Chapter 30 Chapter 30 The air is somewhat condensed...
The air felt frozen, like drops of thick, scalding liquid melting in a dark room, falling on the tortured person, setting the fresh blood in their heart boiling. Si Qi suppressed the sudden surge of rage, a cold smile curling his lips.
"I rely on my own strength." Si Qi looked at Scarface and the video loading on the screen. She was really curious about what size video could take so long to load.
Si Ruxu was grabbed by someone just as she took a step forward. She turned around and saw Si Luoheng shaking his head at her. Scarface was able to gather so many people and target Si Qi right from the start. He must have his own confidence.
Moreover, he has the same energy as Si Qi. The more time comes, the more he should not be impulsive and should observe the situation from the outside.
Si Ruxu lowered her eyes slightly, took a step back and left the group watching Si Qi.
Si Qi stood there calmly, accepting everyone's gaze, good or bad, without error. She had done nothing wrong; it was the world that was sick, so she would face everything calmly.
"Recently, our base has developed a new monitor. By connecting the mother device with the child device, it can monitor the situation on the child device in real time. It was originally intended to be used for large-scale massacres." The scarred man's gaze paused on Si Qi's face, revealing a bit of cold sharpness.
"However, a few months ago, Si Qi took advantage of the chaos to steal this weapon. But because of this, I observed the entire process from her entry into the massacre to her exit." As soon as these words fell, Si Ruxu's face suddenly turned pale. She looked at Si Qi and saw the faint smile on her lips.
As if he didn't care, as if he had expected it.
"Steal? How disgusting. You're acting out a plot to frame others." Si Qi felt a weak power belonging to him from his body.
Scarface was a little frightened by the stares. He stepped back a few steps and felt the powerful supernatural powers flowing faintly among the crowd, and then he regained some confidence.
"We'll know what's right and wrong once the video is released, don't worry."
Si Qi nodded in agreement. Behind her, Luo Fenghe gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, hinting at a direct teleportation escape. She didn't respond, even taking a sip of the tea on the table.
"The more you can eat, the better. Don't be polite to him." Si Qi said with a chuckle.
The only sounds around him were the sound of the teacup falling and the movement of the fruit plate next to it. The video was still loading, and the sound of heavy breathing was scattered in his ears. Si Qi took a bite of the fruit, and with a "click", the black page lit up a second after it fell.
Loading complete.
It became even quieter, and the air gradually grew thicker, swallowing up the people in it like black water.
From the first day, when Si Qi entered the snack shop and only took a few bags of potato chips, to the little food she stored every day.
Every step was filled with strangeness. Si Qi could feel the supernatural powers condensed in the bodies of the people around her. She still did not move, leaning back in her chair, eating while enjoying the massacre on the screen.
She admitted that she was in a very strange state during the massacre. She couldn't react at all. It was as if she was suddenly pulled away from this world and trapped on that small hill. She didn't want to go down, nor did she want others to come up.
She could have just been a bystander during the entire massacre, but she took action on a very noisy night, surrounded by cries for help. The superpowers she had imagined became evil spirits that locked souls, and all the people suffered.
But now looking at the video, there was clearly no sound around. At that time, she woke up and sat on the hillside for a long time, with strange blood-colored lines slowly creeping up around her eyes and wrists.
She kept looking in one direction, slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the hillside, and almost fell down. Blood-colored veins flowed from her fingertips like silky water, forking in the moonlight and merging into the bodies of every plant and animal.
Those animals and plants mutated and grew wildly in an instant, becoming taller and taller, and became the first level of mutated animals and plants today.
Luo Fenghe's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Si Qi with disbelief in his eyes: "When did you..."
"Hush, don't be afraid, let's see what they say." Si Qi didn't even give Scarface a second glance, his face full of admiration for his own strength.
Scarface looked around, his gaze lingering on Si Ruxu's pale, slightly pursed lips, before he frowned slightly. He didn't know when Si Ruxu had gotten together with the guy from the research institute, and wondered if that would affect his plans.
"Si Qi, do you have anything else to say?" Scarface looked at Si Qi, his eyes slightly narrowed, his ferocious muscles tensed.
"No, I did it." Si Qi raised his hands with a faint smile on his lips, "But, that's what they should do."
"What a joke! Do you think that we, the ten thousand people with superpowers, deserve to die? Which one of them is not protecting ordinary people and working hard to survive in the apocalypse?" Scarface spoke passionately and eloquently. Si Qi saw the greedy surge of blood-red energy through his skin.
"Heh." She curled her lips sarcastically.
"I never said that those ten thousand mutants should die. All I said was that any living creature should compete fiercely." Si Qi wiped his hands and stood up slowly.
"Humanity has evolved into two types: zombies, who lack intelligence but possess powerful physiques, and superhumans, who are almost superior to all living things. Does that mean that other plants and animals will remain as they are, free to be slaughtered and chopped apart?"
As soon as Si Qi finished speaking, she heard people around her gasp. They probably thought what she said was nonsense.
In fact, as a human being, she herself also felt that the lives of animals and plants might have meaning, but humans were used to being rulers.
"Evolution is an inevitable trend. I just gave them a hand. It will happen sooner or later. Survival of the fittest."
Scarface clapped his hands a few times and laughed angrily, "Survival of the fittest is a natural selection trope. You're saying you won't side with humans, right?"
"I stand on the side of living things. Any living thing must rely on strength to compete for resources in the apocalypse and work together to end the apocalypse." Si Qi spoke in a sonorous and powerful tone, not avoiding Scarface's eyes.
"Okay, okay." Scarface waved his hand, and a space shield fell instantly, trapping Si Qi inside. Si Qi frowned slightly, feeling that the material of the space shield was different.
"Is this how you treat guests?" Luo Fenghe stepped forward and stood in front of Si Qi. "After all, Si Qi is a member of our base. Shouldn't we discuss how to deal with him?"
"What qualifications do you have to discuss with me!" The bloody supernatural power on Scarface's body squirmed like a worm. Si Qi took a few steps back in disgust. This was much uglier than when she activated her supernatural power.
"Okay." Si Qi stood in the space shield, "Tell me, what do you want."
Scarface laughed when he heard this. After all, he was just a kid, and he didn't think Si Qi had the ability to resist the leaders of so many bases.
"I don't want your life either. I want you to stay in the base so I can investigate you. If I can confirm that you belong to the human camp, I will release you."
Si Qi looked at the superpowers surging in his veins. Information came in the air. She saw a small zombie with clear eyes in front of her. They just looked at each other, but she seemed to see its magnificent life in its eyes.
It was the first zombie. The first zombie was intelligent. It did not bite people and was not bloodthirsty. It wandered in the mountains and forests until one day by chance, it saw humans getting off a car.
Humans, like it, walk upright, but they are different. For example, they can hunt, but their hunting skills are poor, and they cannot use special abilities.
It began to feel curious and observed from a distance, until one day, the human discovered it.
They stood in the sun for the first time, looking at each other. The man looked at it curiously, mumbling something that it couldn't understand, but it wasn't unpleasant to hear. It wanted him to say more.
…
The little zombie in the illusion in front of her was suddenly shattered. Si Qi looked at the scarred face who had walked in front of her at some point, and there was a rare impatience in her eyes.
She almost knew where his superpowers came from, but it should have come from the little zombie. She always felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the little zombie.
If the first zombie in the world was just a wrong color, couldn't hurt people and was still sane, then why did the zombies that came after it become like that?
Was the first zombie a transformation of humans, or was it the first species developed by the Creator?
The more she thought about it, the less clues she had. She felt as if the threads of this world were tangled into a ball, impossible to cut or untangle.
Scarface saw her dazed expression and became somewhat alert. "Don't try any tricks. There are so many of us here. Even if you are powerful, you won't be able to escape."
Si Qi looked at him doubtfully: "Who said I wanted to escape?"
She raised her hand, and the man who was about to speak exploded into a bloody mist. The blood-red energy in his body slowly flowed into her meridians. All the energy returned, and it seemed that there was something more in her mind.
The thing was wrapped in a layer of gray cloth. She couldn't see it, but she was clearly aware of its existence.
The space shield tightened instantly the moment she took action. Her whole body was unable to move and she was forced to squat on the ground.
The powerful pressure almost crushed her into powder. She used her spatial ability to resist part of it, and blood mixed with crushed internal organs gushed out of her mouth.
"Scarface is dead. She must have some unspeakable secret. No matter what, in this apocalyptic world, nothing can happen. We still don't know if she was a friend or foe."
"I'd rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. I don't know what this space shield is made of, but it doesn't look like it can crush her..."
Si Luoheng saw everyone at a loss, then looked at Si Qi who was half-kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, and chuckled, interrupting the discussions around him.
"Kill her, how difficult is that?"
