Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 172: Vision
There are several main reasons why Lu Yuning recognized that the person in front of him was not Xu Qi.

One was the reminder of his self-awareness. He had been having a slight headache since he met Xu Qi.

Combined with the intermittent hints, I roughly guessed that the timeline correction might be related to Xu Qi and his gang.

But there are so many people on their side that it is difficult to tell who they are.

There are actually quite a few people related to the previous incident, including myself, Chen Hong, Xu Ting, and so on.

The reason why the autonomous consciousness did not directly mention Xu Qi was probably because of certain rules.

What really exposed her was the question she asked Lu Yuning.

Since everyone was present at yesterday's combat meeting, Xu Qi also knew that Chen Hong and others were waiting for them at the fork in the road.

And when she asked whether they should go back to the shelter directly, it was obvious that she had completely forgotten about the matter.

It would be a bit far-fetched to say that I forgot. The only thing I could think of was that there was something wrong with the "Xu Qi" in front of me.

However, despite his suspicion, he still didn't dare to kill her casually, so he just tied her up with the materials.

It was hard to imagine that someone could switch a living person in front of Zhang Xinyue, so Lu Yuning even thought that there was something wrong with Zhang Xinyue as well, so he prepared to tie them both up first.

The remaining three people finally reacted at this time. Zou Yunxin quickly walked to Zhang Xinyue and whispered something in her ear.

Zhang Xinyue nodded and replied to him.

"Xinyue is real," Zou Yunxin said affirmatively.

Lu Yuning nodded, and with a thought, she untied the plastic rope on her body.

Zhang Xinyue also knew Lu Yuning's intention, so she was naturally not angry, but the look she gave Xu Qi was full of anger.

Lu Yuning looked at Xu Qi in front of him with a gloomy expression. He asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"Hey, don't be so fierce. Just call me Huanjing. I forgot my previous name."

"Where is Sister Xu Qi?" Zhang Xinyue asked angrily.

"Hehe, you're probably on your way to the Spark Base. If I had known you'd be discovered by that guy, I should have taken you away too. Now I feel a bit of a loss."

"Spark." Lu Yuning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be so arrogant, you can't run away," Wu Xiao said quickly.

"I told you, my name is Huanjing. I can transform anything. What you see now is just an illusion I created. My real self is already far away."

Xu Qi in front of them had a charming look on her face and spoke to everyone in a strange tone.

"You guys, you don't think that you can just let it go by killing two of our Starfire groups!"

Huan Jing's tone suddenly changed, and then he glanced at Lu Yuning with a bit of coldness.

Lu Yuning's expression changed drastically. It was obvious that Xinghuo already knew that they had killed Liu Yuan and Chen Taihong's groups before.

But Lu Yuning was a little confused. These two groups had obviously been completely cleared out, so why did the other party still know about it?

He thought about it and thought that these might be the few people that the Starfire Outpost had not dealt with before.

At that time, in addition to several people with special abilities, there were actually two other people in the outpost, plus a girl named Tong Ling who had been with Han Yingying before, a total of three people.

All he could think of was that these three people would know something about the situation.

However, there is one puzzling point. The outpost was obviously established after Liu Yuan and his trio appeared, which means that it is impossible for the people in the outpost to know about Liu Yuan at that time.

As for the affairs of Liu Yuan and others, only Wei Guang and others knew about it. Apart from them, Xu Qi only knew a small part.

He absolutely did not believe that there was a traitor within the Weiguang. Moreover, it was obvious that Huanjing's intention was to sneak into the shelter, which meant that the shelter had not been exposed.

This meant that Xinghuo had some special means to know what happened to his subordinates. Lu Yuning sighed inwardly, "I was still careless."

Although this incident seems accidental, it is actually inevitable. This is probably what the timeline correction means.

According to the original situation, Xu Qi should have been captured by the insect organization, so this incident would not have happened.

In other words, what is happening now is some kind of rule or will trying to repair the timeline?
This is probably what the split consciousness wants to say to itself, and the key to everything is basically certain to lie with Xu Qi.

The appearance of "Xu Qi" in front of him gradually changed, and then turned into a strange young woman.

"Since I've been discovered, I won't play with you anymore, but we'll meet again later, hehe."

As Huan Jing finished her words, her figure gradually became blurred.

This person's ability should be an illusion ability that can simulate other people's appearance and even voice.

And it's not just an ordinary illusion ability. The illusory characters she created obviously have some consciousness.

What is clear is that she could only create an illusion, otherwise Zhang Xinyue would not have been spared.

This person left Zhang Xinyue behind and obviously couldn't simulate two people, so he just switched Xu Qi away, trying to sneak into their shelter and wait for an opportunity to act.

But he didn't expect that it would eventually be discovered by Lu Yuning, or rather, by his split consciousness.

It is hard to understand how they managed to switch Xu Qi without anyone noticing, even Chipmunk didn't notice. It seems that Huanjing was not the only one there at the time, there must have been other accomplices.

After the illusion revealed its true form, the chipmunk beneath it stopped and began to get restless.

Lu Yuning quickly patted its head and comforted it: "Don't worry, I will help you rescue Xu Qi."

The chipmunk seemed to understand, gradually recovered its composure, and continued walking towards the fork in the road.

After this incident, Zhang Xinyue did not dare to be careless and kept conducting echo detection nearby, fearing that someone would follow her.

Several people quickly arrived at the bridge at the fork in the road. The people who were ambushing nearby breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the newcomers.

"It seems to be going smoothly," Liu Rui said.

Several people jumped off the chipmunk and remained silent.

Everyone immediately noticed the strange mood and quickly stopped laughing and gathered around.

"Hey, where's Xu Qi?"

Soon someone noticed something was wrong.

Lu Yuning sighed, and then briefly recounted what had happened to them before.

Everyone fell silent.

"That's a bit strange. How did the people from Xinghuo get through? We have been guarding this fork in the road. And if we take Xu Qi to the other side, we will have to pass through the territory of Fuxing," Liu Rui asked.

Lu Yuning was stunned. After he said that, she did feel that something was wrong.

The park is built along the river with two bridges in the middle, and there is one in front of them.

There is another one further ahead of the Fuxing Base.

If the people from Xinghuo wanted to take Xu Qi away, the road ahead would obviously be discovered by the people from Weiguang, so they could only go back from another bridge.

In this way, I should meet Lu Yuning and the others.

　The park chapter is basically going to be accelerated to its end. Although building a house can be described in a lot of words, it is boring to write, so I decided to go straight to the main storyline.
