After helping Feng Qi up, Li Xingchen flicked the half-smoked cigarette in his hand.
As the sparks dissipated, the fire snake spread rapidly and ignited the entire warehouse.
At this moment, Lu Yue's figure appeared at the door of the warehouse.
Seeing Feng Qi covered in scars, Lu Yue's eyes became cold. With a wave of his hand, the sword behind him was unsheathed and hovered above his head. The momentum on his body began to rise steadily.
Realizing that Lu Yue was ready to attack, Feng Qi endured the pain and shouted:
"Don't do it, we are one of them."
Hearing this, Lu Yue's expression was obviously stunned.
When he saw Li Xingchen, he recognized that Li Xingchen was the dean of the Future Research Institute, which was one of the core targets of their confrontation.
At this time, he heard Feng Qi say that Li Xingchen was one of his own, and he was a little confused.
"This kid must be Lu Yue, he looks very strong." Li Xingchen grinned, and said that he walked towards Lu Yue without fear.
Realizing that something seemed to have happened, Lu Yue waved his hand and the sword was sheathed.
Taking two steps forward, he reached out and took over Feng Qi, who was supported by Li Xingchen.
"Get in the car first, let's talk somewhere else."
Looking at the puzzled look from Lu Yue, Feng Qi nodded.
After getting in the car with Li Xingchen, five vehicles from the Future Research Institute left the warehouse and drove into the hazy night.
An hour later, the vehicle stopped in a remote place outside the Future City.
With the support of Lu Yue, Feng Qi got out of the car.
At this time, Li Xingchen also got out of another car. After lighting a cigarette, he walked up to Feng Qi and said with a smile:
"Can you still hold on?"
"I won't die." Feng Qi grinned.
Compared with the body with innate abilities, the body's recovery ability after rune transformation is not a little bit worse. At this moment, he only felt stars in his eyes and might faint at any time.
But he now has many doubts in his heart that have not been answered, so he chose to grit his teeth and hold on.
"Do you have a lot of questions for me?"
"Yes, but I know you are the type of lurker I'm looking for."
"Lurker? You mean the type of people who stand on the side of humans but choose to hide? That's not wrong." Li Xingchen took a puff of cigarette and grinned.
"But compared to me, your method of fighting against the domain forces is really stupid, and there is no difference between it and committing suicide."
"If I don't choose to do this, will you stand up?" Feng Qi couldn't help rolling his eyes
. Hearing this, Li Xingchen couldn't help but be stunned.
He suddenly understood why Feng Qi was so high-profile against the Institute of Science and Technology.
This was a risky attempt to fish.
But what he caught was not the domain forces behind the Institute of Science and Technology, but lurkers like him who stood on the side of humans.
Thinking of this, he suddenly admired Feng Qi's actions.
This was obviously to unite the lurkers and better carry out the confrontation.
"Can you tell me why you did this?" Feng Qi asked curiously at this time.
"Serve them as dogs, absorb their nutrients, and then kill them!" Li Xingchen raised the modified mechanical 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.
Faced with the question, Li Xingchen's body trembled obviously, and then grinned:
"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 token of surrender to the field forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute."
Hearing this, Feng Qi understood what kind of person Li Xingchen is.
He yearns for light, but he will do anything. He
only cares about the result, not the process.
"According to the intelligence I got, you recruited many soldiers who retired from the front line and arranged for them to enter the Future Research Institute, and even helped them to transform their bodies. This is to replace the original people of the Future Research Institute to ensure that your plan can proceed normally, 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 domain forces behind the Institute of Science and Technology?"
"Most of it is in my hands. The major domain war groups and the city defense army have my power, but some are not. They are the spies planted by the Institute of Science and Technology around me, and they are also my help in influencing their judgment."
Hearing this, Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the Future Research Institute as a whole is biased towards the human side.
But the hidden dangers are also very obvious. At this stage, Li Xingchen obviously does not dare to resist the Institute of Science and Technology.
This is enough to prove how powerful the domain forces behind the Institute of Science and Technology are.
Li Xingchen, who has mastered the city defense army and several top domain war groups, has apparently controlled at least 60% of the combat power of Future City.
"I advise you to give up. There are not 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 knew that there were many justice lurkers 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 the invasion of the domain from the source.
Li Xingchen chose to stand on the side of "submission" to the domain forces, using their power to strengthen himself, just waiting for the day when he can counterattack the domain forces.
Perhaps there are other human forces in secret, who have chosen a completely different path from them, and are also working hard and struggling.
So he does not agree with Li Xingchen's point of view.
"I will continue."
Opening his mouth and spitting 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, I just helped you without being exposed."
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 it will be a miserable defeat."
According to the historical trend, when the Scarlet Research Institute was completely defeated by the Science and Technology Research Institute, before hiding in the secret base, Li Xingchen chose to stand up.
With his character, since he dared to stand up, it means that he was ready to resist the Science and Technology Research Institute at that time.
His ending was already doomed.
From a historical perspective, the Science and Technology Research Institute did not fall, and the final outcome was destroyed by Xiao Hei, not him, Li Xingchen.
Hearing this, Li Xingchen's face turned cold:
"You have no right to deny the path I have chosen."
"I didn't deny you, but I have seen your failed ending through history."
Looking at Li Xingchen, he continued:
"If I say that I have the ability to travel through time, to travel back and forth between the future and reality, and that he can see the direction of history, do you believe it?"
"Do you think I should believe it?" Li Xingchen flicked away the cigarette holder and lit another one for himself.
"What echelon of authority do you belong to in the Institute of Science and Technology?" he suddenly asked.
"The first echelon of authority."
"No wonder I have never seen you and never understood you."
"What do you mean?"
"I was a member of the second echelon of authority in the Institute of Science and Technology, and the leader of the Wolf-eating Domain War Group."
Looking at Li Xingchen who was puzzled, he began to tell about his experience of sacrificing the line.
Listening to Feng Qi's story, Li Xingchen's expression gradually became serious from his initial disdain.
He found that all the information Feng Qi said was true.
This information was obviously not something that an outsider could know.
But he still didn't think Feng Qi had the ability to travel through time, he just thought that maybe there was a spy of the Dawn Organization in the Institute of Science and Technology.
But when Feng Qi talked about the internal confidentiality technology of the Institute of Science and Technology, some confidential information of the second echelon authority, and even the shadow behind the Institute of Science and Technology, and the mysterious "Mo", he wavered.
"You have planted people in the Institute of Science and Technology?"
Facing Li Xingchen's question, he shook his head:
"How do you want me to prove it?"
"Tell me a big event that will happen in the future."
Hearing this, Feng Qi felt helpless.
He did know many things that would happen in the future, such as the Scarlet Research Institute outside Mulin City would be breached by the Institute of Science and Technology, and the joint action seen on the previous sacrifice line that pulled out a field... and so on.
But the time span of these major events was too long, and he didn't have time to wait for confirmation.
But he could tell some of the future directions of the Institute of Science and Technology.
"Recently, the Institute of Science and Technology will launch a black technology internally, called the Aura Forbidden Zone, which can disperse the free aura particles within one kilometer. It will be launched in about half a month. It was created by Mo, the core of the Institute of Science and Technology. No one knew about its birth before it was released. Can this be proved?"
Looking at Feng Qi who said this with confidence, Li Xingchen was obviously stunned.
"Do you really have the ability to shuttle through time?"
"I used to have it, but now I have lost it, but I know the future direction of some history."
"Tell me in detail what you know."
Faced with the inquiry, Feng Qi did not refuse and began to tell his secrets in detail.
Listening to his story, Li Xingchen's doubts were gradually dispelled.
At the same time, he also learned one thing. It turned out that there was a latent force "Scarlet Research Institute" behind Feng Qi.
He also knew that the Scarlet Research Institute was carrying out an anti-infiltration plan, but it ultimately failed.
Through the information given by Feng Qi, Li Xingchen wove an information network in his mind.
Many pieces of information were intertwined, and he gradually believed what Feng Qi said.
Even if this truth was unbelievable to him.
Realizing that his plan would eventually end in failure, Li Xingchen clenched his fists fiercely, making a sound of metal clashing.
It was obvious that he was deeply shocked.
At this time, Feng Qi looked at Li Xingchen and smiled:
"Do you want to follow me in this timeline and be my companion!"
"I will continue in a different 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 before."
Looking at Feng Qi, who was already bruised and swollen but still smiling, Li Xingchen did not respond, but his mind was already in a struggle of thoughts.
The information Feng Qi said can prove that he did have the ability to travel through timelines.
But how can he be willing to end the future he has worked so hard to plan in failure.
Looking at Li Xingchen with a complicated expression, Feng Qi can understand his feelings at this time.
The frustration of seeing the failure at a glance must be difficult to accept, and even unwilling.
Isn't it the same for the Scarlet Research Institute in the previous timelines.
Even though they knew that the anti-infiltration plan would fail, they still chose to try it in a different way.
It was not until the last few timelines that the Crimson Research Institute officially abandoned the plan after realizing that the anti-infiltration plan would not succeed no matter how it was tried.
Li Xingchen's mood at this moment was very similar to that of the Crimson senior management when they learned the truth.
"Give me a reply, I can't hold on any longer." Feng Qi narrowed his eyes and said.
"I want to try again." With that, Li Xingchen turned and walked towards the first military vehicle.
"Accept the reality, only by following me can you have a future, the future you want."
Hearing this, Li Xingchen suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at Feng Qi:
"Tell me, what are your plans next?"
"To expand the influence of the Dawn 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."
Hearing this, Li Xingchen was silent for a while and nodded:
"Okay, let's try to cooperate with you for the time being."
Hearing this, Feng Qi grinned:
"Give me your contact information."
Li Xingchen heard it and waved to a subordinate, and his subordinate immediately took out a palm-sized communicator.
Then Li Xingchen threw the communicator to him and continued:
"This communicator was made by me. It is safe and reliable. If you want to contact me, choose channel 11-11, code: future."
At this time, Lu Yue reached out and caught the communicator thrown by Li Xingchen for him.
"Recover from the injury first, and then contact." After saying that, Li Xingchen looked at his subordinates and roared:
"Everyone get in the car, and start searching the whole city for Feng Qi!"
Hearing Li Xingchen's order, the soldiers around him got in the car one after another, and the convoy drove away.
After Li Xingchen left, Feng Qi finally couldn't hold on.
"Lv Yue, I'll sleep first."
"Okay!" Lv Yue responded immediately.
After explaining to Lv Yue, he closed his eyes and fell into a coma.
...
In the following days, Feng Qi spent ten days recuperating from his injuries. .
During this period, the Science and Technology Research Institute launched the black technology "Aura Forbidden Zone" that he had predicted would appear, which deepened Li Xingchen's trust in him and even chose to take the initiative to contact him.
After contacting Li Xingchen, Feng Qi's road to confronting the Science and Technology Research Institute was much smoother.
In the following days, Li Xingchen would take the initiative to reveal the relevant arrangements of the Science and Technology Research Institute to him, 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 did not completely control the Future Research Institute.
However, there are also a group of trustworthy subordinates who have retired from the front line and have undergone mechanized transformation.
They used the information they knew to launch secret sabotage operations in the name of the Dawn Organization.
As for the impact of the sabotage, Li Xingchen and his subordinates would not hesitate to hang it on Feng Qi's head.
Feng Qi, who was hiding in the dark, had a lot of charges inexplicably.
But he was not without gain.
For example, he would not bring back the resources hijacked by Li Xingchen to the Future Research Institute.
So he simply contacted Feng Qi and sent the hijacked domain resources to him.
And Li Xingchen also gave him a list, asking him to try to contact the people on the list, or even pull these people into the Dawn Organization.
With the help of Li Xingchen, the Dawn Organization entered a stage of rapid development.
But what Feng Qi most expected was that those human forces that were still lurking would come to contact him actively.
He also firmly believed that my way was not alone.
It's just that they all chose different ways to save the world.
