Myriad Paths

Chapter 715 No Difference

Li Qi came outside in a mecha.

Outside was a doomsday scene.

On the desolate streets, there was no longer the prosperity of a cyberpunk city.

Corpses were lying on the streets, and traces of dried blood stretched out dark red roads on the streets.

There were no wild animals. The Forward Alliance did not pay attention to this, and almost all of them were eliminated. There were many traces of destruction on the streets. The originally smooth traffic flow had turned into a mess, leaving a pile of ruins of the accident scene.

However, corresponding to this depressing scene was the fresh wind blowing from all around.

Li Qi closed his eyes.

The environment around him began to change.

This was not a real change. He was just deducing the situation at the time based on what he saw.

The wind was full of fishy smell.

In the city in front of him, there were tens of millions of people who were struggling for their livelihoods. They were all ordinary people, living an ordinary day.

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

With it came the doomsday.

The deduction began to accelerate.

The attack of the assassin mecha, the panic of the people, the crash of cars, the burst of the fire hose on the street, the splash of water, the white water column added countless chaos, the exploding vehicles, the flashing cables, the collapsed buildings--

Then, everything returned to peace, the gangs and the insects brought a new order, all the civilians were forced to be taken to the concentration camps, and the scene on the street became the kind of painting style after the disappearance of mankind.

In the sea of ​​blood and corpses, only some scavengers flying from the wild sat alone on it, as if they were not affected at all.

Then, Li Qi opened his eyes.

In front of him was the peaceful ruins.

Sue Taki stood by, quietly waiting for Li Qi.

"It's almost sorted out, then let's go, the concentration camp is over there." Li Qi pointed to the direction, he could see the popularity of the people gathered there...

and the dead air.

"How did you know?" Sue Taki was surprised.

"Feeling, understand? A feeling you can't understand." Li Qi smiled, the air-reading technique can only be said to be a feeling, because for Sue Taki, it is indeed something that cannot be understood.

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

The conversation between the two 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, and then rushed to the place where Li Qi pointed by jumping in the high-rise building.

There was a huge stadium, covering a large area, and it was not open-air.

Li Qi and Suetaki stood at the top of the high-rise building and looked down.

Suetaki said: "There are guards... but not those insect people."

"Is it your compatriot, the gangster? But it doesn't look like it. Look, where is the gangster." 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. The previous tyranny did not allow them to leave him a life in front of the insect master.

The guards now seemed to be people selected from the concentration camp. They were holding simple weapons and were not wearing mechas, but wearing the original civilian clothes. They looked very hungry and all of them had lost a lot of weight, but...

"There is death on them." Li Qi said.

"What? What is death?" Mo Taki was puzzled.

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

"No need. Going down now will put yourself in danger. Let's take a look first. There is enough food in the shelter. We also have nutrient solution here. Let's observe first." Mo Taki maintained the state of optical invisibility, lying on the high building, blending himself into the sunlight, and shielding various scans at the same time, interrupting the communication with Li Qi.

After all, their wireless communication will 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 passed.

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

Another group of people came up, but they also looked like citizens.

"Li Qi, did you see the death aura this time?" Motaki asked at this time.

"Ah...ah? Oh! Wait a minute, let me see." Li Qi was in a daze and was awakened by Motaki.

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

Alas, I have to change. He was not like this before.

Thinking of this, Li Qi looked inside again.

Then, he gave a positive answer: "There is death aura."

"The death aura you are talking about is only there after a person dies, right?" Motaki asked.

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

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

Although he was blocked by a helmet and a mask, I think Motaki's expression at this moment must be very subtle.

The mark of another world... sounds very unscientific.

Li Qi waved his hand: "That's about it. You just need to know a little bit. People with death energy either won't live long, or they just came out of the pile of dead bodies. This has been actually tested. Don't doubt it. It must be true."

"Okay, I understand. That means... the situation in the gymnasium is not very good now, right?" Mototaki took a deep breath and said.

"Yes." Li Qi nodded.

He didn't know what was in the gymnasium, but now it looked like there were either a sea of ​​blood and corpses like a concentration camp, or some other weird things.

"Then we can only go down and take a look. I guess we can't find any clues here. You wait here, I'll go down and take a look." Mototaki said immediately.

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

Li Qi also lay here, waiting for Mototaki's instructions.

After all, he really didn't know what was happening down there, but he should be able to guess...

It should be parasitism.

This is probably the other party's purpose. They choose healthy lives and then parasitize them, so this state of overlapping life and death will appear.

This kind of patrol now should be out of instinct, right?

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

If there was a large mass grave below, it would be normal to have this kind of death aura. It was the type that was infected after staying in a place with death aura for a long time.

Well... let's wait for Suetaki to find out the result.

Suetaki's hiding was very good. Even if he was staring at him from the upstairs, he couldn't see where he ran to.

But there was no need to find him. He would 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 aura began to chase Suetaki!

Suetaki's mecha was a patrol officer seventh-grade mecha specialized for humans. In other words, although this thing did not have a strong ability to kill people on a large scale, it had no problem fighting against the seventh-grade, and could also rely on the power of the Great Sun True Flame to effectively kill seventh-grade opponents.

However, such a powerful seventh-grade mecha was chased by this group of ordinary people before!

There was a reason why Suetaki was unwilling to fight back, but they were able to capture Suetaki's figure and even chase him, which was already very terrifying.

This shows that these people have at least eight-grade combat power, what's the fuss?

"Sure enough, is it still parasitic?" Li Qi saw this and jumped down immediately without much hesitation.

He jumped down directly and fell down directly using his weight.

Then, when 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 skin was torn off, and it fell to the ground after slowing down.

Then, Li Qi rushed over.

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

Without relying on streamlined shape and so-called aerodynamic design, this mecha itself was not designed for this, so fast movement relies on strong brick flying, inhaling air, and then using vector nozzles to rush.

However, this has nothing to do with mechas. This is Li Qi's own martial arts, this is the body movement of Li Liuyi. Li Qi is now using it, harmoniously and smoothly, using all fluids, no matter who it is or the wind, as his help.

Carp leaps over the dragon gate, can't go upstream, that would be courting death, but to make full use of their own advantages and use the power of all water currents to help themselves.

Just like a triangular sail can move forward regardless of whether it is with the wind or against the wind, as long as the method is appropriate, the wind against the wind can sometimes bring the power to move forward.

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 the side of Suetaki.

Then, 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 these people were beyond saving, or... they had died long ago, and they were controlled by other creatures in their bodies.

The light blade popped out, and Li Qi was like cutting melons and vegetables, but saw thousands of people lined up in a long line and rushed towards Li Qi.

As a lone person, Li Qi was like a person drowned by the sea, and it seemed that he would be torn apart by thousands of eighth-grade warriors in the next second.

However...

This sea of ​​people - at this moment, it was like hitting a reef.

At that moment, the fragility of life was exposed!

It was only one second, and Li Qi's machine guns, light blades, and lasers were activated, and coupled with his own martial arts, he was like a reef -

One shot after another hit the depth of these thousands of people, and the strong wind exploded in the air ten meters above the ground, using the flying energy waves with the best killing efficiency to cut down a large number of people like mowing grass, and even in the distance, you can see the remains of corpses rolling into the sky...

The violent attack, death hit these people with unprecedented force.

I saw him like a meat grinder, with layers of dead bodies under his feet, blood and meat foam spread into a pool, and even visible to the naked eye, the area occupied by the long dragon formed by rows of people was drastically reduced.

However, what is incredible is that these civilians still continue to attack frantically even though they have no hope of defeating the opponent.

Like the impact of the tide, wave after wave crashes against the rocks, but it will never stop.

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 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?"

"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)
