to stay here for a night.

But even so, Lan Feng still did not relax his vigilance, and even slept only lightly, always on guard against sudden attacks from the pursuit troops. However, what was puzzling was that nothing happened that night.

(Are those Valkyries lost? That’s not right… The technological level of Destiny should not be much lower than that of Anti-Entropy. Is it really like Tesla said, that their search efficiency is not high?)

Although she was somewhat puzzled by this, Lan Feng did not intend to stay any longer. After a night's rest, her body had basically recovered under the powerful Honkai energy. However, Lan Feng felt that even if she had recovered the power to protect herself, it would be better not to encounter the Destiny Force...

(After all… what’s the point of this operation? We still don’t know what’s in that ruins, and we lost a lot of our companions, and even I almost lost my life…)

As he thought helplessly, Lan Feng felt more and more that Anti-Entropy's action this time almost resulted in failure, and indeed a lot of soldiers were lost.

Miss Yuli, whom he had just met, seemed to have failed to break out either. I'm afraid she has already...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her palms into fists, with a hint of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

If I could be a little stronger...

However, even though he felt sad, what surprised Lan Feng was that the sadness was so weak that it only made him sigh and feel a little depressed.

That’s right, after experiencing killing firsthand, one won’t care as much about the loss of life as before.

136 Separation >>

(I can accept this so easily. Am I still myself?)

Lan Feng's expression gradually became complicated.

(Wait, there is one more thing. It seems that this operation is not such a failure after all...)

Suddenly thinking of the white-haired man with Kiana, Lan Feng smiled knowingly.

Due to his intervention, the man did not lose his arm to save Kiana as the original historical trajectory had shown.

Although his injuries looked terrible, Siegfried himself apparently didn't care about them.

(I'm afraid... he has completely gotten used to this kind of injury. Although this operation was a complete failure, at least Siegfried's arm was saved. From this point of view, it can be considered a gain...)

Lan Feng thought about it and glanced at Tesla who was fixing his clothes. He shook his head tiredly and said with a sigh:

"Hurry up a bit, Tesla. The pursuers of Destiny are about to arrive, but you are still taking your time. Sigh... I'll wait for you outside."

Having said this, she straightened up and walked towards the door not far behind her.

"Um...wait a minute, Qqun:543659389#Shilis, I have something to ask you..."

Suddenly, the red-haired girl behind her called her. Hearing this, Lan Feng stopped, turned around, and looked at Tesla not far away with a questioning look.

"Really...can't you ask later?"

"Siris! How...how do you see me in your eyes?"

Facing the silver-haired girl he was familiar with, this anti-entropy veteran who had lived for hundreds of years blushed like a girl in her first love and looked timidly at Lan Feng in front of him.

"of course……"

Lan Feng didn't even think twice and was about to blurt out the words "perverted lolita control", but the next moment he noticed that the red-haired girl's cheeks were already flushed, and her eyes were a little blurry...

The next moment after noticing this, Lan Feng hurriedly placed his palm on the forehead of the red-haired girl and frowned slightly.

"Strange, although I have a slight fever, it shouldn't be a fever yet... Could it be that I hit my head in the battle? This is troublesome..."

"..."

Tesla's expression froze, and her shy look was replaced by silence in an instant. She looked at the silver-haired girl who was looking at her with concern, and she was too embarrassed to get angry at her. She was just so angry that she trembled and couldn't speak for a long time. At this time, her blushing cheeks began to turn pale, and her eyes returned to their previous calm appearance.

"Phew... Don't worry, nothing has happened to me, but I'm asking you a serious question... Please give me the answer to this question!"

Although Tesla was instantly calmed down by the girl's slowness, she still insisted on asking. She really wanted to know what she was like in the eyes of this girl.

"What do you think of...this kind of problem?"

Hearing this, Lan Feng's expression moved, and she asked hesitantly. After getting Tesla's response, she tilted her head slightly to think about it, and then looked at the person in front of her again.

"Isn't this obvious? To me... you are my most important friend."

Hearing Lan Feng's answer, Tesla's eyes dilated slightly and he looked at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Just... friends?"

"Um...what's wrong?"

Tesla was stunned for a moment, looking at the silver-haired girl standing beside him, and staring into the girl's pure blue eyes. She shook her head, then chuckled helplessly.

"No... nothing. Even if it's just this, it seems not bad..."

"What do you mean?"

Ignoring the somewhat puzzled look of the girl in front of him, Tesla muttered to himself, put on his coat swiftly, walked to the girl's side, and headed towards the door.

"Okay, Shilis, let's go quickly. Weren't you in a hurry just now?"

Tesla said this lightly with a half-smile on his face, then walked directly past the silver-haired girl beside him and walked out of the house, leaving Lan Feng standing there alone.

"...I don't understand why, but since you've stopped being so stubborn, that's a good thing. After all...if that were the case, our relationship would probably become very strange."

The doubt in Lan Feng's eyes gradually dissipated, and after Tesla left, she whispered to herself. It was not that she could not sense the girl's feelings for her, but she was not willing to face this reality.

(Isn’t it good to just be friends like this…)

"Wait, Frey...you don't have to walk so fast."

Lan Feng's expression began to relax. She ran out of the room and followed the red-haired girl.

"Weren't you in a hurry to leave just now? Well, speed up a bit. I can't take out the quantum flying machine inside the settlement, right? Besides, it would be too conspicuous to use it here, and it might attract the attention of Destiny."

"In that case, do we have to keep walking back like this?"

"We must use ground transportation, but before that, at least leave this town first, stupid Shilis..."

"Who are you calling an idiot? You lolita!"

"..."

As the morning sun gradually rose, the two girls walked farther and farther away on the wasteland. Although the operation ended in failure, as long as they were safe, they were thankful.

Only for Frederica...

"Captain! What is that...?!"

A Valkyrie looked at the buildings in the distance in astonishment, exclaimed, and turned to the Valkyrie captain in front of her.

"There is no such large-scale human settlement on the map! Where did this town come from?"

There was no need for her to ask, the captain of the Valkyrie was also thinking about this question. However, she quickly gave up thinking about it and called up her communicator operation page.

As far as duties are concerned, such matters only need to be reported directly to superiors, and there is no need for the Valkyries who are responsible for execution to think about it.

"Whether this has anything to do with the escaped Third Herrscher or not, let's report this information to the higher-ups first..."

As she thought about it, she skillfully operated the communicator in her hand, recorded the situation in front of her, and sent it to her current superior, the temporary operations leader, the Valkyrie Fu Hua, along with the search report...

At this moment, too much time has passed since the Third Herrscher escaped the day before. Although the probability of finding the target is slim, discovering a huge human settlement here is also an unexpected gain.
