Chapter 150: You are the betrayer
The sound of gunfire continued to reach her ears.
The silver-haired girl was running through the corridors of the base, dodging the pursuit of the soldiers behind her.
——After being together with Cocolia for so long, they already knew each other inside and out.
Cocolia knew that she had betrayed her, and Bronya could naturally see that Cocolia already knew that she had betrayed her.
So, while she was on guard against possible attacks at any time, she hacked into the base's network and investigated Cocolia's specific location.
But before she could achieve enough results, her stealthy actions appeared to have been discovered, as data hacked into the base's network showed that a large number of armed men were approaching her room.
In order to avoid being trapped in the small room, Bronya escaped ahead of time.
It seems that Cocolia also has a very good hacker expert by her side. I am afraid that the traces left by her previous investigation of Cocolia's whereabouts were also discovered by him, her, or it.
The girl summoned Project Bunny and started running around the base.
A dead end had been reached ahead, and the gates of the road that was originally passable had been lowered in advance.
Bronya stopped and slowly turned around under the protection of Project Bunny.
Directly in front of her, numerous fully armed men pointed their guns at her while slowly approaching her.
The guns they used were all manufactured by the Anti-Entropy factory. Bronya could even easily describe their specific structure and ammunition capacity.
These weapons all contained some Honkai energy technology and could play a certain role when dealing with low-level Honkai beasts.
However, even if they were fully armed, they were still just ordinary people.
A mortal body... is still a far cry from her self who has been transformed by Honkai energy, even though she is now just an ordinary "B-rank Valkyrie."
The silver-haired girl bent her waist and knees slightly, preparing to start running.
"Kinetic system unlocked, deployed at full speed."
The external mechanical skeletons of her feet glowed brightly.
——Although she usually moves in a slow and floating manner, it does not mean that she does the same during battle.
As long as the power limit of the mechanical skeleton is removed, she will be able to regain her normal flexible movements.
The girl stomped her feet hard, and then she shot out like a silver bullet, rushing towards the soldiers who surrounded her without fear.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The soldiers who reacted quickly pulled the trigger and poured fire towards Bronya.
But their reaction was still a little slow, and the soldiers in the front had already been approached by the girl who was advancing at full speed.
The mechanical skeleton made a slight humming sound, like a buzzer echoing around her body.
The soldiers raised their weapons in panic and tried to aim to resist, but her speed had already far exceeded their reaction ability, and screams continued to be heard among the crowd.
A soldier aimed at her chest and pulled the trigger, but she quickly dodged the bullet, leaving only a trail of afterimage.
Bronya quickly approached the soldier, spun around to avoid his attack, and then punched him hard in the chest, knocking him away instantly.
Another soldier tried to attack from behind, but the girl was prepared. Using the propulsion power of her mechanical skeleton, she turned around in an instant and kicked him in the abdomen, slamming him against the wall and embedding him in it.
Everything happened in just a moment. The girl's superhuman physical fitness and fighting ability made the soldiers a little frightened, and even the firepower of the guns stopped for a moment.
Bronya picked up the gun on the ground, gently pulled the trigger with her fingertips, and the bullets poured down like a rainstorm. She accurately aimed at every soldier who had fallen to the ground, making sure they had no power to resist.
——This is the [Silver Wolf of the Ural].
Bronya has never had any objection to killing. Rather, this kind of thing has become a common occurrence for her.
In such a life-and-death battlefield, it would be foolish to show mercy to the enemy.
Afterwards, the girl disappeared from the spot again and used her exquisite close combat skills and her accurate shooting skills to easily take care of the team that was chasing her.
Of course, although she relied on her agile body to avoid most of the attacks, many bullets still almost hit her, so they were not completely powerless to resist.
However, before it hit her body, it was blocked by Project Bunny's shield.
Well, unfortunately, that's the power of technology.
"…"
After pressing the head of a soldier who was still breathing on the retinal detector of the gate and opening the gate with his eyeballs, Bronya stabbed him again, then passed through the gate and came to the next area.
This place is very spacious, and correspondingly, everywhere you look there are soldiers ready for battle, their number is much larger than the small team just now.
Bronya frowned slightly:
"...So much?"
Countless bullets and shells were fired toward her, but Project Bunny put up a shield to help her block all the firepower.
Although simply stacking up the numbers was of no use to her, it would be too much effort for her to defeat this number of soldiers one by one with her own hands.
It just so happens that the principal has just helped upgrade Project Bunny's weapon system, so let's try it out on them.
As her thoughts came to light, the heavily armed bunny beside her raised its two giant mechanical hands, and dazzling light condensed between its palms.
"FIRE!"
As the girl's ruthless words fell, the huge arsenal poured out its firepower, dealing a devastating blow to all enemies within sight.
...
A moment later, Bronya stood in the center of the square that had become a ruin.
Ruined buildings and broken stones were scattered around her, as if a destructive storm had just passed.
All the armed soldiers had been dealt with by her and Project Bunny, but the vigilance in her eyes had not disappeared. Her gray eyes were fixed on the surroundings, and she looked around every corner vigilantly, as if new enemies might arrive at any time.
——She knew Cocolia well enough to know that woman couldn't possibly intend to capture her alive with just these soldiers.
The woman hadn't even sent out her most commonly used Titan mecha.
'Kirataka... He is much stronger than me, so there shouldn't be any problem...'
In Bronya's opinion, now that they have been exposed, the top priority should be to reunite with Kirataka as soon as possible and then make plans.
When she hacked into the base's network, she had already figured out the layout of the fortress and knew where the prisoners were held.
She took a step forward, intending to look for Kirataka.
But things didn't go as she wished.
Suddenly, the huge force of gravity pressed down on the girl's petite body, making it difficult for her to move.
"...Hmm!"
The silver-haired girl struggled to support her body, but Project Bunny behind her was also subject to the same control and was ruthlessly pinned to the ground.
This abnormal feeling is called the shackles of gravity.
Bronya struggled to support her body. At the same time, multiple figures were reflected in her gray eyes.
They all have the same appearance, dark blue hair, adult male bodies, and Stigmata on their faces that emit a faint blue light.
With expressionless faces, they performed the same action and stretched out their palms towards themselves in unison.
Obviously, they are the ones who are manipulating gravity to suppress her.
The girl gritted her teeth and tried her best to support her body, but the pressure of gravity made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"These people are..."
Bronya said in a weak voice.
——This was not just talking to herself, she knew that Cocolia could hear her words through the biochip.
"They are the failed products of my research. Having said that, they are enough to deal with you, Bronya."
Sure enough, Cocolia's voice suddenly spoke in her mind.
As she has invested a considerable amount of research resources in the [Artificial Herrscher] project, the output will certainly not be limited to the semi-finished product Watt One and the finished product Watt Two.
...
The remaining defective products, which are completely lacking in mind, are the by-products of research.
...
"Bronya, my daughter, why did you betray me?"
...
"...To Bronya, you are the betrayer."
