Chapter 176 My Way Is Not Lonely (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
After helping Feng Qi up, Li Xingchen flicked half of the cigarette in his hand.
As the sparks dispersed, the fire snake quickly spread and ignited the entire warehouse.
At this moment, Lu Yue's figure appeared at the warehouse door.
Seeing Feng Qi covered with scars, Lu Yue's eyes turned cold. He waved his sword out of its sheath and hovered above his head. His aura began to rise.
Realizing that Lu Yue was preparing to take action, Feng Qi endured the pain and shouted:
"Don't do anything, we're on our own."
After hearing these words, Lu Yue's expression was obviously stunned.
When he saw Li Xingchen, he recognized Li Xingchen as the dean of the Future Research Institute and one of the core targets of their confrontation.
When he heard Feng Qi say that Li Xingchen was one of his own, he was suddenly confused.
"This kid is Lu Yue, he seems very strong." Li Xingchen said with a grin, and he walked towards Lu Yue without any fear.
Realizing what seemed to have happened, Lu Yue waved his hand and sheathed the sword.
Taking two steps forward, he reached out and took Feng Qi, who was being supported by Li Xingchen.
"Get in the car first, let's talk somewhere else."
Looking at Lu Yue's confused look, Feng Qi nodded.
After following Li Xingchen into the car, five Future Research Institute vehicles left the warehouse and drove into the hazy night.
An hour later, the vehicle stopped at a remote place outside Future City.
With Lu Yue's help, Feng Qi got out of the car.
At this time, Li Xingchen also got off the other car. After reaching out and lighting a cigarette, he walked up to Feng Qi and said with a smile:
"Can you still hold on?"
"I can't die." Feng Qi bared his teeth and said.
Compared with a body with innate abilities, the body's recovery ability after rune transformation was not that good. At this moment, he felt like stars were shining in his eyes and he might faint at any time.
But now he has many doubts in his heart that have not yet been answered, so he chose to grit his teeth and hold on.
"Do you have many questions for me?"
"Yes, but I know you are the kind of lurker I am looking for."
"Lurkers? You mean the type of people who side with humans but choose to hide? That's right." Li Xingchen took a puff of his cigarette and grinned.
"It's just that compared to me, your method of fighting against the domain forces is extremely stupid, and there is no difference between it and death."
"If I don't choose to do this, will you stand up?" Feng Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Hearing these words, Li Xingchen couldn't help but be stunned.
He suddenly understood why Feng Qi was fighting against the Science and Technology Research Institute in such a high profile.
This is taking risks and fishing.
But what he was trying to catch was not the field forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute, but lurkers like him who were on the side of humanity.
Thinking of this, he suddenly admired Feng Qi's actions.
This is obviously done to unite these lurking people to better carry out confrontational actions.
"Can you tell me why you did this?" Feng Qi asked curiously.
"Treat them as dogs, absorb their nutrients, and then kill them!" As he spoke, Li Xingchen raised the modified robotic arm:
"This is the power they give me, and it is also the weapon I will use to kill them in the future."
"How did the former dean of the Future Research Institute die? As far as I know, he was your teacher." Feng Qi suddenly asked.
Facing the inquiry, Li Xingchen visibly trembled, then grinned and said:
"I killed him with my own hands."
"Can you do it?"
"There is nothing I can't do to achieve my goal. Killing him is my pledge to the forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute."
After hearing these words, Feng Qi understood what kind of person Li Xingchen was.
He longs for the light, but he does so at any cost.
Just the results, not the process.
"From the information I received, you recruited many soldiers who retired from the front line and arranged for them to enter the Future Institute. You even helped them undergo physical transformation. This was done to replace the original people from the Future Institute and ensure that your plan could be successful.
Proceed as normal, right?"
"That's right." Li Xingchen admitted without hesitation.
"So is the Future Research Institute under your control now, or is it controlled by the forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute?"
"Most of them are in my hands. The battle groups and city defense forces in all major fields have my power, but some of them are not. They are the spies placed by the Science and Technology Research Institute around me, and they are also my help to influence their judgment."
Hearing these words, Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the Future Research Institute as a whole is leaning towards the human side.
But the hidden dangers are also very obvious. At this stage, Li Xingchen obviously does not dare to resist the Science and Technology Research Institute.
This is enough to prove how powerful the field forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute are.
Li Xingchen, who has mastered the city defense army and several top-level battle groups, has apparently controlled at least 60% of Future City's combat power.
"I advise you to give up. There are so many lurkers. Maybe there are only Dawn where you are and the Future Research Institute where I am."
Facing Li Xingchen's persuasion, Feng Qi shook his head.
He knows that there are still many lurkers of justice in human society. In addition to the Scarlet Research Institute and the Future Research Institute, there must be other human forces.
It's just that each force chooses a different way.
The Scarlet Research Institute chose the anti-infiltration plan, using scientific research results to try to cut off domain intrusions from the source.
Li Xingchen chose to "submit" to the domain forces and use their power to strengthen himself, hoping that one day he could counterattack the domain forces.
Perhaps there are other human forces secretly choosing a completely different path from them, and they are also working hard and struggling.
Therefore, he did not agree with Li Xingchen's point of view.
"I will continue."
He opened his mouth and spat out a cloud of white mist. Li Xingchen looked at him and smiled:
"Then I wish you good luck, but if one day you become an obstacle on my way forward, I will not hesitate to attack you. This time it is just under the premise of not being exposed, so I helped you."
Looking at Li Xingchen with a ruffian look on his face, Feng Qi grinned and said:
"It's a pity that you are destined to fail, and fail miserably."
According to the historical trend, during the period when the Scarlet Research Institute was completely defeated by the Science and Technology Research Institute, Li Xingchen chose to stand up before hiding in the secret base.
Given his character, since he dared to stand up, it meant that he was prepared to resist the Institute of Science and Technology at that time.
His ending is already determined.
From a historical perspective, the Institute of Science and Technology did not fall. In the end, it was destroyed in the hands of Xiao Hei, not Li Xingchen.
After hearing these words, Li Xingchen's face turned cold:
"You have no right to deny the path I have chosen."
"I'm not denying you, but I've seen your failure through history."
Looking at Li Xingchen, he continued:
"If I said that I have the ability to travel through time lines, to travel back and forth between the future and reality, and to see the direction of history, would you believe it?"
"Do you think I should believe it?" Li Xingchen flicked the cigarette holder away and lit another one for himself.
"Which echelon of authority do you belong to within the Science and Technology Research Institute?" He suddenly asked.
"First echelon authority."
"No wonder I have never met you and never understood you."
"What's the meaning?"
"I was once a member of the second echelon of the Science and Technology Research Institute, and the leader of the wolf-loving field war group."
Looking at Li Xingchen who looked confused, he began to tell about his experience of sacrificing the line.
Listening to Feng Qi's story, Li Xingchen's expression gradually turned serious from his initial disdain.
He found that all the information Feng Qi said was true.
This information is obviously not something that an outsider can know.
But he still didn't think that Feng Qi had the ability to travel through time lines. He just thought that there might be spies from the Dawn organization within the Science and Technology Research Institute.
But when Feng Qi talked about the internal confidentiality technology of the Science and Technology Research Institute, as well as some confidential information with the authority of the second echelon, and even the shadow behind the Science and Technology Research Institute, as well as the mysterious "Mo", he was shaken.
"Have you placed people in the Science and Technology Research Institute?"
Facing Li Xingchen's inquiry, he shook his head:
"How do you want me to prove it?"
"Name a big event that will happen in the future."
Hearing these words, Feng Qi felt helpless.
He does know a lot of things that will happen in the future, such as the Scarlet Research Institute outside Twilight City will be breached by the Science and Technology Research Institute, and the joint operation seen on the last sacrifice line removed a field... and so on.
.
But the time span of these major events was too long, and he did not have time to wait for confirmation.
But he can tell the future direction of some science and technology research institutes.
"Recently, the Institute of Science and Technology will launch a black technology internally, called the Aura Forbidden Zone. Its function is to disperse free aura particles within one kilometer. It will take about half a month. It is the core of the Institute of Science and Technology.
Can you prove that no one knew about its creation before it was released?"
Looking at Feng Qi who said these words confidently, Li Xingchen was obviously taken aback.
"Do you really have the ability to travel through time?"
"It once existed, but now it is lost, but I know the future direction of part of history."
"Tell me more about what you know."
Faced with the inquiry, Feng Qi did not refuse and began to tell his secret in detail.
Listening to his story, Li Xingchen's doubts were gradually dispelled.
At the same time, he also learned something. It turned out that there was a hidden force behind Feng Qi, the "Scarlet Research Institute".
I also learned that the Scarlet Research Institute was conducting a counter-osmosis plan, but it ultimately failed.
Through the information given by Feng Qi, Li Xingchen weaved an information network in his mind.
A lot of information was intertwined, and he gradually believed what Feng Qi said.
Even though the truth was unbelievable to him.
Realizing that his plan would eventually end in failure, Li Xingchen clenched his fist violently, making a sound of metal clashing.
Obviously he was deeply shocked.
At this time, Feng Qi looked at Li Xingchen and smiled:
"Would you like to join me in this timeline and be my companion?"
"I will continue in another way. At least I haven't lost yet."
"If you want to win, you should cooperate with me. At least I have experienced many things."
Looking at Feng Qi, who had a bruised nose and swollen face but was still smiling, Li Xingchen did not respond, but was already in a mental struggle in his mind.
The information Feng Qi said can prove that he did have the ability to travel through time lines.
But how willing was he that the future he had worked so hard to plan would end in failure.
Looking at Li Xingchen with a complicated expression, Feng Qi could understand his feelings at this time.
The frustration of seeing the outcome of failure at a glance must be unacceptable and even unacceptable.
This was not the case for the Scarlet Research Institute in previous timelines.
Even though they knew the counter-infiltration plan would fail, they still chose to try it in another way.
It was not until the last few timelines that the Scarlet Research Institute officially gave up on the plan after realizing that the anti-osmosis plan was unlikely to succeed no matter what it tried.
At this time, Li Xingchen's mood was very similar to that of the top Scarlet executives when they learned the truth.
"Give me a reply, I can't hold it anymore." Feng Qi narrowed his eyes and said.
"I want to try again." With that said, Li Xingchen turned and walked towards the first military vehicle.
"Accept the reality and follow me to have a future, the future you want."
Hearing these words, Li Xingchen's steps suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at Feng Qi:
"Tell me, what are your plans next?"
"To expand the influence of the Daybreak organization, we need more potential companions to stand up against the Institute of Science and Technology... Of course, you can also use my name to secretly attack the Institute of Science and Technology."
After hearing these words, Li Xingchen nodded after being silent for a while:
"Okay, let's try to cooperate with you for now."
Hearing these words, Feng Qi grinned:
"Give me your contact information."
Upon hearing this, Li Xingchen waved to a subordinate, who immediately took out a palm-sized communicator.
Then Li Xingchen threw the communicator towards him and continued:
"This contactor was built by me myself and is guaranteed to be safe and reliable. If you want to contact me, choose channel 11-11, password: Future."
Lu Yue reached out at this moment and caught the communicator thrown by Li Xingchen for him.
"Recuperate first, then contact us." After saying this, Li Xingchen looked at his subordinates and said filial piety:
"Everyone get in the car and start a city-wide search for Feng Qi!"
Upon hearing Li Xingchen's instructions, the soldiers following him got into the car one after another, and the convoy then drove away.
After Li Xingchen left, Feng Qi finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"Lu Yue, let me take a nap first."
"Okay!" Lu Yue responded immediately.
After explaining to Lu Yue, he closed his eyes and fell into coma.
…
In the following days, Feng Qi spent ten days recovering from his injuries.
During this period, the Science and Technology Research Institute internally launched the black technology "Aura Restricted Area" that he had predicted would appear, which deepened Li Xingchen's trust in him and even chose to contact him proactively.
After contacting Li Xingchen, Feng Qi's path to confronting the Institute of Science and Technology became much smoother.
In the days that followed, Li Xingchen would take the initiative to reveal to him the relevant arrangements of the Science and Technology Research Institute, helping them resolve several crises.
At the same time, Li Xingchen also launched a secret operation against the Science and Technology Research Institute during this period.
Although he does not fully control the Future Research Institute.
But there are also a group of trustworthy subordinate soldiers who have retired from the front line and undergone mechanized transformation.
In the name of the Dawn organization, they used the intelligence they knew to carry out covert sabotage operations.
As for the impact of the destruction, Li Xingchen and his subordinate soldiers will not hesitate to put it on Feng Qi's head.
Feng Qi, who was hiding in the dark, was inexplicably accused of a bunch of crimes.
But he was not without gains.
For example, if Li Xingchen hijacked the resources, he would naturally not bring them back to the Future Research Institute.
So he simply contacted Feng Qi and sent the hijacked domain field resources to him.
And Li Xingchen also gave him a list and asked him to try to contact the people on the list, and even recruit these people into the Dawn organization.
With Li Xingchen's help, Daybreak Organization entered a stage of rapid development.
But what Feng Qi is most looking forward to is the active contact with those human forces that are still lurking.
He also firmly believes that we are not alone in our path.
It's just that they all chose different paths to salvation.
