At this point, Chen Qi really didn't want to hide it from Ifrit. Ifrit was the one closest to him, and she knew a lot about him, including the fact that Chimera had a short lifespan.

What Ifrit didn't expect was that this day would come so soon.

"No, it won't, it won't."

Ifrit repeated these words over and over again. At this moment, she had already burst into tears under Chen Qi's words. She cried and hugged the shoulders of the man she loved the most, sobbing and saying:

"I will save you, Chen Qi, I will save you..."

"No matter what the potion is, we have succeeded, we have made it, I will definitely find the medicine to save you..."

"Don't die, don't die... I beg you..."

"If even you leave me...what should I do...what should I do..."

"You still want Saria, don't you?" Chen Qi gently stroked Ifrit's hair and said with a tender smile:

"Sareya, Hemer, White-Faced Owl...they are the last gifts I can bring to you."

"…Promise me that you'll be fine even if I leave—Ugh?!"

However, suddenly, Chen Qi was speechless.

His lips were tightly blocked by a scorching temperature, with a hint of salt water-like taste, which directly blocked Chen Qi's words.

However, the next moment, as the temperature of the lips slowly disappeared, Chen Qi heard Ifrit's faint crying voice.

"...I love you, Chen Qi."

"…Me too, Ifrit."

The two of them have come to where they are today relying on each other, feeling the precious warmth, which may be the last warmth they will feel.

"...Chen Qi."

"what happened?"

"…Let me get pregnant."

"...?"

In the hall, the moment Ifrit's faint voice sounded, it seemed as if the air was silent.

This night will be very long, but... maybe it will also be the last long night...

Chapter 99: Cold situation, internal cracks

"Click."

In the early morning, accompanied by the sound of cracking eggshells, two eggs were perfectly cracked on the pan, accompanied by the sound of frying and a faint fragrance.

At this moment, the one busy in the kitchen was not Chen Qi, who usually acted as a father and mother to the operators, but Jessica, who had returned to the room at some point and temporarily acted as the chef.

However, Jessica's condition today seemed a little off. The faint dark circles around her eyes made her look a little out of spirits. Although she had just skillfully cracked two eggs with one hand, her mental state at the moment was indeed a little unpleasant.

At this time, there were only a few figures sitting at the dining table, one of them was Miss Huang, who also had dark circles under her eyes, and another one was Frost Star, who looked like she had not slept the whole night and had a slightly pale face.

Everyone seemed to be in bad condition, but no one spoke first or asked more questions.

"Click."

The door slowly opened, and everyone's scattered mental energy looked over, and they saw Chen Qi, who had just tidied his clothes and whose hair was sticking up, slowly walking out of the room.

However, when Chen Qi came out, he immediately met several pairs of eyes. For a moment, the whole scene fell into silence.

"...You two made too much noise last night."

In the end, it was Miss Huang who broke the dilemma. Miss Huang, with dark circles under her eyes, spoke to Chen Qi with a resentful look on her face.

However, as soon as Huang said this, Jessica in the kitchen paused and the movement of the spatula flipping the eggs slowed down by half a second.

Frost Star on the side also said nothing, just silently drank the water in his cup.

“…I’m sorry to bother you.”

Chen Qi looked at the cold and deserted scene, and after a long while he spoke indifferently. He found a seat next to Shuang Xing and slowly sat down.

"...Why are there only a few of us? Where are Skadi and the others?"

"They left very early. They must have gone to collect intelligence and familiarize themselves with the route." Frost Star replied indifferently. She sounded very cold when she spoke, which was a little inconsistent with the relatively close relationship between her and Chen Qi.

It seemed as if he was deliberately keeping a distance.

“…This is also what I am going to tell you next.”

However, at this time, Jessica slowly came to the dining table with a plate, handed a portion of food to Chen Qi in front of her, and said lightly:

"I woke up early this morning. While you were still asleep, I discussed it with Skadi and the others, and we finally reached a consensus."

"The database is obviously a step we should pay more attention to. We should strengthen the defense there to prevent any accidents."

"I discussed it with Skadi and the others, and finally decided that, in addition to Angelina, who is in charge of our work on a daily basis, Froststar, Lapland, and I will temporarily be in charge of the database work."

"Database... Does that mean you are heading to another area?"

Chen Qi was silent for a moment after hearing this. Then he looked at Jessica, who was chewing the food in front of her slowly without even looking at him. After a long while, he asked calmly:

"But in that case, there will be too many people on the database side."

"——I left Hei here. Although Ifrit may not be able to move for the next few days, I think you should have enough manpower."

If Froststar, Jessica, Angelina and Lapland are all responsible for the database, Chen Qi will only have Gavial, Huang, Skadi, Chen, Hei and Ifrit who is temporarily unable to move. In terms of manpower, it is indeed enough.

But... there was a sudden change of personnel, and Chen Qi himself probably knew the reason.

"... Froststar, do you think so too?"

Chen Qi subconsciously asked Shuang Xing who was standing beside him, however, the icy girl's hand movements paused slightly, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, I saw Shuang Xing slowly put down the knife and fork in his hand, and a cold voice slowly came:

"...As long as it is an order, I will obey it, but I personally support Miss Jessica's proposal."

"……Really."

Chen Qi fell silent after hearing this. Shuang Xing's answer already gave him a lot of information.

For example... the mood of the other few people at this moment is probably very similar to that of Frost Star.

This was not good news for Chen Qi. It meant that there was a strange sense of division within them. Although they were all part of the same team, the consequence was that the team would not be as tight as before.

A point that balances everyone has been broken, and that is not good news.

"… Don't worry, we will follow your orders for all combat plans and ensure they are completed."

Jessica seemed to have taken Chen Qi's concerns into consideration, and her words interrupted Chen Qi's train of thought. She had already dealt with the food in front of her, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said lightly:

"I have already submitted a request for support from Rhodes Island. It will be difficult for us to escape unscathed with just a few people. Rhodes Island and the Integration Movement will send some personnel to assist us in our retreat at the Victoria border."

"There are many more things, I will explain them to you later, but I have something to do now."

Without giving Chen Qi any time to speak, Jessica put down her bowl and chopsticks, picked up the firearm that was stuck in the cello case beside her, and slowly walked out the door.

When Jessica left, Frost Star, who had not finished the breakfast in front of her, slowly put down the knife and fork in her hand, said nothing, and followed Jessica's pace.

With the sound of a door closing, the whole hall suddenly fell into a deserted and eerie dullness.

……

"Is this really okay for us? Miss Jessica."

However, as they walked toward the street, Shuang Xing finally couldn't help but ask Jessica in front of her. Her face showed some struggle and embarrassment.

"Chen Qi obviously did nothing wrong. Is it really okay for us to do this?"

"... Shuangxing, let me ask you, you are now staying by Chen Qi's side, are you sure you can exert the same strength as usual?"

However, Jessica's indifferent question completely stumped Frost Star. Frost Star's expression changed several times in an instant, and finally, she still remained with a lonely and slightly sad expression.

"...That's right. If we stay next to him like this, we will only become uneasy and cause the mission to fail. It would be safer to just change the venue."

Jessica looked at Frost Star, who was in a gloomy mood behind her. After a moment of silence, an expression similar to Frost Star's flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

"...Don't think too much about what happened yesterday, Froststar."

"Don't have any psychological burden. Even if you didn't hear it, I, we, always know more than you."

As Jessica finished speaking, Shuang Xing suddenly paused, and raised her head in disbelief to look at Jessica in front of her. A hint of surprise flashed across her tearful eyes, and she murmured:

"You...all know?"

“…Although we don’t know everything, many of us actually know this.”

Jessica shook her head, as if she had thought of something. After a slight sigh, she said slowly, "So... we are so anxious to help him achieve everything before his life ends."

"Everyone understands, everyone knows... He just thinks he has kept it a secret from everyone."

"…What a fool."

No one knew what emotion the last sentence contained. Jessica's mumbling contained so many emotions that she would never express normally, emotions hidden in her heart that she would never speak of, and would only express by completing tasks again and again.

Yesterday, everyone thought that Jessica had dark circles under her eyes because she was upset, but little did they know that after hearing the conversation between the two people that day, Jessica hid in her room and sobbed all night.

The cupboard was filled with blood-stained tissues... just because, for the first time, she heard from him the fact that she was most unwilling to believe.

One, she knew it a long time ago, but she had always hoped for a miracle...

Chapter 100: Assassination storm, target: Tracy!

Late in the night, at 2:23, the land is at its quietest, and the sleepless city of Londinium is also relatively quietest.

There is never real rest in big cities, only different kinds of prosperity. This can be verified in any modern city. Londinium is also a city without a moment of silence. However, during this period of time, the city is indeed the most mixed and no one is willing to go out.

On this day, in a luxurious mansion in Londinium, which was not very conspicuous in the area, a secret operation had quietly begun.

"…Report, this is the study room on the east side, the target has appeared."

Not far from the other side of the mansion, at this moment, in the shadows, Miss Hei, who had merged with the darkness, was holding her heavy crossbow, which could shoot an arrow through the chest and at least amputate the person's limbs. She stared at the figure that appeared in the study on the east side.

——A Sarkaz man with snow-white hair, pale skin, handsome and majestic appearance, revealing the true domineering aura.

This man is the regent of Kazdel, who is currently living in the capital of Victoria and has enslaved the entire Victorian royal family - Tressi.

He also has another identity: Rhodes Island's original supreme commander, Her Majesty the Queen of Kazdel - Theresa's brother.

However, they became enemies in Kazdel because of the struggle for power. Theresa was originally the orthodox next king of Kazdel with the most support, but the two were eventually split into two different political factions due to disagreements on government affairs, and a civil war in Kazdel, also known as the battle for royal power, broke out for several years.

In the end, the war ended with Theresa's assassination, and the regent gained control of Kazdel. The remaining group of people who had followed Her Majesty Theresa were displaced, trying to find another place on the continent where they could survive and avoid Kazdel's pursuit.

——Rhodes Island was born from this.

The Doctor and Kal'tsit were among the first group of elderly people who followed Theresa. They were also the first group of people who held the supreme command authority during the Tower of Babel, the predecessor of Rhodes Island.

In a sense, Rhodes Island, which once pledged allegiance to Theresa, and Theresis have an irreconcilable feud.

Coincidentally, the world war that broke out more than ten years later, the most critical link of which was that the regent who enslaved the two major countries of Victoria and Kazdel at that time began to expand his power on a large scale, and even extended his hand to Ursus, which was facing internal and external troubles at the time, in an attempt to seize the largest territory of the Terra continent in one fell swoop and become the real overlord.

Kazdel was indeed the last person to participate in this farce. However, it was because of his participation that the real world war began to spread endlessly. It was also because of this signal that the entire Terra was truly involved in this dispute.

Kazdel might be the one who stirred up this mess in the end, but he is definitely the biggest reason why this farce lasted for so long.

The war broke out completely with his participation, and disappeared completely with his death.

It’s a pity that they were still a step slow at that time.

"Report, can I snipe him directly?"

"——The glass here is all bulletproof. We have investigated before, and the chances of long-range sniping are not very high."

Jessica's faint voice came from the microphone. Although the two teams were responsible for different areas at this time, they still communicated with each other through microphones to exchange information and facilitate communication.

For professional killers like them, the sound of the microphone has no effect on their operations at all.

"Hei, follow the plan and don't do anything unnecessary."

"Understood." Hei nodded and continued to set up the heavy crossbow.

Hei's task was to keep an eye on Tracy's position and report his movements at any time, and then be responsible for dealing with some of the patrolling guards around him, as well as trying to snipe him at a critical juncture, when there was no defense around Tracy.

The decapitation mission this time is very simple. The defense measures around Tracys are very good, and assassination is almost impossible to complete. Therefore, the only way is to divert their targets, thereby relaxing their vigilance, and then find an opportunity to decapitate.

Ifrit and Huang will launch violent destruction around the mansion, thus creating a large amount of chaos and attracting some attention.
