Chapter 114 Temporary Driver
As the saying goes, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
Even something as harmless as salt can poison a person to death if you eat two kilograms of it.
Although the Penicillium colonies transplanted into the body can completely kill the flesh-eating fungi, that is only when dealing with the few free-living fungi.
And in the years of youth, this humanoid substitute is actually the hatching source of all fungi.
It can be said to be a mobile fungus cultivation tank.
Fighting it hand-to-hand is like putting your arm into the fungus jar at close range.
Other Stand users can let their Stands do this kind of high-risk close combat work, but Li Qing only uses his "real body" to crash into the humanoid source of the disease.
Under such a large-scale fungal invasion, the symbiotic bacteria in Li Qing's body quickly lost their resistance and gradually succumbed to the attack .
Soon, the pale green carnivorous fungus took over half of his body, ready to erupt completely at the first sign of an attack.
"idiot!"
Jocrat felt that he had the upper hand:
"You now have flesh-eating fungi all over your skin."
"If you move even slightly [downward], they will multiply at an explosive rate and devour you completely!"
"So…"
He stared at Li Qing intently, thinking:
Because of the information provided by the boss and his personal experience just now, he knew that Li Qing had some special high-speed displacement ability.
Although Qingchun Suiyi now has the upper hand over Li Qing with his strength advantage, Chocolat is still worried about Li Qing's "stand ability" and is wary of him directly attacking his real body.
"It's too slow to fight with fists alone. If we keep dragging it out like this, he'll easily seize the opportunity to counterattack..."
"Let's use some other means to speed up his death!"
Chocolat thought so in his heart and ordered the youth years to move forward.
The cabin is only a few meters away from front to back.
This sturdy humanoid substitute first used its strong and powerful fist to push away Li Qing who was blocking the front of the cabin, and soon rushed to the driver's seat in the front of the cabin.
Then, just when Li Qing was wondering why this Stand didn't protect the real body but rushed forward...
It suddenly reached out and abruptly pushed the helicopter's collective pitch lever.
The helicopter's stable automatic hovering posture was instantly broken, the angle of attack of the helicopter's rotor changed immediately, and the aircraft began to suddenly sink downward.
"What?!"
Li Qing was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground because of his unstable standing.
However, the helicopter had already descended two or three meters during this short process.
The carnivorous fungi that infected his body immediately received the attack signal and began to explode and multiply on Li Qing at an extremely terrifying speed.
His blood volume suddenly dropped, and the speed of life loss became extremely alarming.
“Damn it!”
Li Qing had no choice but to take this opportunity to concentrate his strength on attacking Chocolat's body.
And Chocolat seemed to be prepared.
After pushing the collective lever slightly, the young man quickly turned around and left the driver's seat, blocking Chocolatier tightly.
"Do you want to attack me?"
Chocolat laughed jokingly while hiding under the protection of his double:
"The plane is still descending."
“The rate at which fungi break out is roughly proportional to [the height difference].”
"If you don't stop it, you will die here in a few seconds!"
Li Qing froze and dared not attack any further.
Only then did he realize that this helicopter had become his lifeline.
As long as the helicopter was still descending, he didn't even have the qualifications to let go and fight.
Li Qing had no choice but to quickly turn around and walk back to the driver's seat, then frantically pulled the joystick.
Click…
The pole is pulled.
There are two joysticks for controlling the helicopter. The one that Qingchun Sui pulled just now was the collective pitch lever that controls the up and down movement, but Li Qing accidentally pulled the control lever that controls the forward, backward, left and right movement.
The helicopter's fuselage tilted suddenly, and its descent speed actually increased.
“Asshole!!”
Li Qing had only flown a helicopter a few times in computer games since he was a child.
Faced with such a thrilling situation, he could only hastily pull back the pole he had pulled, temporarily honing his driving skills in this tense and exciting practice:
"Are you crazy?!"
"If this helicopter falls, you won't survive either!"
Li Qing cursed angrily.
"Don't worry about me, Mr. Li Qing."
Chocolat admired Li Qing's embarrassed posture, and his smile became more and more arrogant:
"Like I said, the speed of the fungal outbreak is roughly proportional to the height difference."
"Although your vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary people, judging from the speed at which your health bar decreases..."
He laughed carefreely:
"If you fall another twenty meters, you will die instantly."
"By then, I will naturally have plenty of time to pull the helicopter back."
"you?!"
Li Qing was so angry that he could hardly speak.
Holding the collective pitch lever in one hand and the joystick in the other, it was difficult to stabilize the shaky helicopter.
Then, Li Qing, who had become a little more familiar with the operation, finally stopped the helicopter's downward trend and raised the flight altitude slightly.
As the height moves from [low] to [high], the fungus's attack momentum instantly stops.
Li Qing's health also stopped decreasing.
However , this does not mean that his condition has improved.
On the contrary, because Li Qing had no idea how to fly a plane, nor did he know how to make the helicopter hover automatically, the helicopter was still in a very bad condition.
It swayed left and right in the sky as if it would fall down at any time, flying in an unknown direction like a headless fly.
As soon as Li Qing let go of the joystick, the helicopter would start to lose control.
If the helicopter loses control and falls, the deadly fungus on his body will explode at an extremely terrifying speed.
In other words…
Li Qing has been trapped in the driver's seat.
If he didn't fly, the fungus on his body would kill him.
And if he held on to the two joysticks, he would not be able to attack Chocolat or even protect himself.
What's worse is that Chocolat has been hiding behind his stand like a turtle, so even if Li Qing really wanted to fight to the death, he would have no chance.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Looking at Li Qing's funny look as he was busy flying the plane, Chocolat couldn't help laughing out loud.
He looked at the now completely trapped Li Qing with his fiery and crazy eyes, as if he was looking at his own trophy in a cage:
"Li Qing..."
"Since you have come to me, let me enjoy your death!"
As he spoke, Chocolat actually picked up the camera that he used specifically to film the victims' deaths, and pointed the evil lens firmly at Li Qing.
At the same time, his stand-in, Youthful Years, slowly stepped forward.
This terrifying humanoid substitute, whose entire body was covered with terrifying light green mold, raised his hand high and punched Li Qing heavily.
Bang!
The punch hit Li Qing's cheek hard.
But Li Qing didn't dare to hide, nor could he hide.
Not only could he not dodge, he also had to straighten his back and stiffen his face, while standing tall to endure the heavy punches of his youth, and at the same time trying not to let the force of the punch affect the position of the joystick.
“Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good…”
"You have a nice expression!"
"Although I am a little annoyed by the failure of that loser Sai Ke, but seeing you look so ridiculous..."
"It's like lying on the sofa on a quiet summer night and watching a murder video from the past. It makes people feel inexplicably happy!"
Seeing Li Qingna's conflicted look, wanting to fight back but not daring to, wanting to be angry but not being able to, Chocolat was completely excited.
He forgot the embarrassment of being forced to have his feet cut off, and also forgot the trouble of losing the battle. He was only focused on torturing Li Qing to death and recording his last appearance before his death in complete detail.
that's all…
Chocolat hid behind and used a camera to film Li Qing's embarrassed and helpless appearance.
The years of youth were like wielding a powerful fist, hitting Li Qing again and again.
It deliberately slowed down under the command of its main body, not in a hurry to kill people, but more to create a "beautiful view" for Jokrat to appreciate.
But Li Qing's health was constantly decreasing.
He had no way to fight back and could only try his best to stabilize the helicopter while enduring the almost humiliating blow.
He originally had nearly 70% of his health left, but after being hit one punch after another, he was reduced to only 10%.
If he had been hit one or two more times, Li Qing would have been dead.
"It's the end..."
Chocolat licked his lips with satisfaction, and moved the camera closer to Li Qing's face:
"Give the youth years a perfect ending!"
"etc!"
A light shout was heard.
Li Qing sat upright in the driver's seat, his hands and feet still on the rotor control stick and tail pedals like a professional pilot.
However, he turned his head 45 degrees and gave Chocolatier a cold, angry, yet inexplicably calm look:
"If you kill me now, you will die right after me."
"What are you talking about?"
Chocolat was slightly stunned, and immediately retorted with his neck stiff:
"It's obviously you who is going to die!"
"It doesn't matter if the plane loses control. Once you die, I will naturally adjust the out-of-control helicopter back to normal."
Compared with ordinary airplanes, the biggest advantage of helicopters is that they are safer.
The large propeller blades can use the wind during descent to rotate at high speed to provide power, greatly slowing down the plane's falling speed.
If the operation is done properly, the pilot can even land the helicopter safely if the engine loses power completely.
Therefore, Chocolat, who considered himself to be a first-class driver, was very relieved about this.
"No."
Li Qing's tone remained calm:
"When I say 'died', I don't mean from the plane crash."
"But because... well..."
He pursed his lips and motioned for Chocolat to look out the window:
In the sea-blue sky, a metal object with a striking flame tail was roaring towards the helicopter.
"Is this... an anti-aircraft missile?!"
Chocolatier's pupils shrank.
He finally realized what was happening: "Where on earth did you fly the plane to?"
"Not far."
The burning missiles cut through the sky like sharp swords, but Li Qing, who was hanging under the sword, shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened:
"It's just a little closer to the nearby naval base."
