Chapter 119: Searching for Life

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After reading the contents of the email, Feng Qi finally knew the secret of the Scarlet Research Institute.

It turned out that a group of nameless heroes who had silently contributed and were even willing to sacrifice themselves to participate in the Rune Transformers Project had gathered here.

They had always been on the side of humans and had never given up hope.

After reading the email messages, he already had a rough answer in his heart about how the Scarlet Research Institute would develop in the future.

In the end, the counter-infiltration plan failed.

Otherwise, what he would see in this future dream should not be the dilapidated scene after the destruction of human civilization.

He guessed that as the enemies lurking in the dark gradually launched their plans against the Scarlet Research Institute. The situation was not optimistic when the latter began their subsequent plans.

However, the Scarlet Research Institute would definitely not fall so easily.

After all, it was one of the few special organizations with the highest authority. Its foundation was very deep and strong. Unless the organization hiding in the dark chose to fall out with them and engage in an all-out war, it would not be able to easily destroy the Scarlet Research Institute.

There would definitely be a battle between the two sides.

However, the mysterious faction was in the dark, and the Scarlet Research Institute was in a very passive situation when fighting against it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that the last time he checked the future database, he saw that Wei Wei was evaluated as a “human traitor” by the future.

Now, he felt that perhaps Wei Wei had exposed her situation during a subsequent operation. It was very likely that she would expose information that was disadvantageous to the Scarlet Research Institute, so she chose to sacrifice herself to protect them.

[It’s also possible that the mysterious force has caught information that is harmful to the Scarlet Research Institute and is related to Wei Wei. The Scarlet Research Institute chose to cut off its arm to seek survival and used Wei Wei’s sacrifice to protect itself.]

[Wei Wei chose to accept it calmly. She used her death in exchange for the continuation of the Scarlet Research Institute and resisted all the unfavorable loopholes that were exposed.]

Hearing the narrator’s words, Feng Qi could not help but sigh.

No matter the reason, Wei Wei’s life was destined to end in tragedy.

She had worked hard for the future of humanity all her life, but in the end, she became a “sinner” despised by the world.

[Isn’t this what you’ve experienced in the future? You have to understand that the path to a beautiful future is filled with thorns and twists. However, the most respectable thing about humans is their noble posture in the face of despair. There will always be people who are unwilling to submit, even if the hope is slim… Wei Wei is like this, and so are you.]

After hearing the narrator’s words, Feng Qi shook his head helplessly.

“There’s no need to comfort me. I’m fine. I’m not that fragile.”

[That’s good. Now that you know that the Scarlet Research Institute is an ally, perhaps you can choose to cooperate with it. For example, the Brain in the Vat plan proposed by Mo Fei. Perhaps the Scarlet Research Institute can help you realize it.]

[After all, the biological sciences are what the Scarlet Research Institute is best at. If you choose to cooperate with them, next time, you might be able to find your brain in the underground base of the Scarlet Research Institute.]

“But if I really carry out this plan, it will be hard on my future self.”

[You’ll still be you in the future. Both of you have the same thoughts. If you’re the one who needs to sacrifice one day, you won’t hesitate, so there’s no need to feel guilty. Everything is for the future… Of course, if you really feel bad, you can kowtow to your future self a few times.]

“Maybe I can even get an authorized account from the Scarlet Research Institute.”

[Yes, as long as the Scarlet Research Institute can last until the Star City Shelter is established, it will definitely be able to help you obtain an authorized account. If the Scarlet Research Institute was destroyed by the dark forces before the shelter was established, the situation might not be the same. In short, this is a timeline that can be tried.]

“That makes sense.” Feng Qi immediately nodded.

[Cut it. Blackie is on its way here. It’s almost time to leave first. It took too much time reading the email messages this time.]

Hearing the narrator’s reminder, he looked at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and walked towards the metal passageway without hesitation.

After obtaining the Blood Source and Evil Thoughts, his strength had indeed increased significantly. However, he knew his own limits. This ability was nothing in front of Blackie.

Following the inclined metal passageway, he left Star City’s underground shelter and came to the outside world.

After scanning his surroundings, he walked east and couldn’t help but ask, “Narrator, you’ve been guiding me east. What exactly is there?”

[I didn’t want to answer in the past because you were too weak. It was difficult for you to even walk to the city ruins. You wouldn’t be able to do it even if I told you, but perhaps you can give it a try now.]

[I sensed a faint wisp of life in the east, as well as countless energy nodes further away. This wisp of life especially, seems to be incompatible with this world. I don’t know what it is.]

“Incompatible with the world?”

The narrator’s words stunned him. He could not help but guess that the wisp of life mentioned by the narrator was a human survivor.

This world had already been enveloped by the domain field. It seemed that a life source that could appear incompatible with the domain field could only be life from the original world.

At this thought, Feng immediately asked, “Is it far from where I am?”

[Given your current movement speed and strength, you definitely won’t be able to reach the energy nodes unless you can deal with Blackie, who has been chasing you. As for the location of that life source, you might be able to reach it. You can give it a try.]

“Then let’s do that.” Feng Qi immediately nodded.

After making his decision, he ran towards the city ruins.

Flying with psychokinesis was fast, but it was unsustainable, so he changed his strategy this time.

As he ran, he willed his thoughts. Immediately, invisible psyche power seeped out of his body and turned into a drive behind him, pushing him forward.

This method consumed less mental strength. At the same time, his running speed increased greatly, and he was much faster than before.

[Ah Qi, you’re smart. You actually thought of a new way to use psychokinesis so quickly.]

“I’ve always been so smart.”

[That’s right, you got that from me.]

“Shut up!”

It only took Feng Qi half of the time he used to spend to arrive at the city ruins.

Then, he slowed down.

As he looked around, he suddenly looked forward to meeting the blood-colored eye again because killing it would increase the strength of his mental power.

[Give up. Even if you meet it, you won’t be able to defeat it. Do you think you’re lucky enough to reap the benefits every time?]

[Lastly, listen to my advice. It’s not too late to turn back now. Let’s take the path of a muscular man. When the time comes, we’ll collapse a mountain with a punch, shatter the ground with a punch, and use our fists to kill the enemy.]

After hearing the narrator’s ridicule, Feng Qi was slightly speechless.

“Can’t I cultivate both my body and spells?”

[Dual cultivation? Let me imagine… Why did I imagine a muscular man holding a magic light stick? Demons and ghosts, be gone, Pui! You can’t dual cultivate. Magic will taint you.]

After hearing the narrator’s words, he automatically imagined the scene and felt a chill in his heart.

“Don’t disgust me. The dual cultivation I’m talking about is of combat and spell. It’s not the dual cultivation you described in terms of appearance.”

(Pui, disgusting!]

“Pfft, the scene you imagined is disgusting!”

While bickering, Feng Qi did not let down his guard. He kept observing his surroundings.

The further east he went, the more frequently domain creatures appeared.

Although he already had the ability to protect himself, he felt that it was better to be more stable before “picking up” Suction Cup.

He continued to advance along the familiar route. During this period, as long as he saw domain creatures from afar, Feng Qi would choose to take a detour and try his best to avoid using his life-saving abilities.

This time, his target was the “weak life source” mentioned by the narrator. Time was very important to him.

Even with Suction Cup’s help to stall for time, he might not be able to find a weak life source in a limited period of time.

As he advanced, he did not spare go of the spiritual plants that were on the way either. With the instructions of the narrator, he collected them and placed them into his body.

These spiritual plants could help Suction Cup recover its strength and fight for more time in the future dream.

After a few hours of traveling, Feng Qi arrived at the abandoned hospital area.

He slowed down and began to search for traces of Suction Cup.

After observing the surroundings of the abandoned hospital, he walked into it.

In the end, he saw Suction Cup squatting on the ground in a daze, staring blankly at the ground.

She seemed to have sensed his existence and suddenly looked up at him.

After their gazes met briefly, he grinned.

“Suction Cup, I came to pick you up with delicious food.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his body was thrown back by the impact of Suction Cup and fell heavily to the ground.

He got up from the ground and looked down at the adorable Suction Cup. Then, he reached out and rubbed her little head.

The birth of Suction Cup this time was still somewhat related to his future self.

After all, he had been Wei Wei’s assistant for a period of time in this timeline. During this period, he must have assisted in Mu Qing’s cloning and replication experiments.

[Tsk tsk, how shameless. Being in charge of pouring coffee for Wei Wei can be considered participating in the creation project of little Suction Cup? Pui!]

“I can’t be bothered with you.”

Feng Qi lowered his head to look at Suction Cup again. Then, he reached out and took out a spiritual plant that emitted a fragrance from his chest. He brought it to her mouth.

“Eat.”

Suction Cup stretched out her head and sniffed the spiritual plant. Then, she opened her mouth and took a big bite.

After tasting it, her grayish-white eyes lit up with starlight. In a few bites, she swallowed the spiritual plant.

After feeding the four spiritual plants picked along the way to Suction Cup, Feng Qi decided to continue on his way with her.

This time, he did not want to return to the Star City Shelter. He planned to continue exploring east and try to find the weak life source mentioned by the narrator.

It was completely unknown if he could find it, so time was very tight.

For this reason, he even gave up exploring the underground laboratory of the second basement of the Scarlet Research Institute base.

Before traveling, Feng Qi looked around and climbed to the top of a tall building. He began to determine Blackie’s location.

Under normal circumstances, the distance between Blackie and him wouldn’t be too far.

Therefore, without using Suction Cup, it was best to find an opponent for Blackie and delay its advancement.

As for Suction Cup, she would be his protective divine artifact on the way to the east.

Without the protection of Suction Cup, he felt that it was very likely that he would die on the way.

After confirming Blackie’s current location, Feng Qi looked down at the nearby area and began to search for domain creatures.

With the help of the narrator, he quickly found an opponent for Blackie.

This was an elemental lifeform that was covered in flashing lightning.

Its body was almost transparent, and one could clearly see the circular blue energy core inside. At this moment, it was lying in a corner of the street, its entire body surrounded by electric arcs, looking very dangerous.

After confirming his target, Feng Qi jumped down from above.

Just as his feet were about to touch the ground, psychokinesis seeped out of his body and held him firmly.

“It’s useful!

After dispersing his psyche power and landing on his feet, Feng Qi grinned.

[Pfft! The way you landed without creating a huge pit on the ground is not masculine at all!]
