Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"Alright, Kiana, Kayno, let's split up and go find the clone of Kiana that Anti-Entropy needs," Sieg said, quickly walking to the nearest incubator and observing it for a moment. "Remember, the clone's number is K423. It's written on the display at the bottom of the incubator."

"The guards shouldn't be passing by here right now, so we need to hurry."

Kainuo nodded, and began to jog in search of their target.

"I understand, Dad." Kiana responded and then began to act.

"Damn Otto... He actually borrowed Kiana's genes to create so many..." Siegfried stared at the "sleeping" white figure and cursed in a low voice with gritted teeth, then hurriedly joined the search for clones.

The white figure in the incubator is a clone of Kiana's girl, and from the number "k423" we can see that if the experimenter did not randomly number the experimental subjects, then there are at least 423 such clones.

Considering that there are less than a hundred culture chambers in the laboratory, one can imagine the fate of the remaining clones.

"I found it, here!" Kainuo, who was jogging, suddenly stopped and shouted to the two people who were still searching.

Upon hearing the sound, Kiana and Siegfried immediately moved towards Kayno's location, and Kayno finally had time to check on the girl in the incubator.

The white person with white hair, white skin and white jumpsuit was floating quietly in the incubator.

It seemed that she was startled by Kainuo’s shout just now. The girl with the test number "k423" frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

Her sky-blue eyes looked lifeless, as if the cartoonist had forgotten to add highlights when drawing her, which made people feel pity for her.

Perhaps because it was Kainuo who woke her up, she just stared at Kainuo blankly, motionless.

You shouldn't think of me as your father, right?

However, looking at her distracted eyes, Kainuo guessed that she was probably still in a state of not fully recovered from oversleeping.

"She looks exactly like me!" Kiana came over and lay down in front of the incubator, looking carefully at the clone in the incubator.

"Yeah, exactly the same," Kayno nodded in response to Kiana's words as he looked at the replica, "Looks just as dumb."

"Hey, Kaino!" Kiana was like a kitten with its fur standing on end when she heard it, glaring at Kaino with bared teeth.

"Okay, let's talk after we get out." Siegfried squatted down and began to study the buttons next to the monitor. "I'll get her out first."

Upon hearing this, Kainuo silently took a step back and looked at the surrounding culture chambers.

Each incubator contained a floating Kiana, all of whom were clones of Kiana. However, unlike the K423 experiment before them, none of them had developed their own consciousness.

In other words, they have never lived and only have the most basic physiological functions.

This point was mentioned in the files of the Xilin Project, and the fact that all the figures did not react after several people made quite a noise was also evidence of this point.

Kaino sighed.

"Then Dad, where should she go after we rescue her?" Kiana blinked and asked Siegfried.

"The Anti-Entropy people will take her in."

"Can she come with us?"

"...We can go visit her."

"What should I call her then? Does she have a name? She looks more like me than her brother, so can she be my sister?"

"I don't know...Okay." Siegfried briefly answered Kiana's question and stood up after pressing a button. "It's done. Let's get her out first."

After Siegfried finished speaking, the incubator made a "rustling" sound, and then the culture fluid inside began to slowly descend, and along with it, the clones floating in the culture fluid also descended.

As if feeling cold due to the loss of culture medium, Kiana's clone's eyes, which had just opened for a moment, closed again, and its body curled up into a ball, reminding people of the kitten that had just made a sound.

Like a white fur ball.

"We'll think about names after we get out. Anything we come up with right away won't sound very good," Kayno patted Kiana's head. "Especially since you're asking about Dad... Aunt Theresa told me how stupid the names he gave us were."

Kaino wasn't too disgusted by having multiple sisters... although he knew it wasn't very likely.

After the cloned girl was taken to Anti-Entropy, her family couldn't even visit her often, otherwise seeing a girl who looked exactly like herself would make them think too much.

It would be terrible if thinking too much about it caused it to collapse and explode.

The door of the incubator slowly opened, and Siegfried quickly held the clone inside in his arms.

"Alright, let's go," Siegfried urged them. "It's almost time for our appointment with Anti-Entropy. We have to hurry. Without their help in intercepting the pursuers of Tianming, it will be almost impossible for us to leave Tianming safely."

"Follow me closely. You two don't need to crawl back through the waste port when you go back. Come with me and climb out of the window." Siegfried hugged K423 tightly and walked in front. The two little ones followed him closely from behind. The four of them quickly left the experimental area.

Chapter 6: Pursuit

The four of them had a relatively smooth journey to the plane.

Siegfried ignored the reactions of those around him and rushed along with Kiana and Kaynor. K423 was sound asleep in Siegfried's arms, not crying or making a fuss. Although some acquaintances were a little curious when they saw Siegfried and the others ignoring them and hurrying on, they didn't take it too seriously.

Siegfried was, after all, a renowned Knight of Kaslana in Destiny, wielder of the Divine Key, the Holy Fire Judgement. In the eyes of most Destiny Valkyries, Siegfried was a comrade they could trust with their backs. Even if they saw him emerge from the Destiny lab with two children, they would mistakenly assume he had gotten lost playing hide-and-seek with the children, rather than suspecting he was out stealing.

As for the remaining few Valkyries...

In their eyes, Siegfried was probably a love rival.

In fact, if it were just like this, then the action of Kainuo and others would be quite smooth.

Unfortunately, not all of the people in Destiny are Valkyries who are brainwashed by the slogan of fighting for a better tomorrow.

So the whereabouts of several people along the way were eventually exposed.

At the moment when Keno followed Siegfried onto the plane, the alarm of destiny rang through the sky in Klosten.

At the same time, a wanted order for Siegfried was issued to all Valkyrie's personal terminals and all devices with display screens in Destiny.

"Dad, destiny has issued a wanted order for us!" Kiana, who was sitting in the transport hold with Kayno, shouted at the personal terminal in her hand, "Hurry, hurry, let's go!"

Kaino also looked at Kiana's terminal. Siegfried's portrait was placed neatly on the left, and on the right was written Siegfried's evidence of guilt—

Steal the confidential experimental results of the Destiny Organization.

"Okay, you two sit back and fasten your seatbelts, we're off."

Siegfried sat in the driver's seat, fastened the seat belt of K423 who was sleeping in the co-pilot seat, and then quickly and skillfully operated the control console in front of him. After pressing many buttons that Kainuo could not understand, the plane finally started.

"There are so many people outside, huh." Kaino was a little out of breath from running so hard. After shifting, he pressed his ear against the wall of the transport warehouse. "There are so many noises, so chaotic, even the alarm can't drown them out."

Although Kainuo couldn't hear clearly what was happening due to the good sound insulation in the transport warehouse, he could still guess what the people outside were shouting.

Maybe it means that if you stop immediately and surrender your weapons, you won’t be killed?

"Okay, it should be safe."

After the plane took off, Siegfried, who was sitting in the pilot's seat, breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time. It seems that God is really on our side, haha!"

"Are we safe now?!" Kiana turned around and extended a hand towards Kaino.

Kaino cooperated very well and stretched out a hand and slapped Kiana's palm hard.

"Long live!" Kiana said with a smile.

Kainuo relaxed his body and lay down on the seat of the transport cabin.

Today's operation had been incredibly stressful for him, both physically and mentally. That long run had nearly killed him, and even though he was breathing more smoothly now, he still felt hot all over. Furthermore, a wave of fatigue washed over him, and if possible, he really wanted to get some sleep.

Unfortunately, the joy of the successful plan has not yet faded from my heart... and Kiana next to me has been humming a song, which is a bit noisy.

"No... this is the right place, right?" Siegfried suddenly frowned in the driver's seat, his tone a little nervous. "I should have arrived at the designated location... but where are the Anti-Entropy interception forces?"

Keno's originally chaotic mind suddenly awakened.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Kiana beside him also stopped being excited and asked in confusion: "Didn't the Anti-Entropy troops come according to the plan?"

"Is the position wrong?" Kaino asked. "For example, a little further forward? Or is the Anti-Entropy force hiding somewhere, specifically to intercept the pursuit from behind..."

Before Kainuo could finish his words, he was interrupted by an alarm sounding inside the plane.

"...There's a plane chasing us from behind," Siegfried took a deep breath, "Kiana, Kaino, hold on tight, I..."

Kayno did not hear what Siegfried said next. He only felt the whole plane suddenly shaken, and at the same time a violent explosion sounded at the door of the transport hold.

Countless fragments produced by the explosion passed by Keno, and unfortunately, some of them cut his throat and pierced his body.

"what!"

Kainuo cried out in pain, a stinging, burning sensation spreading throughout his body. The intense wind pressure from the damaged cabin blew Kainuo outward, but the seatbelt held him tightly, nearly ripping him in two.

But Keno knew clearly that he was not the worst or most unlucky one.

Kiana, sitting next to Kayno, was closest to the hatch, and even more fragments were ejected from her body than from Kayno. Furthermore, one of the fragments struck Kiana's head, knocking her unconscious and nearly sending her flying.

"La..." Because of the injury to his throat, Keno couldn't make a sound and couldn't ask Siegfried for help - besides, the other party was probably too busy to do anything at this moment.

So he could only endure the pain in his body, stretched out his scratched right hand towards Kiana, and grabbed the other's arm tightly.

Although his eyes were blurred by the pain, Kaino still noticed that Kiana's safety belt had also been cut by the debris. The remaining part seemed to be unable to bear the weight and was slowly breaking.

Kaino knew that no matter how badly injured Kiana was, there was still hope of recovery. But if she fell from the plane, there would be no chance of survival.

Even if the opponent was the superhuman Kaslana, the plane's current position was at least over 5000 meters.

But how could he catch it?

Not to mention that he was bleeding all over, his right hand was injured, and his limbs were weak - even if he was intact, he would not be able to pull his sister back with his strength.

Keno can do nothing and nothing can be done.

He could only watch in horror, powerlessness and collapse as his blood flowed onto his sister, leaving her covered in blood. He watched her slowly slip from his hands as the seat belt broke. At the moment the seat belt broke, he couldn't even feel any force on his hands, and Kiana flew out of the cabin right in front of him.

But the planes chasing behind still seemed uneasy and began to pour ammunition towards the cabin where Kayno was.

It sounds like a long time, but in reality, all this happened in less than five seconds.

“Qin…No!…Damn, die…!”

Kaino heard a roar of rage and sorrow coming from Siegfried's direction, but he couldn't make it out. Perhaps it was the chill of blood loss or the grief over his sister's disappearance, but Kaino felt his consciousness grow increasingly hazy...

And the burning sensation in the chest became more and more severe.

Finally, Keno lost consciousness.

Theresa was very happy when she woke up today. She knew today would be a very happy day.

There are three reasons.

One reason is that today is Wednesday, so lunch is delicious potato and beef stew - although the orphanage is very wealthy, potato and beef stew can only be eaten once a week.

Secondly, today was the day she regained consciousness for the first time. For Theresa, this day was like a birthday.

The third reason was that the priest had told her yesterday that he would go to the town to collect supplies today and bring him his favorite bitter melon cake.

The overlap of these three things is inherently a very joyful thing.

Just as Theresa was thinking of the priest, there was a knock on her door.

"Father, I'm here!" Theresa replied quickly.

She knew that the person knocking on the door must be the priest, and the other children must have just barged in.

"Father, are you going out?" Theresa blinked, her eyes shining.

Standing opposite Theresa, the blond priest, wearing an elegant purple gown with a white background, looked at Theresa, nodded, and then instructed Theresa, "Yes, remember to serve lunch to the children and make sure they get to sleep."

After a pause, the priest smiled and added, "Remember not to eat too much at lunch? Otherwise, you won't be able to finish the bitter melon cake."

"It's not like I can't finish it. I might have eaten it!" Theresa said quickly. Then she realized what she had just said and blushed. "No, I mean... bitter melon cakes are delicious. I can finish as much as I want."

"Haha," the priest laughed softly, then said, "Then I'll be leaving."

Then the priest closed the door.

Theresa shook her head and left the room as well. Although today was her lucky day, it didn't change the fact that she had to clean on Wednesday.

So Theresa picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor with her short legs.

Suddenly, with a bang, the priest who had just left the orphanage slammed open the door of the orphanage and ran upstairs to his own bedroom.

Theresa was a little confused. She saw that the priest seemed to be holding a blood-red object... It seemed to be a person?

Theresa looked at the floor she had just cleaned. There was a lot of red liquid on it, which had dripped from the thing in the priest's arms.

That looks like... blood?

Chapter 7 Christmas at the Orphanage

In the center of the stage, under the spotlight, a white-haired girl less than 1.5 meters tall wore a purple pointed-mouth mask on her face and held a full bag in her hand. She looked at another gorgeously dressed red-haired girl in front of her with a panicked look.

"This hairstyle and hair color, and this monstrous strength... Are you the stupid daughter of the Kaslana family?"

The girl in luxurious clothes wrinkled her face and spoke to the white-haired girl in front of her in a slightly angry tone.
