K424 of the Collapse World

Gently raise your left hand and wave it in the air...

Five golden threads were drawn out from between his fingers. They quickly intertwined densely in the air, condensed into a wall, and swept past the Honkai beast in an instant.

——Shua…

At this moment, this powerful Honkai beast seemed to have stopped in time, and it froze in place, completely unable to move.

The next moment, as the body of the Honkai Beast tilted slightly, it actually collapsed...

That's right, it collapsed! Just like soft tofu being crushed, the body of the Honkai Beast turned into purple liquid and debris, flowing all over the ground!

Claudia narrowed her eyes, and of course she saw clearly what had just happened in front of her.

The light screen formed by the golden threads cut the body of the Honkai Beast into tiny pieces...

This kind of power shocked Claudia, an S-rank Valkyrie. Although she could kill a Honkai beast of this level without using weapons, she could never destroy it to this extent...

After doing all this, the silver-haired girl slowly put down her hands and returned to her dazed look with her knees hugged.

Several automatic cleaning robots appeared from the opened wall, and came to the place where the Honkai beast's "corpse" was, and began to clean it. In response, the girl just tilted her head slightly and glanced at them, and then did nothing more.

"See, Claudia. This is the power of the combined blood of Kaslana and Shaniat."

Otto's laughing voice woke Claudia up, and he was very satisfied with his adjutant's surprised look.

"Your mission is to teach her the fighting skills of a Valkyrie. You should have discovered that her fighting ability is terrifyingly strong and she is a combat resource that can be utilized. With your personality, you are most suitable to be her mentor."

That’s right, Claudia, who was personally indoctrinated with the current Valkyrie system ideology by Otto, can indeed best guide her and tap into her combat potential.

"Yes, I understand."

Otto nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he stopped.

"Oh, by the way, although according to observation, she has a relatively gentle temperament and will only fight back when she is hurt, you'd better be careful. Due to repeated brainwashing, her emotions seem to have become abnormally cold. We haven't tried to communicate with her yet, and now, this task is left to you. Don't let me down, Claudia."

"As you command... Lord Otto."

Watching Otto disappear around the corner, Claudia took a breath and turned her gaze to the silver-haired girl in the center of the metal warehouse.

"So, are you going to start now, Miss Claudia?"

"Well, let's get started."

Hearing Claudia's answer, Director Dean nodded and walked to the control room behind.

"Kiana Kaslana..."

Claudia whispered to herself, watching the metal door slowly opening in front of her, and clenched her fists...

Elsewhere in the Destiny Headquarters...

In the messy laboratory, a young woman was breathing heavily, her face covered with her hands, her eyes bloodshot.

It wasn't that she was overworked. There was only one experiment every few weeks, and the time in between was completely at her own disposal, so she had enough time to rest.

However, this situation only occurred because of her huge mental pressure...

"Nonie, are you okay?"

As the electronic door behind her unlocked, a man's voice suddenly came. However, Noni did not move.

"Charlie... Tell me, do I still deserve redemption? These days, every time I close my eyes, all I can hear are the voices of those children in my head... I can't stand it anymore!"

Charles gently hugged the crying woman and sighed. They had no other choice but to obey Otto's orders in order to survive...

The Serenity Gem Fusion Experiment...

Noni, who was deprived of her lifelong rights, was transferred to this experimental project led by Dr. Maki. One of the fragments of the Second Herrscher's core, the Serenity Gem, was used to fuse with the Valkyrie's body.

It was similar to the Second Herrscher resurrection experiment, except that this experiment used living humans...

054 Small Town

More than ten days have passed since the nuclear explosion on the Ukrainian border.

Although the local government sent a search team to investigate, the incident was soon dropped due to the small number of witnesses. Although all the people in power knew that the incident was closely related to the Mandate of Heaven, they had no evidence to prove it. Moreover, they were protected by the Mandate of Heaven organization and did not dare to break off relations with this powerful organization.

No one knew that there once was a village with hundreds of people living in the wilderness.

In those areas where collapse is raging, no one is willing to pay attention to what is there.

……

On this day, Luki, a small city located in western Russia, was as quiet as usual.

Under the protection of the Valkyries of the Destiny Division, for the city dwellers living in these safe places, the so-called collapse is, in their eyes, a natural disaster that is far away. When they hear about collapse, it is like a person living in the desert hearing others discuss tsunamis. These people never worry that such a distant disaster will befall them.

Luki City, such a backward small border city, is naturally incomparable to cities in Shenzhou and Far East. It even retains the aristocratic system of the old times. However, even so, it still has obvious social characteristics.

Those who had money and power all lived in those magnificent houses, were surrounded by servants, had delicious food, and lived a happy and wonderful life.

However, the majority of people in this city do not have these things. Just like in most places in the world, these people at the bottom of society can only survive by working hard for a small number of people.

There are few pedestrians on the main streets of this city. However, everyone seems to be busy. The pace of life in this small city does not match its backwardness.

So, naturally no one would pay attention to the thin figure sitting on the ground leaning against the wall of the alley.

She was wearing a tattered coat, with her two slender legs exposed. Her dirty little feet didn't even have shoes, and her whole face was hidden under a big hood. No matter how you looked at her, she was just an ordinary little beggar.

Not far away, a man was walking hurriedly on the roadside. He tightened his coat, and the cold wind made his body shiver. But when he thought of his work, he shuddered, hurriedly quickened his pace, and walked forward with his head down.

Suddenly, he saw from the corner of his eye that the road ahead was blocked by something. When he lowered his head and saw that it was just a ragged little beggar, an expression of disgust immediately appeared on his face.

"Tsk...what bad luck..."

The man smacked his lips, walked around the skinny beggar, and continued walking forward along the roadside. He didn't want to look at the beggar any more. No matter how pitiful the beggar was, what did it have to do with him?

However, he didn't know that behind him, the little beggar whom he despised just looked at him with interest. She raised her head slightly, revealing her pure blue eyes under the hood.

However, the strange thing was that there was no trace of fear or panic in her eyes, which belonged to a beggar.

A calmness.

"He seems to be speaking Russian? Weird... I've never learned Russian, but why can I understand it perfectly..."

She muttered to herself, looking coldly at the passers-by, not paying attention to the disgust or pity they gave her. She stayed here just to take a short rest.

"So, I've already reached Russia. This is an unexpected speed..."

The girl stretched, and a few strands of silver hair slipped out from her hood.

This girl is naturally Lan Feng.

After experiencing the nuclear explosion, she began wandering alone again.

Even if she was hungry, the Houkai energy in her body would be converted into the energy her body needed, so the need to eat was no longer necessary. Except for occasionally stopping to rest due to fatigue, she walked towards the east almost non-stop day and night...

(At this time... Kiana should still be wandering around with Siegfried. It will be a long time before she goes to St. Freya's College. What will happen during this time...?)

"Um...Excuse me...Do you need this?"

Suddenly, a childish voice interrupted Lan Feng's thoughts. She raised her head and saw a little girl with long pink hair. She was wearing a beautiful purple dress and was looking at her worriedly with her big watery silver eyes.

She was holding a bag of long bread in her arms, and she tried to free her other hand, took out a loaf of bread from the bag and handed it to Lan Feng.

"you……?"

Lan Feng couldn't help but feel surprised. This was the first time someone treated her with kindness since she left the nuclear bomb crater and came to this undamaged human area.

Even though she didn't need to eat, even though she was just a naive little girl younger than herself, this kindness was real...

Lan Feng didn't expect to receive such kindness in this cold city.

"Um... yeah... I'm sorry, don't you... need it?"

Seeing that the thin figure wrapped in a coat did not react, the pink-haired girl seemed a little embarrassed. She took a step back slightly in fear, but still stretched out her hand tremblingly and handed the bread to the figure...

"……Thank you."

She stretched out her hand and gently took the loaf of bread. Lan Feng clearly saw that the girl was slightly stunned, and then she was filled with a bright smile.

"But...can you tell me why you gave me this? We should be strangers, right?"

The girl was obviously very young, but Lan Feng couldn't help asking. She was quite sensitive to unprovoked kindness.

"Eh...? Because... Mom told Xing... No, Mom told me to help people in need..."

After hearing Lan Feng's question, the girl thought for a moment and then answered like this. She seemed to have said something wrong and changed her words slightly.

When she spoke, there was a confused expression on her face, and it was obvious that she didn't quite understand what this sentence meant.

"Why do you think I need help?"

Looking at the timid look of this girl, Lan Feng found it a little funny and continued to ask her.

"Um...did I do something wrong? But...this is the first time I left home alone..."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Lan Feng widened his eyes slightly.

Going out alone for the first time?

"I'm sorry... I, I have to go home now, otherwise... it will be late and Mom and Dad will be worried..."

“Ah, what…?”

"Goodbye, sister."

Lan Feng was slightly startled when he suddenly heard the girl's somewhat difficult voice. Before he could react, the girl bowed slightly, turned around and left in a hurry.

Looking at the girl's back gradually walking away, Lan Feng looked at the bread in his hand and fell silent.

Who is she...

Even though that was probably just a little girl who was willing to give alms to beggars, Lan Feng was still a little interested in her.

"Look at that..."

"Ah... it's from that family..."

At this moment, a rustling sound came into his ears, and Lan Feng suddenly saw that there were several people on the opposite street, pointing and talking about something in this direction.

Seeing this, Lan Feng pricked up her ears and listened carefully. The Honkai energy strengthened the body in all aspects, including her hearing. Concentrating her mind, she vaguely heard the conversation between those people...

"…Who is that girl? She even has the mind to give alms to beggars. How stupid!"

"That girl seems to be from a noble family nearby..."

054 Town>>

"...Yes, I think I have seen her before. She seems to be the eldest daughter of the Mal family..."

"Hmph... Damn rich guy... That guy Lono seems to be working for that noble family... Heh, I remember that guy looked a little strange a few days ago, as if he had mental problems..."

"Alas, this world..."

"..."

Later, these people's topic went off track.

Complaining about life and society. Lan Feng shook his head and stopped eavesdropping on these meaningless conversations.

Thinking back to the conversation I just heard, I tried to extract useful information, and the only thing I found was...

The girl was a noble and the eldest daughter of the Mal family.

The Marr family?

Seems a bit impressive...

After thinking about it for a while, although he seemed to have some impression, Lan Feng couldn't remember it for a moment.

(Never mind... maybe it's just a random name I remembered from reading a novel... But anyway, this thing...)

Looking at the tender yellow loaf of bread in his hand, Lan Feng hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and took a small bite...

As the sweet aroma of wheat spread in his mouth, Lan Feng's eyes lit up and he took a second bite.

Lan Feng had not eaten properly since she came to this world. She did not want to waste the precious food of the siblings in the village. The wild fruits she found in the forest were sour and astringent. Besides, she would not be hungry anyway, so she simply gave up eating.

But now, having come into contact with normal food again, Lan Feng discovered that eating was actually a kind of enjoyment...

The sky slowly darkened. Lan Feng looked up at the sky, with a hint of worry in his eyes...

It looks like it's going to rain soon. I think I need to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Lan Feng stood up and walked deeper into the alley. He was about to put the half-eaten bread into his pocket, but when he saw his dirty coat, he gave up the idea.
