Wandao long distance

Li Qi wore a mecha and came outside.

It's a doomsday scene outside.

On the depressed streets, there is no longer the prosperity of a cyberpunk city.

Bodies lay sideways on the street, and traces of dried blood drew dark red paths on the street.

There are no wild animals. The Forward Alliance doesn't pay attention to this in the first place. They have almost been wiped out. There are many traces of destruction on the streets. The traffic flow that originally ran smoothly has turned into random collisions, leaving a pile of ruins at the scene of the car accident.

However, corresponding to this depressed scene, is the fresh wind blowing from all around.

Li Qi closed his eyes.

The environment around him began to change.

This is not a real change, he is just deducing the situation at that time based on what he saw.

Surrounded by a fishy wind.

In the city in front of us, there were once tens of millions of people running for a living. They were all ordinary people, living an ordinary day.

Then, in the sky, a world-class mothership suddenly arrived.

Along with it comes the end.

The deduction began to accelerate.

Attacks by killer armors, people's panic, cars crashing into each other, fire hoses bursting on the streets, splashing water, white water columns adding to the chaos, exploding vehicles, flashing cables, collapsed buildings -

Then, everything returned to calm, gangsters and bugmen brought a new order, all civilians were forcibly taken to concentration camps, and the scene on the streets became the style of 'after humans disappeared'.

In the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, there were only some scavengers flying from the wild sitting alone, seemingly unaffected.

Then, Li Qi opened his eyes.

Before me were the ruins of peace.

Suetaki stood aside, waiting quietly for Li Qi.

"It's almost straightened out. Let's go. If it's the concentration camp, it's over there." Li Qi pointed to the direction. He could see the crowd gathering there...

And the air of death.

"How did you know?" Suotaki was surprised.

"Feeling, you know? It's a feeling you can't understand." Li Qi smiled. Qi-gazing can only be said to be a feeling, because it is indeed something that Suotaki cannot understand.

"Okay, let's go then, follow me, my sneaking skills are better." Suetaki lowered his head and started to sneak.

The conversation between the two people was silent, because it had been converted into radio wave communication, and the outside world could not hear the sound.

The two people activated optical invisibility, then jumped through the high-rise building and quickly arrived at the place pointed by Li Qi.

It's a huge stadium, covering quite a lot of ground, and it's not open-air.

Li Qi and Suetaki stood at the top of the tall building and looked down.

Suetaki said: "There are people guarding...but they are not those insect men."

"Are they your compatriots, gangsters? But they don't look like it. Look, where are the gangsters?" Li Qi pointed down.

Suetaki took a closer look and found that almost all the gangsters were dead, and their bodies were placed next to them. Their previous domineering behavior did not allow them to spare the insect master a life.

The guards now seem to be people selected from the concentration camp. They are holding simple weapons. They are not wearing mechas, but are wearing original citizen clothes. They also look very hungry. Everyone has lost a lot of weight. Circle, just...

"They have death energy on them," Li Qi said.

"What? What is death energy?" Suotaki couldn't figure it out.

"That is to say, these people don't look alive now, but I can't be sure. Maybe they're just dying. What should I say? Go down and take a look?" Li Qi asked.

"It's not necessary. Going down now is putting yourself in danger. Let's take a look first. There is plenty of food in the shelter, and we also have nutrient solution here. Let's take a look first." Suetaki maintained optical invisibility and lay on the high building. Go up, integrate yourself into the sunlight, block all kinds of scans at the same time, and interrupt the communication with Li Qi.

After all, their wireless communications also emit various fluctuations.

Li Qi followed suit and found a place to lie down, waiting for the movement below.

According to Li Qi's time, four hours had passed.

Then, the people below began to 'change shifts'.

Another group of people came in, but they also seemed to be citizens.

"Li Qi, did you see the death energy this time?" Suetaki asked at this time.

"Ah...ah? Oh! Wait a minute, let me take a look." Li Qi was in a daze when Suetaki woke him up.

He didn't realize it himself... When did he start to be in a daze?

Alas, he needs to change, he was not like this before.

Thinking this, Li Qi looked inside again.

Then, he responded in the affirmative: "There is death."

"The death energy you are talking about only comes after death, right?" Suetaki asked.

"After death, or about to die, there will be something. This thing is essentially a call and sign from another world. The stronger the death aura, the easier it is for the messenger from the other world to find you and take you away." Li Qi explained.

But after he finished explaining, he saw Suetaki staring at him.

Although he was covered by a helmet and mask, Suetaki's expression at this moment must be very subtle.

Marks from another world or something...sounds very unscientific.

Li Qi waved his hand: "That's pretty much it. You just know one thing. People with death energy either can't live long, or they just came out of the pile of dead people. This has been tested in practice. Don't doubt it. It's for sure." Is the truth."

"Okay, I understand, that means...the situation in the gym is not very good now, right?" Suetaki took a deep breath and then said.

"Yes." Li Qi nodded.

He didn't know what was in the gym, but now it seemed that it was either a mass of corpses and a sea of ​​blood like a concentration camp, or it was some other weird stuff.

"Then we can only go down and take a look. I probably won't find any clues here. You wait here while I go down and take a look." Suetaki said immediately.

Then, he entered the building and prepared to walk down the corridor so that he would not be easily discovered.

Li Qi was lying here, waiting for Suetaki's instructions.After all, he really didn't know what was going on below, but he should be able to guess...

It should be parasitic.

This is probably the other party's purpose. They select healthy lives and then parasitize them in their bodies, so this state of overlapping life and death occurs.

The current patrol should be out of instinct, right?

But Li Qi wasn't sure, after all, he really didn't know what was going on below.

If there is a large mass grave below, it is normal to have this kind of death aura. It belongs to the type that has been contaminated by staying in a place with death aura for a long time.

Hmm... let's wait for Suotaki to find out the result.

Suetaki's hiding was very good. Even if he was staring upstairs, he couldn't see where he had gone.

But there is no need to look for him, he will come out by himself in a while.

Sure enough, after a few minutes——

A fight suddenly broke out below!
Suetaki's figure appeared, and those people full of death energy began to chase Suetaki!
Suetaki's mecha is a patrol officer seventh-grade mecha that is specialized in dealing with humans. In other words, although this thing is not very capable of large-scale destruction, it has no problem fighting against seventh-grade mechas, and it can also rely on the power of the Great Sun Flame. Effectively kill level [-] opponents.

However, such a powerful seventh-grade mecha was chased by these former ordinary people!
There was a reason why Suetaki was unwilling to fight back, but it was already very terrifying that they were able to capture Suetaki and even pursue him.

This shows that these people have at least eight levels of combat power. What's going on?

"Sure enough, is it still a parasite?" When Li Qi saw this, he immediately jumped down without much hesitation.

He jumped directly and used his weight to fall down.

Then, just as he was about to land, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the wall with one hand. With fierce sparks and friction, a layer of the wall was torn off, and he slowed down and fell to the ground.

Then, Li Qi rushed over.

His body was swimming in the air like a fish, perfectly crossing the air resistance.

There is no so-called aerodynamic design that does not rely on streamlined shapes. This mecha itself is not designed for this, so fast movement relies on flying large bricks, sucking in air, and then using vector nozzles to rush forward.

However, this has nothing to do with mechas, this is Li Qi's own martial arts, this is Li Liuyi's movement technique, Li Qi is now using it, and it is perfect, using all fluids, no matter who it is, or the wind, as his own assistance .

When a carp leaps over the dragon's gate, it cannot swim against the current, as that is seeking death. Instead, it must make full use of its own advantages and use the power of all the currents to help itself.

Just like a spinnaker can move forward regardless of whether it is with the wind or against the wind, as long as the method is correct, the headwind can sometimes bring forward power.

Without air resistance, coupled with the terrifying thrust of the vector nozzle, Li Qi accelerated to above the speed of sound in an instant and rushed to Suetaki's side.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the group of civilians rushing over.

No, they are no longer civilians, they are parasites.

Suetaki couldn't do it, but Li Qi didn't hesitate. He knew that these people were hopeless, or... they were dead long ago, and those who controlled them were other creatures in their bodies.

The light blade popped out, and Li Qi was chopping melons and vegetables, but he saw thousands of people lining up to rush towards Li Qi.

Alone, Li Qi was like a person submerged in the sea. It seemed that he would be torn apart by thousands of eighth-grade people in the next second.

however……

This sea of ​​people - it's like hitting a rock at this moment.

At that moment, the fragility of life is exposed!

It was only a second, and Li Qi's machine cannon, light blade, and laser were activated respectively, and coupled with his own martial arts, it was like a rock——

One shot after another hit the thousands of people in depth, and the strong wind exploded in the air about ten meters above the ground. With the best killing efficiency, the flying energy waves chopped down large areas of people like grass, and even In the distance, you can see the remains of corpses rolling and flying into the sky...

A violent storm of attacks, death struck these people with unprecedented intensity.

He looked like a meat grinder, with layers of dead people under his feet, and a puddle of blood and minced flesh. Even visible to the naked eye, the area occupied by the long queue of people shrank sharply.

However, what is incredible is that even though there is absolutely no hope of defeating the opponent, these civilians still continue to attack crazily.

The impact like a tidal wave crashed onto the rocks one after another, but never stopped.

Obviously, they are already dead. They are not even conscious. They have no normal ability to analyze and judge at all, but are completely controlled by an inexplicable force, making them indifferent to death.

But in front of Li Qi, this tenacity was meaningless.

After about a minute, it was all over.

Li Qi waved his hand and looked at Suotaki.

"Ah, it's done. Although it has become stronger, it is still within the range of the patrol officer's mecha. There is no need to chase it, as it will attract other people." Li Qi said.

However, Suetaki opened the mecha's mask, and the face underneath was full of disbelief.

"You... they may still be able to be saved!" Suetaki walked up to Li Qi: "Maybe we can-"

"It's hopeless." Li Qi shook his head directly: "Everyone is dead, there must be no hope."

What Li Qi meant was that these people were already dead, and then their bodies were parasitized. They were nothing more than a group of insect men wearing human skins, so there was nothing to worry about.

But in Suetaki's ears, these words became particularly harsh.

What do you mean everyone is dead?

Nonsense, of course he died!You did it yourself, you personally beat these people into this!
There are more corpses here than those seen in the concentration camp before!

"They might have been saved! I found their mother's nest inside! The operating bed might be able to remove the parasites in their bodies!" Suetaki walked up to Li Qi, grabbed his shoulders, and tried to suppress his emotions. Tone.

He knew that what Li Qi did was not wrong, but it was clearly possible to save these thousands of people!
It's possible, people have to work hard!

"Oh, you misunderstood. I mean, they must not have been saved. They are dead, their souls are gone, they are just walking corpses." Li Qi shook his head and grabbed Suetaki's wrist: "Believe me, it's true. ,I understand."

But Suetaki threw away Li Qi's hand: "You know! You know everything!" Suetaki stopped here, exhaled, calmed down his mood, and instead of continuing to roar, asked: " Then why don't you give them a chance? Just a chance."

"There is no chance at all. The soul has been reincarnated. You may not understand what the soul is. After all, your technology tree does not have this option, but I can see it. I will not lie, you know." Li Qi saw the end Taki calmed down and began to explain his actions.

Suetaki just looked at the sky, and then seemed to convince himself to calm down. After all... Li Qi had actually been with him for more than half a year, and now it was considered a life-long friendship. At least Li Qi's words... could be trusted.

So Suetaki asked: "Li Qi, you are an alien. In your eyes, is there any difference between us and them?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "Of course not." (End of Chapter)
