Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 194 Cause and Effect
Although there was a lot of noise, this thing just drilled out from the ground, and did not turn into a ferocious monster as everyone imagined.

It looks like it will take some time for it to grow.

However, we have to face the fact that Xinghuo will probably do his best to capture Xu Qi again.

However, this time Lu Yuning killed another group of Xinghuo people. Including the previous two groups, there should be four or five teams left. According to their previous equipment, there are probably about fifteen psychics.

This number is already terrifying, but they now have quite a few people with special abilities, and with Xu Qi, Chen Hong and others, their strength is no weaker than theirs.

But Xu Qi didn’t know what was going on and didn’t know when he would wake up.

If you wake up successfully, the mutated bees in the forest will also be an important means of defense against enemies.

These were Lu Yuning’s thoughts in the short term.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Yuning looked at the people on the Caoxing boat and found that Zhang Xinyue was also there, which meant that they should have gone back.

Everyone looked at him, not knowing what to say. There was curiosity in their eyes, but more of it was joy.

"We... thought you were trapped inside, so we called Xinyue over to find out where their base is. We didn't expect you to suddenly come out. What's going on?"

Lu Yuning said, "Let's leave here first, the matter is not over yet."

Everyone nodded, and under the control of Li Wengang and Zhang Muyan, the grass boat quickly passed through the grass.

Since the way out was downhill, it was much easier, and I just had to glide almost all the way to the road.

After getting out of the bushes, Lu Yuning finally breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone got off the boat and walked towards the tree hole.

On the way, Lu Yuning gave a brief account of the trip to the Spark Base. When he realized that the giant tree that suddenly grew out was a living thing, his expression was a little shocked.

"This thing...how can we fight it? It's too big."

Lu Yuning shook his head. "Right now, it seems like the symbiote won't attack directly. We're probably facing more Starfire mutants, and they're likely to be fearless and unafraid. Most of them have actually been transformed by the symbiote."

"This thing can't hit people by itself?"

"Not really, but it's not a physical attack. It's more like a magical attack. It uses emotions to devour the opponent's consciousness and become a part of the symbiote."

Lu Yuning briefly explained how the symbiote had previously launched attacks.

Everyone was shocked.

"Doesn't that mean this thing will become stronger and stronger?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Its own ability should also have a control limit, just like my ability is related to the surface area of ​​an object. However, as its own ability improves, its upper limit may gradually increase."

Zhang Muyan interrupted.

Lu Yuning nodded, somewhat agreeing with him, and he suspected that the symbiote's ability should be similar to his time ability, with a recovery time. Otherwise, everyone in Starfire should have been assimilated.

However, there were obviously many people outside the incubator who were not aware of the manipulation.

"No matter what, we need to prepare as soon as possible, the storm is about to come..."

...

The conversation between the few of them temporarily ended because Xu Qi finally woke up.

She moaned softly, then slowly opened her eyes, then was obviously stunned for a moment. "Here? Huh? I'm out?"

Apparently, Xu Qi's final memory still remains in the Spark Base.

She sat up and looked at the concerned crowd, her face full of questions.

"How do you feel?" Lu Yuning asked.

What he feared most was that Xu Qi would be assimilated, but from what President Xinghuo said, she should be fine.

Xu Qi shook her head, then nodded and continued, "My head hurts, but I don't feel anything else. But...Yu Ning, I seem to have dreamed about you."

"Ok?"

"I dreamed that you were standing on the edge of a cliff. I called you and you responded. Then I saw that you seemed to be in some pain." Xu Qi rubbed his head, recalling the scene in his dream.

Lu Yuning was stunned. Wasn't this scene exactly the first illusion he experienced on the third floor? In other words, the voice at that time was indeed Xu Qi's?

Doesn’t that mean Xu Qi’s consciousness can invade the consciousness of the symbiote?
So it might be that Xu Qi's sudden birth destroyed the original plan of the symbiote and indirectly awakened his split consciousness.

According to the situation at that time, I would most likely find a way to enter the platform in the middle of the hole.

So the thing on the platform at that time might have been the killer move, and Xu Qi said that he couldn't see anyone else, so the Liu Ming next to him at the time might have been fake.

Lu Yuning couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The situation at that time might have been really dangerous. Fortunately, Xu Qi suddenly intervened, and with the reminder of the split consciousness, he woke up.

Otherwise, if things continue to develop like this, even if you split your consciousness you might not be able to wake yourself up.

In other words, Xu Qi can interfere with the illusion of this symbiote, which is probably what President Xinghuo meant by the mark.

This thing is really disgusting. It has weird abilities and you will fall into its trap if you are not careful.

However, it is almost inevitable that we will have to come into contact with it next, but we don’t know the extent of its capabilities.

Xu Qi suddenly thought of something and continued, "By the way, I've met the president of Xinghuo. He's quite pitiful."

Lu Yuning shook his head. "It's all his own fault. He has a special ability, so he can only make one choice. I understand that, but he has to bear the consequences himself. Clearly, this mutated plant is beyond his control."

"So you knew everything"

Lu Yuning briefly recounted the conversation between him and President Xinghuo.

Xu Qi obviously didn't expect this to happen, and her mood became a little depressed: "I have to trouble you again, I'm really... sorry, although I want to do better, but it seems that every time I cause trouble, it always ends up affecting you."

"Everything has its own cause and effect. Maybe I will have to trouble you in the future. Don't think too much. This is my own choice." Lu Yuning comforted him.

The cause and effect he was talking about was naturally his consciousness, which had been guiding him to save Xu Qi. Obviously, she would be of great help to him in the future. Moreover, Xu Qi's experience this time was obviously caused by his last change of the timeline, so it was reasonable and emotional to save her.

"Yes, Qiqi, stop talking. We are a family now. There is no need to feel burdened. No matter what happens in the future, we will bear it together. Have confidence," Zhang Xinyue also comforted.

"…Um"

Xu Qi nodded obediently and temporarily put aside the guilt. What was more important now was to prepare to face the possible storm that was coming.
