Chapter 47, The Third Collapse
Chapter 47, The Third Collapse
Qiong fully supports Kiana's investigation of Raiden Mei. Giving this energetic girl, who is more energetic than a husky, some tasks is not a bad thing.
The only problem is that this leaves him with nothing to do.
Nowadays, playing games is impossible. Although Lao Yang's phone looks like a touchscreen phone, its actual functions are extremely limited. Right now, it's just a brick that looks a bit more advanced. Come to think of it, it's only 2014. Do phones even have built-in app stores? Can you download anything?
Since there's nothing else to do, let's go out for a stroll. Last time I came to Changkong City, I didn't get to visit the famous Changkong Wall. Feeling bored, Qiong decided to explore the Changkong Wall and deal with other things later.
Walking along the road, Qiong strolled slowly toward the center of Changkong City, where Changkong Wall was located.
"There aren't many people..."
Come to think of it, today is Monday, March 17, 2014. It's just an ordinary workday, so naturally there aren't many people coming to play, but you can still see a few people.
Watching those people posing for photos, Qiong also took out her phone—this phone still had the basic function of taking pictures, and the image quality was definitely higher than that of an Apple phone.
Qiong, who was raising her phone to take a picture, suddenly paused.
Wait a minute, was the person in front of me like that just now?
"Ah! Your face!"
"My dear, my hand!"
Through the lens, Qiong clearly saw that in the blink of an eye, several people were covered in purple patterns, and then vanished into thin air; the skin of several other people suddenly turned from normal Asian yellow skin to purple like a sweet potato skin, and then one of them turned pale white two seconds later...
Right now, apart from him, there is no one else in this huge photo-taking area.
Perhaps there are still ordinary people in other places who have not yet been completely corrupted, but even if they do not turn into zombies and assassins for the time being, they will still have to face the pursuit of zombies and assassins.
"This, ugh..."
Forcing herself not to look at the distorted humanoid figures and the zombies that had suddenly become unrecognizable, Qiong suppressed the churning in her stomach and prevented herself from vomiting up her breakfast.
Before this, the most disgusting thing he had ever seen was the purple-skinned thug who got his head blown off by Kiana, but the zombies in front of him were even more disgusting than that purple-skinned thug. Those zombies even had distorted facial features...
Reason told Qiong to leave immediately. He might not be able to defeat these monsters without a weapon, but the trembling in his body made his legs feel like lead, making it difficult to move an inch.
Perhaps because the Honkai had just broken out, the zombies and assassins had not yet fully transformed and evolved. Even though Sora retched for a while, the still roaring monsters only approached him at a snail's pace, but this speed of approach obviously could not threaten Sora who had reacted.
Grit your teeth and run for your lives!
Boom!
From the location of the Sky Wall, Qiong could clearly see Qianyu Academy, as well as the lightning that struck Qianyu Academy.
On March 17, 2014, the third Honkai outbreak occurred.
According to the standard time provided by Walter Young, it should be March 28, 2014.
Due to the butterfly effect, Honkai Impact 3rd was released eleven days ahead of schedule.
---------
Kiana easily infiltrated Chiba Academy using her Chiba Academy uniform. However, before she could even begin her investigation, almost everyone around her turned into a zombie…
"Honkai? How could this be?"
Kiana believes that the source of the Honkai energy in Changkong City should be Asakura Miyuki and the Three-Year Sakura she possesses. Now that the Three-Year Sakura has been confiscated and Asakura Miyuki herself is receiving treatment in Schicksal, where did this Honkai energy come from?
Perhaps because Chiba Academy is a noble girls' school, unlike the cases of annihilation and zombies that Sora encountered, most of the students at Chiba Academy did not turn to ashes but instead quickly transformed into Honkai creations that were even more troublesome than zombies: Death Warriors.
"Has Mei become a suicide soldier too? No, I have to go check!"
The assassins naturally ignored the girl who was still talking to herself and pounced on her.
"Get out of my way!"
Kiana pulled a pistol from her pocket and fired a shot that blew her head off.
However, a single headshot from one assassin couldn't stop the horde of assassins surging forward from behind. Even with Kiana's superhuman strength and wielding of firearms, ammunition eventually runs out, leaving her with no choice but to engage in hand-to-hand combat…
"You bunch of assassins, get out of my way! Don't block my way from seeing Mei!"
Kiana fought her way through the horde of assassins and rushed into the school building, trying to find the person she longed to see.
"Mei, Mei! Can you hear me? It's Kiana!"
Kiana ran towards the classroom while firing her gun, frantically emptying her magazine and taking down countless assassins along the way. However, when she finally reached the classroom, she found it empty. Raiden Mei was nowhere to be seen, the desks and chairs were overturned and partially reduced to dust, the windows were shattered, and there were no assassins, only corpses.
Kiana's heart sank. She anxiously searched everywhere for Raiden Mei, but fortunately or unfortunately, Raiden Mei was not one of these people.
The person she longed for turned everything around her to dust the moment he opened Pandora's box.
When Raiden Mei opened her eyes again, she could feel that her power should not have been so weak, and that her control over her body should have been overwhelmingly superior to that sleeping coward, but none of that was true.
He himself, an apostle of God, was pitifully weak, as fragile as a premature human infant.
Stepping out of the classroom, which was devoid of both corpses and assassins, the Herrscher of Thunder looked at the corridor filled with assassins and felt a sense of boredom.
Let's go up to the rooftop and take a look. That coward seemed to have considered jumping off, but in the end he didn't.

"Chicken-feather hair, something terrible has happened! A collapse has occurred in Changkong City!"
"It actually happened?!"
Even someone as composed as Einstein was surprised by this.
Tesla and Einstein, although they unconditionally carried out Walter's request to relocate the residents of Changkong City and keep an eye on Raiden Mei, and even personally met with Raiden Mei, unfortunately the latter was too wary and refused further assistance.
However, regarding the outbreak of Honkai, after repeatedly testing the Honkai energy index of Changkong City, both doctors believed that there were no conditions for a major Honkai to break out, but it still happened.
Therefore, the relocation of residents has not been particularly fast. If they trusted the leader more, could more people be saved?
"We don't have time to delay Dr. Tesla, let's get the manpower arranged immediately."
"I'll arrange it right away. Honestly, I have to make things clear with Ashim later. What kind of nonsense is it to leave things half-said and half-hidden!"
