K424 of the Collapse World

She couldn't help thinking and gave up the idea of ​​attacking this woman. Anyway, she had never shown any hostility to her from beginning to end, so she shouldn't be an enemy of Shirley. If it really didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to tell Shirley about this after returning.

While convincing herself, Kiana's fighting spirit slowly cooled down, and the restless Honkai energy was suppressed back to a certain place in her body.

By the way, what was your original purpose for coming here?

Kiana thought silently, and she relaxed. What she didn't know was that with her reaction just now, Kokolia almost pressed the transmitter in her pocket and deployed the main force of her mecha troops here in a quantum manner. But fortunately, she was able to keep her composure, and Kiana did not launch an attack. Otherwise, the nearby buildings would be in trouble.

Kiana closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"Well, forget it if you don't want to talk about it, unknown lady... Although I am curious about your identity, I have urgent matters to attend to. And I am not the person you are looking for, how about we just say goodbye?

"

Kiana said calmly, looking at Cocolia fearlessly. Although the blonde woman was imposing, there were no other people with energy equipment nearby, which meant that there was no need to worry about being ambushed, unless the other party was courting death.

Cocolia was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

In fact, Cocolia was not very interested in Cecilia's daughter, Kiana Kaslana. Compared with her identity, Cocolia was more concerned about the God Key in her hand. But compared with a God Key, it was obviously not advisable to hastily summon the mecha troops to fight the opponent. What's more, this place was still within her sphere of influence. Even if she could win, the city would probably be destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

After all, what she holds in her hand is the infamous Key of Destruction...

Although her ally was looking for Kiana, it was obviously not worthwhile to fight with Kiana now. Even if the person in front of her was Fenrir's target, Cocolia had no obligation to help a temporary ally like this.

Unconsciously, she loosened her right hand that was holding the transmitter in her pocket and completely gave up the idea of ​​forcibly arresting the girl.

174 Nothing to do? >>

However, she did not leave immediately.

"Ms. Kiana...if possible, can you tell me what the relationship between you and Shilis is?"

Cocolia turned her eyes away from Kiana in a frustrated manner and asked softly, her tone no longer showing the previous arrogance.

Hearing this, Kiana sneered, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Isn't this the question I just asked you? You are just using nonsense to fool me, but you want to get the real answer from me? There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky in this world."

Kiana said, her voice was already cold. She hoped that this woman would take her daughter away immediately. If she hadn't considered that she was also a mother, she would have broken the legs of this suspicious person and dragged her back to Shirley.

"What I just said is all true. You are the one who doesn't believe it. What can I do? Shirley is indeed my daughter. Although not my biological daughter, we did live together for a period of time..."

Cocolia was somewhat helpless. If she wanted to prove that what she said was true, she would have to reveal a lot of information to Kiana, which would bring many hidden dangers. So, she had no way to prove her words now, and could only try to convince the other party with pale words.

Kiana is not a paramecium, and Cocolia's defense is doomed to be useless.

"Ha...Okay, since you said so, I'll tell you. Actually, I'm Shilis's grandmother, so why don't you call me mother?"

Kiana silently apologized to her sister in her heart, and then threw out that obviously nonsense answer. Although it might be a bit disrespectful to Shirley, if it was just used to disgust the enemy, there should be no problem.

As she expected, upon hearing this extremely impudent remark, the blonde woman's eyes narrowed and her brows visibly furrowed.

"you……!"

"What's wrong? I'm telling the truth, but if you don't believe me, what can I do?"

Kiana spread her hands and said, biting her lip and blinking her eyes, showing an innocent expression.

Cocolia's face darkened, and she put her right hand in her pocket again. The corner of her eye twitched, but in the end she just sighed, didn't say much, silently picked up the gray-haired girl lying on the bed, turned around and left the clinic.

Just now, Kiana had indeed angered Cocolia, and she almost pressed the transmitter and gave this undisciplined brat a good lesson, but she held back.

Kokolia knew very well that she shouldn't let her impulses get the better of her. If she lost her temper over such a small matter, her days as a special forces soldier would have been wasted.

Cocolia had to admit that the girl named Kiana in front of her was indeed a bit tricky. Although she looked very young, she had not revealed the true relationship between her and Shirley during the long negotiations. Until now, it was unknown whether they were enemies or friends.

Kiana watched Cocolia walk out of the clinic, then got into a car parked on the side of the road and drove away. Only then did Kiana feel completely relieved and returned to the counter.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I wanted to get some bandages and splints, and I also need some disinfectant."

Kiana leaned her head out from the counter, looked at the old doctor who was sitting at the back with his eyes closed, and said politely. At this time, the old man opened his eyes calmly.

"Is it over? Family disputes are really serious in today's society..."

The old doctor looked calm and composed, obviously he was used to such scenes. He didn't understand the conversation between Kiana and Cocolia, but based on some fragmentary information, the matter should be quite serious...

"But, little girl, it's better to respect your elders..."

However, the old doctor did not care. After all, in his eyes, no matter how serious the matter was, it was just a simple quarrel.

Of course, if he knew that a fight between these two men was enough to destroy half a city, he probably wouldn't think so.

Hearing the doctor's casual words, Kiana didn't say much, but just nodded slightly and tapped the edge of the table with her fingers.

The doctor also realized that he was being a little nosy. He sighed softly, then turned around and walked into the storage room behind him. He came out after a while and placed a roll of bandages and a stent on the counter.

Kiana picked up the stent and looked at it, recalling Claire's injury. After a brief analysis, she looked at the doctor again.

"Two, please."

Hearing this, the doctor's eyebrows jumped slightly.

"Two pairs? Is it a very troublesome injury? Besides, bandaging also requires certain skills. Are you sure you want to buy them? If the patient has a fracture, it is better to let professionals treat it..."

"Don't worry, I know how to use it."

Kiana spoke softly, without showing any impatience, but looking straight at the doctor, waiting for his response.

Looking at this mature girl, the doctor felt a little strange, but more of a strange sense of oppression...

He thought silently, but his hands moved quickly. He quickly brought out what Kiana needed and placed it on the table.

"Well... these are what you want, little miss."

The doctor said this with a slightly helpless look, and sighed softly. This was not the first time he had been defeated in a battle of glances with a child. Although it was incredible, in this country where girl soldiers were common, such a child with a sharp temperament was not uncommon. Therefore, the doctor naturally thought of a reasonable explanation.

"Well, if you put it that way... you're right. Living in this war-torn country, how could you not know how to use it... Sorry, I'm meddling in your business."

After putting these things into a bag, the doctor handed the bag to Kiana with a look of pity on his face.

"Okay, here you go. You guys...oh, forget it. Please be safe."

"Well, thank you..."

Taking out the Russian rubles prepared in advance from her pocket, Kiana didn't pay attention to the doctor's complicated expression, just handed the money to the doctor and turned to walk out. Although she was a little upset by what happened just now, she knew very well what she should do now.

"Well... we need to go back to find Claire as soon as possible. Her injuries are likely to get worse..."

She muttered to herself and walked quickly towards the hotel.

What Kiana didn't know was that Cocolia didn't go too far away. Instead, she appeared at the window of a building, silently watching Kiana run to the corner of the street...

175 double line

Stepping into the bustling city again, Lan Feng suddenly felt unreal.

She avoided all the cameras and left the Cocolia Orphanage again by stealth, bypassing the muscular gardener and returning to the town where they were temporarily living.

Looking at the people around her, she always felt something was strange.

Lan Feng did not disable the stealth function of the armor. After all, wearing a mechanical Valkyrie armor on the street was too eye-catching and would definitely be noticed by Cocolia's eyes.

There's nothing wrong with me, I just hope Kiana is okay too...

Although the operation was indeed terrible, in theory, it should have been able to remain hidden.

Lan Feng walked carefully on the street, trying his best to avoid collision with pedestrians.

After all, if she moved too fast, it would produce transparent waves, and collisions on the surface of her body would also affect the operation of the cloaking device. She didn't want to show up on the street like this.

(I hope everything goes well... I just feel a little regretful that I didn't get to meet that 'Hill'. I really want to apologize to her in person...)

While Lan Feng was thinking, she suddenly forgot her current invisible state. After almost kicking a passing stray dog, she suddenly came to her senses and remembered that she was still invisible. She hurriedly concentrated her mind.

If she had a choice, she would not want such a restrictive cloaking device. Even the optical camouflage system on the Titan is more advanced than this. However, she gave up the idea when she thought of the recent expenses of Tesla's research company.

If this continues, let alone updating my equipment, I might even have to borrow money from Aiyin for my daily research expenses.

Fortunately, Lan Feng’s own strength is enough to control this defective device. For her, these not-too-fatal defects can basically be overcome.

(Anyway… now that we’ve confirmed that Seele is fine, let’s leave this troubled place as soon as possible. Although Cocolia has been gone for many days, we can’t ignore the possibility that she will suddenly come back…)

Thinking of that unpredictable blonde woman, Lan Feng felt a little conflicted. After all, Cocolia was also his nominal mother...

, she pretended to be Cecilia, so what is the relationship between Kiana and Cocolia?

Thinking of this, she almost laughed out loud on the road.

(What a dark history... But never mind, it's not a big deal. Anyway, let's go back to the hotel first and think about other things later...)

As she thought about it, Lan Feng quickened her pace. The next moment, the polarized invisible energy on her body surface showed a little colorless fluctuation. To outsiders, it seemed as if the space at the original place had been distorted. Fortunately, it was not very clear in the sunlight, so it did not attract the attention of passers-by.

Just like that, Lan Feng quickly ran towards the direction marked in the eyepiece.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Lan Feng had a strange feeling, as if someone had discovered her whereabouts and was watching her from behind...

Lan Feng was not unfamiliar with this feeling. Whenever she felt like she was being watched, this super strong intuition gained from the evolution of her body through Honkai energy had saved her countless times. Lan Feng had no doubt that this was an illusion.

Except for the exceptional situation with Fu Hua, Lan Feng still had great confidence in her perception ability. She immediately stopped, held her breath, and did not make any movements to allow the polarization system to operate perfectly and completely hide her figure.

She wanted to use this to confirm whether she was exposed.

As her movements became completely still, the feeling of being spied on began to gradually weaken and soon disappeared completely.

Lan Feng felt a little strange, but still did not let down his guard.

She slowly turned around and glanced behind her. As she expected, she did not see any peepers except for the passers-by on the street and the slightly short buildings.

(Is it a place that cannot be seen from this angle?)

Lan Feng frowned, feeling somewhat concerned. She didn't think that a passerby had accidentally discovered her. The person who could give her a slight shudder couldn't be an ordinary person.

Maybe, the other party is now mixed in the crowd, looking for his position. However, he can't find Lan Feng now, and Lan Feng can't find him easily either.

(…Could they be special forces under Cocolia? If so, this is going to be a problem. We must leave as soon as possible. Even if our whereabouts are exposed, we must not let them discover our identities!)

Although she roughly knew the location of the peeper, Lan Feng was not sure whether she had been exposed. However, since there was no way to verify this, she could not take the initiative. If her identity was exposed, it would not be herself who would be affected, but the entire Anti-Entropy.

The conflict between the conservatives and the radicals has been going on for a long time. If Cocolia's faction discovers their actions at this time, the conservatives behind them will be in trouble.

This action was originally Lan Feng's own decision. If it dragged down Tesla, Einstein and others, she would never forgive herself.

Thinking of this, Lan Feng suddenly felt a little anxious, but the unknown whereabouts of the peeper made her dare not act rashly. She had to slow down her movement and try her best to ensure 100% operation of the stealth system.

Thanks to this, Lan Feng could have reached the hotel in a few minutes, but now he had to extend the time several times...

The light screen cannot be used in invisible state, so Lan Feng activated the small communicator on the back of the wrist armor and sent a short message to Kiana, asking her to be prepared for emergency evacuation at any time.

(Well...if it really doesn't work, just pretend to be the Destiny's troops and rush out forcefully. It won't affect Tesla and the others...)

Thinking silently, Lan Feng was extremely alert, alert for possible attacks at any time. As the initiator and leader of this operation, she felt a lot of pressure at the moment...

Inside a tall building, a blonde woman leaned against the windowsill, looking at the people coming and going below.

Unable to spot the unknown object that flashed by again, her brows furrowed slightly, and the surface of the mechanical device worn on her right eye lit up slightly, then unfolded backwards and retracted into the headset on her right ear.

"Just now...was that an illusion? Never mind. Now is not the time to think about such things."

Cocolia murmured, then shook her head, temporarily putting the matter behind her, and activated the miniature electronic telescope attached to the headset again, turning her attention back to a hotel in the distance.

"Kiana Kaslana..."

She whispered to herself, her eyes gradually becoming deeper. She did not leave directly before, but parked the car at the back of a building, turned on the terminal on the floor, and opened the monitoring platform of the city, which easily tracked her location.

"It's still very worrying... Why did the traitor of destiny suddenly come here? This sense of déjà vu... Could it be related to what happened last time when Shiris left? Also, what she just bought seemed to be medical equipment?"

Recalling what the silver-haired girl bought at the clinic, Cocolia's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Kiana Kaslana should be with her father. In that case, could it be because of Siegfried

Kaslana is injured?"

Thinking of this, she continued to look at the hotel in the distance, put her hands to her ears, and magnified the telescope. However, at the distance she was at now, she still couldn't confirm the situation inside.

Could it be that Siegfried and Kiana were really being hunted, and then they ran around like headless flies, and ended up here by accident? This is too much of a coincidence...

"By the way... Speaking of which, Kiana knows Shirley, is it because of the fight between them? So... are they enemies or friends?"

Cocolia frowned, remembering what Kiana had said about Shiris before. The relationship between the two might not be good...

175 double line >>

That's right, after all, their previous battle should have been ruthless. So, ignoring the fact that Kiana and Shirley looked exactly the same, they were probably hostile to each other at this time.

"Even so... maybe Kiana will know where Shirley is. In this case, I have to intervene in this matter, at least... confirm the true situation first."

She squinted her eyes, marked the hotel in the electronic telescope, then turned and walked downstairs.
