143 Copy?
◎Seeing flowers in the fog◎
How could it have the same weapon as Wu Shanyue?
Qi Qiuxue was stunned for a moment when she saw the gun in the other person's hand. The two were very close to each other at this time, enough to see all the details clearly. Qi Qiuxue looked around and could even see the pattern on the gun.
No matter the style or the details, everything is exactly the same as the one in Wu Shanyue's hand.
"This, this is impossible..." Wu Shanyue looked at the scene in disbelief. Her gun was not something that could be bought casually on the market. There was only one such gun in the world, and it was made by her mother herself!
Since the extinction of humans, Mom has specially made exclusive weapons for each of them in order to improve their fighting skills and maximize their advantages. Whether it is her gun, Qi Qiuxue's bone knife or Li Yiqing's crossbow... all of them are unique things, and no one else has seen them except them.
Unless Mom lied to them.
Wu Shanyue subconsciously thought divergently, and some inexplicable guesses emerged in her mind, but she quickly shook her head to deny this point of view. Mom would not lie to them, and such speculation was absolutely impossible!
Before she could think about it, the masked man in front of her raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
"Be careful!" Qi Qiuxue reacted quickly and pushed Wu Shanyue aside. She also raised her bone knife and quickly switched to combat mode. Even though they had not yet figured out the identity of the masked man, they were certain that the other party had no good intentions.
"Sister Qing, Shanyue!" Qi Qiuxue dodged the bullets while shouting the names of her companions, asking them to use their weapons to attack the masked man. She then found the right moment to move behind the masked man, trying to catch him off guard.
No matter what, there is only one enemy, but they have three of them. Even if the enemy is powerful, they still have certain advantages to defeat him.
It’s just that the masked man’s reaction speed was too fast.
Qi Qiuxue locked her eyes on the other party, watching it dodge the attacks of Li Yiqing and Wu Shanyue time and time again, and even had enough energy to aim at the weak points of the two and shoot. The whole process looked easy.
Gradually, Li Yiqing and Wu Shanyue's reactions became increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, Qi Qiuxue finally waited for the most appropriate time to take action.
She rushed forward quickly in the next second, jumped up at the fastest speed, aimed the blade at the masked man's neck and slashed it quickly and accurately, trying to kill him with one blow, but in the blink of an eye, as if sensing her approach, the masked man suddenly turned around.
Qi Qiuxue watched her raise the gun and make a blocking gesture, but when Qi Qiuxue's blade was about to hit the gun, the shape of the gun suddenly changed.
It turned into a knife, a bone knife exactly the same as the one in Qi Qiuxue's hand!
"What..." Qi Qiuxue's eyes widened. The two identical knives collided with each other, and there was no difference in the outcome. The masked man raised his wrist to break Qi Qiuxue's attack, and with an incredibly fast speed, he moved the bone knife to his left hand and attacked Qi Qiuxue's defenseless right arm.
The sharp blade cut through her clothes and her skin, and blood gushed out in an instant.
Qi Qiuxue's heart was filled with alarm, and she jumped back reflexively to create distance, but the opponent changed the weapon in his hand again as if he had predicted it.
This time, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a huge crossbow.
“…”
Is it a copy?
Is this monster's ability to copy?
This act of replacing weapons out of thin air is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. At this moment, Qi Qiuxue has already determined the identity of the other party. It is not a human being, but a monster with super high IQ, combat power and strong reaction ability.
The sound of rapidly approaching footsteps could be heard from the jungle behind them, accompanied by the loud shouts of Liu Ge and Su Wen: "Axue, what happened?!"
"We're here to help you!" They were about to draw their weapons.
"No!" Qi Qiuxue stopped the two from taking action. Assuming that the monster really had the ability to copy everything it saw on a one-to-one basis, the best way for now was to stay put.
At least don't let it see Liu Ge and Su Wen's weapons again.
Perhaps he had lost interest in this one-sided crushing, and the masked man suddenly stopped attacking.
Its cold gaze swept in the direction of Qi Qiuxue. Even though its entire face was hidden under the mask, making it impossible to see its expression and appearance, Qi Qiuxue inexplicably felt that it was smiling.
That scrutinizing attitude made Qi Qiuxue feel extremely uncomfortable: "Who are you?"
The masked man did not answer, turned around and jumped into the dense jungle around him, and disappeared in an instant.
Liu Ge and Su Wen, who arrived late, had no idea what had happened. They put down the wood in their hands and were about to chase after him.
Qi Qiuxue raised her hand to stop them and said matter-of-factly, "Forget it."
This was the first time she felt such a strong sense of defeat from someone other than Li Yiqing: "With our current level, we are no match for it."
“…”
-
After returning to the facility, Qi Qiuxue and others placed all the materials in their hands on the ground.
Li Yiqing brought over a bandage and carefully bandaged Qi Qiuxue. She felt deeply guilty for not protecting Qi Qiuxue well: "I'm sorry, Axue."
"I'm just too weak." Qi Qiuxue looked up at her and shook her head gently, "This has nothing to do with you."
"I'll go report to Mom on the progress of our supply collection." Following Mom's instructions, they would come over to tell her after returning to the facility. Qi Qiuxue knocked on the door gently, and after waiting for a response, she stepped in.
"Is everything going well, my baby Axue." Mom seemed to have just woken up from a nap. She did not open the curtains hanging on both sides of the bed, but just spoke to Qi Qiuxue through the curtains. Her figure was only a hazy shadow under the cover of the curtains, and it was unclear.
Qi Qiuxue didn't approach. Instead, she stood about half a meter away from the bed and replied, "Fortunately, we've almost collected the materials. We should be able to reinforce all the doors and windows by evening."
"That's great." Mom smiled and praised her sincerely, then asked, "Did anything else happen?"
"You haven't encountered any danger?"
"...Yes." Qi Qiuxue was silent for a moment. For a moment, some strange thoughts flashed through her mind repeatedly, driving her not to tell her mother what had happened before.
But soon, those thoughts disappeared, firstly out of absolute respect and trust for my mother, and secondly -
She felt that she couldn't hide it from her.
"We met a strange masked man on our way back..." Qi Qiuxue briefly explained everything that had just happened, but instinctively concealed some details, such as the other party's special abilities.
My mother nodded gently after hearing this. She said nothing, only saying, "It's really dangerous. No matter what, everyone should be more cautious and pay attention in the future."
"I understand." Qi Qiuxue nodded in response. "Anything else, Mom?"
"No more." Mom shook her head slowly, "You can go out now."
"Okay." Qi Qiuxue opened her lips to say goodbye to the person in front of her, turned around and left the room. The moment she closed the door, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
This feeling stunned her. Was she on guard against her mother? She even resisted being alone with her and felt unreasonably nervous and scared about it.
So messy.
Qi Qiuxue couldn't figure it out. She always felt like she was in a thick fog. She was looking at flowers in the fog. Everything was hazy and she couldn't see clearly or grasp it. This feeling made her irritated. She tried to break free but couldn't find a way.
Until Li Yiqing's voice came from behind: "Axue, are you okay?"
"It's okay..." Qi Qiuxue met her gaze for a while, then lowered her head and moved closer to her warm embrace.
"I'm just a little tired."
