Chapter 30 The Vodka Girl
We arrived near the island.
The Honkai energy interfered with and disrupted the plane's flight, forcing them to land on a nearby island.
After the two got off the plane, looking at the desolate island, Chen Feng couldn't help but complain.
"Couldn't Cocolia have sent someone to meet us? We can't exactly swim there, can we?"
Bronya didn't have much to say when she heard this; she looked at the two people in front of her and they seemed very familiar.
Those are... Rosalia and Lilia?
Bronya stepped forward, and Chen Feng, seeing her movement, followed her gaze and, sure enough, spotted two figures.
This made him raise an eyebrow.
The time was moved up so much, and it was still the Vodka sisters who came to pick them up?
"Sister Bronya!"
Rosalia waved from afar, her pink ponytail swaying in the wind.
Lilia stood behind her without waving, but her gaze remained fixed on Bronya.
Bronya approached, her gaze lingering on the two faces for a moment.
"Rosalia, Lilia."
"Long time no see! Long time no see!"
Rosalia hopped over and circled Bronya, exclaiming, "Bronya, you're still so tiny!"
"...You haven't grown taller either."
"Hmm!"
Rosalia clutched her chest and took a step back, her face full of injury.
Lilia stepped forward and said expressionlessly, "What she said is true."
"Lilia! Which side are you on?!"
"The facts."
Rosalia glared angrily at her sister, while Lilia looked back at her expressionlessly.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds. Rosalia was the first to deflate, muttering something like, "Bronya is still so unlovable." Then she turned her head, her gaze falling on Chen Feng as she blinked.
"Ah, you are—Brother Chen Feng!"
Rosalia leaned closer, tilting her head to look him over. "What are you doing here? Did Bronya drag you along?"
Lilia also looked over, her eyes showing more curiosity than when she looked at Bronya.
"……haven't seen you for a long time."
Chen Feng nodded: "Long time no see."
Rosalia chuckled and nudged Lilia with her elbow: "See? I told you he'd remember us!"
"...I didn't say I didn't remember."
"But that's exactly what your expression meant!"
Lilia didn't reply. She glanced at Chen Feng, then at Bronya, and after a moment of silence, suddenly spoke: "You... came together."
"Um."
Bronya didn't explain further.
Rosalia didn't seem to care about any of that. She put her hands on her hips and gestured with her chin towards the sea: "Let's go, let's go. Cocolia's been waiting for ages. The signal's bad here, so I couldn't contact you... By the way, how's your swimming?"
Chen Feng glanced at Bronya. Bronya remained expressionless: "Bronya can't swim."
"Then the Heavy Bunny will have to carry you!"
As Rosalia spoke, she began rolling up her trouser legs.
Seeing this, Chen Feng stared in astonishment at Rosalia, who was making a great effort to swim across. He twitched his lips and asked, "Are you really going to swim across? Isn't there any other means of transportation?"
"Hehe, okay, I won't lie to you anymore, it actually does exist."
Rosalia chuckled, then turned and walked away, turning back to signal the two to follow.
A dozen minutes later, they set off.
The destination is the seabed.
6152 meters below sea level.
The ruins of a pre-civilization, Haiyuan City.
……
Haiyuan City.
Cocolia crossed her arms and looked at the repulsive gray snake in front of her. She suppressed her displeasure and stared coldly at the gray snake.
She wasn't really keen on cooperating with Gray Snake.
However, the other party offered to rescue Seele from the Sea of Quanta in exchange for her cooperation, which forced her to cooperate.
However, so far, she has not yet witnessed what abilities the other party possesses to retrieve people from the Sea of Quanta.
The gray snake seemed in no hurry at all. He stood there motionless, as indifferent as a real snake.
The two stood facing each other like that.
After an unknown amount of time, Cocolia heard footsteps behind her.
Both of them opened their eyes and looked.
Just then, Walter and Ai-in walked over.
Upon seeing the arrival of these two, Gray Serpent's eyes flickered slightly.
"Oh? It seems our guests have already begun to enter."
The cold, mechanical sound was jarring to Walter's ears, and he frowned slightly as he looked at the gray snake not far away.
He reached out and pushed up his glasses.
He had no liking for the gray snake or the world snake.
So he turned to look at Cocolia, his voice cold.
"Cocolia, do you know what you're doing?"
"I know what I'm doing, better than anyone else."
"you do not know."
Walter's tone turned serious. "The Sea of Quanta is not something you can control. Opening it may not actually save Seele, but it could also unleash something that could endanger the world."
Cocolia's brow twitched slightly, but she didn't speak.
Walter took a step forward, his voice not loud, but every word was heavy.
"Are you really willing to gamble the safety of the entire world to save one person?"
"She is none other than my daughter."
"Seele is your daughter, but there are other people's daughters in this world too."
Cocolia continued to stare coldly at Welt, her gaze neither darting away nor yielding, but simply looking directly at him.
Can't stop it.
Walter looked into those eyes and remained silent for a long time.
He had seen that look before, in the memories he had inherited.
This is the look in the eyes of countless mothers searching for their children amidst the ruins after the collapse of Berlin.
You can't convince a mother to give up her child.
He closed his eyes tightly.
When he opened his eyes again, the fire in them had mostly died down, replaced by a heavy calmness.
"If you insist on opening it, I will keep watching you."
Cocolia raised her eyebrows slightly.
Walter adjusted his glasses. "If things take the worst-case scenario, at least I can do my best to stop it from happening."
Cocolia was silent for a moment, then turned her head away, not looking at him again.
"what ever."
Gray Snake watched this scene quietly from the side, his mechanical eyes flashing red. He didn't speak, but simply turned away silently.
Walter watched his departing figure without moving.
Aiyin stood beside him and whispered, "Are you really going to let her do this?"
Walter gave a wry smile. "Can I stop her? No."
"But at least she still acknowledges me as the leader of the alliance, otherwise she wouldn't have notified us."
All I can do is try my best to prevent those things from happening.
That's all.
