Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

Shen Yunie is still unsure. He feels that he should at least try all possible solutions before making a conclusion.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Hua is a very good girl. She has been with me for a long time. I will take her with me in the future."

"Will you explain it the same way when you see Sakura?"

"..."

When they meet again, with a girl by his side, what will Yaezakura think of him? Shen Yunie has never really thought about this, and can't imagine the scene of the reunion in his mind.

How will the witch treat me then, and how has she been living in the past two years?

He said: "No matter how angry Sister Ying is, she will never abandon us."

……

Hua stopped at the sixth floor. A vague figure could be seen standing at the edge of the far floor. His skin seemed to be metallic gray, and he was wearing a hooded windbreaker, almost blending into the night. He already had an answer to who would appear here.

Gray Snake also noticed it. He turned around. Under his hat was a pointed mask, revealing only a deep, glowing red eyeball. His face looked very much like a snake. There was no place for a mouth on the mask. He said with a smile, "My young guest is here, but it seems that the reward is not set, right?"

The Houkai energy was released outward, making the air thick. Hua stepped forward, ready for the reward. From the surface, it was clear that the ability of the Herrscher was far beyond the cognition of ordinary people. It could be explained by science, but the real Herrscher's ability was not so scientific.

The girl's Honkai energy has sealed off the entire area, and Gray Snake cannot escape unless he has extremely strong Honkai energy to break it violently. One of the most basic powers of the Herrscher, but Hua herself does not think so, she just thinks it is an ability that Fu Hua should have.

"Your information is accurate enough. I will give you a reward. I am a person who keeps my promises." Hua said to him calmly. The girl suppressed her liveliness and looked serious and earnest. "But it seems that you and I are almost unprepared."

"We should all be honest." After being exposed, Gray Snake let out a series of low laughs from under his mask and began to back away.

Hua then understood Shen Yunie's plan. Two people who were too smart could not cooperate. Even if he really had information about Kiana, Gray Snake was not going to give it to anyone. It might be that he was seeking benefits from it himself or the World Snake behind him. The information transaction was just to find a fool to make extra money.

It’s just that Gray Snake underestimated these two people.

The back hit the barrier-like object, and the gray snake paused for a few seconds, then suddenly pulled out the gun from his waist and fired. All of them were deep energy bullets, enough to bombard and kill the Honkai beast.

Hua looked at the bullets and started to rush towards them. Her target was the gray snake hiding behind. Hua, who had already turned this place into her own little world, didn't care about the tiny energy. The collapsed energy surrounding her skin surface automatically bounced it away.

The energy dissipated from his body like a stream of water, but Gray Snake kept pulling the trigger until the barrel of the gun turned red.

The moment when the gun could no longer fire bullets was also the moment when Hua was completely close to Gray Snake. The girl stood in front of him, with no trace of friction on her clothes. She reached out and grabbed Gray Snake's shoulder, "You lose."

It doesn't matter if the gray snake doesn't say anything, Hua has the ability to read the other party's memory. The red collapse energy spread from the girl's palm, and instantly wrapped the gray snake's body like a flame. The sticky air dropped red fragments. She didn't say anything else, and directly began to read the other party's memory.

Gray Snake's voice showed some surprise, "Herrserker? I underestimated you."

He did not resist any more and allowed the flames to surround his body.

Hearing Gray Snake's words, Hua frowned, "I'm not a Herrscher."

The ability was released in the other person's brain, and she began to try to read the memories contained therein.

Gray Snake's voice was a little amused, "I never look down on anyone."

Hua's expression gradually began to solidify. The only human part of the modified gray snake was his brain, which was also the key to reading the memory. The girl could not take the robot's memory. When the gray snake's memory appeared in front of her eyes, what appeared was a sharp and piercing cry and a black and white TV with snowflakes flashing.

Just like the viruses in the computer, there are viruses in the human brain. Hua couldn't imagine that the other party had such defensive measures.

The girl's face turned paler. The Honkai energy had completely enveloped the gray snake. He stood there quietly, the only light in his eyes beginning to dim. "Although I never thought I would meet the Herrscher, my defense is always against the Herrscher. Remember not to read other people's memories easily next time."

When the light in his eyes disappeared, the gray snake made no more sound, and fell backwards, hitting the invisible wall and sliding down. Hua grabbed the corner of his clothes, but felt like a puppet. After taking off the windbreaker on the other party, he realized that the person standing here to negotiate with him was just a robot.

"Alas." Hua sighed, without showing any disappointment on her pretty face. After all, if Gray Snake was caught so easily, he wouldn't have become the person with the most information in the underground black market in such a short time.

Hua stood at the edge of the building, the breeze blew up the corners of her clothes, her eyes fell on the dark and low buildings, the girl slowly closed her eyes, the surrounding collapse energy was gradually put away, she said helplessly: "Shen Yunie, it's up to you next."

On the street, Shen Yunie has started running. After possessing the Honkai energy, he can communicate with Hua through the Honkai energy. He can detect the Honkai energy in the air, which means that the girl really saw the gray snake and her action has failed.

Feeling heat from his palm, Shen Yunie clenched it tightly, and the collapse energy took the shape of a straight spear in his hand.

The one who was able to escape from the hands of the Herrscher might not be Gray Snake himself, but he was hiding in a corner, manipulating a mechanical body identical to his own.

Running on this street, Shen Yunie and Liya looked at every corner without leaving any room. This search method was too immature but also the most practical. The poor area had been thoroughly analyzed by them. There was no underground passage here. Even the sewer was only two meters high and could not accommodate a cyborg.

Even if the gray snake broke itself into parts, it would not be able to leave here in a short time.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Yunie returned to the road where he had helped the woman. Several thugs were still in the same state as when they were knocked down. Hua's blow was neither too light nor too heavy, allowing them to sleep on the side of the road for a night.

He subconsciously wanted to pass by a few people, and hesitated for a few seconds when his eyes fell on one of the thugs. He was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt, had bright yellow hair, and colorful tattoos on both arms. He was lying near the entrance of the alley, half of his body lying on the side of the road, looking unconscious.

Shen Yunie remembered that this gangster was among the people who robbed women, and he was kicked unconscious by Hua.

There was a subtle breath in the air that was barely perceptible. Shen Yunie could not detect it, but Leah could keenly sense it. "That person has Honkai energy in his body!"

Shen Yunie stabbed the straight spear straight towards the gangster's chest. The gangster, who had fainted in the prone position almost instantly, suddenly got up and jumped backwards to avoid the attack range of the straight spear.

The face was hidden in the darkness, and after a moment, it reappeared in front of Shen Yunie, but it was already wearing a mask. Gray Snake's hiding was almost perfect, but the opponent he faced was not only the Herrscher, but also Shen Yunie, who had two souls.

Gray Snake's voice was rarely surprised. "How did you find it?"

He had been fully prepared from the beginning, and had expected his opponent to be a Honkai user with A-rank strength or even stronger. Unexpectedly, the girl was a Herrscher, and the young man in front of him found him without any problems.

"I used the mechanical virus to get rid of that Herrscher, but I didn't expect you to find me."

Shen Yunie's eyes darkened as he spoke, and he swung the sharp tip of his spear fiercely, chopping off Gray Snake's right arm without any defense. There was no blood gushing out, and there were various circuits under that layer of human skin. "I need news about Kiana."

111. Revenge and Trade

Shen Yunie had promised Hua that if she was hurt by the gray snake, she would return the hurt in equal measure. Now cutting off a mechanical arm was almost the same.

He began to prepare to talk business, and the straight spear moved towards the gray snake's neck again, "We will reward you, so tell the news."

Gray Snake looked down at the empty part of his arm and said, "You are really a businessman who keeps his promises, but aren't you afraid that I will abandon this body as well?"

"It looks like that won't happen." Shen Yunie looked at his mask, "Otherwise you should have been abandoned long ago. Your transformation is very extensive, and there may even be metal in your brain. It's like a robot that stores memories, so if you abandon this body, I will take your brain for inspection.

After all, I haven't paid you yet, so you can't make any profit. Why don't you run away now?"

Gray Snake fell silent and stopped talking. He had already lost the upper hand in the negotiation. He looked at the calm young man in front of him curiously. It was a strange face. There were few men in the world of collapse, but almost every one of them had done great things, whether good or bad. Obviously, the young man in front of him was one of them.

Gray Snake was not ready to make trouble with the young man in front of him. He said frankly: "I lost. Take the information about the Herrscher of the Void."

He raised his remaining hand, and there was a small metal ball in his palm. After being pressed, the metal ball became a small projection device, which showed the images taken from the surveillance camera.

The image shows a busy street. In the dead of night, a girl wearing a peaked cap appears in the surveillance video. She hides her face and hair very well, but what she can't hide are the few strands of silver hair falling from her temples. She looks around and immediately walks down the stairs to the side after making sure there is no one around.

The angle of the picture changes at this time. The girl walks up the stairs. The wide open space is full of robot guards. In the distance, there are four words on the side of the magnificent building: Shencheng Pharmaceutical. A large area of ​​the territory belongs to this company. The girl comes to the platform. She stares at the robots cautiously and deliberately avoids the surveillance and the robots' sight.

She avoided all surveillance cameras in Shencheng Medicine, but she never thought there were surveillance cameras on the streets. The picture became blurry, but it was far from over. The same picture began to repeat, with the girl walking up the stairs and disappearing among the robots.

"As you can see, the Herrscher of the Void tries to sneak into Shencheng Medical every two to three days. Shencheng Medical's defense is extremely tight, and the robot system is equipped with a function to kill intruders. However, she still refuses to give up. She obviously wants to get something or information.

The deadline for this video was a week ago, and today was the day she sneaked in.”

Shen Yunie no longer had the same aggressive aura as before, but he did not retract his spear. "Shencheng Medicine and World Snake have a secret connection, and you are a member of World Snake. Did you send out those robots that are a combination of spiders and humans?"

"You mean the Weaver?" Gray Snake's tone was a little long, as if he was confused. After a moment, he smiled softly, "World Snake is indeed connected with Shencheng Medicine. It is a subsidiary of World Snake. We also cooperate with Tianming privately. It was not me who sent the robot, but someone else in our organization. I can tell you that her name is Jackal.

World Snake never requires its members to cooperate, so we all do our own things and our relationship is not very good."

Shen Yunie asked for the last time: "Your cooperation with Tianming?"

"I'm sorry, this machine doesn't store any relevant information. Keeping customers' information confidential is our service tenet. If you don't believe me, you can take this mechanical head away. Just remember to add an extra portion of compensation for the mechanical body to your reward."

Shen Yunie took back the spear. There was no need for him to embarrass Gray Snake. He had more important things to do next. He went to Shencheng Medical. Looking at the profit-oriented robot in front of him, he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to him. "The one million fee will be paid to this card. As for your hand, I will not compensate you. Remember not to use the mechanical virus on others next time."

Maybe we will have another deal, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation next time."

Gray Snake looked down at the card, his mask expressionless, as if he was in a daze. After a long while, he smiled and took it, "You actually cut the reward by 500 times. Is this considered as spiritual compensation for that girl? You really care about her. I hope there will be no next cooperation."

After getting the information, it is possible to kill someone. When Gray Snake couldn't beat Shen Yunie, he felt that the young man in front of him didn't have too strong Honkai energy, but that kind of indifference and indifference made him feel that he couldn't touch it. In short, Gray Snake didn't want to provoke this guy, and the other party was willing to pay him to remember it. This is a person who keeps his promises.

"I wish you a happy life in the future~"

The gray snake retreated into a dead end, its figure completely hidden in the darkness. Shen Yunie stared at the darkness, unable to find any trace of Honkai energy, and the other party completely disappeared from his sight.

"Kiana is in Shencheng Medical." Leia repeated the most useful information from before. She would not urge Shen Yunie, but she was worried about her daughter's condition from the bottom of her heart.

Shen Yunie was about to speak when the ringing of his cell phone in his pocket stopped his thoughts. He took it out and answered it. Hua's unhappy voice soon came from the other side.

"Did you catch the gray snake?"

"He's been caught. I've already got the news and I've even cut off one of his hands."

Downstairs of the unfinished building, Hua rubbed his eyes and was stunned by his shocking words, "Why did you chop off his hand? Aren't you being disobedient?"

Shen Yunie smiled helplessly, "Didn't I tell you that I would retaliate against him if he attacked you? He affected your spirit, so I cut off his hand. Is your head feeling better now?"

Hua recalled it slowly and still found it unbelievable. The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, "You are really..." terrible.

Then she heard the last question and rubbed her eyes hard while thinking. The girl's skin was delicate and swollen after a few rubs. Her tone became weaker, "Not very good, do you want to come pick me up?"

Shen Yunie couldn't tell if the girl had any problems, so he should go pick her up now, but he had more important things to do. He turned and started jogging towards the end of the street, comforting her in a gentle tone, "Then go back and rest. I'm going to Shencheng Medical now, and I'll bring you snacks when I go back later, and I'll bring Kiana back with me."

The degree of danger of Shencheng Pharmaceutical can be seen from the number of guard robots outside.

Hua stopped what she was doing, she was a little discouraged, and said, "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

"But you're not in good spirits. Go back and rest. I'll be fine."

"Okay, I'm fine now..."

……

Shencheng Pharmaceuticals is very large. In addition to the office area, there is also an industrial area. They are mainly engaged in the sale and research and development of various drugs, and the capital links are extremely large. There are several intricate layers below the underground. This company is not only engaged in drug research and development, but also in human experiments and mecha manufacturing.

There are far more robots underground than on the upper floors, and there are almost no blind spots for patrolling. The girl stood behind the wall, staring at the two mechas, and took a step forward the moment they met.

clatter--

In an instant, dozens of mechas here all turned their heads and looked at the empty ground. They did not detect any intruders but heard footsteps. After dozens of minutes, the mechas continued to operate. Kiana, who was hiding in the dark, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stretched her head out to continue searching the blind spot.

Her haggard and pale face had a serious expression. She clenched her hands and continued forward carefully and confidently.

Kiana secretly made up her mind that she must stop this group of people's plan.

If she hadn't seen a girl from the poor area being abducted by Shencheng Pharmaceutical, she wouldn't have known that such a thing happened here.

Kiana was still unsure of what the conspiracy of Shencheng Pharmaceutical was, but what she could confirm was that the plan was extremely crazy. She walked into the place that looked like a human museum, and saw with her own eyes that girls of different ages, figures, and faces were placed in containers, and their bodies were injected with Honkai energy.

Some of them grew a silicon-based shell, while others had their organs removed and replaced with prosthetics.

What frightened Kiana even more was that those people were not dead. Several girls in low dormancy levels woke up in the containers, opened their blank eyes wide, and looked terrified through the glass, wanting to knock on the glass for help.

Kiana was scared away, and after two days of rest, she chose to sneak into the industrial park here again. Those girls could not be saved. The liquid in the container could slow down the spread of the collapse, and rescuing them would accelerate their death.

The reason she came here again was to know the plan of Shencheng Pharmaceutical and to stop them. Kiana felt uneasy, as if she did nothing, more people would die soon.

She didn't care what kind of identity or how ridiculous the things she did were. She felt so bad to see someone die because of the experiment. She was a monster, but she didn't want to see others become monsters.

Using the subtle Houkai energy, Kiana's body was extremely resilient, and she could pass through paths that normal humans could not walk on. In front of her was the elevator leading to the deepest underground. The girl breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took the elevator down.

The girl slowly clenched her hands on her chest. She looked up and saw a small surveillance camera pointed at her, flashing a red light. She had been discovered.

Kiana stared at the surveillance camera, swung the nail in her pocket and said coldly: "No matter what crazy plan you have, it will not succeed!"

The sound rang out, and the surveillance became blurry. The two women who had been watching the surveillance in the dark silently looked away. When they noticed the intruder, they were already at the last elevator, and sending out guards was useless.

The woman with short grey hair, clothes like crow feathers, and a good figure said coldly: "I will kill her."

112. Kiana, long time no see?

In the deepest part of Shencheng Medical, the elevator leads to a small underground metal room. Outside the thick metal walls around it is solid soil and stone. The elevator has been stopped, and this place has completely become an inescapable cage.

In the center, several tables and computer equipment were all cut neatly apart. Two figures shuttled around the huge glass cabin, constantly colliding and retreating. Crow feathers were scattered, with black flames at the tips, and everything they touched began to burn.

A feather easily cut through the armor on the girl's shoulder, and the fair skin underneath was burned black in an instant. Kiana stumbled back two steps, and suddenly her legs became weak and she fell to the ground on one knee. In addition to being sharp and burning, those feathers also carried an anesthetic that made her body weak.

The swift attack left her breathless. Facing such an experienced mercenary, Kiana had an extremely difficult time.

After finally gaining some distance and being able to catch their breath, the woman named Raven in the distance suddenly raised the strange-looking gun in her hand and pulled the trigger without even aiming.

Dark blue twisted energy rushed out, continuously branching out lightning in the air. Kiana's eyes shrank suddenly, and she immediately rolled to avoid it. The bullet hit behind her, exploding like a cannonball, and the ground was covered with lightning. They spread along Kiana's back, giving her a splitting headache and blurry vision.

The lips couldn't help but let out a painful sound, "Ah!"

The opponent is not only extremely powerful, but also has the Key of God in his hand, which was made by the Herrscher of Thunder of the previous civilization. Destiny did not record it, deliberately covering up the fact that after the Second Collapse, Mei's Conquest Gem was modified into the Herrscher of the previous civilization, and now it exists in Kiana's body.

Compared to Raven, who was well-armed and had an advantage in the field, Kiana only had a metal baseball bat full of bullet holes. She refused to use the power of the Herrscher, and Sirin fell into a deep sleep. Now no one would compete with her for the dominance of power.

Kiana still refused to use it. She had used those powers to destroy many people. She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and was afraid of those powers.

Relying on her own basic strength, she was barely able to deal with the ravens, but as time went on, there were more and more crow feathers on the ground, and she was beginning to be unable to cope.

Raven straightened the crow mask and said in a cold voice, "Just surrender. That way you will die more painfully."

The divine key in his hand, named Seven Thunders of Purification, began to accumulate energy again. The dense crow feathers began to move under control, and all the attacks were ready to be launched, forcing Kiana into a dead end.
