Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 178 The Great Collapse of Manila

"Please, Bronya! I know this is an outrageous request, but I mean it! Only you can help me right now!"

According to normal procedures, by the time the actual collapse warning results are released, the people of Manila will not have enough time to evacuate...

"Brother Qiong".

Bronya was silent for a moment, then put down the game controller, floated back to her room, and immediately turned on her computer. Her hands moved quickly across the screen in front of her, and strings of code flashed by.

Bronya believes in you.

"Thank you so much, Bronya! You're such a smart, beautiful, and talented girl!"

Bronya showed no reaction to Qiong's praise.

The compliments were insincere; compared to others, Bronya's slender figure wasn't pretty at all—but Bronya wasn't completely despairing of her body, after all, those photos… Praise was fine, but she'd wait a few more years.

"If we really want to thank Bronya, Brother Qiong knows what to do."

"Of course, of course!"

Qiong nodded vigorously on the other end of the phone. What would Bronya want? Either Seele or Houmu. Ask Lao Yang about Seele, and as for Houmu, you'll have to ask Lao Yang...

“Brother Qiong. Bronya has to tell you something: Bronya can do it, but only for a very short time…”

After all, the elites of Destiny are not to be trifled with. Once such obvious hacking is discovered, those professionals will immediately take back control of the alarm system. If things go wrong, they might even be reverse-hackered and used to find St. Freya.

"Okay, I understand."

---------------

Manila was awakened by the piercing sirens at night, and countless residents awoke from their dreams, spreading the word and evacuating immediately.

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

Chen Tianwu and his sister were among the countless residents. They were also full of questions, but seeing the crowds rushing to leave the city, they could only follow the flow of people.

"It's nothing, just astronomy."

Chen Tianwu grabbed Chen Tianwen with one hand to prevent them from getting separated in the crowd.

"It's nothing, it's just that no one's home to sleep tonight..."

.........

Emergency alarms blared throughout Manila as people began evacuating to safety. Meanwhile, at the Destiny Oceania branch, alarms blared as the Valkyries investigated the cause.

"Earthquake, tsunami, typhoon... What is all this? The system must be malfunctioning!"

Emilia frowned as she examined the data. Logically speaking, even if there were a sudden disaster, they shouldn't all be happening at once!

"This is definitely not a simple system failure; it must be that anti-entropy has infiltrated the alarm system of the Oceania branch."

Ada crossed her arms. She didn't understand the technology, but she could roughly guess who did it—Anti-Entropy!

First, there's the Honkai Impact warning, then the poison sale, and now this hacking and fake alarm? Anti-Entropy keeps causing trouble in Manila, what are they trying to do? Are they declaring war on Schicksal?!

"No matter who did it, we must regain control of the alarm system as soon as possible. The false alarms have caused public panic!"

"Report! Radar indicates an unidentified mech has appeared south of Manila. Preliminary assessment suggests it belongs to the Anti-Entropy standard mechs!"

……

"Sometimes I really don't understand what you guys are thinking."

Einstein thought she might be going mad; she had actually agreed to Walter and Dome's insane plan. But watching the orderly evacuation of Manila's residents into the Anti-Entropy base, she wondered if perhaps…

"Auntie Ai, what's done is done, what's there to regret? I wonder if Bronya will be found out... Bronya, you have to hold on..."

"I suggest you worry about us first."

"why?"

Qiong looked at Einstein, somewhat puzzled.

"Because they came."

------------

At the Oceania branch of Destiny, the Valkyries quickly mobilized to stop the evacuation of the people—since it was definitely a false alarm caused by a system intrusion, they should stop the people from leaving their homes and heading south of Manila to smash the Anti-Entropy mechs to pieces!

The Valkyrie squads stationed at the Manila branch were all huffing and puffed up with sleepless nights due to being woken up. The Snow Lotus squad, which volunteered for the mission, quickly stormed into Anti-Entropy's exposed base—or rather, its shelter.

"Despicable, shameless, and vile!"

When the Valkyries rushed to the vicinity of Anti-Entropy's base, they dared not make a move—Anti-Entropy personnel and mechs were maintaining order around the base, which was being concealed as a shelter!

"Reverse Entropy, that's a brilliant move!"

Ada, gritting her teeth, quickly realized that they couldn't act now, because if they did, innocent people would definitely be harmed. Anti-Entropy was using the people as human shields!

"The Valkyrie of Destiny, I am Liesel Albert Einstein, the Entropy Executor."

"An entropy executor?"

Through the base's communication system, Einstein, who was also grumpy when he woke up, sent a signal using the Titan mech closest to the Valkyrie.

At the same time, everyone saw several mechs projecting a line of large, eye-catching text using their lights: This is only for a Honkai alert, and there is no malicious intent...

"..."

The Valkyries looked at each other, bewildered. What should they do in this situation they had never encountered before?

"Captain, what do we do?"

Helena tugged at Ida's clothes; at times like this, it was up to Ida to make the decisions.

"I--"

beep-

Mia's call came in from beside Ada.

"It's bad, Captain! The branch's alarm system has been restored!"

"It's back to normal?"

Ada cleaned her ears. She was still young; surely she wouldn't have tinnitus?

"Isn't it a good thing that it's recovered? But it's not recovered yet, is it?"

Although her teammates said she had recovered, Ada was still hearing alarm sounds in her ears.

"That's the problem. The restored system shows that the concentration of collapse energy over Manila has surged to 900 HW..."

As soon as Mia finished speaking, the sky over Manila suddenly turned an eerie purple.

The purple light illuminated the earth, and Manila seemed to return to daylight in an instant; even the streetlights along the roadside seemed to turn off on their own...

"Ahhhh!"

On the streets of Manila, some residents began to mutate, their bodies turning deathly pale and twisting into bizarre shapes for no apparent reason... Many more were instantly reduced to ashes.

"Brother, those people..."

Chen Tianwen hid behind Chen Tianwu in fear.

"Don't be afraid, your brother is here..."

---------

"Everyone scatter!"

The moment Ada's roar exploded through the communicator, all the Valkyries of the Snow Lotus Squad knew that this time they had no choice but to join forces with Anti-Entropy...

Many of the residents before them had turned into suicide soldiers. Their hands flickered with an unnatural purple light, and what surged between the gaps in their bodies torn apart by Honkai energy was not flesh and blood, but Honkai energy—the surging Honkai energy would materialize into scythes and claws.

"Belongs to Anti-Entropy, and is cooperating with the Valkyrie of Destiny."

Einstein's voice came from the front-line mech unit, after which the mechs unleashed their electromagnetic cannons.

I'm late with the update. I only remembered I hadn't updated this chapter after I'd spent the whole day getting ready and going to bed. I had to go to school after all...

Long live understanding! Things will be much normal once school starts.
