K424 of the Collapse World

Cocolia asked with a frown, and walked towards Lan Feng, wanting to check her injuries, but Lan Feng gently avoided her.

"You ordered me before... not to hurt other children..."

Hearing the girl's weak but still calm voice, Kokolia was stunned.

She was speechless. It was just a casual remark she made before, but she didn't expect that this girl would obey it as an order and even get hurt because of it...

"Does the wound hurt? Let me see..."

"It's just a minor injury, no need."

The girl suddenly stepped back again, avoiding Cocolia's hand, and walked into her room.

"I'm sorry, I need to rest... Mother."

Looking at the closed door, Cocolia opened her mouth but just sighed and put down her hand that was suspended in the air.

(Could it be that my judgment was really wrong...? Sigh, I just brought her back and this happened. This incident must have deeply hurt her. I'm afraid she no longer believes me.)

Thinking of the girl dodging her hand twice in a row, with a vigilant look, Cocolia shook her head helplessly and left the corridor, still thinking about something in her heart...

At this moment, a figure hiding at the corner of the stairs also breathed a sigh of relief. However, after relaxing, her beautiful deep blue eyes were filled with self-blame and unwillingness.

Xier clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she was completely unaware.

“Siris…”

Obviously, the girl who showed her kindness and care for her was hurt, but she could only hide in the corner and tremble, not daring to step forward to protect her...

Xi'er felt very guilty about that girl. Lais and the others usually just liked to bully her, but in the end, was it her who harmed Xilis...

[You want to kill them, right?]

"Who?"

A red light flashed in her eyes, but Xier was completely unaware of it and thought that what she had just heard was just an illusion.

At this moment, a certain mark on her chest began to emit a strange dark red glow...

·————————————·

"Ha... is this considered a good show?"

In the room, Lan Feng slowly put down her hands that were covering her face, revealing her pretty face that was intact underneath.

Of course, it was for this reason that she avoided Cocolia's hand. She was not hurt at all. If Cocolia saw it, how would she explain it?

"Then what happens next..."

Lan Feng wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The bite wound in her mouth had completely healed under the control of Honkai energy. She opened the drawer, found a piece of medical tape, and stuck it on the side of her face.

“This is a necessary disguise.”

……

From then on, Lan Feng did not do anything out of line, so she clearly felt that Cocolia's attitude towards her was gradually becoming more and more gentle...

Life has become stable.

Until this day...

(It’s been so long since I realized it…)

"Hey! Do you understand? Get out of here right away. Otherwise, Mom will be away on a long trip tomorrow, and then no one will be able to protect you!"

(Do I have to stay here until 2014?)

Looking at Lai Si who was chattering in front of her, Lan Feng fell into deep thought. She had long begun to doubt her current behavior.

"You guy!"

Looking at Lan Feng's absent-minded look, Lais angrily threw her fist at Lan Feng...

Anyway, there is no one around at this time, so if I teach her a lesson here, mom won’t know!

"Eh……?"

Lais' eyes widened in disbelief, her fist missed and she had no idea what was happening. The purple-haired girl disappeared right in front of her!

"Go back now. I'm very annoyed and don't have time to play games with you."

The girl's cold voice came from behind. Lais was startled and turned back quickly, but still saw nothing...

“You…what’s going on?!”

While she was looking around in panic, the purple-haired girl had already left the area.

·————————————·

"Alas, I was a little impulsive this time."

Walking in the woods, Lan Feng scratched the back of her head. This was the first time she had shown her strength in front of this annoying older girl.

She did this involuntarily in a state of upset. Thinking about it now, she feels a little regretful.

Will she tell Cocolia?

Probably not, otherwise, she would have exposed her purpose. Lan Feng could basically see through the naive psychology of this child.

"Never mind, it's just a small matter. It's time to go check on Xi'er. As for Xing, she should be fine now."

Thinking of the pink-haired little girl who was laughing and playing with other children, Lan Feng smiled with relief, turned around, and started walking back towards the orphanage.

064 People in the Dark

A village somewhere in Central Asia...

In such a region where collapse is frequent, it is impossible to build

Large-scale towns were built. People who made a living in such places lived in fear all day long. When the Honkai beasts attacked, they had to rely on backward weapons and equipment to fight back. Every time, there would be casualties, but they had no choice but to try their best to protect their homes.

After all, no one knows that if they abandon this home, a greater disaster may suddenly strike at any time.

However, during this period, with the arrival of a white-haired stranger, their lives gradually became peaceful.

The white-haired man was very powerful and easily destroyed the Honkai beasts that were entrenched near the village. Afterwards, he asked to stay in this place temporarily, and the villagers readily agreed.

So, the stranger and his daughter lived in a two-story wooden house located on the edge of the village. Every time he could predict the appearance of the Honkai beast in advance and annihilate it before it caused casualties.

·————————————·

"Dad...why are you fighting to protect these strangers?"

The silver-haired girl's hands were shaking as she took the bandage and disinfectant and carefully helped the man in front of her bandage his wound. After treating the terrible penetrating wound, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, and asked her father this question.

Tightening the bandage on his arm, the silver-haired man moved his body, not caring about the hideous wounds that would scare ordinary people.

"Ah... As a knight - a member of the Kaslana family, no matter what, I can't stand by and watch those innocent people being killed by the Houkai."

The rescued villagers were not ungrateful. All of Siegfried's expenses for living here were paid by the village chief, and the bandages and alcohol he used when he was injured were also given to him by the people here.

In the eyes of the villagers, Siegfried is a hero who protected them, and such a thing is taken for granted.

"Speaking of which, the village chief's daughter came to deliver medicine this morning. Tsk tsk... She is so beautiful... My daughter, based on the knowledge I taught you about identifying beauties, please give us your evaluation of that young lady's appearance."

"Dad! I'm talking to you seriously now!"

Siegfried smiled slightly and spoke half-jokingly, but the girl was not in the mood to joke with him as usual.

"Oh... okay."

"You've been hurt..."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a superficial wound. Besides, I won't fall in front of a mere Honkai beast."

After hearing Siegfried's words, the girl was silent for a moment. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly raised her head with a serious look on her face.

"Then I will go fight too..."

"no!"

Siegfried rejected the girl's proposal without hesitation, just like he had done countless times before. But he didn't expect that this time, the girl didn't keep silent.

"Why?! If I fight, dad won't get hurt again, right? Since dad taught me the Kaslana family's fighting method, didn't he want me to fight to protect others like you?"

After an incident a few months ago, this girl, named Subject K423, experienced a leap in emotional growth after meeting a purple-haired girl.

Therefore, everything is different from the original development trajectory...

Siegfried looked at the emotional girl in astonishment. He did not expect that this girl who had always been well-behaved would actually refute him.

but……

Looking at this young silver-haired little girl, whose eyes flickered slightly because of fear, but still looked at him stubbornly, Siegfried's pupils shrank slightly, and the next moment, his eyes softened.

(She is not Kiana? What does it matter...)

A smile appeared on the corner of this man's mouth.

"Humph... This is my daughter! But, you are still too weak now..."

"I will become strong! Strong enough to fight alongside Dad and for those in need!"

"Haha... I'll wait and see. The training will be even harder. Are you prepared?"

Seeing the burning fighting spirit in the girl's eyes, Siegfried felt a little unbelievable. A few months ago, when he first met this girl, her eyes were still empty, her heart was as blank as a sheet of paper, and she looked dazed. But now, unknowingly, she seemed to have a complete soul and became a real flesh-and-blood person.

Moreover, this determination to fight for protection...

"Dad, you said it before... The Kaslana family fights to protect. I hate my own incompetence! I also want to protect dad! I don't want to see you go out to fight alone, always with injuries!"

The girl excitedly shouted to her father. At this moment, she once again remembered the purple-haired girl who stood in front of her during the nuclear explosion a few months ago...

After that, there were countless times when my father had to distract himself from the attacks of Honkai Beasts while fighting...

Time and again, Siegfried protected him from behind, looking at his

Looking at her father's tall and majestic figure, the girl began to wish that she could become someone who fights to protect others.

At this time, hearing the girl's declaration, Siegfried's heart could not help but be shocked! This stubborn girl in front of him overlapped with a young figure...

(Cecilia...I'm sorry, my daughter...)

Under an inexplicable impulse, Siegfried suddenly stepped forward and hugged his "daughter" tightly.

Whether she is the real Kiana or not, it doesn't matter anymore...

"Kiana..."

"Um...what?"

"You are my daughter, Kiana Kaslana. That is your name!"

(Whether it’s this “Kiana” or the real Kiana, I won’t give up…)

Siegfried was not worried about what would happen to his two daughters after finding the real Kiana.

(We’ll talk about these things later.)

Thinking of this, he hugged the girl tightly in his arms as if she were the most precious treasure.

At this moment, the girl who escaped from the experimental chamber finally had her own name.

However, due to some factors, this was no longer the original trajectory of the world. The time when she got the name "Kiana" was moved forward by two years...

"Sure enough, still nothing?"

In a research institute somewhere on the southeast coast of North America, a girl with red twin ponytails looked at the holographic projection in front of her. It was an extremely detailed map of Northern Europe to parts of Asia, with floating text in dim light, marking the branches of Anti-Entropy in those places. Among them, there were a few bases in Russia, Shenzhou, the Middle East and other regions, but none in the Far East and Northern Europe.

Tesla took a desperate look at the holographic projection and turned on the troop communication.

"U-14 troops, did you get anything?"

"I'm sorry, Dr. Tesla, we haven't found the target you specified yet."

In order to find someone, Tesla mobilized all the troops she could mobilize and launched a secret search in North Asia and Eastern Europe...

"It's okay. Each team will report in turn... Hmm? Captain U-42, do you have anything to say?"

Tesla looked at a communication window that suddenly flashed. This was the captain of a Titan driving unit under her command. At this moment, the other party suddenly sent a communication. Could it be that he had discovered something?

"Dr. Tesla, we have found traces of the Valkyrie of Destiny in the Okhotsk region. What should we do?"

"Okhotsk? Isn't it by the sea?"

Tesla was a little disappointed that the news he got was not what he wanted. However, after calling up the area on the map and taking a detailed look, Tesla found that the area should be within the sphere of influence of Cocolia.

(Why would someone with a destiny go to a place like that? Could it be that the vixen Cocolia has finally revealed her true colors?)
