"You, what are you talking about? Money is just waste paper now. If you want to get something, isn't it the simplest way to exchange it? If they want to get more materials, they have to pay accordingly. Isn't that normal?"

In response to Noguchi's words, Li Yao raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.

"I totally agree with you. Special times always have special costs."

"But the essence of this statement is that you did not deliberately target them in order to satisfy your own desires."

Noguchi's hair stood on end immediately. He could clearly feel the cold air emanating from Li Yao.

"I heard from Sister Satomi that the people in charge of the distribution of supplies seem to be the members of the Order. So, it is not impossible that you, Brother Noguchi, who is also a member of the Order, slightly withheld some supplies in order to force those girls to sell themselves."

"Fuck you!!!"

Snapped!

Hit the pain points.

Instantly Noguchi rushed towards Li Yao, grabbed him by the collar, and then raised his fist and hit him in the face!

Fortunately, Li Yao was no pushover. He was quick-witted and immediately grabbed Noguchi's wrist and twisted it with his backhand. The severe pain in his arm instantly made his legs go weak and he knelt down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yao tripped Noguchi with his left leg and pressed down with his knee, and in an instant he captured Noguchi under him.

"I know very well that I am not a good person, but I will not deliberately persecute others for my own selfish desires."

All along, Li Yao knew how evil what he did was in the eyes of humans.

He never denied it.

But he knew that this was the infamy he had to bear for Dagu and the others, and for the sake of this planet.

There are always some more important things that require a price to be paid.

But selfish desires like Noguchi's would never be among them!

The actions of the two soon attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"what happened!"

Rimi led the members of the Order through the crowd, but the next second she was stunned by two people on the ground.

After coming to her senses, she quickly pulled Li Yao and Noguchi apart, shouting angrily:

"What are you two doing! Do you still have the energy to do something like this in this world?!"

Li Yao patted his clothes, then gave Noguchi a disdainful look and left.

Rimi was sandwiched between the two of them, her eyes darting left and right, then she sighed and ran to catch up with Li Yao.

"CNM's stupid brat! Get out of here! Don't let me see you again, or you'll have something to worry about!"

Noguchi pointed at the disgusted figure and cursed, then went into the tent and locked himself up.

He took out a small gadget not even the size of a finger from his pocket and grinned. It was exactly the thing he had thrown into Li Yao's clothes before escaping from the nest!

Taking advantage of the chaos just now, he took it back again when no one was paying attention.

Before the war, Noguchi was a waiter working in a hotel. His daily hobby at work was to peek into the "fierce fighting situation" in each room with a pinhole camera he bought.

However, there were occasional equipment failures, and since it was obvious that such things would be used to commit crimes, it was naturally impossible to take them out for repair. Naturally, Noguchi taught himself a sophisticated repair technique.

What he had in his hand was the miniature eavesdropping device he had made by modifying a vacuum camera.

Ever since he met Li Yao, Noguchi always felt that there was something wrong with him.

Whether it was shooting down a drone on his own, or defeating a giant spider monster in an instant, or miraculously surviving in a life-or-death situation, Noguchi could conclude that Li Yao was definitely not human.

Now, as long as he can export the contents of the bug, he can verify his guess.

Li Yao, just wait for me, I will tear your ugly mask to pieces! Noguchi murmured in his heart, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, under the guidance of Rimi, Li Yao finally found Colonel Fuji's wife and children - Fuji Taixing and his mother.

Entering the tent, holding the cat named Xiaojiu, Taixing looked at this "hero" with surprise who had saved everyone many times along the way.

"Brother Li Yao!"

"That's great, it seems that the supplies I brought back earlier have been well distributed to you and your son."

Tai Xing nodded his head vigorously, his joy obvious.

Then the little boy kept telling his mother about what happened to everyone along the way and Li Yao's heroic fighting figure.

Tai Xing's mother also held Li Yao's hands and thanked him repeatedly.

After some pleasantries, Li Yao turned around to confirm that there was no one else outside the tent, then sat cross-legged in front of the two and replied solemnly:

"Please suppress your surprise and don't let others find out about this."

After seeing the mother and son nod in agreement, he slowly spoke:

"I am the messenger sent by Colonel Fuji to find you two. Your husband and father are safe now. He and his large forces are waiting for you two to reunite in a natural cave dozens of kilometers outside Nara."

Chapter 181: I don’t want to see you, and I don’t want to think about you

Since swarms of insects have begun to appear in the subway tunnels connecting the various shelters, if you are caught by them in such a closed environment, you will have nowhere to escape.

For this reason, after discussion, it was decided that the original connection between the shelters would be mainly based on the surface.

Compared to being attacked from both sides by the swarm in the tunnel, being discovered by a drone or Hector on the ground still offers a glimmer of hope.

Li Yao, who had already prepared to unite with all the survivors in the shelter to break out, naturally would not miss this opportunity. As one of the first liaison officers to go to the shelters, he also volunteered to charge to the front.

Of course, there is another reason.

The underground shelter is so noisy!

The various sounds brought by nearly a thousand people crowded together could not be dissipated in the closed environment, so much so that he wished he could deafen his ears because his hearing was so good.

It is a rare opportunity to go to the quiet surface. For Li Yao, it is like a recuperation. How could he let it go?

"Fortunately, the sensation of my body is no different from when I was a human, so nothing embarrassing happened due to being too sensitive. Otherwise, it would have been a double hell..."

"Brother Li Yao, what are you talking about?"

Rimi, who was standing in front leading the way, turned around with a faint smile on her face.

Li Yao waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was lying when he said he was fine, given his haggard and weak look.

Rimi slowed down her pace and walked side by side with Li Yao, gently raising the back of her hand and placing it on his forehead to carefully feel the temperature.

"You don't seem to have a fever, or is your stomach upset because you ate something unclean?"

Li Yao waved his hands quickly and explained with a wry smile:

"I'm not feeling unwell anywhere, it's just that there are too many people in the shelter, and I... am not really suited to being in crowded places."

Rimi was startled, then something came out of her mouth with a "puff".

"What? He is still a little brother after all."

Seeing Rimi laughing, Li Yao just smiled bitterly and agreed.

There are only two of them in the team heading to the surface for contact this time, which is understandable. After all, too many people would make it difficult to operate covertly, but if there are too few people and no one to look after them, it would be difficult to overcome some difficulties.

Two people is just right, not too many, not too few.

Rimi and Li Yao hid in the corner of the alley and quietly turned their heads to look.

Sure enough, on the main street outside the alley, there was a bipedal combat robot named Hector standing guard.

"It's obvious that we can shorten the journey by a lot just by passing through here... but this guy can only take a detour here."

But Li Yao quickly held down Rimi's shoulder as she was about to leave, and pointed at Hector on the street and said:

"No, we can go through. The head of this Hector is stored inside its body, and its movements are also in a relaxed posture, which means it is in a dormant state. As long as you don't deliberately attack it or other nearby enemies, it will generally not move."

Rimi and Li Yao looked at each other, their bright eyes flashing with incredible light.

As a member of the Self-Defense Forces, she had fought against these guys before, but the result was that the troops were almost wiped out, and she luckily escaped by falling unconscious in the wreckage of an armored vehicle.

But she only knew how tricky and powerful these things were, and the rest of her understanding of Hector was almost like a book of heaven - a blank.

After a moment's silence, Rimi looked into Li Yao's eyes.

"I believe you."

The two of them crouched down and made sure there were no other enemies around.

"three."

"two."

"one."

"go!"

Two dark shadows quickly crossed the street and ran into a shop at the other end to hide.

This distance and amount of exercise were not enough to make Rimi feel tired, but the anxiety and excitement in her heart still made her sweat profusely and breathe heavily.

He turned his head to look at Hector.

It really didn't move, it just remained the same as if it knew nothing.

"Brother Li Yao! What you said is true!"

Under the blow of joy from Rimi, Li Yao's voice trembled along with the slap of praise on his back as he explained:

"Hector is usually only used as the main force of the annihilation army on the front battlefield. In this state of alert, they will enter a dormant mode and rely entirely on drones for early warning activities. This way, the consumption is very low and the efficiency is higher."

After hearing this, Rimi also smiled in surprise:

"But this also gives us an opportunity. As long as we pay attention to other enemies, we can move around however we want!"

Li Yao nodded in agreement, but added, "If we get too close, Hector will still notice us." Then the two of them walked away quickly along the road.

at the same time.

The wreckage of the drone that was shot down by Li Yao yesterday.

Ding--

After a clear sound, a purple-haired woman dressed in strange clothes suddenly appeared in front of the drone.

The tight one-piece suit made of an unknown material outlined her graceful curves, but the golden glow emitted by the clothes and the bright red light spreading all over her body made people think of the mothership that landed that day.

Her fingertips ran over the wound on the drone caused by the bullet explosion, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Then tremble.

tight.

distortion.

ka ka ka-

The joints of his clenched fist made crisp sounds, and his eyes under his purple hair burst into a red light full of murderous intent.

"Monster Z...are you really here?!"

……

The red glow of the setting sun was cast over the silent city. Looking at the setting sun that was already half hidden at the end of the street, Li Yao and the other man both had a faint smile on their faces.

"pretty."

"Well, it would have been more beautiful if there were still many people on the streets before the war."

"Really? Then you should come and see it after the war is over."

After saying that, Li Yao turned around and entered the last shelter he was going to contact today.

But unlike her previous decisiveness, Rimi stood there and hesitated for a long time.

"Sister Rimi, what's wrong?"

"No, it's okay."

Walking down the subway station, knocking on the steel plate that completely blocked the intersection, Satomi shouted:

"We are from Platform 7, and we have something important to discuss with your leader!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a square cat's eye opened on the blocked steel plate. After the eye inside confirmed the appearance of the person coming, an iron door that was just big enough for one person to pass through was opened.
