Five years of collapse and three years of simulation

Chapter 531 Locals

"Go and have a look."

Qiyana had already reached the wooden bridge, and Han Jiang heard the voice, and he didn't know when Qiyana would be able to get rid of such reckless behavior.

"The water vapor in Changkong City contains a lot of Honkai energy and it doesn't erode the wood much. It seems that the construction time is not very long."

This wooden bridge couldn't keep Qiyana's curiosity. She walked along the wooden bridge to the other side, looked forward, turned and waved to Han Jiang.

"Han Jiang, come here quickly, look over there."

The terrain here is higher, and many buildings are partially exposed, and further ahead is a long empty wall composed of several buildings connected together.

The building is high and low, and the dust accumulated on the roof for many years has become soil, giving the tenacious weeds a living space.

There is an obvious man-made road on the roof, which roughly paves the floor as a slope and extends to an unknown area.

"We...how about we go and see?" Qiyana looked at Han Jiang expectantly, as if she really wanted to go and explore.

"But our task is to find the place where the special Houkai can respond. There is no indication on the map that there is a special Houkai that can respond."

Kiyana's eyeballs rolled, she couldn't blatantly disobey Ji Zi's order, but this couldn't help Kiyana's cleverness.

"Didn't you say that this road has been repaired recently, maybe there are people living in that place, can we ask the local people?"

Han Jiang looked at Qiyana speechlessly, wondering if Qiyana didn't want to think about it, or if she was really stupid, probably the former.

After such a large-scale collapse in Changkong City, the people of Destiny will arrange for the Valkyries and combat teams to evacuate the local residents.

This place is not very far from the Far East Branch. With St. Freya Academy's way of doing things, everyone can't be rescued. According to common sense, there are almost no "locals" in Changkong City.

The children adopted by Raven here are no older than 16 years old. Maybe their family members were not around when the third Honkai broke out, and they missed it with the rescue team and left them here.

After all, it is a metropolis with a population of 3000 million, and anyone who wants to stay alone can go out, which only exists under ideal circumstances.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look. If the special Houkai energy suddenly erupts over there, won't we just find it?"

Han Jiang pointed at Qiyana's head and scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who is smart."

"Then why not?" Qiyana smiled knowingly, since Han Jiang had already said that, she would definitely go and have a look.

In fact, even if Qiyana didn't say anything, Han Jiang wanted to go and have a look.

Han Jiang didn't take the matter of probing for a special Honkai explosion, he knew that the next Herrscher would not be born in Changkong City.

If Raven didn't evacuate the children, Han Jiang was also a little worried. After all, he created a tsunami. I hope the children are all right.

"Let's go!"

Walking along the traces of the road, I didn't encounter a single Honkai Beast, which meant that this place was no longer within the range of Honkai Beasts, otherwise there would be no such obvious traces.

After about 10 minutes, I saw a building that vaguely looked like a "gate", which was obviously built later.

The upper floor is a simple house, and there is a slightly narrow opening below.

"Let's go in and have a look!" Qiyana took Han Jiang's arm and walked towards the "hole".

After passing through the hole, there is a relatively wide platform. There are houses made of simple room boards around the platform, and a pile of sundries is piled up in front of each simple house.

Some of the younger children were playing together, and a few older children were sorting through the pile of useful things in the middle.

"Here... there are children!" Qiyana glanced at Han Jiang, then trotted towards the children.

Seeing two strangers coming to the residential area, the children immediately ran to the nearest room.

One child moved slowly and almost fell to the ground, but was supported by the child next to him, and the two ran back.

After returning, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the remaining few older children looked at Han Jiang and Qiyana warily.

Seeing the children flustered, Kiyana shouted: "Everyone, don't be so scared, we are fighters from the St. Freya Academy in the Far East, and we won't hurt you."

Among the three children in the center, the oldest boy held a root tightly with both hands and asked, "Soldier?"

"Are you here for us?" A girl behind him asked aloud.

Another girl hurriedly stopped her in a low voice: "Don't talk so much, be careful that they are bad people."

"Bad people?" Kiyana said carelessly: "How could we be bad people? We are warriors fighting against Houkai Beast, Valkyrie!"

The vigilance on the faces of the three children became more and more intense. When each of them was in the most critical moment, they did not see the soldiers fighting the Houkai Beast. At that time, only their teacher was there.

The boy took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Han Jiang.

No one is so careless and smiling towards strangers without the slightest bit of defense. Kiyana's threat was automatically dismissed by the boy, and it was Han Jiang who didn't say a word that caught his attention even more.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"There is nothing you want here, so leave now."

Qiyana said puzzledly: "Didn't you just say that, we are fighters, we want to..."

Han Jiang raised his hand to tell Qiyana to shut up. The boy's hand holding the stick trembled slightly, and he spoke very fast, obviously just trying to negotiate with the two of them.

I am afraid that boys are not willing to believe what they say at this time.

After all, the reality is right in front of our eyes. We didn’t see any fighters when we were suffering. Now that we are safe, the teacher is going to take them away. Two soldiers who came to rescue came out. Isn’t that funny?

To be able to deal with these children well, probably only Mei can do it, and at the same time, it also needs a good opportunity.

There is no Honkai Beast here, and Han Jiang has no way to show them his hands to prove that he has no intention of hurting them.

"Our teacher is coming back soon, please leave here." The boy urged.

"Hey!" Kiyana became dissatisfied, "We obviously..."

"Okay, then let's go first." Han Jiang grabbed Qiyana and returned the same way.

After going out from the cave, Qiyana threw off Han Jiang's arm and asked, "What are you doing, it's dangerous to let those children stay here, you must take them away as soon as possible!"

"It's okay." Han Jiang shook his head and explained: "We didn't encounter the Houkai beast on the way here. Since they chose to live here, it means that this area is relatively safe, and they will not recognize our identity as soldiers. They will resent them if they continue to stay here."

"But..." Qiyana said aggrievedly: "But we are here to save them. Finding the singularity of the Houkai is not as important as their safety."

Han Jiang silently comforted Qiyana's head: "You have to find the right way to help people, otherwise it will backfire."

"Tell Teacher Jizi the news."

"Ok."

Kiyana didn't care whether the two of them were on the mission or not, she directly connected to Jizi's communicator and told Jizi about the child here.

Ji Zi's voice came from the communicator, "How about this, Kiyana come back first, we also found a child here."

"What about me?" Han Jiang asked.

"Go to the place where the special Honkai can break out and observe it, and return after seeing the specific situation."

"it is good!"

Qiyana returned, and Han Jiang continued to run towards the red dot on the map.

There are a bunch of Houkai beasts gathered in the red dots on the map, including animal species that live on land and many species that live on the seabed.

And they are not too small, each of them is more than three meters, and they are all wandering in the area where the special Honkai can explode.

This is nothing to look at, Han Jiang sent a few pictures to Ji Zi, and returned to the temporary simple camp.

After Han Jiang went back, Qiyana was talking to Ji Zi in an atmosphere.

After walking in, I heard Qiyana complaining constantly.

"I'm a Valkyrie, those children don't believe me, if there is any change in Changkong City, it will completely sink to the bottom of the sea, isn't the villain of Destiny and World Snake also here, what if those children are found ?”

While saying these words, Kiyana had already left behind her past being a member of Destiny.

In addition to that fellow Otto, the Destiny's army also has some high-level people who are not good at it. The Valkyrie squad and grass-roots troops they belong to all care for the people.

The troops of the World Snake...then we don't know. The Raven wants to do experiments in Tianqiong City of Shenzhou, so he knows what the grassroots looks like.

Of course, it cannot be generalized, but as Saint Freya's hostile force, Kiana has completely demonized the opponent.

"I'm back, did you find anything special?" Ji Zi asked Han Jiang instead of caring about Qiyana.

"No, there are a bunch of Houkai Beasts around the explosion point of the Houkai energy, and there are no special traces elsewhere. Isn't the arrival of the Herrscher and the outbreak of Houkai a one-time event?" Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

Ji Zi nodded, worry floated into his eyes, "Maybe it's because of other reasons, I always feel that things are not that simple."

"Oh, by the way, you and Qiyana found a place where there are no adults but only children. Mei happened to pick up a girl too. Dr. Tesla just woke up and was asking about something."

"Where's Mei?"

Ji Zi raised his eyelids and gestured to Huberian in the sky above.

"Mei is worried about whether the child will be hungry when he wakes up. There is no place to cook here, so I went to Huberian."

Han Jiang immediately connected to Mei's communicator and asked, "Mei, is the meal for the child ready?"

"No, what's the matter, have you returned to the camp?"

"Make me one too, I'm hungry too."

Mei smiled softly: "Why are you like a child?"

"I don't care, I just want to eat."

"Good good."

"I want it too, I want it too!" Kiyana also yelled, and she almost jumped up.

There was no other way, Mei asked other people. Among the team members in the camp, Han Jiang and Qiyana could make a fuss, and the other team members were very considerate and said that they were not hungry.

"Doctor, what about the child?" Ji Zi saw Tesla coming out of the simple room.

Tesla glanced back, "She's fine, she's just chronically malnourished, she's much better after a night of sleep."

"Her name is Kong. She grew up in Changkong City. After the Houkai happened, she separated from her family and fled to Dongcheng District. She has been living here since then."

"Apart from her accident, there are more than a dozen people, all of whom are children. The residence that Qiyana and Han Jiang found is the place where Kong lives."

Jizi took a long breath and looked at the river-like street in the distance, and said in a relaxed tone: "At that time, I was almost beaten to death in order to suppress the rampant Mei, and Huberian had returned to the factory for overhaul. Too clear."

"Later, I learned that the Mandate of Heaven had dispatched troops from three branches, and there were even missing refugees, all of whom were children. I didn't dare to think about what they had experienced in the past three years, and how desperate they would be when the Honkai broke out. .”

Ji Zi's tone changed from lighthearted and teasing to serious, failing to rescue the refugees was a dereliction of duty as a Valkyrie.

At this time, Mei also came down from Huberian. After stepping out of the airship, Mei asked, "Is that child awake? What are you talking about?"

"The child is awake." Tesla took Mei's words and asked, "Mei, you grew up in Changkong City. Do you know a place called Nest?"

Yayi shook her head, handed Han Jiang two portions of the three-point food she brought down, and said in a low voice of concern: "Be careful, it's still hot."

"I know." Qiyana happily snatched the meal from Han Jiang.

"Hi!" Tesla glared at Mei, "I'm talking about business!"

"Ah, sorry doctor, you continue."

Tesla had no choice but to repeat the question again, and then Mei said: "Nest, I don't know, I don't know there is such a place at all."

Ji Zi laughed twice, "Changkong City is a city with a population of 3000 million people. How could Mei know so much? Don't ask about the location. Both Han Jiang and Qiyana came back from there."

Regardless of whether Jizi was in command of this operation, Tesla rolled his eyes and said, "I'm confirming to Mei whether there is any special place in that nest, which can live in an abandoned city for three years, or a group of children. Is it something that ordinary people can do?"

"The children have a caretaker, and Xiaokong calls her a teacher. I want to ask Mei if there is a special woman near Changkong City before the collapse of Changkong City."

Seeing Tesla's popularity, Ji Zi smiled sarcastically and said, "Ask, ask, Mei, and cooperate with the doctor well."

Tesla didn't ask Mei anything, and continued: "The teacher who takes care of the children needs our attention. That teacher is not in Changkong City on weekdays, and only comes back once a month or two."

"Every time I come back, I will bring food and other supplies. The children in the nest are built on such conditions to survive."

"Now the question is, why is that teacher free to go out, but not take the children out?"

The powerful and mysterious woman appears in everyone's mind. What is the reason why she has worked so hard to deliver supplies for three years without being discovered by destiny, and without taking the children outside to live in a safe world?
Han Jiang knew that the other party was a raven, so he had nothing to worry about, so he squatted down and ate the curry rice made by Mei.

The few other people didn't even have a vague shadow in their hearts, they just felt that the already complicated situation in Changkong City was even more chaotic.

"Ah! It's too messy. Regardless of whether there will be a Herrscher in Changkong City or not, it is a very troublesome matter. Now that there are so many things happening, I have to think about it carefully, and I will leave the child to you."
