Chapter 251: I'm Not Alone (1)

After helping Feng Qi up, Li Xingchen flicked away the half stick of cigarette out of his hand.

As the sparks dissipated, the tongues of flame quickly spread and ignited the entire warehouse.

At this moment, Lu Yues figure appeared at the entrance.

Seeing Feng Qi covered in wounds, Lu Yues eyes turned cold. With a wave of his hand, Jian Lan on his back was unsheathed and hovered above his head. The aura on his body began to rise steadily.

Realizing that Lu Yue was preparing to attack, Feng Qi endured the pain and shouted,

Dont. Hes one of us.

Hearing this, Lu Yue was clearly stunned.

When he saw Li Xingchen, he recognized him as the director of the Future Research Inst.i.tute. He was also one of the core targets of their confrontation.

When he heard Feng Qi say that Li Xingchen was one of them, he was bewildered.

This kid must be Lu Yue. He looks very strong. Li Xingchen grinned. As he spoke, he walked towards Lu Yue fearlessly.

Realizing that something seemed to have happened, Lu Yue waved his hand and sheathed his sword.

He took two steps forward and reached out to receive Feng Qi, who was supported by Li Xingchen.

Get in the car first. Lets talk somewhere else.

Looking at Lu Yues puzzled gaze, Feng Qi nodded.

After following Li Xingchen into the car, the five Future Research Inst.i.tute vehicles left the warehouse and drove into the hazy night.

An hour later, they stopped in a remote area outside Future City.

With Lu Yues help, Feng Qi got out of the car.

Li Xingchen also got out of another car. After lighting a cigarette, he walked up to Feng Qi and smiled.

Are you holding up?

I wont die. Feng Qi said as he bared his teeth.

Compared to his body, which had innate abilities, the recovery ability of this body after the rune transformation was much weaker. Right now, he felt like he was seeing stars and could faint at any moment.

However, he still had many questions in his heart that he had yet to obtain answers to. He chose to grit his teeth and endure it.

Do you have a lot of questions for me?

Yes, but I know youre the type of lurker Im looking for.

Lurker? Are you talking about the kind of people who stand on the side of humans but choose to conceal themselves? Youre not wrong. Li Xingchen took a puff of his cigarette and grinned.

However, compared to me, your method of resisting domain factions is extremely stupid. Its no different from tempting fate.

If I didnt choose to do this, would you come forward? Feng Qi couldnt help but roll his eyes.

Hearing this, Li Xingchen could not help but be stunned.

He suddenly understood why Feng Qi was resisting the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute in such a high-profile manner.

He was risking and using his life as bait.

However, he was not fis.h.i.+ng for the domain force behind the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute, but for lurkers like him who stood on the side of humans.

At this thought, he suddenly admired Feng Qis actions.

It was obvious that he wanted to unite them and better launch a counterattack.

Can you tell me why youre doing this? Feng Qi asked curiously.

Be their dog, absorb their nutrients, and then kill them! As Li Xingchen spoke, he raised his modified mechanical arm.

This is the power they gave me, and also the weapon Ill use to kill them in the future.

How did the previous director of the Future Research Inst.i.tute die? As far as I know, he was your teacher. Feng Qi suddenly asked.

Hearing this question, Li Xingchens body trembled visibly. Then, he grinned and said,

I killed him myself.

Could you bring yourself to do it?

Theres nothing I cant do to achieve my goal. Killing him is my proof of allegiance to the domain faction behind the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute.

Hearing this, Feng Qi understood what kind of person Li Xingchen was.

He yearned for the light, but he was unscrupulous.

He only cared for the result, not the process.

According to the information I received, you recruited many soldiers who retired from the front line and arranged for them to join the Future Research Inst.i.tute. You even helped them undergo physical modifications. This is to replace the original people in the Future Research Inst.i.tute and ensure that your plan can proceed normally, right?

Thats right, Li Xingchen admitted without hesitation.

So is the Future Research Inst.i.tute under your control now, or is it controlled by the domain force behind the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute?

It is mostly in my control. My forces are present in the major domain combat teams and the city defense troops, but not some of them. They are spies planted by the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute and are also helpers for me to influence their judgment.

Hearing this, Feng Qi heaved a sigh of relief.

At least the Future Research Inst.i.tute was generally biased towards humans.

However, the hidden danger was also very obvious. At this stage, Li Xingchen clearly did not dare to resist the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute.

This was enough to prove how powerful the domain faction behind the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute was.

Li Xingchen, who had controlled the city defense troops and a few top domain combat teams, was already controlling at least 60% of Future Citys combat strength on the surface.

I advise you to give up. How can there be so many lurkers? Perhaps only Breaking Dawn, where you are, and the Future Research Inst.i.tute where I am.

Feng Qi shook his head at Li Xingchens persuasion.

He knew that there were many righteous lurkers in human society. Other than the Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute and the Future Research Inst.i.tute, there were definitely other human factions.

It was just that each faction chose a different method of operation.

The Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute chose the counter-infiltration plan and used scientific research results to try to cut off the domain invasion from the source.

Li Xingchen chose to stand on the side of the domain powerhouses and make use of their power to strengthen himself. He was waiting for the day when he could counterattack the domain powerhouses..
