Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 10 Arvit: Next time I go out, I'll definitely bring equipment.

"Stop right now, you'll die!"

As a Valkyrie who fights for all that is good in the world, Alvit knows all too well what happens to most men when they come into contact with Honkai energy—they either become zombies or turn to ash. Men generally have low adaptability to Honkai energy and don't even have the chance to become undead.

However, Alvitt probably didn't know the old Chinese saying: "It's hard to reason with a damned devil." Even though she tried to stop him, the thug still injected himself with the drug. Although she didn't know what the drug's effects were, her intuition told her that the Honkai energy it contained was definitely enough to kill.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"What's up with him?"

Qiong saw the thug scream and fall to the ground, writhing in pain and clutching the spot where he had just been injected with the drug.

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

The two remaining thugs, still standing, felt a pang of worry, but they quickly forgot about it: in less than half a minute, the fallen thug's skin turned a bizarre purple, somewhat like a purple sweet potato. His eyes also turned bloodshot. The purple-skinned thug, now back on his feet, let out a wild roar and lunged at the other two, tearing at them...

"What on earth was injected? Rabies virus?!"

Qiong was dumbfounded. Was this a failed product of the swimming team's special drug from the neighboring beautiful country? Otherwise, why would she be covered in purple skin after taking it?

The purple sweet potato skin monster that pounced on the two thugs didn't use any weapons. The thug who wasn't bitten tried to resist with his stick, but it was no use. Even when he hit the thug who had turned into a monster with all his might, he only managed to deform the stick in his hand.

"Damn it, what kind of potion is this? Never mind!"

Even though the other party wasn't a good person, Alvit still felt they didn't deserve to die—at least they shouldn't have been bitten to death by monsters. Although she wanted to rescue them, she hadn't brought any equipment with her on her surveillance mission, her stomach was empty because of a maid, and she had neither physical strength nor weapons. If she went in head-on, she might really end up like her superior.

After all, she was just a weak and incompetent tool.

"You two, step back!"

But as a Valkyrie, she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. Alvitt firmly believed that her years of training had paid off, and that beating up a thug who had just been infected shouldn't be a problem, right?

Arvit charged at the monster and delivered a flying kick to its back. The powerful kinetic energy from the impact sent the monster flying off the barely alive thug.

"Take him away quickly, and don't lie on the ground anymore. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

"Run!"

The thugs who were still standing pulled up the thug who had just been bitten and ran away, leaving Alvitt to confront the monster.

Staring at the monster slowly rising before her, Aylvit was puzzled for the first time. What kind of infection was this? It clearly didn't belong to a human recently infected and turned into a zombie, nor was it a deadly being transformed by Honkai energy. Instead, it seemed to be an animal or Honkai beast highly infected by Honkai energy…

Humans injected with a Honkai energy-containing drug would become Honkai-like beings? Alvitt would never have believed that before, but now…

She had no choice but to believe it.

The monster quickly regained its senses, its scarlet eyes glaring at Alvit before it pounced. Alvit nimbly leaped backward, simultaneously waving its arm to release a faint signal, which Rita would soon receive and come to her aid.

Behind her, all the thugs lying on the ground were physically woken up by Qiong using her feet or the thugs' own sticks.

"Did the collapse of Changkong City occur so early?"

From the moment the Undying Blade duo arrived in the sky, the "history" that Qiong knew was changed, and no one can say what will happen next.

If it were next door, there would probably be another black cat named Elio who angrily tore up his own script with his claws and wanted to write a new one... but he would only tear up one that wasn't even finished yet.

However, Qiong didn't have time to think about that at the moment. With Asakura Miyuki in one hand and a stick in the other, and since Alvite was charging ahead, she had to do something.

Looking up at the other thug dragging his subordinate running towards them, Qiong found it a bit amusing. Who would have thought that the guy who had just wanted to harm him and Asakura was now running away in a panic, and the reason for running away was that one of them had gone mad... It must be caused by Honkai energy, right?

As for monsters? There's no need to panic at all. Although Alvitt is a tool who hasn't boarded the ship yet, she is still a member of the Undying Blade. Surely her combat power isn't even worse than a mere monster?

"That's about right... Hmm? What's that...?"

When Qiong shifted his gaze to the ground, he suddenly noticed that the purple mark where the thug had been bitten on the neck had rapidly spread to his face, almost turning into a purple husk...

"This thing is contagious?! Hey, throw him down right now!"

However, the thugs didn't seem to hear her, so Sora had no choice but to throw off Asakura Miyuki and rush over to hit the spot where the thugs were shaking hands with a stick. Otherwise, who knows if this thug would turn into a monster and then bite and bring a third monster.

"Little Grey, are you alright? Miyuki isn't—what happened?"

"Stop asking, Kiana, come help!"

Alvit is not some Chinese tablet, so fighting monsters with her bare hands is quite difficult. What's more, the monster, which was a bit clumsy at first, became more and more agile. Even though Alvit dodged the attacks several times, she was still hit by the monster's palm and forced to retreat because she was out of sorts.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."

Arvit was clutching her left arm, which was most likely dislocated.

"When I get back, I must make sure the deputy captain applies for work-related injury compensation for me during fieldwork..."

Although my left arm is unusable and I have no weapon to fight the monster, holding it off shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Hey, you liar, watch out behind you!"

"Who's the liar? It's you! Why aren't you leaving?"

Looking back, all that remained in the alley were Sora, holding a baseball bat, Miyuki Asakura, and Kiana Kaslana, who appeared out of nowhere and started yelling at her.

Oh, and there's another thug, also covered in purple, who's swaying as he stands up.

"besides?!"

Arvit was on the verge of collapse. She couldn't even fight one person bare-handed, let alone two? How was she supposed to fight them? How could she possibly hold out until Rita came to the rescue?

If she were left alone, Arvit, who was quite confident in her ability to slip away unscathed, was sure she could make a clean getaway. But there were ordinary people and her target around her.

"Damn it, I can't let you hurt other people..." Alvitt muttered to herself, then she mustered all her strength and decided to rush towards the thugs behind her.

boom!

However, after mentally preparing herself for serious injury and having to go back to write a paid leave application, Kiana pulled a pistol out of her pocket.

It's common knowledge that a gun is fast from seven paces away, and accurate and fast within seven paces. Most Valkyries can't withstand a single shot, let alone a thug who has just turned into a monster.

Two shots, one to the head, the other to the head of another monster.

"Miss Alvitt, are you alright?"

Looking at the approaching Sora and Asakura Miyuki, Alvitt had a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Next time I go out, no matter what mission I'm on, I must bring my equipment!

"Haha, what could possibly happen to me! Hiss..."

You're injured!

"It's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a few days!"

Arvit gave the two of them a hearty smile.
