Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

Even if they seem to lack consciousness, their killing instincts and ninjutsu have not been forgotten, which means they are extremely difficult to deal with. Even if Shui'ao City can be defended, it will come at a great cost.

But after hesitating for a moment, Meng Li suppressed the urge to leave immediately.

It wasn't that he wanted to be a savior.

It's not because he urgently needs intelligence.

The appearance of the Lickers was inexplicable before, and after the restrictions were lifted, he went to observe and explore again, intentionally or unintentionally, but found nothing but a mess.

He had already passed through two doors, which he saw as somewhat like dungeons in a game. Although awakened players like them could enter, the monsters inside clearly couldn't get out.

Just like the abbot of Xiaohan Temple, that door he returned to was where he went into seclusion, but he didn't know how many times he went in and out, but he never appeared in the Hailan Federation.

Therefore, the monsters that can appear in the Blue Ocean Federation are clearly problematic.

When the Licker last appeared, he was just an ordinary person and naturally had no way of exploring its origins.

But things are different now.

Now that he has the option of returning to the city as a safety net, and his strength is also quite good, he doesn't think he would die in less than thirty seconds. In addition, with so many people in Shui'ao City as a buffer, this is a good opportunity to investigate the truth.

He crushed the reanimated ninja in front of him once again.

This thing is completely worthless. After Meng Li activated his talent, he found that he was unable to absorb the other party's physical attributes, which meant that the other party did not truly die after the destruction of the impure body.

However, he currently lacks the corresponding means to attack the soul or spirit.

There was nothing he could do but shatter the opponent and delay its recovery.

Meng Li randomly picked out a set of clothes from a nearby men's clothing store and put them on before canceling his Saintly state.

Although it had been tested several times before, this was the first time it had been used in battle. Meng Li's evaluation of its effect was only two words—powerful and domineering!

Like an amplifier, in his saintly form, all his physical attributes are much stronger than before. Although his current rating is only C+, his overall strength will definitely reach B level after activating his saintly form.

The conditions for entering the saintly state are also very simple.

He can fully charge up the energy storage of the Great Sun Tathagata by basking in the sun for a day, and this energy is enough to support him in a high-intensity battle for an hour. If he only activates the power without engaging in high-intensity combat, he can easily maintain it for several times longer.

Overall, this can be considered his normal fighting style, rather than the kind of three-minute "real man" fighting style similar to Ultraman's transformation.

Seeing that it would take a long time for the reanimated ninja in front of him to recover, Meng Li flashed away from the spot.

Meanwhile, the building where he was located was in complete chaos, with people fleeing and Edo Tensei ninjas killing indiscriminately everywhere.

Meng Li didn't know whether she was unlucky or lucky.

When he went downstairs, he saw that although there were also ninjas committing massacres in other places, most of them were low-ranking ninjas. Even though they were killing desperately, many of them still managed to escape.

The situation was different for Meng Li. The ANBU ninja he was fighting was definitely at the level of a Jonin. Although he couldn't withstand a single punch from Meng Li, he killed ordinary people like chickens. This resulted in no survivors on Meng Li's level except for him, and Meng Li's strength was not exposed.

"Meng Li?"

After walking down a few floors, as I passed a women's clothing store, a faint sound came from the fitting room next door.

Meng Li looked up and was surprised to see Lin Ruotong, whom she had just parted ways with.

At this moment, she had shed her disguise, revealing a pure and innocent face like that of a first love.

At this moment, her face showed obvious panic.

"Why are you still outside? Someone's killing someone outside, hide quickly!"

Without saying a word, she rushed out and dragged Meng Li to the dressing room where she was hiding.

There's nothing particularly exciting about it. Unlike the cramped changing rooms in ordinary shopping malls, the changing rooms here are more like small rooms.

And then she locked the door.

"Are you alright? Didn't you encounter those strange people?"

She hadn't noticed before, but now that she saw that Meng Li didn't have much dust on her, she seemed a little surprised.

Meng Li naturally wouldn't tell the truth.

"I just went to the bathroom, and you dragged me here after I came out. What happened? I see a lot of blood outside."

"You're really lucky. I was trying on clothes when I suddenly heard screams outside. I peeked through the crack in the door and saw someone killing someone. I was too scared to go out..."

I wonder if it was because I met someone I knew that I relaxed.

Pointing to a light blue dress next to her, Lin Ruotong chattered on and on, her voice still trembling with fear. As she spoke, she unconsciously moved a few steps closer to Meng Li.

It's clear she's genuinely scared.

Come to think of it, if the bloody scenes from Category III films were actually displayed in front of us, how many people could remain calm?

After a moment, when Lin Ruotong finished speaking, the air between them fell silent.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat strange.

Lin Ruotong secretly glanced at Meng Li a few times, and a sense of relief rose in her heart.

Although the two were only nodding acquaintances, she already had a certain fondness for Meng Li's temperament and appearance. Now, due to a series of unexpected events, her fondness for her had unconsciously increased.

If there were a favorability system, Meng Li would have discovered that Lin Ruotong's favorability towards him had already reached the level of a friend.

But at that moment, he wasn't thinking about any of that.

Judging from Lin Ruotong's posture, she probably intends to stay here and wait for rescue.

Meng Li expressed her understanding of Lin Ruotong's thoughts.

After all, she was just an ordinary person. If she went out now and encountered even a random Edo Tensei ninja, she would be doomed. These mindless monsters wouldn't show any mercy to women. Rather than running around, she might as well stay here.

Reality isn't a game. If a terrorist attack occurs in such a large city as Shui'ao, the Federation will definitely intervene unless they are truly in dire straits.

But here's the problem: he stayed here to explore the origins of these monsters.

What's the deal with hiding here with Lin Ruotong? Is this some kind of secluded corner where you're supposed to be dating and raising a beautiful girl?

When he's relaxed, he doesn't mind flirting with girls, but when it comes to actually doing something, he's embarrassed to admit that women will only slow him down.

"I'm going out to check it out. You stay here and hide. I'll come back for you if there's any rescue."

Meng Li's words broke the silence between the two.

"Oh, it's too dangerous outside. We can hide here and wait for rescue."

Unexpectedly, Meng Li had this idea. In her excitement, she subconsciously grabbed Meng Li's arm and tried to dissuade her.

Unfortunately, Meng Li wasn't buying it.

I was just about to comfort her and leave.
