Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 54 will be very easy to fill in next time (I'm sure).

"Uh, it seems we've really angered them..."

With Titans in front and Bronya behind, and looking at the cannons with a caliber of at least 152mm behind Bronya, Qiong felt increasingly uneasy.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

The hot-tempered Kiana seemed intent on charging forward and taking the mech with her own body.

"Wait, Kiana! We have an old saying in China: 'To catch a thief, first catch the king.' Go and take down Bronya. I'll hold off these mechs! Mei, go help Kiana!"

If we could capture Bronya, using her to threaten Cocolia might be a good idea.

The only problem is that Qiong doesn't know if she can stop the Titan mech, but there's no other way.

After that glance, Qiong could feel himself getting a little stronger, but he didn't know exactly how much. If he was strong enough, maybe he could even beat the mech?

Forget about Bronya. The infamous Ural Silver Wolf can kill with stockings, let alone with heavy weapons... Rely on Kiana!

Upon hearing Qiong's arrangement, the two women nodded. Kiana rushed towards Bronya like an arrow, with Raiden Mei following closely behind.

Ignoring how the two fought or how well they fought, Qiong stared intently at the Titan mech in front of her, gripping the baseball bat tightly with both hands. Heaven knows when this thing will charge up and fire.

"You've got some nerve, daring to face five Titans all by yourself?"

Cocolia's disdainful laughter came through the loudspeaker.

"Kid, even a Herrscher would be defeated by our most advanced quantum Titan force! I'm giving you one last chance, so be smart and surrender now!"

Qiong was slightly speechless at Cocolia's remarks.

As we all know, apart from Wendy's embarrassing fourth Herrscher, no other Herrscher could be easily defeated by a Titan. They could even launch an Anti-Entropy bankruptcy war to wipe out all the mechs.

"Surrender is impossible—wow, you ambushed me!"

Just as Qiong was speaking, the Titan mech launched an attack. Fortunately, Qiong dodged the shell that landed on his original position, and at the same time, he swung his weapon and smashed it hard against the mech.

However, it didn't work.

Oh, I forgot to say something.

"Idiot, you don't really think a baseball bat can take down a mech made of special materials, do you? Hahahaha!"

"Don't get cocky! Rules are meant to be broken!"

In an instant, the electricity crackling around the bat was even stronger than before, and Qiong could feel something flowing from her chest to her right arm... It works!

"Monster, take this from my old Sun Wukong's staff!"

Another blow struck the Titan mech. The Titan's mechanical arm, which had been hit right before Qiong's eyes, deformed and shattered, exposing the wires and other internal structures, which crackled and popped.

Not enough! The Titan armor's defenses aren't strong enough to take it down in one hit; this attack only destroyed one of its mechanical arms.

What's even more annoying is that forces are reciprocal. The metal baseball bat actually broke?

"What kind of shoddy construction is this? The person in charge of this at Chiba Academy must have taken kickbacks!"

Cursing and swearing, Qiong threw down the half-broken baseball bat and started running away.

Just kidding, how is he supposed to fight without weapons? He can't exactly try to tear a mech apart with his bare hands, can he? That's ridiculous!

As Qiong ran, he looked back and saw that apart from the damaged Titan, which was not pursuing him, the other four mechs were all charging towards him with heavy steps.

"You can easily shatter a Titan? It seems I underestimated you."

No, it's not easy at all; charging is exhausting!

At this moment, Qiong noticed that the three starter Pokémon were still fighting not far away. Kiana and Mei were being suppressed by Bronya's heavy firepower and were running around, but the two were still able to hold on.

I can't go there! Qiong thought to herself.

If he lured the four Titans over there, there would be absolutely no chance of winning; he had to hold off these few broken mechs.

There was a small alley on the left, and he decisively went into it.

Fortunately, one of the Titans followed the Dome into the alley, but it was the only one.

"I never thought I'd go this crazy... I'm going all out!"

Just as Titan was about to approach Qiong, Qiong suddenly stepped on a trash can in the alley and leaped onto Titan's head.

The Titan Armor, officially known as the Titan Armor Advanced Type 'MR-01 TITAN', is a mass-produced tactical mech that combines combat performance with production efficiency.

Although designed with a cockpit, they are now mostly controlled and commanded by AI in combat. They are the most common type of mech in Anti-Entropy's mech force and also the hardest-working mechs in the game. (Referring to being dismantled)

For Qiong, as long as he could get into the cockpit and cause some damage, everything would be fine.

"Foolish, do you think you'll be safe just by jumping up there?"

The mecha shook violently. In the chaos, Qiong touched something he didn't know what it was, but he didn't have time to think about it and tore it off without hesitation.

"Ahhhh!"

As they were torn off, sparks flew everywhere, and both Qiong and Titan lost their ability to move and collapsed to the ground.

"What did I just pull out?!"

Sora was simply electrocuted, but she probably developed lightning resistance from being shocked by Raiden Mei, because she regained her mobility soon after and got up from the ground covered in dust.

"You little brat, a mere lump of scrap metal? You think I, Galaxy Baseball Man, can't handle you?"

That's so lame! I'll fill out the very simple one next time!

However, now is not the time to be complacent. Cocolia's few mechs that didn't follow have most likely gone to attack Kiana and Raiden Mei. We must find a way to help them.

Emerging from the alleyway near Titan, Qiong looked around to see where everyone was.

Several mechs had vanished without a trace, not even the one he had destroyed with his bat. Only the craters on the ground and the half-eaten baseball bat he had thrown away proved that he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

Kiana? Mei?

No one responded.

"Where did they go? I hope Cocolia didn't capture them..."

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

"Master, he should also be in Changkong City, right?"

"Yes, I can confirm that."

"We can't just do nothing, can we? The way Qiong is now is simply..."

"Pine bird, there is no need to worry."

In the dimly lit infirmary, Baiji waved her hand.

“We are unable to act, but I have already spoken with Saffra.”

"Sister Deng? Where is she now?"

"I estimate they should have arrived by now."

"That's good, good luck, good luck... By the way, Master, why don't you turn on the light?"

After reciting "Good luck and prosperity," Song Que reached out and pressed the light switch.

"Let's guess, you don't want those girls to find out that Dr. Bai is still on duty in the infirmary so late?"

"Ahem, Song Que, you must not speak recklessly."

Knowing that someone was safe and sound, Song Que was naturally relieved and looked at her teacher, who was serious all the time, with a smile.

Unfortunately, his serious demeanor is shattered by a group of quirky and hormone-fueled female students.

This is also why he and Walter liked to travel together; when in doubt, they could rely on their "friends" to help them out.

"Ms. Bai, are you still in the infirmary?"

Oh no, what I feared most has come to pass, but it's no longer my shift!
