🕑 Added 2025-05-19 15:22:18 +0000 UTC“…”
The mature woman and the little child looked at each other.
Murata Himeko fell into silence.
If I read it correctly——
The honest creature that just came out of the ground spewed out a large amount of stuff.
Well, those were the little guys she had seen before, mixed with some big cockroaches and long, thin worms.
And if I'm not mistaken, this child seemed to have been sprayed out as well, right?
The red-haired woman's eyes twitched slightly.
From a rational point of view, we should abandon this child and run away directly -
But what to do since he's so cute and harmless?
If I have children in the future, they will definitely be cute children like this.
"Shh, eat something first."
Murata Himeko noticed that the little child wanted to speak.
She glanced at the melee in the distance—
It's mainly a fight between the little guys and the Honkai beasts.
In order to avoid being noticed...mainly to comfort herself, Murata Himeko picked up a chocolate bar and stuffed it into the mouth of the child in her arms, blocking his words.
"Sister will take you away from here."
Well, this child's appearance doesn't fit in with those little guys.
After all, he is in human form, and those little guys are not.
Maybe it was a human that was captured by the little guys.
Murata Himeko convinced herself in this way.
"Leave here?"
After swallowing the chocolate bar in his mouth, Zerg blinked his eyes.
Why do you want to leave here?
“…”
Eat so fast!
Murata Himeko was stunned.
"Put him down."
A cold voice sounded.
The gray-haired girl who was sprayed out noticed that someone was trying to sneak away Zerg, and the righteous Bronya Zaychik naturally couldn't sit idly by.
Rather, those who can survive the Great Collapse are not simple people.
Bronya stared at the red-haired woman.
The heavily armored bunny appeared behind her, its gun pointed at the other party.
“This is a warning.”
She said so.
"...Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those little guys?"
Upon hearing this, Murata Himeko looked towards the battlefield not far away with some nervousness.
One of the Honkai beasts had already fallen down wailing, and was then dragged into the mouth of that honest creature by several giant cockroaches.
"They won't hurt me, but you won't."
Bronya said calmly.
At least she could survive if she took action——
If the Zerglings were allowed to attack, the enemy would probably be split into many pieces.
Murata Himeko looked at the gray-haired girl who did not hide her intentions at all, and those purple little guys did not attack her.
Well, there is an old saying in China -
He who knows the times is a hero.
"I surrender."
The red-haired woman first put down the little child in her arms, and then she raised her hands decisively.
“A wise decision.”
The reloaded bunny lowered the muzzle.
Bronya opened her arms.
"Zerg, come here. Stay away from that weird aunt."
She said.
“…”
Murata Himeko took a deep breath.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Stay calm.
The other party is just a little girl.
You are already a mature woman, how could you get angry when someone calls you a weird aunt?
“Crack.”
There was a sound that seemed to be a fist clenched tightly.
"Little girl, you don't even want to call me sister."
Although she is almost thirty years old, she is not yet an aunt, right?
“…”
Bronya Zaychik looked the mature woman up and down.
elder sister?
This woman is at least twenty-five years old.
There's nothing wrong with calling her auntie.
She is only in her teens now, much younger than the other person.
"Zerg, come here quickly."
The little child still stood beside the red-haired woman with her hands raised.
"Well...she has food on her!"
The eyes of the Swarm Master were sparkling.
Although it is just a drop in the bucket to fill the stomach, but even the smallest amount of food is still food!
Zerg chose to contribute all the huge amount of energy he absorbed at one time to the development of the Zerg.
But this kind of snack...it's okay for him to eat a little secretly!
“…”
Bronya was silent.
Whoever gives you milk is your mother.
She touched her body.
Nothing at all.
Before following Zerg, there were only a few high-energy bars in the rental house.
She had eaten it all.
This is to facilitate subsequent actions.
But now——
"Oh, little girl, there's nothing I can do if this kid likes me so much."
Murata Himeko slowly put down her hands.
She opened the backpack behind her.
Fortunately, when the hotel was collapsed by the Honkai Beast, I was still holding on to this backpack full of supplies.
"Here, Zerg, there's food in there, just take whatever you want."
The red-haired woman said generously.
It’s free anyway, no money required.
She should be safe now.
Although the gray-haired girl looked aggressive when she first appeared, she no longer showed much hostility.
And according to the performance of those purple guys——
If nothing unexpected happens, she should be safe.
Looking at the small purple creature running past her feet, Murata Himeko tensed her body.
The red-haired woman breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the other party did not attack.
When I get back, I must brag to Theresa about my experience in Nagazora City.
Snort... Theresa would definitely express her disbelief, and then take out the photo with body temperature and throw it in the other person's face.
Murata Himeko could already imagine the little nun's stunned scene.
“Ouch!”
The red-haired woman just wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and then she saw the little child pick up a backpack full of supplies -
Then he swallowed it in one gulp.
"?"
Did I see it right?
Murata Himeko blinked.
The next thing I saw was a little kid with a happy expression on his face.
As for her backpack filled with supplies…
It's as if it never existed.
"Well, is it really okay for him to eat like this?"
The red-haired woman looked at the gray-haired girl and asked.
"Bronya once saw Zerg chewing through the metal pole of a street lamp."
Bronya said calmly.
“…”
It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover.
Murata Himeko was silent.
If I had regarded this little child as an enemy from the beginning...
An authentic human feast?
The red-haired woman shuddered.
If he could bite off the metal pole of a street lamp, then it should not be difficult for him to bite her bones.
"Who are you?"
Bronya Zaychik asked bluntly.
"Belonging to the Far East Branch of the Destiny——A-rank Valkyrie Murata Himeko."
The red-haired woman revealed her identity without hiding anything.
“…”
Why does the Valkyrie of Destiny appear here?
Logically speaking, they should have arrived here after the collapse, not before it happened.
The girl was stunned.
Could it be that he had noticed Cocolia's mother's plan?
No no no, impossible.
If he had really noticed it, he would not have seen the large Honkai energy generator guarded by anti-entropy mechanical soldiers.
When you follow Zerg, you will definitely see the device that was captured and guarded by the Valkyrie of Destiny.
So, we are here to retrieve Zerg...
No.
Destiny's technology cannot produce such strange creatures and Zerg.
Bronya Zaychik overturned her initial judgment.
That is a creature that can decompose and absorb Honkai energy while still alive.
Since Destiny has this technology, why does he still need to study Valkyrie?
"After leaving Nagazora City, will you come with me?"
At this moment, Murata Himeko touched the little child's head.
She invited.
"Will there be food?"
Zerg asked innocently.
"Of course."
St. Freya's Academy shouldn't be unable to support a small child, right?
The Valkyrie thought so.
…………
“A-choo!”
The little white-haired nun sneezed.
In an instant, she felt a chill.
I have a feeling that St. Freya Academy is going to go bankrupt.
"Still can't contact Himeko?"
Theresa shook her head, shaking off the absurd premonition.
She asked nervously and worriedly.
After leaving the Destiny headquarters, Murata Himeko went directly to Nagazora City to investigate the abnormal Honkai energy fluctuations that were previously monitored.
As a result, just one day after the other party arrived in Nagazora City, a major collapse broke out in Nagazora City.
According to the detected Honkai energy readings, it is enough to directly give birth to the Great Honkai that will produce the Herrscher.
This made Theresa very worried.
Murata Himeko acts with swift and decisive action.
She was supposed to set off for Nagazora City with the Valkyries from St. Freya Academy.
However, the major herself said that she would take the lead and investigate the situation.
As a result, we are now in direct danger.
"Still can't contact Major Himeko!"
At this moment in the command room of the Destiny Battleship, the Hyperion, the crew of the battleship answered.
“…”
Theresa bit her fingers unconsciously.
I should have stopped Himeko at that time!
Now, she took the lead and rushed directly into the scene of the collapse.
And according to the feedback from the Destiny headquarters—
When Himeko Murata left the headquarters of Destiny, she only brought some Honkai-energy firearms to target the death squads, and no other weapons.
Those Honkai-energy firearms are good for dealing with dead soldiers, but they are of little use against Honkai beasts.
As for dealing with the Herrscher—
It's almost like tickling.
The strong Honkai energy blocked the connection between Nagazora City and the outside world.
Fortunately, the satellite above Nagazora City is still usable——
But no one could be found among the ruins.
Moreover, the satellite saw some incomprehensible images.
In parts of Nagazora City, a strange purple color began to spread.
However, due to the satellite's orbital position and accuracy, Theresa is currently unable to know the true appearance of the purple.
"How long will it take us to reach Nagazora City?"
Since the captain of the Hyperion had brought himself into the scene of the Great Collapse, Theresa took over the command of the Hyperion and went into battle herself.
To do this, she brought all her guys along.
"It is expected to arrive in Nagazora City in twenty minutes!"
Theresa heard this answer.
"Himeko, you have to be okay!"
She prayed that her friend would be able to hold on until she arrived.
…………
In a ruin in Nagazora City.
"Big cockroach, hit that Honkai beast!"
The red-haired woman stood on a high place, watching the fight below.
At this moment, a giant cockroach was fighting with a crossbow-level Honkai beast.
"roar!"
The crossbow-level Honkai beast curled up its body into a ball and rolled towards the giant cockroach in front of it.
"Guwaa!"
The giant cockroach, covered in a heavy carapace, stood still.
It lowered its head and stuck out the two horns on its head.
"boom!"
The huge Honkai beast collided with a giant cockroach that was much smaller than it.
However--
Instead of knocking the opponent down, he was pushed back.
The big cockroach pushed hard and the crossbow-level Honkai beast was knocked over directly.
"here you go!"
Murata Himeko waved her fist vigorously.
This most primitive physical collision is what real women should see!
“…”
Bronya Zaychik was a little confused.
Why did this woman named Murata Himeko fit in so quickly?
"Mmmm."
A purple balloon floated down and handed the red-haired woman a cup of hot tea.
"call……"
Murata Himeko took the hot tea, took a sip, and lubricated her throat which was a little hoarse from shouting.
"Thank you."
She said so.
"Mmmm."
The purple balloon waved its tentacles to indicate you're welcome.
Although at the beginning... when observing these purple creatures up close, as a doctor, Murata Himeko felt that the edifice of science almost collapsed.
Fortunately, she joined Destiny and witnessed a lot of incomprehensible black technologies.
So these creatures... probably have some biological black technology that she can't analyze.
So the red-haired woman was soon relieved.
"hiss……"
At this moment, the fight below had new developments.
The big cockroach vomited out several globs of green sticky liquid.
Then the shell of the crossbow-class Honkai beast began to melt.
It made a painful sound.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
The creature that Zerg called Hydralisk began to applaud, as if celebrating the victory in advance.
"roar!"
Then the crossbow-level Honkai beast suddenly turned over and quickly dug out a large stone with its broken body.
"Big cockroach, be careful!"
Murata Himeko opened her eyes slightly.
The stones thrown out by the crossbow-level Honkai beast are quite powerful.
It's easy to bring down a building!
“Boom!”
A huge rock was thrown out and hit the big cockroach on the head.
“…”
The Valkyrie saw that the big cockroach just shook its head and then recovered.
Is this defensive power a bit exaggerated?
A rock that big didn't even break the horns on its head.
Just make the corners slightly crooked.
"Guwaa!"
The big cockroach looked very angry, and then it spat out a dozen globs of green saliva, completely covering the crossbow-level Honkai beast and completely ending its life.
The little ones around seemed to be making celebratory noises.
Some hydralisks even started to do hip-hop dance.
"Okay, that's it!"
Murata Himeko also joined in.
"Guwaa!"
The big cockroach burrowed into the ground, and after a few seconds, it came out again, with the horns on its head returning to their original position.
Then——
The little kid ran over and hit it hard on the head.
The body of the gigantic crossbow-class Honkai beast had been corroded by acid and had shrunk by at least half.
This is a huge waste!
The giant cockroach that had previously killed the Honkai Beast alone stood timidly in front of the Overlord, not daring to move.
Because he was hit on the head with a stone, he was so angry that he spit.
It should physically decompose the opponent so as not to destroy usable resources.
“…”
Well, the little child seems to be the leader of this group of little guys.
Although it is hard to imagine, it is true.
Murata Himeko felt that a certain white-haired nun was about to collapse——
It's time to go! Theresa, is the budget for St. Freya Academy enough?
