Chapter 1608 Motorcycle and Armor
That familiar progress bar panel flashed above Lin Qiye’s head, like a malfunctioning screen, disappearing instantly without a trace.
But Lin Qiye clearly knew what he had seen.
The hospital’s treatment progress bar?
Why would a progress bar appear above his head?!
Lin Qiye couldn’t understand. That flashing progress bar was like a hammer striking his mind, turning his thoughts into a jumbled mess.
He had a treatment progress bar… so what exactly was he? A patient?
How could that be possible? If he were a patient, why wasn’t he in the hospital? He clearly remembered being adopted by his aunt’s family since he was seven or eight years old. Yang Jian could verify this. Although his memories before that were somewhat blurry, he definitely had never been in a hospital ward.
Moreover, if he were a patient in the sixth ward, how did he get out? How could he move freely outside?
No, [Chaos] seemed able to freely enter and exit the hospital even when the treatment progress was only 1%…
But regardless, Lin Qiye firmly believed he wasn’t a mental patient. He had no memories of anything like that, and the hospital was no longer in his hands, so why would a treatment progress bar suddenly appear?
Perhaps something had happened at the hospital’s main entity?
Lin Qiye stood like a statue in the bathroom for a long time, then, as if realizing something, looked down at his palm.
“Could it be you…” Lin Qiye murmured.
In Lin Qiye’s mind appeared the face of a little boy who looked almost identical to himself, whom he encountered each time he was near death… His existence was like a mystery. Lin Qiye had thought it was just a hallucination during his near-death experiences, but after the [Chaos] incident, he knew the boy actually existed.
If that progress bar was real too, then it might not be pointing to himself… but to the mysterious boy inside him.
Was he the true sixth patient of the hospital?
Complex thoughts surged through Lin Qiye’s mind. He almost wanted to jump into the sea and kill himself to meet the boy again and get answers, but ultimately he resisted the impulse.
Setting aside whether his current physical body would even drown if he jumped into the sea, what if he died and couldn’t meet the boy? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
After struggling with his thoughts for a long time, Lin Qiye sighed and walked out of the bathroom.
Just then, a figure nearly collided with him.
“Wu Quan?”
“Brother Qiye, I was looking for you.” Wu Quan pointed toward the deck. “We’re almost there.”
Lin Qiye nodded, wiped the remaining water from his face, and walked straight to the bridge.
As Wu Quan had said, through the hazy mist, the outline of land was faintly visible. Countless shipwrecks floated along the coastline, and a wide waterway extended straight into the depths of the land.
“We’ll reach London in about an hour at most,” said Shen Qingzhu, steering with one hand.
“Can the ship go straight in?”
“Yes.”
The exploration ship gradually advanced along the waterway. The dead of night was shrouded in gray mist. With the ship’s lights, they could barely make out the ruins of the city on both banks, like a tomb standing in the fog for countless ages.
Vaguely, a giant shadow spanning across the river appeared in everyone’s vision.
“Tower Bridge,” Lin Qiye’s gaze moved from the map, slowly surveying the silent ruins around them. “It seems we have arrived…”
“Weren’t there supposed to be humans living here? Why don’t we see any traces?” Wu Quan asked puzzlingly.
“Perhaps they don’t live on the surface at all. Although these mists have weakened considerably compared to a hundred years ago, they’re still deadly to ordinary people,” Lin Qiye explained.
“Then how do we find them? London is quite large.”
Lin Qiye looked at the map in his hand and sighed helplessly.
It was a pity he couldn’t summon Wangcai now, otherwise he could call out Bell Crandall to guide them, which would save a lot of trouble.
“Let’s dock the ship and go ashore first.”
The exploration ship gradually approached the shore under Shen Qingzhu’s control. The four of them stepped onto this land of ruins and walked forward along the uneven road.
After some time, Lin Qiye stopped in a relatively spacious clearing.
“Are we not searching anymore?” Wu Quan asked.
“Finding them is too troublesome. Since the [Holy Judgment Knight Order] is in London, why not let them come to us…”
Under the crimson cloak, Lin Qiye’s fist gradually tightened. Crackling sounds emanated from his bones, and his aura rapidly surged!
Seeing this, Shen Qingzhu’s expression changed. As if realizing something, he pulled Wu Quan back several hundred meters.
Lin Qiye took half a step back, raised his right fist high. Just this action alone stirred up a howling gale, making his cloak flutter violently!
The next moment, that fist tore through the void, churning the air into a distorted vortex, and smashed into the ground!
Boom——!!!!
Thunder roared across the ruins from level ground, the entire city of London violently shook, and a visible ripple of force swept across tens of kilometers, completely collapsing the remaining building outlines around the four of them.
Wu Quan felt his vision blur as the hurricane swept up his body, nearly lifting him into the air. He had to use the power of [Emperor of Dominion] to forcibly control his body to stay grounded.
“Isn’t this a bit too dramatic?” Wu Quan shielded his eyes with his arm and couldn’t help asking.
“What’s there to fear?” Shen Qingzhu said calmly. “Even if the Supreme God came today, they couldn’t do anything to us.”
The dominance in Shen Qingzhu’s words made Wu Quan’s heart leap with joy… Indeed, Brother Qingzhu was still the same Brother Qingzhu. Even if he seemed more reserved on the outside, he remained sharp and aggressive inside.
But Shen Qingzhu was telling the truth. With him, Lin Qiye, and No. 27 together, they could escape even if surrounded by Supreme Gods. As for Main Gods… they could kill them one by one.
In the swirling dust, the crimson figure slowly stood straight, gazing into the distance.
Boom——!!
A deep rumbling sound came from afar, like the growl of beasts, rapidly approaching.
“They’re coming,” Lin Qiye said calmly.
As the dust covering the ground gradually dispersed, more than ten dazzling white lights cut through the night, so bright they hurt the eyes. At the end of the rugged road, a convoy of heavy motorcycles was roaring toward them.
The low-slung bodies of the bikes hugged the ground as they flew, their streamlined shapes elegant yet fierce. On these motorcycles were white figures clad in heavy armor. The surface of the armor flowed with faint luminous patterns, emanating a mysterious aura.
“Hmm?” Upon seeing these armors, No. 27’s eyes narrowed.
“Knights ride motorcycles?” Wu Quan raised an eyebrow.
“This is the mist. Horses of flesh and blood couldn’t survive here. Motorcycles are all they can ride,” Shen Qingzhu unhurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, watching the motorcycles gradually come to a stop, and couldn’t help but praise,
“I have to say, they look pretty cool.”
