Bronya's Mother? / Momma Duck's Real Name?

Although I wouldn't refuse it, since the taste is quite good.

Of course, Cheng Lixue would occasionally help, but only occasionally, since Cheng Lixue was S-rank Valkyrie and usually had training missions!

"Captain, we have urgent intelligence!"

Suddenly, a holographic image popped up in front of Ling Xi's eyes; it was sent from the bridge command room!

"What's up?"

Ling Xi also looked over.

"Honkai Energy reaction has been detected in Tok City, about 30 kilometers ahead!"

The observer immediately provided an analysis. "Based on preliminary judgment, the Honkai Energy is approximately 300 HW, and the highest level of Honkai Beast that can be born is approximately the Chariot-class!"

As he spoke, the observer unfolded a map of Tok City, a small city with a population of less than 100,000, which had almost no industry other than mining and natural resources!

"Honkai?"

Ling Xi was slightly surprised, because Honkai usually occurs in high-entropy cities, but how could Honkai happen in such a Honkai place as Siberia, especially in a small city?

"Captain, what should we do?"

The observer said, "We only have a security force on board our warship, not Valkyrie force, so my suggestion is to wait for the support force dispatched by headquarters to arrive!"

Because this warship was specially arranged by Amber for Ling Xi, and was originally intended to take Ling Xi to Anti-Entropy, it was not equipped with a corresponding Valkyrie force, but only a force of less than twenty ordinary soldiers. Facing this level of Honkai, it would basically be a suicide mission!

So the observer's suggestion was actually very correct, after all... she didn't know Ling Xi's true identity!

Chapter 656 Bronya's Mother?

"This..."

Hearing the observer's suggestion, Ling Xi thought about it for a moment. If she had Valkyrie squad, she would definitely send them down to help. However... she was all alone right now!

"Captain, headquarters has sent an order!"

At this point, the observer spoke again, saying, "Headquarters' intention is for us to make our own decision. The fastest Valkyrie unit will arrive in half an hour!"

"Half an hour later..."

Ling Xi was speechless. Given the size of this small city, who knew how many people would die in half an hour...

"Phew... Oh well, I'll just treat it as a way to stretch my muscles."

Ling Xi took a deep breath and made her decision, saying, "Head to Tok City, then the warships will stand by in the air, and I will personally go to destroy the Honkai!"

"Eh... Captain?"

The observer seemed a little confused because... she didn't know Ling Xi's true strength. To be precise, apart from the Schicksal faction's farewell party and some high-ranking members of Anti-Entropy, no one knew Ling Xi's strength!

"Do as I say!"

Ling Xi didn't offer any further explanation, she simply gave the order!

"Yes, Captain!"

Alright, seeing that Ling Xi had said so, the observer didn't say anything more and decisively carried out Ling Xi's order!

Actually, Ling Xi didn't want to meddle, since Honkai could happen at any time, and this world had Schicksal and Anti-Entropy to handle it, but...

Having come through the Honkai myself, and having experienced Honkai, I understand all too well the despair one feels when facing overwhelming power, so...

Since I've already run into them, I might as well take care of them. They're just a bunch of cannon Honkai Beast anyway!

Soon, the warship arrived above Tok City, and Ling Xi saw the Honkai Beast destroying the city in the footage, as well as some Dead Servants Honkai by Honkai, but there were even more corpses!

"Whoosh..."

Ling Xi activated the power of the Space Core and instantly arrived above the Honkai swarm!

"Subspace Spear!"

Ling Xi snapped his fingers, instantly summoning dozens of golden spears that pierced through the Honkai Beast below.

"Lightning!"

Then, Ling Xi released another bolt of electricity, instantly turning dozens of Honkai Beast into ashes.

After all, they are all very weak Honkai Beast, mostly of the Assault-class and Knight-class, with the occasional Chariot-class or Ballista-class appearing, but in front of them, they are just cannon fodder.

Back then, when I faced a Chariot-class enemy, I almost exhausted all my strength to barely destroy it, but now...

"Here... burn to ashes!"

Ling Xi unleashed a massive firebird, annihilating a Chariot-class Honkai Beast along with hundreds of Knight-class and Assault-class Honkai Beast in front of him!

However, he didn't have time to deal with the wounded and the Dishi. After all, he had only eliminated the swarms of Honkai Beast, but there were still some scattered Honkai Beast around the city, so he was in a hurry!

"Wow, is the captain that amazing?"

On the warship, the entire crew was watching the battle below, and almost everyone was stunned!

Although they had guessed that Ling Xi might engage in a fierce battle with the Honkai Beast when Ling Xi went down, the captain managed to hold on for half an hour, waiting for reinforcements to arrive!

But... this is not what we agreed on!

These Honkai Beast are nothing but cannon fodder in front of their own captain!

"Run! A monster is coming!"

Honkai Beast still exist in the city, and a refugee camp was attacked by Honkai Beast, causing chaos in the entire camp as everyone scattered and fled!

"Aaaaah..."

In the Seed of Chaos, a pregnant woman was pushed to the ground by the crowd. Everyone was trying to escape, and no one dared to stop and help her. Unfortunately, Knight-class Honkai Beast arrived and stabbed her directly with its spear...

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and the Knight-class Honkai Beast was sent flying as if it had been hit by an invisible wall!

Ling Xi then landed on the ground and waved her right hand, shouting "Lightning!"

Instantly, a flash of blue electricity appeared, and the several Honkai Beasts in front were instantly vaporized!

"Phew, that should be about right!"

After eliminating the Honkai Beast in this area, Ling Xi checked the real-time map transmitted from the warship. Most of the Honkai Beast in the city had been wiped out, with the remaining ones hidden in blind spots of surveillance or areas difficult for instruments to detect. Therefore...

Ling Xi decided to call it a day, since the Valkyrie squad was about to arrive.

Therefore, Ling Xi prepared to use spatial powers to return to the warship...

"Thank you for saving me..."

Suddenly, a weak voice came from behind Ling Xi. It was the pregnant woman that Ling Xi had just rescued.

"It's safe here now."

As Ling Xi spoke, she turned around and said, "The Valkyrie forces of Schicksal will arrive soon, but there's a possibility that there are still some scattered Honkai Beast around, so you can find a place to hide first... pfft"

Just as Ling Xi was about to tell the other person to find a place to hide so she could slip away, Ling Xi noticed the other person's appearance...

White skin, gray hair, and a double helix hairstyle... That's right, this is a background character who appeared in the comics, Bronya's mother!

There's no mistake, her project and Bronya's project aren't exactly the same, but they're basically nine-tenths similar!

"What's wrong?"

The pregnant woman was also a little curious when she saw Ling Xi suddenly staring at her.

"Your husband..."

Ling Xi asked quietly, "Are they from the military?"

Unfortunately, Ling Xi had forgotten his father-in-law's name. After all, when he read the comic, the colonel only appeared for half a chapter before he died, and he hadn't remembered his name!

"Yes..."

Bronya's mother didn't dare to lie to Ling Xi, and nodded gently, saying, "My name is Ksenia, and my husband is Alexei, a colonel in the military, but he passed away a month ago..."

"Really..."

Although Ling Xi had forgotten his father-in-law's name, he almost remembered it after hearing it; it seemed to be Alexei...

"Have you been living in a refugee camp all this time? This place... seems terrible!"

Ling Xi glanced at the refugee camp, which was practically a tent-like structure, and was speechless. She was a military family member, and pregnant at that, yet she was placed here like this!

"Yes..."

Ksenia nodded slightly, looking somewhat dejected. "It's... terrible here. I... lack food, clothing, medicine... and... warmth!"

Ling Xi silently observed the other woman. Although her skin was white, it had an unhealthy, deathly pallor, seemingly caused by malnutrition. After all, in such a chaotic time, it was indeed difficult for her, being alone and pregnant...

No wonder Bronya lost her mother after birth. To be honest, it's already a blessing that Bronya was able to be born successfully under such circumstances!

If the story continues as it is, then... Bronya will be born in August, then Ksenia will die, and finally Bronya will be adopted by the military and trained to be an assassin, until she goes to the Kolylya Orphanage twelve years later...

Of course, this is... the original storyline!

Chapter 657 The Duck Mother's Real Name?

Looking at the Duckling's mother in front of her, Ling Xi was also silently pondering, because...

To be honest, after what happened with Sirin, Ling Xi didn't really want to disrupt history, because the consequences would be severe, but...

If I didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that I've already encountered it, if I still choose to remain aloof...

If I do this, how could I possibly feel no guilt when facing Bronya in the future?

I don't want Bronya to go through all that suffering again just to make her a character in my memories. This time... Bronya, you won't lose your mother!

Ling Xi immediately made a decision...

"Ksenia..."

Ling Xi looked at the other person seriously and said, "I am from the Schicksal Headquarters. Your current situation is not optimistic, so I hope you can come back to Schicksal with me. I will arrange for someone to take care of you there. After all, your current situation is a bit special. If you stay here... I think you will not be able to survive."

Ling Xi thought that after she asked, the other party would agree immediately, but...

To Ling Xi's surprise, the other party did not agree immediately, but hesitated. After all, her husband was a member of the military, so he was also considered half Schicksal member of the Schicksal. Moreover, she knew more or less about some of the dark secrets of the Destiny organization!

Moreover, she knew she had no value whatsoever; her only value might be her body—specifically, a human body needed for certain experiments.

She hesitated.

Ling Xi "..."

Looking at the other person's expression, Ling Xi could more or less guess what they were thinking, but Ling Xi couldn't explain it. After all, if she dared to deny it, Sirin would be the first to object.

"Don't worry, I just have a slight connection with your husband."

In the end, Ling Xi could only rely on his father-in-law's name again, saying, "Let's go. Do you think you can escape if I wanted to harm you?"

Ksenia: "..." That seems to make sense...

Soon, the warship hovered above Ling Xi, and Ling Xi, carrying Mother Duck, returned to the warship through a spatial wormhole...

"Captain!"

As soon as Ling Xi returned to the warship, everyone saluted Ling Xi, their eyes filled with deep respect and admiration. There was no way around it; Ling Xi's combat power was simply too astonishing. To put it bluntly, even the Lady Cecilia back then probably wouldn't have had it so easy!

"Everyone, disperse. Get ready to head back to headquarters. Oh, right!"

Ling Xi added, "This is Ksenia, the wife of an old friend of mine. She's estimated to become a mother in four or five months. Please arrange for her to get a checkup and also get some suitable food for her."

"Yes, Captain!"

The crew members immediately nodded to indicate that they understood, and then began to perform their duties according to Ling Xi's instructions!

"Mmm..."

Ling Xi returned to her rest room, feeling that... her exercise level was still a bit low. There was no way around it; these Honkai Beasts were just too weak!

You have to understand, Previous Era, what kind of Honkai Beast were they fighting? At the very least, Honkai Emperor, and they encountered Emperor-class Honkai Beast very often. As for Judgment-class Honkai Beasts, they encountered them almost every time Herrscher was born. And now?

What kind of monsters are you making me fight? A bunch of weak Honkai Beast! They don't have the ability, you know?

"Captain!"

Suddenly, a female adjutant knocked on the door!
