Chapter 333: Revisiting the Old Place

Not long ago, the armed helicopter that Li Qing regarded as a hero was rapidly approaching the coast under Li Qing's command.

The mirror-like blue sea surface is not far ahead. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a huge blue jade, majestic and magnificent.

But at this moment, the pale young driver was in no mood to appreciate such beautiful scenery.

While he was trying hard to suppress his fear and flying the helicopter towards the sea, he couldn't help but ask Li Qing in a trembling voice:

"We've reached the coastline. The sea is just ahead."

"What now?"

"Should we lure the monsters to our naval base next?"

The driver was trembling and seemed to want to say something but stopped.

In fact, he had already vaguely guessed Li Qing's "real purpose":

Go to the coast? Is there anything on the coast that can fight against the monsters?

Of course, there is only the invincible navy of the New Roman Empire.

It's obvious that this bald guy has bad intentions. He wants to divert hatred and misfortune!

The young American soldier felt mixed emotions when he thought that the Imperial fleet he served was about to be attacked by monsters because of Li Qing's trick.

He was heartbroken, he was entangled, he blamed himself:

"No, how can I do such a thing..."

"This is a betrayal to you, sister!"

The driver's eyes were wet with self-blame and he felt like dying.

But Li Qing said silently during the interval between the firing of the Vulcan Cannon:

"We're running out of bullets."

"When the bullets are all used up, we will be the ones that the piece of meat will swallow up."

"ha?"

The driver's face changed.

The helicopter, which was heading straight towards the US military base, suddenly flew much faster.

"Don't worry."

Li Qing was still comforting his American friend with reassuring words:

"The bullet can only last for another five seconds at most."

"Five seconds is not enough for us to fly to the base."

"Your superiors and comrades will be fine. The only ones who will die are us."

“…”

The driver's mouth twitched and he couldn't speak.

The helicopter beneath him flew silently a little faster.

"Keep accelerating, dive down, and lose altitude."

Li Qing gave timely instructions when the driver was about to have a mental breakdown.

But his command to this professional driver was even more despairing than his superior's order to "persevere":

"Speed up and dive down? Shit!"

"This damn helicopter is going to crash into the ground. It's looking for death!"

Although the other party's words were automatically translated into the familiar hometown dialect in Li Qing's ears.

But Li Qing believed that this American friend must have used a lot of interjections beginning with F, and also greeted the mother of the helicopter.

"Calm down! Calm down!"

In order to avoid casualties, the driver's cooperation was necessary, so Li Qing had to try his best to comfort this young man who was in a bad mood.

By the way, he couldn't help but miss General Colt, who was able to cooperate with his operations perfectly, command calmly in the face of the Meat Mountain, and annihilate thousands of troops with ease.

"Believe me--"

"I promise to save you and your comrades."

Li Qing tried his best to comfort the other party with words that he could understand:

"Don't forget how I got on the plane."

"I'm a 'superhero', the kind with super powers."

"Captain America, you know that? It's definitely not a problem for me to fight him on equal terms."

"this…"

The driver was stunned by what he said, and he thought it made sense:

Indeed, Li Qing just "flew" up.

With a flying guy next to you, are you still worried about the plane crashing?

Thinking of this, and seeing the mountain of meat chasing him relentlessly below, he finally chose to compromise and believe.

In this way, under his operation, the helicopter dived forward rapidly and its altitude dropped rapidly.

200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters...

"Now!"

Li Qing fired his last bullet.

He carried the unconscious machine gunner on his shoulders, then rushed to the front of the cabin and picked up the pilot.

"Jump!"

Taking two people with him, Li Qing jumped down from a height of 50 meters.

The helicopter was still accelerating and diving forward. Compared with Li Qing and others, its speed could attract more of the lava monster behind it.

Just like that, the Meat Mountain swooped forward, chasing the diving helicopter.

Li Qing, along with the driver and machine gunner, landed safely on the roof of an office building about 40 meters high below.

The whole process was safe and sound. Before the young driver could even scream, Li Qing had already placed him steadily on the floor on the roof.

The helicopter sacrificed its own interests for the greater good, and after successfully leading the mountain of meat more than a hundred meters away, it burst into brilliant sparks in the air.

The sound of a helicopter explosion could be heard from afar.

Li Qing felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar.

How could it be so familiar? When I think about it carefully...

The one in Chocolatier, the one in Colt, the one in Rome at night, and now this one…

Every helicopter he had taken seemed to make this familiar sound in the end.

Li Qing broke four helicopters in less than two weeks. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately gave up the idea of buying a private helicopter.

"Ahem...okay."

Putting aside these wild thoughts, Li Qing pushed the unconscious machine gunner into the driver's arms:

"Take your comrades and leave."

"Remember not to get within 100 meters of the monster when you run away. The farther away, the better."

"Otherwise you will become its target again."

“I know!”

The driver nodded excitedly.

After personally experiencing Li Qing's extraordinary power and escaping safely, he became more convinced that Li Qing was a superhero who came to fight monsters.

When superheroes and super villains fight, ordinary people should naturally stay as far away as possible.

The driver remembered Li Qing 's instructions clearly, and then without looking back, he carried his unconscious comrade and searched for the stairs to escape.

Li Qing no longer paid attention to him. He just let go of his perception and focused on observing the surrounding environment.

The surrounding buildings and roads were all presented in a three-dimensional form in his mind.

He soon found out where he was:

"Port storage area. I'm standing on the roof of the port office building now."

“Next to the office building are those large warehouses.”

“It’s here…”

“Although I didn’t choose my landing location deliberately, I eventually brought Roshan to this warehouse.”

Li Qing clearly remembered that he first encountered the Meat Mountain in this port storage area.

At that time, he was carefully keeping a distance of more than 100 meters from the meat mountain, ready to wait for his companions to come and then lead the meat mountain into the sea.

As a result, someone was shooting in the warehouse next to him, and the bullets attracted the mountain of meat little by little.

The most crucial thing is that when the meat mountain approached, an extremely violent explosion occurred in the warehouse.

The debris flying in the explosion further led the Roshan closer to Li Qing.

Li Qing, who was originally sitting on the Diaoyutai, was accidentally sucked into the perception range of the Meat Mountain. He had to risk his life to lead the Meat Mountain into the sea alone.

Thinking back now, the situation was truly thrilling.

The Americans who played with fire in the warehouse almost killed him.

"Wait...Americans?"

Li Qing's expression suddenly froze:

He always thought that the people hiding in the warehouse and firing shots were American soldiers who survived the helicopter.

After all, who else but them would be in a warehouse near the crash site with guns?

But now, these two American soldiers were rescued by Li Qing.

Moreover, he specifically reminded the driver to avoid the mountain of meat, so how could they possibly run to the warehouse and stay there?

“There is a problem…”

Thinking back carefully, I didn't use my hearing to carefully investigate the situation inside the warehouse, and I couldn't confirm the identity of the people inside the warehouse.

After all, the warehouse exploded just as he was trying to listen.

And now Li Qing used his super hearing to lock onto the interior of the warehouse:

There was no one in the warehouse at the moment, and there was no movement at all.

"Hey, wait!"

The more Li Qing thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he immediately turned around and called out to the American pilot who hadn't had time to go downstairs and leave:

"What can I do for you?"

The driver stopped cooperatively.

"Well, I want to ask..."

Li Qing pointed to the warehouse that changed his fate:

"Are you going there with your comrades now?"

"ha?"

The driver turned and looked at the warehouse:

The warehouse was located very close to the Meat Mountain. Although the distance between the two was less than 100 meters, it was still dangerous enough to make people frightened.

Running there? Is he crazy?

There is no such thing as courting death!

"Why would I go to a place like that?"

The driver replied puzzledly:

"Didn't you tell me to stay as far away from that monster as possible?"

"I plan to send my comrades back to the base first, and then escape from here as soon as possible."

"Hmm..." Li Qing paused for a moment, then asked again tentatively: "Then do you know what is stored in that warehouse? Are there any explosives or weapons?"

"Explosives and weapons..."

The driver's expression became even stranger:

"This is a warehouse in a civilian port, not an ammunition depot for our fleet."

"How come there are explosives and weapons in there?"

“I understand.”

Li Qing did not make things difficult for the driver and just let him go.

He was alone, lost in thought:

There was no one in the warehouse, and no weapons or explosives.

Then how did the warehouse explode? How did the meat mountain get drawn there?

Faintly, Li Qing seemed to find himself standing on the edge of danger without realizing it:

If this warehouse hadn't been blown up...

Wouldn't that be in complete conflict with his memory?

Li Qing has watched many time-travel movies, and he knows very well that this kind of conflict between the past and memory is simply... a time paradox!

Each work describes the paradox differently, but without exception, paradox is always equated with extreme danger.

"Oops, looks like I have to do something now."

"If nothing was done, how could the warehouse explode?"

"If the warehouse hadn't been blown up, I wouldn't have been targeted by the Meat Mountain, and I wouldn't have met Colt. Colt wouldn't have used his "wise command" to sink the aircraft carrier, and this war, which had just begun, wouldn't have ended prematurely because of the heavy losses suffered by the US military..."

"This is a 'big cause and effect' that can determine the direction of a war and affect the fate of thousands of people!"

With a heavy burden on his shoulders, Li Qing couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.

The past must be made to go on as he remembered it!

Otherwise, he might not be able to withstand this huge time paradox.

“What should I do…”

"What on earth do I have to do to avoid a time paradox?"

"So that the past can proceed as it is remembered without being affected?"

Li Qing's brain was working rapidly.

The clues hidden in past memories emerged in his mind one by one.

These fragmented memories were strung together like beads, allowing him to find a way out of the fog and darkness.

"call…"

After a long time, Li Qing's breath gradually became calm as he thought.
