Chapter 619 Sight
While the golden barrier was expanding, almost all combatants took transportation to the edge of the golden barrier.
There are fusion warriors and there are ordinary warriors.
Fusion warriors are in the hundreds, ordinary warriors are in the thousands.
The former is responsible for attacking, while the latter is simply used as [food].
In order to support the main combat force and put a greater burden on the golden barrier, thousands of ordinary soldiers have been injected with high-concentration Honkai reagents to increase the content of Honkai energy in their bodies.
This reagent is fatal to ordinary people. After being directly injected into the human body, it will become a dead man who loses his humanity within a day.
In other words, even if they successfully come back from it, they still cannot escape the fate of death.
However, these people have long been determined to die, and the Fire Chaser Moth also told them this when distributing the potion.
Even if you are afraid, don't run away.
Since their families are still in the shelter, if this mission fails, it is likely that none of them will survive.
"..."
On the roof of a building near the base, Li was worried after all and borrowed Nozomi's body to come back and take a look.
Among the warriors who attacked, he saw familiar faces such as Destobia, Hen, Penny, etc., and...
Thinking of Destobia's slightly pursed lips that he had just observed with his superb eyesight, Li realized that the Herrscher who appeared this time might be particularly troublesome, and was not as easily solved by the fusion warriors as he had thought before. .
"Brother, are you going?"
"……Um."
"Then I..."
"Sorry, I won't take you with me this time. Just wait for my good news in the shelter."
……
Ri returned to the base and headed to Mebius's new laboratory.
The golden barrier has spread here, covering part of the base.
"..."
Li stopped at the edge and watched the golden barrier spreading towards him at a slow speed.
Has the lab been covered...
Li frowned and stepped back. After all, she didn't want to risk Yixi's body.
But without the spare body of the Thousand Herrscher, he couldn't act alone. He could only take Xi in the shelter and wait for news.
What should I do?
Just when Li was troubled, whether it was an illusion or something, he actually heard footsteps coming from inside, one after another, and it seemed that he was walking with great difficulty.
Looking up, he saw that at the end of the corridor, the petite Mebius was dragging the bodies of two people and slowly walking towards him.
But the barrier seemed to have caused a lot of physical damage to him, causing Mebius's progress to be unable to keep up with the spread of the barrier.
She lowered her head as if she might collapse at any moment.
"..."
Without any further hesitation, Li quickly rushed to Mebius' side, grabbed her body, and together with the two people she brought out, ran out of the barrier in a flash of light, and stayed away for a long distance.
Feeling that a small part of the Honkai energy was missing in her body, but fortunately, Xi's body was not in any condition, Li let out a breath.
"Mebius, wake up."
Li patted the face of Mebius who was lying on the ground, sniffed, and felt the beating of his heart.
Fortunately, he is not dead.
His eyes were on the two people brought out by Mebius. One was the unconscious Velvet. God knows why she hadn't left when the barrier spread.
Didn't you receive the notification? Or are you simply immersed in your own little world of invention?
Velvet's condition was worse than that of Mebius, her face was as pale as if she was about to die. Apparently she had stayed in the barrier longer than Mebius.
But there shouldn't be any serious problems after leaving the barrier. Li can feel that the Honkai Energy in her body is slowly recovering.
Then he turned his attention to another "person", who was the spare body that Li desperately needed.
Maybe Mebius brought it out just for himself?
...I owe you a favor.
Li silently noted it down, stretched out her hand to touch the Thousand Herrscher, completed the transfer of consciousness, and at the same time took out the soul steel ball that Xi carried with her.
"Xi, go to a safe place and protect them, can you do it?"
Li pointed at Mebius and Velvet and gave serious instructions to Xi.
"Okay, big brother, you have to come back as soon as possible... you must come back!"
"Ah."
Nozomi hugged someone with one hand, walked a certain distance with Li, and then separated.
She was responsible for leading the unconscious two people away from the barrier, while Li controlled the "puppet" to walk along the edge of the barrier, following the footsteps of the large army.
……
"This is it. There are the fewest obstacles to reach the Herrscher from here. There is no need to climb mountains or cross water. You just need to keep walking forward."
The soldiers stopped not far from the edge of the barrier and watched the golden dividing line between life and death slowly approach. Everyone felt nervous.
"The spread has slowed down, which is good news, right?"
"Well, that means it's almost reaching its upper limit."
"But it's not yet certain whether it will suddenly expand later..."
"So, let's go."
……
Li followed the [trace] and saw no one at the edge of the barrier.
All in.
"..."
Li walked to the barrier and reached in, feeling severe pain. Then the body and the Honkai energy possessed by Li were being sucked away.
Li took back his hand, and based on the dissipation speed of Honkai energy, he roughly calculated how long he could move within the barrier.
It took more than an hour, was it because too much [food] was put into it?
The barrier is obviously affected, but it won't last long.
Because those who enter will die, each person's fall will restore the barrier's absorption rate of Honkai energy by one point, which means that the exact time Li can be active is much shorter than estimated.
With a distance of dozens of kilometers, can they make it?
Li took out the instrument she had prepared and entered a series of instructions. Then the locations of Alicia and other familiar people were displayed on it.
The equipment may not be usable after entering, so Li needs to remember everyone's position before entering, and then guess their movement direction.
If you want to catch up, you have to run faster than them.
But the guys inside were definitely moving at the fastest speed, and Li knew very well that if he really caught up with them, he would most likely be lying on the ground.
After entering, Li's power will also be suppressed. It is obviously impossible to drag those friends who are on the verge of death out of the barrier with the body alone.
So what can he do?
Li touched the soul steel ball in his pocket, took a step forward, and completely immersed his whole body in the barrier.
And at this moment, he felt the [line of sight] belonging to an existence dozens of kilometers away.
