K424 of the Collapse World

"Okay, we're already there."

At this time, the guard leading the way stopped in front of an iron gate. So Nonie and Charlie stopped chatting and waited for the guard's next words.

"Ms. Noni Tesla, you should know that you should have been sentenced to life imprisonment. But the higher-ups don't want a talent like you to lose your future, so they decided to give you a chance."

"Hmph...! What evil thing do you want me to do again?"

Although Nonie was very scared at the thought of losing her freedom in the future, she still did not treat the guard well.

"...You will be transferred to a department where Tianming is truly not allowed to see the light of day. Stay tuned! Perhaps when your performance is good enough, you may be able to restore your citizenship rights."

The guard didn't care about Nonie's bad attitude at all. After saying this, he turned around and walked past Nonie's shoulder without any intention of staying.

(It’s a pity that now that you’ve come here… you can’t leave this place in your lifetime.)

As the guards gradually walked away, Nonie and Charlie looked at each other and walked forward.

Now that I've been brought here, there is no other choice!

——Beep!

Nonie reached out and pressed the sensor switch of the door. The dazzling light behind the opened door made her squint her eyes.

"Are you Noni Tesla? The person next to you should be Mr. Charlie. Welcome to the research project I am in charge of."

Noni's eyes quickly adjusted to the light, and when she opened them, she saw a weathered old man with completely white beard and hair, and a slightly cloudy look in his eyes.

Noni couldn't help but be a little stunned. Is this kind-looking old man also one of the top leaders of Tianming?

"Yes, I am Nonie."

"I'm the person in charge here, Maki. According to the agreement sent from above, you should be a person without political rights, right?"

"Yes, Dr. Maki."

"I wonder what crime you committed to deserve such punishment...? But... it doesn't matter. If you really want to talk about it, any researcher in this institute is a heinous criminal and does not deserve to be saved."

Listening to Maki's self-deprecating words, Noni suddenly felt that she might have come to a place where she shouldn't have been...

Ukraine, the site of the Anti-Entropy Branch...

The explosion of the Houkai furnace directly made the area barren. Although it did not cause a Houkai explosion, the strong explosion still destroyed the nearby terrain. The broken mechanical wreckage was densely buried in the charred land, and some were vaguely half exposed. The whole area was shrouded in gray smoke.

It was a scene like hell.

Since the level of Honkai energy in this area was still uncertain, Tianming did not rashly send out a detection team. At this moment, this place was sank into silence, with only the occasional shrill sound of the wind.

At this moment, an unexpected situation broke the silence at the scene.

021 A new beginning >>

--boom!

Under the ruins, there was a sudden and violent explosion without any warning! It stirred up a blast of wind and rubble, and the surrounding ground collapsed, forming a large pit like a meteorite crater.

In the center of the pit, a faint fluorescent light lit up in the thick smoke and dust, flickering slightly...

A huge golden cocoon was slowly losing its fluorescent light, becoming thinner and transparent. Indistinctly, a little girl could be seen sleeping in the cocoon, hugging her knees...

·————————————·

"Hey! Mr. Tom, there was an energy reaction in the observation area just now. I also heard the sound of an explosion. Do you need to go and confirm it?"

Far away from the explosion point, an observer found his superior and told him about his recent discovery.

"Well... don't worry. It should be a secondary disaster caused by the remaining energy materials. It's not a rare thing."

Tom, the person in charge, said this without even looking up. He did not take it seriously.

Ben was enjoying his vacation, but suddenly these inexplicable things forced him to end his vacation early and come to this damn polluted area to eat dirt. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.

In this way, Otto didn't know that due to Tom's laziness, he missed the silver-haired girl again...

·————————————·

In the pit, as the last ray of light faded away, the silver-haired little girl fell from the air and landed on the wreckage of some machine.

“Hiss…! It hurts…”

The girl's back hit the uneven steel plate hard, and she woke up immediately. She turned over tremblingly and half-knelt on the ground.

"Huh? It doesn't seem to hurt as much as I imagined... What's going on? Oh, right! Ji Lin..."

Thinking of the gentle girl before, Lan Feng couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world. He was actually communicating with humans from the previous civilization.

(I really owe you a favor. But I must keep that promise!)

Lan Feng stopped thinking and suddenly opened his eyes.

In this case, let's try it first to see what kind of power the infused Honkai energy has brought to me?

However, before Lan Feng had time to pay attention to his physical condition, he was shocked by the surrounding terrain.

"This, this...what's going on?!"

At this moment, Lan Feng finally noticed the environment he was in. It was the bottom of a sunken meteorite crater, surrounded by the ruins of machinery. The smoke and dust in the sky even blocked the sunlight. It was simply a scene of the end of the world...

"Could it be that World War III has happened? Have I been sleeping for a very long time?!"

Thinking of this, Lan Feng felt that her brain was a little confused. If it was true... she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

“No way…? Anyway…! We have to get out of here quickly! We can’t see anything outside from inside this pit…”

Thinking of this, Lan Feng was no longer in a hurry to check his body. He looked up at the edge of the pit and rushed forward!

If Tesla saw this scene, she would be shocked.

The petite figure nimbly leaped in the ruins, without any trace of her previous weakness! However, the frightened Lan Feng had no time to care about these things. She just wanted to leave the place as quickly as possible so as to understand the current situation.

Turning over and jumping out of the edge of the pit, his bare feet stepping on the sandy and gravelly ground, Lan Feng easily jumped out of the edge of the pit which was several meters high!

"That mountain over there... I have an impression that this is indeed where Tesla brought me. But... why did it become like this? Did Destiny and Anti-Entropy go to war?"

Lan Feng murmured. Unconsciously, she looked behind her and saw a huge, steep pit. Lan Feng was stunned...

"This... is so high...! How did I get up here?!"

Shocked, Lan Feng almost lost his balance and fell down again...

Suddenly remembering something, Lan Feng sat down on the spot and lifted her feet. She found that although there was a lot of dust on the soles of her feet, running on the rough gravel just now did not leave a single wound on her seemingly delicate feet!

Moreover, I could feel that my body seemed to be full of energy, and the previous trembling feeling even when walking had disappeared without a trace.

(The feeling of weakness... has disappeared? Is this the effect of the stigmata?)

Lan Feng didn't know that the Honkai energy was suppressed by the stigmata and was dormant in her body. However, the suppressed Honkai energy was too huge, and some of it leaked out, which just happened to repair Lan Feng's damaged genes. Now, she has the true physique of Kaslana's bloodline.

However, these are not what Lan Feng is most concerned about right now.

"Damn it...what time is it now? Don't tell me centuries have passed!"

A silver-haired girl's voice, somewhat devastated, rang out from the scorched earth in the wasteland...

022 What you get

"Forget it... No matter what's happening now, there's no point in me just worrying about it..."

Lan Feng, who had been venting her emotions to her heart's content, had calmed down. She spread the long hem of her white coat on the ground and lay down directly.

During the experiment, at Lan Feng's strong request, she did not take off her clothes, but only half-pulled them down so that the connecting tube could be connected to her upper body skin. Fortunately, Lan Feng did not return to the naked state at this moment.

After all... she had already developed a psychological trauma from living without clothes for the past two days. As a modern person, she really couldn't accept moving around without clothes.

Although he was only wearing that ill-fitting shirt and the oversized white coat, it was still much better than the welfare-promoting outfit he had worn a few days ago.

As for underwear... Tesla didn't give it to her, and Lan Feng didn't care much about it. After running naked for two days, it was good enough to have clothes. Why would she care about those things?

"Ah... I feel like a refugee now.

It’s terrible…”

I just woke up and found myself lying in a ruin. Anyone would feel confused.

"It's obviously impossible for them to have been asleep for hundreds of years. We can clearly see that only the nearby area has become like a Burning Legion passing through. The environment in the distance seems to be fine... Could it be that Destiny bombed Anti-Entropy's base here? Are they so cruel?"

Lan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the emerald green mountains in the distance, and talked to himself.

"But... although I am a little dissatisfied with the replacement of my body with 'Kiana', it is still good to cure my myopia that I have seen for many years."

"The Anti-Entropy base has become like this. I wonder if Tesla is okay... Oh, and Noni... I didn't see her when I was at the base..."

Thinking of the tsundere girl with twin ponytails and the woman who rescued him, Lan Feng suddenly felt a little worried about them.

"I hope everything will be alright..."

After resting for a while, Lan Feng stood up again.

He gently touched his back with his hand, and there was a piece of soft and smooth skin. But Lan Feng knew that there should be a mark on the skin on his back.

"Come to think of it... I actually got Ji Xuanyuan's stigma. It seems that God is not blind."

Although Lan Feng's previous experiences were not very difficult, they were definitely not very pleasant memories...

"Then... according to Ji Xuanyuan, my body contains a large amount of Honkai energy. With the ability to manipulate Honkai with my Shaniyat bloodline, can I use them?"

Lan Feng could feel that there was a subtle special energy in the air around him, and there seemed to be more of this energy in his body.

(Is this... Honkai energy?)

Feeling the Honkai energy rippling through his body and imagining gathering this energy together, Lan Feng raised his hand and clenched it slightly.

……

However, nothing happened. Apart from the improvement of her physical condition, she did not feel that there was anything different about her body that contained a lot of Honkai Impact 3...

"How could this happen...? I've already poured so much bad stuff into my body, where's the Houkai power I was promised?"

Lan Feng tried several different positions, thinking back to the stories about the Ren and Du meridians and Dantian that she had read in novels before. However, no matter how she tried, there was still no reaction...

"Why... I can clearly feel the existence of Honkai energy, but I can't use it..."

Lan Feng's face fell. He had obtained the stigma and the ability to manipulate the collapse, but he didn't know how to use it. This feeling was like getting a check for tens of millions of dollars, but couldn't find the bank.

"Forget it. At least my body isn't so sickly now... It seems that my guess is correct. Kiana's body was also restored with the help of Honkai energy."

Lan Feng suddenly remembered that K423 was the successful body of the second Herrscher's resurrection experiment, and naturally contained Honkai energy in his body. However, all the Honkai energy belonged to Sirin, and Kiana could not control it on her own.

However, there is no Herrscher personality generated by the Honkai Will in my body, so why can't I control this energy?

Lan Feng was not a contemporary scientist, so naturally her understanding of Honkai energy was not very accurate. So, she patted her cheek and stopped thinking about these useless things.

"Let's leave this radiation zone first... although it doesn't seem to have any effect on me."

There should be some leaked Honkai energy in the air, but compared with the Honkai energy in Lan Feng's body, it is negligible.

Ji Xuanyuan, whom he just met, disappeared, and he was unable to control his Honkai energy. Tesla and Noni were also missing... After experiencing so many ups and downs suddenly, Lan Feng's mood was inevitably a little low.

He looked down at his own little feet. Although the toughness of his skin seemed to have been strengthened to a very high level by the collapse, walking barefoot was still quite uncomfortable.

"correct……"

Lan Feng lifted the long hem of his white coat, tore off the part that was dragging on the ground with his hands, and then tore the cloth into two parts. This process did not take much effort, and Lan Feng couldn't help feeling a little strange.

(Is the material of this clothing so bad? No... my power has increased! Hmm... is it the Kaslana family's super power?)

Lan Feng thought about it as he wrapped the cloth around his feet.

"This time, I think I have completely become a refugee."

Lan Feng smiled bitterly, the uncomfortable feeling in her feet eased a little, and she stood up.

Although he had never looked in the mirror, Lan Feng felt that he must look terrible now. But in fact, the tattered clothes and ashes still could not hide the girl's extraordinary appearance.

Lan Feng chose a direction based on her instincts and started moving forward. She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, as she had a feeling something was going to happen.

Feeling some kind of energy fluctuation coming from behind him, Lan Feng thought about it and sped up his movement. Ever since he met the two Valkyries in Noni's apartment, Lan Feng had never doubted his intuition.

022 What you get >>

After waking up again, Lan Feng obviously

I felt that my intuition had changed in some way. I couldn't say it had been strengthened... it was more like it had become some kind of vague perception.

In fact, just as Lan Feng sensed, Tianming’s observation aircraft carrier was anchored in that direction.

(There must be something over there... but I don't intend to get myself into trouble.)

While thinking, Lan Feng ran on the charred ground.
