Chapter 177: The Real Winner

Li Qing was nervously looking forward to this being the last step in his plan.

Thomas is also nervously looking forward to this as the last step in his plan.

The front leg was thrown out, and the grenade flew over.

Like all "cargo" delivered by Mission Imperative, this grenade is resolutely flying towards its goal.

It's only targeting that target, not people.

And this time, it locks on to the target location... It's still Li Qing's left front leg!

It was the left front leg that had been separated from the body and was thrown out by Li Qing.

"It worked!"

The small black shadow that flashed in front of his eyes made Li Qing realize his victory in this gamble.

Everything was happening just as he thought it would.

Thomas set the target for this grenade to be Li Qing's left front leg, and even if this front leg has detached from the body, it will chase after it according to the set goal.

In this way, the pig's trotters flew out, and the grenades flew after the pig's trotters.

And this is the beginning of Li Qing's counterattack.

It is also the biggest reward that Li Qing can get after winning this gamble:

"That place is the outfall of this pig farm."

The pig's trotters streaked a parabola in mid-air, and soon fell into the deep trench where filth flowed.

"Behind the outfall, there are underground pipes."

Just as Li Qing smelled, the foul-smelling sewage slid directly into the pipes leading to the ground.

The pig's trotter that detached from the body also fell with the sewage.

"Connected by underground pipes, directly below the farm, is a large septic tank."

Probably because the farm itself is a stand-in.

Unlike most farms, where the septic tank is placed outside the building, the septic tank and the barn are completely integrated.

The septic tank, which is also part of the farm, is part of the supervisor's stand-in.

"There is a lot of high concentration of biogas in the septic tank."

"If the grenade falls into that sewage pipe, the flames of its explosion will..."

The pig's trotters fell into the pipe.

The grenade immediately followed the marker's location and fell into the underground pipe filled with sewage and methane.

Then, in the next second, the time-delay fuse ignited the explosives.

The hot flames bloomed underground, and the blazing tongues ignited the flammable methane gas in the pipes, and eventually...

"Detonate the entire septic tank!"

An unprecedented tremor came from the ground beneath his feet.

The explosion instantly destroyed the septic tank buried in the ground, and the violent shock wave generated spread in all directions, to the ground, to the walls, and to every part of the building.

"You said before..."

"This pig farm itself is a stand-in for the head of the science and technology group."

"Then, if you cause damage to the farm itself, the supervisor of the main body must also cause damage."

In the violent shaking caused by the explosion, Li Qing raised his head with difficulty and looked at Thomas, who was also unstable in the tremor.

Still a pig, he could not speak, but his sparkling eyes still clearly declared his victory:

"If the damage is severe enough, the body will not be able to maintain the existence of the stand-in."

"In other words, if the plan is successful, the pig farm will disappear from the face of the earth immediately!"

The truth is just as he thought.

The moment the methane explosion occurred, the supervisor who was hiding in the computer room and secretly monitoring everything felt the damage from the stand-in.

As a true behemoth, the size of the "Pig Factory" is far from being comparable to that of a normal humanoid stand-in.

It is true that the damage taken by the stand-in will be returned to the main body, but how can a human attack hurt a magnificent building that is tens of meters high and hundreds of meters long.

But now it's different.

Now the "pig factory" has suffered an unprecedented, large-scale, and powerful biogas explosion.

The blast wave of the explosion nearly destroyed the foundation of the building, and then reacted back to the main body in equal proportions.

The director didn't react at all, or rather, by the time he realized that something wasn't right, it was too late.

His stomach was suddenly shattered by the feedback injury, and his intestines and flesh were rotten and twisted together, slowly flowing out of the wounds opened by the explosion.

Under such a heavy blow, the director immediately collapsed in his seat.

He couldn't even use the strength to maintain his breathing, let alone the existence of a stand-in.

So, just as Li Qing expected...

At this moment, the farm disappeared.

The massive building disappeared from the face of the earth in an instant, and the walls, the ground, the pig barn, and even the machinery and equipment all dissolved into nothingness in this short breath.

The ground beneath his feet turned into a clean grass.

The sky overhead turned into a clear blue sky.

Only a small building stands alone on this empty meadow - this is the real residence of the science team.

The field of vision was almost unobstructed, and Giorno and the others, who had just solved the obstruction a few hundred meters away, also instantly saw Thomas and Li Qing on the other side.

However, Li Qing's mentality was a little explosive:

"How so?"

"Why didn't I change back right away?!"

The Director is badly injured and the "Pig Factory" disappears, but he is still a pig.

Not only him, but not a single of the hundreds of pigs on the farm turned back into a human.

Unrestrained by the pigsty, they looked at the grass and blue sky that suddenly appeared in front of them, not realizing what had just happened.

"It's useless."

Thomas suddenly said with a complicated expression:

"A person who has been turned into a pig by a supervisor will never recover—neither physically nor spiritually."

Although the system considers "Pig Factory" to be a control skill.

But from Thomas's point of view, this ability is more like an absolutely lethal attack:

It attacks the target's body and soul at the same time, causing irreparable damage to the soul while turning the body into a pig.

As long as you are hit, there is no possibility of reverting to the original state. The victim can only be a pig-like mentally retarded for the rest of his life, and he does not know how to resist at all.

That's why Thomas is so afraid of his supervisors.

But Li Qing was different, he was only hit by his body, but his soul survived that wave of attacks.

His soul is still intact and his consciousness is still there.

However, this will not allow his body to instantly turn back into a human, even if the "pig factory" has disappeared.

"It's over..."

Li Qing's face, if the pig's face also has a complexion, immediately becomes very ugly:

It's nothing just that the body hasn't changed back.

The explosion just now had already helped delay it for a few seconds, and Li Qing could now restart the data at any time.

As long as the "Pig Factory" no longer exists and is not under constant control, his digital body will automatically remove the negative state after a while.

However, it was just such a "short while" that the enemy could take his life.

"Damn, if you can't change it, you can't use your skills."

"Now the left front leg has been completely blown to pieces, and the regeneration of the body under the data needs to consume blood... In other words, I only have 10% HP at most when I restart the data. ”

If he could restore that flexible, fast, and powerful human body, and had systematic skills to use, Li Qing would have the confidence to evaluate that one percent of his HP and deal with the enemy.

But now, he is still a pig with no skills.

How can you survive in front of the enemy?

It is very likely that Qiao Runo and the others have not realized that this pig is Li Qing, and even if they do, they have no way to help when they are separated by a distance of several hundred meters.

And Thomas only needs to throw another grenade, or load a bullet and shoot, and Li Qing's life is over.

It's a desperate situation.

All the means have been exhausted, and he still has not been able to change his fate of imminent death.

At this moment, Li Qing really didn't know what to do.

However, just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, Thomas laughed:

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha..."

He laughed heartily, like a bird breaking free from a cage.

Tears quietly overflowed the corners of his eyes in this laughter.

Then, Thomas threw away the shotgun in his hand and smiled gratefully at Li Qing:

"I didn't expect you to really cooperate with me to do this."

"Thank you... You didn't disappoint me, Li Qing! ”

"Huh?"

Li Qing's eyes suddenly revealed a different color.

He couldn't help but think of something, and his eyes suddenly became shocked.

"Finally came out."

Thomas looked up at the blue sky that he had not seen for a long time, breathing in the fresh air without smell, and his expression was intoxicated.

He said to Li Qing more and more gratefully:

"With a single thought, the director can turn me into a pig forever."

"Under his surveillance, I can't do anything against his will."

"So, it's only with your hand that I can throw the grenade in there right under the director's nose - the grenade 'accidentally missed' because of you, and even if the explosion doesn't succeed in knocking the director down, he won't be aware of my betrayal."

Hearing this, the shock in Li Qing's eyes became more and more intense:

Truly...

The small habit of only hitting the left front leg is indeed very deliberate when I think about it now.

And the reason why he was able to get close to the sewage outlet and have a chance to detonate the biogas digester was because Thomas threw him here with his stand-in ability.

And the previous reload mistake ...

If Thomas hadn't dropped the bullet on the ground in such a "panic", he would not have been able to get close to him at all.

Could it be that Thomas really wanted to get rid of the director with his own hands from the beginning?

Li Qing was stunned for a while, but at the same time, he did not relax his vigilance against the enemy.

It was not the first time he had seen anything about false surrender, and easily believing in an enemy would only bring great risks to himself and his companions.

"Don't worry."

Thomas understood the vigilance in Li Qing's eyes.

He looked up at the blue sky, and his sigh was full of sincerity:

"I'm a human now, not a pig in captivity."
