K424 of the Collapse World

At this time, Mike looked at Lan Feng beside him again.

The girl's head was slightly tilted, leaning on the cushion on one side, her mouth was slightly open, her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she had dreamed of something bad...

But in fact……

(What do you want to do, you lolita...?! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you 'saved' me! If you dare to do anything to me...!)

Lan Feng thought angrily that if this guy dared to go further, he would make this pervert pay the price even at the risk of exposing his own strength!

But... the young man just touched the ends of his hair carefully and quickly retracted his hand, as if he had just done something very dangerous...

Well... it's really dangerous. If he makes Lan Feng angry, he might lose his hand...

(What? It’s so weird… I didn’t feel anything before, but now I realize… Lolitacon is really disgusting…! I don’t understand what these guys are thinking.)

Lan Feng thought to himself, subconsciously ignoring the silly smile on his face when he once teased the poster girl of Honkai Impact 3rd while holding his phone.

027 Settlement in the Wasteland>>

In fact, including Lan Feng who was dozing off, another young man in the front seat also fell asleep... Therefore, North deliberately reduced the speed of the car so that the bumps in the car body were not so severe.

……

"Everyone wake up! We're here."

Lan Feng was awakened by the voice of the middle-aged man North. He found that the sky had already darkened and he had actually fallen asleep without realizing it...

Yes... During this journey, Lan Feng experienced a rare sense of comfort. In addition, he did not feel any strong energy or hostility, so he relaxed his guard and fell asleep.

Of course... as long as she feels any danger, she will wake up immediately. This is a kind of instinct that has evolved from her body being affected by Honkai energy.

Lan Feng turned his head and saw the brown-haired young man who had just flirted with him stretching himself, also looking like he had just woken up. Lan Feng frowned at him and then looked away.

(It seems... this guy is quite honest. If he really did something just now, I can't help but sense it.)

"Ahaha...are we there yet?"

The young man who had been sleeping all the way murmured and sat up straight. On the other side, Lan Feng looked at the messy and dilapidated buildings in front of him, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He had seen the futuristic-looking Tianming Headquarters, and the Anti-Entropy Base that was not much inferior to it. But now, looking at the dilapidated and irregular wooden buildings in front of him, Lan Feng felt like he had come to another world...

Small villages far from cities and in the wilderness are not protected by government troops and may be attacked by Honkai beasts at any time. However, people living in these places have no choice but to fight against fate and survive...

This settlement was built not long ago. Several nearby villages were attacked by Honkai beasts, and countless people lost their lives. The survivors took limited supplies and built a village here again.

They have become accustomed to this life of fear...

"Hey! What's going on? Something's wrong!"

Suddenly, North shouted. He found that the people who were on guard at the edge of the settlement were gone, but the settlement did not look like it had been attacked by a Honkai beast.

"Something must have happened!"

Seeing this, the two young men who had just woken up immediately opened their sleepy eyes and became extremely alert!

North walked to the door of a wooden house and knocked on it, but there was no response.

"No one's here...? Where did they go?"

North muttered to himself. At this moment, a chaotic noise suddenly came from the inside of the village ahead.

These voices were obviously human voices, and they didn't sound very far away. Mike couldn't help but frown.

"Everyone's gathered together...what happened?"

Lan Feng saw that the three people looked confused, but they were not panicking. It didn't seem to be a dangerous situation. Lan Feng was also a little curious. It was already evening, and the people living here didn't stay at home.

What are we going to do when we gather together in our own house?

"Xiao Lanfeng, don't be afraid. Something's wrong here. But it's okay. Just follow us."

North turned his head and spoke to the silent little girl. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the girl's head, but the girl gently dodged it.

The middle-aged man didn't care about this. He called the two young men and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

Following North and the others, Lan Feng also looked around. After entering the village, Lan Feng found that the situation in this place was worse than he had imagined.

The wooden houses on the outer edge were relatively good. As Lan Feng continued to move forward, she saw all kinds of things that she could not imagine. The broken wooden sheds, looking at the holes, you can tell how the air leaked inside. There were even shacks built with branches and rags, and from the looks of it, it was obvious that someone was living there.

(Is this really the same world?)

However, no matter how he thought about it, what Lan Feng saw was the fact.

The village was not big, and soon North saw a large group of people gathered in front of a wooden shed. They were surrounded there in three layers, arguing fiercely about something.

"So many... Have all the people from the entire village come here?"

Mike looked at the crowd not far away and felt surprised.

"That place... I remember there were two children living there... What happened?"

Lan Feng and his group gradually approached the crowd, and at this time, they could finally hear the quarrel among these people clearly.

"Kill him! Kill him now!"

"We must not let him go, otherwise all of us here will be buried with him!"

……

"No... No way! My brother is just sick, he is not infected! Really not..."

In the middle of the crowd, a young girl hugged a little boy tightly, looking at the people around her who had lived with her for a long time with pleading eyes. However, in response to her, she only received a cold look...

"Nonsense! I saw it all! That kid has white spots on his body! If we don't kill him now, we're all doomed!"

There must be a leader in this kind of situation. A skinny little man shouted this, which immediately caused a large-scale commotion, and everyone around him became nervous. Now, these survivors have encountered countless attacks of the collapse, and naturally have seen what the dead soldiers look like. After hearing the shouting of the short man, the others immediately scattered like frightened birds, without even considering whether his words were true. After all, living in fear for many years, their nerves have long become extremely sensitive.

But these people did not leave, they just surrounded them from a distance, and many of them showed their weapons! Countless pairs of eyes stared at the two people in the center, with no concealment of malice in their eyes.

Hammer... iron rod... kitchen knife...

It must be said that the lethality of these things can't even hurt the epidermis of the Honkai Beast. But it is more than enough to kill an ordinary person who is transforming into a dead soldier.

Seeing this, North, who had just returned, almost understood what happened. But looking at the desperate girl and the nervous people around him, he couldn't help but feel a headache. He didn't know whether the short man's words were true, and he didn't know whether the girl's brother was infected by Honkai. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

What a trouble… I just came back, how could this happen?

Next to him, Lan Feng looked at the little boy in the girl's arms in the middle of the crowd, his eyes becoming sharp.

With her full concentration, she could clearly sense the reaction of the Houkai energy in the little boy...

028 Collapse and Erosion

The atmosphere in the village was heavy and the situation was somewhat stalemate.

"Elena! If you don't get out of the way, we'll kill you too!"

"Your brother is almost dead! But he will turn into a monster when he dies! You might as well kill him now, just for a moment. What difference does it make if he dies sooner or later?"

"Yes! Elena, you don't want to see your brother turn into a monster, do you? Letting him die as a human being is a respect for him!"

Faced with the roars or persuasive voices of the people around her, the girl just shook her head, tears rolling down her face.

"No...don't...this is my only brother...how can I..."

Elena regretted it immensely. If she hadn't taken her brother Kerry to the forest, if she had stopped Kerry from picking up the strange crystal... none of these things would have happened...

After all, Elena was only a 15-year-old girl. In this situation, she had lost her ability to make judgments in her panic and pain, and only regret and self-blame remained in her heart...

The incident started that afternoon. Elena, as usual, followed the women in the settlement to collect wild vegetables in the wild not far away. But this time, her ten-year-old brother, Kerry, suddenly wanted to go with them. Elena thought that nothing would happen, so she agreed.

When they reached the woods, Chris

Suddenly, she picked up a beautiful purple crystal and immediately fell in love with it. When Elena saw the crystal, she had an inexplicable ominous premonition, but since Chris liked it, she let him keep it. She thought so and didn't say much.

However... in the evening, just as Elena returned to her room, Kerry suddenly collapsed for no apparent reason, and the skin on the palm holding the crystal turned gray...

Elena hurriedly kicked the ominous crystal away! But the gray part on Rick's palm continued to spread...! This scene happened to be seen by the short man, which caused the commotion...

"How about... don't make things difficult for them. Elena is also quite pitiful... lock them up. As long as they can't threaten us, that's fine, right?"

Some people looked at the poor girl and couldn't help but speak. However, someone immediately stood up to accuse her.

"Are you kidding me?! Have you forgotten how those zombies broke down the wall? To ensure the safety of all of us, we have no choice but to let him die!"

Indeed, everyone would not let go of this little boy who might be infected. Anyone who becomes a dead soldier will be killed without any relatives, and the residents will not leave such a safety hazard.

"Ahem...Everyone, be quiet."

At this time, North suddenly spoke loudly, he parted the crowd and walked in.

"Look...it's Mr. North..."

"Mr. North is back!"

"..."

Among these survivors, this middle-aged man is considered one of the leaders, and he has a lot of say in this settlement. At this moment, North felt that he should not remain silent any longer.

"Elena, we won't believe rumors for no reason. As long as you can prove that little Kerry is really not infected, we will definitely not make things difficult for you!"

North tried to lower his voice as much as possible and comforted Elena. However, Elena seemed even more nervous and couldn't help hugging her brother tightly...

She used herself to cover the boy's graying skin, but she didn't know what to do.

Yes, she knew very well what this graying of the skin meant. Soon, her only brother would turn into a zombie-like monster...

But... even if I knew all this, would I be able to rationally let go and let them kill Kerry?

how can that be possible……

Elena was not a powerful person with high consciousness, she was just an ordinary girl. So...she could only hug Kerry tightly and cry softly.

"Sister...I feel so uncomfortable..."

"Kerry?! Are you awake?"

Suddenly hearing that hoarse familiar voice, Elena looked down in surprise. However, what she saw was not a beautiful miracle, but a cruel reality that made her heart sink into an ice cave...

The graying of the boy's body had spread to his neck, and his whole body was twitching in pain. Soon... the death-warrior transformation would spread to his face, and by then, those who were still hesitating around him would rush up without hesitation...

"I've already told you! I saw it with my own eyes! That brat's hands had completely turned gray!"

Hearing the short man's shout, people once again looked at the siblings gathered in the middle. However, Elena had already hidden Kerry's hand in her sleeve, so they could not see anything.

"Hey! Elena, let's see Kerry's hands!"

"Yeah, if he's just sick, it's okay for us to take a look, right?"

The residents became restless again, and North's face darkened. He had basically determined that the boy had been corrupted by the Honkai. However, as a leader, he had the responsibility to confirm it with his own eyes again!

Being extremely careful, North held the knife hidden in his trouser pocket, pretending that his hand was just in his pocket, and walked slowly towards Elena in a seemingly casual manner...

"Hey...! Lan Feng! What do you want to do!?"

However, North suddenly heard Mike's anxious shout. He turned back in surprise, only to find that the rescued silver-haired girl quickly passed him and ran towards Elena in the open space in the middle.

“…Don’t go over there!”

North quickly stretched out his hand to grab the girl's shoulder, trying to stop this naughty child from making trouble. However, the girl took a slight side step and easily avoided his palm, and the next moment, she came in front of Elena.

"……Who are you?"

The distraught girl raised her head and looked at the strange silver-haired girl with desperate eyes full of doubt.

"show me."

Lan Feng spoke in a low voice, and without further ado, he broke open Elena's arms that were tightly around her brother. Surprisingly, Elena did not put up any resistance to Lan Feng's behavior.

This is because... On the one hand, Lan Feng was not as rude as those residents, but took her brother gently, without any malicious intent. On the other hand, Lan Feng's appearance was indeed very friendly. Facing her impeccable and cute appearance, Elena didn't think that this angelic little girl would hurt herself.

In fact, Lan Feng really had no intention of hurting them. She suddenly made such a move just to verify something she had just thought of...

Lan Feng squatted down, used her body to block the gaze of the outsiders, and began to observe the child. However, when she saw the boy's face, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened...

Half of the boy's face was covered with gray and white spots, his eyes had begun to fade, and his body was shaking uncontrollably...

028 Collapse and Erosion >>

Generally speaking, this is the edge of death. If a person is in this state, he will definitely die unless there is an accident.

Although Lan Feng had never seen a assassin before, she could tell that the little boy's condition must be very bad.

But...it's worth a try!

Lan Feng was just slightly stunned, then he reached out and gently pressed his hand on the little boy's chest.

(I can feel... the Houkai particles in his body that are constantly expanding and corroding his cells! But... at this level, I can control it!)
