Honkai Survival Guide

The next day, seven in the morning.

Lord opened his eyes on time as always.

Skillfully pulled his arms out of Rosalia and Lilia's embrace, walked out of the room lightly after washing.

At the same time as the door was opened, the door of the room opposite him also opened.

Bronya came out of the room, and when she saw Lord who also came out of the room, she couldn't help being taken aback.

"Yo, good morning, Bronya."

Lord closed the door and greeted Bronya.

"Ah...morning, good morning, Lord...brother."

Bronya responded unnaturally, especially when she called out Brother Lord, her little head was slightly turned to one side, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Lord smiled when he saw this, reached out and rubbed Bronya's head, and asked.

"Well, did you sleep well last night?"

"Well, the bed is very soft, and the quilt is also very warm." Bronya nodded and said, "Bronya has never slept so comfortably before."

"If only I could stay in bed all the time."

Lord was taken aback when he heard this.

Wait, isn't that the reason why Bronya will become a house girl in the future?

Should... no?

"Brother Lord, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Lord didn't respond for a long time, Bronya reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Emmmmmm...It's okay, I'm thinking about something." Lord shook his head, shaking off his messy thoughts.

"But having said that, why did Bronya get up so early? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Bronya has already woken up. Although lying in bed is very comfortable, she can only lie in a daze, so she just got up."

"In that case...Will Bronya come with me to prepare breakfast?"

"Breakfast?" Bronya's eyes lit up, and there was a trace of expectation on her expressionless face: "Can you make beetroot soup?"

"Is that all you like about the taste of beetroot soup? But beetroot soup in the morning should be fine, right? Then serve it with some bread. Hmm...probably fine."

After thinking for a moment, Lord decided on breakfast.

"Okay, let's make beetroot soup then, let's go to the kitchen."

With that said, Lord took Bronya's little hand and walked straight towards the kitchen, arriving at the destination soon.

"Shall I teach you how to do it?"

"want."

"Okay, let's prepare the ingredients first." Lord rolled up his sleeves and explained to Bronya while preparing the ingredients.

Beetroot soup is actually not difficult to make, and Bronya is naturally a smart child, and she quickly memorized the steps. It only takes a few practical operations to fully master this dish.

So breakfast was prepared quickly with the cooperation of the two, and another good boy, Xier, who got up early, also dutifully woke up the other children, and everyone sat at the dining table obediently and waited. breakfast.

Oh, and Cocolia is there too.

After returning to the orphanage, this woman changed her appearance. She didn't feel like a strong woman outside at all. Instead, she was wearing pajamas, her hair was messy, and her eyes were sleepy. An adult cub.

If someone who is familiar with Cocolia's cold and efficient way of doing things outside sees her decadent appearance like an older house girl, they will probably be so shocked that their jaws will drop.

But Lord knows that this is the truest appearance of Cocolia, and she is actually too lazy to take care of her image, and she doesn't want to maintain a cruel and cold personality.

She likes children, likes to mingle with them, and sometimes even messes around with them, causing Lord quite a headache.In the orphanage, she is not a high-level anti-entropy, but an ordinary stupid mother who wants to be with her children.

When Bronya saw Cocolia like this, she was so shocked that she almost threw the pot out of her hand.

During breakfast, Lord also took advantage of the opportunity to officially introduce Bronya to all the children in the orphanage, and it was no surprise that she received a warm welcome, especially Rosalia, who almost posted it all up.

But it seems that Bronya is not very used to such enthusiasm, and the whole person is almost shrunk behind Lord.

Soon, after having breakfast, and taking the children's morning exercises and class tasks, Lord threw it to Cocolia, who was unkempt and still thinking about lazy fishing, while he brought Bronya Go to the medical department of the orphanage for a thorough physical examination.

Bronya has been active in the wild all year round. She ate her last meal and never stopped, and she always ate a snowball or a piece of ice skate when she drank water.If you want to say that there is nothing wrong with you, it must be impossible.

So a thorough check is needed before Bronya can be recuperated and her overwhelmed body can be rejuvenated.

It took a long time to check the body. After a whole set of checks, it was already in the afternoon, and Bronya, who had finished the checkup, also looked a little tired.

Lord let Bronya go back to the room to rest first.

On the other hand, he found Cocolia who had played with the child for a long time before returning to the room.

Cocolia's room is twice as big as the children's, because she also stuffed a desk and a few bookshelves in the room, so that she can handle some official business in her spare time in the orphanage.

And now she was sitting on the ergonomic bionic chair behind the desk, sipping a cup of black tea slowly, seeing Lord come in, she just raised her eyes a little, looking lazy.

"Hey, isn't this my rebellious son, Lord Edrick? How come you have time to see your dear mother?"

"Dear Aunt Cocolia!" Lord deliberately emphasized the word aunt.

"I never admitted that you were my mother."

"Hey—how can I say that I have raised you for two years, are you so ruthless? It's okay to change the name a little bit, right?"

"Are you so obsessed with letting me call your mother?"

"Nonsense." Cocolia rolled her eyes: "All the children in the orphanage call me mother, even Bronya, who just came yesterday, obediently changed her words, with the exception of you, who refused to call me alive or dead. Mom, I don't know why you are so stubborn."

"I don't want to hear you call me mom."

"Then you can continue to be unwilling." Lord waved his hand angrily.

"So, what do you want to come to me this time?"

Lord's expression changed a few times, and finally he asked seriously as if he had made up his mind.

"What is the X-10 laboratory under the Sea of ​​Okhotsk used for?"

Cocolia was stunned for a moment, her expression was a little astonished, as if she didn't expect Lord to ask this question.The next moment, her expression became serious, and her lazy look disappeared without a trace.

She straightened up, put the black tea in her hand on the table, and stared closely at Lord's eyes.

"How did you know about this?"

Lord sighed and replied.

"Did you forget that I have the key to your room?"

"When you came back last time, this document was on the table. It's hard for me not to see it."

"When you came back last time, you were worried because of this."

Seeing that Cocolia was silent, Lord continued to ask.

"So what exactly is this X-10 experiment?"

Of course, Lord, who had learned about this plot in his previous life, knew about the X-10 experiment, what the experiment was about, and what the results of the experiment were. He knew everything about it.

But Lord only remembered that Seele was subjected to the experiment in the summer of 2013, and now it was January of 2012, more than a year before the experiment.But this experiment is not the only two victims of Seele and Bronya, the children who have been experimented with before have all ushered in the end of death.

In contrast, Xier and Bronya are the lucky ones.

Lord didn't know when the experiment started until he saw the documents on Cocolia's desk a month ago.

After flipping through it, he carefully put it back in its original place, and felt a little relieved.

The X-10 submarine laboratory has only just been built, and no experiments have been conducted yet.

And he pretended to be ignorant of the experiment, and came to Cocolia to take the initiative to mention this matter, just to let her speak out about it so that he would have the opportunity to participate in it.

Otherwise, based on the malevolence of the collapsed world towards men, Cocolia might tell him about the collapse, but he would definitely not let him get involved as a male.

Although he possesses the power of the God's Eye, he has fought with brown bears and rolled in the snow with plain wolves after crossing over.I have never fought Honkai Beast, I have never dismantled a Titan, I have never seen a Valkyrie, I have never faced Herrscher directly, so I still have to put a question mark on my own strength.

Under the circumstances that the level of strength is still unknown, it is certainly impossible for Lord to ask Cocolia to stop the experiment by himself, so he can only find another way.

"Ugh......"

Cocolia rubbed the space between her brows, and leaned back on the chair as if she had lost all her strength.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

Cocolia was silent for a long time before she spoke helplessly.

"Forget it, I was going to tell you about this, but now I'm just moving the time forward."

"Before talking about the X-10 experiment, the first thing you need to know is another thing."

"His name is—Honkai!"

Seven, I will be the experimental subject

"Judging from what's written in the news, newspapers, magazines and some books, the so-called "Honkai" is an infectious disease."

"This disease has a very strong ability to spread. The sick patients will lose their minds, bite humans like zombies, and spread the "Honkai virus" to the bitten people."

"Patients are generally called "dead men". Once they become dead men, the only way to stop the spread of the disease is to kill the patient."

Relying on the memories of his previous life and the newspapers and magazines he read after time travel, Lord expressed an understanding that he "should" express.

Sure enough, Cocolia nodded approvingly.

"It seems that you usually read a lot, at least you are very familiar with the information disclosed to the public." She took a sip of black tea and continued: "But this is just a superficial phenomenon. The so-called "Hengkai" is not as simple as that at all. s things."

"The "collapse" that happened in the world is actually a natural disaster that occurs periodically."

"It will happen every few hundred years. The manifestations of Honkai are elusive. Wars, infectious diseases, ice ages, climate disasters, asteroid impacts, and even the arrival of giant soldiers are all possible."

"For example, the Black Death in the 14th century directly or indirectly caused the death of one-third of the world's population. This is a form of collapse."

"And this time, the Honkai, apparently the "dead warriors" mutated by human beings, has become a specific disaster form of Honkai."

"Human beings will turn into dead men due to the erosion of Houkai. Low-level people will bite humans like zombies in biochemical movies, and high-level people will possess incredible abilities as if they have acquired supernatural powers."

"Moreover, generally speaking, the metabolic environment of male mammals has a very strong allergic reaction to Hoonkai infection. In other words, males' Hoonkai adaptability is often extremely low. Except for extremely rare special cases, ordinary males Touch it and die."

"Regardless of what form Honkai manifests, it is only born for destruction."

"It doesn't sound ... like something that would actually happen in reality."

Lord pretended to be a bit unacceptable and said.

"So our world has always been dangerous?"

"Yes, it's true whether you accept it or not."

Cocolia sighed and continued.

"Twelve years ago, that is, in 12, a major collapse occurred in Siberia."

"Countless people died because of this, countless families were broken, and countless children lost their parents because of this collapse and became orphans."

Lord asked in a timely manner: "You mean, Bronya is also one of the victims of this collapse?"

"That's right." Cocolia showed a complicated expression, like sadness, pity, and fear: "To be precise, most of the children in the orphanage are victims of this collapse."

"And I was also a witness to the Honkai incident 12 years ago."

"I have personally experienced and witnessed the tragedy that happened on this land. So I tried to do something to change it, so I built this orphanage."

"But this is obviously not enough. Honkai will come back at any time. My orphanage is as fragile as an inconspicuous ant in front of Honkai. I have to do something more, at least let the children be able to live in Honkai. survived."

Lord nodded knowingly: "So, this is the purpose of the X-10 experiment?"

"You are very smart." Cocolia nodded: "Houkai will erode the human body. Although women have better adaptability to Houkai than men, this adaptability is limited after all."

"And the purpose of the X-10 experiment is to find a way for humans to fully adapt to the Houkai."

"Once the experiment is successful, men and women, young and old, can survive the collapse."

"I see." Lord took a long breath of relief and continued to ask: "Then this is a good thing, why are you still worrying about it? Is there any condition that cannot be met?"

"Yes, there are indeed some conditions that cannot be met."

"Can you tell me?"

Cocolia looked up at the boy's pure blue pupils, and said in a trembling voice after being silent for a while.
