K424 of the Collapse World

"It's just a bunch of dead people...get out of my way!"

Kiana shouted loudly, raising her gun and shooting at the group of assassins in front of her that she could not avoid. After knocking them down, the sound of gunfire attracted more assassins around her. Facing these assassins who surrounded her together, the girls chose to continue to advance.

However, in addition to the slow-moving low-level dead soldiers, some high-level Honkai creatures gradually appeared on the road and attacked the two running girls.

"Huh...Huh...This...?! Kiana, where are you planning to run to?"

"Of course first

We left the city center! There are Honkai creatures everywhere around here, and we can't find a place to rest!"

Kiana quickly responded to Mei's question, and while running, she fired a shot, hitting a Knight-level Honkai Beast that was charging in front of her, causing its momentum to slow down. Kiana took the opportunity to pull Mei through the gap created in an instant, and directly broke through the encirclement of these monsters.

"Hey...Kiana is awesome!"

Mei couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at Kiana's smooth movements. In response, Kiana generously accepted Mei's praise.

"Of course, I have fought these things for two years before. If it weren't for this gun being so weak, it would be easy for me to deal with them!"

As she spoke, she skillfully reloaded the revolver in her hand, fired again and knocked down a few assassins who were blocking the way, then pulled Mei into an alley on the side of the road.

"Eh? Kiana... this isn't the way out of the city center!"

"I know. We came here just to get away from those big guys! They can't squeeze into such a small alley with their size!"

Kiana used the barrel of her gun to swing sideways, and the huge force caused the assassin's head to spin half a circle, and he fell to the ground. After knocking down the only assassin in the alley, Kiana turned sideways without hesitation, knocked open a wooden door next to her with her shoulder, and rushed into a house next to her with Mei.

"Hu...Hu...We are basically safe here. Let's take a short rest before moving on, Mei."

"Well...it's up to you to decide, Kiana."

Kiana leaned against the wall and panted softly. Even with her extraordinary physique, she still felt a little out of breath after running for more than an hour. She was not surprised that Mei could keep up with her. After all, Mei was able to save her from those "hooligans" in the first place, so she must not be inferior to her in terms of strength or physical fitness.

"Um, Kiana..."

"Huh? What's wrong, Mei?"

Hearing Mei's voice, Kiana turned her head slightly, looked at the girl sitting side by side with her, and waited for her next words.

"I'm still... worried. Kiana, I want to go home and check on the safety of my family..."

"Mei's family?"

"Well, my...father."

After hearing Mei's words, the silver-haired girl fell into a brief silence, but soon, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Is that so... Mei also wants to find her father. Come to think of it, we are the same in this respect, Mei-senpai~"

Thinking of her father who disappeared without a word, Kiana exhaled and slowly closed her eyes.

"Mei, actually I..."

———Bang! !

With the sudden sound of a heavy object hitting the ceiling not far away, Kiana was about to say something. She immediately turned over and sat up, pulled out the revolver tied to her thigh, pointed the muzzle at the large cloud of dust in front of her, and her eyes were immediately filled with vigilance.

Mei also raised the assault rifle in her hand, which she had picked up from a Self-Defense Force soldier on the road. In this way, she stood with Kiana, also alert to the unknown things ahead...

"Target locked, returning to normal mode."

Suddenly, a young girl's voice came from behind the dust, and Kiana and Mei were both stunned. The next moment, as the dust gradually became thinner, a gray-haired girl with double spiral braids slowly walked over and stood not far from Kiana and Mei.

"child......?"

"Mei, don't let your guard down!"

Kiana whispered, frowning at the little girl holding the yellow doll. Although she thought so, Kiana was a little entangled. Should she point her weapon at a little girl? But this little girl was able to smash through the ceiling and jump down. Obviously, she was not an ordinary person...

Thinking of this, she didn't know whether to raise or lower the gun in her hand, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

At this time, the gray-haired girl's eyes fell on Kiana's face. She stared at her for a long time, and finally shook her head slightly.

"Although they look alike, it seems that they are not... Not only because of the huge difference in hair color, but Sissy-sister would never make such a stupid expression..."

She whispered to herself, not letting Kiana hear her voice. On the other side, Kiana and Mei's entanglement did not last too long. The gray-haired girl standing in front of them exhaled lightly and raised her head directly. Her cold and tender voice echoed in the empty room.

"Nice to meet you, ladies. My name is Bronya Zajcek, and I just arrived in this city. I hope you can take me to a place. In exchange, I will protect your safety and escort you out of this city afterwards."

Hearing the girl's words, Kiana was slightly stunned, then

He gave a disdainful smile and his blue eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh? You are a little girl who hasn't even grown all your hair yet, and you dare to say that you will protect us? No need, we don't need your protection. Humph... If you don't act so arrogantly, I wouldn't mind letting you join our team."

"..."

Hearing Kiana's blunt refusal, Bronya fell silent.

"Hey, Kiana! Your attitude is too..."

Looking at the petite gray-haired girl, Mei was still a little hesitant, but Kiana beside her was not moved at all.

"Don't be careless! Mei, there's something wrong with this girl. She gives me a dangerous feeling..."

Looking at the gray-haired girl's gradually cold eyes, Kiana gritted her teeth and stood in front of Mei, raised the swaying gun again, pointed it at her body, and placed her finger completely on the trigger.

"Shorty, get out of here right now! Your strength should be enough to deal with those assassins and Honkai beasts. We don't need your protection, and we don't want to have anything to do with you!"

Listening to Kiana's ultimatum, Bronya sighed softly. The next moment, she held the Hom doll in one hand, slowly raised one hand, and pointed her finger at Kiana not far away.

With this simple action, Bronya's aura seemed to change.

"If possible, I don't want to force you, but... this is really a very important matter to me. If cooperation cannot be established, I don't mind using force to solve the problem."

At this point, with a wave of light and shadow, a ferocious half-body mecha emerged from behind the girl, aiming its huge gun barrel at the dazed Kiana and Mei...

--boom!

The next moment, a strong orange beam roared out from the barrel, brushing past Kiana's head and hitting the wall behind her. The huge power directly penetrated the two thick walls and caused a powerful explosion at the other end of the alley.

Leaving aside Mei who was completely stunned, Kiana turned her head stiffly and looked at the power of the attack. She shuddered as she imagined the consequences of the attack on herself.

"Wait...wait! Little girl, let's talk it over nicely. You see...it's tiring to keep this position. Can you please take that big and thick thing back first? I surrender, we surrender!"

260 trio's first gathering >>

After observing the girl standing next to the mecha for a while, Kiana threw away her weapon and raised her hands without hesitation, indicating that she had surrendered. In response, Mei stared at Kiana beside her in amazement. Although she was a little reluctant, she also put down her weapon obediently and raised her hands like Kiana.

Seeing the two girls cooperating, Bronya chuckled, nodded slightly, and then cancelled the reappearance mode of the Heavy Armored Bunny, letting it disappear in a wave of light and shadow, and slowly walked towards Kiana and Mei who had given up resistance.

Seeing the gray-haired girl getting closer and closer to her, Kiana's lips revealed a faint confident smile...

"Wouldn't it be better if it was like this from the beginning..."

As Bronya spoke, she slowly walked over and came in front of Kiana and Mei.

"In this case, things are much simpler. My request is very simple. As long as you tell me..."

———!

"drink!"

Without any warning, Kiana, who was standing on the right, disappeared instantly! With a wave of space fluctuations, her figure suddenly appeared next to Bronya, and she raised her hand to grab the girl's shoulder!

Although she didn't know what the mecha was, Kiana believed that all the girl's strength was in that mecha. She had already put away the mecha, and with her weak loli body, wouldn't it be easy for her to subdue her?

(What a naive little girl! It's so easy to pretend to surrender and you succeeded. Humph! Let me teach you how to fight...)

--Snapped!

However, Kiana's confident palm was empty, and as a small fist hit her face at a faster speed, Kiana's mind was disconnected at this moment. The punch was not too heavy, but it was definitely not the strength a little loli should have! She was stunned by the punch and could not make any moves in the next moment...

(Huh? What’s going on… isn’t she a weak loli?)

But Bronya would not stop, she kicked Kiana's calf fiercely, and when she fell to her knees in pain, she turned around and twisted her arm, pinning Kiana to the ground. This set of movements was swift and experienced, like a warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time...

This is indeed the case. Bronya received Seele's gift, but she still did not forget her previous fighting style. The Ural Silver Wolf, who once dominated the mercenary world, did not get the reputation for nothing.

After easily subduing Kiana with just one move, Bronya turned her head slightly and looked at the still stunned

Meiyi is still in place.

"...As long as you tell me where the headquarters of MassiveElectric is, I can send you away after I find it."

"Eh?!"

Mei couldn't help but screamed when she heard the word the gray-haired girl said. On the other side, Kiana came to her senses at this time and twisted her body hard, trying to break free from the gray-haired girl's hands.

“Ugh! Let me go! You damned dwarf…! You actually hid your abilities in front of me… Did you deliberately lure me into attacking?!”

"Idiot, Bronya never hid her weakness from the beginning to the end. But you, just now, wrote everything you were thinking on your face. In this situation, only an idiot like you would fall for it."

Hearing this, Bronya lowered her head and spoke softly in a cold tone, twisting Kiana's arm and suddenly increasing her strength. Kiana screamed in pain, bit the group: five four three six five nine three eight nine clenched her teeth and fell to the ground, looking at the gray-haired girl who suppressed her with an unwilling face.

Originally, she thought that the opponent was only able to dominate because of that strange mecha, but Kiana was shocked to realize that the gray-haired girl was also stronger than herself in close combat.

What should she do at this time? She had a gun but the other party had a cannon, so she had no chance to fight. After pretending to surrender and engaging in close combat, she still couldn't win, and was instead pinned to the ground by this girl who was 20 centimeters shorter than her...

(Why... why do I always lose the battle at the crucial moment?! Why is this happening?! This kind of thing... my script shouldn't be like this!)

Kiana clenched her teeth, feeling helpless and unwilling. At this time, Mei walked over carefully and looked at Bronya in front of her.

"Um... Miss Bronya, are you planning to go to the ME Club? If possible, can you tell me what your purpose is?"

"My friend is at massiveelectric, and I came here to find her."

Bronya replied calmly, her voice was a little warmer than when she was talking to Kiana. She had a better impression of this black-haired girl who actively cooperated with her. If Bronya had carefully read the task description issued by Cocolia, she would know that this black-haired girl was the eldest daughter of the ME Club, Mei Raiden. But at that time, her mind was completely on Seele, so she naturally had no time to pay attention to these things...

"Friends? Is that so..."

Hearing Bronya's answer, Mei breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a gentle smile of relief.

"I see, it's someone related to father... I see, I'll take you there. Please let Kiana go, we won't resist anymore."

After hearing Mei's words, Bronya thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, let go of Kiana's wrist, quickly jumped to the side, and left her side.

Kiana stretched her numb shoulders and stood up with Mei's help. She looked at the gray-haired girl somewhat unwillingly, then cast a complicated look at Mei beside her.

"Mei! Why did you agree to this guy's conditions... Is it because of me..."

"Relax, Kiana... I don't think that child is a bad person, and she didn't hurt us. Besides, she should have some connection with my father, so don't worry."

"I see, if Mei says so..."

Mei gently stroked her head, and Kiana, who had been furious, slowly calmed down. She bit her lip, angrily glanced at the calm and composed gray-haired girl, and then stopped talking, tacitly agreeing with Mei's choice.

Mei reached out her hand to Bronya. "My name is Mei Raiden, Miss Bronya, and we have the same destination. Please take care of me along the way~"

"Raiden... Mei? I understand. Then I'll ask you to lead the way, Mei-sister."

Bronya also gently held Mei's outstretched hand, with a warm smile on her delicate face. This gentle and simple smile was something she could never do in another world...

Just like that, the three of them reached a temporary consensus. Under Mei's leadership, they set out on their journey again, slowly approaching a certain building complex.

What they don't know is that as the collapse of Changkong City continues to develop, some higher-level collapse beasts begin to be bred by the gradually stronger collapse energy...

At this time, in the sea outside Changkong City, a huge white warship broke through the clouds and moved at high speed towards the city.

Inside the bridge, a mature red-haired woman sat cross-legged in the captain's seat, looking at the ruined city through the observation device, with a hint of anger in her solemn expression.

"It's finally here... The third sequence collapse. As expected, you are not

You will remain unknown. It is not surprising that you have caused such a disaster since you have been active for several years...”

Ji Zi looked at the ruins of the city with a warlike smile on her face.

"Since you dare to do such a thing, don't blame us for treating you with the same cruel means...The Third Herrscher!"

261 Collapse due to various reasons

"Um... Shiris! The place you are looking for, the massiveelectric company where our target is, is the complex of buildings over there!"

On the streets of Changkong City, which are now full of Honkai beasts and the remains of dead soldiers, Jiuxiao raised his hand slightly, pointed at several tall and luxurious buildings in the distance, and spoke seriously to the girl in a coat beside him.

"Ah... I remember this place! I'm finally back, hehe... This place is still the same as before, me club."

Looking at the buildings in the distance, Shirley couldn't help but sigh. She raised her hand and pushed aside the long silver hair that blocked her vision, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

(We'll meet soon...! Well, they should be fine. With the Honkai protection measures and combat forces within the ME company, they won't be broken by this level of Honkai. And with Kiana's strength, she can even end the third Honkai directly...)

Shirley thought silently, turned her head slightly, looked at Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple beside her, and bowed to her with clasped fists.

"Thank you, Miss Penglai Temple. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found this place so easily. You really helped a lot. Please accept my gratitude."

Jiuxiao felt flattered by Shirley's solemn thanks. She shook her hands in panic, looking a little embarrassed.

"Ah? This, this... don't be so polite, Shirley, as a companion, isn't this a matter of course?"
