Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 48 Empty magazines, only passion remains.

It turns out that human potential is limitless. When Qiong started running, no zombie could catch up with him. He ran all the way to the hotel area without even breaking a sweat.

But in his panic, he clearly forgot that the hotel was also a densely populated area. In other words, the density of zombies and undead in this place was much higher than in other areas...

Qiong wasn't stupid. When he saw the monsters gathered near the hotel, he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to rush in just to get a baseball bat. Who knew if a zombie or assassin would suddenly appear and bite him? Obviously, he couldn't go back to the hotel.

As for weapons, we can always find them, right? At the very least, something should emerge from the shadows, right?

"There are assassins and zombies everywhere..."

The sudden shift from an investigation to a post-apocalyptic survival left Qiong somewhat unprepared. He knew his mind was in turmoil and he needed to find a safe place to regroup.

Where to go? Hotels are off-limits, streets are off-limits, and I'm not familiar with other places. Continuing to race against a massive number of monsters will only exhaust me. The only place I can go is the source of this catastrophe, where at least I know some people.

----------

Suicide squads, suicide squads everywhere.

Looking at the hordes of assassins ahead, Kiana wished she could replace her dual pistols with machine guns, so she could at least take down all the assassins who rushed at her. But that was just wishful thinking. Right now, all she could rely on were her dual pistols and the Kaslana Gunfighting Technique taught by Siegfried.

It takes several shots to kill a zombie/suicide squad if a vital organ isn't hit. While gunfu can indeed kill a zombie/suicide squad with a single blow from the butt of a gun, it's far too inefficient against this number of enemies. Even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them, let alone monsters. Even if she was desperate to find Raiden Mei, even if she was Kaslana with superhuman strength, she could only fight and retreat, seeking a place to rest temporarily.

"Damn it, we're almost out of bullets..."

Kiana, who arrived by commercial airliner, naturally couldn't have brought a large number of weapons to Changkong City; she only brought a small amount out of habit.

Furthermore, some of the luggage was left in the hotel's suitcases. Who carries weapons on a trip?

By blocking both the front and back doors, the low-IQ assassins and zombies could not break into the classroom. Kiana, sitting by the window, began to observe the situation outside.

As expected, apart from the occasional wandering of assassins, there was nothing else.

Honkai energy corrodes all life, a fact Siegfried had taught her long ago. But after learning a little more, Kiana knew that the Honkai energy resistance/adaptability varied from person to person, so the time required for them to be corrupted and transformed into undead also differed. However, the longer the transformation, the harder they were to fight... A few people, like the members of their Kaslana family, could operate in high-concentration Honkai energy environments for extended periods; these were the natural Honkai-resistant warriors.

Thinking of this, Kiana's face darkened. Sora was alright; Theresa had said she had "good potential," but what about Raiden Mei? That ordinary girl might very well have become a suicide soldier too, right?

"Mei, Little Gray Fur... Little Gray Fur?!"

Looking out the window, Kiana saw Sora being chased by a large group of assassins.

"Hey, over here! Look here!"

"I really hate number 17 right now..."

Not just March 17th, but also somewhat related to the date 17th in the Chinese calendar!

Of course, if you give him the Honkai Impact 3rd game, Prometheus will definitely play it.

Kiana resealed the door and turned to look at Sora, who was lying on the ground muttering to himself without any regard for his image. She tried to pull him up.

"Little Grey, get up! I know you're tired, but you absolutely can't lie down right after strenuous exercise!"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Qiong knew, of course, that this behavior would cause his heart and blood pressure to spike, but he didn't care because he wasn't tired at all, not even out of breath. He was simply weak in the knees, scared out of his wits.

Kiana realized that Sora might be frightened, so she decided to wait for Sora to calm down, but Sora immediately got up from the ground.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Qiong, who had been thinking about many things while lying on the ground, adopted a solemn expression.

Kiana, how many bullets do you have left?

"I don't have many shots left. Apart from the two assassins I used to stop you from coming, I can only fire one more round at most."

Although she knew that firearms were not the best solution, Qiong still gave a wry smile when she learned that she was running out of bullets.

"The magazine is empty, but the passion remains."

"What enthusiasm? Don't worry, I'll definitely get you out of Changkong City! Oh, and find Auntie's period!"

Kiana suddenly slapped her forehead as if she had thought of something, and quickly took out her phone to try to make a call.

"If I just get Auntie to drive that Helios over there, then...no signal?!"

"Useless Kiana, I've already tried it, the signal in Changkong City is already malfunctioning."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that we can't contact Auntie right now! We'll get in touch with her later. Let's think about how to deal with the current collapse first."

Qiong nodded in agreement with Kiana's suggestion. It seemed that Kiana's mind worked quite well in critical situations. In this case, Kiana was more suitable to be the backbone than him, a guy who had never seen much of the world.

"I agree. I think our primary goal should be to find the weapon (Mei)!"

"Forehead……"

As expected, paramecia are simply not suitable to be the backbone!

As soon as the words were spoken, the two stared at each other blankly.

"Kiana, how many assassins can you take down with those few bullets? It's more important to find some handy weapons for self-defense, isn't it?"

"Oh dear, by the time we find the weapon, Mei might be..."

Kiana fell silent, whether because she was thinking about something or because she didn't want to say anything unlucky.

Seeing Kiana suddenly fall silent, Sora decided to say something to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Kiana. We're in much more danger than Raiden Mei."

"how do you know?"

"It's hard to explain, just pretend I dreamt about it. Anyway, trust me! Let's go get some weapons first!"

"Okay, I believe you. But even if we go to find weapons, where can we look? There are no weapons at this school, are there?"

Seeing that Kiana had been persuaded, Qiong quickly chimed in.

"Are you stupid? You can get a katana from the kendo club or a baseball bat from the baseball club! If that doesn't work, you can use any wrench, hammer, or crowbar as a weapon."

"Who are you calling stupid? Of course I know, I'm just giving you a chance to prove yourself."

"Yes, yes, Kiana is very smart. Let's get going without delay."

Looking at Kiana's back, Qiong felt like she was coaxing a child.

"Little Grey Hair, where do you think Mei would hide if she were to? I've searched so many classrooms, but I haven't found her anywhere."

"The rooftop, I think it can only be the rooftop."

"why?"

Meeting Kiana's sapphire-blue eyes, Sora answered solemnly.

"Please believe me, it could only be the rooftop."

"Okay, let's go up to the rooftop and take a look after we find the weapons!"

To remain so positive and optimistic even at the epicenter of the Great Collapse—Kiana is perhaps the only one like her. Qiong couldn't help but envy Kiana's incredible resilience.

"Little Grey, do you think we should use the metal bat or the wooden bat?"

"In my opinion, it would be better to take them all."
