Chapter 599
Bronya glanced at Seele, whose face was filled with shame and indignation, and realized that she couldn't rely on this lower-ranking warrior who was temporarily traveling with her. So she took a deep breath and calmly said:
"Miss Xing, if we continue like this, it will only go on forever. Now that things have come to this, don't you think you should give us an explanation?"
"The two of you combined are no match for me. Do you have the right to ask me that?"
"Miss Xing, the situation in the lower district is critical, and the upper district is not easy either. For the safety of the entire Belobog, I still have a lot to do. If you refuse to cooperate, I will not hesitate to ask a few friendly extraterrestrial visitors for help. They are highly skilled, and you are no match for them, so please consider this carefully."
Once Bronya calmed down, despite her disheveled appearance, she exuded an aura of absolute authority.
When the Trail Blazers were mentioned, Star and March 7th unconsciously straightened their heads and puffed out their chests, striking a confident and proud pose.
For the first time, Xing showed a hesitant expression, her gaze shifting to the two beautiful young girls, and said:
"What is an extraterrestrial visitor?"
"They are guests from the stars. Ever since the cold wave and monsters swallowed everything, we have been cut off from the stars, and they are interstellar visitors who have been away for seven hundred years. The situation in the upper zone is not easy either, and the Great Guardian does not have enough manpower, so he entrusted them to come to me. I think this is also the Great Guardian's recognition of their character and ability."
Bronya noticed Seele's bewildered reaction and then remembered that she hadn't introduced these three extraterrestrial visitors before, so she explained them in more detail.
Seele's expression grew increasingly bewildered. Having never been to school, she had no concept of the stars or interstellar space and became more and more confused as she listened.
Xing frowned slowly, her expression shifting between light and shadow, and unconsciously murmured:
"An extraterrestrial visitor? Not one of Belobog's people, and not part of the plan, then who exactly is Mother Cocolia...?"
"Mother Cocolia!?"
"Shut up, you idiot! I'm thinking!"
"Explain yourself! Why do you call Mother... Great Guardian Mother?"
Bronya's expression changed completely.
Traditionally, each Great Guardian should only adopt one child with the best talent to train as the next successor.
This generation is Bronya.
Having grown up alongside Cocolia, she knew perfectly well that her mother had no lovers, so it was impossible for her to have an illegitimate daughter—no, that wasn't quite right. Anne appeared to be around the same age as her, born five or six years before she was adopted. It wasn't impossible that Cocolia had become pregnant and given birth to an illegitimate daughter back then!
"Who is your father!?"
Bronya gripped the musket tightly, her expression turning utterly terrifying.
Abandoning his wife and daughter? Toying with his mother's feelings? Trampling on the dignity of the Great Guardian?
In an instant, Bronya, who loved her mother dearly, had already conjured up an image of a scumbag man who deserved to be torn to pieces.
In the name of the City Builder, we must shove that scumbag's nose with a gun!
Apricot. "..."
No, that's not how our script is written. Please stop making things up.
Xing thought to herself, but quickly regained her cold expression, then grabbed Hook by the collar and threw it at Seele.
"Big Sister?"
"Go back with them. You should go home and get some sleep."
"Oh."
After casually assigning tasks to her newly accepted apprentice, Xing turned around, tucked Clara under her arm, and said:
"When the passageways between the upper and lower levels reopen and the trains loaded with supplies arrive, come find me again. That suspicious blue-haired middleman will give you directions."
"Etc!"
A flustered Bronya reached out to stop her, but grasped at empty air and vanished from Xing's sight in an instant.
"Damn it! What on earth is going on!?"
Bronya had completely lost her former calm and determination. Her pupils trembled as she scratched her gray hair, biting her fingers and pacing in place, almost shouting and bewildered on the spot.
Xing stared blankly at the scene, then pounded her palms hard after a moment, saying with a wise look, "Bronya, your mother has an illegitimate daughter!"
March 7th suddenly realized. "Bronya, your mother has an illegitimate daughter!"
Seele, always eager for drama, exclaimed, "Bronya, your mother has a bastard daughter!"
Bronya finally broke down, tears welling in her eyes. "Are you guys just parrots?!"
She raised her musket to strike them, but no one stood still to be hit, so it quickly turned into a chaotic chase.
At the same time, Natasha stood on the dusty platform, watching truck after truck of supplies arrive with a clatter, and gradually became drenched in sweat.
"Is the lower-level area about to be unsealed?"
"Or is it that the upper district has already fallen, and this is the final gift?"
"Is something terrible about to happen?"
