I kidnapped the timeline

Star City to the north.

There was a hazy drizzle in the sky.

There are mountains in front of them, and the marching team is winding up like a long dragon.

The soil became muddy under the moisture of the rain, and the march began to gradually slow down.

Walking in the air, Feng Qi looked into the distance, and the hazy mist and rain enveloped the green mountains and the road ahead.

After passing through these continuous mountains, the Dawn Army will step into the plains, and are very close to the destination of this trip, Future City.

Whether years of hard work will pay off will soon be revealed.

His figure fell rapidly at this moment and came to the front of the team.

"We can reach the future city in two days at the earliest. What do you think?" At this time, Qin Shikong, wearing a tattered Taoist robe, came to him.

"If you have any opinions, that's all." Feng Qi grinned, and then continued:

"Why don't you do some fortune-telling in advance to see how our trip will end?"

Qin Shikong shook his head helplessly at this moment:

"I've done the calculations several times, but I can't figure out the secrets at all. You know I need to catch the clues for fortune telling, but the clues haven't come yet. I can't predict the outcome of this trip. Such situations rarely happen... …I even suspect that there is something hiding the secrets in the future city.”

After listening to Qin Shikong's explanation, Feng Qi immediately thought of Xiao Hei.

If there is anything in the future city that cannot be seen through multiple timelines, it is Xiao Hei and the mysterious man "Mo" who created Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei is an old acquaintance.

Although they have never met each other in the sacrifice line, he will always be "warmly greeted" every time he goes to the future 1500 years later.

Among them, "Mo" is the most mysterious existence.

When he was lurking in the Science and Technology Research Institute, he knew that there was one of the most mysterious scientific researchers in the Science and Technology Research Institute, "Mo".

Psychic technology, black death plan, spiritual energy dispelling bomb, mantra machine... Mo is behind all kinds of black technology products.

If Heiying is the leader of the Science and Technology Research Institute, then Mo is the technical core of the Science and Technology Research Institute.

It was also with the help of Mo that the Science and Technology Research Institute controlled by the black shadow successfully surpassed the "Future Research Institute", which was once the number one authority in the future city.

Even behind Li Xingchen's mechanized transformation technology, there was Mo's technical support.

During his time at the Undercover Science and Technology Research Institute, he had seen two black technology products developed by "Mo".

The first is a bomb that can dispel spiritual energy.

The lethality of this weapon is almost non-existent, but its impact is huge, and its upper limit is extremely high.

After the bomb explodes, it will dissipate the spiritual energy within one kilometer, creating a spiritual energy vacuum field. For a creature that controls spiritual energy to fight, it is almost like being hit seven inches.

Unless there is a large amount of spiritual energy contained in the body, it will instantly fall into a state where it is impossible to cast spells.

Especially those battles that rely heavily on external spiritual energy for spellcasting. In an environment without spiritual energy, it is impossible to exert the combat power that it should have.

At the same time, the spiritual energy vacuum area will also cause the cultivator to lose the source of spiritual energy replenishment in an instant.

In order to solve this problem, Feng Qi also made preparations in advance.

He opened the warehouses of Hu Po and the Military Department, and equipped each soldier with spiritual stones to carry with him. Once he was unable to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, he would rely on spiritual energy to temporarily help restore spiritual energy.

The second item is the Truth Machine.

It was this machine that almost exposed him in the first place.

If it weren't for Wei Wei's help, he wouldn't have been able to survive that internal test.

However, when Wei Wei faced the test of the truth machine, she did not find a real solution to the problem. She only developed a special medicine that made him instantly enter a coma when he was eroded by spiritual energy.

At that time, he had undergone biochemical transformation and his body was extremely weak, so Heiying just thought that this was a serious sequelae of biochemical transformation. In addition, his physical condition was indeed on the verge of death at that time, so he barely survived the early exposure.

This shows how terrifying Mo's ability is.

He has always been a mystery in Feng Qi's heart.

Some people speculated that he was a human being, some speculated that he was a creature from another domain kidnapped by the shadow, and some speculated that "Mo" was the shadow himself.

But except for Heiying, no one in the Science and Technology Research Institute can have contact with Mo.

Among various speculations, Feng Qi is more inclined to think that Mo is the black shadow.

He has seen what Sombra is capable of.

If the Lord of the Mist is a master at playing with strategies, then the Black Shadow is a master at playing with people's hearts.

He can make many warriors sacrifice their lives for him without hesitation, even betraying human beings, which shows his ability.

But the most powerful thing about Black Shadow is definitely not his method of playing with people's hearts, but his origin.

Exploring multiple timelines, Sombra's identity is now clear.

It is the psionic tribe that originally escaped with the "miracle".

Being from a psychic race proves that Sombra is a genius.

Because every member of the Psionic Tribe is a genius, they possess the miraculous "Holy Spirit Consciousness Bank" and can continuously absorb knowledge and skills from the memories of their ancestors and tribesmen.

Black Shadow was once a member of the Psychic Clan, and having access to extremely precious miraculous items proves that he is still a core member of the Psychic Clan.

This is enough to show that Black Shadow possesses a huge amount of knowledge.

This knowledge can be a formidable weapon at any time.

With their thoughts in mind, Feng Qi, Qin Shikong and others climbed over a mountain and continued towards the future city.

…

Future city.

Institute of Science and Technology.

Looking at the black figure standing in front of him, Li Xingchen described the process of this mission and the tragic ending of the mission with heavy losses.

After finishing his narration, Li Xingchen glanced at his subordinate whose mechanical body was severely damaged standing behind him.

There were originally twenty people when they returned, but now there were only eight people left.

More than ten others chose to commit suicide before entering Future City.

He once told Feng Qi that there was no need to know how he would explain it to the black shadow.

But he knew more about the horror of the black shadow.

A total of 96 people participated in this survey task.

Everyone else was dead, and not one of the twenty people who followed him was killed, which would inevitably arouse the shadow's doubts.

Precisely because he knew the black shadow, he knew that he could never simply fool him.

Before entering the future city, he asked his subordinates to draw lots.

Thirteen of them are dead and eight are alive.

Regarding his decision, the subordinate soldiers had no complaints and went to die calmly.

This was what he told the shadow to prove the brutality of the battle and the heavy losses on his side.

After listening to his story, the black shadow suspended not far away was silent for a short time and then said:

"I understand, go back."

Li Xingchen didn't answer, and immediately turned around and led his subordinates outside the Science and Technology Research Institute.

Walking out of the core area, passing through the base road full of technology, he came to the outside of the Science and Technology Research Institute.

What you see is an extremely bustling urban scene.

Countless maglev vehicles shuttle in the distant sky according to fixed tracks, in an orderly manner, and the city lights are bright under the night.

After instructing his subordinates to return to the Future Research Institute, Li Xingchen walked towards home.

What you see along the way is like a cyberpunk scene in a science fiction movie. There are virtual projected billboards everywhere, and even various projected signs are installed on the road.

The history of Future City is the shortest among the five major cities.

In the new world after the disaster, humans decided to slow down the development of science and technology and devote more energy to the development and improvement of cultivation.

During this period, many industries faced elimination.

Especially industries related to technology.

At that time, Star City and Victory City were the pioneer cities of cultivation studies, and much of the land would be used for the construction of cultivation schools and cultivation research institutes.

Many tech industries are facing a situation with nowhere to go.

But at that time, humans had no intention of giving up the development and application of science and technology.

After all, technology can assist the development of cultivation and bring great convenience to human modernization.

Under the special background of the times, Future City, which was relatively backward in industry, became a new place for various technology industries.

It was against this background that the Institute for the Future and the Institute for Science and Technology were born.

In particular, the Future Research Institute, Baina Haichuan, inherited many excellent technologies from the pre-catastrophic era and became the most promising technological development and innovation research institute at that time.

After hundreds of years of development, Future City has successfully developed into a science and technology capital with the efforts of the Future Research Institute and the Science and Technology Research Institute.

Everything here is packed with convenience.

To hail a taxi, you only need to click on your mobile phone, and a self-driving vehicle will come to pick you up. After getting in the car, enter the designated location, and you can quickly reach your destination.

The traffic flow in the entire city is extremely large, but there is never any congestion.

Because the journeys of all vehicles will be recorded by the central processing system, the central processor will also adjust the speed of driverless vehicles in the area in real time to ensure smooth traffic anytime and anywhere.

Wireless charging devices are also installed on urban roads.

Keep public facilities throughout the city active at all times.

The operating efficiency of Future City is undoubtedly the first among the five major cities. The remaining four cities have also adopted Future City's plan and the scientific and technological facilities provided by Future City in their subsequent improvement and construction.

Arriving at the waiting area outside the Science and Technology Research Institute, Li Xingchen took out his mobile phone and called up the taxi app.

After a short wait, a driverless car stopped in front of him.

After getting in the car, he entered the destination of his trip on the APP after identity verification.

Suddenly the driverless vehicle slowly took off into the air.

Flying to an area with dense traffic flow, the driverless car waits briefly and then penetrates the traffic flow and heads towards the destination.

After a while, Li Xingchen opened the door.

The house occupies a huge area and the interior is extremely luxurious.

Sensing his entry, the lights in the room automatically turned on one after another, and the dormant butler robot was automatically activated and started busy.

Arriving at the metal door on the east side of the room, Li Xingchen pushed it open and entered.

What appeared in front of him was a private laboratory, with cabinets attached to the walls on both sides filled with various mechanical parts.

He came to the technological experimental table in the center and sat down. Suddenly, the screen above dropped to the area where his vision was most comfortable and stopped.

After some operations, the eight robotic arms on the experimental table started and stretched towards Li Xingchen.

In less than half an hour, Li Xingchen's body was disassembled from the neck down.

Next, the robotic arm took out brand-new mechanical parts from the cabinets on both sides of the laboratory and began to reassemble them.

The slightly broken mechanical body quickly took on a new look.

When the blue lights on his arms lit up one after another, Li Xingchen, who had fallen into a deep sleep, opened his eyes.

He looked down at his mechanized body, his expression did not change at all.

Standing up slowly, he came to the corner of the laboratory.

There is a photo there, a photo of his teacher and him. He was still young at that time, and even if the sky fell, his teacher would hold him up.

Unknowingly, so many years have passed.

Touching the photo with his fingers, a trace of nostalgia appeared in the eyes of Li Xingchen, who was notorious in the Science and Technology Research Institute.

The determination in the teacher's eyes before he died came to mind:

"Xingchen, I am your pledge. I let you stand next to the devil in order to kill the devil better, so there is no need to be sad."

It was he who personally pushed the teacher to the guillotine in exchange for the devil's trust.

He reached out and took out a cigarette from the drawer, rubbed his fingers together and lit it as flames came out.

"hiss!"

While puffing out the clouds, his vision was obscured by white mist.

"Teacher, I see your shadow in that guy, and I will help him succeed."

Putting down the photo, he turned around and came to the experimental table again.

Turning his head to look at the red energy core placed on the right side, which shrank and spread like breathing, he took a deep breath, and then clicked several times on the screen in front of him without hesitation.

The robotic arm started again, and the restraint device on the experimental table automatically fixed the body.

Soon screams echoed in the laboratory.

When it was all over, the blue energy on Li Xingchen's chest was replaced with red.

This energy core was personally researched by his teacher. Its energy output is more than five times greater than the blue energy core of the Science and Technology Research Institute. However, its disadvantage is that it is extremely unstable and may explode at any time.

From a purely technical perspective, this energy core is far inferior to the blue energy core provided by the Science and Technology Research Institute.

But this time, he just needed more power and no longer considered the potential risks.

Feeling the abundant energy running through his body, Li Xingchen slowly stood up from the experimental table and walked out of the laboratory.

He looked up at the electronic clock in the upper right corner.

The arrival of the Dawn Army is not far away.

This time Black Shadow's strategy against the enemy is already obvious, and it does not intend to take the lead.

In other words, as long as the Dawn Army does not take the lead in firing the first shot, even if the army is approaching the black shadow, it will never take action.

The reason for this is simple.

He wanted the outside world to see that the Dawn Army was the first to take action, and that they were forced to fight back.

When the time comes, public opinion will be overwhelmingly on the side of Future City, and even major cities will be forced to provide certain material support and help.

By then, the pressure the Dawn Army will face will continue to increase.

Maybe the lurking forces in other cities will be forced to send support forces.

After finishing his glass of wine, he stood up and left the room.

A few hours later, Li Xingchen's figure appeared at the south gate of Future City.

In these days of war deployment, the South Gate has mobilized several city defense troops. They are stationed in the South Gate and are prepared for the war in advance. The nearby residents have also evacuated in advance.

Looking towards the city, a large number of technological weapons have already been deployed.

At this time, his eyes were looking towards the city gate.

In the future, there will be a wide moat outside the city, with a width of 180 meters. The water in the river is made of highly toxic substances produced by the field.

In addition to filling the river and other means, the most convenient way to enter the future city is to enter from the main road outside the city.

However, the city gate is made of mysterious metal sponsored by the Star City Military Department. It has extremely strong defense and is difficult to break through in a short time.

This is the key point for the Dawn Army to invade Future City.

Thinking of this, Li Xingchen turned his head and looked at the tall building in the distance on the right.

There is the console of the future south gate of the city, which is where the city gate can be opened and closed, as well as the authority to use city defense weapons.

Looking down at the time, Li Xingchen had a cold look in his eyes.

He knew that it was difficult to influence the direction of the war with his own ability alone.

He just wants to do what he can.
