K424 of the Collapse World

As the girl spoke, she looked at the weapons in her backpack and smiled helplessly. On the other side, the old man looked away from the girl's right hand and looked at her bandaged body. He frowned slightly and his expression became more gloomy.

"You little bitch, you talk too much nonsense! Why don't you hurry up when you get to the place? Are you still wasting my time?"

The old man said this with a look of disgust, and waved his hand impatiently at the girl, signaling her to leave quickly.

Even though the old man was scolding her, the girl was not moved at all. She could see that even though the old man was scolding her, his lingering eyes clearly wanted her to stay and chat for a few more days.

A lonely old deliveryman...

In this country with a serious aging population, the old man obviously has no other family members. But these things are obviously not something that Shiris can intervene in. Besides, she herself has things that she must do...

The girl jumped lightly from the shelf, turned around and bowed deeply to the old man.

"Well, thank you very much."

"..."

She was answered by the dust kicked up by the truck's tires...

"Ahem, ahem...! Really, you old tsundere who says one thing and means another, you're not cute at all!"

With a wry smile, she dusted herself off and looked at the truck going farther and farther away. She let out a sigh of relief when it disappeared at the end of the road, then turned around and looked at the other side of the fork in the road...

"We have completely gotten rid of the pursuers of Tianming, but why do I always feel that something is going to happen soon... Is it the third collapse? But... Raiden Ryoma did not collapse, Mei should not be attacked and cause the collapse..."

Shirley shook her head, a hint of gloom appeared in her eyes, but it was quickly dispelled by a faint hope.

"It's useless to think too much. Let's hurry back as soon as possible. I originally wanted to take a good look at Shenzhou in this world, but it seems that I don't have the chance this time. Anyway, I must find a way to quickly return to the Far East... and return to them!"

257 The Third Collapse

February 2014, 3......

The peaceful life lasted for two months. During this time, no strange things happened in Changkong City. The dead soldiers and the collapse reactions disappeared, just like the calm before the storm.

On the campus of Qianyu Academy, the black-haired girl completed her task, picked up her schoolbag, pushed the door and left the classroom.

Looking at the empty corridor, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Eh? That's strange... Kiana didn't come today, is it because of something urgent? Oh, right... the first graders seem to be taking exams recently, ah~ it must be hard, Kiana..."

During this period of time, she had been staying with that girl, and Mei had unknowingly gotten used to this kind of life. She seemed to have a natural sense of closeness to that girl, and subconsciously treated her as her sister. Thinking about it now, she still felt a little unbelievable. She used to be as aloof as an iceberg, but it was so easy for her to pour out her feelings for a girl...

"It doesn't matter... After all, we've already been friends for a long time~"

The black-haired girl walked slowly towards the exit of the campus with a faint smile on her face. Although she was used to being with the other person all the time, today, there was obviously no chance.

"It doesn't matter. I'll see her again tomorrow anyway..."

She muttered to herself, slightly quickening her pace. When she left the school gate, her brows slightly frowned. For a moment, she seemed to feel some malicious gazes, but this feeling was fleeting. Mei just looked around in confusion, then walked forward again, thinking it was just her illusion...

After Mei walked away, a figure in a black suit leaned out from the side corridor, stared at the black-haired girl's back as she walked away, and slowly raised the communicator in his hand.

"Attention all units, the target has moved away from Kiana Kaslana. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it's time to take action..."

At this time, the silver-haired girl in the A teaching building of Qianyu College suddenly became dazed. The next moment, her blue eyes became a little solemn, and she involuntarily looked out the window, her eyes gradually becoming sharper...

(Strange...what's going on? This inexplicable feeling of irritability...what on earth is going on?!)

·————————————·

"Please note that the target has entered the D4 area. Please, Miss Silver Wolf."

"Received. We will launch an attack on the target next."

Pressing the headset button of the communicator, the petite figure squatting on the top floor of the building slowly leaned down and put down the sniper rifle on his back. With his eyes on the scope, he pointed the muzzle at the black-haired girl walking on the road without any precautions...

The girl hesitated for a moment before locking onto the black-haired girl's body. To Bronya, the black-haired girl was just a stranger. Even if she felt guilty, she couldn't change anything...

This is the task my mother gave me.

"Target distance confirmed... 1514m."

"Signal interference elimination...complete."

"Wind assessment...no impact."

"Ammunition type confirmed... non-lethal electromagnetic bombs are ready, shall we proceed?"

In an alley, the man listened to the girl's inorganic and indifferent voice coming from the headset and took a deep breath.

"Then let's get started..."

--boom!

Before the man finished speaking, Bronya pulled the trigger without hesitation. Then she threw away the sniper rifle and left the place. Now that her mission was completed, she should go to

Taking care of personal matters...

With a faint sound, Mei suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist! Then, her entire body completely lost control and she lost all her strength...

With a thud, Mei fell to the ground helplessly. At this moment, her eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment. She had no idea what had happened to her and why she suddenly lost her strength.

At this moment, no one, including Mei herself, knew that the Conqueror Gem buried in her body, stimulated by this current, began to increase the amplitude of energy fluctuations, and the gaps in the energy restriction were gradually torn apart, and more and more energy was dissipated. At this moment, as long as a little more force was added, the restriction that was on the verge of breaking would completely disappear...

"Ugh...Help, help..."

Her throat was completely paralyzed by the electric current, and her weak voice could hardly be heard by anyone. The next moment, at the end of the alley, a tall figure in black slowly walked over, squatted in front of her without saying a word, holding a metal syringe in his hand.

"Then next... follow plan A and directly peel off the Conquest Gem from the test subject."

The next moment, in Mei's horrified eyes, the man reached out and slowly put the sharp needle of the syringe close to her neck...

Looking at the purple solution in the syringe, Meiyi instinctively felt a sense of resistance. Her intuition told her that those things were very dangerous to her.

"No...no! Don't come near me..."

She tried to run away, but her body was only trembling slightly despite her best efforts. She had no other choice but to wait in increasing fear for the needle to pierce her skin and inject the liquid into her blood vessels...

“No…don’t!!”

As the girl screamed, something in her body seemed to shatter. The next moment, some invisible waves dissipated and instantly filled the entire alley, and quickly extended outward, passing through the busy streets, towering high-rise buildings, and people laughing and talking. In an instant, most of the city had been surrounded and swallowed up...

The concentration of energy increased in the blink of an eye, and the air turned into a light purple color that was visible to the naked eye. Almost at the same time, these energies began to launch a crazy attack on all living things in the city as if they had been ordered!

Corrode, kill, drive...

At this moment, in the ME building in the central area of ​​Changkong City, as a sharp alarm suddenly sounded, ordinary employees on the lower floors instantly stopped their work and looked around with surprise.

"The alarm sounded..."

"What happened?"

"What happened? An earthquake? Or a fire? But it doesn't sound like it..."

"I don't know... Let's wait for notification from above."

"..."

In the lower-level work organizations, the staff were discussing in confusion, not knowing what was going on. Although the alarm meant that there was some danger, no one would care about it until the danger approached them.

——Plop!

Suddenly, with the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground, a female employee with a weak constitution suddenly fell to the ground with her eyes slightly closed, seemingly unconscious.

Some pale particles that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye began to emerge from her body, slowly forming a...

"Hey! Ms. Wataru, are you okay?"

"Look... she looks so bad, is she going to work while sick... why didn't anyone notice it before?"

"Take her to the infirmary quickly..."

"Wait...I also suddenly feel a little dizzy..."

——Boom!

"Uh ah ah!"

Suddenly, another man fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, his limbs twitching. His skin quickly turned pale, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

The screams and the incessant alarms cast a strange shadow over the office...

With this sudden incident, the people present finally realized that something was wrong. The next moment, someone shouted, "Is it an infectious disease?" The staff present were in a mess and rushed to the door in a hurry. The usual order and etiquette were thrown aside at this time. After encountering real danger, everyone only cared about their own safety...

However, it was unknown what would happen to the people who escaped from the ME building. At this moment, the female employee who fell to the ground first trembled slightly, her black hair began to turn white rapidly, and a few purple lines lit up on the surface of her pale skin. The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, her bloodshot eyeballs moved slightly, and in her completely collapsed pupils, violence and murderous intent began to gradually fill them...

257 The Third Collapse >>

·————————————·

Unlike the lower floors of the building, the middle and upper level researchers of ME are all related to the Anti-Entropy Organization. Knowing the truth of this world, they naturally understand what the alarm that is ringing throughout the building means...

As people who directly conduct research on Honkai, they have all implanted antibodies against Honkai energy in advance, so they will naturally not be easily eroded by the energy when Honkai explodes.

Looking at the images displayed on the emergency monitor, although these people remained calm, their expressions were all covered with an unconcealable gloom.

"There is no doubt... the appearance of the dead soldiers is enough to confirm that the collapse has occurred! But why?!"

A man shouted with a puzzled look on his face, but no one could answer him. Even if some people did know the truth, for some reasons, they could only remain silent.

Although most of the researchers present belonged to the conservative faction and were committed to fighting the collapse according to Walter Joyce's philosophy, there were also some radical members among them...

However, everyone felt equally heavy as they watched the hellish scene on the screen. Some people had a hint of regret on their faces, but, things had come to this point, and nothing could be changed...

·————————————·

In the leadership of the building, Raiden Ryoma, the former president of ME Company but still the actual leader behind the scenes, was pacing back and forth, silently browsing the information on the light screen. Although he looked calm, judging from his slightly trembling body and rapid breathing, this man was obviously not as calm as he appeared...

"Have you found Mei?"

Hearing the sound of the door behind him being pushed open, he asked without turning his head. The visitor was silent for a moment, then sighed and spoke.

"Due to the influence of Honkai energy, the communication system of this city has some problems. Unfortunately, the search device can no longer be started normally, and even the quantum jump system has some problems..."

"I see... Then, what do you think of the current situation?"

"I'm sorry, President... I don't have enough information, so I can't analyze anything. But one thing is for sure, this disaster... must be related to the Conquest Gem."

"I know! That's why I want to find it as soon as possible...! Sorry, I got a little excited. Anyway, quantum leap has failed, and we can't quickly gather enough power to suppress the Houkai. But at least... Tsk! The Far East Self-Defense Force is useless in this situation. First mobilize all the forces that can be used at present to eliminate all the Houkai near the ME company! Including that child, and those locked up Valkyries, let them immediately clean up the staff in the building who have been corroded and turned into dead soldiers."

Raiden Ryoma gave the order in a deep voice, turned and walked to the side of the room, pressed a hidden button on the table, and picked up a dark blue sword from the slowly rising platform.

Stroking the mechanical handle of Plasma Shadowshow, the shadow gathered in Raiden Ryoma's eyes became thicker and thicker.

"This is really... troublesome. Einstein and Tesla urgently returned to the North American headquarters for Shirley's matter, and Kiana, who is currently the strongest fighter, also went with them. It just happened at this time... Could it be that there is more than one traitor in the company? Damn Cocolia... Even if I saw through her tricks, I was still tricked by her?! Humph... I will start to thoroughly investigate and verify the identity information of all senior employees. After eliminating external enemies, we will clean up our internal affairs..."

The orders were issued in an orderly manner, but Raiden Ryoma became more and more impatient.

"If something happens to Mei...ha, you can just wait to be reduced to ashes along with your Russian Heavy Industries! Cocolia..."

At noon, Canghai City...

"I'm very sorry to all the passengers going to Changkong City... We just received news that the next train to Changkong City has been suddenly cancelled for unknown reasons..."

In the waiting hall of Canghai Railway Station, when the station staff announced the news, they were questioned and complained by the passengers as expected. However, the station could only blame the government and could not give any explanation.

In fact, it wasn't just the Canghai Station. Within a few hours, the entire Changkong City seemed to have evaporated from this world. All synchronized information suddenly disappeared from the Internet, and other regions also cut off their connection with that city almost at the same time...

Why? Everyone was asking this question, but no one could answer them. Even the media, which were the best at finding out secrets, could not dig out any information about this incident.

"So, why is this happening?"

"Please give us a

A reasonable explanation..."

"Hey...our home is in Changkong City, why don't you let us go back?"

"Please, can you make an exception for me..."

"..."

Inside the station, people's protests became louder and louder. But at this moment, a slender figure wearing a hooded coat sighed, turned slightly, walked through the crowded crowd, and left the station hall through the side door of the waiting hall.

Gazing at the sky in the distance, the girl's face under the hood showed a trace of sadness. The next moment, she took a step and began to move in one direction...

"I still didn't make it in the end... Never mind. From the perspective of history, this is unavoidable. They should be fine. Tomorrow, a certain infectious disease will be blamed for the third Honkai Impact..."

Some time ago, the entire Changkong City was in a state of turmoil within a few minutes. First, a large number of people died mysteriously, and then, those who died for unknown reasons stood up again and became monsters in human skin, attacking the remaining survivors like zombies...

"monster......!"

"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!!"

"hiss......"

A man rushed forward with a terrified look on his face, not daring to look back at the "zombies" chasing him. He didn't understand why this kind of plot that only appeared in movies happened in reality, and happened to him...
