Chapter 52: Avenging Along the Way

"No matter what, let's free you first," Kiana said, starting to untie Bronya. "Take us to the underground laboratory you mentioned and see if there are any useful equipment or supplies."

Kiana wasn't worried about Bronya potentially resisting after being untied.

Without her heavy armor, Bronya, no matter her training, couldn't possibly match the combined strength of Mei and Kiana in this situation.

Either one of them could easily subdue her. As for escaping, Bronya's short legs were no match for their long ones.

Once untied, Bronya shook her wrists, loosened her joints, and then stood up with the support of her exoskeleton.

Her first words were, "Bronya will now take you to the laboratory."

"You're actually cooperating," Kiana observed, thinking of what Li Huan had said earlier: Bronya would put in a lot of effort to gain their trust.

"Then please lead the way, Bronya."

Mei patted Bronya on the head, showing no hostility, which left Bronya a bit stunned.

What is this Herrscher of Thunder trying to hide?

Burying her hostility deep inside, Bronya led them towards the depths of the parking lot, the place she had come from earlier.

Kiana and Mei exchanged a glance and followed her.

When Bronya reached a wall, she stopped and pressed her hand against a specific spot.

As the pressed part glowed, the wall began to part, revealing an underground passage.

"This is one of the doors to the underground laboratory; the other one was destroyed by the Herrscher of Thunder."

Seeing this, Kiana and Mei understood why Bronya had appeared in the parking lot.

"Follow me."

On the road of Thousand Feathers Academy.

The heavily modified Kart, known as the Project Bunny Bunny 19c, was speeding along with Li Huan and Tom on board. Tom was driving, looking like an experienced driver with decades of experience, while Li Huan was enjoying the night breeze from behind.

"Ah~~~"

A Death Soldier appeared ahead, but Tom paid no attention and simply pressed the accelerator. The Kart accelerated straight into the Death Soldier.

Crash!

The speeding Kart sent the Death Soldier flying. It spun gracefully in the air before crashing down and twitching for a moment before vanishing.

"There's a saying," Li Huan remarked coldly, looking at the Death Soldier's sorry state. "If you want to walk, use the sidewalk, not the roadway."

This had happened many times before, and both Li Huan and Tom were used to it.

"Tom's modification skills are really impressive," Li Huan said, looking at Tom's back. "He easily dismantled the Project Bunny and used bus parts and tires to turn it into a multifunctional Kart with extraordinary combat power…"

During their first lap around the academy, they completed the entire route in just half an hour, a journey that typically took at least an hour with regular vehicles.

Although the Project Bunny as a base might have contributed, it was Tom's outrageous modification skills that made the result possible. After all, apart from the shell, the engine inside was from a bus.

After their round, Li Huan specifically returned to the parking lot to check if Bronya had woken up. He deliberately flaunted the Heavy Armor Bunny to make sure Bronya understood her situation before continuing their trip.

In reality, they weren't just out for a simple spin as Kiana had mentioned. They had specifically gone to the school's supermarket.

The supermarket inside Thousand Feathers Academy was a large one with a variety of everyday items.

Due to the Honkai Eruption, it had become a place for large-scale free shopping. Li Huan and Tom drove the Project Bunny into the supermarket, selecting a large amount of supplies and loading them into their inventory.

Living supplies, water, food, and other items were packed into large boxes by Tom using the Project Bunny and directly stuffed into the inventory.

After nearly emptying the supermarket, they raided the kitchen in the cafeteria for fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, and several large refrigerators before heading back.

The purpose of their trip was to see the extent of Tom's vehicle modification skills, and the result was extremely satisfactory.

The pair happily drove the Kart back towards the parking lot.

When they passed the sports field, they stopped again.

Li Huan looked thoughtfully at the field, and Tom also gazed over there, deep in thought.

They exchanged a glance, understanding they were thinking the same thing.

Tom turned the Kart towards the sports field.

When they arrived at the sports field, seeing the Death Soldiers, Li Huan made a neck-slashing gesture to Tom.

Previously, they had been blocked by Death Soldiers at the sports field and had to escape. Now that they had the power, and they were passing by, it was time for some revenge!

Tom shared the same sentiment.

Thus, several cannons appeared on the Project Bunny, and they launched a large-scale attack on the sports field, turning it into a sea of flames, with countless Death Soldiers perishing there.

"Filth needs to be disinfected," Li Huan said with a pleased expression as he watched the flames. "One of my strengths is that I don't take ten years to avenge; I do it as soon as I can."

Tom rubbed his hands together, showing an evil grin. "Hehehehehehehahahahaha—be in power!"

"Alright, now that we're here, let's get that too," Li Huan said after settling the score. He directed Tom to drive the Kart towards the sports equipment warehouse.

The door to the warehouse, which had been blocked before, was still closed. However, it was easily smashed open by the Kart.

Inside the warehouse, Li Huan quickly found what he was looking for.

"Hmm, good, it's intact."

He picked up a basket containing a pillow, which he had bought for Tom to use as a bed. It had been left here due to the Honkai Eruption. Now that they were here, he decided to take it back.

He was that frugal.

Placing the basket in the inventory, Li Huan returned to Tom, and they both set off on their way back.
