Chapter 427 Mobius's Mother

"Bronya! Seele! We're back!"

"Idiot! Keep your voice down!"

In fact, there's no need to be so nervous. The rainstorm in the sky keeps falling, and the dark clouds show no sign of dispersing. This is good. The sound of the rain can not only cover up most of the sounds, but also wash away the overly obvious smells. The dark clouds make the vision dark. Although I don't know how the dead soldiers perceive the enemy, it will have some effect when the vision, hearing, and smell are affected.

The only thing that is a bit uncomfortable is that when walking in the rainstorm, while being soaked, the rain curtain seems to be mixed with a trace of purple, which makes people feel numb when it falls on people, and even their actions and thoughts are a bit slow.

Kiana pulled Meiyi into the small corner surrounded by grass and trees next to the playground. The grass and trees here are about the height of a person. Seele hung a small piece of rainproof cloth on the branches to support a rest area. Bronya's eyes passed Kiana, and stayed on Meiyi who was distracted for a moment, and then snatched the pistol from Kiana.

"Seele..."

"Understood!"

Before she finished speaking, Seele understood what she meant and immediately pulled out a box of bullets from her schoolbag.

Kiana then reacted, laughed dryly twice, and handed the four magazines back to Bronya.

Bronya checked and found that there were still two bullets in the magazine of the pistol, one in the chamber, and the other four magazines were all empty. Just a little bit, Kiana and Meiyi would stay in that building.

She sighed, suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"Where are the other two magazines?"

Kiana blinked, pursed her lips, turned her head and looked around, then bit her lip and said slowly:

"Lost... lost..."

Bronya covered her forehead in pain.

"Forty-one."

She muttered silently.

In fact, the difference is not that big. In this place where hundreds of dead men can appear in any building, and there are a lot of Honkai beasts on the road, the difference between 41 and 57 is not that big.

Having said that, she still couldn't swallow this breath - it's all because of the stupid Kiana!

"Click-click-click-"

Seele has been consciously loading bullets into the magazine. The technique is much more skillful than at the beginning. Bronya thought about it and handed all the magazines to her.

"Stupid Kiana, is Mei sister okay?"

"Ah... It's okay now."

Now, it's okay.

Bronya glanced at Mei, who kept her head down and occasionally glanced around nervously. If it weren't for Kiana pulling her hard, she might have to stand outside in the rain.

What happened?

Bronya was not completely ignorant of some things because of Cocolia's reminder, but she also knew that now was not the time to waste time. No one in Changkong City knew what would happen in the next second. The possibility of a dozens-meter-high Honkai beast falling from the sky and crushing them to death was by no means 100%, but it was definitely not zero percent.

"By the way, Bronya, you said you would contact Uncle Mikael before. What did he say?"

"Brother Mikael went to rescue Sister Mei's father. Aunt Mobius will come to pick us up. Calculating the time, it should be here soon."

"Why did you suddenly call Uncle Mikael 'brother'?"

Bronya's mouth twitched. She didn't know herself. Maybe she heard Seele call her so many times that she said it fluently. Well, it must be like this.

Of course, this was just an insignificant episode. Bronya's attention was always on Mei, but even if she emphasized the words "Sister Mei's father", Mei did not show any excitement, let alone take the initiative to ask.

Bronya didn't think this was a good thing. She looked around and saw a few dead men wandering around the playground. They probably ran out of the building when chasing Kiana, but they were far away and posed no threat. Even so, it was impossible to rush out from the front.

Beyond the railing behind her was a wide street. There was not much traffic on the street at the time of the incident, and the number of dead men was not small, but if they wanted to break through by force, they could at least handle it. Some dead men were still locked in the car and didn't know how to get out. But the problem was that there were not only dead men on the street, but also a large group of mosquito-like Honkai beasts that were taller than humans and shaped like mosquitoes running back and forth, as if looking for something. When she and Seele were waiting for Kiana before, they watched the Honkai beasts brush against the railings several times...

In this case, was it enough for Brother Mikael to send only Mobius?

Bronya was not questioning the other party's decision, but she was used to it. Even if she was just a pure follower in the mission, she was unwilling to give up thinking about the mission itself. Otherwise, the snow on her grave would probably crush her tombstone.

It's not that she didn't believe in Mikael's judgment, but if she couldn't escape death in the end, she didn't want to blame others for their choices.

But the current situation is somewhat extreme. No matter which way she chooses, Bronya doesn't think there is a chance of successful escape.

What's more, this so-called "escape" is just escaping from Qianyu Academy. How to escape from Changkong City next?

Even if you can escape from Changkong City, who can guarantee that this disaster has not spread to the entire Far East?

What if there is no escape in the end?

Bronya slapped her forehead heavily, probably because the situation she faced was so bad that a person like her who had experienced countless life and death couldn't help but think wildly.

"Kiana..."

"boom--"

A dull sound came through the heavy rain curtain, interrupting Bronya's unspoken words. They thought it was thunder, until the sound came continuously, until the ground under their feet began to tremble, until both the dirt and the cement road rolled like boiling water, a few people raised their heads belatedly. , looking at the hill rushing towards me at high speed in the distance.

Even though they were still thousands of meters apart, the fence of the academy collapsed immediately, and the originally short and dry branches of the vegetation were swinging wildly like twitching limbs. And a few people didn't even notice this, they just watched in despair as the giant beast tens of meters high rushed in front of them in just a few breaths and then...

Unexpectedly, it stopped.

Chariot Honkaimon turned its body with difficulty among the ruins. Its head, which was extremely petite compared to its body, turned slightly. It maintained this posture and stopped moving forward, as if...

"Is it looking for something?"

"Idiot! Shut up!"

"Should we... run?"

"Shut up! Can you outrun it?"

The gun flipped back and forth between Bronya's hands. The shadow cast by the twenty-meter-tall tank-level Honkai Beast was like a bottomless sea of ​​ice, making her so desperate that even her breathing almost stopped - she She didn’t know what weapons the legendary Destiny would use when facing a Honkaimon of this size, but she knew that a Tokarev pistol with an almost flat rifling and a tattered baseball bat would definitely not work.

Fortunately, the idiot Kiana interrupted her in time and brought her back to her senses. If she had been immersed in it, she would have suffocated to death.

But the idiot Kiana was right this time. Honkaimon's current look was very much like that of himself when he was a kid, rummaging through boxes for a ruble coin and wishing he could lie on the ground looking for it. However, with the body structure of a tank-level Honkaimon, it has almost no neck, so it cannot look around. Unless the two straight front legs are broken, it is impossible to bend down, so the posture looks a bit weird.

What is it looking for? Bronya glanced at Mei Yi calmly, who was trembling with his head lowered and silent... Maybe it was because of the Conquest Gem?

A small number of Honkaimon may appear due to coincidence, and a large number of humans infected as dead soldiers and small-sized Honkaimon may be caused by the leakage of Honkai energy radiation under man-made/non-man-made conditions, but the tank-class monster in front of him It was indeed the first time for Bronya to see the size of Honkaimon.

Or...is this Cocolia's plan?

If these disasters are caused by conquering gems, then why do humans chase such things? Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Cocolia also had a Silence Gem in her hand, which was handed over to Mikael during the subsequent negotiations...

"Crack!"

Bronya suddenly slapped herself hard. Suddenly, she became distracted again. What happened? The accumulation of low-level mistakes can kill people!

Well, it will kill people, so this time, she has no chance to regret or reflect - an unspeakable throbbing surged into her heart, and her eyes moved up slightly, facing the tank-level Honkai Beast pupils.

"Cheche!"

Along with a slightly disobedient cry, a large amount of Honkai energy spilled out of Honkaimon's cloudy and hollow eyes, and even solidified into something resembling a flame.

"Run!"

Bronya didn't hesitate, picked up Xi'er and Mei and ran away, leaving only Kiana's furious cry behind her:

"Didn't you just say you couldn't outrun it!!!"

"Idiot! Then you don't have to run!"

Bronya was so angry at Kiana's stupidity that she staggered after running only two steps. Fortunately, Xi'er behind her helped her in time.

"Meiyi, you..."

She looked at Mei Yi who suddenly stopped in place. The latter turned around and pushed Kiana to Bronya.

"We really can't outrun it, so I stay."

Bronya choked again.

"What are these two idiots thinking in their minds?"

She was really going crazy. As a mercenary, she can certainly accept the trick of cutting off her tail to survive, but Mei is her target of protection! How can any mission protection target take the initiative to stay behind...

Bronya really didn't know what to do. Contrary to her, Mei's heart suddenly became clear.

"You guys leave quickly!"

She shouted as she stepped step by step towards the tank-level Honkai Beast that for some reason had not moved yet. At the same time, she sank her consciousness into her heart and shouted loudly:

"The Herrscher!"

"Huh? Are you okay? Don't call me if you are okay!"

"Hmph! I just suddenly remembered something, Herrscher. Oh no, actually we both have always understood, Herrscher, if I die, you won't be able to live either!"

"What, you want to commit suicide again?"

"No, I was just wondering if I would die if I was stepped on by the monster in front of me."

"..."

"Herrscher, I don't care what happens in the future, but I am willing to give my body to you at this moment, as long as you help me kill the monster in front of me."

"Haha, do you think you have any choice after handing over your body?"

"..."

Mei Yi was silent. Of course she knew the consequences, but even if she didn't do it, she didn't have a choice, right?

"Okay, I understand. Don't resist, don't be nervous, okay, I'm coming in."

As soon as the Herrscher finished speaking, Mei found that she had lost control of her body. Almost at the same time, the sound of thunder and lightning like a thousand birds chirping rang out, followed by the sound of heavy objects collapsing.

"That's... Herrscher, did you do this?"

The monster that fell down with a loud bang was leaping with emerald green lightning arcs. Mei instinctively felt that something was wrong. Although she couldn't control her body, she was not unconscious. At least, she clearly felt that she didn't do anything.

"Is it me? It doesn't seem to be... Hey you!"

The Herrscher seemed to be stunned, but her reaction was faster and calmer than Mei's. Her doubts lasted only a moment. The next moment, the red lightning directly turned into a long sword in her hand, and she turned to look around vigilantly.

"Hehehe! Are you, looking for me?"

"What!"

A childish laugh suddenly sounded behind her, and the Herrscher immediately swung his sword backwards, but unexpectedly a tingling electric shock spread throughout his body instantly--

The Herrscher of Thunder was numbed by the electric shock again!

(Why say again?)

Before the insult of "Hersher" came out of her mouth, she was hit hard on the back of her head, and the world spun around for a while.

Mei was probably awakened by the crackling of the campfire. The sky was obviously darker, but the wind and thunder were silent, and the raindrops stopped falling. The clothes were no longer wet and clinging to her body, but dry and warm, making her nose itch.

"Hmm..."

She was confused for less than ten seconds, and her vision was still a little blurry, but she realized that she was probably indoors, and the pillow under her head was a little hard and a little cold, but it made her feel nostalgic for some reason.

"Eh? Mobius?"

"It's me, do you want to get up?"

"Yes."

Mobius held her shoulders with his slender hands, gently straightened her upper body, and then gently leaned on his shoulders.

Mei's body was a little stiff at first, but she didn't hold on for long before she leaned into Mobius' arms.

The bonfire in front of her, I don't know if it was born by Bronya or Mobius, but it definitely wasn't the stupid Kiana.

She was facing Bronya and Seele, the two hugged each other, their chests rose and fell regularly, but Bronya still held the pistol tightly in her hand.

Kiana was lying on the ground on one side, with her legs spread out, and a dusty blanket hastily covered her body. The baseball bat became a pillow, which she used behind her head.

"If you're tired, sleep a little longer. We have to travel at night."

Being held in the arms of a woman who looked much smaller than herself, with her cold little hands gently stroking her head, Mei always felt a little strange, but more of a sense of peace.

So, after a brief hesitation, she suddenly lowered her voice and asked:

"Mobius, can I ask, are you and Mikael... that kind of relationship?"

The hand that Mobius gently stroked her head stiffened for a moment, and she immediately asked back with some amusement:

"Why? At this time, you still have the mind to gossip?"

Just as Mei was about to explain, Mobius interrupted and answered:

"My relationship with him...may be a little different from what you imagined, but generally speaking...it can be considered as such."

This vague answer was a little funny and a little sad. Mei seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.

"Don't worry, we will be out soon, Mikael has also gone to save your father..."

"I know, but..."

Mei didn't finish her words, but she held Mebius' waist with more force.

"Mom Mebius..."

"Hmm? What did you call me?!"

Although the voice was as cold as ever, she also hugged Mei tighter.

"Mom Mebius, can I ask you for a favor?"
