Chapter 127

It should still work, right?

The skill level of the doctors on the Hyperion.

I wonder how it goes~

Chapter 153 From the Heart

This place is full of strange things for the Honkai members who are new to it.

There is also unease.

"This place really makes me feel uncomfortable." Redhead pulled his clothes tighter.

There was a bone-chilling cold here.

But the place looked lush and green, with no sign of autumn or winter. Even the breath exhaled didn't produce a single puff of white vapor.

But it was so cold that it made people feel uncomfortable.

"Aren't you cold?" Redhead looked around.

It seems like he's the only one who's feeling a bit too cold.

"It's alright," Mei said. "I don't feel very cold."

To be precise, I did feel a slight chill, rather than not feeling cold at all. However, compared to the feeling of marching in the snow, it felt like the Redhead soldiers were trying to wrap themselves up like dumplings.

Mei only felt the chill of early spring.

She stopped looking at the Redhead man and focused her attention on the person walking at the front of the line.

From this moment on, she acknowledged Siegfried's earlier suspicions. Her mother had indeed passed away, and the woman she had once seen was right before her eyes.

Although she vehemently denied it, Mei herself found it very strange.

But that taste... it tastes like mom's cooking.

Mei will never forget it.

The flavor that only a mother can make could not possibly appear in the hands of a complete stranger. It's quite bizarre, and the logic behind it doesn't seem to make sense.

When his mother passed away, Kiana's mother also passed away, but the time of his mother's death and the time of Kiana's mother's death did not match.

How could it happen to the same person?

Mei didn't understand, but this reality didn't offer anyone a logical explanation.

It only tells you.

That's how it all happened, in such a bizarre way.

And that was it.

"Mom..." Mei wanted to call out that word so badly, but she couldn't quite get it out.

On one hand, the person who used to be her mother didn't want her to call her that; on the other hand, this was self-contradictory and illogical, which made Mei feel a little awkward.

"Li... Mei... Cessie..."

Mei was hesitant and conflicted. How should she address this person? She thought for a long time but couldn't seem to find a suitable word.

"You can call me Kallen now."

"Kallen said."

'I feel like we've made things more chaotic in the attempt to avoid chaos.'

Previously, each character was addressed by their assigned name, although they didn't actively suggest it. This seemed to prevent confusion, but now it appears to have become even more chaotic.

"Well, if you don't want to," Kallen added, "Call me whatever you like."

"In any case, you can't call her 'Mom'!"

She's not even married yet! And people keep calling her "Mom," "Mom"! Isn't that awful?!

"Kallen- senpai," Mei decided to call her that for now.

Are we just going to leave like this?

"Is there a problem?" Kallen asked in return.

"It feels like a spring outing," Mei said, frowning slightly. "There's no real combat experience whatsoever..."

Mei's comment made Kallen realize that their group did seem more like they were out having fun than running a dungeon... well, to be precise, dungeon runners were much more disciplined than they were.

At least players who run dungeons know that they shouldn't wander around in dungeons before clearing out all the monsters.

But...

This team doesn't seem to have any awareness of this.

Kiana and Rosaliya were the most outstanding performers.

They seemed to have completely turned this place into a playground. While you wouldn't say they were having a blast, they were definitely running around everywhere. Running forward, running backward, running left, running right.

They seem to have inexhaustible energy, just like two huskies.

Well, at least these two are better than huskies.

They won't let go.

They are still within the scope of the team to some extent.

Liliya didn't seem to intend to follow, nor did Bronya. However, both of them seemed somewhat eager to try. As for Himeko, she had given up and wasn't really planning to bother with the two of them anymore.

As for Siegfried, he didn't seem to have any intention of forming a team at all.

That Redhead guy.

In reality, he had little control over the Valkyrie, even though he initially didn't intend to give up on treatment. But now he's followed in Himeko's footsteps.

Well, it seems that no new enemies have appeared since the first wave of attacks.

You might encounter strange humanoid figures or ferocious-looking beasts along the way.

I have a feeling that a major battle is definitely going to happen.

They were completely ignored!

This trip to the secret realm really felt like a vacation!

"It's alright," Kallen said. "Being nervous won't help."

Honestly, Kallen didn't have anything particularly to say about Rosaliya and Liliya, who were now disorganized, undisciplined, and seemed very carefree.

Because she didn't expect these two people to play any significant role.

As long as they can make sure they survive, that's enough.

As for the rest~

"I feel," Kallen said, "That I'm the one who needs to be nervous the most."

It's hard to say for sure, but Kallen has a vague feeling that she's being targeted! If any monsters appear, she'll be the one being targeted...

"Oh?! What's that?"

Rosaliya scrambled to the top of a tree, seemingly unsure of what to do next.

Kallen didn't ask, guessing it was just for fun.

She quickly climbed to the top of the tree and saw a plume of smoke rising in the distance.

"What? What!" Kiana shouted from under the tree, "What did you see? Rosaliya!"

Seemingly sharing similar personalities, and having confirmed they weren't enemies, the two quickly formed a small team and began wandering around the area together.

"It seems... it seems..."

Rosaliya stared intently at the plume of smoke.

"It looks like Honkai Beast has come."

Honkai Beast!

The atmosphere froze the moment Rosaliya spoke.

Honkai Beast don't appear randomly; their appearance signifies the arrival of Honkai Beast! And everyone here, except for Mei, Kiana, and of course Li Pu, has witnessed Honkai Beast and Honkai!

For Rosaliya, those terrifying memories flooded back instantly.

Even if one gains extraordinary power.

However, one's state of mind is not so easily changed.

"Rosaliya?!"

From a distance Kallen noticed Rosaliya's strange behavior as she climbed the tree. She noticed that Rosaliya seemed to be frozen there, like a statue, without any movement.

Based on previous experience observing her actions, Rosaliya should have jumped down from the tree by now.

Yes, that's jumping!

Having absorbed Apsaras's genes makes her so willful; she dares to jump off even trees that are four or five meters tall.

Something's wrong!

Redhead also noticed the billowing dust ahead.

'This person is up to no good!'

"Major Himeko! Siegfried, prepare for battle!" the Redhead man shouted. "Mei, Bronya, and Liliya, go help Kiana and Rosaliya escape as quickly as possible."

"Comrade Kallen!"

"I don't need you to say anything," Kallen muttered, somewhat dissatisfied.

But I feel like I underestimated this guy a bit before.

He reacted quickly; he had already made some simple arrangements as soon as he saw the smoke and dust.

"Alright, it looks like there are quite a few of them." The Redhead didn't say anything more because of Kallen's attitude. He was more concerned about the cloud of dust and said, "If we can't handle it, take Rosaliya with us and fight our way back."

"Don't fight head-on!"

"Aren't you going to join us?" Kallen asked, glancing at the Redhead.

"Do I look like I'm a good fighter?" the Redhead said honestly. "I can't beat Honkai Beast."

Fight if you can win, back down if you can't. This isn't about showing heroism by always drawing your sword against every enemy. It's about having capable subordinates and still stubbornly pushing your way in.

That's called an idiot.

Redhead immediately backed down.

Rosaliya immediately backed down.

She doesn't yet have the strong heart, perseverance, and courage to face all of this, especially when facing the Honkai Beast surging into the sea for the first time.

Rosaliya was scared.

When she came to her senses, Mei, Bronya, and Liliya had already arrived under the tree.

Meanwhile, Himeko and Siegfried had already crossed the tree and continued forward.

"Rosaliya!" Mei shouted, "Hurry up and get ready for battle!"

Fighting? It seemed like she needed to fight, but she had no weapons. And she probably didn't even have the courage yet; her legs felt weak, and she cautiously began to climb down the tree branches.

But she hadn't yet adjusted to the sudden transformation from a tourist destination to a battlefield.

My legs were so weak that I couldn't hold on tight anymore.

He stepped down and missed the mark, and fell from the tree.

'It's over!' Rosaliya suddenly felt a little desperate. Although she was physically strong, she wasn't afraid of jumping from such a height.

But those were all under control; this time, there was absolutely no preparation whatsoever.

Rosaliya felt a sense of despair; all she could feel were the branches relentlessly slicing through her body. She was like a stone, crashing heavily to the ground.

I couldn't think; my mind was completely blank, and I couldn't even see anything clearly.

The only echo in my mind was, "I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
