Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

If the host dies at this time... then the 'parasite' will also 'die'. Immediately afterwards, the black tide that died within the host's body will force itself to transform and reincarnate."

"This reincarnation process is what I just called 'alienation.' You've already seen what the Black Tide clone looks like after the alienation, so I don't need to explain it further."

When Li Huaiyuan said this, Lin Qiutang and Tang Miao could hardly control the extreme fear and shock in their hearts.

Even Shen Qinyin, who had already made some assumptions and was mentally prepared, couldn't help but feel her nerves tremble.

"So, this is the real purpose of dropping nuclear bombs on the occupied areas on the front line?"

Lin Qiutang spoke first.

Her eyes widened, her pupils trembling violently, her cheeks pale, bloodless: "Pretend the defense line has fallen, let enough people act as hosts, be infected by the black tide, drain their 'energy', and then use nuclear bombs to mass-kill the infected.

When these infected people die, the black tide that 'died' in their bodies will 'transform' and become entities that can be killed..."

"This shows that the nuclear explosion in Huaibei Province and the nuclear explosion on the western defense line were premeditated."

Kana's face was extremely gloomy. Even someone as calm as her was furious with Li Huaiyuan: "You used hundreds of thousands of lives to destroy the Black Tide?"

"You can understand it that way." Li Huaiyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The other party's nonchalant attitude made Lin Qiutang extremely puzzled and angry.

She even ignored the other party's identity as the commander and slapped the table with a "bang".

The smooth table top was cracked by the slap.

"What do you mean by 'I understand this'? These are tens of millions of lives, and you're making such a hasty decision?!"

"Lin Qiutang." Li Huaiyuan called out the other party's name accurately, which made the latter stunned for a moment, "You were the leader of the investigation team in Yunlan City and you also came into contact with the Black Tide.

Tell me, how many of us do you think died because of the black tide?"

"..."

Lin Qiutang stammered, she couldn't answer this question.

After all, she left the official organization after the black tide swept through Yunlan City, so of course she was not aware of the subsequent population statistics.

But even if you use your toes you can guess that many people must have died.

Yunlan City is a living example. It was a big city with a permanent population of 600,000 to 700,000, but in the end, only less than 300 people survived and left by train.

Seeing that Lin Qiutang couldn't answer, Li Huaiyuan spoke up: "Before the apocalypse, our country's population was 13.7 billion. A month after the apocalypse, it dropped sharply to 3.2 million. Not long after that, the black tide appeared.

We are now down to a population of only 22 million. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Qiutang was speechless.

To exchange the death of hundreds of thousands of people for the survival of 22 million people is not a choice at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are still alive today thanks to these hundreds of thousands of people.

As the one who survived by "stepping on the bones of others", she seems to have no right to criticize the other party's decision.

If it were her, she would probably make the same choice.

I cannot support human experimentation just because I am not the one on the operating table, but many times, "we" are among the "majority".

Shen Qiyin listened quietly.

Her eyes were dim, and the grief-stricken and twisted faces of the alienated Black Tide clones appeared in her mind.

No wonder the old man in yellow asked her how much the life of an ordinary person is worth, and no wonder he said he was lucky because she didn't have to make such a choice.

She shook her head slightly, then whispered, "The price of survival is high, Commander Li."

"I don't care about the cost, I only care about the result." Li Huaiyuan responded calmly, "Let more and stronger people survive. This is the result I want."

At this point, Li Huaiyuan glanced at his watch, stood up, and patted his sleeves: "It's almost time, I should go to the front line. This is a tough battle, maybe this is the last time we meet."

"I thought you were here to rush us to the battlefield."

"There's no need. Forcing power will only become a hidden danger that threatens the team. I don't like laying mines for myself."

Li Huaiyuan's voice was cold but frank, "You have no obligation to save the people. You just happen to have the power."

"...If we were to transform the Kuroshio into a different species, many people would die. Is there really no other way?"

“There aren’t many fairy tales in this world, but there is never a shortage of heroes who dare to be the first.”

Li Huaiyuan patted his heart as if to comfort himself, "The black tide on the front line began to spread last night. Up to now, it is estimated that more than 40 people have been infected.

This time, they did it voluntarily, without being forced or deceived by anyone."

After throwing down these words, he turned and strode away.

The sound of military boots tapping on the floor was so crisp that it echoed in the waiting hall for a long time.

Soul Resonance: Justice

[Ability Acquired: Golden Law (Lv.2)]

[Golden Rule: You can designate a "Bonder" to form an "ally" with you. When fighting together, your abilities will be partially enhanced, and when they are damaged during this period, you will receive more "Desire Stone Compensation."]

Obtain Desire Stone: 300

[Current Desire Stone: 3110]

"Looking" at the notebook that appeared to assist people in soul resonance upgrade prompts, Shen Qiyin couldn't help but sigh.

She looked around, and everyone's eyes were on her.

They may be sad, expectant, heavy-hearted, or helpless.

Shen Qiyin forced a smile and said solemnly: "I will go, don't worry."

After hearing this, Tang Miao and Lin Qiutang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Lin Qiutang, tears welled up in her eyes.

If there weren't other people here, she would definitely hug Shen Qinyin and kiss her hard a few times.

Through the glass of the waiting room, Shen Qinyin watched Li Huaiyuan board the plane and fly away from the airport.

She took out a map and checked the straight-line distance between Yunchuan City and the northern front line of the Gyeonggi-do region. The straight-line distance was a full 2600 kilometers.

Titan's travel speed is about 120 kilometers per hour. If we rush there without sleep for two days, we can just catch up.

This was also due to the lack of desire stones. The Suzaku tail feathers she got from the southern ruins needed to be installed on the Titan, which also required 4000 desire stones. She was currently short of nearly 900 of them.

If the Suzaku tail feathers could be installed on Titan, giving it the ability to fly, its speed would definitely be greatly increased.

After dark, let Mona work harder, and use the "Golden Rule" brought by Arcana Justice. Let Xiaoxiang suffer a little, and you should be able to try to reach 4000 desire stones.

However, once all the desire stones are used up, there will be no more exorcism items left.

Therefore, you must be careful when fighting the Kuroshio.

......

In the afternoon, at 14:40 pm, it was dark.

The daylight hours are getting shorter and shorter. Now it gets light at around eight o'clock and gets dark before three o'clock in the afternoon. There are only about six or seven hours of daylight in a whole day.

It is conceivable that in the near future, the earth will usher in eternal night.

Watching Titan observing the pitch-black night outside the window, Shen Qinyin couldn't help but clench her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

She must hurry and enhance the Titan's and her own strength to a stronger level.

In addition, she also placed great hopes on Melodia.

If that booklet can be translated and it really is some kind of cultivation method, then humanity will definitely be able to see a turnaround!

Chapter 179: Instant Death Skill, Death Sentence! (6K)

In an abandoned shopping mall in Yunchuan City.

In the fog, everything was silent.

The Titan's lighting dispelled the darkness within a radius of dozens of meters. Shen Qinyin slowly moved deeper into the mall's underground passage.

Since it is an underground shopping mall, Titan naturally cannot enter.

Shen Qiyin arranged the others in various places to guard other locations and avoid emergencies, so at this moment, she was only accompanied by Mona who was lying on her shoulder.

Within the detection network, a particularly powerful wave was approaching towards them. Shen Qiyin made a rough estimate and if her perception was correct, it might be a level three strange beast.

In the past, level three strange beasts were quite rare. Occasionally encountering one would bring huge disasters to humans.

Now, as the environment becomes harsher day by day, these high-level monsters are becoming more and more common.

I'm afraid it won't be long before level three monsters will be everywhere like level two monsters.

Although the overall strength of human beings is constantly improving, it can never keep up with the speed of advancement of these strange beast entities.

"puff."

"puff."

"puff......."

Soon, the muffled sound of a heavy object stepping on the soil gradually became clearer in the darkness.

The sounds came one after another, getting louder and louder.

Within Shen Qinyin's perception network, the powerful wave was getting closer and closer to her.

She cast her gaze into the depths of the path, and soon a giant spider over two meters tall slowly emerged from the foggy darkness.

The spider's eight legs were made up of human legs interwoven together. Its skin was a sickly grayish-white, and the joints were broken in reverse, revealing white bone stumps. There were some eyes and mouths on each leg.

Its body was a huge, bloody tumor with a rough surface. Its veins and blood vessels were like a complex, dry, and cracked river channel, spreading all over the wasteland.

Below the tumor is a long and narrow crack.

The crack kept opening and closing as the tumor moved, revealing densely packed white fangs inside. The smell of rot and blood spread rapidly like an invisible tide.

“Puff, puff, puff…”

The huge "spider" continued to move forward, and soon it came in front of Shen Qinyin.

The distance between the two was only ten meters, and Shen Qiyin was so disgusted by this ugly monster that her scalp was numb.

Her biggest fear is spiders.

Humans fear spiders more than death. Shen Qiyin can't help but tremble when she sees this creature.

If she had known that this third-level monster was a spider, she would have let Kana deal with it...

Although the perception network can detect the general outline of the strange beast, it cannot be so detailed as to completely outline the other party's image.

Now that things have come to this, I can only go ahead...

Shen Qinyin suppressed her nausea, and her mental power spread out like a gossamer, forming a dense net in the space within a radius of dozens of meters.

The giant "spider" was slow and calm at first, but after Shen Qiyin activated her telekinesis, it seemed to sense danger and instantly became manic.

The mouthpart-like crack below the tumor opened wide, emitting a sharp scream like nails scratching glass. The eight legs moved at high speed and rushed in front of Shen Qinyin!

"die!"

Shen Qinyin opened her red lips slightly, and the space killing method was instantly activated. Millions of mental power threads cut towards the spider beast like sharp blades!

"Buzzing—"

The telekinetic thread cut through the air, making a sharp sound and instantly cutting the eight legs of the spider beast into pieces!

The pale flesh and blood formed by the intertwined human legs were easily cut off like rotten branches.

Its huge, tumorous body was also cut into thousands of pieces of flesh by the spatial killing method, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere. The sticky blood, with a pungent stench of decay and a strong smell of blood, spread in the air.

However, before Shen Qiyin could adjust her breathing, the flesh and blood that was cut into pieces and scattered on the ground seemed to come alive and began to slowly wriggle.

The dense pieces of flesh seemed to be pulled by some force, constantly merging and splicing together. The broken limbs were reconnected, and the broken body gradually healed.

Shen Qinyin frowned. She knew that the other party was resurrecting. She was just surprised that the monster could resurrect so quickly.

Those powerful third-level monsters, such as the Ender Ghost and the black giant, took a very long time to be resurrected by the fog after being killed by her.

But the tumorous spider in front of him could actually be resurrected immediately after death.

Is this its characteristic?
