Volume 1: Chapter 71: A Baby Killer Whale Falls from the Sky
🕑 Added 2025-05-17 15:17:44 +0000 UTCKiana Kaslana received a request from Skadi——
She subconsciously wanted to click it.
Then the white-haired ball recalled the consequences of his previous attempts to invite Skadi over.
It seems that every time I invite Skadi over, I will be knocked unconscious by a beautiful girl falling from the sky.
“……”
Kiana looked up and touched her chin, looking as if she was thinking.
"I'll go outside and look downwind to see if there are any survivors."
The white-haired ball came up with a good idea.
Find an open space with a good view, then come over to Lascati.
This way you won’t be knocked unconscious by the other party!
With her reaction speed, she will definitely be able to leave the place before Skadi falls!
Well, if Skadi comes here again by falling from the sky this time.
"……survivor?"
Mei Raiden doubts whether there are any survivors in Nagazora City.
After the so-called collapse occurs, ordinary people who cannot adapt will be eroded by the collapse energy, and either turn into zombies or directly turn into a pool of dead mud.
and--
There are also unknown terrifying monsters active in Nagazora City.
That was something more terrifying than those pale corpses.
"Aren't you afraid of being dragged away by the thing following us?"
The eldest lady shook her head.
"Just be careful!"
Kiana Kaslana said there was no problem.
As long as Skadi arrives, everything will be fine!
Wouldn't it be easy for her and Skadi to take down Raiden Mei?
"…Well, good luck to you. I'll be waiting for you here."
Mei Raiden lay on the sofa, feeling somewhat tired.
After running for so long, even though she had received kendo training and had good physical fitness, she felt tired at the moment.
The little goblin disappeared.
Although Zerg should not be a simple person, because of his harmless appearance, Mei Raiden is always worried about him.
However, even though she was worried about the child's condition, the girl needed to rest first so that she could be in good condition to face the next action.
“……”
Leaving the temporary hiding place, Kiana Kaslana chose an open place.
She raised her head and looked above herself.
I will definitely not be knocked unconscious by Skadi this time!
"Skadi, show yourself!"
…………
Nagazora City.
Somewhere in a hotel.
The red-haired mature woman gently wiped the weapon in her hand——
A fire axe.
After she came back from recuperation in Europe, she immediately rushed to Nagazora City.
As a result, just after I settled down and slept for a night... the collapse broke out.
Because there were no professional instruments around, Murata Himeko had no idea how big the scale of this collapse was.
But judging from the dead silence in Nagazora City—
Maybe it could even lead to the Herrscher's great collapse.
But before that, Theresa didn't send her any alerts.
It was as if the collapse happened suddenly.
"Huh...I've wasted my rest this time."
The body that had just recovered became uncomfortable again due to the erosion of Honkai energy.
But as a Valkyrie, she didn't care.
After eating a little, she picked up a telescope and carefully stretched it out of the window.
"What on earth is that?"
In the field of view of the telescope, a purple balloon is floating in the air.
It was holding a newspaper and drinking hot tea.
Murata Himeko had never seen such a strange creature.
Because of its style——
It's the same as the Homu series of comics that Theresa often sneaks a peek at.
The number of monsters around is also pitifully small.
Considering the scale of the collapse that affected the entire Nagazora City, it should have spawned a large number of collapse monsters.
But until now——
The monsters the woman encountered were all zombies transformed from the guests in the hotel.
There were unusually few monsters wandering around outside the hotel, considering that there was a large residential area nearby.
Putting down the telescope, Murata Himeko changed the window to observe the situation outside.
“……”
After changing to a special periscope, Murata Himeko carefully held her breath and observed the situation outside.
"Where on earth do they come from?"
A zombie wandering the street came into view.
But that's not the point.
The key point is that several small purple creatures crawled out from the hole in the ground.
The zombie felt the breath of life, and then it roared -
“Crack!”
The sound stopped abruptly.
The shattered limbs were held in the mouths of the tiny purple creatures, which then jumped into a nearby cave.
The reason why Murata Himeko is still trapped here is because of these little guys.
There are holes that look like they were dug out near the hotel.
Once those purple little guys sense something walking on the ground, they will come out, tear it into pieces and drag it back.
The species that come out are not limited to these cute little guys with wings, there are also those that look like enlarged cockroaches, or those with long and thin bodies.
A Honkai beast had appeared nearby before.
He must have sensed her life breath and chased after her.
As a result, after entering this area, he was dragged into the underground cave.
She came here lightly this time, bringing only some firearms for self-defense, and did not even bring her commonly used broadsword.
Facing a cockroach whose defense even Honkai Beast can't penetrate...Murata Himeko knows her own limitations.
Her gun should be tickling the other person.
Before being equipped with the experimental model of Valkyrie armor—
Her body was not resistant to acid and bites.
"Theresa, when can you send someone over..."
The woman leaned against the wall.
Otherwise she would have to stay here for several days.
The running water has been cut off, and so has the electricity.
Murata Himeko was afraid that by the time Theresa found her, she would have become an extremely sloppy woman.
That's too embarrassing.
I picked up the telescope and looked up at the sky again.
“？”
There's a balloon that seems to be turning into a human?
Murata Himeko was horrified to see two legs extending from under the balloon.
“……”
She adjusted the power of the telescope.
A pair of legs that resembled a woman appeared beneath a purple balloon.
The purple balloon opened its eyes wide, as if it was in some pain.
It made a gesture of exertion.
Murata Himeko subconsciously held her breath.
A girl with white hair and red eyes was born... by a balloon.
“？？？”
She put down the telescope and wiped her eyes.
The woman was confused.
She picked up the telescope again.
Balloon looked like she had just given birth and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her tentacles.
And the girl with white hair and red eyes is falling.
Before her figure was hidden by the building—
She seemed to shift her gaze over here.
“……”
Murata Himeko immediately packed up her things and moved to another room in the hotel with the supplies.
"Theresa, if you don't come, I'm afraid I'll die here without knowing why!"
…………
"Where's Skadi?"
Kiana Kaslana stood in the open space.
After agreeing to Skadi's invitation, she didn't see any figure.
This is true even if you open your eyes wide and look upwards.
"Didn't it fall from the sky this time?"
The white-haired ball thought.
She gave up looking up and began to observe her surroundings.
"Skadi, are you here?"
Kiana Kaslana shouted.
There was no sound in response.
“That’s strange.”
The white-haired ball scratched the back of her head.
But there seemed to be a strange sound coming from above...
It was like something was falling.
Kiana Kaslana looked up.
What came into view was a familiar beautiful girl who fell from the sky.
The figure in the pupil grew bigger and bigger. The white-haired girl opened her mouth in fear, wanting to say something, but -
"boom!"
A big hole appeared on the ground.
“……”
Skadi looked down at the white fur ball at her feet.
The other person's face sank into the ground.
Its body was shaking.
According to the judgment of the battle-hardened deep-sea hunters—
She is still alive.
Compared to last time, Kiana's physical fitness seems to have improved a lot.
Otherwise, the force of his fall from the sky would be enough to crush a sea urchin directly.
Picking up the fainted white-haired ball, Skadi looked at the unconscious face and thought for a few seconds -
"Kiana, Zerg has someone he likes."
"That person is not you."
The Deep Sea Hunter said so.
“Who is it!”
Sitting up in shock from his dying illness!
Kiana Kaslana, resurrected!
"It must be this lady that Zerg likes!"
The white-haired ball announced subconsciously.
“……”
Then what came into her eyes was the indifferent Skadi.
Kiana Kaslana's face suddenly turned red.
"Ahahaha, what a nice weather today, Skadi."
She looked up at the sky directly above her and saw clouds blocking the sunlight.
The area nearby is densely packed with high-rise residential buildings, and the sky elsewhere cannot be seen.
"What's going on here, Kiana?"
Skadi frowned slightly.
She sensed some energy in the air.
It is energy that can be directly absorbed by the body.
And there seemed to be some familiar atmosphere around.
The further away you go, the more of these auras there are.
If nothing unexpected happens -
The Zerg that follow Zerg's orders are also here.
"This is where the great collapse that my stinky dad once told me about must have happened!"
Kiana said so.
"I don't know exactly what the Great Collapse is, but Skadi, you just need to know that we need to fight our way out."
The white-haired ball twirled the pistol in his hand.
"Gah."
At this time, a small purple creature crawled out of the big hole in the ground.
It just seems to be stuck.
He pushed the ground with his legs hard, trying to pull his head out.
"Huh?"
Kiana helps it out of the darkness and it turns out to be Broken Tooth.
"Why are you here, Broken Tooth? Did Zerg ask you to come and follow me?"
The white-haired ball held the tiny springtail high in the air.
"Gah."
Broken Tooth has a silly and cute expression on his face.
"By the way, Broken Tooth, help me keep an eye on the back later."
"I suspect something is following me."
Kiana said so.
She still remembered that there was some unknown horror following her and Raiden Mei from behind.
“Gah!”
The springtail stuck out its tongue and licked the white-haired ball's face.
Then--
More tiny springtails popped up nearby.
They quickly dispersed and ran into the nearby area, as if following Broken Tooth's orders.
“……”
Where did so many springtails come from?
The white-haired ball looked at them in shock.
Wait a minute——
Have these Zerglings been following her and Raiden Mei?
Kiana Kaslana thought of something.
"hiss."
That unknown horrible monster...can actually avoid the attention of so many small creatures!
It's so horrible that she has to find it out, otherwise she won't be able to sleep well anymore!
And we have to get rid of it before we meet up with Zerg!
