Myriad Paths

In the desert, in the convoy.

Li Qi was watched warily by a group of people, and his body had been searched to make sure there were no weapons.

He was then surrounded by a group of people with at least ten guns pointed at him.

The only one who didn't hold a gun was the middle-aged man at the head. He looked at Li Qi with a critical eye, trying to see through this city man.

But no matter how he looked, he couldn't see emotions like fear in the other person.

Therefore, he gave up this kind of sizing and said to Li Qi: "I'm warning you, if you don't fulfill your promise of clear water here, I will bury you in the ground."

Then, he sat down cross-legged: "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

Seeing that the other party was finally willing to communicate, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these people were still obedient.

So, he asked: "I want to ask, how long have you been living like this?"

"Tsk..." A young man made a mocking sound.

"Quiet, it's enough for me to speak here. Go look outside and be prepared." The middle-aged man frowned and said to the young man.

The young man did not dare to say anything. He just stared at Li Qi displeasedly and then went outside with a gun to guard against possible enemies.

It can be seen that there is still hostility towards Li Qi here.

No, it’s not hostility towards ‘Li Qi’, but towards ‘city people’.

"How long does it last? Of course it starts from birth, but we were in the polar regions before, and we have only recently arrived next to Zhang's satellite cities." The man replied.

"Satellite city?" This was the first time Li Qi heard this term.

"Don't you people in the city call it that? I still know this name from your mouth. Anyway, it's those big cities. You know, the cities surrounding the oil extraction plant are like satellites." Man replied.

"Did it start when I was born? Do you know how long it takes?" Li Qi asked again.

"From my grandfather's generation, when I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that there used to be cities everywhere, and now these roads in the desert were built at that time, but starting from my grandfather's generation, they began to decrease. ”

"After that, we won't be able to feed so many people. Only the people in the satellite city can survive. As for us, we will be left outside." The man said in a relaxed tone.

It can be seen that he really doesn't care about this. He just wants to answer the questions quickly and get the clear water that the city man in front of him is talking about.

But Li Qi could hear the horror in it.

Of all the people in the world, only those in the satellite city survived? The rest...were all abandoned?

How many people died...?

Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end.

No wonder the wasteland outside looks like this...

"Then you are the descendants of the survivors at that time?" Li Qi asked.

"Yeah, there's no other way. People have to survive. But it's different from you. There's no water outside, and we can't farm. But it's okay. After all, the satellite cities have to exchange supplies, so they can only eat your transportation. The team is here," the man said.

When he said this, he seemed to have a faint threatening aura.

"That's it." Li Qi was not frightened, but silently remembered it and continued to ask questions.

Seeing that Li Qi was still calm, the man curled his lips. He didn't expect this city man to be so courageous.

"If that's the case, how did you get your weapons? Even if you can grab them now, where did you get the original weapons?" Li Qi asked again.

"I can't tell you this, but don't think of using this as an excuse not to give us water. As I said before, I won't answer all your questions." The man emphasized.

"I understand, then skip this topic. By the way, have you heard of the rebel organization?" Li Qi continued to ask the next question.

Unexpectedly, men reacted greatly to this question!

He directly picked up the gun, put it against Li Qi's forehead, and pressed the trigger without hesitation!

However, he is just an ordinary person.

Moreover, Li Qi was faster. He immediately lowered his head and narrowly missed the bullet.

Fortunately, the ground was full of loose soil with little nutrition, so the bullets penetrated deep into the ground without ricocheting.

The boss fired, and the others immediately reacted, pulled off the safety, and were about to shoot Li Qi to death!

But Li Qi stood up at this time, raised his hand and said loudly: "Wait a minute! I heard the news from Shar, and I saved Shar!"

The man waved his hand to stop others from shooting.

"Who are you? What's your purpose?" He grabbed Li Qi's collar and stared at him closely.

"I told you, I saved Shar and heard about you wanderers outside from her mouth! So I wanted to ask!" Li Qi replied immediately without any hesitation.

"What proof do you have!" The man grabbed Li Qi tightly and shouted loudly.

"It's just that I come to you here alone now, isn't it?" Li Qi said.

"You'd better take out the water now, and then I'll let you get out of here alive. Otherwise, even if there is a foreshadowing in your arrangement, I will let them only get your body!" The man threatened Li. start.

And his attitude has already explained a lot of problems.

Sometimes, not saying anything is also an answer.

Li Qi sighed: "Okay, I understand."

Then, the man suddenly felt like his eyes were blooming!

What followed was severe pain all over the body.

Li Qi's body was twisted at an exaggerated angle, he took a few steps, turned around suddenly, shifted his weight to his back feet, his muscles twitched slightly, and his whole body looked like a sliding snake... No, I should say, like a carp jumping over a dragon gate. Like that, suddenly jump out and attack forward! Easily stretch your body to the limit where you can maintain balance.

Almost everyone present was caught off guard and had no time to react. They were hit by a blow on the hand holding the gun and had to step back.

The man who bore the brunt was beaten two or three times in a row. His whole body was bent like a shrimp, his face was extremely red, and his bile was almost knocked out.

They never thought that Li Qi could reach them from such a long distance. It seemed like they were far away, but his attack seemed to be in front of them in an instant!

By concentrating his strength and precise aiming, Li Qi completed more than ten attacks in an instant. After knocking down everyone, his body jumped directly into the air and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

When he accelerates with all his strength, his running speed can approach the speed of sound in a short time. The human eye cannot see clearly in the dark!

Therefore, Li Qi knocked down everyone in an instant and then escaped.

Only a group of surprised people were left.

Only then did everyone realize why this person had the courage to come in alone.

"Don't chase me!" Enduring the pain, the man shouted loudly: "Don't worry about that! Pack your things, let's move! Run!"

Think about that person’s purpose and where they come from. Those things can be discussed later.

Run away first!

The most important thing is not to die!

Everyone has been crawling around in the desert all year round, walking through death. Even children know the importance of quick movements.

So within a few seconds, almost all the vehicles started moving, and with a roar, the entire camp was quickly evacuated.

"Damn it! I should have shot him right then!" The man cursed loudly, covering the bruised area on his body.

"How could a person do that kind of action? How could a person run so fast!"

"That person...has his body been modified like Shar?"

The crowd was whispering, and under the roar of the car's engine, they kept guessing about the horrific thing just now.

Can that kind of speed and power really be achieved by humans?

He said he knew Shar, is that true?

After all, looking at his strength and speed, he is really similar to Shar.

The convoy roared forward in the night, and the group of people fled for their lives in shock, constantly discussing what happened to Li Qi earlier.

Especially those children, in addition to fear, there was also the excitement of seeing incredible situations, and they kept trying to imitate Li Qigang's actions.

But the adults were basically panicked, constantly looking outside and taking aim, for fear that the monster would catch up.

As soon as the middle-aged man felt better, he immediately asked: "Second brother, you haven't caught up with me yet, have you?"

"No, it's just...boss, there's something wrong." The second brother's tone was a little panicked.

"what is the problem?"

"The sky is falling into the water?" The second child's voice was trembling.

"How is it possible? Water has always been on the ground, how could it come down from the sky?" The middle-aged man frowned.

"It's true! Look!" The second child pointed out the window.

The man looked up.

But I saw small drops of water falling from the sky and dripping on the car window.

The convoy was in a mess and almost hit each other.

However, people became silent from the previous panic.

"Stop!" the man shouted over the car radio!

Then, before the car stopped, he opened the door and rushed in, bathing in the small water droplets falling from the sky.

He roared loudly. As a man in his fifties and the oldest person in the entire team, he burst out with energy and voice far beyond his age.

"Everyone, stop the car, come down and get the water!"

"I remembered! My grandpa once said! When water falls from the sky, this, this, this thing is called 'rain'!"

A rain fell in this area.

Countless people are delighted by this.

——————————

And at this moment.

The girl known as Number One is walking in the satellite city.

She is beautiful, but she is only beautiful, not to the level of a peerless beauty, probably to the level of a school beauty.

Just after she told Shar what happened, she rushed to the satellite city.

Because she had a premonition that she would meet the two young masters here.

Then, it's time to act.

Number 1 was walking quickly on the street. She still had some things to do before the young men took action.

In fact, it's not a very important thing, just relax your body and mind.

She rushed to the dilapidated part of the satellite city.

This place is still some distance from the edge of the city, but the dirty and smelly environment makes people can't help but cover their noses.

The narrow streets carved out a bunch of square courtyards in the open space.

In these courtyards and the rooms inside, there are many people living, some men and some women, some wearing clothes, some naked.

It's late at night now, some people still have the strength to move, but more people are already sleeping together in a mess.

Yes, they sleep on the floor.

Most of these yards are in dilapidated condition with piles of garbage.

The environment inside these yards depends on how many of the residents are not used to the garbage and rancid smell.

There is a place like this in every satellite city.

This is the nest of sin, filth and infectious diseases.

The company never cared about them. Most of these people were physically disabled and were "eliminated" from the oil field.

Yes, the company used the word "eliminated".

And they were the "city people" that the teams envied and feared before.

Not all city people have a good life. Only the people in the company have a normal supply of water.

No. 1 walked here.

A young girl who appeared in such a place at night would probably not have a good end.

But surprisingly, almost no one noticed her. She was like a ghost. Even if she walked past these people, she would be ignored.

"Alas..." She looked at these people and looked at the desert outside.

The company, and the immortals...

are the source of the world's troubles.

No. 1 walked to the center here, sat down, and then bit her finger and dripped blood.

The pale light surrounded her body, and the air drawn by her blood surrounded her body, like fireflies surging, and like the Milky Way falling into it.

Just like the galaxy she created in the room before.

Fresh air spread out.

Whether they were awake, asleep, or in a daze, they all suddenly felt that their bodies were lighter and their breathing seemed to be much smoother.

"In this way, the disease in this satellite city can be temporarily relieved for a while, but... it can't be eradicated." No. 1 thought to himself.

It is impossible to eradicate it.

If you want to eradicate it, you have to drive all the immortals out of this world.

Then the two companies will be destroyed, order will be reestablished, and the world will slowly recover.

While silently expelling the disease, No. 1 suddenly raised her head and looked at the horizon.

Is that... cloud?

Why is there a cloud?

Clouds should be the water vapor of the mountains. There is no such thing in the oil world. She has only heard about the existence of clouds and rain from other people outside the domain.

But at this time, the black cloud really appeared in the sky.

Then, water fell.

That is rain?

Why is there such a thing?

Wait, No. 1 suddenly stood up, stopped her bleeding, and her expression immediately became serious.

"Young Master...!" She gritted her teeth!

It must be the Young Master. Only the Young Master can control the celestial phenomena to this extent! Although she didn't know why the other party wanted to rain, it was obvious that her premonition had come true. Almost immediately, she pressed her hand on her temple and contacted the others: "The Young Master has appeared, in the east of Satellite City No. 4, about 20 miles." After saying that, she actually flew up and flew towards the place where it was raining.
