K424 of the Collapse World

025 Encounter with Survivors

Hiding in a bush, Mike covered his mouth and stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes...

(What is this thing…? A demon…! It must be a demon! How can there be such a huge Honkai beast?!)

……

Just now, Mike had collected a lot of wild vegetables and fruits, and was about to return to meet Uncle North. Who knew that suddenly, a sharp roar that shook his internal organs came from nearby!

Encountering such a powerful sound wave at close range made the young man dizzy and his internal organs began to tremble...

Mike bit his lips hard, feeling the rusty taste in his mouth, and forced himself to stay awake. He squatted down as quietly as possible and hid his body behind the bushes.

(Damn it… How could something like this happen? What on earth is this?)

He opened his eyes wide and stared ahead.

I saw the soil layer gradually cracking, and some huge black and purple creature slowly crawled out of the ground, revealing its appearance.

(What…what is this?! Can a Honkai beast have a body shape like this?)

Having lived in this dangerous place for a long time, Mike had naturally seen Honkai beasts, including the winged charge-level Honkai beasts and the chariot-level Honkai beasts with degenerated hind limbs. However, although these two are very threatening to humans, as long as you pay attention to them in advance and carefully avoid them, nothing will happen.

But this time, it was the first time that Mike encountered a Honkai beast head-on, and it was obviously not an ordinary Honkai beast.

(What should I do…it hasn’t discovered me yet? Should I run away now? But…what if I act rashly and get discovered…)

Under tension and fear, the young man was at a loss for a moment. Even if he thought of something, he didn't dare to take any action.

(Oh my god! This...!)

When the Honkai Beast fully revealed its figure, Mike widened his eyes in horror and covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming!

This giant beetle-shaped Honkai beast was the first one Mike had ever seen in his life. Its shiny black and purple shell was completely different from the ordinary white Honkai beast, giving people a feeling of extreme danger!

Mike was in great pain. Why did he have to endure this? Under this tremendous pressure, it was as if the god of death had grabbed his throat...

(What's going on?)

Mike suddenly noticed that the Honkai beast did not go in his direction, but went in another direction. While Mike was relieved, he was also a little curious, what was over there?

(Wait… that’s?!)

Looking in the direction the Honkai beast was moving, Mike was stunned.

(Damn... How could there be a little girl in a place like this?!)

Mike saw that there was a person standing in front of the Honkai Beast! It was a petite silver-haired girl, about 1.3 meters tall, and looked no more than ten years old.

Mike was stunned. He couldn't understand why such a little kid would be in such a dangerous place?

Watching the Honkai beast approaching the girl step by step, the girl just stood there without moving, probably because she was frightened.

(Damn it…what should I do…)

little girl

The girl looked very lovable. Just by looking at her, Mike didn't want this child to become food for Honkai Beast. However, on the other hand, he was a little hesitant. Should he save the girl? Or take the opportunity to escape?

The Honkai Beast was already very close to the little girl, and its sickle-like fangs were almost touching the girl's body...

"Asshole! What are you going to do to that kid?!"

Under an inexplicable impulse, Mike felt the blood rushing to his forehead. He suddenly stood up, took out a cylindrical object from the backpack on his waist, and rushed over!

——!

The silver-haired girl's tense body paused, and she looked at Mike in surprise. Mike didn't notice that the girl didn't look like she was petrified. He glared at the Honkai Beast and threw the object in his hand with all his strength.

Because of his previous shout, it obviously attracted the attention of Honkai Beast. When Honkai Beast's huge crystalline compound eyes turned to Mike, he only saw a cylinder with a metallic luster slowly enlarging in front of his eyes.

Flash bomb...

————Buzz!

Along with the roar, a dazzling white light instantly enveloped the forest! A moment ago, Mike rushed to the girl's side and stretched out his hand to cover her eyes.

"you……"

"Don't be afraid! I will definitely save you, follow me!"

Before he could finish his words, Mike grabbed the girl's wrist and ran in one direction, not noticing the girl's helpless expression...

Under the influence of the strong light, the Honkai beast became temporarily blind, and began to roar wildly, constantly making sharp and piercing sounds.

Being attacked by these sound waves again, Mike's face turned pale! However, he gritted his teeth and insisted on running, because at this moment, he was carrying more than just his own life.

On impulse, Mike decided to save this little girl he didn't even know!

The roar of the Honkai Beast behind him had stopped, replaced by a slight vibration from the ground. Mike knew that the Honkai Beast had regained its sight and was chasing after him!

(No... we'll be caught up! Go faster!)

·————————————·

Lan Feng's mood at the moment was quite delicate.

Because his attention was completely focused on the Honkai beast in front of him, he didn't notice that there was someone hiding nearby!

Lan Feng was somewhat helpless. Just as he was about to start a battle with the Honkai Beast in front of him, a brown-haired white youth rushed out, threw a flash bomb in his hand at the Honkai Beast, and then dragged him along to run wildly, although the speed was not very fast...

025 Encounter with survivors>>

Following the young man's steps, Lan Feng looked at his nervous face and couldn't help but smile.

(Is it to save me? It’s unnecessary… But I still have to thank him…)

After all, what the other party does is to help himself.

Lan Feng had not expected to see a human here. Looking at the young man's worn-out coat, Lan Feng had some guesses about his identity.

(There should be a human settlement nearby. I’m so lucky… I actually ran into someone here…)

Behind him, the dangerous Honkai beast was gradually approaching, but Lan Feng, who was being pulled away by the young man, was distracted, thinking about these unimportant things.

Lan Feng didn't care much about being chased, but in Mike's eyes it was a matter of life and death. If Mike knew what Lan Feng was thinking now, his expression would definitely become very interesting...

(I can’t do it anymore… I can’t run anymore… Am I going to die here?)

His legs began to feel as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Feeling the vibrations coming closer and closer from the ground behind him, Mike narrowed his eyes in despair...

————Buzz!

A tiny purple light flashed by... Suddenly! The Honkai beast lost its balance the next moment! Its huge body involuntarily tilted to one side, raising a large cloud of dust and crushing several large trees!

Lan Feng lowered her slightly raised hand. Just now, she found that the Honkai Beast had caught up with her, so she condensed the Honkai energy into a thin layer of crystals and slashed at one of the Honkai Beast's limbs!

The solid Honkai energy lost control after leaving the body, and relying on the inertia of the energy, it flew out like a flash of lightning, cutting off one of the limbs of the spider-shaped Honkai beast. The Honkai beast, which was sprinting, suddenly lost the support of one of its legs, lost its balance, and fell to the ground.

(So ​​weak? What a shame with such a domineering appearance...)

Lan Feng curled his lips and disagreed.

Hearing the unusual noise behind him, Mike turned around and saw the last scene of the Honkai Beast falling to the ground.

"Huh...? Idiot, you actually fell down by yourself!"

Mike was stunned for a moment, feeling lucky that he did not see the flash of purple light. He just thought that the Honkai beast had a brain spasm and tripped over it.

Taking this opportunity, he once again distanced himself from the Honkai Beast, and could already see the edge of the forest...

"… Mike! Mike! How are you?"

Suddenly, Mike's expression became excited when he heard a familiar shout coming from the front.

"Uncle North! Quick, run! There are Honkai beasts behind us! We must leave here!"

On the other side, North and the other man came following the sound and saw Mike holding a little girl's hand and rushing over here in a hurry...

"Mike, she is...?"

Although he only took a quick look, North was still surprised by the girl's exquisite appearance! Although her clothes were tattered, her fairy-like temperament was completely unlike what a scavenger like them should have.

“Huh… No time to explain now! Where is the car? The Honkai beast will catch up soon…!”

Seeing Mike breathing heavily and looking anxious, North knew that now was not the time to chat. Looking at the forest behind him, he could tell from the smoke and dust that some huge monster was approaching quickly...

"The car is parked in front. We'll get there by crossing the forest! Jera, Mike doesn't have enough energy. Help him carry the backpack."

Hearing the middle-aged man's order, the other young man took Mike's backpack without saying a word and did not hesitate to follow the middle-aged man's instructions.

Lan Feng saw this and was a little surprised at these people's strong sense of teamwork.

Should we say that he is worthy of being a person who dares to live in the wilderness?

"Don't worry! Stay with us...you will be safe...!"

Mike panted and spoke to the little girl with silver hair. Looking at the girl's soft face, he suddenly felt a little strange. Why could this girl be so calm?

"Um……"

Lan Feng nodded expressionlessly, without saying anything more, and just ran after the person who was pulling her. The pulse dagger was wrapped around the outside of her thigh with a strip of cloth, and was completely covered by the dress-like clothes.

(My ability to manipulate Honkai should not be exposed to these people... Who knows if it will be misunderstood...)

"Okay...! I can see it! It's over there!"

The middle-aged man's shout brought Lan Feng back to her senses. She looked in the direction the middle-aged man pointed and saw a military green convertible jeep parked not far away.

To be honest, Lan Feng has seen too many cross-century high-tech machines in recent days. Suddenly seeing such an old vehicle, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Come up! We need to get out of here quickly!"

The middle-aged North and the young man Jera, who was carrying a backpack, sat in the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. Since the door of the jeep was relatively high, Mike opened the back door and wanted to carry the little girl in.

Lan Feng saw the young man's actions and knew what he was going to do. However, Lan Feng didn't like others touching his body, so he jumped into the car nimbly.

Mike's outstretched hand froze in place. Although he was a little surprised by the girl's agile movements, Mike reacted quickly and hurriedly jumped into the two jeeps. The next moment he closed the door, the car suddenly accelerated and rushed out!

Mike heaved a sigh of relief when his body was hit against the seat by the inertia of the forward movement. He turned back subconsciously, but was horrified to find that the ferocious and huge Honkai beast had followed them out of the forest and also came to this wasteland!

026 I'm already addicted...

“Damn it…! What kind of monster is this?!”

Jera, who was sitting in the front seat, screamed, his voice trembling a little due to the unstable vibration of the car. He also saw the terrifying monster chasing the jeep. In his life, Jera had never seen such a big Honkai beast!

"Hey! Old North, can't you go any faster? That monster is rushing out!"

Hearing his companion's urging, the middle-aged man in charge of driving hesitated for a moment, then resolutely stepped on the accelerator to the bottom!

Although the road is bumpy and driving at high speed is quite dangerous, if you slow down, you will be attacked by the Honkai beasts behind you, and the outcome will be certain death!

In this case, North knew exactly what to choose.

The jeep's engine suddenly roared loudly, and the speed increased again, raising a thick cloud of dust from under the tires!

The whole car cut through the air at high speed, and the whistling wind filled Lan Feng's ears. She turned around in her seat, propped up her petite body with her hands, and looked expressionlessly at the Honkai beast that was gradually being left behind.

The jeep was speeding at a speed that would make ordinary people scream, but it did not move Lan Feng. For some reason, this speed did not seem that fast in Lan Feng's eyes.

(What a pity...I wanted to try it out.)

Lan Feng just thought about it and put it out of her mind. After all, this place was so desolate that there was no sign of human habitation. She originally thought that she would have to live as a savage for a long time, but she didn't expect to meet someone here. It was an unexpectedly lucky result.

Next to Lan Feng, Mike looked at the Honkai beast chasing him with a serious expression. He suddenly found that one of the Honkai beast's legs was missing, and it was sprinting with the remaining seven limbs, but its speed was not slow at all.

Mike couldn't see the smooth cut surface of the broken leg of the Honkai Beast. He just thought that it was accidentally broken when the Honkai Beast fell.

His own legs.

After all, its body is so big, and although its legs are thick, they look very thin compared to its body. It is entirely possible that they were broken by its weight. Otherwise, there is no other explanation...

Mike looked at the Honkai beast that was gradually getting away, breathed a sigh of relief, and began to have wild thoughts.

(By the way…was I really cool just now? I actually risked my life to save this little girl…)

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the silver-haired girl sitting next to him.

Feeling the gazes around him, Lan Feng turned around and saw the young man with a smug smile on his face.

Suddenly seeing the girl looking at him, Mike quickly adjusted his expression and spoke softly.

"Little girl, you..."

He had just said a few words when he was interrupted by a shrill cry from behind him!

The Honkai Beast stopped its futile pursuit, and opened its two sickle-like mouthparts to their maximum! Purple flashes slowly appeared inside...
