Collapse, I Will Take You to Fight!

Zeke's pupils shrank, and a bad speculation cast a shadow over his already anxious state of mind.

"Icarus, can you establish contact with the manor now?"

"Mylord, at the current speed, you can enter the effective coverage area of ​​the manor's signal tower in 1 minute and 43 seconds."

"Get me through the communication of the manor as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mylord."

Chapter 28 Ruins

"Mylord, after entering the effective communication range, I have received 13 missed communication requests from the manor, and the last one was dialed 1 minutes ago. Calling the manor communication channel... Connected."

Qi Ke calmed down and asked directly:

"Is that you, Robbins? What's going on in town?"

"Boss...Finally...Finally connected, come back...help...Vera..."

The sound was choppy, accompanied by dying gasps and occasional coughing up blood.

Not good, worst situation.

"20, no, I'll be there in 17 minutes, you go to the basement first, it's the most defensive place."

"Already... already in the basement... Boss, Vera, please..."

During the communication, there was no sound, even Robbins' subtle breathing disappeared.

Zeke's teeth clenched slightly, then suppressed his tone, and said coldly:

"Icarus, link the manor host data, I want to know what happened after I left."

"Yes, Mylord."

Then a series of images emerge in Zeke's glasses:

First of all, although Zeke didn't have time to make it clear, Robbins felt that the situation was unusual, so he used the ability of the Icarus host in the manor to pull in an armed force.

Common sense, this is correct, even Icarus considers it a very reasonable suggestion.

However, the collapse cannot be inferred from common sense.

Robbins didn't know the fact that Icarus also ignored this thing because of the weak associative thinking ability of mechanical thinking - that is, under the right conditions, the infected person will become a zombie-like monster after death. The body can even become a dead man equivalent to the Honkai Beast.

Then, Honkai Beast attacked the city.

It seems that the Honkai Beast was born in the snow-capped mountains and a diversion occurred. One wave went to Wulu Town, and another wave directly attacked Yodel City, and there may be other diversions that are not yet known.

In short, some Honkai Beasts attacked the front of the manor.

At first, the powerful firepower of the manor defeated the attack, and after a brief panic, the troops quickly restored order under the comfort of Robbins, and actively joined the fortifications.

Sufficient defensive strength has repelled the attacks of the three Honkai beasts in succession, probably because of this, more Honkai beasts kept gathering.

With the accumulation of Honkai beast corpses, the recorded data of the host of the manor can clearly see the gradual increase in the concentration of Honkai energy until it breaks a certain limit.

After that, there were infections and deaths in the troops.

At this stage, the situation is not too bad. Icarus began to use some immature technologies to gradually suppress the concentration of Honkai energy in the manor.If the situation continues like this, with the firepower reserved by the manor, it will not be a problem to persist for most of the day.

However, among the dead corpses, a dead man was born, a dead man whose level should not be too low.

She ruthlessly strangled her former comrades in arms, and also tore a hole in the indestructible defense of the manor from the relatively weak interior.

What happens next can be imagined without elaboration.

All in all, the latest synchronized data shows that the manor's remaining firepower is only 7%, and the ground buildings are almost completely destroyed.Robbins and Vera's father and daughter entered the basement to hide under the guidance of Icarus, but this last safe area has also collapsed at this moment.

Monitoring equipment, microphones, infrared and other observation equipment have all failed. At this moment, even the host of the manor who is close at hand does not know what the condition of the basement is. That's all.

"Damn!"

On Qi Ke's forehead, the blue veins that floated were beating.

Why didn't he consider the garrison inside the manor?Why didn't Robbins make such a decision?Why didn't you tell Robbins about the characteristics of Honkai in advance?Why is Icarus so lacking in associative thinking ability - too many whys, which eventually led to the fall of the manor, making Zeke feel like an idiot.

"calm!"

"Maybe it's still too late..."

"At least, save Vera."

Zeke convinced himself so, forcing himself to remain calm and continue to rush back to the manor at full speed.

……

In 17 minutes, as Zeke expected the fastest speed, neither one minute earlier nor one minute later, he arrived at the manor, and there was only ruins in front of him.

"Mylord, I'm sorry, Icarus failed to defend the manor."

There was an intermittent, not very clear electronic sound coming from the ruins. It was the Icarus system on the manor's mainframe, reporting to Zeke with the sound equipment that was nearly scrapped.

Zeke didn't reply.

He hugged Kiana, searched among the ruins, and found the entrance to the basement.

The simple exoskeleton he wears gives him the ability to clear blockages in the entrance.

Then he hugged Qiyana and walked down with a little vigilance.

Some lights are flickering, but the main light source is still stable, and the collapsed basement is not as dark as expected.

Zeke saw a lot of equipment that was no longer usable, but those losses could not attract his attention at this time.

Because he saw Robbins' body.

His abdomen was pierced by steel bars, and his skin was as gray as paper. That was evidence of Houkai's erosion. Therefore, he died of excessive bleeding and Houkai's erosion.

Putting Kiana gently next to him, Zeke came to Robbins, squatted down, and moved his body slightly.

Beneath him is the unconscious Vera.

There were hardly any wounds on Vera's body, but her hands were abnormally gray and white, and the strange pink lines covered the small half of her face - Zeke grabbed his heart suddenly, and it took several seconds before the Calm your expression back.

It doesn't matter, I'm still alive, as long as I'm still alive, there is still hope - Zeke told himself this, and carefully hugged Vera.

……

Cunning Rabbit has three litters, and Zeke naturally has preparations outside the manor.

He left the manor and came to his backup base - the underground of an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

However, it has been less than a month since Zeke conquered Robbins and officially started researching and climbing the technology tree.In such a hurry, it is not easy to manage a manor well, so there are basically only various materials in the backup base, which is far less convenient than a manor.

But the manor facilities have been completely destroyed, and the scene of the corpses of Honkai beasts is too conspicuous, and the organization that blocked the signal in the area is more likely to be destiny, Zeke is not in the mood to deal with Otto for the time being, and can only leave first.

Save people, wake up Kiana and Vera, this is the only thing he wants to do now.

……

Kiana woke up at night.

"Um……"

She opened her eyes with difficulty, feeling her throat burning.

"water……"

Then the cool liquid was poured into the throat, which relieved most of the discomfort.

"Qi...k?"

"it's me."

"here is?"

"Alternate base."

In Zeke's faint voice, there was a tiredness that Kiana had not felt for a long time.

Kiana blinked hard to make her vision clear, and then saw Zeke busy on the table, as if debugging some potion.

Next to it, on the other bed, Vera lay there quietly, her face was covered with peach-colored glowing lines, and her small body hardly saw the ups and downs of breathing.

"Vera!"

Kiana wanted to sit up, but her body failed to follow the instructions of her brain, and then she noticed her weakness and the intense pain all over her body.

"hiss……"

Kiana took a deep breath and asked tremblingly:

"Vera... what happened to Vera?"

"Honkai can erode, I'm trying to save her. Also, take care of yourself, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine! Save Vera first!"

Kiana shouted excitedly.

Zeke's back seemed to stop, and then suddenly stooped down.

"I'm trying...but...it doesn't work...I can't..."

Zeke slumped down on the chair, reached out and stroked Vera's cold forehead.

The gentle and sensible little girl in the past is now as quiet as a lifeless doll, only frowning and telling that she is suffering.

Tears fell from Kiana's eyes.

"What's the point of not being able to do it! Don't make fun of it at a time like this! Zeke, cheer up, you can definitely do it! Vera, Vera is still so young, she can't just die like this, Zeke!"

Kiana cried, trying to get up and touch Zeke and Vera, but as a result of her efforts, she fell off the bed, and the ubiquitous pain felt a little more intense.

"Zick!"

Kiana ignored her body's protest and tried to crawl over to Vera's bedside.

Chapter 29 Dangerous Decisions

Perhaps awakened by Kiana's actions, Zeke's empty eyes fluctuated.

He came over, hugged Kiana, and the two came to Vera's bed together.

Kiana held Vera's hand tremblingly, and when she saw the pale complexion, tears flowed freely.

"It's all... it's all my fault... If I... go back to report sooner..."
