Although Kevin went to attack the Sixth Herrscher, Li thought it would be better for him to go there to prevent any accidents, so he went to ask Wei Wei for help to transfer a flying vehicle.

As for why he didn't look for Mei and Mebius...the former wished she was as far away from the Herrscher crusade as possible and would never let her go up to the limelight, while the latter was closely watched by Mei because of his good relationship with Li, and had no chance to help Li mobilize the aircraft privately.

In comparison, Weiwei, whose behavior is so outrageous that even Mei can't figure it out, is the best choice.

Li didn't know if she could catch up with the crusade against the Sixth Herrscher, but she was not in a hurry, after all, there was no point in being anxious.

If he could catch up with the disaster and stop the Sixth Herrscher before she dragged the entire city with her to death, that would be great. If he couldn't catch up, comforting the sad and frustrated Kevin would be a good way to deepen his affection for her - and if he could gain some energy from the injuries he suffered with the Sixth Herrscher, that would be even better.

For a whole year, Li had no formal combat or training. This might be a big problem for others, but for Li...

She never trains.

When the plane approached the city where the Herrscher was, Li saw the bright lights and dense crowds of people in the city, and was a little surprised.

Oh, did Kevin stand up and successfully kill the Herrscher?

However, when the distance was shortened and Li could see the details of the city clearly, she found that things seemed different from what she had imagined.

"This is really..." Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not a massacre, but torture and revenge..."

Is this how the world line originally unfolded, or is it because I have changed?

The city's inhabitants did not die—yet.

Weird lines were spreading on the bodies of each of these panicked people, and many of them were even slowly dissipating into particles.

The instigator is self-evident, there is no other choice but the Herrscher.

Even though we reminded you so much, something unexpected still happened?

Volume 196: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : Concealing the Truth

For example, the Fire Moth had already set up a cordon around the city, and a large number of soldiers were maintaining order. It was no exaggeration to say that in all the years that Li had joined the Fire Moth, this was the largest operation she had ever seen, far larger than the one during the crusade against the Herrscher.

Even at this time, Li could see that the Fire Moth army was coming to the city in large numbers to support it.

Li can fully understand such a scale. After all, what needs to be done when fighting against Honkai is to kill the opponent, so it is only necessary to ensure sufficient combat power, and the number of people is not important. But now, what the Fire Moth needs to do is to maintain law and order.

This is a big city with nearly 10 million residents. Unfortunately, under the influence of the power of the Sixth Herrscher, almost all of them survived. Moreover, they did not die, and they were even able to move, but were tortured by intense pain and despair of death.

Not everyone has a steely will. When ordinary people encounter this kind of inexplicable pain and punishment, what will they do? Of course, they will ask for help.

In their eyes, the Fire Moth that rushed over was the one who could save them, but unfortunately the Fire Moth did not have this ability. The purpose of their trip was exactly the opposite, which was to seal these people into the city and prevent them from scattering out of the city.

No one knew whether the power of the Sixth Herrscher was contagious, so these people, as potential sources of infection, could not be allowed to leave. The Fire Moths set up a blockade outside the city, blocking all the victims inside the city and prohibiting them from taking a single step out.

"This is a terrible situation..."

Looking at the blockade formed by the Fire Moth soldiers, Li frowned.

Not only adults were blocked in this crowd, but also many children and the elderly. At this moment, they were all tortured by the black fog and desperately crowded towards the blockade. Some people prayed to God with tears in their eyes, some wailed and hoped that the soldiers could save their lives, and some angrily cursed at the Fire Moth, asking why they were not allowed to leave.

The scene was extremely noisy and chaotic, but there was undoubtedly only one main sound - crying and shouting.

The cries of being swept away by a sudden disaster, the cries of being blocked from survival by one's own kind...

"Sir, please save my child!"

Li noticed that a mother with a child knelt down not far away and kowtowed desperately: "I won't go out, I can stay here, please save her, she is only four years old - I beg you!!!"

"Mom, it hurts so much..." The little girl held in her mother's arms was very young. She looked very cute, but now most of her body was covered with strange lines, and her entire palm had turned into black mist and floated in the air.

If the adults could hold out for a little longer under the Sixth Herrscher's final attack before his death, then the children whose bodies were not as strong would undoubtedly become the first victims of this torture.

Even the soldiers forming the human wall could not bear to look away from such a miserable situation, but due to their duty, they still did not move.

The mother obviously knew that these soldiers who followed orders could not make decisions on their own, so the person she prayed to from the very beginning was the officer who was standing behind the soldiers and was dressed obviously differently from the other soldiers.

Seeing that man, Li just felt that it was fortunate that these people did not know that this matter was closely related to this "commander", otherwise the guns in the hands of the soldiers who maintained order might not be able to stop these desperate people.

"me......"

The armed soldiers seemed like a dividing line that split the world into two halves. On one side were countless victims stretching out their hands and begging for a chance to live, and on the other side was an empty camp and the culprit behind all this.

Kevin felt his hands and feet shaking, and his throat was so dry that he could hardly make a sound.

Whether he was fighting against the Herrscher or facing the Honkai Beast before, he had never felt such despair.

It was all his fault. It was because he hesitated at that time that he gave the Sixth Herrscher the opportunity to launch that attack on the city! Li had emphasized to himself so many times before these missions not to trust the Herrscher, but he still——!

Kevin could hear the mother's plea, but he couldn't save her child.

Once the isolation circle is broken, the whole thing will collapse immediately. Kevin cannot break this rule. He has already made a mistake once and cannot make it a second time...even if it means watching these people die in front of him because of him.

What on earth have I done?...

Kevin didn't dare look into the eyes of those people. His heart was filled with regret. If it was Li, this situation would not have happened, right? She would definitely be able to do better than him!

But it was too late.

Can I really bear the responsibility of the lives of ten million people?

How will Li and others view me when they find out that my actions have caused so many casualties?

Kevin couldn't imagine it. His whole brain was in a mess and even his thoughts were fragmented.

The strongest warrior of the Fire Moth who had once been able to stand on his own seemed to be missing again, leaving only a child who had done something wrong but didn't know how to take responsibility and was at a loss.

This helpless feeling reminded Kevin of the moment when he was cornered by the Temple-level Honkai Beast and was about to be killed. Li Lai saved him at that time... but who can save him now?

Who can help him save these astronomical lives...

"Kevin, what are you doing?"

"——Li?!"

A familiar voice came from behind Kevin, but when he looked, he was caught off guard and saw the person he least wanted to see at this moment.

"You, you are here--"

"I was a little worried, so I came anyway." Li's expression was gloomy, "But it seems that I am still too late."

Originally, the Fire Moth did not directly inform Li about the sixth collapse. She learned the news from Kevin, who was already ready to go. In addition, Li contacted Wei Wei to arrange a flying machine for her and traveled all the way from Dusk Street. To put it bluntly, the opportunity was gone.

"I..." Kevin's lips were trembling. It was the first time he saw Li with such a gloomy and serious expression.

There is no mistake, she came to question me -

"I didn't expect the Sixth Herrscher to be so much stronger than the previous Herrschers. He could even affect so many people when fighting you..." Li sighed and shook his head. "Don't think too much. These are unpredictable things. It's not your fault."

To Kevin's surprise, Li did not scold him, but comforted him not to think too much.

Kevin knew that it was not because Li was not angry, but because she did not know the truth of the matter.

Li thought that he had tried his best, but the Sixth Herrscher was too strong, which led to this situation. But in fact, the reason why it became like this was simply because Kevin hesitated.

After all, he only reported this matter to the leader who was supervising the battle in real time, and they obviously would not tell this news to Li, whom they hated the most.

What should I do? Should I tell Li the truth...?

Kevin opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.

It doesn't matter if I don't tell it now, after all, Li will know the truth sooner or later...

Volume 197: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : Danger. Wei Wei Wei. Danger

"Kevin, don't worry too much. I received news from the doctor and the others. This incident has become an urgent matter for the Fire Moth. Most of the research departments of the Fire Moth will start to deal with this matter."

Looking at Kevin who was still depressed and silent, Li held his trembling hand and comforted him softly: "It's okay, think about Mei, Mebius, and Velvet, they are all the top geniuses of mankind, they can definitely solve this incident. Now the people in this city are only eroded, not dead, which means there is still a chance to save everything..."

“Never give up on faith, Kevin.”

"I--"

Kevin reluctantly raised his head, but suddenly met Li's eyes. There was no anxiety or uneasiness, only trust, determination and tenderness in his clear eyes.

"Leave everything here to me. You just finished fighting the Sixth Herrscher and now you need to rest." Li gently wiped the dried blood off Kevin's face. "I can tell from one glance that you haven't rested at all since the battle."

"Li, I-I'd better stay here and watch the cordon. I'm worried that something unexpected might happen..." Kevin finally rejected Li's suggestion. He felt that he had not had any rest at all, and the current situation made it impossible for him to sleep.

"...I see. It seems that you have grown up, Kevin." So he did not insist. Li just looked at Kevin deeply, then chuckled and let go of his hand. "Then I'll leave this to you. I'll go to the command center to see the doctor first. This time, something happened that made her come directly to the scene."

"But Kevin, don't push yourself too hard... I can still help you now."

Li left, leaving Kevin alone in silence.

He was glad that Li didn't know the truth and didn't get angry; he was also sad that he chose to hide the truth from Li in the end.

But what's the point of all this? Sooner or later, Li will know the truth. If he knows that I'm not telling the truth, he will probably be even angrier...

And can Kevin's thoughts predict Li's future actions?

The answer is NO!

Yes, logically speaking, the leader would not tell Li about the progress of the subjugation war against the Sixth Herrscher - but this news would definitely be notified to all the senior executives, and Mei among the senior executives is Li's best source of information!

Mei didn't want Li to participate in the crusade against the Herrscher, but that didn't mean she didn't want Li to know the information. After all, Mei wanted to protect Li from the turmoil, not to imprison her.

After knowing that Li had arrived at the scene with the help of Velvet, Mei had no choice but to send all the details of the Sixth Herrscher crusade to Li in order to prevent Li from making a wrong judgment - which meant that Kevin's concealment was meaningless.

But Kevin's attitude gave Li room to perform.

After all, Kevin made such a big mistake. If Li wanted to take advantage of him now, he could of course slap Kevin in the face immediately, scold him, and ask him why he didn't listen to his advice and caused so many people to suffer.

At this time, Kevin would definitely be able to produce a lot of gold coins - but Li felt that it was not enough.

Even if I could scold Kevin until he knelt down and cried, and make him collapse, sad and guilty, the bulk of this relationship would not be for myself, but for the victims of this city.

So Li decided to change his role - he originally came over angrily to question Kevin, but after seeing the other party's depressed spirit, he softened his heart. In the end, he did not condemn Kevin, but pretended not to know the truth and comforted Kevin.

As for why I pretended not to know...firstly, it could show that I actually still have an opinion about Kevin's behavior, and secondly, I could plant a bomb in Kevin's place to explode gold coins in the future.

Do you think you have hidden it from her? Actually, she knows everything, but she just doesn't want you to be sad, so she deliberately let you lie!

How can we miss this classic segment~

However, Li's plan is not over yet. After all, her subsequent actions are her highlight.

-

"Alas, these people might as well just die."

In the temporary laboratory outside the camp, Wei Wei leaned back in a chair and sighed: "If they were all dead, it would be no different from the previous collapse, just with more casualties, but they didn't die... So many people were affected, and the Fire Moths had no way to deal with it. This is a big blow to the reputation of the organization."

"Although the Fire Moths are not a good thing, they are still a leadership organization for mankind. If there is not even this mediocre leadership organization, I think the scattered mankind can end the game early!"

Weiwei took out her phone and watched videos. Then she showed the video of the Fire Moth soldiers blocking the disaster-stricken residents to Mebius who was working on the lab table. "Look, there are so many people in the comment section scolding the Fire Moth for taking human lives lightly. I said that there is no point in doing this kind of propaganda every day. It's better for them to continue to be a hidden organization~"

"Vilvi, did you come here just to watch videos?" Mebius turned around and glared at Vilvi. "This city has a population of seven figures!"

"Even if it's seventeen figures, it's useless. After all, it's already like this."

Weiwei put away her phone, relaxed her shoulders nonchalantly, then stood up and glanced at Mebius's experimental data: "Well, it looks very similar to Honkai Disease. In essence, it is the erosion of the human body by Honkai energy, but it is more severe... Can we try this thing directly with the previous anti-Honkai potion?"

"I've tried it, and it does work." Mebius snorted. She knew about this kind of thing, of course. "But where can we find so many drugs? It would take a thousand lives to get back one of those drugs!"

"It's a pity that everyone killed by the Sixth Herrscher will turn into ash immediately, otherwise we would be able to harvest 10,000 potions at once~"

Looking at Vivi who was sitting back in the chair and laughing, Mebius' eyes were slightly cold: "... Vivi, sometimes I really doubt whether it was the right choice for Li to save you so desperately."

"Don't say that. I was just joking. You don't think I'm really that inhumane, do you?"

Wei Wei propped her chin up and looked at Mebius with an unfathomable look: "If I really had to choose, I would choose some more effective methods to solve this problem - for example, the new drug you once developed?"

"..."

Mobius's gaze often makes people feel cold, but that is actually just her personality. This notorious scientist is surprisingly humane. Although the experiments she conducts are always dangerous, she will not stare at a person with the intention of killing him or her.

But this time, when Wei Wei noticed the other party's cold gaze, she had a different feeling. She could say responsibly that the look in Mobius's eyes at that moment undoubtedly had murderous intent towards her - even more terrifying than when he saw her provoking an extermination war among monkeys on that island.

"How did you know that?"

Mebius' voice was calm, but Velvet was sure that if she said something wrong, this doctor who usually looked easy to bully would probably find a way to keep her here forever.

But she is Wei Wei, she is never afraid~
