We are from the future ark

But she must try...

"Om..."

However, at the moment when Skadi's voice was heard, accompanied by an extremely light sound, a faint blue light slowly lit up in front of Skadi.

——That was the light of Chen Qi’s robotic arm.

With the help of the cool light, Skadi's vision slowly became clear. However, before Skadi could feel happy about the response, everything in front of her overwhelmed all her emotions.

——On the other side of the robotic arm, there was no familiar face at all, but an extremely solid "wall" covered with steel bars and rubble.

Chen Qi's mechanical arm appeared just in front of Skadi. The distance between them was not far, but... Chen Qi's situation was much worse than Skadi's.

In fact, his body was not as tough as Skadi's. After suffering such a heavy blow, his current state was... obvious.

"Chen Qi...don't worry..."

"I will stay with you... and wait until rescue."

However, Skadi did not give up. She stretched out her scarred hand and used all her strength to hold Chen Qi's mechanical arm. Regardless of whether Chen Qi could sense it or not, she said word by word:

"So, please... don't give up..."

"We can all survive... definitely..."

"..."

There was no sound responding to Skadi, but Skadi felt that the cold mechanical arm, as if responding to her, gently held her hand.

No extra words were needed, just that one action made a beautiful smile appear on the face of Skadi, who was in an extremely embarrassed state at the moment.

However, two lines of hot tears slowly flowed down from his eyes...

He... still needs me...

That's enough...

"…I'm sorry, Skadi."

However, at this moment, a weak and familiar voice suddenly emerged in her mind. Skadi's pupils condensed slightly as she listened to the voice echoing in her mind.

This is... Chen Qi's Originium skill... but why?

"Skadi...stay alive..."

"Om-"

Along with this voice, the blue light of the mechanical arm in front of Skadi began to slowly gather and became brighter and brighter.

And Skadi seemed to have realized something. With tears in the corners of her eyes, her pupils showed an expression of disbelief.

"No, no, no..."

"You can't leave me...you can't-"

"boom!"

Before Skadi could finish her words, she felt a force that had reached a critical point burst out. Before Skadi could react, a huge force rushed towards her.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Skadi's body was knocked out from the ruins. If Skadi's race was not too heavy, the force just now would be enough to blow her away.

However, Skadi was indeed knocked out of the ruins and out of danger by such force.

However, along with such tremendous power comes the residual power after the explosion.

"boom--!"

The landslide occurred again, and the location was unmistakable, at the place where Skadi had just escaped.

After the landslide, Skadi finally opened her eyes with great effort. However, at this moment, her eyes were almost uncontrollable, with tears falling drop by drop...

"...Chen Qi?"

In her mind, it seemed as if some connection was severed, but she still refused to believe it and called that person's name over and over again.

Trying to... even get the slightest response.

"Chen Qi... answer me..."

"Don't cut off our spiritual connection..."

"Can you hear me?"

"Hey……"

Calling again and again, no matter what the method was, Skadi tried every method she could.

No response once, twice, three times... no matter how many times, she can repeat it...

However, there was no response...

Not a single response...

It was as if at that moment, she was back in that boundless and lonely sea...she conveyed her voice over and over again...but could not get a single response from anyone like her...

That boundless loneliness came again, enveloping her whole body once again...

"Chen Qi...are you still alive..."

"..."

no respond.

Nothing...nothing...

"Tick."

With tears dripping onto the ruins bit by bit, Skadi did not utter any wailing. She just lowered her head, letting her long snow-white hair fall down, and lay on the ruins in a mess, crying silently.

Powerless... As an Agor, Skadi felt so powerless at this moment...

That time, she personally destroyed the confession that was close to madness. At that time, she said to her... "Live well."

This time…she watched with her own eyes as her second confidant…died in front of her in order to save her.

He also told her... "Live well."

live...

Why...why...did you all let me live?

Why... am I the only one who survived?

"Am I...as expected...a person who will bring disaster..."

The dark will devoured Skadi's mind. The moment before she lost all consciousness, all she left behind was this mumbling.

At this moment, the bounty hunter, having suffered an enormous physical and mental blow, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She was unconscious, or rather... asleep.

She fell into a dream that was both distant and extremely silent...

In that lonely, endless sea...looking for that long-lost response.

Until... the moment she got a response...

Chapter 108: Shrouded in haze, people are lost

"Run!"

"boom--!!!"

When I felt a sudden push from behind, I had no time to react at all. In just a moment, everything in front of me became blurry.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the real explosion coming from above covered up all the other sounds.

I only remember that at that moment, the flames and explosions engulfed everything in front of me, and plunged my consciousness... into darkness.

A second before she fell into coma, she seemed to feel... something was broken from her life.

……

"what!"

Chen almost woke up from his coma with screams of pain and fear.

The moment I woke up, I felt myself sweating profusely. I don't know how long it took for my eyes to slowly refocus.

Is it... a dream?

"Uh--" However, before this thought lasted a second, the pain transmitted all over his body alerted Chen that this was not a dream.

At this moment, many parts of Chen's body were bandaged and her legs were in plaster. Chen could also see that there were still medicines and test tubes that had not been taken away in some places beside her.

…Was she rescued?

But...what about Chen Qi?

"Where is Chen Qi?"

Chen struggled to stand up. Although he was in great pain all over his body, Chen's uneasy heart at this moment had to be seen with his own eyes to truly feel at ease.

She pulled out the nutrient solution from her palm, looked around, and found her own Chi Xiao, who was not far from her bedside.

He propped himself up and walked with difficulty while holding onto the wall. With his other hand that could still move, he grabbed Chi Xiao and used him as a crutch, walking towards the outside step by step.

"Click."

The door opened in response, but before Chen could walk out, a figure outside the door blocked her way.

"You, when did you wake up?"

"…Why are you here?"

Chen looked at Yaye, who shouldn't be here, and was stunned for a moment before immediately asking, "Where am I?"

"Officer Chen, don't be nervous. You are still in Londinium." Yaye supported Chen and walked slowly towards the bed, explaining to Chen:

"I am responsible for accommodating your retreat this time. I, along with Niyan, Linguang, and Miss Xiaguang, will be responsible for accommodating your retreat according to your previous plan."

"But now, Londinium has returned to the control of the Victorian royal family, and we have also obtained royal permission to provide medical assistance to those injured in this operation."

"Her Highness Vina has also woken up and is fine."

"…So, Victoria is fine now?"

Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Victoria was out of danger. Although they failed to kill Tracy, their goal had been achieved. He believed that future cooperation would be much smoother.

However, this is not Chen's biggest concern.

"Yaye, where is Chen Qi? I want to see him."

"Before I passed out, I only remembered there was an explosion above me. Are he and Skadi okay?"

"..."

However, when Chen asked this question with a little concern, she did not get the answer she expected.

In Chen's sight, Yaye, who had originally had a normal expression, dimmed at an almost visible speed after hearing her question, and slowly lowered his head.

"……What's wrong?"

Yaye's reaction made Chen's heart tighten almost instantly. It was obviously something he could react to immediately, but at this moment, Chen was a little bit hesitant to trust his intuition.

"It was obviously... it was just an explosion. Although the power was not small, but with Skadi here, Chen Qi will definitely -"

"——The building after the explosion is just outside the window." Finally, Yaye bit her lower lip slightly, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, lowered her head and dared not look directly into Chen's eyes and said:

"Officer Chen, you can take a look at the scale of the explosion."

"..."

Yaye's words were like a heavy stone hitting Chen's heart, shattering her fantasy and timidity. Her pupils were trembling, and her body was filled with a feeling that was not sure whether it was timidity or panic.

She turned her head away slowly and tremblingly, as if she was timid, or perhaps, in denial.

However, no matter how slow her movements were, the window that was so close to her had already fallen into her eyes at this moment.

...Outside the window, there is a ruined street with traces of war everywhere.

The most eye-catching thing is a collapsed building. You can vaguely see that it was a tall building, as if it was a small hill made of rubble...
