My Endless Life.

Chapter 404 New City
Ancient monuments, no one knows where they came from.

All I know is that they are indeed quite old.

In fact, at the beginning, no one took these ancient monuments seriously, because although these monuments looked weathered, after scientific detection and exploration of the years of existence of the objects in the monuments, archaeologists concluded that these monuments were built only a few decades ago.

How can a historic monument that is only a few decades old be called a historic monument?

However, a hundred years later, someone carefully inspected the ancient monument again and found that it had only existed for a few decades. Then countries around the world finally began to take this monument seriously.

If there is one, there will be two. During decades of investigation, countries have discovered that there is more than one such ancient site around the world.

Although their styles are different, the years after trace detection are similar, and the establishment time is within a few decades.

Since then, the Antiquities Commission has been established and countries around the world have formally conducted investigations on these ancient monuments.

Sun Xiaoqing was once a code name member of the Ancient Monuments Society, but she had never actually conducted archaeological exploration with anyone in the society.

There are special people in the club who do archaeological work. Sun Xiaoqing's job is to make money for the club, and the same is actually true for most people in the club. The ones who really do the archaeological work are the Twelve Stars and some core members.

So Sun Xiaoqing has never been inside the ancient monument in person.

The cave she was in now was the first ancient site she had ever visited in her life!
"Ruins, are there any magical weapons or treasures in here?"

When Li Qiao heard Sun Xiaoqing say that this was a relic, her eyes suddenly brightened.

Magical weapons, martial arts secrets, protagonists in novels and stories, and legendary heroes, most of them became rich because they encountered relics left over from ancient times.

Even Li Qiao's grandfather, Li Xueren, would have found it difficult to become a second-grade grandmaster if he had not happened to obtain the ancient secret skill of the Godless Formless Art in an ancient relic.

So after hearing that this was a relic, Li Qiao was more curious about this place than wary of it.

She was about to go deeper inside to take a look, but before she could take any action, Sun Xiaoqing stopped her:

"Sister Qiaoer, let's go back."

"Huh? Why?"

"The ancient sites are very dangerous, especially after the Dark Day. These places are heavily polluted areas. We have no idea what kind of pollution there is. It is too dangerous to move forward rashly!"

"Is that so..." After hearing Sun Xiaoqing's advice, Li Qiao sighed regretfully.

She didn't insist on committing suicide, but instead asked Sun Xiaoqing for her opinion: "Then shall we go back?"

"Go back and report to Meng An. It just so happens that he is also very interested in ancient monuments."

Sun Xiaoqing made a quick decision.

Ancient monuments are the source of pollution and strange objects. Li Qi has been interested in ancient monuments for a long time, but due to his age and the coming of doomsday and other reasons, Li Qi has never been to an ancient monument in person to see it.

Now that a special historical site has appeared, Sun Xiaoqing can report the matter to Li Qi and let him make a decision.

They stopped and did not go any deeper into the ancient ruins. Instead, they planned to go back to the Dream Town to rest.

But as soon as the two turned around, the whole world suddenly changed into another appearance.

The dim cave became bright.

Although there was still no sunlight, they did not need a strong flashlight to illuminate and could see everything around them.

The cold wind was howling and the snow was falling.

The two of them seemed to be teleported from the gloomy and dark cave to an unknown snowy mountain.

Behind the two of them, a huge, ancient and primitive temple stood there.

Seeing the temple behind them, both of them showed a look of surprise on their faces.

They were absolutely certain that what they were thinking about just now was returning to the Dream Town.

But who could have thought that after taking that step, he did not go back to the Dream Town, but instead came to such a special place!

Shocked, Sun Xiaoqing immediately took another step, trying to return to the dream town.

But after taking a few steps, she still stayed where she was, and the scene around her did not change at all.

"It seems like we can't go back?"

When Li Qiao saw Sun Xiaoqing's actions, she also took a few tentative steps forward and finally came to a conclusion.

Sun Xiaoqing nodded with a unhappy expression.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she and Li Qiao might indeed be trapped here and unable to go back.

……

The refugee group from Suhe City was picked up by a bus and headed to the nearest railway line.

The authorities planned to transport these refugees via the still-operating railway lines and send them to the capital city of Liaohai Province for refuge.

The capital city of Liaohai Province is Chunhui City. Although it is not as good as a super first-tier city, it is still a first-tier city in the whole of China. It is easy to accommodate hundreds of thousands of refugees.

However, after entering Chunhui City, these refugees will need further inspection and quarantine to ensure that no pollution is brought into the provincial capital.

Compared with Suhe City, Chunhui City actually suffers more pollution. After all, Chunhui City has a population of several million. Once highly contagious pollution occurs somewhere, it can easily plunge the entire city into chaos.

Even before Li Qi and others came to Chunhui City, it was still plagued by an S-level pollution.

If the Twelve Golden Immortals had not sealed several exceptional-level pollutions while dealing with the S-level pollution, Chunhui City would probably not be able to accept refugees at all.

Yes, Li Qi has learned through conversations with higher-ups that Suhe City is not the only place where exceptional pollution has occurred.

In fact, extraordinary pollution has broken out all over the world. This pollution has caused the loss of more than half of the world's population. If China did not have the Twelve Golden Immortals Diagram and other rare objects with deeper backgrounds, it would probably have lost more than half of its population.

Even so, if the pollution breaks out across the board, there will be a loss of nearly 10 million people.

This only counts the extraordinary pollution, and the losses caused by pollution of S level and below are not calculated. If all are counted, the number of deaths and missing in this disaster may exceed 30 million!
Thirty million may seem like just a number on paper, but these are real people!

It's a person who is so close to the horizon that you can't even see the end of him if you put him on flat ground!

As a result, he left this world because of these pollutions.

Even Li Qi remained silent for a long time after knowing this number.

But I soon forced myself to forget these unpleasant things.

After all, this is the end of the world, a doomsday world that is likely to lead to the complete destruction of the world! Tens of millions of people may seem like a lot, but judging from the percentage of the number of people lost, China's casualties are actually the smallest.

The country did the best it could to avoid greater casualties.

Besides, now is not the time to be sad. Pollution has not been resolved and the doomsday is still going on. If we don’t find a way to end the doomsday as soon as possible, more people will probably die in the future.

"Captain, we are about to arrive in Chunhui City. Are you sure you don't want to come with us later?"

Inside the helicopter, Xie Yan, who was only wearing thin clothes and providing "heat" to the people in the helicopter, turned his head and looked at Li Qi, who was resting with his eyes closed and his hands folded across his chest like a little adult, and asked.

The refugees from Suhe City have been accepted by the officials of Chunhui City. After confirming that there was no contamination, the people from the 057 Bureau were picked up by the 057 Branch of Chunhui City by helicopter.

The bureau's main goal is to gather all available forces as quickly as possible to deal with possible crises.

Now that Zhao Chenghu's five-member team has all been "sacrificed", Li Qi, the special consultant promoted by Zhao Hong, has become the main person in charge of this team.

The original intention of the 057th Bureau was to invite Li Qi to come over and briefly explain what happened in Suhe City.

But Li Qi refused.

Li Qi prepared various reporting materials and handed them to Xie Yan, asking him to explain on his behalf. He then planned to find a quiet place to rest.

But after all, they were facing the higher-ups in the bureau, and Xie Yan felt that Li Qi's behavior was not a good idea, so he asked for Li Qi's opinion again.

Li Qi closed his eyes, without even looking at Xie Yan, and said:

"I haven't paid the full price yet. If I go out to meet someone now, I'll probably make a fool of myself. Why, do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

"Um... no, but, Captain, you are old after all. Even if you really did something, others probably wouldn't care too much."

Xie Yan looked at Li Qi's cute face and felt that Li Qi must be thinking too much.

Children actually have certain privileges.

The more obedient, sensible and well-behaved the child is, the greater the privilege he or she will have.

There is no need to say much about Li Qi's appearance. His face, which has not yet fully grown, is delicate, cute, and it is difficult to tell whether it is androgynous. It can be said that it is rare to see a child as good-looking as Li Qi among his peers.

Coupled with his mature personality, as long as he doesn't behave too abnormally, everyone can accept his "willfulness".

Children have such special rights.

But after hearing what Xie Yan said, Li Qi kicked him lightly:
"If I say no, it's no. Stop talking nonsense. Go to the meeting later and don't bother me."

Maybe what Xie Yan said was right. Even if Li Qi showed his love for the older sister, others would probably accept it easily.

It is even possible that you will run into some older sisters who are into shotacon.

For example, Miss Bailey...

But one thing is another.

Li Qi doesn't want to do anything irrational when influenced by the cost.

Li Qi didn't really care whether it was embarrassing or not.

What he really cares about is that if he really did something to someone, he should be responsible for what he did.

So in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, it’s better to hide as much as possible.

Anyway, there is no need to hide for too long. Under Li Qi's powerful mental strength, the cost and impact brought by the hypnosis APP has been reduced to the lowest level.

It won't take a few days to clear the cost completely.

He just needs to hide for a few days.

After getting off the helicopter, Xie Yan took Xu Leying, Yi Cheng, and Ye Yue who was beside Yi Cheng, to attend the meeting of Bureau 057.

Li Qi was resting in the room arranged by the bureau.

He planned not to see anyone for the next few days and to clear the cost first.

But sometimes, the more he doesn't want to get into trouble, the more trouble will get him.

Right now, he had just moved into the assigned room for less than two hours when he heard a noisy sound coming from outside:

"Is that genius kid you were talking about here? He didn't even go to the meeting, he's so crazy!"

"Captain Qi... Captain Qi! Our captain said that he has been dealing with the impact of the price these days, so he won't see anyone. It's not that he didn't intend to miss the meeting..."

"Who knows whether what you said is true or not! Besides, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you stop me? Get lost!"

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and finally, with an angry shout, a figure smashed the door of Li Qi's room, and then smashed into the wall of the room, creating cracks on the wall.

Li Qi, who was resting with his eyes closed in the room, looked up at Xie Yan on the wall, then looked at the two-meter-tall burly man who walked in through the broken door. He rarely laughed.

The moment he smiled, everyone inside and outside the room felt a biting chill.

The coldness seemed to be able to freeze the soul, making people shiver and tremble uncontrollably.
