Chapter 697: Dilemma

Wu Qi's body was soaked in the icy rain, and the last trace of vitality and body temperature also disappeared with the flowing rain. His consciousness was lost in the dark and boundless deep-sea world at the moment, and even if the life of the main body was dying, his consciousness still did not have enough power to float to the "surface".

Wu Qi couldn't perceive anything in the outside world, time and space, all of which didn't exist in his consciousness. In fact, time and space have always existed in the real world, and it is not they that disappear, but the consciousness of living individuals.

The inability to perceive, to interfere with reality, and then to erase itself, is the death of life. Wu Qi's body had been reduced to a corpse, and his consciousness was on the last stage of extinction.

As long as his consciousness body completely plunges into the bottomless deep sea, he will disappear into the world forever at a certain moment.

Suddenly, a wonderful energy projected from the surface of the shimmering water, all the way to the extreme depths of the deep sea, reflecting on Wu Qi's sleeping consciousness body. This energy seemed to be a helping hand from heaven, giving Wu Qi's sleeping consciousness a long-lost warmth.

Wu Qi's consciousness body was still asleep, but it was supported by this energy and slowly approached the water. It wasn't until he was very close to the surface of the water that Wu Qi's consciousness body had traces of opening his eyes slightly.

The gurgling sound of running water was the first sound Wu Qi heard after he suddenly regained his hearing, followed by a cold sensation that made his brain cold to tingle. Wu Qi struggled to open his eyes, and the blurred light and the scenery were put together piece by piece like a puzzle, and it took four or five seconds to completely replace the darkness that could not see anything clearly.

A raindrop ticked on Wu Qi's eyeballs, Wu Qi subconsciously closed his eyes and frowned, and his resuscitation consciousness quickly extended from his face to his torso and limbs. Wu Qi supported his body with his left hand, and finally got up from the ground soaked in cold rain.

Just woke up, Wu Qi couldn't mobilize his previous memories with great effort. The first half of his memory was still stuck in running wildly with the flames of the world on his shoulder, and then the memory came to an abrupt end.

Time seemed to have passed long times when his memory was interrupted, the weather changed from a clear sky to a rainy sky, and the airburst whale disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the water-filled pits on the plains behind him, the memory images before the coma would have been like a dream.

Wu Qi moved the muscles of his whole body and tried to get up. In the process of getting up, Wu Qi saw that his torso, hands and feet were burned to black charcoal, and he thought that he could survive such a serious injury, and he must not live up to this luck.

The top priority is to first find a third-order plague species with strong life force, suck its blood, and regenerate the injuries all over the body with the recovery power that burst out during atavistic evolution.

Wu Qi raised his right hand, and the handle of the long knife and his right hand clenched with five fingers were completely sintered in this one. He swung the long knife twice, and found that the remaining strength of the arm muscles was not bad, not even like the strength of a severe burn.

Wu Qi put down his right arm with satisfaction and walked step by step into the leafy jungle at the foot of Yunfeng.

After entering this jungle, Wu Qi felt as if he had entered a large world full of everything. Perhaps the memory fragments before the coma became very profound after recalling, Wu Qi had seen the bare valley with sparse forest belts, and then walked into the dense jungle with the breath and traces of countless small lives, and there was always a feeling that he had finally returned to the normal mountain forest.

Wu Qi spread out the perceptual net, looking for the traces left by the powerful beasts among the trees and shrubs as he advanced. A moment later, Wu Qi caught a glimpse of a big tree that had fallen to the ground in the vast sea of trees. He trotted over to inspect it, and the broken section of the tree was completely black, scorched.

The stem of this tree is as thick as three people hugging each other, and the surface of the tree is as hard as iron sheets, making it a common mutant plant. A weapon that could cut the cross-section of such a tree extremely flat, the first thing that came to Wu Qi's mind was the energy lightsaber.

The only tree in the vast sea of trees was down, and he could see it from a distance and rush to it, as if it had been deliberately left by someone.

"Is it Renee?"

Wu Qi turned to the other side of the fallen tree, and a palm-sized "E" was written on the bark. Each stroke of the "E" is scorched by the tip of the energy lightsaber piercing into the bark of the tree.

This is the letter of the West, and when it appears in such a place, it is almost certain that it stands for "East Direction".

Wu Qi looked up, it was a rainy day at the moment, and he couldn't distinguish the east, west, north and south directions through the sun. He walked over to another tree of considerable size and slashed it sideways. The indestructible long knife pierced through, and after a series of noises of canopy rubbing passed, the damaged tree fell to the ground.

The rings of the canopy are sparse on the right, so the right is south, the left is north, and the east is directly in front.

After Wu Qi judged the direction, he was about to follow this clue all the way to the east. Just as Wu Qi started, the right part of his neck burst out with a strong sense of electricity. Wu Qi's attention was focused on the side of his right hand for a moment, and the long knife slashed a crescent-like arc from the bottom to the top, colliding with a sharp metal object with a sonorous sound.

Wu Qi's obsidian-like eyes saw clearly what was coming, it was a very smooth military dagger!

"That's not right!"

Wu Qi reacted, and at this moment, a murderous shadow had swept behind him. The dazzling yellow blade of light made a sharp turn in the air, and slashed sharply at the left side of Wu Qi's neck at a sharp angle.

This is a pretended killing move, and there is only one enemy, but it can be flanked left and right by driving objects in the air!

At such a close distance, Wu Qi's hunter intuition was also used for a while, and he had no room to dodge at all.

Wu Qi made the most combative counterattack between the lightning and flint. His left hand aimed at the enemy's hand wielding the energy lightsaber with lightning speed, the speed of the energy lightsaber cut too fast, Wu Qi directly waved his hand through a part of the high-energy sword blade, and grabbed the enemy's sword-holding hand at the shortest distance, preventing the enemy's hand from moving forward again.

The enemy's hand is smaller than his, and it feels noticeably slender and smooth to the touch. But the strength of such a hand was not weak at all, Wu Qi's left palm dragged for an extra 0.2 seconds to fix the enemy's hand, and the energy light blade just cut into the left side of his neck at a distance of two centimeters, burning his neck muscles. Fortunately, he was still a little way away from touching his spine.

Wu Qi shouted, "Stop, Renee! ”

What caught Wu Qi's eyes was Renee's familiar pretty face. Renee's blue eyes were like a frozen lake, so cold that there was no trace of human color, and the movements of her hands exuded the same aura of murder. And after Wu Qi opened his mouth to stop Renee, Renee's eyes suddenly revealed a flash of disbelief.

Renee's right hand holding the sword did not relax, but broke free from Wu Qi's five-finger grasp more powerfully, and stepped on a short step to distance himself from Wu Qi.

There were five more cyan grip marks on her slender jade hand, which were the marks left by Wu Qi's hard grip just now.

"Are you Wu Qi?" Renee erected her energy blade and looked at the pitch-black "charcoal man" in front of her uncomfortably. If there is anything on this person's body that can match Wu Qi, it is only the three-foot long knife in his hand and a pair of obsidian-like eyes.

"Yes."

"Whew." Renee exhaled, feeling ridiculous at everything. She didn't expect that she almost chopped off Wu Qi's head by mistake.

With a sigh of relief, Renee sorted out the reality. She said: "I saw that someone very suspicious had found the mark I left and was about to follow the mark to find it, so I took action." Don't blame me. ”

Wu Qi touched the wound on his neck that was cut two centimeters by the energy lightsaber, and his mood slowly calmed down: "It's nothing. ”

"By the way, why are you here?" Renee looked Wu Qi up and down, and asked in a very ordinary tone.

"I tracked the footprints of my combat boots and the blasting marks left by the big whale at the top of the mountain." Wu Qi said truthfully.

Renee put away her energy lightsaber and slammed the handle back into her tactical belt. Investigating the traces of combat boots means that Wu Qi investigated the perimeter of the cave where her camp was located.

She said meaningfully, "I remember you said you wouldn't come to me. ”

Wu Qi could guess what Renee was going to say next, and it didn't matter to him about these things.

"Whatever that is. What is the current situation of your investigation team? You left such a clear trace on the periphery of the mountain forest at the foot of Yunfeng, who did you show it? Teammate? Wu Qi said seriously.

Renee listened to Wu Qi's tone seriously, so she gave up her plan to tease Wu Qi.

"Well, I'll confess. Our investigation team is in a huge crisis and we can't go back to the camp. ”

"Because of the whale entrenched on the top of Cloud Peak?"

"That's right. As long as we dare to leave the border of the forest and cross the plain 2 kilometers away without any cover, the 'air explosion whale' will definitely sense that someone wants to pass through the door of its lair and fly out of the lair to give us 'stowaways' a dozen popping bags. I might have been able to make it through alone, but it wasn't just me on this side of the forest, there were a few wounded soldiers. I don't stay to protect them, they won't live. ”

Renee's situation corresponded to one of Wu Qi's previous guesses. Wu Qi thought for a while and said, "Then why did you leave the camp for a few kilometers and come to such a far place, if those soldiers stayed in the camp honestly and didn't go far without getting hurt, there would be no such thing." ”

"Because our damaged field vehicles are still nearby. Shamefully, we were beaten to pieces by the Grey Queen's forces, and a group of wounded soldiers who survived fled into the mountains. Our team had rested long enough in this mountain range to return to the place where the car was abandoned. And there was no accident when I returned to look for the car the first few times, but this time I bumped into the airburst whale returning to the nest. ”
