K424 of the Collapse World
Page 176
"Before that, if it was Kiana Kaslana... I should let her handle it. After all, this is the goal of her cooperation with me..."
Kokolia thought about it, then removed the miniature telescope attached to her right eye, activated the terminal's operating screen, pressed a recent contact in the address book, and established a communication connection...
After a while, with a prompt tone, a young girl's voice came from the terminal.
"We've only been apart for less than a day, do you miss me so soon, Comrade Kokolia?"
Following Fenrir's energetic voice, a light screen emerged, and the image of the red-haired girl appeared on the light screen.
Although her voice was full of energy, Cocolia could easily tell from the time she answered the call and her slightly haggard look that her communication must have disturbed the girl's sleep, and she was just forcing herself to be alert.
"I'm sorry... to disturb your rest, Fenrir. But you should know that I won't come to you for no reason. This time it's because..."
Thinking that the other person became like this in order to help her, Cocolia felt a little guilty, so she couldn't help but slow down her voice, and her tone became a little softer.
However, Cocolia forgot one thing.
The guy in front of her was not someone who could be judged by common sense...
"Ah~! Cocolia, are you...? Um~ I can't do that. I'm really sorry, I already have Lucia..."
Seeing that girl suddenly looked shy, she covered her lips with one hand, and stared at her with her beautiful green eyes wide open, blinking.
The trace of guilt in Cocolia's heart disappeared in an instant.
"Shut up! I just want to tell you an important message. If you interrupt me again, I will hang up."
"No, no, no...! Ahem... Comrade Kokolia, may I ask why you came to see me this time?"
Fenrir adjusted his expression within two seconds, and sat upright, waiting for Cocolia to speak. Seeing this, Cocolia sighed slightly, and her face became solemn.
"Listen, Fenrir... I have discovered traces of Kiana Kaslana in the Okhotsk region and intend to take action against her. What are your plans?"
When Cocolia said that name, Fenrir's eyes widened instantly. She wanted to stand up in shock, but she failed to complete the action and just fell limply on the table.
"Really?! Kiana Kaslana...are you sure it's her?"
She asked anxiously, her face almost pressed against the light screen.
Although he was extremely surprised, Fenrir knew that Cocolia had confused Kiana and Shirley, so she might have made a mistake. But just in case, it would be better to ask clearly...
Cocolia waved her hand to stop her action, and when Fenrir sat down again, she nodded.
"Yes, she told me this herself. I can be sure that she is not Shilis."
Cocolia glanced at Fenrir and shook her head.
"I originally planned to get information about Shirley through Kiana, and I wanted to ask you for help. However...looking at your current physical condition, I'm afraid I'm powerless."
Before Fenrir could say anything, she continued.
"I know what you want to say... but I won't act rashly. With Kiana Kaslana's strength, if she is pushed into a corner, she might release the power of the Holy Judge of Skyfire and destroy everything. So, I can't joke with my own city."
"Please... Cocolia! This matter is really important to me!"
"Don't worry, I didn't say I would let her go. I will send someone to track her down. Judging from the fact that Kiana and Siegfried are escaping from the pursuit of the destiny, they should not have a strong means of transportation, and Siegfried seems to be injured, so this is not a big deal.
Too much difficulty.”
Hearing this, Fenrir was stunned for a moment, and with some effort he straightened up by holding on to the table, his expression became serious.
"This matter is very important to me... Please, Cocolia... You must find out where she is. In return, I will help you find Shilis..."
"Don't rush to make promises. I'm doing this for my own sake, and it's also a reward for your help yesterday. If Kiana told me about Shirley, I wouldn't have done anything to her, and I wouldn't have continued to follow her. If you want to capture Kiana, I suggest you act quickly. Also, don't you have your own troops?"
As Kokolia was talking, she suddenly thought of something and asked Fenrir. She only knew that Fenrir's real name was Charlotte, but she didn't know Fenrir's position in Anti-Entropy. Even though they were both executors, the other party's information was not something that could be obtained casually.
"Most of my subordinates are researchers... After all, I have been in charge of the research and development of the Honkai Engineering in Antarctica, and the armed forces I belong to are just security guards who eat and drink for free..."
Fenrir's tone was somewhat helpless. Although she wanted to go to the place where Cocolia was immediately, her current physical condition made it impossible.
She was beaten half to death by Kiana before, and just after a few days of recuperation, she accompanied Cocolia in another battle. Now, she was really unable to move.
"Now, I've told you everything I need to say... It's up to you what you want to do."
As she spoke, Kokolia had already turned off the communicator, refocused her attention on the present, and began to deploy troops using the terminal.
Somewhere in North America, Fenrir, who was in a building, looked at the light screen that suddenly turned off and took a deep breath.
"It just happened to be now... Never mind. I hope Cocolia is reliable enough."
Cocolia Orphanage...
"Okay, it should be fine here... probably."
The black-haired girl held a girl with short peach hair in her arms, opened the electronic door in front of her, walked into a dim metal room, and threw the short-haired girl in her hands directly onto the cold ground without any mercy.
The girl, whose back hit the ground, let out an unconscious cry of pain, her eyelids trembling slightly.
But "Xier" didn't care about these, just turned around and stopped looking at the apricots on the ground.
"I hope you don't remember what happened before... It doesn't matter, anyway... You didn't see who hit you, and the scars are gone, so it won't be traced back to Xi'er. As for the damaged area in the corridor... Let it be. Xi'er won't know about it anyway."
The treatment agent began to take effect, and the wound on Xing's face had basically recovered. "Xi'er" turned on all the lights in the training ground and started the training robot, disguising the scene as Xing's coma due to overtraining, and then left the training ground.
"Hill, and Shirley... you guys left a mess behind, but I have to clean it up myself. Really..."
Climbing up the stairwell again and reaching the third floor, "Xier" returned to her own room.
She thought about it for a moment, then sat back in the toy box in the corner, put her body into a more comfortable position, and gently closed her eyes.
That's enough. When Xier wakes up, everything will be the same as before...
176 disappeared?
Okhotsk, the back streets...
"Really?! Kiana... someone is following you?"
Lillian's surprised voice echoed in the room. Seeing this, Claire quickly raised her left hand and put her index finger to her lips, signaling her to lower her voice.
"You know everything, but you're still shouting so loudly. Aren't you afraid of attracting the enemy? Besides... I don't want Elena and Lin to see me like this..."
Kiana just shook her head at Claire's concern and continued with her actions.
"Don't worry. Although I felt some malicious gazes on the road, Sister Shilis also sent me a message to tell me that someone noticed her whereabouts. But I can feel that the other party is very far away from us, so don't worry."
"Also, Claire, do you think you can hide the fact that you've been injured, bandaged, and splinted, from everyone?"
As she spoke, Kiana picked up two shortened splints and placed them on the sides of Claire's shoulder bones. She slightly adjusted the position of the splints with her hands, and placed her other hand on her shoulder, gently probing the location of the broken bone.
"Hiss... I guess we can hide it for a while... By the way, I think I can cover it up with my coat."
Claire frowned slightly as she answered, and then stopped talking.
But the next moment, with a crisp sound from her shoulder, Claire's forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat and her face turned pale for a moment, as if she was enduring some great pain.
"Kiana...um, is this really okay?"
Looking at Kiana, she seems a little stupid
Lillian's face was filled with worry as she clumsily bandaged Claire. She couldn't help but ask softly with a hint of doubt in her voice.
No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like she's good at emergency treatment. Claire, who was receiving treatment next to her, didn't say a word, but looking at her pale face, you can tell how painful this treatment process is.
"There is indeed no problem. Although my perception ability is not as good as Sister Shilis's, I can still feel that no one stays nearby for a long time. So, even if there is a surveillance person, he is spying on us from a long distance."
"No... I mean, can Claire's injury really be cured? It seems a bit troublesome..."
Lillian waved her hand, still with worry on her face. In response, Kiana just glanced at her and put the weapon on Claire again.
"Don't worry, I have learned all the theoretical knowledge related to fracture maintenance, but I just don't have practical experience, so it looks a little unreliable, but in fact there is no problem."
As she spoke, Kiana slowed down her movements as much as possible and reduced the strength of the bandage, and Claire's complexion recovered a little.
"The pain she felt before was unavoidable. After all...her bones were not only broken, but also dislocated in some places. In order to effectively fix them, they must be restored to their original state as much as possible. This process is necessary. However, it has been completed now, and she will no longer feel excessive pain."
"But... why didn't you use anesthetic just now? We should have brought something like this with us, right?"
Lillian suddenly thought of something and asked Kiana hurriedly. Seeing her friend suffering, her heart seemed to ache slightly.
Kiana listened, but turned her gaze to Claire.
"That's what I had planned originally. As for why it didn't work, you should ask her herself."
"What……?"
Lillian was stunned for a moment, but soon realized the reason and looked at Claire angrily.
"you……"
"Wait a minute, I know what you want to say, Lillian."
Before Lillian could speak, Claire interrupted her.
"Didn't Kiana just say that? Someone has discovered our tracks and will soon start the operation. How dare I use anesthetics at this critical moment? Do I want you to carry a dead person with you during the operation? And this level of pain is not that painful..."
Claire pretended to be relaxed when she spoke, but her hair, soaked by sweat, lay in a mess on her forehead, which was not convincing at all.
"You're lying... How could this not hurt?"
"It's okay. I've already endured it... Don't worry about it~"
Claire said softly, raising her good arm and patting Lillian's shoulder.
"And Lillian, do you remember the time we met Shirley in the ruins? Her injuries were much more serious than mine, right? Most of her body was severely frostbitten, but Shirley didn't even blink. I'm so embarrassed to behave so poorly at this level..."
Claire said this casually, trying to change the subject. But the next moment, Kiana beside her paused slightly, and her eyes seemed to dim.
At that time, it was she who used the imitation spirit knife to pierce Shirley's shoulder. This was something Kiana had always blamed herself for, and after finally forgetting it, it was recalled again when Claire mentioned it.
However, she didn't show anything. After tying the bandage on Claire's shoulder, she returned to the table and began to pack her backpack.
Lillian keenly noticed Kiana's unusual expression, but she didn't know what to say. She could only glare at Claire fiercely and fell silent.
As Claire wished, the topic just now was successfully ended, in a way she didn't want...
"Huh...? What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking? Is there something wrong with the example I just gave...?"
Claire looked a little embarrassed, but she still tried to ask. She raised her uninjured left arm, picked up the coat on the edge of the bed, and put it on awkwardly.
Lillian rolled her eyes at her, but still came over and helped her put on her coat, and checked the injured parts of Claire's body that had been treated.
Looking at the tightly bandaged marks, a hint of tenderness flashed across Lillian's eyes.
"Fool……"
"what?"
Hearing Lillian's whisper, Claire asked curiously, but got no answer. Lillian helped her put on the coat. Because of the splint fixed on her right shoulder, Lillian was worried about causing secondary damage, so she only put on the sleeve of her left arm.
In this way, the bandaged right shoulder becomes more obvious.
"Ouch...it's going to be very cold. Can't you put some clothes on for me?"
"..."
This time, Lillian ignored her and turned away, sitting with Kiana.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
Somewhat dissatisfied with Lillian's silence, Claire chased after her angrily and was about to ask something, but at this moment, the door not far away was opened without any warning.
"Who?!"×2
Since there was someone in the room, Kiana didn't lock the door. But even so, opening someone else's door without knocking was not polite at all.
For the Valkyries, knowing that they were being watched, it was not just a matter of simply feeling impolite. Lillian and Claire were startled and almost simultaneously pulled out their guns hidden under their skirts.
Lillian was good at firearms, and her gun was almost instantaneous. On the other hand, even though one of her hands could not move, Claire's movements were not much slower than Lillian's. The moment her finger was on the trigger, she had already aimed the gun towards the door.
In this fleeting half second, only Kiana did not make any move, but just slightly raised the corners of her mouth...
After opening the door, the corridor was empty!
Claire and Lillian looked at the empty door in a daze. But the next moment, accompanied by a tiny electromagnetic wave, a petite figure in black armor slowly emerged from the empty door.
176 disappeared?>>
"Hmm... you reacted quickly. But why are you so surprised? Doesn't Tianming have this kind of cloaking device?"
Lan Feng walked into the room while talking. She waved her hand casually, signaling the two to relax a little.
Seeing that the person in front of them was Lan Feng, Claire and Lillian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put away their weapons.
"Welcome back, Sister Shiris."
Kiana walked forward, and after Lan Feng entered, she closed the door again and turned around to look at Lan Feng.
